Gecko Patrol

I despise geckos. They are the stuff my nightmares are made of. Most people think they are cute and interesting, me...I wish death upon them all. They are hideous little creatures that defy the laws of physics. There is nothing cute about a fat, transparent gecko showing off his internal organs hanging out on my window. Give me snakes, rats and roaches any day...a gecko. NOPE! For the most part they stay outside, but every now and then one is stupid enough to venture inside. Little do they know I've got all my minions trained and ready! Caleb will scout it out and shout to alert the others, the cats will throw it around a bit and torture it until Cooper gets his turn to pounce and then Colin escorts what ever is left of it outside. I have to say the accuracy with which Cooper can stop a lightning fast gecko with one paw is incredible. This was the scene Shelby walked into one evening. Gecko on the window, Caleb spotted it right away and alerted me, and it wasn't long before the whole family was in the bathroom stalking the gecko. Fortunately for this one he was on the outside and he lived to see another day.
