lost lizard

I felt very foolish last night, in my front yard with
me and the kids with flashlights looking into bushes
for our lizard, Elvis. I had left the gas stove on for
over an hour, and there were fumes in the house. While
it was clearing out, we played out front. I "rescued"
the animals too, setting the lizard down in the grass
to hunt for ants or crickets. Well I forgot all about
him until bedtime when one of the kids walked past his
empty cage...So there we were all outside, with
"roaring" lion and tiger flashlights that belonged to
the neighbor kids. Just as we were about to give up,
to my childrens sheer delight, Elvis was FOUND.
Hurray! No more tears being shed!
