The noise scared my lizard something frightful!
Everyone was okay and no one was badly injured. Except for a patch of my lilies. But they’re pretty resilient.
Adopt it
I try to leave nature in the wild where it belongs. 🙏
I wish we could reduce the natural habitat of those disgusting creatures
Same. Invasive species. Ick!
I hope you mean the car
I do lol
Glad you and your lizard are safe!
Thank you! We were pretty fortunate this time.
up close and personal like
That’s one little chunky boy.
He puffed up at all the commotion! Gotta look big and scary at the big noise.
Lizard is looking at the camera like you seeing this shit
Bearded dragons absolutely have a knack for stupid reaction faces!
That’s what the trees were for! But yeah, someone managed to dodge all that.
If this was a typical thing, I probably would, but I’m not too worried about repeat instances. I also am fortunate to have a crawlspace under my home, so they’d be hitting the bricks & rebar before they get to my windows.
However, with those larger stupid trucks I often see, neither a boulder nor a brick barrier would matter much.
Once a car jumped the curb and managed to fly over a chain link fence and land in my parents front yard. On flat ground. Had to take the fence apart to get the car out.
I was eating at a restaurant one time with some people from out of town when a car drove past the window. Nobody really seemed to interested when I pointed it out until I also pointed out that there is not a road outside that window. The car had jumped the curb, threaded the needle between a stop sign and fire hydrant, and made it about 80 feet through the park before stopping. The cops were still dealing with the guy when I left the restaurant, he was clearly very inebriated.
Was looking at your post and this crazy incident popped up on my phone: https://apnews.com/article/long-island-minivan-nail-salon-crash-5e9fc211611203204bc37f4a436ca9b7
Well
This makes me extra thankful.
Time to set up some boulders to protect your house from idiots like this
At first I read cat and I spent a few minutes looking for the kitty
I gotchu
Tell your kitty I love him.
He responded with a confused head tilt and licked a cardboard tube.
I apparently don’t speak cat very well, so interpret that how you will.
Meow am cat gib food pls x
I love your cat
Glad your scaly friend is OK!
Am I the only one who sees an alien trapped in your curtains?!
I looked quickly and that’s what the pattern looks like with the way your curtains fall 😅
You okay? How many fingers am I holding up?
12? 😅 lol, it’s literally the first thing I saw
Listen: if the alien can’t manage to get out of some curtains, they were not meant for this world.
I thought it looked like a stealthy power ranger
I didn’t the first time, but I did after reading your comment.
You have to be happy for the little things in life like a car not smashing through your conservatory.
Have you given thanks that your home hasn’t been run into by a car today? 🙏
Bill their insurance for your lilies. Driving is a privilege and drivers should take responsibility for their mistakes while driving.
Considering the damage they did to the other car involved (you can see their trunk popped open behind the wannabe monster truck), I’m sure they’ll be paying in some way or another. They’re certainly not getting away with it without significant consequences!
I just had some grass & a few flowers torn up, so I’m very fortunate. Not looking to weaponize the system against them. Just want the folks who suffered the actual damages to get paid. Hopefully this teaches the distracted driver a valuable lesson!
Everybody is talking about the lizard but what about the dough (clay?) with the lamp directed at it??
That’s a flat rock used for basking! It’s supposed to be a bit more off-center from the heat lamp so that it doesn’t get too hot, but he loves to flatten out/pancake on a warm rock.
Awe :) you’re a good lizard owner. Just look at him looking up at you, like “is it okay to bask right now?”
Your kindness warms my heart. It means a lot to hear it be said. Thank you!
He’s a brave boy, and he got to watch the pretty lights of the police cars as they directed traffic, so he was pretty pleased.
Lizards are cold blooded so they typically warm themselves in the sun on some heated up rocks.
that’s for the lizard? xD
