I'm sure thats how it must have looked.......


It never crossed my mind that you were trying to be cute. I assumed

you
did attach a picture. Since this group isn't for pictures, you

shouldn't
do that.


I sent the picture to others and
apparently its a horny toad. I have never seen one before and this

thing has a
small tail . Kinda looks like a broad bodied lizard. Weird looking ,

to me.

Oh, I could have made an ID on that even though I haven't seen one in
over 40 years. When I was a little kid (I remember having my 5th
birthday there) I lived in Texas for over a year while my dad

completed
pilot training for the air force. I still remember catching those

things
with the other kids in the neighborhood. They are unique little

lizards.
We called them horny toads too, but the books call them horned toads.

Yosemite Sam calls them horny toads -- as in "Great horny toads! Say
your prayers, you long-eared varmint!"
