Last night Tony came home after a farewell party for our friends, to wake me up in a very odd way.  “I found a creature and he needs us to take care of him.  Can we keep him?”  Yes, its like having a little kid in the house.  I, half asleep, was a little concerned.  “Here,”  Tony said, “stay there and I will bring him to you.”  Before I could say a word he was bringing a box into the bedroom to show me his new friend.  This got me up and out of bed quickly.  He’s so lucky I’m an animal lover.  I peered into the Busch Light box (nice, eh?) and saw a fairly large salamander!  I was a bit surprised, but after some convincing I helped to set up a temporary home for the little guy.  A rubber tote, some dirt and a water bowl.  Back to bed.

Meet Gilligan:

Tony is on his way to the pet store today to find out if we can keep him, and how we would go about doing that.  I think he really wants to be able to keep the little guy (just like a kid, huh? 🙂
