Lizzie the Lizard

Lizzie is the lizard I got from school and am taking care of this summer. So every once in a while I take her out of her cage and let her run around in my room and then I take her outside sometimes even. When she is outside she never moves around she just sits there and looks around. In the manual Mrs. Kelly gave me it says that it is good to take them outside because of the vitamins that they get from the sun. So the other day I had taken Lizzie outside and we had been out a while so I was just about to take her back inside. Then she started looking around up in the sky. All of a sudden she puffed up. (Lizzie is a Bearded Dragon so if something scares her she will puff up like a frog when they rib-it. I also have some pictures of her when she puffs up.) Then she took off running toward my neighbor’s yard. They have a chain linked fence so I thought she would stop, but no she just kept on running. I started freaking out and knew I would be in big trouble if we couldn't find her. So I ran inside and told my mom. She was on the phone so she quickly told them she had to go and called out Jamie, Chase and his friend Tyler Blume outside and to come help look for Lizzie. We looked and look for about 5 minutes and there was no sign of her. So my mom called us and we took a minute to pray and asked God to help us find her. Then about two minutes later after crawling around on our knees there she is up next to our neighbor's shed. We were so thankful, and I am never taking her outside again that is for sure.
