As he would walk along the main road north of us, he would place a small rock on top of a large flat rock. As soon as that rock was full of small rocks, he added another large rock alongside it and filled the top with small ones...one a day.
One day we found the rock you see that looks like the snout of a lizard, and hence the inspiration to create a creature.
It did not take long before he had legs and a long tail.
Meanwhile, the areas north of the Mission Home were being developed into housing and we worried that the lizard would be destroyed in the process.
So, one day we had Elders help haul the rocks back to the mission home in boxes.
They could not resist placing name badges on top for a photo!
The legacy lives on in the Arizona Phoenix Mission. We hope the new family love him as well!

I think it's funny that you relocated the lizard, but I can see how you'd get attached. Cute!
