Stripes...

This is Stripes. He's Sophie's gecko. I've been looking after him too. Not sure he loves me as much as Charlie does though. I fully expected Nicki, Chris and the kids to return from their skiing holiday and then I'd be completely ignored by Charlie. Not the case. At all. He's my shadow and has pretty much ignored everyone else. It's quite the most bizarre thing. I really love him and it seems he really loves me too. When they go to bed, he stays up with me. He's slept with me every night and in the mornings he waits for me to get my coffee and take him outside to play. Still ignoring his actual family. If I were Chris I'd be seriously miffed! Ha!
