Forget flies -- if anything lands in my food, it should be a lizard!

When I went out for sushi tonight, a few insidiously persistent fruit flies were driving me nuts. I clapped the first one out of the air, but didn't dare try for the next over my delicious selection of dragon rolls, sashimi, spicy tuna, and the rest. Why, oh why, couldn't the visitors have been lizards like the one above? Then I would've shared.

The above image is one of the Top Shots over at National Geographic. It seems that Bonnie Marsh was in Hawaii for a vacation when this cutie ran down the wall of the restaurant, licked her plate, and scooted. Talk about capturing the perfect moment!

If this happened to me, I'd gladly let the little thing get some nibbles, but what about you? Are there any animals that you'd share your tasty treats with?

Do my dogs count? And does it count if they *steal*?

See, I would have missed that cute shot because I'd have been going in the other direction.

I used to live with a ferret that was obsessive about french fries. Like scale a wall, leap across curtain rods and climb down the face of cabinets to steal french fries off a counter.

I became safer to just give her one....
