I'm sure everyone else has probably already noticed this, but seriously...I love to read, to I let him run around on my bed while I just kind of sit back and do my own thing. He's running around back and forth for a good twenty minutes between my lap and one of his favorite stuffed animals. An occasional pet here and there, and of course the "beardie voice", is this enough...No of course not...He persists to shimmy up my arm and just sit on my book...or jump on it if he is feeling particularly lazy that day. He will just sit there and look around from his vantage point. Nothing will do unless I precede to put my book down and watch him run around.
If I happen to be reading while he is in his cage...well he likes to give off a little display. He precedes to puff his beard and body out to its fullest extent. Me being the gullible sucker every time, immediately runs over to grab him to make sure something hasn't scared him... :whip:
Oh and then there is...the pout. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about...they just sit there in the cage and look as pathetic as possible. Mine seems to have mastered this very well...with the head down...almost wistful look...Of course I have to take the poor thing out...and so does my mother when I'm not home. She grabs one of my shirts and does the beardie burrito and goes downstairs to watch tv till he falls asleep. This coming from the woman 10 months ago saying that he would never be allowed in the house... :roll: ...So much for that plan.
This has nothing to do with him being an attention whore but I though it was somewhat amusing so I thought I'd share. My parents recently discovered bath time... :roll: ...Now every time they hear the water running they come upstairs and insist on watching him swim...He's not used to intruders on bath time so he will just sit in the water. So now even if I happen to have the door locked mom comes around with the key and will just watch him with me. :lol:
They even play with him. Heh heh...I have more then one incriminating video of my mom and lizard... :lol: :lol:
Oh it's certainly a household take over here...

My buddy likes to be left alone (getting over mild aggression, but I'm sure he'll be a snugglebuddy soon), but he still demands all the attention! The day after I adopted him, I get home and he pooed all over his cage. I was pretty mad. Then I saw his face. He was glaring at me--literally, glaring--as if he was saying "it's about time you came to clean this up!" I also get the Beardie Death Glare when I get home from orchestra, because that means I'm not home to feed him until 7 or 8:00.
