Haley, that was so sweet! I'll wait till after Katherine's soccer game in the morning before I let her read it. She plays at 9AM! :shock: I don't want her crying before the game. Thank ya luv.

The night time temps are rising a bit, maybe he'll warm up enough to come home. I hope and pray. Thank you all for caring.

Thanks for the compliments on the story. That took like 45 minutes! :shock: lol

Wow! I am catching up on the forums here, and I hoped Bogie was back, but maybe he has tunneled in somewhere and will be back out when the ground warms. I loved Haley's story, (if this is how you write at twelve, I want to read your books when you are twenty-four!) and Sandy, pneumonia is no joke, take good care of yourself, and don't try to rush back into your schedule, it will slap you hard if you have not fully recovered. I've learned by experience when my son was a baby. :roll:
Something happened here about an hour ago, and maybe it will help bring Bogie home. I have kept crickets in a ten gallon aquarium with a fine mesh screen top. I brought it with me yesterday as I packed the remaining dragons and live feeders out of Hayward. I did not want to bring the crickets or superworms into my friends home because of the smell, so we found a spot in an open air shed, completely out of the sun. This afternoon, while working in the back yard, I heard one of my friends calling me. "Did one of your dragons get out by any chance? There is an 8" lizard that just ran under the lawn mower, and the locals are smaller than that." I went to my room, and everyone was in their tank, and the smallest here is about 10 inches long. I went out side to see. My cricket tank is sitting on uneven ground, just behind the lawn mower. In the space under the cricket tank a little alligator lizard, about 8 inches long, was trying to get the crickets it clearly saw thru the glass bottom of the tank, but just could not reach! It was wonderfully persistent in it's attempt to get those luscious, lovely bites of dinner, trying to bite them, but, with a puzzled look, asked "Why can't I reach these silly bugs?!?" :laughhard: As the weather warms up, a cricket tank with 40-50 crix might be a great attraction to help a hungry little beardie find his way home!

It might work, but I doubt it. Bogie had started refusing crix before brumation. He was into supers and salad. Even so, while searching for him I have encountered hundreds of crickets in the buishes, grass and under the porch. ( I know what those spiders were eating.) As for his salad my yard is half clover(his favorite) and the other half dandilion and crabgrass. Can you say YUM, YUM? He is going to have to get lonely.
If you liked Haley's story, check out Katherine's in Dragon School. The second to last page has the Adventures of Bogart the Great. It's a story she is working on for school. She hopes to publish it as a series. She's 8! If she and Haley get together, the adult writers out there better watch out!
As for my health, DH is down now so Mama's gotta get back into the routine. I'm much better so things should go well. I hope. Thanks for caring.

I've been praying every day for Bogie to come back safe and sound. Don't give up on him! I've read of dragons going missing outside for months before turning up, looking for a snack and a cuddle.

 

[beardlover]

Still no Bogie?

I do hope you are feeling better Sandy, and don't give up hope, you will find him...

I think in this case it is best to just stop looking but not give up. I mean I have had animals I thought dead show up long after the fact. But you don't want to mess with phenomnia I know that by experience. I know it's spelled wrong I just cant spell it.

I once had that ignored it and it ended up much worse to the point I ended up being rushed to the hospital barely able to breath and was in the hospital for a month. Keep in mind I am a bit imminal compromised (I know I spelled that wrong too) a bit but still it was not pleasant. Even though it is hard to do you should concentrate on getting better since you are not much help to you're pet or anyone else if you get really ill.

Though I am one to talk I no matter how sick will take care of my pets. I once with the stomach flu was still taking care of my pets while carrying a bucket to puke in I wish I was joking but it's true. Also I apologize in advance for some of the bad spelling my spelling sucks what can I say.

 

[beardlover]

ghr15 Don't worry about your spelling! I'm in the same boat...they even made me take a special course in college. (wow that sounds bad! hahaha)

 

[irwin'smom]

WOW, I just read the entire post. I am sorry to hear Bogie is gone. I hope he finds his way home soon. I have babies hatching soon and if by the time they are ready to go and Bogie is not back then send me a pm and I will send one of these babies to you for you and your kids. Sorry to hear such a loved dragon is missing. He might have been kicked into brumation and sleep a few months. Good luck and glad you are feeling better.

PS please do not hesitate to send me a pm because I might forget to check posts. I get so busy a lot of time goes by before I can really sit and read this site. I use to be a junky and lived on here.

same here en004 its horrible!

 

[protiemama]

Bogie is stil missing. Yes, I think he is brumating. It is getting steadily warmer, so he should wake soon.

Thanks fo the wonderful offer of a baby dragon. We have a lovely little one waiting. We just have to scrape up the shipping. Wow, it costs to ship our babies!

As for spelling, I'm dislexic, I don't judge anyone by their spelling!

How could anyone have a problem with a person's spelling. It's what you say, not how you say it, that is important. My son is 25 & still struggles with writing. But he always can get across what he means.

I'm not dislexic but I have a problem spelling and I've always have. I am praying for bogie's return also. I remember reading about one beardie that disappeared while his owners were on vacation, their pet sitter had him outside and he got lost. When they got back from their vacation they found out that their dragon was gone. One month later he came back.

I am so sorry about Bogie! Sorry, I haven't been on the forums for a while. I hope he turns up soon! I'm praying for you!

Good luck,
Erin
