Darwin

[BruceLarryOzzie]

Oh my goodness, he is adorable!

 

[CooperDragon]

He is now passed out on my chest. Poor guy wore himself out.

 

[SpacialCoogs]

Sounds like a hard life...

Mine is sleeping

It's so nice to hear that he's gotten his energy back. Must be fun to watch him do his rounds and rounds :mrgreen:

 

[KatieDyd1]

Oh my goodness, he is nothing but skin and bones. That poor baby! Take good care of that little man!

 

[CooperDragon]

No worries. He's a big fat dude now. He's gained almost 200g since I got him and is a little ball of energy!

 

[CooperDragon]

He's still bouncing off the walls for most of the day. Up early, scratching at the door to get going for breakfast. Just does laps around the house all day and surfs the walls of the living room. I'd love to put a pedometer on him. He's dropped a bit of weight with the constant exercise so I may temporarily bump his bug offerings to make sure he has enough fuel for his training. He completely loses it even if I try to put him in his tank for 20 min during the day. Still worried about his health though. Need to go to the vet soon for ADV testing and blood work. I'm extra concerned about ADV now after reading about poor Emmett today =(. One step at a time I guess. He'll get as many adventures as I can give him no matter what.

Aww. It's hard when you read about other dragons that weren't as fortunate or had problems. I've cried a couple times because of the forum.

I'm glad Darwin is doing well. Have you sent in some pics to the calendar? We could also use some here so we can appreciate him.

 

[BruceLarryOzzie]

Yes. I agree! We need to see more Darwin pics

 

[CooperDragon]

I submitted a couple for this years calendar. October for this year has my boys Coop and Dundee! It's a skewed calendar that starts in Feb so it may not be the same for everyone but it made me happy.

Here's one of him looking out the window yesterday.

There are certainly some rough days. Today was one of them. I'm a bit broken up hearing about Emmett. Some days are worse than others. Just need to keep doing as much good as possible to help as many dragons as we can. Seeing one rebound from a rough situation makes it worthwhile.

 

[BruceLarryOzzie]

He looks so happy!

 

[CooperDragon]

He's a pretty content little fireball for the moment. Bonus live shot of him passed out in his tank after a big workout today. Unusual for him not to be sleeping under his log or bridge but he just kind of dropped off quickly at the end of the day and was dead to the world. Ready to go by 6:30 tomorrow morning I'm sure.

 

[sweetiepie9]

It was a great shock to hear about Emmett, breaks my heart. I'm glad Darwin is doing so well, so much energy! Three of mine are asleep, Imp wants to brumate but won't let him more than a day or two as he loses weight very quickly and he's only a year old. Don't want him to get sick, either. Gabriel is still with me, but his belly gets bigger as the aneurysm in his belly gets bigger, but so far so good.

That's one great picture of him. Haven't had a minute for the calendar, but think will have to miss it this year.

 

[Goonie]

Darwin looked so cute passed out in front of his log!

It's great that he still has so much energy and always wants to be on the move!

I'll be praying that his ADV test comes back negative.
