Hahaj omg completely loved this read hahahah you made my morning lolOMG I was so excited to come as I had some news to share, and I went to the uploads for the competition for the first time and I'm so glad that we can't vote yet. @xp29 I clicked on your photo first LOL- no favoritism, it looks like a gallery so I couldn't tell who submitted it. How cute is that picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are so many beautiful pictures! Creativity and handmade outfits at an all time high!
Well, everyone knows I have a story with Rocky so I will just stay here as it's safer.
So as we all know, Rocky was sleeping. I asked him- yes, I asked him "Do you want to go with me?" See, if I put the carrier in front of the enclosure and he doesn't blink at me, it's all good.
I gave Rocky plenty of time so we didn't have to rush. A blanket and car heat to match the enclosure temp (it's only a 10 minute drive but it was freezing outside). I pulled the car to the door as close as I could from the house and to the store and made a dash for it.
I had a blanket to block the 2 seconds of wind so of course people assumed that I had a cat - I left Rocky inside of the carrier as I got him dressed with unruly pets all around me.* Rocky remained unphased (that's MY BOY)! Still unsure if he was going to cooperate, I had to decide between the hot cocoa chill outfit with the cricket (that I see was entered into the contest- great choice) or the Santa suit?
Well, Santa it is.... as it is his first year seeing Santa.
I pull Rocky out- his cuteness and element of surprise as he was a beardie got the place going wild. I smiled so big, I can't lie. Well until this guy says, "Do you have snakes too?" as he looks in the carrier. Yes sir, I carry snakes with my beardies!
Rocky was happy (yet probably thinking, here we go again!)
Notice his happiness glow!
And Santa was excited. He began making jokes like- I want to get him close but not near the beard (ha ha)- whatever (ho ho)-
Rocky didn't want to let go of me to get to Santa but I said, "Please give him a moment, he's a lil spoiled."
I said, "Rocky, it's fine, I am right here" - gave him a hug and handed him off. I have no shame right. You hear the awwwwwwwwwws behind me.
So the result is what you see- then Santa says, 'Rocky matches me"- I said, I know so turn him around.
*Now I understand why Santa awarded Rocky the best behaved pet!
We then exit- no autographs this time. Rocky is hidden and dashes out.I had Rocky home within 20 minutes total. No guilt. Rocky went right to sleep after so many hugs -
I had a feeling because he declined my reward of treats.
This was the best day for so many reasons.
Umm, did I mention? I had a fear of Santa since youth?!I obviously will do anything for Rocky.
@beardie I hope I didn't screw up this thread. You know my excitement takes over.
Well, Santa it is.... as it is his first year seeing Santa.
I was sitting this out. Did you SEE the competition? I am just happy to be a part of this family and share my story! As I am not creative, I am going to get a professional photographer, backdrop and props in motionJust remember to upload your chosen submission image to the Media Category. Attaching them here does not submit them for the competition.
Cuteness overload! I can’t put an entry for this one cuz I’m busy this time of the year, but I love seeing everyone’s beardie photoOMG I was so excited to come as I had some news to share, and I went to the uploads for the competition for the first time and I'm so glad that we can't vote yet.
Ruby as the abominable snowman lolBoth Devlyn and Quetzal are sleeping, but Quetzal can't quite figure it out. I may have to put him in his cave and tell him to play abominable snowman. Devlyn is the Scrooge, no Xmas ever
