Not much growing left for him to do 🙂 Both your boys look fantastic


Do you remember when I wonder if he would ever grow?

Part of me is getting sad they are getting older. I want to freeze time and keep them with me forever.

My parents said they better die first before Rocky and Ruby because they can't bear think of the day that I lose them. Me either.


That'll be the day I disappeared from this site.

I just have Rocky the biggest yet gentle hug before bed. His beard turns yellow and it warms my heart.

I and him if he wanted to go to bed, no blink which means he's than I took him to the enclosure. He went right to bed.

I love him so. When he breathes I'm like, "Your breaths are so special " lol

He knows he has me wrapped around his finger... I'm surprised he even walks.

No no no! Dont ever leave us! I hope your boys both live 15 yrs or more! But if ever they do pass after a good long life, its someone like you that could give a beardie a good life and a second chance. You are the best beardie Mama and have the biggest heart. You deserve a beardie more than a lot other folks!

A walk down memory lane....when Rocky went into brumation. I thought the world was ending. I sat at the enclosure and cried for hours. I remember him looking at me like MOM I HAVE TO GO. I tried to fight mother nature, ugh it was horrible.
I couldn't work, I shut people out...because at the time he couldn't talk (lol) it hurt so bad. He left me for months. Then one day he popped back up like he forgot he left me. I cried again and he judged me.

You'll see plenty of my tears across this website. The crazy thing is nothing was a real issue. I read about REAL ISSUES and remind myself to shut up and be grateful.

Remember this is someone who protects her beardies from all elements of the Earth but one puff up and I remember they are animals. Well, Ruby reminds me every day as he destroys anything that he looks at.

But Rocky....he's a calm, cool beardie that smiles at the sun and glows at me. He manipulates me daily. I could accidentally drop Rocky (he never hit the ground) but he could care less. He trusts me. Dogs can bark, Ruby can bob, humans can hold him...nothing phases him. He knows he's safe with me. It's in these moments, I feel proud.

As someone who was terrified of him, we've come a long way. I owe my growth to him -and this site and specifically @xp29 -because he's patient as I figure things out. I just mentioned nail clipping. The first attempt was at least an hour and he simply judged me....he never left me lol I spritz his face at first thinking I was properly hydrating him, he just rolled his eyes. Til this very day, I feel horrible.

Ok I'm rambling, but last one. When I'm working and he jumps out of the window to find me in the next room...he then rests on my feet...Ruby would never! Ruby would bite my toe but it would be out of love. #beingpositive


Wait, where was I going with all of this? Oh, I couldn't take it. If I got more, I'd probably not stop, sadly I'd compare each one to Rocky and we see what happened with Ruby. #catfish
