Thank you all for the outpour of support.

It seems like each time I come on here lately, I have the same thing to report; Seizures, minor injuries and just a lot of bed rest... I don't know what's causing these to happen, but they usually happen in the morning, only a couple minutes after waking up.

Been taking care of LG as properly as I know how, though I confess: We probably don't go outside as often as she would like... Lately I just don't have any energy, emotional or physical. I feel so drained that I am starting to lose track of all the things I used to be able to juggle in my life.

Well, I have to leave the house in a half hour so I better get in the shower. :|

Will upload some pics of LG enjoying those big juicy crickets that were sent. Thank you all for your continuing patience... :wink:

Sorry for my very late reply; I have been having health problems lately so I haven't been on the computer all that much.

Absolutely, feel free to use the Youtube vid. The more people who see what could happen the better. Knowledge is power. :wink:


As for an update, sorry again for the long periods I go without posting... Depression is a bummer(lol, get it?)... Been having a hard time finding any pleasure in life, for the last year or two really. When a couple people died in 2010, I lost the only people in my family who weren't completely consumed by alcohol and rage. What I am left with is a shell of the life I once had.


Wow. Enough bummerness... LG is alive and kicking. Actually, I took her out a day ago and while I was sitting there(maybe 6 or 7 feet away from her), a dang hawk swooped down across my back yard and tried to get her! :shock:

I'm constantly on the lookout for predators, so as soon as I saw the motion I jumped up and ran toward LG; The hawk was definitely quicker, but because I was so close it apparently didn't have enough time to drop all the way down to the ground and grab her... Scary stuff, I don't think she fully realized what happened, but I'll tell you my heart was going for awhile. Still can't believe that almost happened;

I will definitely be more careful outside now, will stay close enough that a bird wouldn't try anything(although I thought I was, to be honest)...

She is doing good, I am still feeding her those crickets that were donated(thanks again so much), She is also getting greens and some carrot too. She seems to be happy and healthy, though I'm no vet...

Pics to come. ever since I lost all my pictures it just hasn't been the same... I used to take pictures every other day, and now I might do it once a week if at all. Just really took the wind out of my sails when tens of thousands of images were wiped: Just like flipping a switch...

Will seriously try to get the camera off the shelf and start using it again. :|

It is wonderful to hear from you, Jason! Good to hear that LG is doing well. I'm so sorry you lost your pictures.You still have LG and a camera, though. While you can't replace what was lost, you can sure start building up Miss LG's portfolio again. What pretty girl doesn't like having her picture taken?

Great job scaring off the hawk!
Esther

wow jason this is wonderful. keep doing the great stuff!

No worries - if your supplies start running low, let me know. My beardie budget is pretty healthy at the moment, and I'm more than happy to share the goodies

I also recommend getting a Picasa album - it's free, cloudbased pic storage. Mine automatically linked up to Google+, so I can both share them and store pics by uploading them to G+ from my mobile too

Remember, no matter how bad it gets, this is only temporary. At the moment, even getting up is hard work (literally, if you're seizing out in the morning ) but keep at it - you'll work through it, I promise. Whilst I've been fortunate enough not to have fits, I unfortunately can totally appreciate where you're coming from - I had an absolutely terrible two years and have finally got to the end of the long, dark tunnel. If you want to discuss anything with me, I'm more than happy to talk and listen, and am the soul of discretion.

I promise, this doesn't last forever. Give LG a hug from me too. I'm off to annoy some of my guys by fishing them out for cuddles!

[jscott]

It's been a long day, but I wanted to post these pictures before I lost all of my energy and motivation;

Here we are killing two birds with one stone, feeding and enjoying outside time:

More to come. :wink:

 

[Zeusmybeardie]

Wow lg looks good

 

[beardie parents]

Awww, she looks sooo good.

These stories make me so sad. I find it very hard to understand why/how some people can be so cruel. At least there are people like OP with a heart and a conscience out there too. LG is just the cutest thing.
