Out of Town, Missing Beardies

I think maybe we don't realize how attached to our beardies we've gotten until it's far, far too late. I'm out of town and besides bothering my husband over the phone about their temperatures (we don't have central air and the house has been getting into the 90's with the heat wave in our part of Arizona) I just miss the the spiny little beasties.

I've got pictures of them as the home and lock screens on my phone, so I can look at them whenever I want.

I just feel like an achy old woman when I think about them (and I'm only pushing thirty). It's an obsession--I should probably seek psychiatric help. I can remember what they feel like sitting on my chest and everything. Am I losing it?

You aren't losing it. I'm the same way and so are a lot of folks on here. I set up a webcam so I can check in while I'm away and it helps a little. I still hate going away though, even just for the weekend. I have a dragon on my lock screen (Dundee), background(Dundee), and all around the case of my phone (Coop) =).

I know how you feel. Only been a beardie mom for a few months and we went camping for Memorial weekend. I thought about Mordecai all weekend. Did he miss me,was he eating were his temps right. I was a mess. As soon as we got home I went and got him from my cousin who was taking care of him. I was holding him and he just kept looking up at me like "I remember you. You came back for me" I will be taking him with us when we go on vacation in July

I am so relieved to hear you say these things. Now I just miss them instead of worrying about missing them and missing them both. I like that I'm not the only one who's got them on the phone. And that I'm not the only one who worries about everything being okay while I'm gone. Thanks so much for the encouragement.
