Spoiled Dragon

The last couple days my beardie will only eat if i feed him by hand. Whats up with that? I think he may be spoiled or is he just not hungry enough to eat on his own? :headbang:

LOL Thats hilarious Tracey. :headbang:

It's true! Well, it was...now I have to pick them up by the antennas and dangle them in front of her too, (after they do the dance and if they don't jump in her mouth of course). Has to be the antenna. A leg won't work for her. Her little belly is growing so fast I don't think she can bend her little princess self down to get them. No, she just doesn't want to....after all, isn't that my purpose?? I have to be good for something. :roll:

Oh, another story.... She was acting weird today, she is getting ready to shed and being a lunatic. First she did the eye bulge thing which had me PMing Tracie, now today she pretended she was knocking on death's door and using only her front legs, she every so slowly made her way up the huge mountain that is her log (its about 3 inches high). We're talking she would pull herself up once and take a break. She got to the top and plopped herself down, head and all. Eyes were barely half open. Now anyone who knows me on here knows how this is going to go. I FREAKED OUT. I called my daughter about 3 times in 30 seconds and when she finally answered I told her I think Zoey is dying. The kid knows to just humor me. Since I am home all day, every day, I have nothing to do but stare at this little girl. She likes to mess with me apparently and I seem to be the only one who doesn't know. Anyway, I figured I better get her outside for some real sun NOW. So...I take her outside, put down on a comforter while I am holding her, one small step away from tears. I figured since we had a bad experience before (i am too ashamed to tell that one again), I better find a way to hold onto her...you know, just incase she decided to come back to life. So I go in the house, sit her down next to my husband on the couch (he really thinks I should be committed for babying "a lizard"). He just sits there, rolling his eyes, shaking his head, and finally says, "WHY are you doing that??" as I try to put a very thin, elastic head band around her. I was making a little harness of course. DUH! Anyway, she just sits there and lets me mess around...now don't forget she is "near death". I just ended up tying the thing around her right behind the arms. So I go out on the deck and put her on my chest. Well, first she turns around so I can get a birds eye view and poops on me. Nice. So we go in the house, I change and we come back out. Now this little thing who is sooooo sick decides life is worth living after all. She decided to TAKE OFF. Thank GOD I had ahold of her "leash" (hair tie). She runs across the deck as far as the elastic can go, kind of bounces back just a little bit, which puts her directly in front of our 95# Lab (who, lucky for her is nice!!). She panicked and instead of trying to run even harder, THROWS herself at me. LOL Now at this point I'm not sure if I should laugh, cry, scream, laugh....needless to say, she is fine now. She is going to give me a heart attack. Or panic attack. Maybe both.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: LOL!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I am laughing so hard!

I'll read that blog everyday. You write lizard stories just as funny as mine! Maybe funnier. I like the thread format better then blog, personally.

Well good, I'm full of useless stories, just tired at the moment. lol But I do have to say, my little darling survived the day (although shaved a few years off of my life) and is now cuddled under her blankie, a hoodie and a coat sounds asleep. I zip up my hoodie and she thinks I'm holding her when actually I do chores, bend over so she is technically upside down and not even a tensed muscle do I feel. She is lucky she is cute. I'm sure I'll have more stories to tell in the morning when she torments me again....

Oh yes, you know your dragon is spoiled when it torments you. I can't wait to snuggle my Nim tonight! Right after my dinner I'll bring Nim out for the nightly snuggles!
