I have been lurking and commenting for awhile and realized I never introduced my babies.
Spyro is 4 months old and growing like a weed. He is full of energy, very curious, and fearless. He loves to torment my daschund. They have stare downs from Spyro's tank. The other day my daschund decided to take Spyro to the living room for play time. Needless to say I wasn't amused when I seen Buddy, the daschund, carrying Spyro! Thank goodness he didn't hurt my baby. Buddy no longer goes near Spyro after that incident.
Before I got Spyro we got Auzzie. Auzzie was a Christmas gift for my 15 year old son. She was sick from the day we got her. I took her to the vet weekly just to make sure she was doing okay. In February, I noticed that she wasn't gaining weight or growing. After another vet visit I find out she has pinworms. She finished the panacur, but still wasn't growing and started losing weight. From there I started feeding her baby food and critical care. She started being more alert and eating a little on her own. On March 11, the vet weighed her and she had gained 2g that week. We were impressed. On the 17th, she started wobbling when she walked. She didn't want to open her eyes and acted lethargic. This was about 6 pm. The next morning I get up and she has crawled up to her stuffed animal. Her breathing was very shallow and it looked like only one lung was functioning. Overnight she looked as if she lost 10g. I immediately wrapped her up and rushed to the vet. She passed away on the way there. I still question myself wondering what I did wrong. Looking back I realized that she was never well and I did everything possible to help her become a healthy, happy beardie.
On March 23, I made the mistake of going to Petco for my dogs some treats. Of course, my son makes a beeline for the beardies. The manager comes by and tells me they just got some new babies in and asked if I wanted to see them. It's bad when they know you in stores. When I go to the back and I am floored at how teeny these babies were. My eyes were drawn to my Ember. She was 4 1/2 in long and weighed 6.9g. I wasn't leaving without her. I have had her for 2 weeks now and tonight she decided to snuggle in my hair and go to sleep. This made my night.
Now I have a Bassett Hound, a daschund, a shih-tzu, two fish, and my two babies!
This is Spyro fighting the wolf. I think he won.
He really wanted to see Ember. I haven't allowed them together.
Please mom!
Will upload Ember's pictures in a few.
I also just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this site. I have learned so much about beardies from reading the posts.

I just wish that Ember wouldn't act so scared of Spyro. She can see him from certain areas in her tank and she is fine. If I have him in the window and her on my chest she will puff her beard and get the crazy eyes. I have no intention of ever having them out together since this is her reaction. Spyro just looks at her like she is nuts and plops down in his spot. 
She is still attached to me and likes to sit on my head or ponytail. Tonight I let her fall asleep in my bed. My Bassett, Izzy, noticed she was in here so she tried to cover her up. :roll:
