Her name is Lilo

The new Dragon's name is Lilo. She is settling in very well. Puff and Lilo have seen each other now but only through the glass of the tank. They have totally ignored each other. Each refuses to acknowledge the other. Some time in the future,I will introduce them face to face in a controlled situation and on neutral ground. She is eating well. Tonight she ate 7 crickets and she loved the baby food peas. Puff is starting to slow down on eating. He is also starting to sleep more now.He is still active in the morning though.I bought a T shirt at the Reptile show that has 2 Bearded Dragons on it. They are both orange,just like my 2 Dragons. I love my Dragons!!! I guess I will have to change the name of this blog to the Golden Dragons because now there are 2 of them. to be continued...........

Puff's girl friend has arrived and WOW !!!!!

On Monday,Carla took me up to the vets office to pick up the female Bearded Dragon that Dr. Jarchow gave me. WOW, is she gorgeous! She is Orange like Puff but she is darker than he is. She is a little smaller than Puff is also. There is some discrepancy as to what her name is, so until I find out for sure, she will just be known as "Pretty Girl". She is also a special needs dragon.I have been filled in on what to look for if she should have any more medical problems.She will have frequent vet checks just as Puff does, as she is 8 years old. I wonder what Puff will think of her when I introduce them to each other? I will let her settle in first. I have discovered that she does not like Bok Choy or summer squash,but she sure did like the crickets and the baby food apple sauce. I will have to go shopping tomorrow to get some thing that she likes. I will try to get some pictures as soon as I can.I now have 2 Dragons! Puff the Golden Dragon,to be continued............

The Reptile show was great !

I went to the Reptile show on Saturday and it was great. I saw lots of Beardies,mostly hatchlings but a few juveniles and some adults.I saw some beautiful color morphs. I saw a Sail Fin Dragon and several Frilled Dragons. Some day I would really like to have a Frilled Dragon.I used my guide dog Shaman this time. He was very distracted,but not by the animals. It was like he was looking for some one. He has never been like this before. After a few hours at the show, he seemed to settle down and did much better.Last year I did not use my dog,just used my white cane.I saw another Asian Green,red tailed Rat snake,like the one I used to have. I saw many beautiful snakes and lizards. Tegus,various types of Iguanas, Monitors, Geckos,Uromastics and many others. I took lots of business cards. Some time in the future, I will get more Bearded Dragons and possibly a Frilled Dragon.Yes, some time in the future...... I still think that Puff will always be my favorite Dragon. After all, he is my first and he is very special and very Precious to me. That being said, I am still looking forward to getting Puff's girl friend. Puff the Golden Dragon,to be continued............

I got offered a girl friend for Puff

Puff's vet appointment went well. His blood work is good and he is in good health and good shape for his age.Dr. Jarchow said I was taking great care of Puff and he offered me a female that is older,like 8years old. She belonged to some one who asked Dr. Jarchow to find her a good home. If I can find a tank for her, not too expensive, I may take her. She is the same color as Puff. I hope I can find a tank soon!

I got injured and ended up in the Hospital

I injured my leg and it got an infection in it. I ended up in the Hospital and Carla and Johnny had to take care of all the animals. The first night Puff did eat for Johnny but the second night he would not eat. I came home and he did eat for me.Of course, Johnny and Carla did not sing to him. I can always get him to eat for me if I sing to him. I think he really did miss me as he got so excited when he saw me. I hope I never have to go through that again. I really worry about all my animals when I am not there to take care of them. I know that Carla and Johnny are capable of caring for them but I miss them and they miss me.Puff the Golden Dragon,to be continued.................

The Reptile show is next weekend

I will be going to the reptile show this year again. I really enjoyed it last year.I can't wait to see the Bearded Dragons and all the other reptiles and amphibians.Puff is going to the vet for his check up on next Tuesday.He is already going into Brumation. He is not as active as he has been all summer. He is sleeping more now but he is still eating every day and he is eating a lot. He seems to be very healthy,but I want to make sure as he is elderly for a Bearded Dragon. I have checked all over the internet and there is no care information for elderly Beardies. I guess I will just keep feeding the way I am as it seems to be keeping Puff healthy. Puff's Birthday is coming up next month. I will have had him for 2 years come October 8th.I hope it will be many more years as I really love him so much.Puff the Golden Dragon, to be continued..............
