Pictures coming soon

I do have some new pictures and will post them as soon as I have time.Check back on Feb,19 to see the pictures as that is where I put them.

Long time no post !

I have not posted in some time as I have been very busy. Puff is doing well. He is usually awake by 8:00 am. He is eating well and has been active most mornings. About noon, he usually takes a nap. He wakes in time for feeding.I think his eye sight is getting worse as when he ties to get the crickets,he misses them. I have been placing the food in the side of his mouth and he eats much more easily.This takes longer but at least he is eating well.I have been taking him for sun walks as he really enjoys this.I have been bathing him more often as the vet said he will absorb water through his skin.I do give him water with the pipette,but he does not always swallow it.He really needs to drink more water.I have taken him to Petsmart and Petco several times now. People seem to think he is not real as they approach me and ask"is that alive?" He just sits on my shoulder and chills out. I think Puff enjoys these outings. Next month,Petco is having a Reptile Rally. There will be a Bearded Dragon meet and greet and a reptile beauty contest among other events. I am going to take Puff. I would enjoy meeting other Beardie keepers.I am not sure that Puff would enjoy meeting other Beardies but we shall see.Any way it sounds like fun.

Puff enjoys opera singing !

It has been so warm that I have been taking Puff out for sun walks. He greatly enjoys this. He has been eating well and is becoming more active now that the weather has changed.I have been singing to Puff a lot and he really enjoys this also.If he is sleeping and I want to wake him, all I have to do is sing to him. He will open his eyes and look up at me.Some times he will come up to the glass side of his tank and try to climb up to me. I just put my hand in and he climbs right up on my hand.I have discovered that Puff likes opera singing.The other day, there was a woman on the TV singing opera and Puff looked up and went to the corner of his tank , by the waterfall and climbed up to watch and listen to the woman who was singing. When she stopped singing,Puff climbed down and went over to his basking log,climbed up on it and went to sleep.Singing seems excite him as his breaths are more visible,he looks up and looks around for the source of the singing. He is so cute!!!! Puff the Golden Dragon,to be continued.............

Puff is amazingly cute !

Yesterday,as I passed Puff's tank,I saw him standing straight up on his hind legs with his front feet on the glass. He was watching me as I would go back and forth in front of his tank.His head would move in whatever direction I was moving. I just couldn't hold back a chuckle. He looked so cute.He stayed that way for about 15 minutes.Only when I got his dinner ready did he get down on all fours and come over to me to be fed. I got him to eat some Bokchoy and he ate 3 crickets.I had let him out earlier on my bed to explore,but he really did not move around to much. Instead he climbed up on me and went to sleep while I was watching TV.
Carla came and took pictures of Puff on Valentine's Day. I had his tank decorated and it was real cute.Puff is such a sweet dragon.I just love him. Puff The Golden Dragon,to be continued...................

Puff is doing better

Puff is eating and pooping regularly now.I have discovered that he likes acorn squash.He is still a pretty picky eater.I finally got the batteries for the vibrating dish, so he has been eating a lot of peas.He has been playing with the Christmas ball. He head butts it and watches it swing back and forth. He has also been in the waterfall, but he doesn't stay in the water long as it is too cold.He prefers to have his bath in his tub with warm water.Yesterday,I saw Puff sitting with his arm around the egg and it was so cute! I really wish I had a camera.That would have made a wonderful picture.It was warm enough today to take Puff for a sun walk. He really enjoyed that.He is shedding the skin on his back again.He has been very active today and yesterday,climbing up on his log and leaping off.I have been singing a new song to him."Where have all the flowers gone",an old folk song and he seems to really enjoy that song. It is also one of my favorites.I used to sing it when I played my guitar many years ago.Well it is time to shut off Puff's lights so he can go to sleep.

I lost some of my blog posts

I noticed that I have lost some of my blog posts when Nick transferred every thing from the old computer to the new one. I hope I will be able to recover them.I discovered that the posts were lost due to a google "hiccup". They are lost forever.

I got Puff to eat some bokchoy and carrot

I got Puff to eat some bokchoy and some carrot. I had to stick it in the side of his mouth and he did eat it. He hates it when I do this but he will not eat this stuff with out my doing this. I also hate doing that to him.I feel like I am torturing him. I just can't get him to eat greens any other way except peas. He will eat the peas from his vibrating dish but not the bokchoy or carrots or any other green things. I have stopped giving him the melon that he loves as this was giving him an elevated potassium level.He has eaten some sweet potato and some squash on his own but those are not GREENS.Maybe he does not like the color green???He has still not pooped.....He is eating crickets and yesterday he ate 4 of them. Today he has slept all day so I guess he is not going to eat today.I got him to actually drink water yesterday when he was soaking in his bath.I found the pipette undamaged and washed it and put it away where the cats can't get it this time.The weather is cooler today so I guess that is why Puff has slept all day. He did move into a different position but has shown no interest in waking up. I miss him when he sleeps the days away during the winter. I guess I will just have to wait until Spring for him to become active again.I finally got around to hanging the Christmas ball in his tank,but again it may be Spring before he discovers it.He has also shown no interest in his waterfall.He has not discovered the "Dragon egg"that Nick gave him for Christmas either.I hope I don't have to wait till Spring for him to poop!It has been 21 days since he had the first enema and that was the last time he pooped.I don't remember him not pooping for so long last winter. I know the blood test that the vet did said he was healthy,but I still worry about him....... Puff the Golden Dragon, to be continued....................
