A new adventure... but not for us!

Well, as many of you may know, we have two bearded dragons. Mike got one as a classroom pet during his first year of teaching. I was completely repulsed by the thought of it and was thoroughly distraught when he brought it to the apartment that summer. Geico grew on me that summer though and the thought of having her go back to the classroom the next fall was too much for me to handle, so I told Mike to get a new classroom pet. Bearded dragons are pretty sweet [classroom] pets because they are pretty clean, low maintenance, they don't bite, they live a pretty long life, have a personality of their own, and have a diet that pretty much consists of fruits and vegetables. So Mike decided to get another bearded dragon, Dino, for his classroom. I'm sure you can predict what happened from there... we kept him too! Sorry students, you got jipped.


Anyway, we have so enjoyed having the two of them as part of our home, watching them run around the apartment, eat crickets, go wild about strawberries, swim in the bathtub, take car rides and stare out the window... they certainly have been fun!


However, needless to say, we cannot take them to Thailand with us. We are sad about this, but knew it was coming. Thankfully, we have found a student from school (ML) who is going to actually keep both of them! So they will have some new adventures too-- finding new places to hide and run around, different bathtubs to swim in, a new owner, and maybe even new names.
