Well, I had to do it. I couldn’t not have a dragon for “earth” so I got a new lizard. In thinking of a name, I though “what is a good name for earth”. I immediately thought “peat moss” so I said “that’s it”. Peatie!
I did a “what does your favorite color say about you?” My favorite color is purple and this is what it said:
What Your Favorite Color Purple Says About You: |

I am very sad to report that I lost one of my dragons last Thursday. It was Rocky, the one I refered to as earth. I found him dead in his cage in the morning. He was a beautiful dragon and I already miss him so much. We had a brief candelight service for him graveside and said our goodbyes. It was very hard and now I fear that I might lose my other dragons as well.
My one girl, Spike, has a respiratory infection and she went to the vet today. She is constipated, dehydrated and has the respiratory infection. She is the one refered to as air. I now have to give her antibiotics, soak her and give her saline injected under her skin. I hate giving my pets needles. Good thing I am a nurse by training as it makes it me more comfortable with the needles. She changed her normal behavior of hanging out in the hammock as if to say, Help me.
I have another dragon who has been sick off and on and is sick again. Off to the vet again.
Update: Since I started writing this post last week (and never finished it) things are indeed looking up. Spike seems to have turned the corner and is improving. I got quite excited today when she pooped. The vet had said she was constipated and dehydrated. But since she was exhibiting signs of respiratory problems, she is treating her with antibiotics. One more week to go with that.
The other dragon, Casanova is on antibiotics for 4 weeks. And we are talking having to inject them with the stuff. Good thing I am trained as a nurse. But he seems to be doing well now so I am encouraged.
So this ends on a positive note! Still miss Rocky bunches. I got another dragon (more on this later) but he can never be replaced. Wonder what or who he will come back as?
