My Babies!
Naw, I don't have any kids... unless you count the two dogs and the boyfriend! Josh, my boyfriend, is obviously the one playing the guitar (this is one of his favorite past times). Otis, is the white and brown dog. He is the best dog I have ever had! He is actually Josh's dog, but I love him like he is mine. Roxy, the white dog, is the dog I adopted from my friend. This is honestly the best picture I have been able to get of her. The last photo is Bowser, our beared dragon. We got him for free from a friend and have since become very attached. He looks a little scary, but trust me... he is great. So, as you can see, we have a full house! It can be a little much sometimes, but I wouldn't want it any other way. Otis is my buddy and Roxy keeps my lap warm. Bowser entertains me and well... Josh LOVES me! :)

Is that a toad?? A Bearded Dragon??(Not the one with the guitar!) Tell me more about him!
Bowser is what they call a bearded dragon. He is nearly a foot and a half long (tail included). He is considered a lizard who is native to deserts. His diet consists of arugula lettuce, crickets and pinky mice (I WONT feed the mice to him... it makes me cry). It is really entertaining to watch him eat. He strikes with his long, sticky tounge that is probably about 2 inches long. He likes it dry, dry, dry and HOT. It has to be around 85 and 90 degrees so his cage is heated with two light bulbs. He also has to have a UV light on him for at least 8 hours a day. As complicated as it sounds, he is really easy to take care of. I give him lettuce in the morning, crickets in the afternoon, and remember to turn his light on and off. His digestion is slow (meaning he doesn't go poo very much) so I only have to change his bedding once every 3 weeks or so. He is a pretty relaxed lizard. He likes to come out of his cage and sit on your shoulder. The dogs HATE HIM though! :) He can have a bit of an attitude. But, you can tell when he is cranky because his beard (what you would say is his chin) turns DARK brown. His color changes depending on his mood, whether he has been fed or if he is too cold or too hot. He is pretty cool, though! I got him for free from a friend that was trying to find new homes for his MANY reptiles. Ask if there was anything else you wanted to know about him! :)
