Hello Everyone,

    Mom isn't home so I decided to use her computer and write the mailing list myself.  Thank you all for helping mom out.  She is a bit of a bonehead at times.  But she does try and is a pretty good mom.  Last night she let me free roam after she put those big 4 legged fur balls away.  That was soooooo much fun!  I ran ALL over the living roam and leapt from the back of the couch to the ground and took off!  It was so funny watching mom worry and follow me around.  At one point I think she convinced herself I broke my foot.  I certainly didn't play along with that idea...ahem.  Anyway, I let her rub my back afterwards and ate a worm to make her feel better.  It seemed to work.  I slept in my tree too and have been eating all the crickets she left in my bowl.  I am still not eating one of those long thick worm creatures she calls a pinky.  EEEWWWW....gross!  She can starve me all she wants...I will get food from her one way or another.   I am feeling better too and growing like a weed.  I sure wish mom would get my new house set up. 

    She did take pictures of me too and I am gonna get on her about that.  I want everyone to see me cuz I am a very handsome young dragon, when I am not shedding.  I have such a cool bluish-green underbelly.  I think I will look even more handsome soon - but I keep shedding lately so it fades my amazing colors.  I just have one request of the list.  Stop making mom suspicious.  She is starting to think I actually manipulate her and try and make her feel guilty and I am losing points here.  We dragons have very little entertainment in our lives at times and we get such a kick out of making you all do our bidding and seeing the lengths you will go to make us happy.  I didn't think I could get her to take the nasty tasting wings off my crickets and even though she is squeamish about it...she does it.  MUHWA HAHAHA.  Anyway, don't give away the secrets...this is my TV.  

    Again though thank you all so much for your support, advice and all of that.  It has made me a happier and healthier dragon.  But I have one question....I was too embarrassed to ask mom.  There are these little clear plastic like rods in my water after I go potty and they are in my water until she changes it.  There are LOTS of them.  I even got a bit of them on my repti carpet.  Do I have parasites or was there something in my cage that I ate that is doing this?  If it is parasites does mom have to take me to the vet again or can she get something at the store?

    I hate going to the vet.  They are so far away and mom has to take a day off from work and that can be hard.  

    Thanks list and keep up the excellent work.  Your good deeds will bode well when the high commander comes to take over this planet.  You will be the lucky humans that can be our viv slaves and pamper us  all day while the not so wise humans do the dirty work of hunting for our food and any other crazy things we decide. 

Laters,

Drake
