Hello.  My name is Drake and I am about a 9 month old Chinese Water Dragon.  I am exactly 1 foot long!  I don't know how much I weigh yet as my bonehead mom has not done this for me yet.  So anyway I am starting this "blog" which I call Drake's Chronicles as a way to amuse myself.  It all started last week when my mom was away from home and I managed to get on her computer and emailed her "Waterdragon Mailing List".  I will include that first entry after this weeks.  So anyway, each week you will get to hear about the life of Drake and the crap I put up with.

So this week bonehead, aka Mom, went to go start the sun.  She was 4 hours late too!  She grumbled something about the weekend.   So she turned off the moon and went to turn on the sun and I was met with darkness.  She didn't have a spare sun to screw in and left me all cold and sunless.  Didn't even feed me or get my Jacuzzi cleaned out and warmed up.  Now you know why I call her bonehead.

What seemed like hours went by and she finally got back and put the sun in and turned it on.  I was met with glorious sunlight and warmth!  Then she got around to doing her other chores for me.  I couldn't let her know how happy I was.  I stared at her hard when she put my Jacuzzi in and then ran from her when she presented me with a tasty brownish log looking thing she calls mealworms.  I was so hungry, but I couldn't give her the satisfaction!  It was so funny watching her beg me to eat.  I knew if I held out long enough she would give me one of those fat and oh so tasty white things she calls wax worms.  Then the moment of victory arrived and from her fingers dangled my prize.  I ran over and snatched it up.  Yummy!

Later on when she wasn't looking, I ate the brown log and soaked in my Jacuzzi as I plotted the next way I could get her to do my bidding. 

It didn't take long.  I must report her to the High Commander.  She "forgot" to make it rain a few days later.  We water dragons NEED our water and humidity and when it doesn't rain it gets very dry.  So I played her big time.  It is so EASY to do.  I was chilling in my tree and wouldn't wake up when she got home.  I was playing dead.  heehee.  This is one of my most favorite games.  I am VERY good at it.  She poked me.  I didn't move and stayed stiff.  She picked me up.  I stayed stiff.  She kept going "Drake...Drake?"  heehee She thought she could get rid of me so easily.  HA. 

Then she let the misting rains fall on me and to make a point I slowly began coming to letting her know how dehydrated her poor boy was.  I was milking it too so I could get one of those new hard food things that look white and bang their end.  She calls those mealworm pupae.  I don't care...I like my white crunchies.  I won.  Was there any question??? 

So now the week has come to an end.  She wasn't much excitement this week.  I am plotting more adventures.  I think next week I will start making her feel guilty about my diminishing accommodations.  She has me trapped in a 20 long gallon tank.  I mess with her by running along the sides scrambling along the glass as if acting to get out.  I started this when I heard she had a 60 gallon home for me.  I don't know why she is waiting.  I deserve a new home.

Anyway, you humans are fun to watch and bonehead is really fun.  I have not eaten well for the last few days so this; my second installment isn't quite up to my normal standards.  So check out last weeks news and be ready for next week as I am SURE it will be back up to speed.

Drake - Dragon extraordinaire!
