Spyro

Zachary has been talking about getting a pet for a long time. He wanted a fish, or something that he could keep in his room that was just his. We visited the pet store and read online about what a good pet for his age would be and stumbled upon the bearded dragon.

I was apprehensive trying to push for a bunny, or gerbil - but he insisted on the dragon. He even read about them online and asked lots of great questions at the store about how to hold him, what they ate, how to clean their cage - so cute!

So, we bit the bullet and welcomed spyro into the family. Zach thusfar has been a great dragon keeper. We joke about him growing wings and breathing fire - but truthfully Zach has done a really great job! I love seeing how caring he is, how he reads to him and takes him around to show him our house. He is very careful to make sure he has enough water and crickets and that the right light is turned on at the right time.

This was a great early birthday present and I know they will have lots of years of being great buddies...they can live 10 years....wow!
