I'm still working on the backdated entries for the last while, from the wedding until now. Slowly but surely getting caught up....
Our time in Florida has been wonderful, and we had good friends to spend it with this time....! While they've been heading up back to eastern Canada, we've spent our time catching our breath and trying to slow time down as much as possible. However, it seems the slower you want it, the faster it goes, and vice versa. Such is life....
For our last few days we arranged to stay in Jetty Park....one of our favorites as most know;-) It was also a great opportunity to trek into Orlando and pick up our *new friend*. That being Miphy, our bearded dragon! I don't know how this came about, but I decided I wanted one. As most know, when I decide on something, well....that's it! Anyway, when adults, dragons are known to be cuddly and interactive....as well as appreciative of human companionship. This little guy LOVES to stand up on his back legs and lean his front ones on the window, and just stare outside. He also loves to curl up and snuggle into a little blanket I gave him on the first night to sleep. Oh, and they are ADORABLE.....some may not agree with this however!
But....just look at this face!
In the car on the way home....
Check out the color....and his being *special*.
Cute!
Oh boy!
Getting him used to my shoulder....he already loves sitting there!
I met a lovely girl online who had a few babies for sale....one of them was nipped by a sibling and lost his hand. Of course, I fell in love with him right away. But of course, I wanted one who I felt I had a connection with, like in the case of Cocoa! (Who for some reason, never got an intro on here, so I'll have to backdate one!) We saw them all in the tank, and while I knew which one I truly wanted, I felt like it was such a DECISION. I could have taken them all....so cute! But Bryan handed me Miphy one more time, and I knew it was quite clear....
He has been a wonderful addition to our *traveling zoo*. Mittens loves him....watches the tank all day. Endless hours of entertainment! The birds are also pleased as the *big white monsters* attention has been (temporarily) shifted. This new friend has also given me a project....as he will need a bigger enclosure as he grows. Thus, we will be building a sort of stackable enclosure for the dragon, the hermit crabs, and the birds, who I wanted to build an acrylic cage for anyway. It will give me more to do in PEI I suppose!
So we all lived happily ever after....
....and then the dreaded *Thursday* came along....the day we were supposed to leave and head back up north. Oh, but we (the Jetty Park staff and I, and to some degree Bryan) knew that this would not come about! We extended our stay for another week....an early B-Day present for me! Bryan will have to suffer the long drives for me, but that's what marriage is about....men suffering. Am I right or am I right?
;-)
And so, I will be at the beach until I have to be dragged away, kicking, screaming and crying!
Until then, happy travels, I will write to you from the road on the way up....
However, if you don't hear from me again, I will most likely have frozen to death and suffered horribly beforehand. </end dramatics>
That, or I just procrastinated....!
