My pets
Rai [Bearded Dragon]Name: Rai (pronouced rye).
Breed: Fancy Bearded Dragon. Date I got her: June of 2016. Date She Passed Away: March 13th, 2018 Age: Approx. 2 years old Her Story:
I've always wanted a Bearded Dragon. I absolutely love reptiles! During the time I attended college (I live there on campus), life got a bit rough and I was struggling immensely. I had been talking to a counselor and she suggested that I get an emotional support animal for my dorm. So I thought about it and did some research. Finally, I made the decision after thinking about cost/what the beardie will need/etc. I chose to get a Bearded Dragon and when I got Rai, I was so petrified because of how tiny she was! When she was small, I rarely took her out of her tank. I would hold her while she was inside the tank. I was afraid if I held her outside the tank, she fall off me or run away from me. But as I grew more comfortable with having her, I took her out more, let her sleep on me every night to form a bond. She has helped me cope with my negative feelings and has helped fill a void in my heart. I am so thankful to her and love her with all of my heart. I love hand feeding her, though now that she's an adult she won't let me! I love how she closes her eyes when I pet her basically anywhere. I love the way she shimmies into a spot and falls asleep, super cute. Rai was diagnosed with Adenovirus which is not curable. It is a virus that attacks and weakens all systems in the dragon. Her nervous system, immune system, etc was all out of whack. She was diagnosed about 6 or so months ago. Unfortunately, the virus was too much for her body to handle and she passed away March 13th, 2018. She will forever be missed and will forever be loved. |

Angel [Chihuahua]
Name: Angel
Breed: Red-Brindled, Long-Haired Chihuahua Age: Almost 10 years old Her Story:
When I was a baby I had a dog named Sassy, shortly after I started middle school, she passed away. Afterwards, I didn't have my own dog so to speak. My mom had her's, another Chihuahua named Perlita, and my dad had Precious, a mutt. I wanted my own dog. So I begged my mom and dad to let me have a puppy of my own. My best friend, at the time, his mom was a breeder of Chihuaha's and I had fallen in love with this little brindled puppy. They were wiling to give us a break as far as cost and eventually my parents were persuaded! I love everything about this dog. She is a vacuum cleaner, eats anything and everything (not always a good thing xD ). She begs all the time, for belly rubs/food/treats/etc. She a pig in the respect she gobbles her food up in seconds (not always good xD). Just recently (November 2017) she had a mammary tumor and had to get it removed because it was growing and was type 1 cancer. She is all better now! She got it removed as well as got spayed to prevent any hormones causing another mammary tumor. |
