Introducing Mushu, My Bearded Dragon!

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

I grew up on a farm, and live in the city in order to go to school. But I do not cope well with the concrete jungle and like to have a pet to come home to. I posted on a trading website that I had a Gift Card for Victoria Secret and a woman offered me a bearded dragon for it. I thought this was perfect. Turns out she was hoarding animals like crazy and I got Mushu out of a bad situation. So here is Mushu and his day to day life of trying not to expend any more energy that necessarily possible...

First of all he must cuddle with me and absorb my heat.

If I am not available he waits for the "sun" to turn on and bask on his log while meditating.

Next he must be fully involved in my Steemit activity.

And when left to run free he must wear his trusty cape.

When he knows he is hot, he will give a big smile.

And then suck up for more cuddles.

He often ponders life by the window.

And takes full advantage of real sunlight to model in.

But when he has had enough he might use anything as a bed.

He enjoys fresh organic dandelion salad with carrots and sprinkled calcium toppings.

If I leave the couch for a minute he will steal my place on the heating pad (heat=life).

On the weekend he might go out to a friends, but must bundle up in these Canadian winters.

There is always time for another nap...

Or playing with his toys.

He also plans my death when I put hats on him.

But he needs me as a pillow for another nap.

His best friend is a stuffed alligator but I don't know what he has named him.

He tries hard to participate in Scrabble but often falls asleep.

Mushu again plans my death during his weekly bath.

So he takes time to vent, on the heating vent of course.

And at the end of the day if he doesn't want to climb the rocks...he just won't.

Basically Mushu lives the amazing life of being lazy, eating, cuddling, and staying warm. But also as a handsome bearded man who models occasionally.

Wellcome to family :)

Thank you very much!!!

Welcome @teggit

Thank you Mr.Bean

Welcome to steemit family! Good luck! I am sure that you will fully enjoy your journey here:)

Thank you!!!!

If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Great Post!

I like monkeys!

I like cats flying in toasters over rainbows.

oh good you didn't understand it either

It might be a weird elephant joke haha. Just kidding. You're right. No idea what the paying peanuts to get monkeys comment means.

At least he upvoted his own comment. We all must amuse ourselves in our own worlds sometimes.

Mushu is one lovely looking lizard. Sorry to hear he doesn’t like hats or baths, unfortunately a necessity for staying dapper. The cape works well though 😆

I think he believes he already is dapper without accessories

He is a mighty fine dragon for sure :)

That's awsome! ;)

Good photo. It is my Dragon:

Oh very nice. What kind?

@teggit Eublepharis. What do you feed your dragon?

Oh cool! Mine eats lots of different worms, but since he is an adult he is turning more towards a vegetable diet.

@teggit Our lizard eats crickets and flour worms. We produce flour worms.

I have never heard of those worms.

lizards are very fond of flour worms

IMG_20180317_115804.jpg

OH we call those Superworms!!! Those are his favourite.

Hey there Blond Splinter Master Girl, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and your smart awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Lizard Turtle Assassin Creed Hood Jedi Master Creature is a cute funny critter indeed. I had a pretty funny guinea pig named Ra Ra.

@joeyarnoldvn Why thank you. He thinks he is pretty great. Ra Ra is a hilarious name.

The stuffed alligator might be his GF.

That would make a lot of sense actually

YIKES!! Why not get another dog?

@rlt47
My dog lives at my parents farm because you can't have dogs in the apartments. Plus the dogs I buy need a ton of exercise and training and would go crazy in an apartment if I am busy with school :(((((

Ok! I must admit Mushu is kinda cute. His growing on me.

I agree they are a bit hard to get used to but when they snuggle into you and watch tv with you its pretty endearing for a lizard.

@rlt47 I will try to make a point to post a pic of him on every comment I make to you until you love him.IMG_2226.JPG

Mushu is such a handsome little guy!

Awe thanks @mbell. I tell him he is a pretty boy everyday incase he forgets.
