My Beardie

About a year ago, I acquired a 9 year old female Beardie. I have always had cats and dogs, but she came into the vet clinic where I worked, about to be euthanized. Her owner was moving and could not take her with him. It just happened to be my birthday and I called my husband and asked him if he had gotten me anything yet. He said "Not yet....why?" (in the tone of "I think I know where this is leading..."). After I assured him that it was not another dog or cat, he said that he'll see me at home later with "whoever comes home with you". I had never had a reptile before, but the previous owner provided me with her logs, food, lamps, etc, almost everything that I would need to get started. I thanked him and assured him that I would take the best care of her that I could for her remaining years.. So it's been a year and I don't know how much longer she will be with me (she has been slowing down a lot the last month or so), but she is very sweet and I do love her a lot. She likes to be let out of her tank to walk around my bedroom and her and 2 of my cats get along very well. All 3 have quite an interest in the cricket keeper! (For different reasons, I am sure) Please write back and tell me stories about your Beardies and how you got them or the things that they like to do.
