The newest member of our family.

Sydney has been saving her money.  Mostly because she's tight and refuses to spend it.  but she also decided that she was going to buy herself a pet and wasn't wasting a dime of "her" money on anything else.

We had talked about several little pet people that she might buy and keep in her room.   A snake has always been high on the list.   Hamsters and other furry rodent types were placed a little lower on the list trying to hide from J....but eventually Janice erased anything that resembled a mouse from all of the lists including the secret ones when we weren't looking.  
She was interested in a tarantula.   but I think that even made her a little creepy crawly.
Mostly it was just cool that everybody got to hold one.


After it all she picked a lizard.    We researched and googled and checked out and read books and talked to people and decided on the perfect kind, a good age, cage, food, and light requirements.  and we even offered to go half on all of what it would take to make her a member of our family.
I introduce Lucille.   Sydney's bearded dragon.

This shows the bearded part.   They are spiky but don't hurt to touch.  

She's a sweety that one is.   Lucille too.  :)
