Hi all,
sorry to drag this down. We were a part of this a while ago and got caught up in the joy and happiness a beardie can bring to our lives.
Ya know, it's really strange that something so tiny and almost fragile I suppose, something that hardly ever asks to be held, petted, bathed, etc can grab ahold of your heart and make ya wanna have a 1000 of em!
well, it happened to us, a family of 3. My wife, 11-yr old son and me! Dad is the kind of person that has a faithful dog or two, my wife has 2-birds and our son wanted a "beardie". WTF I asked him, well not that bad but I had no idea what a "beardie" was. I never knew that I was about to have my life transformed for the better!!!
When we started looking, we researched the heck out of (or so I thought) what to look for, how to buy when to buy, etc, etc. When we arrived at the young girls house that was moving and had to give up Fergie, I thought, "holy crap, she's huge!". But OMG, how incredibly cute she is/was!! How can this be? A reptile and cute don't usually go in the same sentence. Fast fwd 9-months, and she was a huge part of our lives, bringing joy every day in her strange way only a beardie can do type of life.
Last 4-days have been hell! She suddenly stopped eating, we thought brummation or the start there of, all the signs, lethargy, lack of appetite, etc. I took her to the vet and on the way, my 11-yr old son & I were driving to the vet with her all wrapped up in a blanket, just like on bath days, her mouth opened up like she was trying to take a breath, sadly it was to be her last. She died on the way to the vets and we are so glad to have had her in our lives for the short time, to have blessed us with what she did. I will never forget our time and Fergie's ways of making us laugh, wonder and smile.
Rest In Peace Fergie, we love you and will always remember our "Beardie" for the things that make you go Hmmmmm and smile.
I've cried for a while for some strange reason, trying to make sense of this and trying to figure out why I am crying, but I think back to how she ran across the room, side to side, stopping to dart her tongue out at something that caught her attention for a slit second, that's how I remember Fergie!
