: Good morning; Well, a kid brought an iguana back from Minneapolis, and let it get almost to the point of being skeletal before taking it to the vet - who naturally called me, who naturally said "of course." I always do this, then get too attached to them, and get my heart broken if they die and if they don't, when placing them. Sigh. Mixing up the yummies for him yesterday and hubby walked in. Without even blinking he just said "oh another one, huh?" Didn't even slow down through the room. Don't know if that's a good sign or a bad sign. :-) I think iguana are wonderful, don't get me wrong or take this out of context, but I really wish people would stop buying them on impulse! They're just too smart etc. to end up looking like this. This kid got it from a friend who was SO proud he'd hatched out 42 babies. Good grief! He's not even giving them to experienced people, I bet most end up dead. Makes me mad.

: Also, on the good side, we got our first snow last night and at 8:17 a.m. it is still on the ground. Not much, but enough so my 106 lb poodle made nice footprints when he went outside for potty. I'd better go get my little one another pair of snowpants!
