Posted by iZ's mom on April 15, 2001 at 15:05:35:
from the sharing that you have all done, i now know *why* i feel comfortable sharing stuff here + *why* i like this forum sooo much! we are all SO much alike! tho non-ig people would define this as a bit insane, i think it's more that we CARE ...
i have cried harder when iZ was so deathly sick than i have *ever* cried for a person ... i think at least *some* of that comes from the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness that comes when iZ is sick ~ there's just *not* the medical care available for igs that there is for people ~ or other animals ... and xta, i for one, *totally* understand how + why Salvador's death affected you so! {{{hugs}}} ... my little dwarf bunny died last summer at 8yo, and for *weeks* hubby + i *both* continued to hear his claws running across the kitchen floor whenever we rustled paper, coming to get a treat ... i still hear him sometimes, chewing on something he shouldn't be ~ *grin* ... it's comforting ...
iZ *is* my baby!! he came into my life at the point where my son was grown + preparing to move out into the grown-up world ~ *ACK* i don't know if this is an estrogen-related thing or not (*grin*) ~ but iZ came to me when i needed someone to nurture + love ... and *yes* he is my "baby"! some of my co-workers appreciate seeing pix of their crazy co-worker + her ig, others just start on a tirade about how crazy, dumb, silly, ETC i am ... i have finally gotten to the point where i tell them to shut the H*** up ~ if they don't understand, fine! but don't belittle me OR the animal that *is* my pride + joy!!! if you want to *try* + understand, i will talk allll day to you about the wonder that is the "Baby-dragon" ~ otherwise ~ take off! (and they do!)
and i totally relate to the 180 degree turn around ~ some days i totally know what iZ is saying + needs ~ other days, it's agony cuz i just know i'm missing something ...
and xta ~ i've had dreams like yours regarding special people that i've lost, they made perfect sense to me and i *do* believe they were "real" ... just like *your* dream with Salvador was real ... you're *not* a kook m'dear!
to Spyro + Sparks Mom:
*ME!?!?!?* delicate???? oh wow! thank you! it looks like i *am* doing an adequate job of biting my tongue at the correct moments then! *grin* ... and you're always welcome here even tho you haven't been taken over by an iguana ... yet!
+ Diana ~ i like how you put it ~ there are times when i've thought "life would be easier if ..." but it doesn't go much further than that ... and really, i think that about the *people* in my life more than i do with iZ!!! i'm soooo bad!
iggy-pampers!! OMG, i'm LMAO at the mental image that brings!!! almost 3yo Sara loves to help when baby-sister Hannah needs clean pants and i can just picture Sara running for iZ's diaper bag .... ROTF ... too funny! "I help Yi-Yi!?!?" (i don't know how she got "Yi-Yi" for my name but she made it + i LOVE it!) ...
pampers huh??? the igs would prob'ly think it was to be used as a paintbrush after they filled it ~ hey THANKS humommy!!
i have to point out that i don't believe there *are* "accidents"!!! the little buggers do it On Purpose ~ cuz they CAN .... LOLOLOLOL
and Christy ~ YES holding onto the top of your head IS considered snuggling! *grin*
+ Tony ~ Godzilla is a kewl name! iZ + i watched that movie when it was on tv + we thought it was pretty *kewL* that 'zilla looked so very ig-like!!!! (iZ + i left the room at the scary, bad end of the movie where the mean people were picking on the good lizards tho!)
oh! and like Bug, iZ was a LITTLE lucky in that at least his 1st human knew he was strictly vegetarian ~ his diet wasn't healthy but at least it wasn't cat food ...
i AM going to be singing allllllllll day at work "We're off to see the Lizard .... " ... LOLOL ... but if you start calling him by "Ozmond" he's gonna think he's in trouble, same as when your mom called you by your 1st + middle names !?!??
and yeah, it'd be nice if all these igs had gotten to grow up in the tallest tree of their native habitat ... *sigh ... no matter how good a job we do, it's always 2nd best to what they should have had ... ahhhhh, no wonder we're all slightly nuts with that hangin' over our heads!
but iZ *does* eat healthier than any of the humans around here ... AND i spend more time on his meals than i ever have on a mere human's food .... *grin*
ok ~ now that we've all proved we have no life outside of our igs ... *grin* ... i hafta go build iZ's supper ...
best to all!
Bon.
ps ...
oh + i do have to defend my poor hubby in regards to my lack of b-day present that year! *grin* ... it wasn't his fault + he felt worse about it than i did! we were going thru one of those extremely broke times is all ... he's the best! *grin*
+ OH! my g-daughters ~ my girls!!!!! i had only one son + never knew what i was missing til Sara came into my life 2 yrs ago ... she's my son's step-daughter ... but she is my 1st grandchild ANYway!!! right now, my son is very angry with me ~ iZ's mom sometimes forgets to be tactful + says things that she knows everyone else is thinking but has too much sense to say even tho the thing needs to be said ... d'ja follow that??? so son is mad + his ego is bruised and it's ok cuz it's *me* he's mad at + not Sara's mom ... (oh! that sounded very martyr-like didn't it!?!?) ... he'll get over it ... until then, the consequence of my actions is that i don't get to talk to him or see my girls ... they live across town! ... it's ok! this is all part of him growing up + ME growing up ...
*grin*
