well, if Lizard is clinging *to you* then isn't that already sort of forming a bond??? trusting that *you* are a safe thing to hold on to???
yes, i'll admit the logic may sound a bit twisted!
*grin*
but that's how iZ + i started out with bath/bond time ... early on in his life, (before he + i discovered this forum!) he had become *so* constipated that he was bloated + obviously in discomfort ~ all i could think to do was try to get him to soak in a warm bath, that maybe that would help those "tummy" muscles to relax and *Let Go* ...

so with me leaning over the side of the tub and little iZ hanging on to my arm for dear life, we had "tub time" ...
*Very Brief* tubtime to begin with ~ a few minutes at a time and then snuggle in a bath towel ...

he learned he *could* trust me and whaddya know!? discovered that warm water was NOT such a bad thing after all ... especially when he discovered that he could train me to rub his back jussssssssst riiiiiiiight .... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ...
hour long tub soaks became very very common!!!

*grins*
Bon.
(but REALLY Lizard, you'll LIKE it and i promise you will NOT go down the drain!!!)
