: well! iZ *seems* to have discovered the joys of
soaking in a nice warm tub ... *finally*! hubby
looked in on us and quickly walked back out of the
room, shoulders shaking with laughter ... hhhumph!

: i pre-warm the tub and then plug the drain ...
we have/had a hand held shower, i unscrewed the
shower head part cuz iZ doesn't like the hissing
noise it makes (and the puppy chewed the shower
head up!) ... so now i have an iZ-hose that
quietly runs warm water the whole time he's in the
tub to keep him warm ... a while back, i started
puttng a wet washcloth over his back cuz
historically, he doesn't like baths and won't let
the water get deep enough to soak his sides ...

: so, now, iZ is in the tub with his superman
cape on and i'm sitting on a crate next to him
(claw-foot tub - high sides!) holding the shower
hose on him to keep him warm and keep the
washcloth wet cuz he's shedding ... in walks hubby
and just *cracks-up* ... of all the nerve!

: iZ will now soak in the tub for 30-40 minutes at
a time! not every night, but a couple times a week
... of course, i have to be his personnal bath
attendant the entire time ...! my hands look like
i have leperosy by the time we're done! it's soooo
funny! i'm glad he's finally figuring out that
soaking is good to get rid of the "itchies" ...

: then! we had *another* kitchen floor picnic!
thankfully, not *quite* as enthusiastically as
last nite tho! the kid has been shedding almost
constantly for the last 2 months and now with
these massive eating frenzies ...!!!! i thought he
was gonna slow down on the growing thing a bit ...
not yet i guess ...

: then, after using the
sleeping-in-the-middle-of-the-floor-puppy as a
speed bump, he went back up to his livingroom
basking spot and i think has passed out ....
heheheh ...

: iZ is getting a very attractive little pot-belly
going! he amazes me every time i think of how
scrawny and sick he was when he moved in ... i'm
so glad i found MK, et al. when i did and i'm glad
i found this board 2 yrs ago too! and who else
would let me not only tell baby dragon stories,
but appreciate them too! ah, those silly
co-workers of mine don't know what they're
missing! *grin*

: going to snuggle with my dragon now,
: a content mom
