“I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?”  ― John Lennon

Last week I lost my Evee girl. She was a rescued bearded dragon and had many health issues in the short time I had her. I adopted her June 2016. She went through a broken jaw that never quite healed all the way, an infection in said jaw, a surgery to remove said infection, shots of penicillin, and so many other things. She was a trooper and was so good when I was helping her. Then one day last week she refused to eat. She was gone by the next morning.

I decided then to renovate her enclosure with the idea in my mind that I would not get another beardie until said enclosure was completed and aired out. As of last night this is what it looks like –

Well, yesterday I went into my local Petsmart, where I frequently bought insects, to let the clerks know I lost my Evee. One in particular always asked me how she was doing. While there, I spied an adorable 6 to 8 week old baby beardie and…well….

Introducing Charlie Winchester Walker (yes, she is named after Felicia Day’s character and the Winchester Brothers from Supernatural – slight fan here).

Is she not the cutest?!

Needless to say, I have to get my ass in gear and get that enclosure done. I’m really looking forward to the summer so I can take my sweet Charlie out in the yard to play 🙂 Hence why I chose California Dreamin’ as today’s song – I’m dreaming of that warm sun and beautiful days.
