A Spoiled Lizard

Mrs Keeper says I'm a very spoiled bearded dragon.

I don't see why.

It's not as if I can spoil myself.

I get a spa almost every night.  I think I mentioned this before.

That's because the human employees think I need more humidity.

Scaleless skin under UV rays and all.

I don't know.  I just like UV rays and hot sun.

They help me digest.  And they make me happy.

I'm not happy about living in a glass enclosure though.

It's so boring.  I want to get out! Out!  Out!  Out!

So I complain and scratch on the glass doors.

Until they hear me and help me to come out for a while.

The human employees want me to stay in the enclosure.

Because there's a heat lamp and UV lamp in there.

So I wouldn't get cold and stiff and sick.

I understand that.  But it's still so boring.

I want to get out!  Out!  Out!  Out!

Sometimes it makes me so depressed, I don't want to eat any more.

What's the point of eating when you can't leave a heat lamp?

Once I didn't eat for 4 days.  Mrs Keeper got really worried.

So we had a talk.

She promised to let me do REAL sun-baking in the garden whenever she could.

That makes me happy.

When I'm outside and happy, I can eat 50 crickets!

It's been raining for days and days though.

Mrs Keeper promised I could go out as soon as the sun came out.

Today the sun finally came out!

She kept her promise.

I lay in the sun for an hour.  I was happy.

Mrs Keeper brought out the crickets.  My, was I hungry!

Then it started to drizzle.  Halfway though my meal.

Mrs Keeper leaned over me, so I could keep eating.

It rained harder.

I looked up at Mrs Keeper.  She got the point and leaned closer.

I kept eating.

The rain got heavier and heavier.

Mrs Keeper yelled at Mr Keeper: "Bring me an umbrella!  NOW!!!!"

Mr Keeper ran out of the house with an umbrella.

I ate 35 crickets.  Didn't want any more.

I looked up at Mrs Keeper.  She got the point and carried me inside.

I lay under the heat lamp with my full belly.

Very happy.

Mrs Keeper had to go and change her wet clothes.

    The Sunny Zoo

    The animals at the Sunny Zoo enjoy their many freedoms, including having access to the Internet and a blog.  

    In the Sunny Zoo Diaries, the animals take turns (with a lot of childish bickering) sharing their views about the animal AND human world around them.

    And out of the kindness of their hearts, they allow members of the Keeper Family - especially the young ones - to publish other stories from time to time.  Mostly because the animals like reading stories too!
