Her cage is in my office - right behind me. I realize now that every single time I walked into this room (MANY times a day) my first stop was always her cage - to see how she was doing, feed her, take her out for her shower or apologize when we had to make a vet trip. It is an odd feeling to walk right to my desk.



All of you here are not the only ones to have been touched by her life. I have anything that is shipped to me "live" delivered to my local feed store just in case I am not here. They accepted my leaf cham trio, Luna and Darwin (and of course MANY orders of crickets, roaches, etc.). They all know me, but it was Chris who I would always chat with about Luna's woes, silliness and beauty. I even printed a copy of the "snoozin'" pic and she put it on the register! Well, yesterday I stopped in to tell Chris what had happened. As I was relaying the story to her I looked at her eyes, which were quickly welling up with tears. I was so touched. She had never "met" Luna in the flesh...uh, scales - but was going to this summer when I would bring her in - of course that never happened, but it was so special to know that she touched someone else's heart, too.



thanks for being there



btw, did I ever send you the pics of Stitch?
