Smirnoff Saves the day again!! LOL

Heather Sep 06, 2003 02:23 PM

I took My 4 foot Male Ig to a local Street Fair. It's an annual thing. Well, Not only did He direct TONS of people Here for info about Igs (They saw Him and wanted one.... Ugh....) But He ALSO saved a Couple Lives!! We met a few (quite a Few) people with improper set ups and diets (not to mention the lack of lighting). After They took a look at Him, and Listened to me explain things, They said their setups and diets (Lighting also) were gonna change soon as they got Home. I had a few ask where to get the lights and such. One person (Who said they'd be coming here) wants me to go to their house and check out their set up to see how it is and how their Ig looks!! They want to do thing RIGHT!!! I was ssssssoooooooo excited that so many cared about their Igs and that they wanted PROPER info on them. Anyway, Just thought I'd share and let you guys know that we should be having some new comers pretty soon! I'm still on a high from today. And Smirnoff? He just ate the attention right up! He got LOTS of Neck rubs and Back rubs! He was lovin' every second of it!! LOL Man! What an awesome day!

That's great news about meeting people who want to correctly keep their igs. Unfortunately for me, all the people I run into HAD an ig, but don't now. Anyway, I'm in the process of making up a "micro-care sheet", on a business card format. This way, I can use WordPerfect to print out sheets of 10 cards. I'm going on vacation soon, and last year Iggi was a big hit at the Daytona Beach Raddison. This year, at the Orlando AmeriSuite hotel, if I run into any ig owners (or prospective owners), I can hand out a micro-care sheet, along with my personal advice/experience.

I just wish that the reptile dealer where they got them from would have made it all clear from the start instead of having their customers go blindly for awhile. *Sigh*
