I'm so lucky to count you as one of my dearest friends. As you know, Syd is now a senior in beardie years. He's about 11.5 years old, and, generally, beardies only live 8-10 years in captivity. So, he is enjoying his golden years:) He still goes to programs with me, though. I just feel that he loves his job of making a difference in people's opinions of reptiles. My favorite part of every program is when I tell the audience that he loves kisses on his ears and then I demonstrate. I put my mouth next to his ear and make kissing noises and he closes his eyes and turns his ear up to my lips. He is a true heart-stealer and anyone that has every met him falls madly in love, as you know. Thanks again for your continued support of my mission! Syd sends a big kiss to you:)Rachael K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-72879858860003043572011-03-31T21:05:47.244-07:002011-03-31T21:05:47.244-07:00I agree that people should not be able to buy exco...I agree that people should not be able to buy excotic animals so easily.

She took on all these critters after a rescue no longer wanted them. Can you imagine? And she wasn't initially a reptile person, rather someone who loves big cats and wanted to work with them. My stories are inspired by Rachael, so yes, animals. Trisha, I never thought of how much kids would enjoy these pictures. That makes me feel really good.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-90507877497165575762011-03-31T15:56:44.041-07:002011-03-31T15:56:44.041-07:00They are so nice, i love animalsThey are so nice, i love animalsSérgio Ponteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02192401858887961551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-77651140347354531942011-03-31T14:20:20.127-07:002011-03-31T14:20:20.127-07:00Hello Inger!!
