As many of you know, my husband ALWAYS wants to help other people, animals, and plants. He is definitely the kind of person that stops and helps every person that is pulled to the side of the road. He also frequently picks up animals that are in the street and moves them to the side or takes them somewhere... his favorite are snakes...yuck! Although he is a little overboard sometimes, I do love this about him. He is very sweet and truly willing to help anyone.
However, due to Rob's kindness, this week I came home to this....
Yes this is a Chinese Water Dragon... he went to a pool to service it and this was by the gate. He went and told the owners and they were surprised to see it. It previously had been their son's pet, but the boy didn't want it anymore so they just let it free in the desert.(Not the smartest... this is NOT a desert animal). It had been three weeks since they had let it free and it had found it's way home. By this point, it looked and smelled like death. The owners said that they were going to let it free again. Rob couldn't bare to see this, so he took it. They gave him the cage and everything. He didn't tell me he was bringing it home. He just did. He called my mom and told her about it and she went and picked up some food and met him at my house.(my mom always encourages Rob...haha). When I got home Rob said that he was going to call an Animal Rescue place and take it to them.... that was Monday and it is now Saturday... I am still wondering when that phone call is going to happen! Anyway, it looked horrible the first 24 hours, but Rob got it to drink and eat and it is now looking a little bit more normal. I am happy that he was successful is saving it... but now I want it to find a new home! For now though, we have a dragon and a devil (that is what my dad calls Roxy) for pets...what a combination.
