A Dragon called Scooby

Yesterday a friend brought over a bearded dragon  named Scooby for the girls to take care of for a week. Angie had done a book report at school about a month ago on bearded dragons. She thought Bearded Dragons were Komono Dragons, from China, which she loves, but she has since found out they are not when she realized how big they are. She still loves Bearded Dragons and will spout out the facts she has learned about them.
   When I found out my friend has a couple for pets we arranged to pet sit one of them for a week as a suprise for the girls. The girls are besides themselves and are so excited to have our little guest.
  So far they they have only left the side of the cage long enough to eat meals and sleep. Lucy is the biggest momma and woke me up this am to let me know the dragon needed to eat. She has kept running accounts all day letting me know what Scooby is doing and what Scooby needs. The girls have set up little toy lizards around the cage to keep Scooby company. They play kids music for her, and they included her in their pretend play, which now focuses around the cage.

 Right now, they are all gathered around Scooby's table and drawing pictures of Bearded Dragons for her.
