If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you know that one of my favorite beings in the whole wide world is Michael’s bearded dragon, Stanley.

I love him with every fiber of my being.

He is the perfect pet. Low maintenance. Doesn’t actually like a lot of attention. Kind of dumb, so he can’t outsmart me. Likes to snuggle.

The downside? He eats bugs. But Michael does that when I am not around, so I pretend he eats a salad with a fork and dressing on the side like a gentleman.
