Evie has a bearded dragon. Evie's bearded dragon is SICK. Don't know what's wrong yet but he's lethargic and passing blood. Went to an emergency vet AGAIN last night at about 11. They don't have a reptile vet so their suggestions were take him to the reptile specialist at UGA in Athens (90 miles from here) or "discuss "further treatments"". Now I'm no idiot. I know "further treatments" means end it here. Well..... Evie turns to me with tears in her big blue eyes and says "Athens isn't THAT far daddy". So here we go to Hubert country. Got there about 1:45 this morning. He was admitted to the hospital at about 3. Time to find a hotel. Go to the first one. "All booked, have 3 weddings". Go to the second. "Sorry... All booked". Call the third. "I can rent you a room but you can't check in until 9am". WHAT? Call the fourth. Has 1 room left. Single, smoking. I didn't even know hotels still had smoking rooms. Finally found a room at about 4 this morning. Got up about 8, ate breakfast at McDonald's where the dining room attendant was an absolute angel. Made things a little easier to take. Then, a 2 hour drive home. Got a call this evening from the hospital. He's not any better but he's not worse either. I may have given them the blue eyes, but Danielle gave them the red hair, the looks, and the ability to tear daddies heart out, stomp on it, and hand it back and it be ok. Those of you with girls know this sh!t ain't for the faint of heart.

There's some good things that came from it too. Got to have some of those life lesson conversations on the way back today

 Hhey Tyler,,,well,,,I may not actually KNOW what you going thru but can say I really feel for you,,,, WE had 5 boys and the wife would CRY in the labor room after the last 3 when the good Dr told her she had,,,,"ANOTHER BOY",,I'm talking real honest to goodness tears and she would refuse to hold the child until the nurse would start walking away with the child,,,,, "Where do you think you are going with MY baby"! Them nurses knew what they were doing, didn't they? After the 4th boy,,I started to try to adopt a little girl with her approval,,,but nobody told the state just how bad we really wanted to adopt a baby girl as we got turned away after 4 different applications that they said were incomplete,,,!!! BS,,AH"S,,,!!! two years later she had the 5th boy,,,,,go figure,,,,,
  Anyway,,none of the 5 boys had to spend any time in jail and 4 of them became supervisors like me,,,,figure some more,,,,
 Good Luck to you and your wife some more with yours

Got a call from the vet and it's bad. Evie went ballistic. We finally got her calmed down after about 30 minutes. I think she's had school stuff building up too so I think it just all came out. Baby is going through a tough time.


Dang Joe! 5 boys! Mercy. We have 2 girls because we didn't want 3

being a kid is tough these days, being their parents isn’t much better! Praying for Miss Evie, and y’all too!

It’s tough having your kids go through rough spots in the road of life and you will do anything possible to make it easier. Praying for Evie and all of you. Call me if there’s ever anything I can help out with. 
Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God.

Look away and learn to say no. You will be doing their future husband a huge favor. If you never say no they keep asking for more and more until you can't give them any more. Then they don't ever want to talk to you again. Unfortunately mine got that from her mother, but she is my exwife.

It's not quite like that Dan. They're both very mature for their age and very well know that me and their mother earn everything we get and they will to. We've offered Evie a job at the farm and she said "I'd be taking your money and that's not any different than you guys just paying for everything".

We did hear back from the vet and they found a mass on his colon. Explains the passing blood. We decided it's time to let him go. She's very upset but she agrees this is best.
