Meet Pudgy the Bearded Dragon

This is Pudgy, my 3 1/2 year old bearded dragon.  He's a hit everywhere we go, with kids,

adults, and animals alike. 

While recently camping, a squirrel kept invading our campsite.  While Pudgy has been known

to snuggle with cats and dogs on occasion, the squirrel got a little too close for comfort.

Pudgy flared his beard, hissed (which was really about a light half sneeze in human terms) and

the squirrel went running!  Into the wheel well of a car he went, and proceeded to squeal.

I never knew squirrels could make that sound.  Thanks to Pudgy, our campsite

was squirrel-free the rest of the time!
