Katey's Creepy Bearded Dragon Meets the Goofy Dogs

 "Get him," said Penny, the young and energetic white and brown Brittany Spaniel.

"He looks like he could hurt us," said Mickey, the older, wiser German Shepherd mix.

"I'll get you both if you don't get out of my way," said Germin, who was searching the house looking for his friend, Figgy the cat.

Germin would never hurt the dogs, but it was fun to scare and harass the silly canines. Figgy must have warned them to stay away from the Creepy Bearded Dragon.

The dogs were afraid of the cat. They didn't know that Figgy had no claws. Finally, Figgy strolled up the basement steps and showed his teeth. The dogs scurried to the dining room.

Figgy said to Germin, "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."

Katey's Creepy Bearded Dragon Meets Figgy the Cat

"You're invading my turf," said Germin, the Creepy Bearded Dragon.

"I belong on the sofa. You, creepy creature, belong in that glass box with
the big light bulb,” snapped Figgy, the cat.

Figgy hated to admit that he was getting attached to the scaly thing. They loved to get suntans together when the rays came in the window.

Germin was happy to have a smaller new friend in the house. The dogs were big and goofy. His black and white buddy was smart and sassy. Figgy's master would never let the cat play with him. The other girls in the house introduced the two pets to each other when the master left for Texas.

Figgy remembered that Katey worried about the cat eating the creepy creature. Figgy had licked the creature when she had been playing with the silly dogs. The cat preferred her bowl of kitty food.

Katey and the Creepy Bearded Dragon: Her New Pet

Katey has always collected pets. Her mom pitches a fit everytime she begs for an animal, but sometimes she is weak.

She has had everything from the standard hamsters with 1000 babies to the bizarre chinchilla that rolled in dust. Some of the creatures escaped their cages and are probably still lurking in the ductwork or in dark corners of the house. A hermit crab was lost and actually found one year later alive under the corner of a doormat when the basement flooded.

Her Dad came home with an aquarium and Katey was prepared for fish, however, her Dad had other plans. He introduced Katey to an iguana. He was a mean thing that tried to whip the dogs with his tail. One day it must have ducked out the opened door and it has not been seen since. The dogs were relieved.

The aquarium looked so lonely. A day later, the glass box had a new addition, a creepy bearded dragon named "Germin". Katey's mom was skeptical of Germin. The iguana's whipping tail habit scarred her for life. The dogs were leery and the cat thought he looked "tasty". Katey slowly intergrated him into her family's lives. Katey will have some adventures with this "little dragon."
