ONE DAY AT MY FAVORITE PET STORE, WHERE I LIKE TO VISIT ANYTHING ALIVE, I RAN INTO THIS BEARDED DRAGON. I HAD ENGAGED WITH ONE OTHER BEARDED DRAGON BEFORE, SO I KNEW HOW SOCIAL THEY CAN BE. I STARTED TALKING TO HIM, FIRST ASKING HOW HE LIKED HIS ACCOMODATION, MOVING ON TO IF HE WAS HAPPY, AND LASTLY, TELLING HIM HOW HANDSOME HE WAS. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE SEQUENCE OF PICS, HE WAS FULLY ENGAGED, FINALLY REWARDING ME WITH THE MOST PRECIOUS SMILE EVER!!! ALL BEINGS RESPOND TO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, RESPOND TO PRAISE, AND ALL NEED IT. WE NEED A TIDE OF TRULY LOVING BEHAVIOR TOWARD ONE ANOTHER AS A SOCIETY. SOFTEN OURSELVES. REACH OUT TO THE LIFE AROUND YOU!! P.S. THE LAST LITTLE GUY IS THE ONE I LET GET AWAY! SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT HIM HOME!
