Farewell to Eric

[Catherine]

Eric is a little rescue bearded dragon. He was badly neglected as a young growing dragon and he developed a twisted spine and deformed legs.

I took him in and I was able to build up his strength, but sadly the deformities were permanent.

I always knew he would not have long so I gave him a really good tank setup and he was a really active and happy beardie.



This past few weeks I have known he was failing. It was sad to see my spunky little Eric lose weight and energy and generally get worse.

This morning he didn't eat and later he seemed to fall asleep. I have had him with me and some time tonight his heart stopped and he is gone.
He was a cute little dragon and he should have been strong and healthy and lived a long life.
I am going to miss him. He usually watches me as I type on the computer.
Farewell little Eric, I am glad you spent some time with me.
