It is a wonderful thing to take in an older pet like that. If only the right people had money, think of the wonderful things we would do with it.
In some ways I do that with reptiles. I have taken in older reptiles like Barrie. It would have been fun to get a baby Tegu, but Barrie needed a home. I will probably never have a baby anything because there are always older adults needing care. Even the guinea pigs I adopt are often older ones. I know people don't want to buy their kids a pet that will die in a year. I understand that, but the old piggie still needs a home. If I only have a sort time with a pet I try to make it the best time ever.
Barrie needs a full spa treatment again. He feels better when I give him a good soak and a massage. His tank is beside the computer and I can watch him sleep while I type. He looks so cute when he is sleeping. He is on his blue camo blanket right now.
