I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I would've loved you anyway

~ From: I Would Have Loved You Anyway by Trisha Yearwood
I don't have a picture of Bob, the iguana. She was a beautiful blue iguana. Her head was a really pretty blue. Bob had been abused by her previous owners. When we got her, she had no claws, no spines, she had punture wounds on her, her belly had been seered by a heat rock, and her nose had a growth on it that couldn't be removed. Bob developed renal kidney disease and passed after surgery to biopsy her kidneys to see if we could help them regenerate. At the time Bob was called to the Meadow at  Rainbow Bridge, she had regrown her claws and spines.
Perky was a funny little creature. At first, when we would pick her up, she would curl up in a ball, stick her spines out to stick us and make a sound that sounded like the old time percolators, which is how she got her name. She was nocturnal, so we really didn't have much dealings with her other than when she would move the plastic hidey hole tubes around in her tank at 3 a.m. and I'd have to rearrange her home.
Amber was very sweet and was happy just knowing she was loved by us. She always seemed to have a smile on her face. She was content to lay on the family room floor or on the love seat with a flip chip. I truly wish we could have found her before her health became so bad, so that we could have taken care of at least some of her ailments .  She was a joy to have as a member of our family.
We lost Sonny the fall of 2003.  We don't know what  happened. He was fine that evening, the Gregg noticed how quiet he and Cher were before he went to bed and checked on them. Sonny had passed away and Cher was with him on the bottom of the cage mourning him.
Zig passed away June of 2004. She was over 10 years old.  She was a firm believer in "Whomever can be physcially higher than the rest wins."  She really copped an attititude when she got her new custom-built cage in 2000. Zig would let me groom her by taking her shedding skin off her. She hated to have dead skin on her face. She and her attitude will be sorely missed.  
Cher and Madonna both passed away Christmas Eve 2003. We don't know the cause. They were such pretty birds, with their bright colors.  Parakeets are noisy little things and these two seemed to bicker quite a bit.
