Keep the twirler Twirl. It is you!

Because dwaggies are so :cuddle; able! I've got about 50 dwaggies of all types in my home. Dwaggies are the best!!!

By the way, "dwaggie","draggie", "dwagie", "dragie" and "dwagon" are all dragon collector nicknames for the fire-breathing marvels that are dragons.

Long live dwaggies!!!

Thanks!  Yes, Mick and I were in Florida last month for a year end event for Maximized Living Chiropractic coaches. We were going to dinner on the beach and got the tail end of a gorgeous sunset. Wonderful weekend with amazing friends, one of whom is my donor buddy. I have a photo of her on my facebook page that I will try to put here too.

No, it's an affectionate way to refer to a collector's beloved dragons. My husband calls me "Dwaggie" or "Dwagonette" because he says I'm like a cute little dragon.

As you all know, I change my avatar frequently because...I have no idea why, I just do.  But I wanted to tell you about this photo.  These two pairs of sisters, both a year apart (I'm the second from the left) hung out together all the time, every day.  We shared everything and since I was the oldest they all did anything I suggested.  We went fishing, built a treehouse, went swimming in the irrigation canals, fed newborn calves and piglets, rode donkeys...we did it all.  Their names were Dudu and Little.  Their mother always made them wear dresses, ours didn't care what we wore so we often only wore panties.  We used to get pretty filthy so if we were playing in muddy or messy conditions, I'd make them strip down too so they wouldn't get in trouble.  That dog, Rex, went everywhere with us and was at one time a member of the police force so he was our protector.  It all came to an end when we went to school and they didn't.  Our worlds slowly slid apart but I've never forgotten our friendship and the memories of how all that separated us was the fact that two of us had lives of privilege while two were born into severe poverty.   Apart from that, as huge as that was, we felt like four peas in a pod for a couple of years.

As for Monrein, I like the old photos. There's something about the way old photographs look that I like better than color pictures. No matter what avitar you choose, they are all good.
