Take care of your Dragon

Always take good care of your dragon!
With proper care and feeding, your dragon will always look out for you!
Without proper care and feeding... well, good luck with that!

I think a dragon might make a good house pet (depending on size) keeping the house toasty warm perhaps? What do you feed dragons on Thomas, and how much do they eat?

Well, Nancy;
We know for sure, that they LOVE pie, and granny for making them that pie.
I think it just depends on each dragon's personal preferences.
Both of my girls have a love of Western Tamarack, but Douglas Fir and even pine will do in a pinch.
I have heard stories of Bad Dragons that ravage the countryside eating livestock and the occasional peasant...
But that was back before they came to the bargaining table and agreed to abide by "Roberts Rules of Order"
Since then reports of ravaging and incineration have become unheard of!

I recently came across creators of intricate terrariums. They're also boa breeders. They decorate them with a dragon head which hides a fogger, and the whole thing looks like a combination of sculpture, installation art and making a realistic animal habitat. Beautiful idea! Their designs are also largely automated which makes them easier to maintain. Some people make really picturesque cages, aviaries, terrariums, etc.! Here is an example: Dragon guarding Casterly Rock. With a boa or a lizard inside, this could be as close to keeping a dragon as one can get!

I made up a story to settle my children once. The dragon got pressed into service at the restaurant to cook the meals when the propane for the ovens ran out. He also helped to heat the water up for dish washing. He did get into trouble once when he turned the neighbour's cornfield into popcorn.

I'm sure I could find lots of uses for a pet dragon!

That would be awesome as a childrens' book - you could get some great illustrations!

This dragon looks to be very happy:

Is that one of Nicole's creations
?
Now that looks like a dragon that is easy to care for!

I grew up as a serial turtle owner. I always found them calm and agreeable but not affectionate or much interested in me. I did have one in my 20s, the last one I had actually, that, when I released it into my  grandparents' pond, swam a way out and then surfaced and turned to look at me for a few minutes as if asking "are you sure? You're really setting me free?" and I got the sense it was saying thank you and goodbye. But I know that was almost certainly all in my head.

From the comments above, it seems dragons are at the more doting and responsive end of the herpatological scale (hehe, scale). Still, reptiles were fun but I don't want to have to scoop dragon poop and I can't imagine it would be long before they got salmonella onto something I or my wife/kids ate. I'll stick with cats and dogs, or maybe a domesticated skunk since they're legal in my state.

It is! Somewhere, there's a thread all about it, including the little P doll, on the Giant's other shoulder. Nicole is a very talented lady!

Thank you all! ♥♥♥ And Anne did list the source for the image, which is Paul+Dragon Companion Set ♥. Years back, I thought it was a shame that there was no Paul Wheaton action figure. But, our Paul is too unique to be a normal action figure, he needed an all natural material Paul Wheaton Voodoo Action Figure!. And, of course, Paul needed a mighty dragon to help him in his plots for world domination!

More dragon stuff from one of my favourite drawing artists.
