White Dog spent most of this grey day lounging and napping. But we finally have pictures of all the "critters" that live with us to share: Including Milo, our three-legged iguana who is over 4 feet long and who moved here with us from Chicago a decade ago. White Dog tries to play ball with Milo who is a free-roaming lizard but she has had no success.
Arvo, our bearded dragon is a happy-go-lucky little guy that sits on White Dog's window pillow and watches the neighborhood intently (when he is allowed out of his enclosure).
Tortuga, the Saharan spur-thighed tortoise is nearly a foot in diameter. "Turtle" was our niece, Christine's, homeschool project (about 4" across then). He is always interested in White Dog's chewies when he wanders so White Dog collects all of her toys on the couch in order to protect them.
The Sugar Gliders, Chuck and Isaac, are nocturnal and wake up right before White Dog goes on her goodnight walk. She waits patiently while they are fed and get a chance to jump around. (Isaac is the one with the bald spot, actually a scent gland. Chuck was neutered before hitting maturity so his gland never developed. White Dog watches over and protects all of us...which is sometimes a big task for one small American Eskimo.

White Dog, thank you so much for sharing your family with us. You sure do have alot of family members to watch over! Please tell your mom and dad that we really liked the pictures because we have always wondered what a sugar glider looked like.

We enjoy your blog so much!

I love the photos of your family! Thanks for taking them and sharing them with us. It's neat everyone gets along. So Milo is actually 4 feet long??? And he is a free-roaming lizard... does that mean he gets to roam around the whole house or in one particular room. I'd like to see a photo of you all enjoying a quiet night watching TV :-) That'd make for an interesting photo.

WOW that is some diverse family you have! It's a good thing you are there Siku to watch over all your family members!

Eskies are Very good family protectors (although we are thinking a 4 ft iguana may not need protection!)
