RIP Little Bearded Dragon

One of my grandsons has had a pet bearded dragon named Diesel as a pet for several years. Our daughter used to take pictures of it, alter them, and then post them on Facebook for fun.
Recently, the bearded dragon became very ill. They took him to the vet who recommended they try hand feeding it, since it wasn't eating.
Sadly, despite all their efforts, Diesel died. They took it back to the vet to be cremated. They are a little sad about losing him. I thought I would post a photo my daughter altered of Diesel, looking very stylish and relaxed in imaginary sunglasses!

@DeborahDiane That's how I like to think of all my animals who have passed ... off in some Pet Heaven doing whatever it was they loved to do most.
