Yay! Congrats!
Thanks!
Congratulations!!!
He is 7 years old. I've had him for four years. (He's a rescue.)

- Thank you! Yes, I'm very excited. I've wanted a beardie for ages. We're suppose to get her towards the end of June! Your Cooper is so cute. His new haircut makes him look a little like my mini schnauzer, Harry.
