After a long battle with repeated food strikes, despite what I offered him, how often I offered food, how many food cups I left around, Swyft has given up. I wont be getting anymore chameleons, I apparently don't have what it takes to care for them.
Swyft, your constant request to climb on me has made me disbelieve the belief that chameleons cannot feel emotions, or "like" and dislike a person. You made me feel that you wanted me every time I entered the room and you climbed up onto my hand, my arm, up to my shoulder and onto my head. I read about others being hissed at, striked at, and I felt very blessed that I received a friendly boy such as you. I'm sorry for whatever I did wrong, I don't know what that was and I would undo it all if I could. I am so sorry I lost you, that I failed you in some way that I never could figure out. I only promise that I wont get another chameleon now that I know the challenges.
“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.”
Swyft, I will never be the same.
