Lydia played games of fetch and hid a piece of meat and have Eris go find it. The little dragon was so happy when the morsel was found. Lidia wanted the grayling to learn to trust his nose as he explored.<br/>The pygmy Zilla slept peacefully as breaking through the egg took all her energy. The graying would have bouts of playing by himself discovering his wings, running, playing with the ball, and eating.<br/>Lidia realized Eris did not have water. She poured water into a small bowl and placed a towel under the bowl. Eris had to show him how to drink and what the litter box was for. Lidia placed Eris in the litter box several time. Each time he shook his talons because he did not like them dirty. Eris learned quickly and Lidia treated him with bits of meat.<br/>She fixed sausage, rice and beans with apple crisp and homemade bread for dinner. Lidia placed Eris on the dragon bed before she ate. "You had your dinner as you played. Stay here while Momma eats. No begging."<br/>The little blue dragon made clicks and chirps. Then as Lidia sat and ate her dinner. Eris would get off his bed, watch her, and whine at his Momma. Lidia stayed patient and placed him back on his bed. "Stay."<br/>This she did several times until he learned the word. Is was worth doing because staying in place would save his life and she did not want him to beg for food ever.
