Princess, the iguana, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, January 29th, after a short battle with kidney disease. She was 16 years old and lived an adventurous life that was envied by all other iguanas. She loved to ride on her owners back while walking or bicycling & tubed down the river in Lava Hot Springs. Princess was a free spirit & roamed the house because she hated being caged up. She loved to shock unsuspecting drivers by riding across the dash of the car.
She spent most of her life as a security guard for the Switer Family back door, but in recent months before her death she made a career change and began modeling on KJZZ & KUTV. Her best work was modeling her "Mummy" & "Spider" costumes.
She was a great learner and attended the Pooh Bear Academy and received her Masters degree in scratching on the back door to be let in. All who knew her, were fascinated and instantly charmed by her friendly disposition.
She is survived by her owner Wendy, her best friends, Bear & Tyger & is preceded in death by her friend Daxter the bird.
Graveside services were held Friday, January 30 in Kaysville, UT. She was buried in the Switzer Pet Cemetery, next to the master bedroom window.
***I am going to miss her terribly. For those of you who know me well, knew that she was my "baby". I wrote the obituary in hopes that finding a little humor in the loss is easier than crying any more. Thanks to my sweet friends & family who expressed their sympathy, sent flowers (yes, my neighbor actually did LOL) and put up with my crying over a lizard.
