Was it someone or something that blew him up or is that something he does? That does not sound pleasant at all and quite horrifying the idea of the blowing up part. I'm glad to hear he has not blown up around here.
Yes, I'm not sure anyone wants to worry about cleaning or stepping into dragon poop. I'd love to meet him, it's rather interesting you rebuilt him.
That does sound much better the not having to wait part. I'd like to go during that time then.
