Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Making Snow While the Sun Shines
Being covered in soft downy feathers practically guarantees you will be dodging the paparazzi for life. And while hiring a large featherless MommyGuard can keep the workload manageable, it may also bring with it some rather odd customs you have to get used to. For example, let’s say you live in the south. The sub-tropicalContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Making Snow While the Sun Shines”
Pearl, Malti & Bruce Now Have a Patreon!
Being an ambassador animal for your whole species takes a lot of hard work. Well, mostly it takes a lot of “cuteness,” but still. When you’ve got it, you’ve got to share it, and that means bringing your “A” game (or your “B” game if you happen to be Bruce) to each and every photoContinueContinue reading “Pearl, Malti & Bruce Now Have a Patreon!”
Happy Birthday Pearl & His Mama!
Yup. You guessed it (from the clever title to this blog post, no doubt). Someone small and feathery and very cute and his slavishly devoted mama just turned one year older. Ahem…..younger. Of course, in true flock tradition, today is a day for festivities. For feasting. For quality time with the whole flock, which includesContinueContinue reading “Happy Birthday Pearl & His Mama!”
Being Brave with Bruce: Warmer Days to Come
If you love to sleep, there is no better species to be than a box turtle. Talk about a sleep maestro!

Resting in Place with Malti: Little Tortle Bubble
Being small and slow and shelled, many other beings automatically assume you don’t know how to do tricks. Their eyes, always scanning the near horizon for things to see and do, pass right by you without a second look. Their loss. The truth is, not everyone has the eyes to see your smarts, your strength,ContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Little Tortle Bubble”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Rise and Shine
Into every day a little (or a lot) of uncertainty may fall. The same might be said of certain years. Yet each new sunrise brings with it another choice. You can tuck your soft downy head back under your soft downy wing. Or you can rise and shine to greet the day. The more enthusiasticContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Rise and Shine”
Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: With Parrot
When you are a flock mama, you know there are two methods to accomplish any task on the daily to-do list. The first way is “without parrot.” This way is expedient. Efficient. Quiet. And absolutely no fun. Guess what the second way is? Not surprisingly, “with parrot” is much cuter. It comes with free spontaneousContinueContinue reading “Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: With Parrot”
Being Brave with Bruce: Trust Does a Body Good
“Trust” isn’t a very popular concept in the greater food chain o’ life. In other words, it’s all one big happy until somebody gets eaten. But just because trusting others didn’t exactly come pre-installed in your survival skills 101 toolkit doesn’t mean you can’t learn how to trust when the moment is right. Let’s sayContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Trust Does a Body Good”
Resting in Place with Malti: A Couch Potato A Day
Just like each being has their own unique personality, so too does each day have its own unique way of being. Some days are oh-so-active days – all go, no stop, eat it all, check it all off the list. And then there are the other days. Thank goodness. You know it is going toContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: A Couch Potato A Day”
