Being little and cute means you naturally bring upliftment and happiness wherever you go. There is no need to dress it up – just your mere presence is enough. But sometimes your large featherless flock gets so happy and uplifted they want to do something special to celebrate how good they feel. At these times,ContinueContinue reading “Big Red Bow”

When you live with a flock, there is a certain etiquette to uphold. For instance, any flock member who has feathers automatically assumes “alpha” status and gets to select a personal featherless assistant. As well, the smallest flock member always gets first choice on new delicacies. And the flock member who is cutest represents theContinueContinue reading “Flock Etiquette”

In most featherless circles, there is a misconception that feathered beings are messy eaters. In fact, just the opposite is the case. Feathered beings are such neatnicks they can’t stand to have any detritus lingering – on their feet, feathers, beaks or anywhere. Such beings who are lucky enough to have quick, well-trained large featherlessContinueContinue reading “The Covert Fling”

If you are going to be a jellyfish, the box jellyfish is definitely the one you want to be. Sometimes called a “sea wasp,” the box jellyfish is able to take down large featherless beings (plus other, much tastier, prey) with a single fatal sting from its 5,000 stinging cells.

Big or small, short or tall, young or old, rich or poor, feathered or featherless, there is so much happiness to be found in this world. And since Monday is the most stressful day of the week for many featherless beings (on account of something called “work”), Pearl figures it is also the perfect dayContinueContinue reading “Pearl’s “Happiness Is….” (win a FREE BOOK!)”

Naps are very restorative. And if you live your life outside the public eye, you can nap whenever you want to. But if you are fetching and feathery – so much so that the paparazzi likes to follow you everywhere – getting in a good restful nap can feel more challenging. In this situation (while itContinueContinue reading “Naps with Paparazzi”

It isn’t every day that someone fetching and feathery releases his memoir. In a flock made up of featherless beings, there might be the tendency to stop mentioning it after a time, on account of modesty and decorum. But when you have feathers, you know modesty at this juncture is for the (um) birds. This isContinueContinue reading “The Bird & His Book”

When you are little and cute with fetching feathers, every day is a great day to be, well, you!
