Occasionally your large featherless assistant might take it into her (clearly empty) head to add to your little family. When this occurs, an adjustment period is sure to follow. Although the adjustment period often becomes slightly easier once you confirm the new family member is much less pretty than you are. If the new family memberContinueContinue reading “Day 219: Terrapin!”

The “reflection” may be one of life’s best inventions. This is especially true for those beings (mostly the ones with feathers) who happen to possess particularly pretty reflections. For these beings, every reflection is a chance to gain new insights about the origin, nature, and purpose of prettiness. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl Cutts

When you are petite with fetching grey feathers, the crush of fans can sometimes be overwhelming. This is when having a “Mommyguard” can really come in handy. Your Mommyguard is highly trained to interpret your sometimes cryptic communications – for instance, which shriek means “I want a waffle!” and which shriek means “My neck feathers itch!” AnContinueContinue reading “Day 217: Mommyguard”

One of the great things about having feathers (versus no feathers) is an automatic ability to sense how your time should best be spent. For instance, let’s say you are out foraging for your lunch, when all of a sudden you spy….prettiness. Everyone knows that prettiness makes all beings happier. Ergo, the more prettiness there is inContinueContinue reading “Day 216: Saint Prettiness”

When you have feathers, sometimes the large featherless beings think they can hide the preparation of delicacies from you. Luckily you have something (well many things) they don’t. One of those things just happens to be a healthy helping of “ESDP” (Extra Sensory Delicacy Perception). For instance, there is the presence of the plates, theContinueContinue reading “Day 215: Extra Sensory Delicacy Perception”

Being born small and grey with fluffy soft feathers means you’ve never known what it is like not to be cute. In fact, being cute comes so naturally you often don’t even realize how useful it really is! For instance, when the large featherless being is dining and you happen to spy one of yourContinueContinue reading “Day 214: A Very Cute Diner”

Last fall there was a film called “Now You See Me.” Even though it had some big stars and got good reviews, it could have been so much better. For instance, replacing the featherless stars with stars who have feathers would have upped both the visual appeal and also the suspense level. As well, instead ofContinueContinue reading “Day 213: Now You See Me….”

Whether you have feathers or you don’t have feathers, every being has their favorites. For instance, you might have a favorite food…..say, waffles. While some (featherless) beings might hide the true depth of their feelings for their favorite food, when you have feathers you are also wise enough to know that allowing others to witnessContinueContinue reading “Day 212: How to Bring Joy to the World”

Having a large featherless assistant can be helpful in many ways. For instance, if you have your assistant kill (and toast) your prey for you, you don’t have to do as much time-consuming foraging at lunch time. But this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still exercise caution when approaching fresh prey. (After all, since you areContinueContinue reading “Day 211: Approaching Prey”

When hiring one of the large featherless beings to be your assistant, it helps if you share dining preferences. For instance, if both of you like the crunchy-chewy cheesy white things, you can share snacks. As a bonus, snack-sharing can also free up more of your assistant’s time to help you in other areas (since sheContinueContinue reading “Day 210: Cheesy Popcorn”
