Cohabitating on a small round blue planet with other beings of all shapes and sizes and species can only mean one thing: Every being is needed. (Even the beings with shells, oddly enough). Every being knows hardship and hope, obstacles and opportunities, failure and triumph. Every single being matters, which means every single being willContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Be the Change”

Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: When Life Hands You Potatoes
While some beings like to stay with their own species all the time, other beings may choose instead to keep company with different species.

Being Brave with Bruce: A Foot Up
It can be quite the adjustment to go from a mostly solitary life to living in the heart of an interspecies flock. Needless to say, making the transition can take some time. At first, you may be tempted to just hide, hide, hide. After all, it has (mostly) worked well for you so far….at leastContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: A Foot Up”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: A Beak-on of Hope
If there is one fact you can always count on in life, it is this: Someone, somewhere, is always out looking for lunch. This means the key to surviving (not to mention thriving) is not to attempt to vanquish all the predators in the world all at once. Rather, you just need to do aContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: A Beak-on of Hope”
Being Brave with Bruce: Mountain Climbing
Sometimes you might wake up and be really in the mood to do some mountain climbing. You are full of vim and vigor. Bring it on! You were born to summit.

Being Brave with Bruce: Sheltering in Place
There are moments in life where you are raring to go and life…well…isn’t. Maybe it is the height of the warm (hot) season and you couldn’t be more excited about looking for love, filling your belly and making your way in this small round blue world. Then suddenly you are told to do something calledContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Sheltering in Place”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Waffle Wingman
Live amongst the large featherless species for long enough and you will notice they have some very strange flocking rituals. Take the “wingman,” for example. This is an easy one to decode…or at least it should be. Wing + man. Clearly, this term refers to you. Yet the large featherless beings seem to think itContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Waffle Wingman”
Resting in Place with Malti: Wallowing Is Wonderful
Anyone who knows anything about relaxing (which is not the large shell-less beings, to put it mildly) knows that there is nothing like a good wallow. In fact, if you look up the word “wallow,” the textbook definition is to “lie relaxed.” Secondary definitions include “to keep cool” and “to avoid biting insects” – thisContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Wallowing Is Wonderful”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Reach Out and Bite Someone
Sometimes no matter what you do – or how cute you are – life simply refuses to do what you tell it to do. You say “scratch neck feathers.” It gives you a shower. You say “bring waffles.” It brings spinach. You say “spring migration.” It brings you instructions for sheltering in place. Sheesh. IfContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Reach Out and Bite Someone”
Resting in Place with Malti: Nose to Nose
When the large shell-less beings love each other, they like to do something called “dancing cheek to cheek.” Of course, when you happen to have a shell, this also means your ears and your cheeks are located in pretty much the same place, which can make hearing the dance beat tricky at best. (Never mindContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Nose to Nose”
