Sometimes – and no matter how cute you might be – life just happens. You specifically ordered your day to go one way. It goes someplace else. As the flock “alpha,” of course you are not going to stand for this type of behavior. So you run after it. Shriek loudly at it. Give itContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Calling for Backup”

Being Brave with Bruce: Shades of Brave
If you are a being who has survived living in a hostile or scary or unsafe environment, other beings often label you as “brave.” And this is true. It takes a great deal of brave to survive losing your birth territory, being harassed by big hairy drooling fanged creatures, and getting passed from one homeContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Shades of Brave”
Resting in Place with Malti: Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
It doesn’t take much time cohabitating with an interspecies flock to notice there is one activity that is always at the bottom of everyone’s list. Waiting. No one likes it. It is annoying. Worse – it is boring. This is especially true for some of your flockmates (who may or may not have feathers andContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Good Things Come to Those Who Wait”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Be the Change
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”
Being Brave with Bruce: Sunny Side Up
No matter how hard you try to avoid it, there may be days when you just wake up feeling like the sun isn’t shining inside you. It is behind the clouds somewhere. Or taking a break. Or maybe it went on vacation. While sometimes this feeling passes quite quickly, at other times it may linger.ContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Sunny Side Up”
Resting in Place with Malti: Mud Rings
If there is one thing you learn quickly when living in an interspecies flock, it is that other species can have some pretty strange hobbies. Take the large shell-less species, for instance. “Getting dark” is clearly the universal symbol for “it’s bedtime already.” Yet when it gets dark outside, they like to stay awake andContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Mud Rings”
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. Not only does this give you a chance to learn unusual sayings and customs you might never otherwise have heard of, but it also shows you where you have something inContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: When Life Hands You Potatoes”
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. But then again, a mountain might arrive at just the wrong moment – such as during your winter brumation or when you are inContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Mountain Climbing”
