Being low to the ground and leisurely about dining gives you plenty of time to observe. For example, there are lots of beings who enjoy lunching on greens. Although some are quite odd. For example, many of these beings have hooves, horns or even curly fur that make them look just like fluffy clouds onContinueContinue reading “Day 347: Cold Blooded Clover Chomper”

Day 344: Tortoise Cuddles
Some beings are simply born for comfort. While others of their kind might gravitate towards more rustic accommodations, well, when you are born to life a life of luxury you know it. You own it.

Day 341: A Deep Forest Tortoise
Setting up a household that includes flock members from different species can very naturally bring up some differences of opinion. Say one flock member is small and feathery.

But then say another flock member is round with a shellContinueContinue reading “Day 341: A Deep Forest Tortoise”

Day 332: Redfoot Resting Face
When you are born with a shell on your back, you can look forward to a lot of resting. A LOT of resting. After all, there is no need to work out or exercise – you do that every time you get up! And lugging around that heavy shell while foraging guarantees “calories in, caloriesContinueContinue reading “Day 332: Redfoot Resting Face”
Day 329: The Tortoise Door of Possibility
For beings who are lucky enough to be born with shells, the structures commonly known as “doors” are largely superfluous. Want to go in? Just pull all your (very cute) appendages inside you and you are in. Ready to come back out? Just stick out your (precious and perfect) arms, tail and head and youContinueContinue reading “Day 329: The Tortoise Door of Possibility”
Malti’s Munchies
Malti LOVES to eat. She wasn’t picky when I first brought her home, but as she grows she is discovering more about what she likes best and least. This has made providing a nutritionally balanced diet a touch more challenging for her mommy. Ideally, at least half her diet should consist of fruits and veggies.ContinueContinue reading “Malti’s Munchies”
