Most beings, when they are little, will explore their world with their mouths. While Malti is no longer precisely “little,” she certainly is still young at only four years old, and her go-to exploration method is still to try to bite whatever it is she is interested in. To date, I’ve seen her try toContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Hiking”

Wednesday’s Precious Pearl Moments
When you are petite and precious and covered with soft downy feathers, you can forget all about privacy and personal space. Everyone wants to be near you….especially your doting large featherless assistant, who can’t seem to string two seconds together without grabbing the small rectangular flashing device and pointing it right at you.

Then there is the joy of realizing how much better home furnishings look with a little judicious “remodeling.” AndContinueContinue reading “Friday’s Better With Feathers”
Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share
Gratitude has many faces. Some of the most recognizable have feathers, of course, but gratitude can at times rock a far subtler look as well. For example, let’s say you work from home and you and your feathers share the casa’s workspace. On your side of the shared workspace is the (also shared) large reflectiveContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”
Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Biting
When Malti was a tiny tort, she had trouble even opening her mouth wide enough to chomp down on a lettuce leaf or carrot shaving. It was at the same time really cute and really nerve-wracking to watch her eating. Sometimes it felt like she couldn’t quite figure out how to move her head andContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Biting”
