For a wild rescued box turtle, Bruce can be surprisingly social. Right from the start, he was keen to interact – on his terms. His terms meant lots of staring, plenty of running around on the floor back and forth, and occasionally coming to stand on top of my feet. During his first week withContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Safety Checks”

Friday’s Better With Feathers
Feathers make everything better. For starters, you no longer need your alarm clock to get up in the morning. Also, victuals are more delectable….if there are any left by the time you get to try them. 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
Not surprisingly, gratitude likes to hang out with beings that enjoy its company. After all, it is easier to be grateful – and to stay that way – when you surround yourself with other beings who also eagerly cultivate the companionship of gratitude. But not all beings do this.

Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Grass
In Malti’s last post here, we talked about her lukewarm interest in the food that should be her main dietary staple – dark leafy greens. But truthfully, that all changes once Malti is out on the lawn, or really in any place where the greenery is designed to be decorative more than edible. Take ryeContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Grass”
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. But whoContinueContinue reading “Wednesday’s Precious Pearl Moments”
Monday Happys: A Swift Nip
Big or small, short or tall, young or old, rich or poor, feathered or featherless, there is so much happiness to be found in this world. And since Monday is the most stressful day of the week for many featherless beings (on account of something called “work”), Pearl figures it is also the perfect dayContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: A Swift Nip”
Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Hay
When I was little, I thought hay was for horses. Later on I learned hay is also for guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and sheep. Now I know that hay can be for chickens and cows too (to roost on and eat, respectively). But never in a million years did I suspect a box turtle mightContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Hay”

Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: First Earthworm!
It’s never been any secret that Bruce, our little flock’s rescued box turtle member, is an avid hunter. Which makes sense, considering that when our paths first crossed, he was foraging for his dinner in the suburban “wild” and was very, very hungry. Malti, on the other hand…..this little princess has never missed a meal.ContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: First Earthworm!”
