Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Groceries

Redfoot tortoises are very smart. Not only can they go head-to-head on touch screen computer tests with dogs, rats, mice, chimps, black bears and other warm-blooded species, but they can solve mazes with the right motivation (which is always treats, of course). If I ever forget this, all I have to do is wait untilContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Groceries”

Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share

If there is one game gratitude really loves, it is “hide n seek.” This game is so fun! What you do is, you find a being who is clearly feeling grumpy and un-grateful, and then you tiptoe up behind them and jump on them.

Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Edible Grasses

From time to time, I work with an animal communicator just to check in with each one of my interspecies flock members to make sure I’m doing a good job as their mama.

Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “Oh So Crispy”

All the covert ops training in the world can’t prepare you for the heart-racing, blood-pumping adrenaline rush of working a real live case.

After all, most beings just don’t have the nerves of steel and razor-sharp instinctsContinueContinue reading “Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “Oh So Crispy””

Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share

Just because gratitude is naturally humble and wise doesn’t mean it doesn’t still enjoy making an entrance. Knowing how to make just the right entrance at just the right moment can be especially useful when you encounter a really grumpy being who is just sure she won’t be feeling any gratitude today, thank you veryContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”
