In the world of the large shell-less beings, there is a saying. “Family is the flock you choose.” Or something like that. But what many beings don’t realize is that your family flock members don’t all have to be from your same species. In fact, you can populate your family o’ choice with any speciesContinueContinue reading “Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: Family We Choose”

Being Brave with Bruce: Looking Up
Low to the ground is a very interesting place to live. There is so much to see and do! When you keep your eyes on the ground, you will be the first to spot that plump and perfectly slow escargot arriving just in time for your noon repast. Fixing your eyes on the low horizonContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Looking Up”
Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: the Good of the Whole
Being a flock mama means getting used to seeking the good of the whole. Here, it doesn’t actually matter what species your VIP clients happen to be. Your own species, a different species, all sorts of species – the common denominator is that their needs, preferences and wants always comes first. Let’s say one ofContinueContinue reading “Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: the Good of the Whole”
Being Brave with Bruce: Use Your Box
There is something to be said for using your voice. Then again, there is also something to be said for using your box. In other words, it isn’t always the right time to stand up and be counted…especially if what’s doing the counting looks hungry. Just as there is a time to look for ladyContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Use Your Box”
Being Brave with Bruce: Claws of Cuteness
There are few things in life that a heaping helping of “cuteness” can’t solve. But when one of those few things finally happens along, it is good to have a backup plan. Take the present-day global band of microscopic marauders, for example. They are known to be just as susceptible to cuteness as anyone else.ContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Claws of Cuteness”
Being Brave with Bruce: Box Turtle Booty Shot
When you look good, you know it. You can feel it – deep in your gut. You can see it in the eyes of other (envious) beings as they pass by. You can know it by how you are always on the menu (even after you have submitted multiple requests to be removed). But thereContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Box Turtle Booty Shot”
Being Brave with Bruce: Looking Up
Spend enough time as a participating member in the food chain o’ life and you will find plenty of reasons to keep your eyes on the ground and your business to yourself. In other words, if no one knows you and no one sees you, no one can eat you. But that kind of lifeContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Looking Up”
Being Brave with Bruce: Simply Irresistible
There is no doubt that some beings pop out cuter than others. It doesn’t seem fair, but there it is. However, being perched at the very tippy top of the “cuteness chain” isn’t all sunshine and lady box turtles. It can also get you plated and served faster than you can say “your order isContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Simply Irresistible”
Being Brave with Bruce: Love You No Matter What
Living the wild life can be perilous, for sure. Perilous enough to tempt you to leave your wild days behind you for good. Yet here, it can be equally tempting to assume that by changing where or even how you live, you will never again land in a sticky situation. What is that they say?ContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Love You No Matter What”
Being Brave with Bruce: Window of the Soul
The decision to join an interspecies flock is not one to be taken lightly. There will be challenges. For sure. Take communication, for example. You won’t be able to have any – at least not at first. Because of this, every single aspect of flock life will seem to proceed at a glacial pace, withContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Window of the Soul”
