One day might be bubbly, zesty, all about celebrating and snacking and socializing. The next day might be totally different, clogged up withContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: the Chill Zone”

Resting in Place with Malti: Letting the Love In
When you first pop out the top of your small round white escape pod, you get so much attention. So much love. Everyone “oohs” and “aahs” over how cute you are, how pint-sized and perfect. You get lots of lap time. Photo moments. The freshest and best of everything. Then you get bigger. And bigger.ContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Letting the Love In”
Resting in Place with Malti: A Raspberry A Day
There are days when everything just flows. You keep to your set schedule. Those check-marks next to all those to-do list items keep piling up. You feel on top of it all. And then there are the other days. You know the ones. You want them to end but they can’t seem to get enoughContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: A Raspberry A Day”
Being Brave with Bruce: A Fresh New View
Routine can be comforting. You wake up, pop open your box, slowly stretch out your (adorable, yellow-dotted) front legs, back legs, tail, head. You soak up some rays as usual, then head out to forage up your tasty breakfast. And so it goes, one day following another. Until one day you start to wonder ifContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: A Fresh New View”
Being Brave with Bruce: Best Laid Plans
Plans are good. In fact, plans are great. Or at least they are great until they stop working. Just like there is something to be said for planning ahead, strategizing, sticking to the tried and true, so too is there a place for mixing things up when your best laid plans have clearly made otherContinueContinue reading “Being Brave with Bruce: Best Laid Plans”
Being Brave with Bruce: All Kinds of Brave
As any being who has ever been rescued knows, being brave is definitely an inside job.

Resting in Place with Malti: Shell Deep
When you are born with a shell on your back (and your front, for that matter) that is often all other beings see when they look at you. To them, you look like a rock on legs. (Although to be fair, to some of them you also look like a tasty rock on legs.) ButContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Shell Deep”
Resting in Place with Malti: the Friends We Make
There is a reason there are so many beings on this small round blue and green planet. This way, everybody can have a friend. Not all beings are destined to get along. Some are just too hungry – every friend they meet turns into room service. Some are too sleepy – you start the meet-and-greetContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: the Friends We Make”
Resting in Place with Malti: Savor the Sweet Stuff
Sometimes the best thing about a day is that you get to wake up for it. In other words, no one sitting one rung higher up on the food chain o’ life successfully orders you for breakfast that morning. So you go out, forage around, have a wallow, have a nap, forage some more, goContinueContinue reading “Resting in Place with Malti: Savor the Sweet Stuff”
