We would have found them sooner, but they were really good at hiding.

I can’t decide if the birdies are arguing about something or just having a chat around the water cooler (or bird warmer, as the case may be). Maybe discussing the latest episode of Dancing with the Starlings….
Bad news: Sponges and sea stars aren’t actually pals
Rather than chilling together under the sea, Mah suspects a different reason for the creatures’ closeness: Sea stars like to feed on sponges.
Just in time for a Spongebob Halloween horror movie…
This one is actually Maddie, from Maddie on Things.
This is so perfect.
I’ve seen this with the caption “Appalachian Fiddlehound.”
😄 Love it!
🎶 Puppi Longstocking is comin’ in to your world…🎶
Not freckle-faced or red-haired, but will definitely throw your life into a whirl.
(Okay, I’m dong. Probably.)
(That was supposed to say “I’m done.” But I might be a dingdong, apparently…)
Omg! Puppy Longstocking. 😭 So cute, it hurts.
Those birdies are up to somethin’ alright!
I saw the tiger cat yesterday–amazing story! Love love love the Squash kittens, and the bodega for cats, and the Spongebob story. Those birbs are so funny.
Folks, I’m trying to retrain my body for left-handed typing and mousing. It’s exhausting. I’ll probably get better at it only the day before the splint comes off.
Ugh…I am screwed if I ever can’t use my right hand. I am so not left-handed.
Sounds painful.
Hopefully you can use the dictation feature for some of these.
These ads for the new Practical Magic movie are getting out of hand, lol. Besides what could three budgies conjure up? More bird seed? A extra large mirror?
They are complaining about the quality and quantity of treats, how the bath water is always the wrong temperature, how the slave is never around when needed, how the slave never leaves them alone, whose turn it is to poop on the slave, why they’re never allowed outside, why they don’t want to go outside, whose turn it is to suddenly fly around the room and scare the slave, why the budgies next door never visit, why the budgies next door come over so often, who pooped in the food dish AGAIN, why the millet sticks are always too long or too short, whose turn it is to upset the water dish, who gets to play dead next, what’s the best way to get the slave’s attention off the talk thing and back to them, whether scaring the slave with pretend regurgitation is worth the loss of food, who chose the last song, what to sing when the slave’s favourite song comes on, who gets to poop on the TV screen, who gets to chew on the internet wires…
🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sounds about right. I used to have a Senegal parrot, so take these complaints and times it by 10. 🤣🤣 No wonder the conjuring is taking so long, they have a lot to vent about.
lol…I figured you’d be able to translate.
hahaha! Love this.
That new cat is gorgeous. Like a house sized jaguar.
If the hitherto unknown-to-science cat is fully grown…HOW BIG ARE THE KITTENS?
New cat! We need more of this.
