A snoozy Bruce pops his head out! 👀🐢 .... This vid is from a few days back when I was racing to reassemble the outdoor tortoise habitats ahead of the rain. I was just rounding the finish line, ready to reattach the tops and head inside for a SHOWER and a nap already, when all of a sudden.... shower forgotten, nap forgotten. .... The sight of my precious brave rescued boy, comfy and secure in his new space, healthy and able to resume hibernating in total safety - well it’s why I do it. All of it. Turtles and tortoises are a crazy amount of work and $$$ - to do it right, the way they deserve. But it is a drop in the bucket compared to the rewards. I’m getting all emotional as I type this. 🙏🐢🧡 .... #bruce #boxturtle #brave #turtlerescue #terrarium #rescuepets #savetheturtles #turtlelivesmatter #savethemall

Yoga with Pearl, anyone? 😂🦜🙏 .... Pearl and I have been doing #yogawithadriene for the last 2 years straight. As Adriene so often reminds us, “yoga works!” I was diagnosed with thyroid disease yup, 2 years ago, and that’s when I found @adrienelouise and her “find what feels good” philosophy on YouTube. Now we are members of her @fwfglife community as well and every morning we roll out the yoga mat to the sounds of excited shrieking. 🦜👀 .... This year’s New Year’s 30-day yoga journey is called “Home.” It is our 3rd time starting the new year this way and we love it. This year it worked so well I am now way behind in the 30 days because my practice was interrupted by a sudden surprise actual move to a new HOME! .... Soooo....yoga works. It really does. We LOVE our new home. It is so much better for our little flock in every way. And we love #ywahome yoga for making the move with us every step of the way. Grateful. 🙏💕 .... #pearl #cockatiel #cutebirds #love #feathers #fwfglife #ywahome #grateful #yoga #freeyoga #parrots #thyroidhealing #yogawithpets

Build it....and she will try to eat it. 🌱🐢 .... It’s far from fancy (yet) but it is fully enclosed and secure and that makes the flock MommyGuard very happy. .... Of course, Malti immediately headed for the buffet....and then promptly managed to turn herself over on her back by trying to climb up a brick. .... And so we begin the testing phase, looking for danger zones, uneven terrain (which Bruce navigates with grace and ease and Matti, well, doesn’t), extracting undesirable green beings, adding new safe foliage and generally sprucing the place up. You can’t see it in this vid but this new space is HUGE. It wraps around the back and has a completely different vibe in the back. More to come. Much more. Right after the resident outdoor tortoise area builder takes a long NAP. 😴 .... #malti #redfoot #tortoise #turtles #terrarium #terrariums #habitat #thedodo #outdoorlife
