Triplets Torn Asunder
She died. Eleven months ago, our identical sister Lynn died. Our third, a fraternal brother, Louis, became deeply depressed. He did a psilocybin retreat in the Netherlands, followed by intense psychotherapy in Munich, Germany, trying to recover.

Watermelon Pickles
I love cucumbers! I love them plain, with salt, with or without the peel (wash well if the peel is on to remove the wax from store-purchased ones), in vinegar, or in sour cream with dill. Sometimes, I only peel part of the cucumber, slice it down the middle, add a touch of sea salt, and munch away. Usually, I do NOT peel them - fiber is fiber, right?

Big Friendly, BF7
This is for Belle's unofficial challenge Inside the Animal's Mind I don't know why humans think I smell. Odors from my kind are delicious, reflecting what we've eaten, the dirt in our fur, the intestines of our prey that we rub all over ourselves, and our excrement. Humans are the ones who stink. Females smell better than males, but sometimes, their acrid odor makes me sneeze; it seems to be once every change in the moon cycle.

Ivan
Written for Belle's Inside the Animal's Mind [an unofficial challenge] I don't like this new home in this glass box with humans walking by. I miss Larry and his mom and dad. I used to sleep with Larry, and he rode me around on his bike. They didn't like that I was breaking things in their house, so they put me in this see-through box. Breaking things wasn't done intentionally; it was because I was playing, and I'm stronger than Larry's dad.

Pushing the Bus In Kenyan Highlands
Africa holds my heart, and I cannot get enough of it. I was planning another trip for 2017, and friends wanted to come. Our third time in East Africa would be their first safari and voyage there. I selected a tour in Kenya that included two rescue places in Nairobi for October of that year.

Leopard Portrait
I have visited the socialist country of Tanzania three times over the last twelve years. The last trip, in 2023, was the longest and most thrilling. Our tour director was the incredible Maasai tribesman Robert Marks. Born in the Ngorongoro Crater, his mother died in childbirth, and he was raised by missionaries. Rather than growing up as a goat herder in the Crater, Robert became a Tanzanian medical doctor and is employed by NatGeo as a professional wildlife photographer. He even appeared on the Jack Hannah show, an episode I've seen.
