Bucket Trick

When I saw this bucket, I was enthusiastic.

I envisioned some tasty treats being inside it.

When I looked, it held nothing but some dried twigs.

I even looked under the bottom of bucket to see if the humans had hid some food there.

Humans can be sneaky sometimes.

They may think a new bucket provides me with an “enrichment” activity, but, in my opinion, not including some food is mean.

I don’t appreciate their Bucket Trick.

Cattleheart

I think many butterflies have odd names.

The red patches on the hind wings of the Cattleheart Butterfly remind some people of a cow’s heart. Maybe that’s the origin of the name.

Warthog Beauty

Stop staring at me. I can’t help the way I look.

From my perspective, you’re the funny-looking one with that smooth skin and short face.

And, where are your tusks?

Let’s put it this way, in my neighborhood, you wouldn’t win any beauty contests.

Still, we can be friends.

Someone once told me, “Beauty is as beauty does.”
