Do not be fooled by the diminutive size, as this creature can size-shift at will. Protractile claws (poky!), gecko-like microfilamented toes (sticky!), prehensile tails (grabby!). Glows in the dark (helpful for bedtime reading!) and can breathe (or hiccup!) fire when threatened. Remembers every word read by its human companion.
Weakness: Books. Snacks.

(Perhaps it’s related to the Chorkney...) I discovered this creature by running into its swaying beard during a game of ships and sharks.

In the middle of the concrete and asphalt of my city is a small nature reserve, in the middle of that is a duck pond, and in the duck pond for one glorious week was a river otter. There is nothing to fear from Otter, except his close scrutiny which gazes into your soul. You can watch him blissfully, but you will be left with questions, perhaps unanswerable. Where did he come from? Where is he going? Has he been trekking across the freeway and the sidewalks by night to get here? What sort of quest is he on? And will he ever return?]]> 2021-10-10 02:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hutchmoothomebound/otf8ndcvas1eox6j1641490716/wish/1804781629 juanlibro77 https://padlet.com/hutchmoothomebound/otf8ndcvas1eox6j1641490716/wish/1804788811 2021-10-10 02:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hutchmoothomebound/otf8ndcvas1eox6j1641490716/wish/1804788811 cindav66 https://padlet.com/hutchmoothomebound/otf8ndcvas1eox6j1641490716/wish/1805313772 we found it in the basement next to the dehumidifier and it is with god now.]]> 2021-10-10 12:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hutchmoothomebound/otf8ndcvas1eox6j1641490716/wish/1805313772 https://padlet.com/hutchmoothomebound/otf8ndcvas1eox6j1641490716/wish/1805473967 The Grey Fangs of the Garden are always on the hunt for our precious melons and sugarberries. ]]> 2021-10-10 14:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hutchmoothomebound/otf8ndcvas1eox6j1641490716/wish/1805473967 https://padlet.com/hutchmoothomebound/otf8ndcvas1eox6j1641490716/wish/1806055824 The Stinkimanti 

Will burn the inside of your nostrils with a smelly toxic fume that causes you to fall fast asleep. Once asleep, the stink mantis will spear you with its long red spear until you wake up. This leaves you itching the itch of all itches for days and weeks and maybe years. 

But beware! These freaky little bugs are a friend to gardeners. ]]> 2021-10-10 20:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hutchmoothomebound/otf8ndcvas1eox6j1641490716/wish/1806055824 spencerwi https://padlet.com/hutchmoothomebound/otf8ndcvas1eox6j1641490716/wish/1806227029 The Brook Babbler

When we say a brook can babble,
We're just repeating what we've heard
From our own linguistic forebears,
Who handed down that word,
And who were heirs of it themselves
In our shared Shakespearean will
From the eldest of their forebears, and those forebears' eldest still.

But.

Were we to trace this linden lexicon
Through this spoken-forest's trails
And seek the "who" that wise birds know, 
The one who's beckoned by the quails,

Then

Perhaps we'd meet the Oldest One, who called these streams by name,
Who gave them much to talk about as they called to Him the same.

The Oldest One, who set their course,
Whose song they learned to sing,
Whose nature is told by nature,
Though we may not hear its ring.

However dull our ears may grow, 
Their praise remains renewed;
It's sung still by each early snow,
And echoed by each dew.

If rocks cry out, is it such a shock
That desperate waters rise?
That noticing our dullard ears,
They seek instead our eyes?

And so, on rare occasion,
When "babble" is all we hear,
The Word declared by creation
Cuts through Babel's muddled ears.

One of her ears points straight up while the other flops anywhere but up. Her tail doesn’t wag back and forth, but in lopsided circles like an uncontrolled helicopter. Zoey has both an underbite AND overbite (she is in desperate need of braces) but she manages just fine, even smiling for pictures:) 
     Zoey likes to collect stray socks, gifting them to anyone who enters the house after a long day away. Her favorite pastime is gazing out of our windows in search of the neighborhood cat who prowls just out of reach.  Zoey seems to believe that she is an intimidating guard dog, and is not afraid of anything. I love her to death.
