Shout out to this treat of a book. 🐴Nothing serious, just wholesome fun and the truest anthropomorphisation of a pony I have ever read. Loved every minute of it. Highly recommend it! 🐴🐴🐴🐴

The cats had their annual vet check/vaccine and they are both fine 🤩 what a relief!
Last year, we had to extract a lot of teeth due to plaque and gingivitis which is apparently common for this breed of cat

Neural crest cell development is sooo fascinating. It’s interesting that there are now proto-domesticated raccoons. We can observe self domestication of these animals in real time 🤓
