Comfort Creatures

Ella was trapped in Scotland for longer than expected, so we will be back with our regular animal content next week. We wanted to remind everyone that we are doing our Read-A-Long this month! We'll be reading The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune! The livestream for the first half of the book (up to chapter 11) will be on Sunday, September 14th! We hope you can all join!

While we do love chatting about how gorgeous certain creatures are -- check out our crossover episode with the gang from Reading Smut if that sounds like a bit of you -- today we mean hot as in temperate. Toasty. Real life phoenixes, if you will. Alexis teaches us about bugs in balmy climes and Ella explains that when people say "camels store water in their humps" they don't mean they attach straws to their humps and have a drink like hikers. Who knew? Plus a Ready Pet Go from Shannon, Vesper and Percy (a great name). 

Don't forget, September will be our Read-A-Long month! We'll be reading House of the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune! Get your hands on the book now, and we'll loop you in with our schedule soon!

We're not discussing scouse boys with funny hair in the '60s (greatest band of all time etc etc yes we know) but we ARE talking about June bugs, Ancient Egyptian amulets and the existential question of life and death. Beetles, folks! Beetles! We also have an excellent Ready Pet Go from Aly and the unruly mob! As ever, we want to hear from you, so do get in touch with your thoughts, feelings and animal anecdotes.

We're taking a break next week because Ella is heading off to do her best chipmunk impression, but exciting news - September will be our Read-A-Long month! We'll be reading House of the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune! Get your hands on the book now, and we'll loop you in with our schedule soon!

Nothing in the ocean should be bigger than a Megladon or a Blue Whale. You heard it here first: we're dying on this hill. And did you know that Zebra sharks can be partial to a belly rub? All this plus talk of banana-sized teeth, hidden mouths and more Titanic hot takes on this week's ep!

Not to alarm you but volcanoes are a real thing. Yeah. We know. This week we discuss how they contributed to the existence and potentially the extinction of our favourite pre-history pals and also wonder WTH is happening at Yellowstone (probably nothing but maybe a little something?) We also chat Millions of Cats and have a Ready Pet Go from Rowan and Trixie!
