I have a soft spot for the animals most maligned. The wolves. The sharks. The pesky pigeons and scary bats. (Notable exceptions include ticks and mosquitos. Sorry.) Everyone’s just trying to make their way and, well, it’s a jungle out there!

There goes that snapper
with the bad reputation,
dirt she can’t hide from
Hah. I had a teeeensy turtle given to me when I was a toddler (which my mother promptly confiscated, boo, but I literally might have done a Fudge and swallowed that bad boy) and I cannot look at any of them – even the ill-tempered snappers – without heart eyes.
OMG I AM DYING RIGHT NOW
