Tweet, Twitter! I know you can’t join me unless you have a pair of wings you can put on. You don’t? Oh, that is sad, but I won’t be long. I am going to fly around and see what I can find that is interesting. I have decided to take up watercolour painting, and I need inspiration.

Maybe I will find a flower that I would like to paint, or maybe one of the nests has baby birds in it that would be fun to depict on canvas. A bird has to stretch their wings and imagination now and then. Tweet! See you soon.

Join me in shenanigans, tomfoolery, and pranks. April Fool’s Day, everypet should expect some tricks to be played, as long as they are in the spirit of good fun.

I am a special duck that embodies all the silliness of the day. The bells on my hat are the symbol that I am here to amuse you.

I've only just got my fur! Isn't it a beautiful shade of grey? I'm very small and the world is just a little bit too big and scary at the moment, but if you just give me a cuddle I'm sure I'll be all right.

“Eek! A mouse! There's a mouse in the house! Quick! Run!”

But wait! I’m just an itty bitty baby! And super cute to boot! Please don't leave me alone outside, as there are lots of animals that would like to eat me! And please please don’t put me in a habbi with Scaredy Cat, because he terrifies me!

I promise not to grow up into one of those horrible rodents that runs up your leg or gnaws their way into your packets of grain. Just make sure my living space is clean, and provide me with food, and I'll provide you with all the love you need! But if you don't like that idea, I can just sleep the day away in the corner here, and sneak a little food to nibble on when you’re not looking?

For generations, my family has had a lush head of luxurious feathers...so don't call me bald, it simply can't be true! Actually, my name comes from pie-bald, an old English word that means white-headed, so I can assure you, my lovely plumage remains intact, no matter what some may say. At one time I was endangered but my numbers have been growing, thanks to conservation efforts. I may be majestic and noble, a symbol well-known throughout America...but I admit, I'm very sensitive about the misguided notion that I have a receding hairline.

This proud symbol combines the national bird, the majestic bald eagle, and the colors of the flag of the United States of America. The bald eagle isn't actually bald, it just looks that way due to the white feathers on its head, which are in contrast to the color of their body. Eagles are powerful fliers and have been viewed as symbols of strength since ancient times. They live in tall, old-growth trees in close proximity to water, and can be found across most of North America. May both the bald eagle and the American flag ever fly high above our land.

You can tell by the glint in my eye and the tilt of my head that I am very curious and perhaps a little mischievous. Climb aboard and hang onto my mane and I will transport you into a magical land of fun and frolicking. We can strut proudly about or plop onto a magic carpet and travel among enchanted forests. In fact, we can go anywhere your imagination wants to take us and just think of the fun we can have.

Last seen on planet Zinnia, imagine our surprise when word came down the line that a small colony of ultra-rare Earthly Fleurpets had been found flourishing on the darkside of Candy Mountain. As you might remember, fleurpets grow in clusters and are rather chatty little things, always eager to greet the light of morning and throw their petals and leaf-dressed arms wide open. To best care for your fleurpet, we recommend at least two of the same, with lots of cheery sunshine and the occasional nourishing rain.

Hey, speak up sonny. I can't hear as good as I used to. What you calling me? Balding? Well, you young whippersnapper you! I could show you a thing or two. Back in the day, I could see a fish swimming in the pond from way-y-y-y up high in the sky and swoop down and grab it in the blink of an eye. What, did I hear you right? Now you're calling me four-eyes? Didn't your momma tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, to keep yer mouth shut? Younguns these days just need to learn to respect their elders. If I had talked to my pa like that he would've grounded me for a week; and you know how much we birds hate that. No sirree, you would never have caught me back-talking my ma and pa! I love flying too much. Speaking of flying, a little birdie told me I could find some nicer eagles in that tree over yonder, so off I go. And I do hope you straighten up and fly right someday.

When you think of a skunk, what is the first thing that comes to mind? I knew it. No, I am not stinky. I only use my amazing scent to scare away anyone who wants to see how I taste; you would do the same, right? No one would be happy about some strange creature coming up to take a nibble of them.

I love to romp around in the flower fields, rolling around in a sunny patch, as I look for fruits, berries, and nuts to fill my tummy. If you have fruits in your garden, I would love to be friends, and we can spend the sunny days playing tag and gathering nuts to have a picnic.

Hahahehehahahahe! Did I startle you? Did you think I was a human laughing? No, just me, the Kookaburra. Now the question to ask is, was I laughing, or is this the way my call sounds? I would hate for you to not be able to join me in a good laugh, which I enjoy as much as any pet. Alas, this time I was calling to see if there were any more Kookaburra in the area.

I am a cat who can fly, an owl who has nine lives. I am an Owlcat who can climb a tree, roost in its branches, fly to the next tree and always find the sunniest places for another nap. With a tail to wrap around my nose to keep it warm, ears that hear every sound and eyes that won’t miss a single movement. Am I a new type of animal or one you have just never met before?

A wiggle and a walk, a wiggle and a walk. There is nothing to see here. I am but a leaf waving in the wind.

Did I fool you? As a Chameleon, I walk with jerky movements and a rocking motion. This is to fool any predator into thinking I am a leaf. Pretty clever. I can also change colour depending on my mood, temperature, and health. I don't suddenly think to myself, I would like to be pink or yellow today.

I would like to be friends with you, and I always think it is nice to share something you like with a new friend. I like bugs and worms to dine on. What about you, what is your favourite like?

Tweet, twitter, tweet, tweet! Hello, we meet again. This? Oh, I am just trying on an eggshell I found. If I add some flowers, it will make a great spring hat—don’t you think? It will certainly work until Bob creates his new hat design.

I am sorry, I don’t think there is an eggshell big enough to make you a hat too. We could try to weave some leaves and flowers together to make a nice circlet that you could wear.

How about we go to town and get some popcorn? I know of a stall that has the best popcorn.

Baked to perfection, these unusual bunny shaped buns shocked their baker when they came out of the oven hopping hot. While the baker loved having the attention-grabbing buns around the bakery, they were shocked to find the buns were baking new buns! Soon the bakery was overrun, and now the baker is giving away as many bun buns as they can before they're baked out of house and bakery.

I know who this is. This is a bear all dressed up in a bunny costume. It seems that this bear really wanted to join in the fun of hiding eggs for Easter. I think that any pet who would like to should be able to participate in that particular fun. After all, the more hidden eggs, the more fun and eggs for the seekers.

Look how cute the bear is, a fluffy bunny costume with room for the bear’s ears to stick out so they can hear what is going on, and it even comes with a basket.

If you catch a flash of long ears on Easter, you will not be sure if it is this little bear or the Easter bunny. What fun!

Zoom! Beep-beep!

Careful, mind how you go.

Ever since Bunny got their shiny new, all extras included, pink Vespa, Bunny has been zooming around town, zipping around corners, beeping and waving to every pet they pass.

Since the new Vespa is so quick and gets unbelievable mileage per carrot, yes, this Vespa runs on carrot power, Bunny has offered a delivery service to all the pets in PnF land, with a guarantee that the package will be delivered in five minutes or you do not have to pay. Such a deal. I wish, though, that Bunny would slow down around those corners.

Just…let…me…get…my…legs…! There we go. Sorry, I am a young giraffe, and sometimes my legs go in different directions. It can take me a few minutes to gather them up—so they are going in the same direction. I don’t suppose you have that problem; two legs must be much easier to control, and your legs are not as tall as mine.

I am pleased to meet you. I am trying to learn new dance steps; someone said dancing brings joy. It is also a great way to train your legs to find the beat. Dancing can help with balance, too. I need help in that department.

So, do you want to go for a walk? I am feeling snackish, and I know where there are some nice Acacia trees over that way. Oh, no, the thorns don’t bother me. There are some berries there that you may enjoy.

Oops! There go my legs again. Thump. Well, this is a pickle; it is harder for me to get up; if you would give me a hand. There, all set, off we go.

This love bug is so cute you will want to give it a little bop on the nose. Ah! Love bugs don’t have a nose. Well then, you can gently pet its little head.

Bringing you a message of love---so much better than being shot with a love arrow. This little love bug has hearts on its body and not stars but hearts in its eyes and little hearts on the end of its antennae. An irresistibly cute little chap.

Tweet, twitter, tweet, tweet! Oh hello! Did you hear my song? Do you like it? I woke up, and the sun was peeking over the horizon, so I wanted to sing it a song to let it know I was happy to see it. Everyone likes to know when you are happy to see them.

Chirp! I am happy to see you too. This is a lovely branch, and it grows from a most impressive tree. When I tuck my head into my feathers to sleep at night—I feel quite safe. No, I don’t fall off while sleeping; see my little feet? They hang onto the branch, and I am quite secure. Oh, you brought me some seeds, how very kind of you; shall we sit and watch the sun rise into the sky while munching on these seeds?

Spotted Seals and Harbour Seels are closely related and even share some habitats but have different biology and habits. The Spotted Seal, also known as Larga, is found on the ice and in the waters of the North Pacific Ocean and adjacent seas.

Hey, I see you there. You are going to get cold. I was diving down and looking for some tasty shrimp. Are you doing some ice fishing? I see you have a bucket; I don’t need one of those, I eat whatever I catch right away.

This is nice, sitting on this ice floe, you with your campfire roasting the fish you caught, and me with my raw cod, which by the way, is delicious.

Have you ever been diving? I can dive 300 m (980 ft). It is a whole other world down there and so peaceful. Maybe you would like to join me if you get one of those things that allow you to breathe underwater, we can explore my favourite areas under the sea.

Haha, that was a great joke. Here is one for you. Where does a fish keep his money? At a riverbank! I love jokes about fish. I know a lot about fish and where to catch the best ones.

If you get into your little rowboat, we can visit one of my favourite coves and look for some herring. Then we can have a picnic on the shore, and you can tell me what you like best about the ocean.

Oh my bear-y love, will you be mine? Until the end of time? Say you will! My heart flutters every time you're near! I DO!

Oh my bear-y love, will you be mine? Until the end of time? Say you will! My heart flutters every time you're near! I DO!

Comment vas-tu? How are you? Oui, I am French. I am a French macaron. You know, macarons have been made in Venetian monasteries since the 8th century A.D.
Do you see how deliciously delicate I am, that is from all the egg whites and sugar, spun to make the sweetest biscuit you have ever eaten. But please don’t eat me. I want to be your friend. I have to take care wherever I go because I am so tempting that people and pets want to nibble on my edges.

Do you see how pretty my decorations are? I look like I am ready for a party. I have a recipe for macarons, we could try making some in your kitchen.

Wild? Yeah, that's right, I'm wild. But what was that delicious meat we were all eating? I mean the sides were ok, but the point of the sides is to bring out the best in the high spot of the meal. You don't wanna tell me? Boy, I'm bloated now. What did I eat so much of?

You say WHAT!!!!!! Now I'm REALLY wild!

Snow time! I live in the far north, a land of ice floes, periods of darkness and extreme cold. One needs thick fur and lots of fat to live in a place as cold as this. It is so pretty when the sun hits the snow, and you see a million sparkles, and at night, we watch the aurora borealis, magical lights dancing in the sky.

I am not big enough to catch fish, so my mom brings me freshly caught fish. As we eat together, we talk about the news in our world. Where a seal was seen, who else has a new cub, what the weather may do tomorrow.

When I tire from chasing snowflakes, I snuggle up with my mom. Have you seen my mom? She is huge and so warm.

Maybe you would like to join me in eating some fish, I am sure my mom would catch some for you too.

Whir, bzzt. W.O.O.F, H.E.L.L.O! I am your new dog robot.

A very clever scientist that lives over by the wizard’s tower was tinkering with some gears and things called motherboards and, I don’t know what all else, but somehow a bit of magic escaped from the wizard’s tower and combined with all the bits and pieces that the scientist had laid out on the workbench, and this new robot was formed.

This robot cat can do most of the things that real dogs can do, though its bark sounds a bit rusty; plus, it can answer difficult mathematical questions, should you ever need such information. Also, this robot can tell you the best recipes for dog treats.

I am not sure what the scientist had planned, but this is how it turned out.

I’m round, two rounds in fact and cute as a button, made with fresh snow and bits and bobs that no one is using. I don’t know what brought me to life; was it the toque placed upon my head? Perhaps it was just the love that was put into creating me.

If there is snow, there will be snowpeople; it is a law of the universe. Pets and people cannot resist taking a small handful of snow and rolling it on the snow-covered ground to see how big a snowball they can make. Once that is done, the next step is to add a face and a scarf or hat.

With such a variety of snowmen, there are endless possibilities for stories and play. Enjoy the season with a snow family in your yard, but don’t try to bring them inside.

If you travel past the mountain tops and clouds, far into the coldest regions of the sky, you will have found the birthplace of all the snowflakes.

Snowflakes made with the purest water combined with the coldest air you could ever find. Add a touch of winter magic, and tada, a perfect snowflake is born.

This little snowflake is newly arrived in PnF land and is so proud to have drifted down to such a wonderful place. The little snowflake is eager to introduce itself to all the other pets in the land and become part of the winter fun.

Hello! I am tingling with excitement at meeting you. Do you like my laugh? It sounds like tinkling bells; I laugh a lot. When I am with other snowflakes we can produce quite the choir. We are going to have so much fun. I would love to help you build snowmen or join a snowball fight.

Wow! You live in a great big land. When I was travelling here, everything was moving by me so quickly that I did not have time to take it all in. I love it here, the vast expanse of snowy fields, the deep forests and the water that goes on forever.

I will be happy to make this my home. Oh, I don’t think we need to worry about what happens when winter ends; the magic in PnF land is strong.

Hey! Come on! You want to see the lights, right? What lights? Oh, the lights that humans have been putting on the cactus. I am so excited to see them. We may not get snow here in the desert, but it does get cold, and the sky is amazing during the night.
Every year around this time, humans put strings of lights on the cactus; it is all so magical. Jump up on my back and hang on. Here we go!

Oh, WOW! You're serving mashed potatoes, green beans, gravy, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, garlic and herb roasted carrots, brussels sprouts with bacon, cornbread stuffing, sautéed spinach with garlic, and buttery dinner rolls ... but those are all sides! What's the main course? I'll find out when I get there? I can't wait!

Heh, heh, here I am all dressed up like the BIG GUY, do you think the general public will know it's not him? This suit is a total chick magnet... who knew?

I waited too long, I know. So many memos about getting ready, so here I am with a hat made from wrapping paper. Yikes, it's snowing, does anyone have an umbrella?

It's artificial. I know. But I am better for the environment, right? That purist brother of mine with his sappy whining about only real trees are Christmas trees. Yeah, right...

I don't think Santa will notice, do you? I have drempt of pulling the sleigh for years, this is my big break!

Oh my! It's my favorite time of the year! Stand still and I will add some decorations to your outfit as well! Come on! Let's light you up!

This, this is as festive as I get. Ho! Ho! HO! and all that jazz.

I have my warm little knit hat that my grammy made me, with a cotton tail topper that matches my little cotton bum! I am ready to head out to the forest to frolic and play in the freshly fallen snow, making angels and snow sculptures! Grab your winter woolens and join in the fun!

Let me tell you the story about how I became the Christmas Mouse.

I was a wee mouse, and my family was moving to a new location one winter. A blizzard came upon us, and I got lost. I stumbled around in the snow trying to find anywhere I could shelter, when a bright light appeared a short distance away. I walked toward the light and saw a festively decorated mansion. Hurrying toward the door to see if I could find a way in, a booming voice called out, “Ho ho ho, what have we here?”

A large hand scooped me up, and twinkly eyes looked me over.
"Little mouse, are you lost? Why would you be out on such a night?”

I explained to this jolly fellow what had happened.

Laying a finger aside his nose, he said, “You can live with me until you find your family in the spring.

From that day to this, I have lived in the delightful mansion and helped out how I could, and every Christmas Eve, I get to put the star on top of the tree that stands in the foyer.

Oh, my days are so busy, but I am never too busy to stop and have a chat with the elves, the fairies and the reindeer. I gather news from all over, and I have secret tunnels that go through the mansion, so I can get anywhere I need to go very quickly.

Once a year, we have visitors' day; I would love for you to join me, and I can show you around and introduce you to a few of my friends. I have to run now, but it was so nice to meet you.

Sniff, sniff. I smell something delicious. Do you smell it too? It must be baking day. I feel the urge to sneak into the kitchen and see if I can get a plate of whatever smells so wonderful. Oh, it’s quite fine. I often wander into the kitchen and have a nose around. Sometimes, the head baker leaves a tray for me of the new treats they have made. That smell is pulling me onward. I love tasty snacks. I don’t imagine there is anyone who does not, and I am so lucky to be living here where there is always something delightful to eat.
