Sunday Switchup: Barny McScreecherson

Posted on June 8, 2025 by Adam Lang

Posted on February 9, 2025 by Adam Lang

I don’t have any animals to post on this lovely Sunday, but I do have something that came first. I hard-boiled half a dozen eggs late last year and I ate five of them and then opened the sixth and … Continue reading →

Sunday Switchup: Chianti the Pineapple Conure

Posted on January 12, 2025 by Adam Lang
