  • A sharing from Sarawak (by “Mama Combat”)

    One of the reasons that prompted me to write all my books is to share with other like-minded animal lovers what one person can do with limited resources and capabilities. The message in all my books is simply that we can all do whatever we can within our means and no matter how small our…

  • Chitosan report from the Chitosan-Titans!

    The first report of the day is that Cow has left the Chitosan group. I only managed to feed him once and that’s that. On my second attempt, he almost bit off my finger. As you know when Cow bites, he bites to the bone. Yes, all the way. No holds barred. Indy tried to…
