probs part of the funniest thing my mom learned from the SD zoo animal care program she took for her ecology degree is that a.) enrichment items don't need to necessarily mimic items from their natural habitat, they just need to elicit natural behaviors, and b.) those behaviors don't necessarily need to be based on positive emotions. Sometimes the best thing to do is to give a captive animal something that will frustrate the hell out of them to get that brain working. Subject those beasts to situations
i'm actually Suprise that i still have banger for every month this years consdering the wacom problem in June and Jully.
You can see that i had to learn how to draw on wacom again in later half of july and august.
and End the Last 3 month on Pure Crack (like i'm legit torn caused there is so many good pieces in Oct-Nov and Dec)
The jigsaw puzzle I did the other night was an extremely satisfying McDonalds Dipping Sauce puzzle, although marred somewhat by the fact that it was missing a piece (I found it later, so I know it exists, I just somehow knocked it off the mat when doing the puzzle).
Dearborn sat on the cushion behind me while I worked and supervised.
[ID: Five images; the top four are simply a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle on a felt mat, and the photos show the progression of a brightly colored photograph of numerous McDonalds dipping sauces, one of which has the foil top pulled slightly back. In the last image, shot from the opposite angle, Dearborn the tortie is lying on the back cushion of my orange sofa, looking at me, while in front of her the partially-assembled puzzle is laid out. She looks irritated but that’s just her face.]
