What a wonderful update -- she is an auspicious Star indeed. Congratulations on your adaptable nature, Chris. Cecilia wants to compliment you on your choice of a crinkly bag -- one of her favorite spots, too. Especially in the middle of the night, so as to make as much noise as possible as she finds the most comfortable position.

They are all in our Comments, so I’ll have to review them. I’ve kept some of them in a notebook. Maybe we can do a post and cross post to each other’s stacks. Something like that! Let’s get creative, April!

How did Star get her name and what does she sound like when she's in conversation with the Critters?

Expand full comment
Heidi Zawelevsky's avatar

Thank you, Squizz! Her Muttville name was, and I say this in all seriousness, Starfish. We have been none too keen on the fish part of the name, so we like Star and she responds to the name. Can you believe it?

That's really terrible. I'm glad she has a new wonderful name that is shorted to Star! When When I adopted an Elder Bunny, her name was BUGS. I had to give her something more dignified, because that's who she was. She was a little black Netherland who was maybe a pound, if that. Her dewlap looked like a little fur stole around her neck, so I called her Josephine.

Thank you, Squizz. This is excellent confirmation of Star’s name and we really appreciate your feedback. Btw, Star sounds quite shy when in conversation with the Critters. But she’s getting bolder and definitely has a vocal side! The name for your bunny and the story itself is truly heartwarming. We luvluvluv it. Panda’s middle name was, in fact, Josephine. It’s a wonderful critter name.

Fascinating! The Critters are especially intrigued by the ability of the device to detect scooting behavior and prolonged sleep patterns. Please, keep us posted as this new invention hits the market!
