Here we are at Issue #13! I hope everyone has enjoyed following along with all our messages!

First there’s something to listen to from Josie Patches (click on her name).

Now we want to introduce our next special guest – Kylie! Kylie is a bearded dragon and she lives and works with Catherine Binney in the UK. Kylie has some thoughts about how to spend your time, too. Please click on her name here: Kylie.

We have more of our animal friends lined up to share their ideas and messages with you, so we’ll be back soon with another issue of Animals Speak! Thanks for reading this and watching our videos!

Stay safe and stay healthy!
Josie Patches (and Kirrie)
