Every sphere of endeavor, be it in the sciences, the arts, crafts, sports or stamp collecting, develops its own terminology. It is no different in the world of our furry and feathered companions overlords.
However, it has been impressed upon me by the Moondai Furbutts team (edumakashun sekshun) that their terminology, though similar, does not always mean what we think it means.
Take their legal terms for example. Though many of their words may sound the same, and even look the same, more often than not their meanings are not the same at all.
Inspired by their pedagogic idol, their esteemed Professoress Miz Pixie, they have asked me to address this issue in hopes of further educating we hoomins.
But first da rulz:
Pooties are cats; woozles are dogs. Goggies are dogs too. Birdeez are birds. Peeps are people. PWB Peeps are Pooties, Woozles, Birdeez People.
Don’t troll the PWB diaries. If you hate animal diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul; these aren’t to everyone’s taste.
You are welcome to share photos of your own animals, or ones you just like.
If you’d like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics.
If you have health/behaviour issues with your pootie or woozle, feel free to bring it to the community. We just may have someone whose experience can help.
There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated.
If you’re not sure about an issue, please ask. Someone is always glad to help.
