This is my sweet spoiled Princess Polly Toad.

It's felt like everything in my life has gone to shit for a long time now. From people lost to tragedy, to the stress and struggles that seem to never end but somehow still manage to surprise me in getting worse.

But this chonkers little lady is one of the things that keeps me going. Like, I have other reasons, of course. But the impact Polly has had on me is so strong. She just feels right, yknow? Like when I had newts, that felt right. When I had snails, they were SO right for me and I miss having them so much. Polly has filled a pet ownership void in my heart.

Like, all the awful shit going on around me, I can forget about it for just a little bit when she wakes up in the evening and I just sit and watch her for a little bit before bed.

I wish I could tell her how important she is to me. and how much I love her.

Dumpling thinks baby Lump is not small enough, and tries to compress her further.

Barely fits ....

Yeah she's cute and all, but don't be fooled - baby Lump is a worm-stealing criminal!
