You are your own ecosystem by Boone Siebersma

INSTRUCTIONS: Document seven visible-to-the-naked-eye living things that are dependent on you for survival.

these are only the animals that were awake at 9:30 this morning. and a plant. i assume the plant was awake, because the sun was up. the cats were all feeling camera shy for some reason. usually they mug for the camera. unless i'm counting wrong, which is possible, there are 23 living things that depend on me for survival in these pictures.

a) That's awesome. Pretty animals!

b) Are the mice not named because they are food or because they are many and small or for some other reason?

mice are mainly food, so we don't name them. also, they have very short lifespans anyway, and we'd quickly run out of names. we try to avoid re-using names. we sometimes name the mommy and the daddy, but not right now.

I often named the mice "lunch" and "fatty".

Very characterful animals. And very characterful names.
