Meet Ripley. She is a puppy in a toucan suit, and adores getting scratched behind her ea—well, everywhere.
She was acquired as a wee thing, back when she was a little more yellow and a little less orange, but still as beautiful as ever.

In addition to munching on her gourmet meals of blueberries and papayas, Ripley is completely content just curled up in her human’s lap. She’s also been known to ball-up toucan style for a nap whenever the feeling strikes.
As a bit of educational fun, her human gives us all an interesting informational tidbit:
Toucans have the unique ability to use their bill as a personal radiator. It’s speculated that they can keep themselves warm while sleeping using their bill! They also have the ability to tuck their tail flat against their backs- an ability not shared by many birds!
You know what else is not shared by many birds? The desire to cuddle on a warm lap and be scratched until the sun goes down. I mean seriously, just look at her face! Eyes closed, beak slightly open… she’s in a state of pure bliss. Now that is one cute puppy. Toucan. I mean toucan.
