The air is filled with the song of buzzy bugs. Simon cicada wakes up from his nap, climbs out of his shell and searches for a friend.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story, “Dock Dog”, Monday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Welcome to Favorite Friday! Please enjoy “Buzzy Bugs” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:35
Narrator: Male
Buzzy Bugs Excerpt:
Light streamed onto Simon’s face as he broke through the surface. The little Cicada blinked, to get accustomed to the brightness. As Simon pulled himself out of the earth, his body began to feel tight and tough. He shook off the dirt, and looked around. He saw bright green grass, and a thick, sturdy tree trunk. The little Cicada had emerged right next to a tree. Simon decided to climb it, and see what else was around him. Slowly, Simon pulled himself up the trunk of the tree. His body felt tighter and tighter. Simon had grown a lot while resting in the dirt! He needed to leave his armor behind. So the little Cicada anchored himself on the trunk, and began to squeeze out of his shell.
Simon blinked again, as his fresh eyes saw the details of the flaky bark on the trunk. The little cicada was curious to see how much he had changed, as he relaxed in the earth. Simon looked at his body. He had delicate wings on his back, and was now a bright green instead of the brownish color he had been before. Next to him, his armor was hanging on to the trunk of the tree. It was a little weird to see the mold of his old body, just hanging there. He fluttered his wings a bit to dry them off, and then stretched them. As soon as his wings were dry, Simon left the trunk to find a nice branch to rest on and watch the world.

It’s an incredible day on the sea! Darcy the dock dog asks for her life jacket. She wants to be ready to go for a boat ride. Will she get one?
Hello everyone! Ok, Dog lovers today is National Dog Day, and as promised, our new story, “Dock Dog”, celebrates another one of our furry friends. Enjoy!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:24
Narrator: Male
Dock Dog Excerpt:
Then Darcy hurried over to her home. Nudging her person she pointed to her life jacket. The lovable fluffy dog knew she needed her life jacket to go for a boat ride and she wanted to be prepared. The person laughed and said. “Is it a good day for a boat ride, Darcy? You’re right, you need your life jacket.”
Darcy’s person helped her into the bright orange foam and snapped the latch closed. The jacket hugged the fluffy dog snuggly around her back and belly. She even had a handle on her back, so people could help Darcy get on the boat, if she slipped into the water. With her life jacket on, Darcy was ready for a boat ride.

Love sings in the enchanted forest as Gerry the Robin shares her gentle melody with her baby birds. Her song relaxes everyone who hears it.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new stories, “Bridge Building”, Monday and “Clumsy Kitty, Tuesday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Welcome to Favorite Friday! Please enjoy “Love Sings” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:43
Narrator: Female
Love Sings Excerpt:
One cheerful song came from a thick green bush. Tucked inside its branches was a robin’s nest. The nest was cozy and dry, sheltered by the tight branches and the tough green leaves. The bush protected its treasures and hugged the little nest tight. No rain would bother Gerry Robin and her eggs. The little bird took a deep breath in and out (deep breath) and the wonderful song filled the air again. Gerry Robin was singing to her babies, telling them how much she loved them. She had three beautiful blue speckled eggs, tucked into the warm little nest. Gerry smiled as she sang, and the breeze carried the happy melody to everyone in the yard.
Today’s Meditation: Today, enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.

Grubby is a sweet but clumsy kitty. As he checks on everyone’s activities, Grubby makes a bit of a mess. It’s a relief to all when he settles in for a nap.
Hello everyone! We have a bonus for you this week! For international cat day we have a new calming kitty story “Clumsy Kitty.” Enjoy this extra episode about one of our friendly furballs. And don’t worry dog lovers. We’ll have a special Dog story for National Dog Day later this month!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:58
Narrator: Female
Clumsy Kitty Excerpt:
Grubby ran into the hall stopping outside the family room. The soft sound of pages turning drifted into the hall. The curious cat hurried into the room and leapt onto the bookcase. The bookcase wobbled a little as Grubby landed. The clumsy kitten took a second to balance then looked around. He saw Mom reading a book on the couch. Eager for some more petting the kitten took a step towards Mom. His paw landed on a loose book, and with that step Grubby, and the book, slid off the bookcase. Mom jumped, surprised by the sudden noise and turned to see the cream-colored kitty. Books cascaded down all around him.
Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with warmth and love as you send your loving energy to the world.

Hana the hyena is out for a walk when she gets a case of the giggles before long all the animals in the sanctuary join in to laugh out loud.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:32
Narrator: Female
Laugh Out Loud Story Excerpt:
Hana Hyena strolled through the fields singing a little song. She was feeling especially happy today and wanted to share her joy. As the little hyena walked her song grew louder and louder. Then Hana noticed some movement to her right. She turned and saw a meerkat standing up, looking at her with a puzzled expression. “That’s funny.” Hana thought, then smiled and continued her song. The little hyena sensed movement to her left and turned. Another puzzled looking meerkat had popped up. The little hyena giggled and continued on her way singing once again. One meerkat popped up in front of her, then another. More and more meerkats popped up in the waving grass. Hana began to giggle a bit more at the site of all the meerkats popping up to look at her.
The little hyena tried to continue her song but now the giggle was stuck.

Two raccoons search for a snack only finding empty trash cans on top of a hill. Soon the cans hold rolling raccoons, as the mischievous pair play.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story, “A Thoughtful Gift”, Monday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again, so now we have “Favorite Friday.” Please enjoy “Rolling Raccoons,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:39
Narrator: Male
Rolling Raccoons Story Excerpt:
Stars twinkled against the crisp midnight blue background of the night sky. The moon was full and bright, lighting the way for Rebel and Riley Raccoon as they wandered through the yards of the peaceful little neighborhood. It was time to look for a snack, and the little raccoons thought they had spotted a snack source. Up ahead, the moonlight shined on two cylinders standing next to each other at the top of a hill. Garbage cans! Rebel and Riley were excited. People always threw out the best stuff. “I hope there’s Pizza boxes. Sometimes there’s a whole pizza slice.” Rebel said licking his lips.
Riley said, “Mmmmm, I hope there’s chocolate ice cream containers. There’s always some ice cream left.”
Both raccoons rubbed their bellies and scurried up to the top of the hill eager to see what was inside the cans tonight. As they reached the top of the hill, bright lights came around the corner and the little raccoons ducked under a bush. If the people spotted them, they might move the garbage cans before the raccoons had a chance to look inside. Soon the only light left was the light from the moon, and Rebel and Riley left the shelter of the bush to explore the garbage cans.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud and relax into the feeling of lightness.
