Deaf Culture and tidbits
For your catty smile
Introducing Handspeak's furry companions, Kibe and Fritzy have been my constant companions (and distractions).

Kibe (2015-) is a mouse catcher and a bit of warrior. She often brings a mouse, sometimes dead and sometimes alive. These carrions are usually given to neighborly magpies. Kibe is brave and kind.
Kibe often sits on my desks. Whenever she walked across the desk, she stretched out her forelimb and hindlimb between the monitor and me (or behind my laptop). She understands that she is not to touch the keyboard, often jumping over the keyboard or walking around it.
Fritzy (2020-), on the other hand, is a brush bandit with her furry bandit racoon-mask, looting and hiding my art brushes in her wool cave. She also took an adorable tiny stuffed alpaca to her cave. Fritzy is so sweet and she purrs often.
If you cannot find Kibe in the backyard, she is somewhere far beyond the backyard. If you cannot find Fritzy in the backyard, she is usually somewhere far up in the sky (trees) within the backyard. Sorry, I digress.
