Determination is a Virtue, no doubt about it. Still, options sometimes recommend themselves, yes?
Bulletins, Up to the Minute
A new website, which should enthrall all sensible critters. <rhinos.org>. It certainly held our attention, which is no mean trick.
Neat.
Charming
Rhino memories stick with Us, each like an amulet, with associated connotations and scents. Each memory bead is a full-circle story unto itself, filled with individual meaning. Some may shine or glitter more than others, but each is a part of the collection We each hold dear. Yea, cling to, defining Us.
Speaking of which, isn’t it odd how We hold onto memories that stink? Why is that?
The Secret of Success
54 million years is a long time for a Dynasty to last. We Rhinos have managed it, through good times and less good times in any number of locales and barometric pressures. So a logical question might be, “How did you do it, you Rhinos?”
After a lot of pondering over the millennia We have concluded our success is not based on merit or cleverness or special endurance. If We have received preferential treatment from Nature, all We can grasp is Gratitude and a sense of Awe. Or it could be longterm dumb luck; there is always that option.
The Secret of our Success is a secret, hence the title. Nature knows the answer, but not We.
PowderPuffery
Dusting powder is what they call it, and what could be better? When We get itchy or buggy, or want to avoid the sun, We just roll around on the ground until We’re all slathered up. Presto, safe and sound.
We look fetching, but that’s just a pleasing extra.
In the Wild, We attend to first things first.
PS: Mud works just as nicely.

Today’s is the 300th post on Your Inner Rhino. A minor accomplishment perhaps, but our own.
We preen, in moderation. That is the Rhino Way. Subtle.
Getting on with it…
Digest this!
Some opine that We Rhinos chew too much. These critics seem to have a weak understanding of the necessity of our ingesting as much as possible. In the Wild, this “possible” is not always endless, so Rhinos need to get ahead of the game whenever We can. Big bodies demand big fuel consumption.
While chewing is Essential, it is not always Intellectually Absorbing. It is while We attend to this needful effort that We have time to compose a range of alternative experiences. These are mostly jolly imaginings, since We like to keep up our spirits; Merriment aids digestion. You see our point here, doubtless.
Our state of mind is an assignment to which Rhinos must attend. And We do.
Who’s pulling the strings?
Rhino Moms are attentive to their Tots. So extremely attentive are they, that their Tots often feel the Free Will Statutes have been revoked, at least in their individual case.
At times such as these Tots haul out their Marionette Imitations, to entertain their Moms, who occasionally get the point, and lighten up.
