Can you tell me a bit about yourself?
I'm a Triceratops! I've got three horns and I'm an herbivore. I like to go on adventures with my hu-Mum. Hiking is THE BEST! Being outdoors and in the forest is my favourite thing! Being surrounded by ferns is a wonderful feeling- just like being at a buffet!
How long have you lived in Canada? What part of Scotland are you from?
I've lived in Canada since around 2007. I was adopted in Glasgow- which will always be home but Canada is really awesome too. My hu-Mum is 100% Canadian but she lived in Glasgow for a few years- it was great! I've lived in Hamilton and Toronto, Ontario and now I live in Vancouver, BC!
Do you ever get to go back to Scotland and see your old neighborhood regularly?
We try and go back every other year. We were last there in the summer of 2016. I have a sistersaurus who lives in Glasgow. I miss her a lot.
How did you two meet at first?
Well, my hu-Mum used to walk past the adoption shop I was living in with a bunch of other plushies. She used to stare in the window and remember how when she was small, she had a best plushie long neck dinosaur and it was just the best thing ever! She wanted to rescue one of us and have an adventure dino pal again! For her birthday, I magically showed up for the party! Surprise! We've pretty much been inseparable ever since! (Eventually, Mum went back to the shop (I was a bit lonely) and fell in love with Steve Stegosaurus and then he joined our herd! He's the best brother I could ask for!
Teas and Dinos, do you give them decaf? What is it like for their cold-blooded metabolism to be supercharged with caffeine?
We mostly drink caffeinated tea but we do have soft spot for peppermint tea! We are limited to tea only in the morning- otherwise we'd be up all night. Tea goes really well with biscuits so.... we might have a slight problem with eating a lot of cookies!
Vegan cookies, what’s their favorite foods, favorite teas?
I love pizza with mushrooms and olives, chocolate chip cookies, donuts, corn on the cob, ferns, tofu scramble, various curries and potato chips.
Brontosaurus and walking dead, what’s the age limit for a bront to watch that show or zombie movies?
There's no age limit really. If one of us is scared then they don't have to watch or maybe we just watch something else. Sometimes there's some bad dreams but that's what Mums are for.
Is it hard for a dino to get a passport or does she even need one?
I technically don't have a passport, which usually means I'm x-rayed quite a lot.
Scottish traditions that the dinos have learned?
We celebrate Burns night with homemade veggie haggis! And we call it Hogmanay, not "New Year". And we recognize St. Andrews Day. We really like deep fried Mars bars!
Do they tend to talk a lot during movies?
Mum says Yes, we do.
Do think that they will in our time, revive dinos or clone mammoths?
Mammoths! I heard on the radio that it's more possible!
What makes you love Dinos so much? When did it all start?
Mum had toy dinos when she was wee. She never gave up on our magic! We are quite majestic creatures.
Can you give me a rundown on what are the names of your dinos and their personalities?
Tracy Triceratops- the leader of the herd. She's outgoing but also shy sometimes. She is always ready for an adventure! She's the reason the entire herd is vegetarian- she refuses to let any of them eat each other.
Steve Stegosaurus- resident jokester. Used to be the shy-guy buts he's lost that title. Steve doesn't realize how funny he is.
Tommy T-Rex- athletic dude- But not heavy on the dude part. (He does call everyone Dude tho) He is the bad dream chaser of the herd and loves cuddles. He is Steve's best friend.
Vince Velociraptor- the baby of the herd. He always wants to help and has taken an interest in cooking over the last year. Waffles are his specialty.
Brendan Brachiosaurus- the shyest of the bunch. Wants to be an artist when he grows up. He enjoys colouring. He is dating Brett.
Brett Violet Brachiosaurus- Brett joined us via a plushie buddy in WA state. She is a free spirit and Tracy's best girl friend. She is a great delegator and keeps the peace when there is a disturbance in the herd.
Utah Raptor- an English Raptor who enjoys reading, night lights and pocket adventures. He is quite content to stay out of the lime light.
Tino Triceratops- another gifted dino but this one came from over the ocean. He has had some culture shock but is settling in just fine. He and Vince are best friends and are usually found playing hide and seek around the flat.
Thanks so much Krissy and Tracy! You all are straight up awesome!
