Love roses & cats
Posted in My family & other animals, tagged cats, kittens, roses on February 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
See, I’m not the only one finding roses irresistible. Actually I find even the little kitten irresistible. There’s nothing cozier than curling up on a large sofa with a nice book, next to a bowl of tidbits with a nice, furry cat on your lap. I love to scratch their soft underbelly and their ears…to [...]

Pomeranians are such wonderful, friendly, generous and lovable creatures. Yet, I don’t why there is so much bad press about them that they are mean, little dogs, who shed truckloads of hair, bark, snap, bite and have bad tempers. I have had one Pomeranian and associated with many of these creatures and have never once [...]

Polyvore is a great blogging tool, that helps you create your own fashion templates. It was very useful checking out Precious style and seeing Marcia’s own creation. She had got the idea, from another favourite blogger of mine A StoryBook Life. Inspired, I made my own doggy fashion template.

Regulars to the Arignar Anna Zoological Park will be familiar with a huge, gusty male elephant called Vikram. This post is about when he was a baby. I first met Vikram when he was a six-month old baby at the Vandalur zoo, where I was working as a volunteer. The poor guy had been abandoned [...]
Dog bytes

Though I’m a big, big dog lover, I’ve got bitten four times by dogs. Actually its because I’m a dog lover that I got bitten so many times. The one thing to my credit is I haven’t been bitten by a dog after I was 14 (Now at 23 I can hopefully claim that I [...]
Alsations or GSDs?
Posted in My family & other animals, tagged 'Alsatian Wolf Dog, Alsations, British Kennel Club, German Shepherds, World War I on August 19, 2008 | 3 Comments »
My interest in the name debate of this breed was sparked off when my cousin insisted that GSDs were different from Alsations. Me, being the aspiring vet (at 15) that I was, took him all the way to Connermara library in Egmore to prove my point. Many people think that Alsations and German Shepherds are [...]

I have always wanted to own a Siberian Husky. There is something so graceful, upright and noble in its carriage and bearing. Unluckily, I have never been able to own the dog (since it comes with a Rs 1 lakh + price tag in India). Other than patting the few that come my way at [...]
