rant

Hey Chavie =) sorry men, been busy with wedding stuff =( I DO read all of you guys' blog posts though =]

...TSC's new rant :
Absolutely flabbergasted at how naive and 19th century some people can be with regard to religious and racial issues...
How people can change at the blink of an eye, how they hide their real thoughts and it's only a mask you see ...
How can we talk about uniting the country.. of forgetting racial and religious differences, when you can't even get over it among your friends??? =[

There was a Dog show by the Kennel Asso. on Sunday - sadly, TSC missed it ... *snif, snif** ='(

.:.:. P.S. : Hey Surani & Harumi, can I have your comments on Chavie's comment and my post please? =D .:.:.:.

Exposure....

With regard to Chavie's question =] ;

This is "Trumpie", named so on the joyous occasion of him triumphing over all his siblings and living....
You can see the obvious joy and happiness he has derived from chewing on my pencil, a part of which is plainly seen hanging out of his mouth.. this pic was taken two months ago, when the suspect was romping on my bed and as he was on the verge of inquiring (and doing his best impression of "I'm a cute little baby rabbit" face) if he would be put back into his cage as a result of chomping on my fav pencil and my pillow :(

Yes, he can jump onto the bed.
Yes, he really DOES look so innocent.
No, in reality he most certainly is NOT that innocent.
And Yes, he is a villainous cunning rascal in rabbit's clothing.

The "happenings" continue...

The stupid kalawedda has been after my rabbit!!! :\ I shall turn him into a sausage if I get my hands on him!!

We had six rabbits but now it's just the one... This ONE was force fed by my mom when he was the size of an ant because HIS mom died. Anyways, now he's the king of our castle (house rather). So last night, mom had him in her room and he has spent the whole night trying to burrow into her stuff :D
Mom walked about like a zombie today morning.. he he..

Apparently rabbits mate for life, so once one of them dies, the other just starves to death and sorta walks about very lethargicly like, refusing to run or play or anything :[

PS : I would love to upload a pic of the rascal, only my stupid computer doesnt let on java popups :S

Visited the zoo, but returned feeling more down in the dumps... The animals all looked so sad and depressed.. There were several dumbos trying to give a cigar to the gibbons, so had to drag Darling off before he could punch them in the face :\
Really silly, bloody idiots seem to be loose in the country these days..

The old bear I remembered from teenage trips was still there, but looked rather forlorn and had this really sad look on his face. The tiger was lying on his back trying to look into the lions' cage through this tiny pipe hole in the wall. I think the linoess was pacing =D

I remember our family went once when I was around seven. There was this white deer in a cage in the ground, sorta lower than the usual ground height. I was enchanted with it, hanging over the bars, talking to it..... and the next minute he had gulped down half of my frilly skirt... and it was my fav too =)
And the lama snatched off my hat and my brother screamed thinking it was after my head (he was just four - which undoubtedly explains his affection towards me). And when we went to see the elephants and my bro said "Ammi... see... coconuts falling" :P yes..really!! and in very high pitched, small baby voice!

This time, the snakes were scary especially when I poked my head right into the glass to look for the python and it dropped down from the tree stump above O_O There was this gigantic tortoise and crocodile together, of which I managed to take a good pic, hanging over the railing with Darling hanging onto my waist in case he lost me, in these last stages of the wedding I guess.... hmmm... maybe he DOES love me }=>

There was an enooorrrmous crowd by evening though... But what I noticed was that most of the people think animals are dumb (when you could SEE the look of utter contempt the white deer gave you when they dropped a Popsicle in his cage!! - "Look what I have to go through, with these idiots") They seem to think its just FINE to point and jeer and poke things through the cages, although it says NOT to in large red letters just beside the cages !

The hippos' water trough was full of Popsicle wrappers, mango seeds, achcharu and unmentionable stuff.. And in the midst of all these, the two hippos were lying calmly in the water, with their foreheads leaning together... First, one rubbed his head on the other... then, the other leaned in... yep, i got a pic :D

The saddest part was watching the birds try to fly out and jam on the cages... The little squirrel monkeys run up and down and up and down and up the poles.... The sick wild boar snuffling in a corner.. The arapimas lamming into the catfish everytime they turn around....

And someone said "how easy a life they must have, getting food and water and just lying around...no need to go to office" ... Well.... I wonder which is easier....

doggies and catties

My cousin's dog Sherry, who spends most of his days in our house; pictured here in the midst of one of his "roll-on-the-grass" sprees.
Darling's doggie Shane, who's the most wonderful and friendly dog I've ever met (although Darling doesn't like him! :I), pictured here in one of his "who me? Im so innocent.. *coy eyelash blinking* " moments...
The two insane sisters "White" and "Black" (yeah, yeah, I know they are brown, it's just the feeling you get when you meet them.. )
oooh, welcome to Cleopatra's home... come in darrrling..... (I swear she can hypnotise you >:] just look at her eyes)
he..he.. hmmmmm.. hak..hak...
(DO NOT BE FOOLED PEOPLE : this is the pose she strikes before leaping onto you!!
Gorgeous, adorable and verrrry obedient dog at Dalada Maligawa
Our nieghbour's dog who makes it a point to wait for my mom from around 5.00am. She usually unlocks the back gate around 6.00am to let me out (:]) He sits out there on the road, and pounces on her. The thing is he is sooo ferocious, even his owner is scared to touch him. But with us, he's like a teddy bear :D
Humongous dog at uni.. There are about 10 more, collared and well looked after... hmmmm....
Catty at fish shop :) Cattie at Uni.... who washes his paws before being fed :)
And last but not least..... my adorable, sweet, cute, darling baby rabbit... (naughty, wicked bugger with sharp pointy teeth) trying his best to eat the camera

Bouwwa’s Show

The Blue Paw Trust, an animal welfare organization, hosted the country’s first-ever dog show for cross - breeds on September 28th at the Viharamaha Devi Park, Colombo. No purebreds allowed, only the dadoriyas :D




This was hosted to mark World Rabies Day and there were also special information stalls on prevention of rabies. Some of the fun competitions were : ‘Best Coat’, ‘Longest Tongue’, ‘Nicest Eyes’, ‘Cutest Tail’, ‘Shiniest Teeth’, ‘Best Behaved’, ‘Most Cuddly’ and ‘Drama Queen’.


The Horssiies :)
....... and getting ready for the show in the evening
The mascot .... Isn't he adorable......

Went to the show at around 11.00am and the contests had already started. I was really impressed to see that quite a crowd had turned up. The contests were really great !! Really good to see that shows like this are held as most Sri Lankans treat animals very stupidly ..... At least some good will come of the show.
