Gifts From Far Away

I really love this hedgehog!

It smells of spring and schnauzers...

Mommi said it came on a plane from very, very FAR away...

I love it too....and don't understand why I have to share it with Coco.

Hmm...it smells of English tea and puppies and a strange dog called...Aoife? Caoimhe? 

It is from Magic and Leigh!!  Yay!  Thank you very much from ALL of us...:D

 BUT!!  I have to stress that I am NOT pleased when Mommi brings Coco and Hedgehog into the room while I get locked outside.

And I cannot understand why I cannot have that other present as well.  The one that looks like Coco.

Please...don't give me to that vicious dog!!  I should've stayed in England!

Wishing all mothers a very

Happy Mother's Day!

*And that includes everybody who mothers their pets*

Trip To The Mountains

Lately Aunty Tooki has been feeling as hot and exhausted as this poor chap.  I decided to give myself a break and go find a cool place to chill out.

Off to the mountains I went.  Thick clouds and rain and mist.  What more could I ask for!  Lovely!



Henri Matisse said, "There are always flowers for those who want to see them."  How very true.

Aunty Tooki says....there are always dogs for those who want to see them.  I saw lots of homeless dogs up there.  This one was waiting for customers to throw her some food.  Look at those scars.

This one slept in the middle of the road.  He didn't care if a car ran over him.

This one slept under a car.  Look at that horrible wound/growth.  Isn't it pathetic?  No one bothered with them and Aunty Tooki felt so, so sorry.

This one tore at my heart.  It was running all over on three legs trying to look for food in the garbage bins.  There was none.  Aunty Tooki bought him a packet of rice with chicken and gravy.  I am so sorry I couldn't do more.  That was probably the only decent meal he had ever had in a long, long time.

Once upon a time, I was a cute little puppy too.  I fed on my mother's milk and I grew fat while she grew thin.  Then she left me to fend for myself.  Where to find food?  From the garbage.  Toxic food that humans threw at me made my body rot.  I was too hungry to resist. 

They live near humans but not many will give them food, even leftover food.  Some are killed in a cruel manner.  Hey, dog killers!  Do you know it's like killing an innocent toddler?  That's the IQ of a dog, a toddler's IQ.

It could have been me.

Poor Toy



Why can't you be nice to your toys?
What did you do to his ears?



Their Favorite Places

This balcony is Coco's favorite spot.

 She can sit or lie on her belly here all day.  She's keeping her eyes peeled for cats, dogs and buffaloes so she can bark her head off.

(Mom, a Schnauzer is created and born for barking.  It is their vocation, calling, purpose for living and service to owners and community at large.)

This is Wawa's favorite spot.  He will pile all the cushions and beds on top of one another like this and sleep on it all day, if I let him.  He doesn't let Coco have any so she has to sleep on the cold, hard floor.  He is mean and selfish.  And many other bad attributes.

(Mom, are you bad-mouthing me again before the whole world?)
