The K Gang at sea

Image
Last sunday was our wedding anniversary - the 29th!! - and Kiran thought of this wonderful way to celebrate. (He has most of the wonderful ideas in our family). An evening boat ride in the harbour, to watch the sun set on the Arabian Sea. With Kiba and Kimaya of course! Kiba was nervous to begin with, but he calmed down later and even took a nap. And Kimaya loved every minute and posed nicely for many photos.  Enjoy the album! Miss Jack Sparrow!

To read all his earlier posts, follow the links in this story , and this . 'It has been a hectic summer with lots of competitions and training. To promote the book , I entered Tommy in Novelty Dog Shows in all kinds of different classes. When he didn't win 'Most Beautiful Eyes' (he came second), I got very upset! Strangely enough, as much as people here love meeting Tommy and think he is so handsome, and always ask if he is a fox or a dingo, and love hearing about coming from India, the judges were never impressed in the 'most beautiful dog' classes. It was always a cockapoo (hybrid between a poodle and a cocker spaniel, very fluffy dogs) that won. At one show I decided to skip the beauty classes and enter him in 'best rescue'. It was a big agricultural show and there were 15 dogs in th...

Sumo

Sumo lives in Pattukottai, Tamil Nadu, with his humans Senthilkumar and his mother. What a gorgeous little boy! Senthilkumar wrote in about him: 'My mother and I planned to raise a pup for our home. Instead of buying one, we decided to adopt a pup. A few days after making this decision, we heard from one of our neighbours that a dog had delivered pups some distance from our home. I went to take a look at the pups, but unfortunately the mother had sneaked them out of sight under a drainage canal.  Then we had a week full of rain in our region. Early one morning I saw the mother carrying two of her pups, one by one in her mouth (eyes closed, still so young) and hiding them in a drainage canal near my house. These drainage canals I mention have water in them only during rainy days, not all the time. I was quite concerned because I had heard the dog had had four or five pups, and now she had brought only two! I asked my neighbours about it and heard a horrible thing: some pups had been...
