Brownie and Midnite's Blog: November 2007

Brownie Roo and Midnite

Mongrels are a dime a dozen here in Asia and many people are shocked when they find out we have two and incredulous when they realise we actually do love them and they share our lives in every way. You see, Mongrels are meant to be guard dogs, outside dogs, dogs you feed scraps to, dogs you never need to pat or say anything kind to, dogs you never bring to the vet, dogs you are never ever supposed to love, dogs who are destined to live and die alone.

Everyone thinks Brownie and Midnight are such fortunate dogs because we rescued them. This is our secret - in truth, we didn't rescue them, they rescued us.

Why me?

Is this remotely funny? The things I do to make them happy.

Is that Chocolate?

I like to live dangerously.

Yes I drool....

Yes I drool...

But its My bolster!

Man in India Marries Dog to Atone for Stoning to Death Mating Canines

Sharon says she does not want to think about what this sick and disgusting groom would do to his "doggie bride" if he does not get cured.

Here is the full story:

Selva Kumar had been hounded for 15 years by the memory of a horrible act he'd committed as a teenager.

As an 18-year-old he had stoned and clubbed to death two dogs he found engaged in mating. He then hung their carcasses from a tree. That's when his personal suffering began.

"After that my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," Kumar told the Hindustan Times newspaper. Kumar, now 33 and living in the southern Indian district of Sivaganga, could no longer take the physical pain of the "dog curse," so he sought the advice of an astrologer.

Her cure for his maladies? "Marry a dog." Which is just what Kumar did on Sunday.

In a ceremony befitting a beautiful Indian bride, the bitch, a former 10-year-old stray named "Selvi," was bathed and dressed in a ceremonial orange sari with a garland of flowers adorning her neck. She was then brought to the temple in Tamil Nadu to be presented to Kumar by members of his family.

Kumar, sitting beside his bride, recited his marriage vows, declaring, "I will take care of it until its death." Then, the "couple" was declared married.

Deeply superstitious people in rural India sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can ward off certain curses.

The Hindustan Times reported Kumar's family hosted a feast — while Selvi dined on a bun.

I have been a busy doggie!

Looking after Sharon and Jules while they studied. I wish they would stop studying and just spend more time with me, quality time, not just any kind of time. Soon I hope...

I have also been a sad doggie. Been surfing the Internet and read some horrible stories about doggies.

One day I will post it up here, as well, we should all be aware. One day when I get over what I read, I will do it.
