Killer Whales Under Confinement

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged on February 25, 2010 | 3 Comments »

It is no secret that I am obsessed with animals and their well-being, but I am often torn between my love for animals and our dependency on them as humans.
I loathe factory farming.  Yet, I am not a vegetarian.  I do, however, try to limit my meat intake, and try to only purchase from local [...]

Pigeons are smart

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , on November 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Where do the pigeons go when it gets so cold in Montreal?  One day, they were all there, and today I didn’t see a single one.

That is the entire post today – I’ve been thinking about it for a while.
PS – Pigeons freak me out.  Any animal with shifty eyes and occasional missing feet are [...]

It was bound to happen

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on October 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »

With me volunteering at the SPCA so often now, it was bound to happen that Pedram and I would end up with a dog sometime soon.
A small disclaimer about myself. I feel bad for things, and often choose to purchase the least desirable product out of a sense of responsibility and pity.  For example, at [...]

I am the pack leader

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged on August 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I have become an official dog walker at the Montreal SPCA.  Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, although I am not meeting any new people, but have made plenty of dog friends.  Sometimes I’ll refer to my new friends in conversation, and then remember to remind whoever I am talking to that [...]

Spider nightmares

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , on July 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I have been having consecutive nightmares concerning the pictures below, waking up in the middle of the night, most recently to the enormous spider OPENING my bedroom door with one of its long, hairy legs and is learing at me with its 8 yellow eyes.  The sound of its sharp claw-like mouth opening and closing [...]

Southern Africa Part 3

May 2
Location: Moremi Game Reserve
We are on the safari and have just built our tent and noticed that there are zebras just strolling through our backyard.  It is so amazing.  We had lunch alongside hippos and crocodiles.  The whole theme of the safari is just observing and learning about the animals while keeping a safe [...]

Moving Part 3

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on May 19, 2009 | 6 Comments »

Two days ago Pedram was taking a nap when he woke up to me bawling uncontrollably.  In our 5 years of knowing each other, he has never witnessed me crying outloud.  We had been in Montreal for a few days and were nowhere closer in agreeing on our future apartment, finding cell phone plans, a [...]

Am back!

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on May 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »

We are back home, after a 25 hour trip home that was filled with Germans.  Really, Germans are everywhere, they travel 300 days out of the year I swear.  At the Zambian customs, the guy was writing down the nationalities leaving.  He got his first Luxembourger, and I was the second American.  There was two [...]

More Shazdeh

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , on March 4, 2009 | 2 Comments »

What? I love him.  I often turn to Pedram and ask “I wonder what Shazdeh is doing now.” or, “Do you think Shazdeh misses me?”.  I miss him.

My little Min-Pin

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , on February 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »

People who don’t have dogs live an unfulfilled life.
I am at home with my dog Shazdeh.   There is a time everyday that he follows me around, wondering when exactly I will do something that can be interpreted as going for a W-A-L-K.  I pull on my pants, he tilts his head in a what-are-you-doing expression.  [...]
