new arrivals

cleo...and her 3 devils...they are a day old...and cleo's change in attitude surprised me a lot...seeing life at close quaters,was a wow...though i have had many dogs...this is my first expereience at whelping..man till yesterday morning i was going nuts....didnt know what to do...infact i had to see a web page to get info on how to cut the umblical chords of the puppies...lol

yes ayeesha was the real hero...she had picked up cleo from the shelter nearly 10 years back...and when cleo was ready for whelping yesterday afternoon...it was ayeesha who was called to assist,as i was away to meet riaz,she (ayeesha) called me over phone to tell me that she saw cleo going to labour..and by the time i could be back...the first pup had arrived....and ayeesha was helping cleo to clean up....cleo did all the licking and cleaning...one after the other the pups arrived...she did this job so beautifully...and till 3 a.m she did not leave the sides of her pups....we manged to feed her cold milk about 5 times every hourly...in fact when i tried to move cleo away from the pups...she came reboundind back from another open door ...back to her whining pups!!!

yes...shit has hit the fan !!!

we have been following on this lonely planet a anthropocentric economic model...models of our relationship to the environ has been sheerly based on religious dictate,wherein the world has been provided to us to dominate...yuck...never seeing the wisdom and virtue in nature till ,shit hit the fan...
human desire for more produced stupendous human population and dramatic delirious effects on nature.assinging monetary values to functions performed by the earth for the benifts of people,these are so artificial...we have learned now..but et unwilling to apply the knowledge so gain to get immediate results...
earth with its terracentric values is in direct collusion course with our antropocentric model....we HAVE ALL COLLECTIVELY already screwedup the unique balance of physical,chemical biological conditions,proceesess of earth's rules.immediate..i mean immediate shift from doing ecosystem services to humans has be to advanced to services to the planet...there is no hope otherwise!!!

WE HAVE TO ACKNOLEDGE AND PRESERVE THE VIABILITY OF THIS BLUE ORB.there is absolutely no point now in testing the atmosspheric chemistry or earths energy...haiti...chile..tsunami's...poles melting...tornadoes...they are our serious pointers !! no other species has done this breakneck speed towards destruction of its own species,given the same period in time !!!

i would prefer,if drastic changes are individually taken...i mean personal level, in-house transformation,not waiting for laws.byelaws,dictats,commune co-operatives...may be a pipe dream eh!! :-(
one of my friend woulndt even acknowledge when i said "love destroys"...may be this is out of context ^_^.i have been water recycling in a very small way,avoiding plastics wherever possible,roof garden having over 12 trees( i still have 2 left after a botched replanting of some of these trees) ,ofcourse a VEGGIE ...but still have lots to do :-( .i was a bit overwhelmed at the immense hypnotised way many around me were going about..at some point doubt does seep in to say"hey may be u r over reacting"..u know :-)
