On Owning a Zoo

Welcome to our very own 'animal reserve'---where family knows no species. Let's begin the tour, shall we?

Here we have ONE dog!

Give her a drumroll!! I have no idea how old she is since her previous owner moved to a 'no-pets-allowed' apartment and didn't give us the number of years. If anything, though, she's definitely a senior.

She loves visitors, of course, please don't judge her by the size of her eyes. It's a asset, okay! With her habit of fidgeting, taking pictures of her really isn't a piece of cake.
My heart beats of pride!

Then we have TWO darling kittens!

How they came about was a long story. To cut it down, we found four kittens on our balcony as it was about to rain. Their mom came back for two. We had to feed the other half with bottled milk, and it's like taking care of babies! They drank while on their backs!

Watching them grow, meeeeooowing with such affection...this is their baby photo!(Great, now I feel like one of those aunts with a walletful of photos.)

This duo has, so far, broke a vase, caused furniture to tumble over, brought home live and dead 'toys', tore up documents and I'd say they are going through the rebellious teenage phase.

Yet how adorable they are!

Last but not least, a pond community right in our garden.

Guppies! Guppies!

My mom's enjoying her role as their midwife, ever so gleeful upon seeing a single minute fry. Only at one point---"Why are there no males!!??"--- She found on the internet about some sort of connection between the temperature of water and the gender of the fishes.

I thought she'll start boiling the water.

Anyway, this was the nursery for the fries! Okay, so you won't see any in this picture, but there were 18 of them in there.

As of now we do not keep track. They're multiplying too fast.


Thank you for visiting our humble abode. So who said it's a viscious cycle of "dog eat chase cat eat fish" world?




Hey! Who tore a hole in my blog now???
