I frickin love animals, and as many people know, I LOVE dogs. So naturally, I am loving all the dogs on the streets in India. Most of them are pretty well cared for, which makes it easier, though the more mangy ones – and the odd one dead on the side of the road – do make me sad.
Also I want to adopt all of them.
And I’ll admit – I have pet some of them. The friendly ones and the puppies. Don’t worry – I’m not going to get rabies! 😉
The cows are pretty cute too. And the camels and the monkeys and the goats. Basically everything. Two funny stories:
In Jaisalmer, I was carrying a banana in the side pocket of my purse when a cow spotted it and started nudging my back. He twisted my rubber arm and I gave him a chunk of the banana, which he ate. But then he wasn’t interested in the rest and kept nudging me until I pet him. Cutest. Thing. Ever.
Then in Pushkar, a dog came running towards a bunch of us and started rubbing his body against my legs (new black pants, just FYI) being all “Love me, love me, love me!!” So I did.
I can’t help it. I have a weakness. Admitting it is the first step, right?
Now enjoy these photos!
“For fuck’s sake, another photo?!?”
“I’m Hector, reporting for duty.”
Strong like bull
More puppies!!
“Duuuuuude…I’m a camel in Pushkar. Alcohol and meat are banned, but reefers are plenty.”
“Yes, I know I’m gorgeous!”
This cow was afraid of walking past these geese.
“He’s well hung!” said Sue, the mom on the trip.
Grooming party!
“Here’s looking at you, kid.”
Puppies!!
Snake charmer. Not going to lie, it was interesting to see even if it is animal cruelty.
Monkeys!!
“Give me your food!!!”
“I have found my sunny spot and I shall remain here forever.”
This puppy kept getting lightly slapped by the cow’s tail and it was adorable.
“Yum, that street food was good!”
Grooming party 2.0: Rear edition.
Smiles!!
Oh Simon, my camel. Your attitude is awesome
“Hellooooooo!!!”
Gorgeous elephant. Though sad that they are still being used as entertainment and for tourists to ride.
“Just let me streeeeeeeetch it out in downward dog. Ok, I’m good.”
I cuddled this puppy and it was the cutest thing ever.
Yes, I admit it. I touched this pup.
“Yes, I’m still here on this stoop. And now I will escort you back to your hotel.”
“This is the life….”
The best passenger a motorcyclist can have!
I can’t even. Soooooo cute!!
“Sigh….take it quickly so I can go back to sleep…”
Camel parking, anyone?
I love this photo of a goat scratching himself on the wall of Amber Fort, Jaipur
He just wants to be loved…and I just want to love him…
“I’m holy and I know it.”
