Vanished and Vanishing
Reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s works has always been an enjoyable past-time for me. In one such novel named “The hound of Baskervilles”, we are introduced to a character ‘Dr. James Mortimer’ who has a pet spaniel. The illustration of the pet spaniel intrigued me. I recognized it to be an ‘English Water Spaniel’. On […]
Say Chi-huahua..
The smallest breed of dog in the world, Chihuahua got its name from the Chihuahua state in Mexico.

DOGS THAT DIGS

Purebred and pedigreed? Doesn’t make sense to me!
According to Wikipedia “Purebreds, also called purebreeds, are cultivated varieties or cultivars of an animal species, achieved through the process of selective breeding.

But then again one’s choice of pet even differs according to its personality. Some people are wild, adventurous, brave and […]

They like flaunting their pets in front of other people. Pets have recently become status symbols and a very […]

Can Snails bee Pets ?
These days’ pets have gained a lot of popularity. It’s kind of a status symbol for people. Though unwillingly but they want to have a pet. Some do it because they saw it somewhere. Others do it because their friends have it and yet some to just flaunt about it. In this race, we often […]
Housing a Gerbil
If pocket rodents are your thing, but you think mice aren’t good enough for you, you should, I believe, adopt a Gerbil as pet. Gerbils are what you can call an exotic variety of mice. Gerbils are absolutely delectable with their petite appearance and a little tuft at the end of their long furry tails. […]
