Baaaaad day for the sheep!

Sheep being taken to be sold (for Bakri Eid)

Sacrificial Lamb

Muslim's celebrated "Bakri Eid". This sheep was killed on the morning of Eid (just as Abraham killed a lamb instead of his son thus obeying God's word)

Sacrificial Lamb!

Monkey business

Ol' brown eyes!

(The Blue Monkey at the Kuwait Zoo)
Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes; I'll never love blue eyes no moreeeeeeeeee!

India's national bird

The male is called a peacock, the female a peahen. The male peacock flares out its feathers when it is trying to get the female's attention. They are omnivorous and eat ticks, termites, ants, locusts, mice, plant parts, flower petals, seed heads, scorpions and other arthropods, reptiles, and amphibians.

My long lost brother

It was a sentimental reunion!

Chicken & Duck

The Chicken seller was delighted when I requested he pose for the pic. I also saw a lonely duck among the chickens.

Kitty, kitty coming

Master of all I survey! Kuwait is filled with cats. You will rarely, if never, see a dog, but you will always see a few stray cats checking you out.

Tiny black dots

Look! Look! Those tiny black dots are actually sheep.

3 horses

There were 3 horses in the Chalet. We couldn't ride them and were too afraid to pet them. The white one, the caretaker told us, is quite crazy. Yet, he looked saner than my ex-boss. (That's another blog post in itself!)


When I aimed to click this pic, he stomped his feet, swished his tail at a frantic pace, and flared his nostrils (in this instance, the horse, not the ex-boss. The similarities, though, were astounding!). Quite rude of him to show me his behind. Obviously I'm not his type! Methinks he needs a training course on how to treat a dishy lady (if I say so myself!) with a camera!
