Welcome to Chaos !!

Look at this amazing rainbow that I saw yesterday evening. I wish I could had captured it in all it's glory. There were actually double rainbows going on for a while but the top one was not as strong and vibrant as the bottom one.
So beautiful! It's the second time in about a month that I have seen a beautiful rainbow in this location.

I had an iced almond milk vanilla latte today. Almond milk instead of regular milk. Although I am a vegetarian I am still eating and using animal products. I eat milk products, eggs and cheese. I have leather purses and pants. I do feel bad about that sometimes. So I am going to make another small step in the right direction (for me) and do the almond milk in my lattes instead of regular milk at least half of the time I get a latte from now on. I do not like soy milk. Or tofu.
Dairy cows don't live lives free from cruelty either. The chickens that lay the eggs we buy in large super markets are probably not happy. I know all of this and I think about it. And it makes me feel bad. I don't want to hurt animals, I don't even kill flies or other insects except mosquitoes.



A dream for me would be to one day have an animal sanctuary. To help animals in need, give them a safe forever home or a foster home until they can find a forever home. It doesn't have to be a large sanctuary. Even helping a few animals is better than not helping at all.
While doing research on animal sanctuaries I came across what Jon Stewart and his wife Tracey are doing for animals. What amazing human beings! I admire them both. Tracey Stewart also wrote a book called Do Unto Animals . I want that book.
Practice kindness to all. ❤

Do you know that you can get a puppacino for your four legged companion when you go to Starbucks? It is basically a little cup of whipped cream.
Starbucks whipped cream is REALLY yummy. I rarely get Starbucks nowadays and when I do I get the chai with whipped cream of course. I feel like the latte at Starbucks is not that tasty, so I rather get my latte elsewhere.
But here are me and Chhaya with our Starbucks treats. Look at her little face when she is devouring her puppacino!

So almost a week ago now Chhaya had a seizure.
The day started out normal, we went to the park and played.



Look at the rascal!



After the park we did errands, when I pulled up and stopped the car at the house I noticed the wanted to vomit. So I quickly got her out of the car and she threw up and immediately afterwards collapsed to her side and started convulsing. It felt like forever, I thought she was dying in front of me. All I kept saying was, Chhaya....Chhaya....Chhaya....baby, baby, baby! I thought my life was over too.
Some people came over, the man said it was OK, that was a seizure, that she would be fine. I was crying by now......panicked.
She came about and sat up, disoriented and whining. I got her in the car, my feet all scraped up from the pavement (I was wearing flip flops and when Chhaya collapsed I threw myself on the ground).
I drove straight to the emergency vet where they observed her and drew blood to test it. Everything came out normal.





We went home, she was still a bit wobbly and she rested......



Later on she was back to normal and we went for a walk and then she wanted to play with all her binkis. But I made sure she took it easy.
That whole thing REALLY scared me, I have never seen a seizure before. WOW.
I hope this was the first and the last.
My friend Juliana's dog Brigitta has seizures frequently, now I understand what they are going through......trust me it is awful.
What could had caused it, neither the veterinarian or I are sure.
I think perhaps she reacted to the dinner I gave her the night before, processed chicken from Trader Joe's. Meaning it had spices and salt, something she had before but that with a combination of a hot day and perhaps she was thirsty and then the vomiting made her tense up and all of that brought on the seizure.
No more processed chicken with sodium and whatever else they add to it. No more.
Well, it's been almost a week and Chhaya is doing good. Me too!

Chhaya is watching me and my posing in between the rocks. I wonder what she was thinking? Probably like......WTF?
The photographer behind the camera that day was Cindy. More pics from that shoot another time.



I just finished a super yummy latte and a huge pastry that reminds me of kanelbulle (Swedish pastry).
Now I am going on a long walk with Chaya, we are going exploring.
It's Friday and nice out. Enjoy!

Last month me and Cindy took a drive to Mount Charleston outside of Las Vegas to do a photoshoot. This was my third shoot with Cindy and this time Chhaya joined.
Here are some of the pics from that shoot (more will be up later).







Look at Chhaya - MY LOVE! Not a day goes by without strangers telling me how beautiful she is. Yes, she is amazing......
