A HALLOWEEN DIWALI.

Say What?

Today is Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights that brings in the Hindu New Year. 

For a few years now I've noticed that Diwali and All Hallow's Eve occur close together, sometimes on the same day. They weren't on the same day this year, but my daughter is having a Halloween party at home today. And it's Diwali!

So here we are, celebrating two festivals multiculturally. 

MANY MASTERS LOTS OF CONFUSION

April 8th: Truffles Kothari's 4th birthday. Yay! I have to, have to do a post on him. 

Truffles came to us when he was only 10 weeks old. My daughter, husband and I went to get him from Brooklyn (first and only time I've been to Brooklyn, but that's another post altogether.)

We went, we saw a litter of puppies and I wanted the tiniest, prettiest one but my husband said he and my son would not be caught dead walking a pretty and cute dog. He wanted a manly man's dog. Now, a Maltese isn't a manly man's dog but I valiantly did not point it out to my manly man then. So we found a scruffy, unkempt enough, dog to suit him and my son named him Truffles. (after the white chocolate, not the mushroom.) I wanted to name him Henry, the Eighth, but was vetoed unanimously.

4 years later, we do have a manly man's Maltese. Truffles has broken records as being the biggest, sweetest, most lovable and thorough confused Maltese in the world. (They do say a dog reflects his owner. Heehee.)

Watch how we confuse poor Truffles by clicking the sentence below.

Trick or Treat, Truffles?

HAPPY HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY MY PRECIOUS POOCHIE. WE LOVE YOU!
