Around 9 in the evening Rory’s mood seemed to change. He would not eat, or hop about. He just sat there shaking with his eyes half closed. We thought it was perhaps nothing and it would pass. We were all up late and around 1:40 in the morning fear set in to our warren. Rory was most likely ill. He still would not eat or drink or hop. Even his mate Hunny couldn’t cheer him up.

After a phone call, I got them into their travel carrier and carefully placed them into the back seat of our car. Kristen sat with them and we drove up tot he hold neighborhood and it’s emergency pet clinic.

Today is India’s 60th Republic Day commemorating the adoption of India’s constitution formally creating the world’s largest democracy.

Like every other blog on earth, I need to say something about today! 8 years of the worst government this nation has seen are over and today hope walked back into Washington DC.

My life is great and I’m usually a happy guy, but to witness history in 42” of HD glory made me a little more optimistic than usual.

Anyway, here’s to the hard work and better days ahead.

YES WE CAN!

Saturday night I went out and got my 2nd tattoo. Pashe at One Shot Tattoo took my drawing and did an amazing job with the design. I’d wanted to get this one for years and I’m glad I finally did it. The design is of Lion Capital of Ashoka which is now the national emblem of India. Around 250 BCE, Emperor Ashoka had these lion capitals as markers of his rule (as well as displaying his laws) all over the Indian subcontinent. Anyway, Pashe did this for me in 2 hours. Check it out:

The whole process took 2 hours (+ 15 minutes for Pashe to take my drawing and prepare the transfer). It didn't hurt that much until Pashe got up to the inside of my elbow.

That’s right! Rory and Hunny can now be seen at their very own blog: Rabbit Kastle dot com.
Drop by and check out the pictures of their silly antics.
