Happy Kukur Tihar, to our sweet friend Alice. She was born on the streets of Kathmandu and our friends @heyslaw and @babyfennelhearts helped get Alice to us in 2020. (she came to us with the name, named after Alice B. Toklas) Alice is a sweet rascal who enjoys the smallest things in life, and has been the sweetest dog to raise a baby around. Sometimes when i’m done crying about missing Casper and Dorota on the road. The tears just keep coming for my best friend Alice. Kukur Tihar is a nepalese holiday that celebrates and worships dogs, parallel with Indian Diwali. Give your pup an extra treat today, and a longer walk and sweeter scratch. Here- a Nepalese blessing for the well being and love of dogs everywhere: कुकुर धेरैप्रिय जनावर हो बफादारको साथै मायालु र निस्वार्थि पनि एकसानो गाँस रोटीमा पनि हरपल सन्तुष्ट रहने कुकुर तिहारको शुभकामना And here- a haiku I wrote for Alice also.
