Taiping Zoo

My husband and I purposely took leave (I need to clear my leave anyway due to the coming maternity leaves) to go to Taiping to visit the zoo. It has been more than 5 years since we last went there, and it was quite memorable. In fact, we prefered Taiping Zoo compared to National Zoo in KL and Singapore Zoo as the track is easier to walk and animals are easier to see, though this will translate to being a smaller confinement area for the animals which would be unhealthty.

Most animals are in the shades to avoid the rain

Too bad our visit was cut short as it was raining in Taiping throughout the day.

Shirt Eating Dog

We saw a cute t-shirt in Jusco for pets, super sharp pink colour with wording "Must Love Dog" and bought it so that Tanzie can wear it. It costs about RM28 if I remember correctly.

That night, we dressed her with the T-Shirt, and she looked so adorable. Since the color was so stricking, we can see her running happily around the house compound in the dark. Thinking only to remove the t-shirt tomorrow so that we can save it for her to wear during CNY but it was too late. The next morning, we can see pieces of the t-shirt lying everywhere on the ground.

Pet as Food?

There's an episode of the The F Word shown in the Asian Food Channel in Astro recently, where 2 pets (which are pigs) of Gordon Ramsey was slaughtered and cooked as food instead. Since these pigs were pets, they were given names as well. In fact, his children are happy when eating the pork and knowing that it was their pets. I'm not sure whether this should be a normal reaction, feeling happy of eating your own pets after loving and taking care of them for so long.
