The transition from winter to summer is a traumatic time for many. Here in Delhi, where winter is an infinitely preferable state to summer, everyone watches the rising thermostat with unease and more than a little apprehension. Those with delicate constitutions, or in many cases just unlucky, crumble under the merciless onslaught of coughs, colds, bronchial pneumonia and other gifts from the change of season. It really is a miserable time, and all you have to look forward to is the blazing heat of summer.
Of course, my trauma at the hands of what cannot even jokingly be called spring, is more severe and desperately cruel. You see I have two dogs, and while for most of the year, they are sweet, lovable, and mildly inconvenient, come 'spring' and they are transformed from cuddly canines to gigantic balls of walking fur, the only purpose of which is to shed on everything. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. My lungs I am convinced sport internal fur carpeting that would make PETA turn Iran and issue a fatwa for my immediate death. Every piece of clothing I own, almost all of which is black, is now brown. And not a very nice brown either.
Curses to you Mother Nature.

But why would PETA be after you, you didn't shave the dogs and ingest their fur!
Unless you mean they want you for one of their fun photoshoots? ;P
Well wearing fur is a death sentence as far as PETA is concerned. It doesn't matter if its on the inside involuntarily!!
And wow, nice pictures. I wish my dear R, I wish...
Oh there's more, PETA did a whole campaign, such as this, this, this one, this fun one aaaaaaaaaaand my favorite, Eva Mendez
oh you remind me of how my clothes used to end up with little white hairs all over, thanks to the brat. n dat was all year round, coz she simply cudn't stay off my clothes...
R: The "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign truly is awesum. I take you spend much time on the net eh?
Sumit: Ah luckily my dogs are short haired, so I am only afflicted one a year.
That was onCe a year.
Oh and R, I am attempting to finish that monumental tag. Its a killer.
Sigh, Delhi summers - i know and dread what you mean. And am shivering from inside with the fear of bearing them again. Could do with some of that non-peta approved dog fur.
Which also brings memories of my golden lab. You'll miss that brown fuzz all over when they're gone.
Actually summer this time isn't to bad, it'll touch 40 somewhere in the afternoon, but the nights and mornings are still really cool.
Yes I know, I much prefer omnipresent fur to no dog,
