Interesting reaction.

As i consider your point, i realise that perceiving water buffalo to be cuddly is a very different viewpoint, maybe they are more pat pat than cuddly. Also, i have lived with mrs douglas for a long time and maybe she has influenced me in this area.

It is her views i am partially expressing here i think, although i do concur. We used to keep horses and she certainly cuddled her mare, quite rightly so, it was the brightest horse i ever met. She also likes the smell of horses too, particularly the smell of her mare which was particularly strong.

We even considered having a house built where the horses could live in the house with us, thats how close we all were!

Our horses have long since died , but my wife has since transferred that affection to other four legged creatures eg water buffalos so she naturally wants to cuddle them and smell them as before.

As i write this i am realising that mrs douglas is as odd as douglas is, if not more so.

I think its a matter of perception, i dont see animals as a separate species, but part of the whole beauty of existence. Some people are cuddly , so are some animals and not necessarily the rounded ones, the attraction is internal as well as external.

If kids were brought up with water buffalos instead of plastic, i think they would naturally cuddle them.

I hope some of this makes sense.

regards
douglas

Tell your wife never to buy from the fruit sellers - the shacks well what you don't see doesn't worry you.
Fruit lady - what I said - hole in ground - whoopsie - hand, then cutting the fruit for the FN.
and all this under HAPPY MEALS.

As long as douglass picture is the biggest one thats ok.

Dont quite understand all this astonishment about shitting on the beach.

If you go to morjim early in the morning you will see the men squatting on the beach, often with a toothbrush stuck in their mouths.The women shit in the fields, separate sex ablutions is the norm.

The reason a lot of goans shit outside, is because they dont have toilets at home.

Welcome to india, they wipe or wash with the left hand and eat with the right. Much of the world adopts this protocol.They must think we are really odd using toilet paper.

I have flown air india and indian air and one or both of them show a video to the passengers on how to use the toilet on the aircraft.
