Cow of Plenty

"Kamadhenu, also known as Surabhi, is a divine bovine-goddess described in Hindu mythology as the mother of all cows. She is a miraculous "cow of plenty" who provides her owner whatever he desires and is often portrayed as the mother of other cattle. In iconography, she is generally depicted as a white cow. All cows are venerated in Hinduism as the earthly embodiment of the Kamadhenu. As such, Kamadhenu is not worshipped independently as a goddess, and temples are not dedicated to her honor alone; rather, she is honored by the veneration of cows in general throughout the observant Hindu population." ~ Wikipedia

Van Gogh

Welcome to the family.


Angelus was gifted a Red-Eared Slider for his birthday, from his Aunt Julie and Uncle Joe. We have named him Van Gogh; his coloring is beautiful and then there is the ear thing.




Many Native Americans believe the thirteen moons are represented on a turtle’s shell, at least many of the breeds in North America. There are thirteen large segments which represent the thirteen moons which make up the lunar year, the 28 smaller segments around the lower edge of the shell represents the 28 days between new moons.

Just as we said hello to a new family member, we had to say good-bye to our fish Quadling. He was given a "burial at sea" in a private bathroom ceremony. Now, whenever Angelus wants to talk to Quadling, he yells down the toilet to him. Touching.
