We have been struggling with how to get rid of the flies

breeding in the kitchen because mom hasn't always kept

the kitchen sparkling clean, you might say...so it isn't the

fault of the flies, why kill them because she don't clean the

kitchen? So, she decided not to kill, cleaned the kitchen,

removed the screens from the windows, and invited them

to leave and fly free...

Some have. Some, not so much. Some died. In the coffee cup.

(and if it was the last coffee in the house...and mom really

wanted coffee, no, of course NOT!)

We found this video for mom. Now she feels better. And is

doing a much better job keeping the kitchen clean.

But mosquitoes, not so easy!

We are her Little Buddhas. Although, because of his lust

for stealing Raj Mahal's treats (after he has grabbed his

own and hidden them in his pigloo) we may rename

Taj Mahal the "GimmePiggie" since he has not renounced

FOOD SNATCHERY. We feel certain he never will. He

enjoys it too much. And mom gives Raj more anyway.

So he feels like it is his contribution to mom and Raj,

to teach them non-attachment. WE DOESN'T BUY IT!

But we acts like we does.

The GimmePiggie...what would Buddha do?
