Buddy Visits Lowe's!
I've said it before: Buddy was not a dog that I needed to have. As a breeder, I have had as many as a couple of dozen dogs at a time, including the eight who currently live in the house with me. As I stated in the previous article about Buddy, I'm the "keeper of the males" when it comes to the Toy Fox Terriers. Adding another intact male dog upsets the balance for quite some time, which is not a task that I always want to undertake. It was predictable, then, that when I brought Buddy home with me internal turmoil existed for quite some time.

Mount Chiltan and the Markhor: A Wildlife Conservation Miracle in Balochistan
If someone has never seen Balochistan or does not know much about it, they might assume that this mountain is located in some remote area of the province. After all, when wildlife is disappearing across Balochistan, how could such a large number of markhors possibly exist near the province’s largest city? But Mount Chiltan is not only located next to Quetta, the capital of Balochistan the city’s population has expanded right up to its foothills. How Did the Mountain Get the Name Chiltan? It is commonly believed that a dervish once lived in this mountain with his 40 children. Because of these forty children or brothers, the mountain came to be known as “Chiltan”. This is not just hearsay; the same story is even included in school textbooks in Balochistan. However, Nazir Ahmed Kurd, who serves as Deputy Conservator of Forests at Hazarganji Chiltan National Park, disagrees with this explanation. According to him, the story about the 40 brothers is incorrect. “In fact, there are 40 different locations in this mountainous region, each with its own specific name. That is why it is called Chiltan,” he said. He added that they invite officials responsible for the education curriculum to visit and conduct proper research with them so that accurate information about the mountain’s name can be included in textbooks.
