(LK) Holiday-opportunity for animal-lover in Sri Lanka

[Guest guest]

Living with 40 dogs and 10 cats is like living with 50 Boddhisattvas... for

someone, who has the sensitivity to feel their love and to understand their

silent language. Their territory happens to be a spacious house in a spacious

(walled) garden with a fantastic view in the hill-country of Sri Lanka with its

lovely mild climate and they invite you to stay with them for a month or longer

next summer. Their caretaker would like to visit her aging parents in the

country of her birth (Germany) and therefore she has to leave her adopted family

of 50 four-leggeds in the care of someone, who would like to spend next

summer-holidays in exactly such a place: peaceful and quiet... except for

occassional outbreaks of barking or huuuu! ...usually if someone comes this way,

which doesn't happen often. Most of the cats and dogs are between one and three

years, few oldies are also amongst them, one is slightly handicapped, all are

rescued strays... but they seem to have forgotten their past. In the morning a

lovely young lady called Anoma comes from the nearby village to feed them and to

clean the house for four hours, in the late afternoon Chutti-Akka comes to cook

the breakfast, and to give the evening-meal. Both of them love the animals and

take good care of them, but you are needed to be around, not necesssarly round

the clock every day, but much of the time. The house has all the comforts you

may need, including telephone and Internet-access. Two other German

animal-lovers and rescuers live two minutes away with another 60 dogs and will

assist you if you need a translator to communicate with Anoma and Chutti-Akka,

or any other help. If you feel this is meant for you, please e-mail us soon!

p.s.: of course a Sri Lankan would also be welcome... if there is one, who is

free to spend a month away from home.
