Rabbits, roses and rainbow fish β oh my, By TRINA SEVERSON, Staff ...
Alli-Kat Floral and Pets is an oasis for anyone who needs a little flora or fauna. Owned by Alli Holwell-Ruelle, the floral shop blooms with a novel assortment of houseplants, floral displays, all-occassion balloons, and unique handmade gifts. The pet shop beckons those who dress their pets with an entire wall of pet clothing that ranges from warm functional coats and boots to runway-worthy fashion pieces adorned with sequins and faux furs, and designer collars and leashes. Beyond that, the aisles are stocked with the full spectrum of small pets and their supplies. Faces of almost every size and shape look out at customers β from chinchillas and rabbits to birds and fish β even Asian flying geckos. βAnd if we don't have it, we can special order it," says Holwell-Ruelle.
Why we should tour Pakistan
The most popular theory in Pakistan is that it is connected to President Pervez Musharraf. If that is true, the attack was narrowly political, which means the assassins will have no quarrel with a visiting cricket team. But let us assume instead that Bhutto was the victim of a terrorist attack. This should not automatically deter us. As Lawson observed, such violence "happens around the country a fair bit, but it doesn't happen at sporting venues. I don't walk around Lahore looking over my shoulder. It's a normal life." In fact, there are good reasons for the tour to go ahead. It may seem odd, but in the immediate aftermath of a terrorist attack, often the best response is to ensure life goes ahead as closely to normal as possible.
