I have never had a pet and so have never had a chance to be close to any animal. The closest I ever got to a pet is when my bro-in-law got a German Shepherd puppy for my sister. My in-law was an absolute dog-lover and my sister who was pretty much like me till then, got close to Vincy as the dog grew and became very much part of the family.
Then they moved onto a bigger independent house and the most obvious happened. There were more dogs. They bought a Great Dane pup (Britney) and also started taking care of a Boxer (Tara) and a Miniature Pinscher from known friends. They were as awesome and lovely as much as they were naughty. I used to visit them frequently during holidays and my love for dogs kept growing little day by day. I used to be very reluctant to even go near them, but then they used to recognise me very well and started playing around and then we used to take pictures with them too. They were never just pets and more of a part of the family.
All was well until they had to plan for shifting their house. These days, independent houses are a rarity and they decided to move on to an apartment somewhere closer to their offices. But there, its impossible to have so many dogs with you. So, they had to take a hard decision of giving the dogs away (except Vincy as it was their very first dog). Britney like all Great Danes is very reserved and doesn't move well with people so easily. She is so fond of my sister and wasnt so close with anyone else. A family in AP was ready to adopt them and today they took the dogs with them. Really felt so bad. It was like parting ways with a member of the family. If someone like me who wasnt so close to the dogs, could feel so much, I can understand how sad it must be for my sister and bro-in-law. Feeling very sad for them. I sincerely hope that the dogs are in good health and stay happy wherever they go. Am sure they will stay so as they are very smart and intelligent creatures.
Pets are wonderful. Pets like dogs are not just Man's best friend but more of a companion and an integral part of the family. Hopefully I shall adopt a pet soon. But the difficult thing is when they have to leave you, either due to death or due to some circumstances like the one above.

Hey Ram,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the space for our kutties. Even i hope the same that both would be managing themselves well. I offer prayers for them every day for their long & healthy life.
Miss them a lot......!!!
Could not wave off all the memories of their mischievous behaviour, messing up the house sometimes, games played with us, the running race, stealing my hubby's fish fry, hiding articles, balls, choc covers, mango seed at the backside of cupboard, hunting snakes etc., etc., Miss them everyday....... :-(
