Its hardly been a year since Husky our labrador retriever has joined our family but has become such an integral part of our lives. Before we got him i always thought that we might not look after the pet well enough since we, people of today, live in such a hectic schedule. Hehehe but today when i look at us doting on husky like the way we do where we are celebrating his 1st birthday this coming friday with some labs coming in for a party its a lovely feeling.
The party we are hosting for Husky has this pair of female labs named Elizabeth and Britney and they are absolutely gorgeous looking labs. And then we have Tushi a female lab and her son Bullet. Oh what a time its going to be just imagine we are going to give Husky exclusive dog toys and a bed and pillow for him. Wow i wish i was a dog in the house lovely na?. And to top it all we have doggy treats for them and vanilla icecream which these five labs just love hogging on. Well i will definitely post more on this after the party.
Definitely anyone who loves animals is a very compassionate person. I never realised how beautifull a relationship one can share with ones pet. Like just sometime back i ran to my room to hide from husky n scare him like we do with children to see his reaction and i found no diferent a reaction than any one of us would, that of a surprsied/scared. Oh so... cute i just flipped for his cuteness. Adorable. He brings a smile to my face everytime i look at him or even think of him. .JPG)
He's so much a part of my life that now i cant go anywhere if i've to look after Husky because i feel responsible towards him. I dont mind if i skip my walk but dont want to deprive him of his walk 3 times a day. And no matter how late i sleep i wake up early in the morning to take him for his walk. Imagine even when i go out am costantly following up with my mum and maid as to whether he's eaten or not whether he's walked or not. Infact all of us at home mom, dad, sister, brother are always thinking of him before ourselves. Almost like haveing a little baby at home. That reminds me that our maid- Ganga used to always make a face at the thought of us keeping a dog even told us that i will not look after a dog, But hats off to her today she's so fond of him that she plays with him talks to him and pets him. Now thats the power of a loveing pet.
Its amazing to see how sensitive this creature is that everytime i cry or am upset without me having to utter a word he comes to console me..... We are really ignorant if we think that these creatures that cannot speak are dumb. They definitely put us to shame with their qualities of loyalty, sensitivity and love.
I'm thankfull to 18th feb 2008 when i went to recieve husky from a near by hotel when he came as a pup all the way from kolapur. I think everyone shuld look after some animal or the other in any capacity possible. Just makes you a more beautifull person.
(note: the picture you see above was when Husky was 4 months old and now he's 13months old so will post a recent picture after his b'day party)
Many Congrats on your first post!! And believe me when i say, Its a great beginning.
ReplyDeleteYou must write more about Husky for there is a lot you can share about regarding bringing him up and looking after him. I'm myself looking forward to Husky's B'day bash with elizabeth,britney, tushy and bullet!
More importantly i hope you carry on writing for you do have a clear flow of thought and A LOT OF THOUGHTS TOO!!!!
Looking forward to reading more...
love always...

ReplyDeleteKeeping pets, especially intelligent ones, for me is akin to taking a human being and transplanting it in the midst of wolves. Rudyard Kipling's character, the man-cub Mowgli, is testament, albeit a fictional one, to the way a long-lasting bond can be forged between man and animal.
ReplyDeleteBut one fact cannot be overlooked - how one cares for a pet is what makes all the difference, which is similar to our own lives in that how we treat each other is what makes us either fond of or cautious of the people around us.
Husky is surrounded by loving, caring people and he returns that love in his own doggy style, hehe. Loyalty is a virtue best kept for those who deserve it... try treating Husky badly and you will see the change in behaviour immediately. So even a dog is liable to bite back when the need arises as not one creature on God's Earth is willing to let itself be abused. Your statement in the second last paragraph is something that I wish many would take to heart and learn from.
Anyhow, Husky is heading towards adulthood. Adults need companionship. Husky will be lucky to be introduced to a mate by you folks I suppose. This raises just one question: are dogs loyal to each other as well?
