“Stay back tomorrow, we got a puppy to take care of”, says my brother.
My feelings: “OMG!!! Is this for real?”
My reaction: “Wow, sure”
I have always adored the canines species. And puppies, I mean… who can resists them. Don’t believe me? see for yourself
Dawn breaks in.
“Wake up”, calls my my brother
“He is here”
Background Check:
This poor little fella was found near my brother’s friend’s place. Alone and scared. Watching him being all by himself and his mom no where around, for nearly 2 days, he decided to hand him over to some safe hands.
I ran out excited but to my surprise I was left speechless. While I expected to see a plump, sweet fella but instead, there he was,skinny, scared and so vulnerable. I was heart broken. I bent over and let him sniff my finger. Hesitant at first, but soon started licking it. I rubbed his head and tried to hold him, but the moment I felt his chest, I could feel his heart thumping so fast that it might stop. Scary as it sounds. But life isn’t a bed of roses after all. His fur was sticky and dirty. Bath was necessary. Turns out, for our buddy over here, cleanliness is not a complete NO NO. As expected, once dried he didn’t come near me. Did not force him either. I watched him, walking here and there until he found his perfect spot for a nap, right next to my teddy bear. In no time, he was asleep. As I watched him drift into his dreams, I wondered,
“What’s his Story?”
“What’s he dreaming about?”
“Probably his mom”, i thought to myself
He might be dreaming about the cheerful days with his siblings. Constant nurturing by mom. And must be wondering “What happened?”
Guess we will never know
He opened his eyes to see me staring at him. He must wondering “Get a life! :D”
Up and ready to play, only after some food. Out of all the things I gave him to play with or chew. He loved the taste of our carpet. Loved it so much that he pooped on it. There is always a point when you know they aren’t all fun as you hoped for. They are just like kids. Startled, and a bit disgusted for starters, i cleaned him and then the carpet. Believe me, that is one dirty job nobody would love! ;) He sitting on his favorite spot watched me clean the mess, he seemed ashamed and embarrassed. I went all Awwww. After all the running and cleaning i got tired too. And after he went to sleep, I decided to grab one as well. Waking up at intervals to keep a check on him, of course!
First Peep: Me near the bean bag on one side of the room and he, on his favorite spot at the other side
Second Peep: Me still near the bean bag and he, parallel to my feet, pushing himself against the wall.
Third peep: Me still near the bean bag and he, parallel to my arms
Fourth Peep: This was when I felt his breath against my neck as he squeezed his tiny self near my neck. Feeling was divine.
Well, that’s how we became friends and got ourselves some beauty sleep. The dusk approached and so was the time to bid farewell. He is in safe hands now. And just like he touched my heart, I decided that when I am ready, I will give such a soul like his, a HOME.
