we just gave up our dog………… he is gonna be with a breeder for a while or so we hope……. if he settles we might not get him back… its the best for him….. in past four years he has been the best pal i have had….. he probably has seen me happy, sad, crying, angry, cribbing etc more times than my husband…….

he is someone who has been with me thru thick and thin……….. someone who took care of me when i was pregnant …… moved around like a shadow……

well here is the story……. joey became a part of our lives when he was 45 days old……. he was brought up in the same fashion like my daughter is being…. no yelling, no screaming and alot of please and sorry and thank you…… i remmber he use to sleep on his back when we first bought him and i use to get worried thinking that was abnormal……… but that was just joey…..

i wasnt very fond of dogs ……. frankly speaking i think dogs and kids both look great at neighbours house……. guess what now i have both of them…….. what an irony !!!! so where was i joey…… when i got pregnant joey was almost a year old…. or a little older than that, he is a peace loving soul.. never really created a ruckus about anything……… there were times during my pregnancy that i was sick and i forgot to give him his food and this darling of mine not even a sound from him…………

then raadny came around…….. he is extremely fond of her……. though they have the sibling rivarly and feeling for eachother to that effect….. but they cant stay without eachother …… i remember my mom telling me that she feels like a theive when she comes home as joey and now raadny then to act as if they are keeeping an eye on her…. what if she takes something…………heheheh

joey is lab but he rarely behaves like one…… most lab are all over the people who come home ….. joey is alittle different he has his own space and hates when people intrude……… he hates when he is deprived of his sleep by any guest…… including us …… no messing with afternoon and nite sleep……….. he loves when he gets corn and biscuits but doesnt necessary drool when raadny is eating…….everyone else can turn their faces to wall and eat if they dont like the dog looking at them………. he likes it when i am cooking coz he always accompanies me in the kitchen…….. again never near the food………. well what to say….. he is a “good boy ” a phrase that he loves to listen too………

i can go on and on about joey…….. he has filled our life with something that is unspeakable or rather words are too small for it…………….. the reason i sat down to pen this blog was i woke up with a nite mare its 5.30 in the morning and i cant go off to sleep ……. i saw i was being robbed and when i screamed for joey he wasnt there……… i hate the bare thought of he not being there ……. in past four years he is the best companion i have had compared to any of my human and non human counter parts……..

he makes me feel secure and takes care of raadny without me being worried about nething….. u should see him when we go for walks and raadny wanders off………. its a scene ….. he is busy pissing with checking raadnys whereabouts……. hehehehe

its fun to have pet a home……but a small piece of advice to everyone who plans to buy a dog…. try and not get attached to the dog so much on emotional front……… that u cant think straight without he being around, when humans betray u, u tend to get over it coz they are made that way……………. when Ur dog is not around…. its difficult to get around it……. coz the promise that he would always be there for u …… remains in his eyes even when u let him go……………..

P.S: we got our dog back from his foster home within 15 days … he now 8 years old and has the same or rather more elaborate set of rules for us to live by 🙂
