Life is not a cake walk for most people; however,
it is specially messed up for dog lovers. From a personal stand point, I face
these issues on a regular basis
Neighborhood roadies cry at night, and I lose my sleep
thinking are they hurt? What if they need medical attention? What if they are
hungry? What if they are feeling cold (There goes my peace of mind straight
outa window)…
Every time I see a hurt dog on the street, first
thing I do automatically is curse the person who did this. If I were a witch
with powers, I dunno how many people would have been cursed by me; but nothing happens
(so I know I am not a witch with powers).
I am always broke at the end of the month as I
spend more than half of my salary trying to feed my neighborhood and office
building dogs. (No regrets there, only wishing that there was more money to
spend on these cutie pies).
When any of my dog friend dies (of natural causes
or otherwise), a piece of me dies as well. The actual feeling is that of someone
trying to scoop my heart out with a spoon or something… (Bidding them farewell
is the most difficult task… EVER!)
Anyone can die in a movie or a TV show and I don’t
care; but if you abandon, hurt or kill the dog, I want to ‘Avada Kedavra’ my TV
for letting that happen! Since it is established before that I am not a witch
with powers, nothing happens to the TV, so the water works starts (like a dam
breaking).
I am almost running outa names to give my roadside
friends now. Names like Patchy Pacharelli, Lady Lola, Serious Sam, Bholi Rani,
Lazy Bum, Kaloo Baba, Tubbs Babu, Granny, Dadu, Romeo, Brown Paper Package,
Buddha Baba, Kali Baby, Spotty Kumari, Inspector Chulbul Pandey, Lado, Gangsta,
Kalia, Chintoo, Lali and Tarzan… have all been given.
(Now I think I will name
them as Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Diana Prince, J’on Jones, Kara Danvers and so
on)
What I am trying to say is even though it sucks
sometimes on an epic level to be an ardent fan of dogs, I would not have it any
other way; if I had to redo my entire life again, I’d still love these fur
balls the same way (or more if possible)…
