I jumped out
in a jiffy with a quick jump, skip and hop.
I ignored the screaming and gaping of few
strangers,
And braced
myself for the probable lurking dangers.
To my utter
surprise, a girl picked me and kissed me,
And three
other persons looked lovingly at poor me.
You bet, I
felt wanted and welcomed by this family,
So soon I
was on my way to my new abode happily.
In the car
ride to my home, I was very curious indeed,
If my new
home would have, the love and care I need .
When I entered
my new home, it was love at first sight,
Within few
minutes of entering inside,I lost all my fright,
I broke into
a run from one end of the house to the other,
I was glad
to make my family break into a hearty laughter.
From then on
it was a happy journey of knowing my family,
And the new
environment and also other dogs in the vicinity.
My family
loved to show me off to other men and women,
But I liked
most, being admired and petted by the children.
Soon enough
I became known as quite a famous personality,
As I got to
meet more and more people in my new locality .
A bit more about
my family and with them, my relationship,
How I grew
with them and struck with them a great kinship.
My papa, a
bit scared of me, would try avoiding me initially,
He, later on
went on to become my best friend surprisingly.
My mother,
loved me and took me to school every single day,
She called
me 'educated' and in her cabin would let me stay.
My brother, had
to leave, the very next day, for his work city,
But I sniffed
him enough to know that he is a pet lover and witty.
My sister,
the main reason I joined this family, simply adored me,
She fed me,
bathed me and in all possible ways, pampered me.
Talking of
bath, reminds me of my naughty and mischievous ways,
Which gave
my family members, several fun filled and happy days.
I loved to
dodge after my bath and give my sister and mom a chase,
And believe
me they used to love it when I curled up for a mad race.
My special tactics
were, tricking papa into taking me for an extra walk,
And being
able to communicate every possible thing without a talk.
My love for
raw mangoes and ripe chikoos, took me for an extra round,
And that brought
all the kids and even the watchmen in the compound.
Here, I
would like to share a secret with one and all about myself today,
I always did
an extra prank only because it kept my family happy and gay.
There were
many other family members I met over the years,
Aunts and
Uncles, from India and Canada, many nears and dears.
My favourite one was an adorable sister, her
chubby cheeks all red
Coming all
the way from Canada, she brought for me my lovely bed.
But my most unforgettable journey in the four
years that I have lived,
Was the first ever flight and stay in the city
where my brother resided.
And when he
got married, I could not hold my excitement, in the least,
Merrily I met many more family members and joined in the gala feast .
When I met
my bhabhi, she was too shy and literally scared of me,
But now she
loves me too and wants to own another pug like me.
That was about
my family but there are lot many other people too,
Who have loved
me and took care of me and of course they still do.
A family of
four, that took me over a few times and simply loves me,
And the maid
and the driver who take turns to look after me, you see.
Once on
friendship day the kids made me blush and bloat with pride,
When around
my neck, colourful friendship bands they lovingly tied.
People, who
meet me once or twice, are not able to forget me easily,
They keep
asking about my well being, to which I swirl my tail merrily.
I consider
myself lucky to be showered with so much love and care,
Yes, thank God, I am the special one, I can with
modest pride declare!
Of late, through my sickness and sadness, I have had a realization,
That special ones too have to go through many a trial and tribulation.
We dogs, take away the pain and suffering,even negativity and stress,
Of family members ,friends and strangers in exchange of positiveness.
And we pugs have a history of having lived in the Tibetian Monastries,
And have a deep understanding of Spirituality and life's 'Many Mysteries'.
These special qualities made me vulnerable and gave me sickness and pain,
But it saddens me to see my nears and dears , worry and cry for me in vain.
Their sincere prayers have done wonders and kept me alive all this while,
For which, I would easily do anything more, to make them happy and smile.
I want them and all others to know and realize this fact,once and for all,
That to lead a selfless life and suffer for the sake of others,is not easy at all.
In the bargain,we tend to attract sickness and pain from all those around us,
And we do this, without complaining or taking credit and bare minimum fuss.
We cannot speak but we understand more than what is,'said and explained',
We believe in serving faithfully, without bothering about what we have gained.
We sure have a shorter life span and lesser privileges than the human beings,
But we still consider ourselves as specially blessed and fortunate living beings.
And since I belong to this wonderful species, so sensitive and full of spirituality,
I am indeed very special and so proud of my 'blessed life and unique identity'!
GOD BLESS ALL THE DOGS AND PETS THAT ARE SO
ADORABLE AND BRING SO MUCH MORE LOVE AND
MEANING INTO OUR LIVES!
