My pet Dog Sheru

The furlough from blogging this time was exceptionally long, and now I am facing what we define as a writer's inertia, not that i am a writer, but having an inertia nevertheless.

I have decided to write on a very simple topic, a topic that kids learn to write and speak on in kindergarten, that was in my times, now they know it  may be even as they learn to speak.

During my brief tarriance in New Delhi this week,  I was fascinated by the antics of our farm dog, Sheru.
My parents are very fond of traveling so we could never afford the luxury of having an animal as a pet, but when they started living in Delhi, they found a pup who had come wandering to the farm, it was super cute and looked of a good breed so we got it home, it has grown into a handsome dog now, every time i see this dog, i get a feeling that dogs have been created to be domesticated, you don't have to train them to be faithful to you, a loving glance with a small of glass of milk is all it takes to earn the loyalty of a life time.Irrespective how tired one is from the day's work, regardless of how late one comes back home, there is this fellow waiting to greet you with a wagging tail, running after your car, and waiting till you get out, escorting you till your room and then relaxing that you are back.

When my mother goes and feeds  the cows, it is jealous that they are also getting a part of her attention, and barks at each and every cow, it drives the monkeys that eat away the fruits, reports its success and also waits for a nod of approval. it has recently learned  that it is photogenic too, now every time it sees any of us with the camera hanging down our necks, it makes a point to follow us. this time my flight from Delhi was at six in the morning, so we had to leave from home as early as 0330 and I had Sheru there to wish me good bye !
 There is not a minute of loneliness with it around,  i don't know how do animals realize what you expect of them.

i don't know if all the dog owners feel the same, but I have come to realise how good it is to have a pet at home.

Liebe Grüße
