LOVING A DOG

God created the World, then the Man and then the Woman but he must have achieved the balance of life and harmony when he created The DOG.
It would take a real hard stone in place of heart if a pup cannot melt it away. A wagging tail must be the simplest and purest way to draw a smile on any face.

Befriending street dogs or others' dogs would prove you amicable to the species but when you own a dog then you know - Loving a Dog is actually Raising a Dog

One can never forget the first day when you bring a pup into your life. You - holding him in a piece of cloth, close to your heart like you hold a baby and Him - screaming his throat out at you for pulling him into a new place. Then, from being complete strangers, he gives into you and sleeps close to you, snuggling around your arm. That snuggle is definitely more satisfying and melting than a piece of warm chocolate cake into your mouth.

Talking to him, is the first habit you pick up naturally. Explaining him things, asking his opinions and choices, scolding him, pampering him, singing songs to him, calling him a hundred names; his language skills are completely forgotten by you. This is surly the first symptom of loving a dog, but understanding his responses needs a dive deeper into this love.

The first walk with him through the streets, you introduce him to the different terrains, sounds, lights, vehicles and other animals. Some of which scare him and he draws himself between your legs where he knows he will be safe. Nothing can grow you more responsible than that. Watching him peep over the car window, enjoying the blow of wind into his ears and the joyous run chasing the butterflies, when you take him for a field trip; surly simplifies your perception of joy.

And there are these endless moments when he amuses you like the ways of expressing his unlikeliness for a bath or a visit to the vet, his tap dancing when he has some serious nature's call to attend, his possessiveness for you, his ways of expressing gratitude and anger, turning his head from side to side when you talk to him as if he understands every word and his tireless merry-go-round tail chaises.

Its said that you make dog a part of your life but he makes you his complete life. But for someone who loves you so much, it definitely gets more than just a part. With time and love, you decode his wagging tail language, his expressions, his gestures, his likes, his dislikes and then you go deeper celebrating his birthdays, counting his spots, hair in his mustache, number of hours he sleeps in a day, his high jumps, his back to back sneezes and even the number of times he poops in a day. But then, there is no madness limit in loving a dog.

You may lose out on a reason to wake up to every morning unless you have a wagging tail waiting at your bedside.
