Dog is boy's best friend

Dog is man's  boy's best friend


Ok Ok.Go ahead and judge me for giving this toy to my son. Well , it was never meant for him. CS won this toy (for the first time ever since I knew him) playing some silly games in the Portland Rose festival fair  circa 2005.

All these years this doggy majestically sat at the back seat of my car (never took it out of my car). At times it scared the hell out of me, when I opened the back door to keep my laptop on those late night working days.


Somebody (read sleep deprived appa) brought this toy indoors when we brought NR home from hospital.  Then that somebody entertained the son with the ugly dog all the time.  Now that some body's son is head over heels in love with this dog.  The ugly dog gets umpteen kisses (I mean real french kisses) and hugs from the little guy every single day. It's  funny to watch my son  admiring and adoring this ugly dog.  When ever anybody says the word dog in the house or in TV,  he runs crawls to get his dog.


It's not a secret from where he  inherited this love for puppies. Mom had puppies from 4th grade (Kaisy then Dipsy then Neema). I was heart broken when my last dog died and never  wanted to get another pup again. But I have been warming up to the idea of getting a dog for quiet some time (quiet some time is last 4-5 yrs and CB puts his foot down and says no . He knew he will ultimately end up being the dogs official care taker)


Pappa had a wonderful time with his dog Micky for 13 yrs in life.  The two people who visits papa regularly in his dreams are -  his Ammuma and his dog Micky. There was a time when pappa had 5 dogs at a time under one roof ( I have no idea how my MIL managed to feed 4 humans and 4 dogs three hot meals daily). As per MIL,  Micky is CB's first girl friend . And yes it was coz  that overly possesive female dog  never allowed me to talk to CB peacefully even for minute when I used to visit him in his house.


Now mamma is happy (letting out a wicked smile) that this little boy will melt his pappa's heart to get him a dog for his 5th birthday. That somebody's wife is determined to train her son to melt his dad's heart to get her wish fulfilled .
