Doggesses


Oh, the gender counterpart of a dog is such an abuse! I dared not post that as head in my blog, lest it should invite a lawsuit!

This is about two of these divine creatures (who is not?) that live out of our house. I mean, literally. They were with the caretaker who was positioned in this house by the owner. One is a white furred pomrenian and the other is her daughter, a prize from a smart Roadesian. Together, they used to think this house as their own. When I first came to see this house, the furred one growled and the other one just kept running round the building, as if the planets have just delegated their job to her! So much so, we called her 'runner'. The furred one was named Shiro by my son, a la that naughty character Shin Chan's ( Japanese cartoon child, who is a menace for his parents, teachers, neighbours and friends due to his precocious naughtiness) mongrel.

Now, Shiro was operated upon by the local municipality fellow and can't be conceive. So it has remained playful, aggressive and extremely funny kind of character. In fact, its a ritual for her to chase a two - wheeler (much to the panic of the riders) or even a truck, with all her worth (she'll remind you of a Cheetah after a hunt) when she sees me returning from somewhere. May be that's her way to confirm that she is not having food daily for nothing - she serves! She is almost a terror for dos double her size, she can chase any one of them away.

Runner, on the contrary, was very playful when I first saw her about 14 months back. She was a child then. This year, she had her share of suitors and delivered a cowardly, creepy little fellow ehich survived the street toughies. That fellow has mellowed down. Incidentally, she was hit once by a car and he front paw almost gave way. We got a doctor and dresses, medicated her. The paw survived and after natural healing, she is back on her four. Her obligation should be seen in her eyes whenever she meets me. We do a paw-shake whenever we meet.

They brighten up my day whenever it is sombre (and its so damned frequent!). These four-legged sweeties are real charmers. I shall post their pics soon.

Ciao
