Saturday : Smiles and Tears

This Saturday started on a lazy note. I got up at 10 in the morning and was treated with a nice cup of tulsi-ginger tea by our house-maid, Bubbly Auntie :) She is with us for past 12-13 years and for past two years she is the one who prepares tea for me every morning. I am absolutely addicted to that tea. So, I woke up and found Happy Singh next to my bed wagging his tail. He gave me his usual Good Morning kiss(lol...he has this habit of kissing people on their nose)...and jumped off to catch up with his buddy Rustam on the terrace. I love Saturdays...they are so lazy ;) Honey cooked grilled sandwiches for breakfast and they were yummy. Mom had her skool so she came home at lunchtime and all of us prepared the lunch together. It was so much fun. I love such moments...when all of us are working together and sharing silly jokes in the process... ;) This is what I call real-bonding...and thts wat families are for... In the evening when Mom went for her walk n me was watching a movie(while watching the movie I thought I wud blog abt it for sure), I heard the bell and somehow I guessed something is wrong with Happy...Ah! Ankit kept the door ajar and Happy ran outside... Shuh! I hate such mistakes...coz me and mom keep insisting at home that the men of our house need to realise that they have certain responsibilities they shud cater to...All guys in my house except Sunny are so irresponsible when it comes to closing the door when they leave the house... Its really scary on the roads and I was so damn worried about Happy. He is so small and such a kid...we have so many street dogs around and last time they caught hold of him, they almost killed him :( Finally I had to run in my capris looking for him coz I know he gets furious with Ankit and Honey so I HAD to go, find him and bring him back... We have a temple near my place and it was so crowded...Somehow I managed to find Happy and Ankit told me that how when he tried to pick Happy up forcefully he bit him on his hand... :( I felt so bad for him and for Happy too...I am a dog-lover and am not the one who wud punish them....but I knew Dad wud get furious at him for this... :( I urged Ankit not to create a scene in front of Dad...after all itz also my bros fault...first they provoke the dogs and then they expect them to be disciplined... I always tell them that dogs learn what you teach them...and if you guys treat them with no discipline, they will bounce back... Anyways, I requested both him and Dad to spare Happy...but he was punished really bad for this...I understand he bit Money...but...after a long time I cried out of anger and helplessness when I could not reach out to him... :( I donno why but when Mom came back from her walk I cried like anything coz I cannot see anyone being hurt in any manner. Happy is not my first dog.I have spent last 7 years of my life with Caesar. He was a Bulgarian Spitz and my first dog. I loved him so much and when Happy was being rebuked for what he did, I could not take it. I have been with Happy from the time when he was all of 20 days or so...I have fed him with my hands, have shared every day with him and I just can't tolerate anyone hurting him...I cried and cried until mom assured me that no one will ever hurt him... I donno why I get so sensitive when it comes to people I love...I think itz the same with everyone, we go out of our way to make sure that the people we love are safe... I made Happy sleep on my lap and made sure he felt comfortable with his share of care and affection...I love him :) While am writing this post, Happy is sleeping peacefully and I know this was the last time that I let someone hurt him... I know I will discipline him with love...and am sure abt it.
