Tsunami!


A misleading title!

When we lost Ranger, we vowed never to get a dog again. Well there was only a certain limit to which i could control myself. Though i knew mum would hang me and dad would disown me, after much debate, Abhi myself and Mohee went and picked up a pup - a fawn lab. The first thing he did was to chew the sacred thread on Abhi's wrist. Ranger was back! I was sure of that.

We brought him home. One week of battle for mum and dad to accept him. Funny though it sounds, i even threatened to leave the house with this new pup. We named him Buddy.

Buddy - the name sounds all sweet, and cuddly. Much later we felt, we should have named him Tsunami. He literally runs around the house and chews anything he can lay his eyes on. Mind you, even if it were 3 times his size he doesnt care too much.

He's four months old now. He wakes up at 5 am and howls till Mum feeds him his Oats and Milk. He will scratch the door, if any of us decided to go for a bath. If mum arranges all his play things (which includes a coconut shell!!!), his immediate task would be to topple the whole thing over. Before he sleeps, he ensures that his duties are done - ripping whichever news paper is around!

Inspite of all this, well he sure is a bundle of joy. Much of what he does resembles Ranger. The places where he sleeps, the way he sits, the things he chews, including pulling out the Washing machine tube only to end up with a whole lot of water on his head!


Welcome back Ranger aka Buddy!
