Paw Tales

Missing my pet…….. I lived without a pet for three years. Those years were bad since I am the only child of my parents, I did not have anyone my age to talk to, play, share secrets. I pleaded to my parents to get me a dog. But “NO” was always the answer because my grandmother was not comfortable with pets. I was really sad for those three years. A chance to hope…… Then finally one day, I…

Zoey, an adorable and full of love Labrador, was abandoned by her former family at five months of age. Their reason was they weren’t aware of the commitment required to care for a pet. Luckily, she was rescued in the nick of time by YODA (Youth Organisation in Defence of Animals) who sheltered her temporarily. Owing to Zoey’s young age and energy levels, YODA decided to find her a foster home so…

Here’s an insight into a fascinating story of every emotion known to human involved, thus making me believe that ‘My Dog is My God’. MAGIC is the name! Yup you read it right. I call him MAGIC because he is ‘magical’ in every sense of our journey so far. Now, know how this ‘magic’ happened to me. It was on 6th July 2015, with the help of a clutch and a friend, I was very reluctant going out of my…

When my wife insisted on having a furry friend we brought home a Lab puppy of three months who was round and very naughty. That’s why we named him Robbie Williams! He is very playful and loves to go for drive anytime! In fact, it’s mandatory that he must be taken for a drive daily around the block. When Dr Elizabeth Thomas of Pet Oasis was instrumental in suggesting a partner for Robbie Williams,…

Last year, a street dog gave birth to six young ones, out of which only one female puppy survived. I gave medical care to the pup when she got hurt. Since then, she and her mother became friends with me. I named the little puppy Choti (which means ‘younger’) and her mother Mothi (which means ‘older’). Few months later, Mothi again gave birth to six young ones. It was amazing to see that both Mothi…

Buddy – my brother came into my life forcefully. I remember how his mother brought this little angel to my home. The first time I had got him in my hands that cute little blue eyes were just looking at me and he hissed to scare me. Slowly Buddy became a big naughty boy of the family and the way he used to climb the curtains and get down again jumping from here to there, making my dad get up in…

My pet Zozo is one I care most after my parents. He taught me how you love others and he taught me the real meaning of love. There are so many things I want to own in life, such as good job, house, car... the list is endless but Zozo just wants to be loved and that’s it! For him, I’m his whole life and this is how we truly love each other. Zozo came to my life on 15th August 2011. He was very…

Here introduced is our little boy Baxter the prankster. He loves biting wood. We had plain furniture before we had Baxter and now we have a carved one. Usually trees have roots underneath. But trees in our garden have their roots above the ground. Credit must go to Baxter. He’s nothing other than a chalta-firta soft toy. We love him a lot. He’s a family member, not a pet or not just a dog. Our…

Meet my Buzo. He is approximately six years old today. I rescued him from a bunch of gypsies in Gurgaon (Delhi NCR). I wanted to foster him and give him a good home but never knew that his new home will be with me. Every single day I want to go home at the earliest so that I can play with Buzo. With him I feel he is my handsome boy for life. I treasure him more than anyone. He is Swati’s special.…

A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun, Too faithful to leave, to frightened to run  He's been here for days now with nothing to do But sit by the road waiting for you  He can't understand why you left him that day He thought you were stopping to play  He's sure you'll come back and that's why he stays How long will he suffer? How many more days?  His legs have grown weak, his throat's parched…

These are a few of my favorite things……..   I am sparkle a  3 year old great guy(spaniel)… I love my Mom and Dad and ensure that they dance to my tunes -  I certainly have trained them well. I love my morning walks specially the times when I meet my friends sasha(lab) & pixie ( pom). I make it a point to keep people around me busy and insist that all my needs are met- specially my walks-…

Life is beautiful Kiki, our eight-month-old Persian cat is a bundle of fun. Incidentally, she has been named after the cat owned by Mother of Auroville, Pondicherry. She just loves to play. Her favourite toys are paper and plastic bags to go inside and prance around. She loves to watch TV quietly with family but her favourite is Tom and Jerry. The way she reacts to the television show needs to be…

Simba! That’s what my family and I decided to name him. He is an awesome guy from the day he came home. He gelled with his new home the day he stepped in. Ever since he came home our home is filled with joy and happiness. This is my first paw pet and the journey so far has been so incredibly awesome. Simba goes to school where he gets to socialise with his friends. I make sure Simba meets at least…

The poor soul Bonzoi, most of the time is hunting for food, fresh water and shelter. He is deprived of all these. Having no other option, he usually picks unhygienic leftovers from public eating places. Subsequently he falls ill. To add to his problems he has a large family, consisting of his female partner, who is locally known as Timmie and their six pups. The human world is pacing in speed day…

A mother holds her child’s hand for just a short time, but holds her heart forever! On a cold February morning, I woke up early and greeted the sun rays by drawing the curtains apart. To my surprise, Timmie, a stray, who dwells in the abandoned plot in front of my house, was all cuddled up and was trying to hide something very precious. Needless to say, the next moment I found myself in that plot,…

Jenny came to me in November 2011 when she was barely one month old, looking flustered, scared and lost. My first sight of her, I remember she was sitting in the carton on the front seat of the car looking confused and I on seeing her remarked, “So damn cute!” It feels like it all happened just yesterday. Well, now she is of three and a half years old but for me she will always be my baby and now…

Atiny pup outside my house took my heart away. One day, it was raining cats and dogs. I told my wife that I had something special for her. I picked up the tiny furry fellow in the rain and brought him home. After an instant, I observed two states - first, my wife was angry; second my eight months old daughter Paridhi was ecstatic. I told my wife to check out Paridhi who was on the seventh planet…

It was a normal hectic day with me rushing to school. I was driving past the commandant’s bungalow and just about to turn towards my school when I saw a small brown furry ball running after my car. My children squealed in delight on watching him chase my car. As much as I would have loved to slow down I couldn’t stop as I was getting late on the job. As the day progressed I completely forgot about…

I woke up after three long hours and Kanupriya's hands were still working and working and working… The same dull study table, the same boring atmosphere and the same lazy me! Will these exams never end? She had the same stern look and her hands were moving to and fro with the same speed. It was enough! I couldn't take it anymore. She even forgets my evening walk when she studies. I call it rotten,…

Today I am a lucky person to have dog in my house and of course to help a dog outside my house. But this actually was not easy. One day in December 2009 we went to a breeder who led us to a kennel where many Labs were kept. But there was only one pup who was the fastest and cutest. He came to check who was standing, that was love at first sight. We named him Blog and called him lovingly Bloggy! I…
