About Relationship


Nisha moved in our house a year ago. An year later moved in her pet. He is not an ordinary dog. She spoon feeds him, bathes him with shampoo, plays a ball throwing and catching game with him.They sleep in a same room andsometimes on the same bed. They both wake up and go to bed at same time. At 6:30 am both get up to lighten their bladders and go back to sleep again until 7:30am. He follows where ever his caretaker goes. When Nisa leaves for work, she feeds him whatever we eat, hugs and kisses him. Around 8 pm, he looks her path and stays looking until he sees her and then begins to bark uncontrollably. He runs down to the first floor and waits her arrival. He wags his tail, sits on her laps, jumps, and both indulge into some sort of unconditional bond. Nisa talks about how she missed him when she was at work. When I saw their love for one another, I was awed. What a relationship people can build with animals!
Mummy and Puppy
Puppy is a name of a Japanese breed dog that my sister-in-law owns. She has tamed him since Puppy was 3 months old and now he is about to be 4 years. She is like a mommy to him and he is a baby to her. Nisa once said, "I can't imagine my life without him.'
How about your husband? I enquired
And she laughed it away.

My mom is a person who dislikes a dog. She fears that the hair will get into the food and ultimately into our bodies. At first she did not allow Puppy to enter the kitchen and the living room. My brother couldn't convince her. That's why Puppy moved in a year later after her owner.

A vet came for a regular check-up. Seeing the vet, Puppy ran into the kitchen and hid under the table. Nisa kissed, cuddled and massaged him. Though there was denial on his face, Nisa finally convinced him.Puppy got injected, and Nisa was in tears. She felt for him.
Bathing their baby


Puppy became mom's companion when Nisa was out. During Nisa's absence, mom's obligation became to feed Puppy and take care of him. Puppy followed her where ever mom went and tried to get into the kitchen when he was hungry. Puppy became mommy's new companion. Ultimately, she had to give in her prejudice.

Such a bond could exist between a dog and a human. I had only seen on movies and read on books. But it's very real, very near and it's in front of me. If a person wants, if a person tries, he or she can build an affection with an animal. I reckon why he or she cannot build a affectionate relationship with other human if one intends.
