The one in which - I don't mind being a Dog

Today's weird tagline comes to you courtesy of an evening spent with a neighbors canine friend.

As a 7 year old who's many evenings and afternoons were spent sending a ball a million times into an aged couples' garden in the name of cricket; I was fascinated by their dog or more so their love for it because they were childless and it was akin to a child for them. The dog was a recipient of their undivided attention. It lived a blessed existence until the day it breathed its last and made us green with envy just watching the pampering it got from its owners.


This was what a typical day in the life of the neighbor's dog looked like

7.30 AM -  Morning wake up call and Walk to empty bowels.

9.00 AM - Breakfast usually some milk and some fish.

11:00 AM - Weekly visit to the vet for regular check up.

1.00 PM - A multi course lunch.

2.00 PM - Post lunch drive in their car to the nearest Ice cream parlor where the dog would be fed the flavor of the day for desert - Point to note here is that they got the store to supply them with sugar free ice cream because Sugar is apparently not good for the pooches. 

3.00 PM - Post Lunch + Post dessert Siesta on the leather couch with the cooler blazing in full throttle.

6.00 PM - Evening stroll with Owner to enable digestion of food.

7.30 PM - Multi Course Dinner with special meat on selected days.

9.00 PM - Drive in their Vintage Contessa to nearest Kulfi stall for desert.

10.00 PM - Post dessert drive around town because they would complain that the dog refused to sleep without a late night drive.

11.00 PM - Lights Out.


Now, I`m no big believer in the Reincarnation Theory but if it is indeed true - I wouldn't mind being a dog in one such household; After all one does need a fallback option in the afterlife :P.

  6. And they call it a dog's life! SO ironical :D I know some people whose dogs are pampered exactly like this. I don't think anybody else gets the same attention and royal treatment.

  7. Welcome back. I see that you have recovered from the disease-that-shall-not-be-named.
    I think most of the people think about being a dog atleast once in their lifetime. I know I've had, atleast five times a day, to be a golden retriever. But since we are stuck at being human, so.....

    1. We struggle and struggle - for what? For food and comfort - I'd much rather be a dog like the one in the post and done with it.

    2. Ha ha :P
      True!! But you know you could just wish to be a millionaire's son instead. A dog can only do so much!

      Don't we struggle because we love it? We could have taken the low way and be done with.

      Anyways, I think am making a serious discussion out of a light blog post. (That is so me... he he)

  19. You can do that being a human being as well but this cruel world makes you feel guilty for it sooner rather than later.
