so it was goofy..alas!!

sometimes even before you know it,u get attached to someone very deeply..some call it the feeling of love..

even in those 2 or 3 days dat we met i had made a strange bonding with wuffie,as i called the golden lab of the streets..he was gone.happy withe some other family,but i did miss him.wudnt be a lie if i say i did once or twice imagine,wad if i cud bring him home..make him mine..make him a companion to smokey..wad if???

well,d odr day having stalked the new owner of wuffie to almost get to his hedious hideout i left for home kindoff in a mixed state of mind.dint know sedr to miss wuffie or be happy for him..but as it goes,had to comply with the fact dat he was gone for good.

walks with smokey started on a more regular basis dese days with my college routine kindoff on a more liberal mode,and the moment i entered home from college after giving smokey his evening meal wud just say"smokey walk"..and the hyper shiny black dog wud run to fetch his leash and run towards the door wagging his tail and getting restless for meto open the door.
nowadays he's learnt a new trick,he wont let me leash him indoors,he wud dart out the door down the first flight of steps and wait for me on the landing..dn the next flight to the ground floor and dn cum running up again to get me down faster..only wen i do reach the ground will he let me leash him up..

dat day i was as usual on a nice walk with my son..and we had had our daily jumping and running session in the park we usualy go much to the horror and annoyance of some kids..but who cares..me and smokey take our daily sprints,hop over the hedges and play fetch fetch till smokey has lost some of his excessive energy and dn we take a nice walk..
like evry other day we entered the park with the basketball court as smokey loves watching the li'l kids playing basketball or swinging on the swings..

we were just halfway through our walk in the park,wen i noticed smokey from afar.he was playing with some kids who wer trying to push him off the turf and sit quietly at one side...

i tried to evade his notice and just walk past,but guess dogs do have sharp senses,smell and everrything dat u conventionally hear about them coz he just turned back,looked at me,sat upright with dat familiar expression of recognition and den darted to greet me with his usual hug,,hehe

well i sensed the danger with smokey in my hand..i shouted at him,woofie stop..at which he just stopped under a bench bowing low...his head down,his rear up with a tail wagging happily...

smokey was already on his job of protecting me,as he tried to snatch his leash off my hand n attack the oncoming menace..but i had to keep pulling him..woofie was quiet for sometime,but smokey's continuous efforts to meet him n barks for him made him hyper too..finally he let go and jumped on me..licking me and showering his love for me..


so the scene was..me with smokey in my hand,his leash wrapped agonisingly around my hand,trying his level best to jump on the other beastly creature while woofie all over me trying to love me as much as possible.

TWO HYPER LABRADORS ON BOTH SIDE TRYING TO JUMP ON EACH OTHER...trust me u never wanna be the referee in such a game.

and i tried my level best to pull smokey to one side while control woofie on the other.but woofie dint have a collar so all i had was his fur...

sudenly somebody yelled out"goofy"..and i split my attention of the two hyper dogs to look up and see a li'l kid about 8-9 years old come running to rescue me..as if dats wad i was calling for..phew.!!!
nevertheless she came and grabbed woofie by his neck..

i asked,"is he your dog?"

"ya",the kid nodded..i asked wads his name??

c replied goofy..
ok..i asked,"r u alone?is der anyone with you here?"
c sed no.
"can you control goofy?"
"yes i can",c replied..
ohk..i tried controlling smokey as c held goofy by the neck and tried taking him away from smokey..i also started walking the other way as smokey still kept tugging me towards goofy..

i had just taken a kerb wen i heard the kid yell out goofy's name again.as i turned around i saw goofy already halfway through the park sprinting towards us..and the same events happened agn..dis time i got irritated and pinned dwn both of them on eidr side of me.smokey by his leash and goofy by his neck..nw truthfully i did get scared as i dint have any idea hw angry goofy wud get for such an act of mine nor any clue wedr he had had his vaccinations or not..but still i did keep him pinned even thru his struggle to free himself..
keeping smokey at bay i took out my cel and called up a the friend who accompanied me on smokey's walks sometimes..asked her to come running to the park as we had a situation..c sed c's on her way..n trust me every min i waited for her was dominating over a fite these two were putting up to escape my grip.

finally had some relief seeing her running across the field towards me...

i bet t'was quite a sight for her to see me mammoth two labradors in eider hand..haha..as i gave smokey's leash in her hands and told her to take him for a walk and wud be joining her soon..

as c left,or rather dragged smokey out of the park,goofy made some more attempts to run to smokey,efforts sadly ruined by my interruption as i caught him and dragged him back..i tried to distract him calling him from the other side and hurling the basketball at him to play with and after staring at the direction smokey vanished for quite sometime he actually gt lured by the basketball into play my to my relief...

a battle gallantly won..phew!!

n i started playing with goofy striking a conversation with the kid,shaily as i gt to know from her.

i asked her about goofy,hw dey treat him and all,hw long he been der,about his infection and every detail i cud nurture from her brains while i played wid goofy..patting him n caressing him..in a few minutes goofy started obeying me around..

"did u people train goofy??"i asked shaily.
c nodded her head sideways to say no.

i asked"he doesnt even respond to is name??not even wen u give him food?"
again the answer was negative.."he never listens to us."was the kid's reply..
"but he loves me the most in my family",c added..

"so you shud take care of him the most na.if he loves u a lot,u shud love him equally na,"i tried to instill a li'l love in the kid's tender brain,telling her wad all c shud do n take care of her pal in a better way,knowing dat perhaps c'd have forgotten everything,every advice i gave by the time c reached home.yet...

i started playing fetch with goofy,patting him for every nice attempt he made..asking him to leap for the ball..
"gosh,he listens to u..he obeys u more than he obeys any of us,seems he knows u more dn us,"commented the kid after sometime,much to my satisfaction..truly i was happy gettin to spend some time wid goofy playing with him after having missed him since he left the last time..

i stayed wid him till it gt dark and den walked goofy home to retrn home,to my own son who sniffed all over me wid thousand questions in his mind about the events dat just occured..i just hugged him tightly in my arms and lay dwn beside him just to let him know,i love him a lot..and cared for him the most.

have seen goofy a few more times after dat..on our walks have had to suffer a few more tantrums from dis golden street vagabond,had to listen to some complains from people thinking him to be my dog,his owners gt several complains from me..and the friend of mine..well i'd love to see her join in and share her experience for sure..bet she had an awsome time blasting it out on goofy's owners which they very very much deserve..for der irresponsible nature,der uncaring attitude towards goofy..


AFTERALL A DOG HAS NO USE FOR FANCY CARS OR BIG HOMES OR DESIGNER CLOTHES..A WATERLOGGED STICK WUD DO JUST FINE..A DOG DOESNT CARE IF YOU'RE RICH OR POOR,SMART OR DULL,CLEVER OR DUMB...GIVE HIM YOURE HEART..AND HE'LL GIVE U HIS..

How many people can you say that about?how many people can make you feel rare and feel pure and special?how many people can make you feel extraordinary...

miss goofy...sometimes just stroll leisurely past his street to find him takin a nap on his frnt porch,or outside on dusty earth..give him a pat or two..caress him,play with him for sometime,15mins,half n hr..is dat enough,is dat all...does he get the love he deserves.???
