YipEEEE!
Daddy’s Back!
Wag!Wag!Wag!Wag!
Thank Dogness, I can relax now. I no longer need to take care of Mummy and my two BOISTEROUS Brothers all by myself.
Phew!
I think I deserve some ‘Me’ time to get back to my book.
Wags,

OH MY DOG!Oh MY DOG!!
You cannot begin to imagine what an ABSOLUTELY EXCITING morning walk we had today!
It was an ‘Every Dog’s Dream Come True’ stuff…. well, almost!
I am so excited, so excited still!
But Friends, I am sorry I cannot tell you about it, in detail, today!!!!
You see, daddy is coming back early tomorrow morning.
YEPS! At last, Daddy is COMING BACK!
Mummy says he will be here very early in the morning and it will be dark still. And that we are going to go pick him up.
And that we need to sleep early tonight, so the night will pass faster.
Good night, Everypuppy.
I promise to tell you about my Glorious adventure tomorrow.
I hope I can relive it in my dream tonight…

…Goodbye, Dear Luke…..
Good-night! good-night! as we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight, in the days
That are no more, and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken up thy lamp and gone to bed;
I stay a little longer, as one stays
To cover up the embers that still burn.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

That are no more, and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken up thy lamp and gone to bed;
I stay a little longer, as one stays
To cover up the embers that still burn.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We will miss you , Dear Friend.
But all that we would like to say has already been said so well……
Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality. ~Emily Dickinson
We Will NEVER Forget You, Luke

WE MISS YOU, Daddy
We don’t like it. we don’t like it at all.
There are still 3 Million Days for Daddy to come back home.
Someone came by today on a bike that sounds exactly like Daddy’s. Shadow rushed out to the verandah, ears pricked up, looking all excited that Daddy was back.
He even had Buddy convinced it was Daddy.
But I knew.
I didn’t bother to go check.I just knew it wasn’t him.
However much I tried to convince the two of them that it wasn’t Daddy, they refused to believe me. They waited there, out on the verandah for a long time.
Finally, Mummy could make them understand that Daddy won’t be back for quite sometime and it was only just some stray human passing by.

There’s NO ONE to throw my ball for me to fetch.
No one to pull Buddy’s toy
and no one to pick Shadow up.
Here are our pictures to tell you how terribly ALL of us here miss you.
Sad Bud-Boy
Sad Shadow
Sad Ginger
and Sad Mummy!!!!
So you get the idea!
Please come back soon.
Shadow even promises he won’t chew on your shoe-laces if you do…

Mummy’s RANDOM SHOTS
Stills from a part of the City known as ‘The Old City’.
Unaffected and untouched by the expanse of modern day developments, the inevitable take-over by the Big Brands and the sprawling malls, this part of the city continues life in the same sedentary fashion, as it did, may be, at least 50 years ago.
The small scale entrepreneurs and the all- in-one retailers are still the high-lights of the busy market places.
The road-side vendors still crowd the almost non-existent foot-paths amidst the chaos of un-regulated traffic.
But yes, the place is certainly a photographer’s delight!
I hardly ever happen to go there, but when I do, it never fails to excite my imagination!
Colourful, eccentric and bustling with activity, the place provides ample fodder for my camera…

(Colourful glass bangles. I love them!)
(Hotline number to dial GOD??!!)
(A formidable Goddess guarding her own temple!)
(Surprising how prayers fall on deaf ears, in spite of they being blared out of that huge amplifier!)
Hope You liked Mummy’s pictures! We find them rather amusing!

Pee Ess :This just came in. Our Friend HERO is on the mend. He is still weak but definitely on the mend. He has even started eating well and we pray and wish for him to regain his strength soon. Please do go over to HIS BLOGGIE and say Hello. It will lift up his spirits.

Deserted…Again!
We also have a sleeping arrangement, alternate to the one you all happened to like so much. Especially for those times when Mummy and Daddy take up our couch and stay up late watching a movie.
Don’t get us wrong. We do like a good movie. But not at some weird, unearthly hour. A pup’s sleep-time always comes first.
Anyway, on such nights we bunk here. See, we make sure we leave enough space for Mummy and Daddy to curl up.
What do you mean there isn’t enough leg-space!!
It is winter, isn’t it? You are supposed to curl up nose-tip to tail-tip…errr…toe-tip!
And of course, we don't mind lending our beds to Mummy & Daddy, if they want them! They are almost new!
Tonight, however, space isn’t an issue.
Well, Daddy is gone AGAIN!
Yes, he has deserted us to go on another trip.
This time, it is to a place near Bangalore, further down south of where we live.
We don’t like it. Not one bit.
Mummy says he has been invited to be the External Examiner for the Final MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery) Examination in a medical College there. He will be busy the entire day and can’t take us Pups along.
And that it is an honour and will add an extra feather on Daddy’s cap.
WHAT!
Daddy has deserted us to go collect feathers?
Why, we could have done it for him. Collect feathers, that is.
We are Retrievers, if you remember. Besides, we even have Shadow trained to retrieve things and he does it with pawfect finesse.
(Note to self by Ginger: We must get Mummy to video-graph his training sessions with Buddy)
Anyway, Daddy is gone and he will be gone for a WEEK!

AN UNPRECEDENTED SHOWER
This happened some days ago.
The evening was windy and much colder than the past few days. Our post dinner walk felt refreshing and invigorating, just the right temperature for a pup to get active.
Just after about 5 minutes into our walk, a light drizzle started.
Now, Mummy gets runny nose and recurrent sneezes at the drop of a hat! We thought it would be prudent for her to get her wind-cheater on before her nose realises it is cold enough to leak! So, we came back home, collected her jacket n set off again.
Off we went, happy and gay and enjoying the nightly sounds and smells when suddenly the sky burst open!
It just broke! And before you could even think of dropping a hat, it had rained 5002341 Gallons on us!
Where did the rain come from? We thought it had reached the southern hemisphere by now!
Mummy tried to hurry us home but we saw no reason for doing that. We were already soaked to the marrow of our bones and nothing could have made us any wetter.
So we just decided to find the puddles, splash around, get as muddy as ever and generally have an absolute fun time. Mummy did not have a say in this matter anymore. Besides, we had her on a leash, so she had no other option but to follow us.
She was rather worried that we would all catch a cold or something. And then there was the matter of giving us a bath at that hour of the night. It was mandatory, she said if we wanted to snuggle into bed with her.
Not that we mind. We are water dogs remember?
And though Mummy wouldn’t admit it, we suspect she had a lot of fun too!
Well, talking of water dogs, did we tell you we have successfully trained our kid brother to be one?
Till just about a month ago, he wasn’t very keen on getting wet or finding water holes on our walks.
But over the past few weeks, we convinced him that the basic rule about being a Labra-dawg (Well, he thinks he is one!) is that YOU GOTTA LOVE WATER.
Though he hasn’t learnt the part about sniffing out a water-hole and leading the way, he gladly follows us into one.
Happy Tuesday, Everypuppy. Have fun.
And make sure your Mums and Dads have a lot of fun too, even if you have to drag them by their leashes!

(Isn’t he just so handsome?)
(He does believe he is a yellow lab!!…Tee hee hee)

Our Wish
For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.
- T. S. Eliot
- T. S. Eliot
When there are challenges, we wish u success
When there is strife, we wish you peace,
When there is sadness, we wish you joy.
We wish you the comfort of old friends, the joy of finding new friends, the contentment of love, the exhilaration of new adventures, the satisfaction of achievements, the calm and harmony of a content life.
Today we are thankful for Our Family - the little joys we shared everyday in the past year, the strength we found in our togetherness to face the sad times that came by, the security we feel everyday in belonging and being together.
We are thankful for Our Friends - both in pawson and in The Blogworld. You are the ones who never fail to put a smile on our faces and remind us how lucky we are to have you in our lives.
We are thinking today of our dear Pei Friend HERO.
We pray for him and are making a New Year wish for him to get well soon.
May the New Year bring for all of you, in abundance, health, laughter, fun and happiness.
Love and wags,
Ginger, Buddy and Shadow
