Love u darling

There are times when you need to sacrifice your love for the sake of your love. This is what I had to do for my darling pet. She was named Tipsy and was a spitz. I had been in association with my dear tipsy for more than 17 years. In those 17 years, we grew up together, played together, fought with each other,shared the same blanket in winters, walked together and god knows what all. She even used to share my friends. If any of my friend would be visiting me, before they enquired about my whereabouts, they would invariably be ask about her good being. I remember when once my friend came from school to my place and was curious enough to put his hand right in front of her mouth. She as loyal and serene as always thought it to be some chewstick for her and chewed it without caring about the salt/spice proportion. The bite was probably the only one she would have given to anyone(apart from me. I was her ceterfresh for most part of her life except for two things... i didn't had that much liquid inside me and she never chew me completely to be certified totally useless).

She had one more habbit. She would bark on you until you enter the boundary of our house and then she wud be your best buddy. She will come close to you, smell you , wag her tail and then silently sit close to you. The idea being, you as a guest would be served something and she needs her share from you. But that was probably the only doggy habbit she had. Otherwise, her fundas towards job, duties and loyalties were as clear as the Junior Engineer sitting at some site office of DDA. Food to be serverd on time, properly laid bed and a stroll twice a day. She didnt got into botheration of monotonous things that other dogs foolishly delve into like bringin news papers in the morning, giving wake up calls etc. She would be the first person to go to bed in night. And before you sleep , it was our duty to check if the sheet is covering her properly or not.
Another reason for me not getting along with her was probably the clash in our ideologies. I used to assume that she was my pet and I think she also thought on similar lines for me. The result was the tussle between her and me in which ofcourse, I would be the winner(as soon as my parents intervened)

Last few days were bit cruel on her. Her age being the major reason for her illness. It was on 5th august that we decided to free her from her suffering and allowed her soul to reunite with the almighty. It was hard to let her go but seeing her suffering was by no means less painful. No matter how long I live, Tipsy will always have a portion of my heart reserved for her.

Love you Tips....may your soul rest in peace.
