some dogs have all the fun




nikki is one of them. the day i went to faridabad last, i took her. for two reasons- first i wanted to make her have a run around the house there, a feel of the earth and the grass which they don't get otherwise. then i couldnt take raga because she gets travel sickness and starts throwing up and then ginger and om prakash(who was going there with me) are not good travel companions.so that leaves out nikki- who manages to go everywhere thanks to her temperament! the lucky brat.
and see what she is doing in these pictures- looking out of the boundary wall of the house in one to see the road outside- in fact the construction activity that is going on in the vicinity; and then sitting among the flowers of harsingar that have fallen in the morning from the tree. this tree was planted by me here, outside the bedroom nearly ten years ago or longer back. i am using two images of the same thing- one a closer shot and one from a distance. you cannot imagine my happiness to see her here among plants that are not growing out of pots, what to mention the fact that she can run around so much. had the other sisters been around, they would really have enjoyed themselves.

canine welcome


if you dare to come into our home and profess your love for the pack and are not exactly afraid incase they did the same, well...er..r...r.r..
this could be you!

ofcourse milder variants are possible too...the young man and the dogs are all at their extreme and extremely flexible behaviour. it needn't get that ...much/bad/expressive!:)

friend from next door





this little friend, whose name is not yet clear to me, a black labrador, comes visiting once everyday. in fact the boy who handles him tells me that he pulls the boy towards our house-naturally he has so many siblings and friends here. so when he comes, he stands his ground and refuses to budge, while the dogs indoors go berserk and its all a woofy affair for the humans, unless i stand with them and make them shut their mouth.

the first picture is the little fella from the lane behind the second is my girls, who react in this manner usually. they assume this posture to either bark at him, greet him or greet me when i come home from outside anywhere.
