The sadness and pain of Pluto passing away had not even sunk into me when his vet called up and said "I have a cute little golden retriever pup for you. Are you ready for it?" Dad's immediate reply was "No.. not yet.. And we would want a smaller dog." I wasnt quite sure of what I was feeling about this whole thing. Pluto not being with us anymore was something that had not yet sunk into me. I didnt know how to react, didnt know what I was feeling. Whether I was happy that the pain he was going through came to an end, or whether I was sad about him not being with us anymore, I really dont know... But before I could figure out what I was feeling, I had already begun to think beyond it. In the midst of all the chaos in my head, discussions started to happen at home whether to get this pup or not. My sister and mom were all excited and ready. Dad was neutral and had concerns. I really didnt know what I was feeling (very unlike me). But I said "Yes" to the idea and started to look forward to it.
3rd June is the day I went to get him. Oh baby, the moment I looked at him, I knew I was ready to have him home. A cute, but scared golden colored pup. I just fell in love with him there and then. On the way back home, we picked up some rice cerelac for him. Yes.. thats right.. Cerelac! :) For the little one. We got home and put him on the floor. To begin with, he was a little jittery, scared, unsure of his steps and where he was walking. But in no time, he was all over the place, biting things, tearing paper, chewing shoes and playing with all the family members. From a scared little pup to a bundle of joy in no time.
