My Sweet Simbha

She came in to our life about 2 years ago.When I first saw the sweet little thing for the first time, I fell in love right at that moment.It was the cutest pup I had ever seen.

Me and my brother thought of bringing a pet in to our family,but we were not sure how they would react to the idea of pet.But we were sure that my parents would love it once it comes in.So I took Simbha, well that was the name we kept to our Labrador puppy we bought.My brother suggested the name.

When I first brought Simbha it was 30 days old,just weaned off mother’s milk.I took a bus to my home town, the same day as I wanted to give surprise to my parents.I carried Simbha in a basket and all through the journey I kept the box on my lap.Since it was first time that Simbha was out in to outside environment,it didn’t sleep the whole night,so did I.

When my parents saw Simbha for the first time, they had mixed feelings.they liked the cute looks and when it ran towards mommy as soon I let loose her, know they are going to love it.But my mother was apprehensive how to raise it in an apartment as the Labrador breed needs lots of space to run around the house and space is a constraint.

here is the first photograph of Simbha when we got it to our home.

Since then the happiness it brought in our family was immense.The unconditional love, the way it greets us when we come back from work relieves all the tensions.

Here are some of the snaps that we took.

Now after two years of coming in to our lives, its like another human .My parents talk to it as if conversing with a person.It listens and understands what ever my parents talk.They have to talk secretly if they are planning to go out.Its crazy for car rides.Every evening when dad comes back from office, it sits near him and makes sounds asking him to take out.The way it jumps around when it sees dad picking up the car keys is one delight to watch.

When ever we call up home, my parents switches on the speaker phone and it recognizes our voice when we call her name and tries to grab the phone from their hands.

I some times feel that may be we humans are lucky to have dogs in our lives because the true love and devotion it shows makes us realize we do not come any way near to it in our relations because of our prejudices, egos and conditional affection.

I am really glad to see my parents happy and stress free,thanks to simbha it removed the lonely feeling in their lives.
