IT’S A DOG’S LIFE…..


 This little bundle became a part of our lives eight years ago.....

Alfie Kurup, love and cherish you....



Wagging his tail joyfully
He greets me at the doorstep
with undisguised pleasure
Making me feel so welcome...

At least there was someone
Genuinely pleased to see me
And not ashamed to show it….

Yet all he wants is…….
A friendly pat
A kindly hug
And a loving look…….

All so easy to give
Yet so rarely given…….

His little heart overflowing
With unconditional love...
His soft, melting eyes
Speaking innumerable languages
His silent acceptance of things
Inspite of changes and turmoils…….

Tied up at intervals
According to our whims
Waiting to be taken out
Whenever we have time
His freedom restricted
To suit our fancies……..

Does he miss his family?
Does he feel homesick?
Does he know of God?
Does he have a religion?
Does he wonder at the world?
Does he think of Death?
Does he have dreams of his own?

Or does he just sit and watch
Life passing by in front of him………

Taking each day as it comes………?
