A few days back, I made a post about Avik’s dog, Phoebe. She had not been keeping well, and the problem was that Avik didn’t know what had happened to her. Since making that post, I have received quite a few mails from our reader. The first one was from Avik himself. Here is an update on Phoebe.

To the people at Paws Awhile, once again I owe you a big THANK YOU. Thanks to your wonderful post, I will now have a million people praying for Phoebe.

As of now the news is that she is “quiet”. The doctor is scheduled to visit at 10 tonight. Hopefully, he will give her a clean chit and soon she’ll be back creating hell for us as she always does.

Off late I’ve been busy at office. But no matter what the time, whenever I reach home she is there waiting at the door. Even if I tip-toe in, she is ready, all alarmed at the intruder. In my best interests, I have dropped the “tip-toe” plan for good. I walk in at the risk of being mauled. It’s like walking into the jungle and not knowing from where the tigress will strike. I’m not exaggerating. Soon I will provide a video to support this claim.

To add to your checklist, I want to expand on your last point “Always give your dog enough attention and love. You would not want to regret later. Plus, they are an absolute joy.”

Here are some things you can do to bring joy into the life of your pet.

  • When you return home everyday, take two minutes out and hug them, kiss them and play with them. Two minutes, yes, just two minutes.
  • While watching TV, let them sit beside you. Stroke them on their back while they sit beside you. This way they realize that you appreciate their presence around you.
  • When you are at home, try being around them as much as possible. Just being there will bring them joy.
  • Have a special name for them; apart from the one everyone calls them. It makes them feel special.
  • Call for them at the slightest pretext. Notice how they act “uninterested” but land up near you in less than 5 minutes.
  • And most of all if you say you love your pet, please mean it.

So for all of the above, how much will it cost you?

NOTHING.

But in return you will give a world of happiness to someone who loves you unconditionally. And that in itself is a priceless gift that not many of us have the privilege to give.
