Dog Days...

The world has 8.7 million species dwelling in and around the Earth but out of these million there are only a few which come into my list of most adorable animals in this wide biosphere. They are penguins, pandas, cats, clown fishes and a creature which has newly been added to this list-the Harp Seal. 

The harp seal is more of an animated animal in looks which makes it so much cuter. We humans find even the ugliest of  in real life adorable in an animated form. For example there is this creature called the Sloth which is very ugly in real life but when animated becomes adorable.

But that is not my topic today friends. Another name which I didn't mention on the list but is on the top of all the others is "The man's best friend". The odd thing about that statement is that it refers to a ' man's ' best friend i.e. they ain't so friendly with females. That's true in a way  , you see. All of those women who have dogs at their home would be the one cleaning the dog's shit and taking it to the washroom while the guys just cuddle it and have fun. 
Anyways, Dogs are the best  animals i have encountered yet and they have always made my heart skip a beat. I know i am sounding a bit like a girl but i can't do anything. I just love dogs. I don't know what it is in these 4 legged creatures but for me, they are just adorable. 
The thing is i have always wanted a dog for years but mo and dad will never buy me one. They have loads of excuses which i have to say yes to so my dream of having one still remains a dream.
The not having of a dog had made me so made for years that in between, i would just get on my 4 legs and walk around the house and sniff stuff and bark. I know you may think that sounds insane and insane it is but what else can i do ? I WANT A DOG  and that's the bottom line. 

As we know all wishes don't come true but i had received a news from my dad a few days ago which made me jump on my toes. If you are thinking that i am getting a dog , then i am sorry but it is not. It ain't that good a surprise but a chance you won't like to miss. There is this friend of my dad's Ramesh Uncle who had bought a pocket Pomeranian a couple of months ago. Its name is 'Gunda' which when translated to English would be 'Thief'. I don't know why they named such a cute dog Gunda but i have heard worse names for dogs. 
There is this classmate of mine who has 2 dogs called 'Vodka' and 'Whisky'. That's not all, there is this celebrity called Naomi Watts whose dog's name is Chicken.
You see , there is no problem in giving your dog a wacky name or a celebrity name. The only thing is if you keep a celebrity name don't create an awkward combination. Naming a 'Puli' (that is a breed) 'Bob Marley'* is completely perfect but calling a Bulldog Justin Bieber won't work. 

The thing is Ramesh Uncle and his family are going to Kerala next week and so they were asking dad if we could take care of it. I had an immediate yes in my mind but mom had to go through all formalities. In the end i said that i was ready to take full care of Gunda and that they have nothing to worry about. After some time my mom finally accepted that she would also enjoy if we had Gunda here for a week.
A week with a dog. I think my wish is slowly going to come true. It is just that it would be going step by step and this is the first step.
Its funny how my hate for dogs when i was young evolved to liking them so much at such an extent. 
When i was young i could sense it from even a mile away that a dog was waiting for me, smelling my footprints and approaching closer to me second by second just to rip me off into pieces. That was what i really used to think about dogs. Later on, after a couple of years my way of thinking changed. Now it said "A dog won't do anything to you if you don't do anything to it. Just stay calm and be cool." That thought helped me for a long time but ended during the last few months of 2010.
I was going to this party with my friends and I and my friends Akshay and Raghav were with me. We had to pick up this guy Robin from his place but the thing was there were 4-5 dogs in his area. With all confidence I and Akshay went into his block and went up the flight of steps. By the time I and Akshay were coming back down with Robin Raghav started throwing stones at the dogs from outside the gate. The barks were out of rhythm but were very loud. But it was too late for me, I had already got down the stairs. A  dog which must have really been going towards Raghav was blocked by me and his jaws caught my thighs. I wiggled my leg to get the dog off me and swiftly ran outside the gate. From that day i know that dogs can bite without any reason.
So , the moral of the story is - "Street dogs can piss you off but pet dogs are adorable."
I and my brother had decided after a very long discussion that IF we get a dog we would name it either "Oreo" (for a small dog) or "Salvador"(for a big dog). *All rights reserved for those names. Copying of those names will lead to high punishment*   
I am really excited about this dog thing and i am sure that i will write about my experience with Gunda later on in my post next week so please be waiting. 
I don't know who all are there who really read this blog of mine but i keep my head up high.
Have a good day all of you.
