'Rocky' |
“The
loving creatures enters our life
The
cute paws crawl into our hearts
Our
best friend , our honest aide
Their
loving licks, caring glance
Their
Tender feel
Giving
us Joyous zeal”
They are the companions, fulfilling our lives with
unconditional love and only love. They
are so endearing that they can take away all the stress. It’s a privilege to
have a pet at home.
My parents being ardent dog lovers, I have grown up
surrounded by pets. There was even a time when we had six of them at home. They become your friends, siblings and are
just like baby, sticks to you when you are at home and wait endlessly when you
are away.
The only difference is that they cannot speak
otherwise they understand you, listens to your words, familiarize with all your
belongings.
I remember
my pet dog Rocky used to sit in front of main gate waiting for my brother,
whenever he went out. He loved eating all sorts of dairy products. He had this
peculiar habit of waking me up in the morning by snuffling loudly by my bed
side. He himself used to love sleeping for long hours.
Researchers say that pets are good for mind and soul;
people are less likely to suffer depression in the company of pets. Playing
with a dog can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine -- nerve transmitters
that are known to have pleasurable and calming properties. (http://www.webmd.com)
And as they say death is inevitable and we have to
move ahead. The loving memories of Rocky (our pet dog) in our heart are always cherished
as we pray to the God to bless his soul and forgive all sins.
'Your paws have left indelible marks of love and care in our life which shall always be remembered and cherished' |

I am a dog lover too. I had a Yorkshire terrier in my parents' home and now have a Labrador who is the apple of our eyes. They really are joy and love personified. I am blessed to have Coco in my life. I loved this post, Swati.

He looks adorable! I too grew up with dogs though only one at a time! :) I absolutely agree that pets, and especially dogs, are very therapeutic!
