Today I am writing about a very corny cliché that is , “🐕 is man’s best friend”. And the star 🌟 of my story is this crazy happy girl . She came in our lives on 25 may 2013 when she was just 35 days old , a small scrawny runt of the litter labrador . Though she was a half-pint pup ,but so high on energy and happiness that we named her SPRING .

Before her , we were carefree , always out , coming home late sort of couple, happy in our own little world , as any newlyweds should be . Back then husband dearest was posted in Kochin , one of his very good friend Arjun Murlidharan invited us to his mom’s place which is in Thrissur (it’s 90 odd km from Kochin , world famous for temple festival of Kerala also known as Thrissurpuram). At their home they had 2 happy crazy goofs

a labrador
an Indian breed dog.

Those two domesticated carnivorous mammals showed us so much love that it was beyond amazing .Thanks to https://ushus.wordpress.com ,who showed us the ropes of , how to pet them , where to give them those delicious rubs ( I know I know ,it’s a no-brainer , but back then I was totally ignorant about it) . We fell so head over heels in love with them that we decided to bring home our very first four legged baby .

How she came home is another epic story .

Falling in love is easy but it brings responsibility and commitment too. Our life is such that every few years , we move to other city ,thanks to my husband’s job . After much consideration and deliberation about how good a pet parent we will be , we decided to go for it and search started for our precious babe . After exploring and scouting many advertisements and asking around for Labrador pups (we wanted to adopt instead of buying) husband came across one such advertisement in which pictures were not very happy and by the look of it , we assumed that breeder was not trained either . One Sunday , without telling me about his plans , KG (that’s what the whole world calls him) took off , I assumed that he must have gone to office as his mannerisms were quite brusque. (Later I got to know that he had gone to that untrained breeder paid him few thousands and brought this puppy home) . Around afternoon I heard him honking , went out to check what’s the matter with him . There he was sitting in car looking ridiculously dapper and smiling from ear to ear . I gestured him “what’s the matter” , he replied nothing but prompted me to come near car and have a look . Curiosity got better of me , I went ahead to check the reason of his impish grin and there she was in a carton , head popping out , our darling baby girl SPRING.

Though we have named her Spring , I sometimes call her hakuna matata , she is the perfect example of “don’t worry be happy” . You want proof , here it is 😁

Babies with their mummy , clicked in Lonavala .

This year she turned 5 , more loving , more lazy , she still hates taking bath , enjoys car ride like crazy , both sisters sit together in the back seat (without fight is my dream , which might never come true thanks to our younger one ) . The only thing which has changed in these 5 years is pictures in the frames, as a family we are still the same , happy , goofy , mushy and full of craziness called life .
