It's a dog's life!

Any resemblance to any animal is purely coincidental!

Hi, my name is Coochie. I am Ms. Samantha Walson’s pet. I am a dog, but I hate it when people call me that.

My day starts with a walk. We go to the park. Others bark at me. My master carries a stick, they get scared.

They say they don’t like me. They say I have a good life. They are jealous. I want to talk to them. But she pulls me away. She drags me away.

After the walk, I eat. There are two bowls. Water in one. Food in another. Water tastes better.

Then, I am tied up. In the kennel. Earlier, I would get hassled. Now, I am OK. I sleep.

Actually, I envy them. They are free. They can roam around. I live in a small house. I am tied up.

I see people from the kennel. Some shout. Some cry. Some smile. Some laugh. Some cuddle me. Some don’t do anything.

In the evening, we play. She throws. I catch the ball. It is fun.


I love it. I am free.

I have a friend. Kylie. She is a parrot. She talks a lot. She is
quite irritating. Don’t tell her. I think she likes me. I don’t like her. She is not really my type.

Anyway, got to go now. My master is calling for me. It’s time for play. Good.
Rest in next

Bow wow!!

Yours waggingly

Thanks Priya! Writing heavy duty stuff really needs a lot of time and patience, so I thought I should pen down something short and sweet. This idea just struck me and well, it's out there for the world to see!!

And if you notice, none of my sentences are long. The understanding was that dogs by nature are very restless, or should we say hyperactive. So they can't stick around with one thing for long. So very short sentences for their thought process keeps changing...

Dogs are fun...although at times they look stupid becoz they can become too much affectionate and carried over by the love for people around them...we had once a charming puppy who can really get away with whatever it does by just giving a look that suits the situation...and it know how to behave to every individual in the house!

Tara said...

Thanks Ela! Was waiting for your comment! Aww..your pup must have been one adorable thing... Yes, they do get carried away sometimes, jumping all over the place! But thats the way they are made, that makes them the most loveable creatures on earth...

A sweet one, though, for me a little poignant too [wonder if you meant it to be..!] We have 4 dogs :) and they are tied up for very very short periods of time, only when we have visitors who do not get along well with them or so...

So a kennel/ tying up a dog is something I have not been very comfortable with. Still it is required I guess when there is no option, and perhaps to manage them better. Still, you got under the skin of that Coochie, and expressed a doggie's perspective rather well, I thought.

I rather liked it:)

Tara said...

Wow! Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I don't have any pets at home (my parents aren't too fond of animals :( This post was just my attempt of looking at the outside world from their eyes. What they might feel and think of us and others.

I don't know how successful I have been because I have never bonded with a dog for too long.

I am glad you liked it! :)
