~ Your Life Bestie...~

Have you ever found a sense of belonging with any poodle or a stray canine roaming around and you found the need to befriend him for your own good…!

Many studies have shown beyond doubt about the smoothness which one gains after being in constant company of animals – The terminally ill have found peace and in many cases have brought back laughter to their lives. The downtrodden and the depressed found solace talking to the mammal be it a cat or dog or any other domesticated pet – you can talk hours sitting with him and he would patiently listen with no human counter-argument – such is the nature of the being with them.

I recently read about a heart wrenching story of a terminally ill cancer patient dying in all loneliness in the hospital bed but he had a regular visitor – and yes , guessed it wrong – the visitor was no family member of the dying man but a pigeon whom he used to fed in the neighborhood park whilst he roamed around – It was certainly time to payback the love and respect his caring friend has been showering on him – the story is pulsating and also has a deep meaning about the emotions and sensitivity of animals around us – though he was not his pet but still sensing the last days his friend was in, he always paid him a regular visit! 

Surely a pet at home shovels a sense of discipline and you certainly feel the camaraderie along with your preferred past time – you play with him and makes kinky gestures.. the pet would always oblige and would respond with all its might.

Nowadays many people have sensed the need to have pets and those who don’t have started to experiment by giving food to the street dogs and cats as they feel at peace with themselves – I have been doing this experiment for quite some time now and now this has become a routine exercise of sorts – the best part being I have named the street dogs such as ‘Jumbo’ ,’Cuddle’ and ‘Simba’ , they have also kind of accepted me in true sense and come wagging their tail as they know for sure that it is time that there would surely be something in their kitty – They love biscuits and milk, a one off loaf of bread soaked in milk turns out to be their best moment – believe me , it took me much an effort to gain their sense of faith as most street dogs wont come near you as them might feel a sense of danger.

The pulsating company that they provide turns out to be therapeutic and surely relives you of much stress and anxiety. Of late I have experimenting various gestures with the stray dogs in my vicinity – as they have formed a formidable bond with me. They have started to say a nice “Hello” which I can sense with their soft bark! – the wagging of their tail is a sure sign of love and affection that they provide to me when they see me and start walking beside me as a army of commandos to protect the fragile target 😊!

The nights have become more friendly as they sit just in front of my house and keep a grandeur watch for any miscreants or fellow dogs from other neighborhood – come rain or cold, they have become the custodians of my family as they easily identify the family members with their sense of observation and smell.

To end this thought, animals around us surely are a friends for a lifetime, all you need is to open up and gesture in a sense they feel loving – they are surely full of emotions, love and degree of sensibility unlike many humans nowdays 😊 ….I am living my life with the them, as I continuously experiment my living- they have become a profound existence of my being…hope they also have the same sentimentalities about me …
