Our new family member: Bruno!
It was a chance meeting arranged by my Sis that day. It was hot that summer afternoon and we had to leave in a hurry. Me, Harshad and Pinks went to a person we know in Camp area Belgaum who had this cutie pie for us. I spent most of my childhood around pets.
Me and Pinks were very fond of animals and used get home anything we found cute. Our Pet journey started when I was too young (II standard) while in Goa, at the time - we brought home two cute little mice.These were the laboratory ones (white fur with red eyes) - the knockout mice as they are called. I wish we had digital cameras then... would have definitely posted their photo here. :-).
Anyway, after the mice in Goa we moved home to Deogiri (in Bellary district) where we slowly moved on to Birds. We brought home injured birds, wild birds like sparrow, wild parrot (one that does not talk like us), bullbull, etc. Our job was to wait until the bird healed and then let it free! It was great fun... at school the only thing on my mind would be - "what my little pet would be doing right now?". Then came squirrels, rabbits, and of course three dogs one after the other - Rocky, Bunty, and another - the only female doggy who got robbed even before we named her. :-(
Then we moved to Belgaum and had to concentrate on studies and career. Our granee wasn't interested in pets at all so we had entertain ourselves petting others pets. :-) At the time, I told myself - "I will definitely have a cute doggy when I grow old". Even before I realised, I was through with two years into a software job and I left India for UK to do my Ph.D. at the University of York. Taming and feeding myself was in itself a huge burden (a far fetched dream) and so I forgot about our little friend to be.
Voila! Start of 2009 and we permenantly moved back to Belgaum (my home town). "Can I now have a pet at home please?" - were my thoughts. Just a week back we all had witnessed the gracious Dog show in Belgaum and I knew - "Getting my own pet at home wasn't too far from here".
So here we are - Tanisha named it Bruno and thats how we brought home our new family member.
