Giving kisses, running, playing, stealing shoes and socks, exploring, laying beside my favourite humans, greeting everyone with enthusiasm, waging my tail,
Life can be exhausting
And i love every minute.
Welcome to the world of Sam!
To sum up, this is, Sam and more. I met Sam on May 1, 2016. A small pup, who could barely walk. His head touching the floor as he would try to walk and since that day he has won my heart.
He was a surprise birthday present which my husband arranged for me. To me this was the best gift i have ever got in my life. I was hesitant initially after losing Simba, but it did not take me long to say yes to Sam.
We are not sure of his date of birth, as the breeder was not very forth coming in giving us much information. But then guess we can pick up a date from calendar and celebrate his birthday. To me its May 1st, but by guessing how young he was, maybe he was born on April 10 or closer to that date.
Our first day at home with Sam, was less eventful. He being a little pup, all he did was sleep. We did rush to the chemist to get him cerelac and sleeping in non ac room with outside temperature hitting 44 degrees. But then we had a little pup who we had to nurture to health.
Our house was transformed and all we could do was shrug our shoulders to say he will learn once he grows up. On his first doctor visit, he was all of 1.5kg in weight and the doctor was looking at him with serious eyes hoping that Sam would be ok. Well Sam is a fighter and the 1.5kg small little pup has nurtured himself into a 11 kg boy who is strong and a menace. All of 4 month old, he is a treat with his daily adventures.
I write menace with love for Sam. There is not one object at home which Sam does not want to chew.
We got Sam a chewy which also makes sound. So his favourite in his first month was to blow this chewy and look at us. This was his way of communicating with us. At night, early morning thats all we heard. And one could not even get angry looking at his innocent eyes.
His chewing, It all started with my shoes, no way can i wear any shoes at home. if its sports shoes , then he wants to open the laces, if sandals he wants to chew the top and by chance if heals then he wants to chew the heals. Maybe in his mind , if i am wearing shoes, it means i am going out. But to Sam, going out is fine if he is also going out, otherwise its a NO. So i carry my shoes in my hand when leaving home.
There is not a single piece of furniture which is devoid of Sam's teeth in it. Reading this one might feel that Sam has no chewy's etc. On day 1, we had gone to pet store to get his food bowls, chewy's, toys etc for Sam.
Guess he felt the human arms and legs are better chewy's than his unnatural ones. In our house, mine, rolf's and our housekeeper arms and legs have small teeth marks. Its very embarrassing, when you meet a stranger and all the person would do is stare at the bruises and cuts on arms and legs. I did for my work tried wearing full sleeves when these episodes started, but being so hot in Gurgaon, its impossible to cover oneself fully. So i would just say, meeting a stranger that i have a small pup at home and these are his playful marks.
After his shots, his first walk downstairs. It was a treat to see him run around and play. Not understanding what to eat and what to leave, probably whole lots of stones found there way in his stomach and then we had to feed him bananas to get them out. All plants at home are getting into his stomach. There is nothing which stops its way from getting inside him.
Then started morning walks. In my entire life i have never seen sun rise. I am not an early riser and even for my work i have always avoided early morning flights as much as possible. Come July, i wake up every day first at 3:30 am for his natural call and then at 5:15 am to give him his meal and take him out for a walk. He very cutely comes to my side of bed and makes this small noise in my ear and voila i am wide awake to take him out. The mutt in him understands if i say Sam another 10 minutes then we go out. He will cuddle himself next to me and after 10 mins start biting me to go out. Now he has figured out if i don't wake up immediately, he would blackmail me by looking at Rolf sleeping, and Sam trying to pounce on him.
Then came his love for water. One day i have a feeling Sam will be jumping in the pool and i will be just a bewildered bystander laughing at his acts. We have a fountain in our gated community . Sam has been eying this for quite some time. So one day, he ventured to get close to the fountain, i caught him in time by his hind legs before he fully submerged himself in the water. He was not to be stopped and with his head and front legs in water, i saw for the first time this little pup trying to swim. And as the saying goes, never stop a determined dog from doing what he wants to do, the very next day on our morning run, he jumps into the fountain and had a time of his life. He was amused by the water shooting up from the fountain, and in his way he tried to stop the water from his mouth and hands. then he wanted to drink the water, shooting up and tried his hand in swimming. He looked so cute that i was in splits of laughter and joined him in this game of his.
As he loves eating anything, so list goes of apples, grapes, bananas, raw potatoes and even a pepperoni pizza to name a few which are his favourite other than chewing on money plant and tulsi leaves in his spare time.
Sam diaries is an open topic and much will be written as days pass by. I just wanted to introduce the latest edition to our home; Samuel Blaser our child, dear friend and trusted companion for life.
As the saying goes "Whoever thought diamond were a girl's best friend never had a dog. " and Dogs do speak, only to those who know how to listen.
Life can be exhausting
And i love every minute.
