All the peace in the world cannot counter the feeling of your
dog sleeping lovingly on your lap, lost in his doggie dream world. All the love
and care in the world cannot match the way he licks your teary eyed face. All the polished and sophisticated words in
the world do not matter to us when we speak a language entirely our own.
When we spend so much time with such a loving creature, you
both get attuned to each other’s body language. Best of all, you develop a
vocabulary entirely your own.
Sample this:
Scene 1: My pooch is giving extra attention to you and
barking continuously, not letting me put a leash on him. Then suddenly you hear
me say “You have become a meanie” and he settles down.
Scene 2: I am trying on a new dress and he decides to
appreciate it. He jumps on my lap with his favourite toy in tow, licks all over
my face and plants himself firmly in there. Completely ignores the fact that my
dress is now covered in dog hair. All I can say to him is silly words of
endearment. Words, which sound gibberish but to us they perfectly make sense.
Scene 3: I am walking my dog and he decides to dash after a
stray dog. He pulls on the leash tightly and starts panting in the process. I
call him “ Chiku gussa kutti mat bano, pyari kutti bano”
If any of these happened in your presence, please don’t think
I am out of my mind and please do not say anything in front of my ‘ lovie
dovie’. My fur ball can understand each word you say.
