You miss them most when they're gone...
Stupid, my dog, disappeared from the house last week. My parents and the people around searched for him 2 whole days within a 2km radius, before giving up. Mum didn't have the heart to tell me till last night. And he's all I can think about since...
He came to our family in April 1995 as a little ball of white fur. He was now getting old, blind. And he was always stupid! All I can think about is how is he fending for himself wherever he is now... How is he eating? Mum says he'd stopped eating for quite a wile now .. down to 1 meal a day. He'd stopped going out of the house. He'd just follow mom all day doing nothing in particular, passing his days peacefully. Now he's either lost in unfamiliar territory trying to find his way back or someone just picked him up and walked away. I only hope if someone did pick him up they're keeping him well.
When he was a young pup, growing up, he would disappear every night with one of his many girlfriends. Mum and me would be up half the night torches in hand yelling his name on the dark roads - "Stuuupiiiid!! Where are you baba?! Ghar aa ja bacche, nahi toh bahar lock kar dungi!!" [come back home or I'll lock you out] . And he'd always come back romping around playfully, as if he knew he was going to get in trouble and wanted to be at his cutest. He'd probably also had a real good time and was just thrilled!
Sitting here, I know everyone at home is doing the best they can but I just desperately want to be there, walking the streets calling for him, hoping my voice will reach him where no one else's can.
Whats most scary for me is that when I go home this time, he won't be there. He won't come running out to meet me. He won't sleep by the foot of my bed n come sniffing my nose every morning to wake me.
I cant believe I'll never see him again. That it was meant to be this way, a phone call from home, one sleepless night, one sentimental blog and gone...
Stupid....you stupid stupid dog! Wherever you are ... please come back!
