My Dog!
I just realised that after writing so many posts (Actually five). I have never described my dog to those who read. (My readers are all co-erced by me to read this blog and have been either intimidated or drooled upon or major lovers of my dog!). Anyways, Cashew is a black cocker spaniel. He is about 3 years old and has the cutest tush on this earth. His droopy ears and short tail are his assets. He just loves to lick. So, I am usually smelling of dog drool. His favourite past time is sleeping or rather this is what he usually does. This is it on my Love Cashew!

Dog or 'Homo Sapien'????
I do not know why but more I observe my dog, more I am re-affirmed, he thinks he is not a dog! I swear it is true. My dog thinks he is a Homo Sapien. He believes he is a human. Well, the kind of life he enjoys, I think he is far more better placed than a pot-bellied and beer guzzling tycoon!
Anyways, here are signs why I realise my dog thinks he is a human! Caution: It could happen to your dog too.
1. He has started sleeping on the bed rather than the floor. He cannot sleep until his head is on pillow or on your leg and covered with a quilt or bedsheet.
2. He prefers sitting on the first seat in the car than anywhere in the car. The back seat or sitting on someone's lap is not his cup of tea.If he is in a better mood, than he hits the driver seat. Also, he believes whenever the car is started, it is for him to be taken around the city!
3. He is interested in eating human food than dog food. This is not about tasting the food but switching diets. No more Pedigree. Hello to kalakand, panipuri, boondi, suji, roti, naariyal paani, maaza etcetra
4.This is one sign is not only the weirdest but the most adorable! He loves to play with anything that is round and bounces. Anyways, the cricket ball is his favourite! He loves to catch it and has this victory run when he catches it. The victory run is nothing but him just holding the ball in his mouth and roaming around the house shaking his head. So, when the ball bounces my dog uses his hands to catch the ball instead of his mouth which he is supposed to use. So, much for human traits!
5. My dog has this dumb habit of drinking water only from a glass and not use his bowl. There are times when the water bowl is touched but he prefers a glass to drink water. People, who visit my house need not worry, his cutlery and glasses are kept seperate!
6. This is the most humiliating and shameful. My dog responds to the name AKSHA and thinks he is my owner! Yes, it is sad. According to him, I am the cocker spaniel and he the college going student!

The day my dog crossed his limits!
Since I have had cashew I have been used to wearing socks with holes, seeing pillow covers ripped apart in front of me, bedsheets being played with and torn apart, shoes being eaten and reading newspapers that remotely look like one. This Saturday, my dog crossed his limits.
My source of happiness, was taken away from me (literally!). Well, I am one of the biggest couch potatoes one could find. From saas bahu soaps to reality TV to mindless E! news. I see it all and enjoy it all. The one tool that brings me closer to my telly world is THE REMOTE CONTROL. Well, what does caashew do with it? He breaks the button of the digit 2 very playfully. I know its just the digit 2 and my remote is functioning well. But what about direct access to channel 22 (which has Cartoon Network)?? I have to first put 19 and the scroll to channel 22 or go to 30 and then scroll down. Its painful for a couch potato like me. :( Viewing Tom and Jerry is never going to be same again. I just do not know how to communicate to my dog what he did what was wrong. Everyone in the house is rejoicing. You see for them, channels only till 19 matter. (only stars ,zees, sony and news channels in short )So cashew feels what he has done is right and is eyein the other butons as well. I have to guide him on the right path as it is my duty but do not know how. I feel like a parent of an extreemely rebellious teenager who does not know what to do with his ward. In the meantime, I can only hope nothing happens to my precious remote and figure out how to teach this extremely naughty dog of mine a lesson.

What's Inside the head?
I wish my dog could talk. Life would be so much more better. I would not have to assume whether he wants to go for a walk or eat. He could just tell me , "Yo master! I am hungry." (My dog is way too cool so I consider him to be using hip hop language!). Anyways, I wish my dog could talk because I want to know what he really thinks? What his extremely cute expressions mean. What is he thinking when I watch television? What does he wish to eat-Pedigree or some dog biscuits? What is he thinking when my sister baby talks with him? Why does he think we are born to play 'fetch the bone' with him? What is it about tissue papers that excites him?Also, what is he dreaming when he suddenly starts whelping while sleeping? Why does he gets the weird seizure attacks only at night before we sleep, to pull our quilts away from us, leaving us sleepless? And yes, how does he know that my favourite programme is on air when he wants to go for a walk? Too many questions are unanswered.
The canine world really excites me and I would like to be a dog whisperer. I mean, if not every dog, at least this cocker spaniel should be able to communicate with me. For starters, I could explain the television show I am watching. My dream to watch Grey's Anatomy with him next to me sharing a bucket of popcorn would be fulfilled. But, i guess that will never happen. In a day, I will never turn that girl who talked to her dog. (Wow, a Dr. Dolittle position) Yes, there is the fun in understanding his every wag, his every lick (Mind you, i get that slobber a lot on my face) and his every bark. It is just nature's way of saying some things are just meant to be like that. At least, trying to undderstand him make my brains realease some juices. Otherwise, my brain is just dormant. I also realise that not everything can be my way and I have to adapt and learn.
So, now would I still want things to change? Oh hell, YES! Imagine the luxuries!

A Snoring DOG!
My dog enjoys all the fancies in this world as it is very clear. His nakhras (Note: I thought no other english word could justify his antics!) are taken with an open heart and open arms. Here is something about my royal dog that I not only find annoying but rather cute!
My dog has a habit of SNORING! Yes, dogs do snore and mine does loudly. If he were a human with this habit, then any sane person let alone refuse to share a room with him would blatantly say NO to even share a room with him. In my cashew idolising house, it is a bit different. Before, anyone lies down to sleep, he is called with love to sleep next to them. No one ever minds being woken up in the middle of the night with those loud snores at all. They are rather loved. I am amused that my folks have not recorded it yet and played in front of every guest that comes home! I just wonder who is that ignorant person who says looks are not important? Because they are! No wonder my dog gets this five star treatment and every annoying habit of his just brushed aside.

There are many people we come across in our lives that we wished to be like or had a certain quality of theirs. To put it brutally, we were jealous of them! Someone’s voice, someone’s looks someone’s brains, someone’s report card, and someone’s figure. We have all seen that and craved that.
In my life, I adopted that person. Actually, the CANINE! Never in my wildest dreams had it occurred to me, that I would envy a four legged pooch. Actually, I think no one would have ever thought or envied their dog. Well, step in my shoes and one will realize why a furry little animal can stir up those emotions.
I am sure, one would have had those days where waking up from the bed was a pain but had to because of a boring but important lecture to be attended. One leaves the warmness of the quilt and the softness of their pillow so that one can listen to a middle aged woman blab. One does wake up only to stumble upon the dog that sleeps in the very place you were sleeping without caring a damn! Just look at the luxuries- no exams, no assignments, no psychic professors and no other issues in life.
Oh yes, thanks to him one has become doggy aunty or doggy didi. Its like ones identity is replaced by the name of a cocker spaniel. What about the times when ones friends land up at home? They are far more interested in playing ‘fetch the bone’ than talking or gossiping. Total Attention seeker! The trauma does not end there. It’s OK if he eats up every sock, bedspread or dirties the expensive rug but sacrilegious to touch that expensive vase. All the love a dog gets! It doesn’t really matter if you sleep empty stomach but the dog needs to be fed on time. It is brushed, taken for walks early in the morning even when suffering from lethal cold and also taken on joyrides. It’s like a conspiracy. It just has to widen its eyes, whelp and lick. Everyone’s under its spell. Even the maid!
Call it the ‘confessions of an insecure gal’ or the ‘attention craving teenager’ but watch out if there is a dog at home!
