Ever seen a dog watching tennis on TV?
Not just watching, but concentrating on the game too!
That was Kruger- the labrador in our son's home in Chennai who passed away this morning.
He was more than a dog. So loving and affectionate. His eyes would convey everything.
Whenever I visited Chennai, he would not leave me. Whether sitting under the dining table with his paws resting on my feet. Or, perching himself on my lap on the sofa. Mind you at 35 kgs, you needed strength to hold him in the lap! When on the yoga mat, he would lie down without disturbing me. As if saying "yes, I know yoga is important for oldies like you!"
Kruger gave us all so much of love. Unconditional. Though unwell in his last days, he went away peacefully. Here are some pictures when he was a pup.
After Covid when I get to travel again, Chennai home won't be the same. Who would welcome me with a friendly bark even as the car door opens in the parking lot? Who would block my way at the main door till I petted him? Our heart goes out to all of you- Ankush, Prabs, Ansh and Anuva.
As I had said when our Cairn Terrier Elfo passed away, 'old dogs don't die, they just become invisible'! Sharing that picture again.
Kruger we will miss you! All of us in Chennai, Secunderabad and Pleasanton.
Stay happy wherever you are.

Deleteये भी आपके जीवन और परिवार का हिस्सा हो जाते हैं और इनका जाना किसी परिवार के सदस्य के जाने से कम नहीं होता है। अपितु कुछ अधिक ही होता है क्योंकि ये केवल प्रेम ही देते हैं और वो भी निश्छल।
ReplyDeleteआशा है क्रूगर की अच्छी यादों को संजो कर आपका परिवार उसे हमेशा याद करता रहेगा।
