DanniePart2

It’s the story of my last exam when my dad was driving me till my bus stop. Like always, Dannie was on the back seat enjoying the freezing air and I was looking at him from the mirror. But there was a moment when I started thinking about my exam and missed Dannie and that was a time when my dad shouted, “Dannie jumped off the car.” I was like, “What? No...” And I saw. Yeah, he pushed the window glass down and jumped out of the window. LOL.


Dad stopped the car on the side of the road. I got down and ran backwards on a road, full of traffic, shouting out loud his name. Asked other people out there if they saw a white dog with red coat that jumped off the car. None of ‘em saw him jumping.

I reached the end of the road looking for him. And my sweet li’l scared pup was sitting under the bus stop shed. He was so scared and petrified; his tail was between his legs. I showed a sigh of relief that I found Dannie. I called up his name and my sweet li’l pup came to me running so fast and jumped at me. He was too relieved that he found me. I made him sit, held his color, petted him, kissed him and scolded a bit. People around there were laughing at me. But I kept a smile that my dog is with me, one piece.

I recalled the movie Marley & Me, when Marley walks down the car and the car moves on a really low speed on a highway road. Yes my dog is exactly like Marley… World’s worst dog yet an adorable one.

DanniePart1

It’s been a year I got a dog at my place. My parents were never in favour of it, but that’s the only thing that makes me and my brother unite. So I guess that’s the only reason why they let him in. Labrador was my choice and the shop was his… We got cranky to think his name. LOL. I still remember that when I named him Kevin, my brother frowned and told me to look the name in the internet. I did as he directed but kept the name according to our choice. That made me and my brother unite again. Just 2 months and my dog was well versed that his name was, DANNIE.


When he was young, he was adorable. Everyone here loved him. But things are not going that great at his end. But not his mistake you know. We didn’t train him that well. I regret the fact that he wasn’t sent to the obedience school just ‘cz of the fact that the previous dogs in our family were trained by my dad. And when we try to train Dannie, he is the worst learner the world could ever have. Though Labs are supposed to be the best learners but Dannie is an exception.

Like he isn’t allowed to get on bed and sleep with us, but yeah he does and if he doesn’t he would cry. Yeah man my Dannie boy cries. He has this Pug trait that he is a very stubborn dog. He gets on the bed with his hairy fur. But what do we do. He just completely ignores the order, like any untrained stray. So as a punishment he stays in leash night. Like right now he is sleeping with the leash on. Moreover, whenever I have guests at home, he jumps over ‘em, which is obviously not allowed, so then too he stays in leash.

My sweet li’l Dannie boy has to stay in leash 24X7. I swear I hate it and I want to fight for it ‘cz the way he hugs me and tells me to free him is something that is so very special that I can’t stop myself from setting him free. He gets up on his back limbs and puts his nose under my elbow. And that is the moment when I want him to be free just the way every other fauna is. Though I’ll make sure that he is trained, but keeping him in leash all the time will make him even more ferocious.

I’m not saying to keep your dog unattended, but always make him feel the freedom.
