Love me,Love my Dog

This, is the apple of my eye, the light of my life, my pride and joy! He's a daschund, six years old and his name, is Nugget. He's the cutest thing on earth (along with Brad Pitt), and only a little less bright thatn he is cute.(Even with canines beauty and brains don't go together); at any rate he does know enough to hide under the bed when "bath" or "vet" is mentioned. He's the first person into the car when we go out...and the first one into the house when we come back.



He protects us from all manner of things:lizards, black ants, rats and dirty socks. Cats are beneath his notice, and they make their homes and have their kittens quite happily in our store room. After an unfortunate altercation with a full grown dobberman at the tender age of 6 months, his sparring with other dogs is confined to being purely verbal; from the safe confines of the house, and the car with all the windows rolled up.


He's a pure vegetarian( you know, with all the non-violence and the vegetarianism, I think he's going to be a true example of Gandhianism). He eats rice with curd and a little sambar on top, or Chappattti's with Dal. He needs to be properly served though. One person to put the bowl out, and tell him what a good, fine dog he is; and another to roll the rice into little balls or tear the Chappatti's into little pieces, and feed them to him one by one.(That's one spoilt dog!)
















For a dog who's parentage is from the US and who's ancestry goes back to Germany, this is one dog who just loves the Chennai weather. He hates the "cold winter" or the rains(won't step out and get his li'l paws dirty), he likes it hot and hotter!

He's a great companion, his soulfull big eyes seem to understand perfectly when you're down. He never talks back, never gives unnecessary advice, he's always ready for a good time...he would have made a great human being!
