I hope she is none the worse for her hostel stay. When we had our dog, Appukuttan, I remember leaving him alone for a day (a day, mind you) and he sulked for a week after that! <em>She seems to be alright <strong>Roopa</strong> and back to her old self!

It was a crazy, neurotic, blue-blooded dob called Scot. When we saw him as a a pup, we never imagined that this gangling gawky goat-like canine could actually grow into one of the most ferocious dogs in Trivandrum!!! But, beleive it or not, the cute puppy stage lasted all of 8-9 months and then he became this diabolic,blood-thirsty monster with a wicked sense of humour.Scot would even come chompping on our body parts for reasons as stupid as that he woke up on the wrong side of the bed or that he was not given a whole bday cake - not a piece mind you, but the whole damn cake!!! But despite the blood and gore, we loved him still. And although it has been years since he has passed on, the scars I bear to this day sometimes throb when I think of him... www.3madmoggies.blogspot.com <em><strong>Rekha</strong>, Scot sounds like quite a dog! :O </em> I was smiling all through the post because it so reminded me of the first dog we owned!!!

I hope she is eating now? I wonder why did God give them sensitive souls. We are still struggling to travel with them by road (they remain restless), we have got into arguments with Air Port staff when my husband would (successfully because that one was a Dachshund) managed to keep the dog in our lap ... but the troubles never end! <em><strong>IHM</strong>, yeah, the toughest part is having to leave them behind.
