The Dog Blog

Being a pet owner may be a very difficult task, and the pets will for sure make your life miserable. Pets are more like your kids and you being their parents. They’re the most adorable, non-complaining, loving, sometimes irritating and always naughty friends. Our pets are definitely the best buddies we’ll ever have in our life. Pets really don’t need an introduction as nearly everyone knows what they are and what they’re up to.

Today I’ll be talking about my pet, Aaryan Totala. My name is Simba, and I’m 15 months and 4 days old and I’m a beagle dog, whereas my pet is 13 years old and he's a human species. You probably know Aaryan if you read his blogs, and after going through all his blogs, I noticed he never mentioned his owner, ME. I was very sad about this, so I thought of introducing myself by writing a blog through his account. Pets are an important part of our lives, as they really help you out in plenty of things, which is basically our dependency on our pets.

Before starting the blog, I would like to tell you that I’m very inexperienced at writing blogs or anything, and my language and grammar structure might be wrong at times too. You see, I’m trying to imitate Aaryan’s style of writing, because I really trust him. This is also my first time using an electronic device (Hope this goes well).

The first time I met Aaryan was over a year ago (I’m not good at remembering dates) and it was super awkward and weird for me to meet him. He smiled at me when our eyes met for the first time. I smiled back as well, but he didn’t quite realise that I did. He isn’t my only pet; I have three more pets: Anushka, Papa, and Mummy. All of them seemed pretty nice, and we became friends the first time we met. I love pets.

I hadn’t met Mummy till we reached our house, a place that had plenty of space to play. There was a whole big room (the backyard) for me. I jumped and ran all over the backyard; It was too much fun; I was overjoyed. This was the best day of my life. My pets gave me freedom that I had never experienced in the then two months of life. I absolutely cherish those moments. A couple of days later my pets gifted me a bedroom in which I can sleep every night (it’s called a cage in human language). In the initial days when I slept in the cage, it wasn’t comfortable and I had a disastrous outing the first time around. I sweetly kept calling my pets to play, but I had a feeling that they were irritated because of me. I still don’t know why. I moved on and eventually, I couldn’t sleep anywhere but my bedroom.

My pet Aaryan was far too busy in the first two months with something called school. But my pet Anushka used to be home those days, and we had a lot of fun. She used to sit in her bedroom all day long and I used to watch her study. She walked me every single day, and I met a lot of new and exciting people. Although she didn’t enjoy walking and exercising, as her owner, I had to make a change in her, and it turned out just fine. I never realised I had three other pets to look after.

It had been two months with my new human buddies, and suddenly from one fine day, my pets stayed home all day and didn’t leave the house for several days. It took me ages to digest that they’re home; No school, exams, office, etcetera. It was finally my time to rule over all my pets as they had no choice but to stay home. This was the time when my pet Aaryan finally started giving me time. We played for hours in the day; he took me upstairs when he was working on something; he walked me everyday and my dependency on him increased everyday. He gave me chocolates which are called Dentastix, chew sticks, meat biscuits in human language. I spent a lot of quality time with all my pets, and I didn’t want these days to end.

Soon thereafter, online classes began for Aaryan, and my playing time with him was cut down by about 2 whole hours! I hated being alone and my pets working yet again. I kept calling them sweetly everyday, and finally, an annoyed Aaryan came downstairs and since then, I’ve been sitting with him during most of his classes. I had nothing to be worried about because all day long I was spending time with one or the other pet. But in the next few days, I made an enemy.

As a dog, I’ve never had any enemies, and I hoped to keep it that way, but this thing irritated me. My hatred towards mobile phones, tablets, laptops increased everyday. All these electronics are crappy and nonsense, and there’s nothing more important than spending time with your loved ones. None of the above will fetch the ball for you, walk with you and think of you in your absence. All they have to do is be switched on, and being stared at.

I was very productive during the lockdown: I barked at strangers (even though they were my neighbors), I acted in a YouTube Video with another dog friend and it was directed by his pet, I tore the cotton out of the my luxury bed, I stayed away from my pets for two whole weeks while they were away (woof, that was tough), I chewed and tore masks, pooped when my pet took me out for a walk, and ruined the entire backyard a couple of times (17 times to be precise). There were so many things I did but can’t even remember, and my pets sometimes call me Mr.Productive (that was probably a joke).

I spent a lot of time with my buddies, and as I expected, they celebrated my 1st birthday in grand style. They bought me toys, sticks, biscuits and a new food bag as gifts for my birthday. I also made two more dog friends, Loki and Dobby, who were owners of my pet Aaryan’s friends. I never met any of them, but I worked with Loki in a YouTube video, and met Dobby’s pet Arnav and Dhruv a few months ago. I’m excited to meet them when I can, but when I watched the news with papa, it seemed they’re imposing another lockdown. Ahh, I’m going to rule once again.

It’s been over a year with my human family, and I have enjoyed every bit of it. I don’t care if they’re angry, in a good mood or anything, I just love them immensely and they do too. I heard there’s something going on as Covonavirus, wait I got this, it’s called coronavirus, and it’s really dangerous and contagious. That’s the reason why the government has imposed several lockdowns and protocols. Thankfully, I’ve already gotten my vaccine, but I’m worried about my pets’ safety and several others. I hope this thing ends sooner than later. Until next time, Stay Safe, healthy and wear a mask and sanitize yourself regularly.

Adios.
