#Nature: The Stray Dog Family

Day-1:

Saw a 'mother-dog' walking with her litter of pups. The three pups were so small that they appeared unbelievable. But they were there, walking behind their mother who led them to cross the road. The third one in the rear was covered in black mud. Perhaps it had fallen in some drain and was rescued by its mother. Its small tail, covered in mud was pointing to the sky, looking like an antenna. The mother-dog was walking slowly, because while she walked one step, the pups had to run four, in order to be with her.

It is a moment like this when earth stops rotating, time stops clocking, heart stops beating, wind stops blowing and the 'moment' is frozen in time! It is absolute 'nirvana'!

Day-2: 

While passing through the same lane, saw another amazing scene. The 'mother dog' was taking a stroll on the road along with a male dog, perhaps the father of the three pups. At just a small distance from them, the three beautiful small pups were playing. And all three of them were shining in their white fur. It means that the small pup which was drenched in mud last evening, was washed and cleaned by its mother and now it was impossible to differentiate between the three pups!

How did she clean the little muddy pup? A colleague said that she must have brought the pup in a pool of water, would have made it wet with it and then shook it to remove all the dirt and finally would have cleaned up whatever remained with her tongue. That was his guess of course. Whatever was done, it was done impeccably! Heart warming for the second day straight.

Day-3: 

One little white pup was see walking around. It was soooo very small. Its a darling. 

Hope to write more.
