10th October 2012...
Caesar boy... you turned 10 today.... 10 on 10 as I say! *touchwood*
So since I did NOT get to wish you, I thought I would write a lovely little note for you... describing to all and sundry as to the marvellous spirit thats my Caesar!
You have surprised me with your sharpness & intelligence... inspite of being blind for the last 2 years, you know every inch of the house, where there are steps and turns, you actually bound down the stairs.... and you know the exact number of paw-steps that lead from the bedroom to the kitchen.. your 2 favourite rooms in the house... and you are our very own rat exterminator... how you manage to stalk them and finish them, I will never know.. but yes please, do NOT brandish them as trophies in your jaw later !!
You make me proud of your tenacity.. a human being would have probably given in to his diabetes, thyroid and poor sight, but you, my ferocious little mite, dont let us take you for granted. You bark and growl for your share when we are eating at the dinner table. You dont like being collared or leashed and you make sure we face your displeasure when we attempt to do so. And you bullied Fido, my doberman!!! (PS: i have this theory, fido thot he was as tiny as a daschund and Ceaar thought he was as big as Fido and thats why Caesar acted like the boss)
Plus you have trained us all so well, that one bark from you at our doorstep and we know Caesar has to peee... woooof....yes master :D
And you are the cuddliest and warmest fuzz ball ever... You have warmed Ambika and my feet so well during cold nights in Pune, that we shall be eternally thankful to you.. Ma was right, daschunds are the best heaters EVER!
So my loyal & faithful friend, this year I hope, you get to eat lots of kaju, a little bit of Mango (Caesar, its a LOT of sugar), have lots of mattresses & pillows to chew on and you amass a rock/stone collection of a million plus...so that one day you build that tiny little stone cottage that Ma always thought you were hoarding for... her loyal son, she said :P
hugs and kisses... See you sooooon :)
PS: and may you have many more such awesome birthdays...so that I can wish you in person....touchwood to a million times to infinity... mwahh
