My little one has been having me only the weekends for about 8 months now…he complained he cried he looked dejected but daddy could not change his schedule! Work has been hectic and I end up working most weekends, which add to his woes, not to mention punnus !
Vito has been very good the past few months except that look he gave me when we moved to a new home. The yard is kind of smaller and without a fence. The look he gives me says, ” ailaa dad yeh tho shuru hothe hee khatham hogaya” are you sure we gonna live here? Newho! Whatever man is what he resigns to! A new thing he’s learnt is, I leave the door open, and say stay while I go to get his leash, he’s waiting for me and not running through the open door. It made me proud the first time, and makes my heart melt with love every time he does it!
The good thing is punnu now has a job in Dallas with little travel so, he gets her full attention and of course my brother is here too and he’s ever ready to spoil vito, so all is well.
My boy has a problem! It is actually quiet complicated. There is only two things you can do when at home,
1. Play / engage him in an activity
2. Look at him or talk about him
That is the minimum level of attention you can give him! No TV, no games, no chatting amongst yourselves , unless you are prepared for the fiercest growl followed by a loud shout of agony or anger or whatever you want to call it. So a simple tip, if you want to be on the dons good side, do one of the 2 things afore mentioned. But hey who can resist not doing one of the two? He’s so cute with his expressive eyes loving gaze don’t forget the bear hug which makes you feel loved.
Every time I walk in the house, he makes me feel like a war hero or something! I realize how much I missed him and more importantly how much he missed me. Last week when I went home it was after dinner time, and my boy had not eaten yet….all I said was vito go eat your food, and off he went came back 10 mins later….a look which said done dad! Love in it’s purest form….
You know like they say, Be the man your dog thinks you are, and am striving for it 😉 it is so true!
