She was a 2 month old female pup who came to my home in Mathura in 1997 22nd december, intentionally bought by my Father but he denied for doing the same because of my Mother's wrath for bringing her. After lots of quarrel and debates she flaged the green symbol, we could keep her and on the pretext of keeping the house clean and proper, ''YES MA'AM'' , we said as a union.
she was a half breed, german shepherd and desi mix and that too a beautiful one, she searched the whole house first and then bought joy and laughter with each passing day ! as in that month only I had burned both of my legs on 8th dec, I was home abound with her and I loved it, may be my Father bought her keeping me in his mind, God knows but I think he did that only.he never told me though !
when I started going to school , I used to get impatient to go back to home and see her waiting for me and wagging her her tail in Ecstasy and excitement, I was her best friend and the only one who could play with her ,Lassie went to many journeys with me , to dehradun , massourie and just every where in my Father's car. hence may be that's why she became ferocious and dangerous , nobody wanted or dared came in our home for the shear fear of her biting her , my family became intolerant because of her behavior and once as we on our way to dehradun, my Father stopped in jungle on the high way and ordered me '' let her go boy! she is a menace , leave her here and our lives will be more easy to live'', I feared my father like jews to nazis but I said something very startling and surprising to my Father ''Papa if she goes , I will also go'', my Father looked deeply in my Mother's eyes and then just fired up the engine and said nothing at all. May be he was angry to see me so disobedient or may he was happy to see how daring I could be for my loved one's and not just an another naughtiest boy in the campus. but is really surprised me and them also. I dared to say no to the terminator.
in the year 2000 , may came in our lives, u all know may for whom I got an single fd, now u remeber ? good. now we had 2 pets and they used to be friends but after shear jeoulosy lassie started to bite and wound may and thus making her stay out of the home in dust and soil all day , she was denied entry into the home and thus not a family member anymore, I hated may for this sometimes but it was lassies fault altogether but this treatment broke my heart many a times, she started getting sick and thin day by day and used to murmur in her dreams, I thought this is all psychlogical and befriended her as much as possible, but I was more busy buying autocar and overdrive magazines and spended a lot on bikes ...u can say I was a crazy teenager who wasnt so aware of whats happening aroud.
my Father told me that something is wrong withy her I didnt had the time to save her or show her 2 a doctor. It was 9th november 2002 , saturday ...i was tired and very exhausted after a hard day getting my Fathers scooter repaired...when I came home, maa told me that she is not well and trying to vomit something, she was drinking a lot of water and couldn't lie down. I told them that in the morning I will take her 2 a vet and lied down on bed, she came 2 me often without uttering a word...i saw her many times that she was unable to lie down and was unable stop her vomiting sound, I was just concentrating 2 sleep while it was close 2 1 am on sunday , she came into my room and kept looking at me and I said everything will be o.k. and then pulled a blanket over my head ready 2 sleep, suddenly her sound stoped coming 2 me after a thud noice, and I said "thanks God she is o.k. now".and then I i saw her LYING at a corner and continuesly looking at me. I kept lookinhg at her 4 about 5 seconds and then I said "lassie?"she didnt showed any sighs of attention so I called her name even louder "lassie?!" and then I started 2 scream like crazy "LASSIE-LASSIE-LASSIELASSIEEEEEEE!!!!" BUT she wouldnt move a bit.. I jumped out 0f the bed ans kept screaming her name and my whole family came into my room watching me screaming so loudly...everyone started crying and I still couldnt beleive that she is DEAD.
