Chapter Three

Jackie turned out to be one of the most robust handsome dogs of the area. With his off-white fur, with glassy shine, the hunk style walk, a deep voice, he even impressed girls. Meghna always enjoyed the looks, both admiring and despised, when she walked him or rather he walked her.
But everything comes with a cost. The fur that made her proud was so difficult to maintain, with Prince Jackie’s obsession for puddles. Meghna would spend an hour to give him bath, and will admire him as he whisks his body to dry himself up. But that whisking would make Meghna take bath again. As she would come out of her bath, she would see a mud packed Jackie. How and when he sneaked out of house and ruined all her hard work was an unsolved mystery. She was fed up. Finally she asked Mona, if there was a solution.
“See Meghna, he is a furry animal, though we keep trimming him but he feels the heat. To soothe himself he looks out for puddles. So why not create something of this sort for him at home. A hygienic home made conditioned pest free controlled conditioned mud bed.”
“A mud bed, hmmm, sounds good; we can use a corner on terrace. That’s a good idea” Meghna nodded.
“Not a good idea, but a billion dollar suggestion, after all your smile is worth a billion” Mona was grinning.
So for Prince Jackie, a mud bed was created, with superfine clay that was sieved to make sure there were no pebbles, earthworms, beetles in it. Then water was sprinkled all over on it. The dimensions were carefully taken care of, that if prince Jackie wants to stretch, then also the space is not less, so they ended up creating a 5 feet by 4 feet and a feet high mud bed, with a green shade on it.
