*It would be just a
shit post for you if you are not an animal lover or have never been with pets.
In such a case, pls stay away ........
Its pain again that is bringing me back to writing. It was
just getting difficult without words this time around. Coz it pained like this
after a long long time.
I lost my 03 months old pup “dolcy” yesterday to severe Anaemia.
02 months back my family lost our 04 year old dalmecian “Buzo” to Jaundice.
What they meant to us is perhaps only to be understood by animal lovers which
by Gods disgrace are so few in this world.
In the last one week of Dolcy’s suffering, our next door
neighbour stopped visiting us at all. They even didn’t appreciate the idea of
their 07 year old daughter coming over who otherwise has been visiting our
house religiously for every single day in the last 05 years. Today when couple
of my colleagues inquired about my absence yesterday I told them the reason.
And I got some strange reactions. One being “Oh dear pls don’t worry. I will gift you one
on your bday” Some were indifferent enough, as if its not a reason to mourn at
all asking me “are you sad?” I could
barely hold back my tears and I said that I am happy (which I am in a way to
not see her suffer anymore).
To this part of the world “They are just dogs”.
To this part of the world “They are just dogs”.
Dolcy was suffering from the last 20 days. Each day we saw
her condition deteriorating. My husband and my sister (yes we all started
putting together to take care of her) nursed her day in and out. There was a
proper chart being maintained for monitoring her health throughout the day.
They half slept most of the nights and the last 02 nights were just sleepless.
Our Vet doctor would call every now and then to learn about her health (Have
you honestly heard about doctors calling 10 times in a day to know about their
patients). A doctor in true sense and meaning of the profession. His assistant
was sent to our house everyday to take her treatment forward. When Dolsy had
almost collapsed in the morning, it was him who pumped her heart and brought
her back to life. For this part of the world “They are Gods children”
Buzo was wrongly diagonised. Infact we couldn’t even find a
good vet in Asansol (my in-laws place) to treat him. During Dolcy’s time we
were fortunate to meet this doctor and his whole team. After a point in the
treatment I could sense how helpless they were. The availability of medicines,
equipments is so difficult for animals. Most of the things being unavailable in
India. One out of around 50,000 pharmacy
shops might keep veterinary medicines .There is no oxygen mask and no blood banks
for them either. Medical Science has so prioritized lives..... For this part of the world “They are always
secondary”
By the evening her condition deteriorated and finally she
opened her eyes to say a final goodbye. Those eyes and that look will remain
captured in my eyes for life. Both Buzo and Dolcy lived as our children for
each single day of our existence. What pains is the fact that they would never
come back. What pains is the fact that we couldn’t do everything possible for
them due to lack of treatment. What pains is the general attitude of the people
to treat them as waste or just a show piece in their house. Some even hating them.
One life hating the other is so
unbelievable and that pains the most.
As for our family...............we will miss them as long as
we live. In our world – they are just
angels.
RIP BUZO & DOLCY.
