Active Rusty!

Favorite Prey of Rusty

Rusty was very good at sensing rats and mouse. He used to get the smell of rats even before us.
Our old washing machine was favourite refuge for rats. The moment rat enters the machine; Rusty will scratch the machine and make lots of fuss to reach the rat. The rat was also very smart. It will not budge till Rusty is around. I have to remove Rusty from the area and open the machine to rescue the rat.
We used to stay in a very old house, which had lots of small holes to facilitate rats and mouse infestation. Every now and then, they will raid my kitchen. Those days were very busy for Rusty for he used to be very busy patrolling the kitchen and store. Whenever he used catch mice or rat, he used to keep it on my feet and I used to proudly pat him for his job.
Even in other old house he used to chase small mice and baby mice. The moment he put his heavy paws on teeny-meeny mouse, it will die. What followed this chase was my home was affected by cyclone of sorts. I have to tidy whole of my house after this dog and mouse chase.

I really miss his active chase and his cyclonic upheaval of my house!

Happy Birthday Rusty


Happy Birthday Rusty!

Today is Rusty’s birthday!

He descended onto this Earth on 1st December1997, to give us immense pleasure and joy. He gave us unlimited happiness, for which we all are always grateful to GOD!
We used to celebrate his birthday with special non-vegetarian food for him and a cake for him. I used to bake a cake for him. Kops and Krish used to cut cake on his behalf. He used to love his chocolate cake and used to gobble most of it. Dogs in our vicinity shared the food prepared for Rusty. The owner of other dogs used to feel surprised by this gesture. So, he used to have his own party with his friends and us.
His last birthday was memorable in a way. I baked his favorite chocolate cake. His Master came in the evening and we all together celebrated his birthday. Kops and Krish cut the cake in his presence. He was very happy and had his share of cake first. He shared his birthday cake with our neighbors who were surprised. Then he demanded more and he got most of the cake. I felt so satisfied.
Today when he is in heaven, I miss his birthday and each and every birthdays, which was celebrated like never before. He lived his life with Blessings of Higher One! All his wishes were fulfilled and he always lead a happy life.
May God Bless Him Wherever He Is!
