When in Kanyakumari it is a different zone altogether. This place elevates me in every way. Today was one such. Dad had to go to the hospital, I wanted to go eat biryani in my fav place, and my cousin wanted to pick some jewelry and gifts, so mom joined along. All of us went. Mum decided to accompany dad for a checkup and they were delayed. So I took my cousin to a favorite nearby pond. Near the pond, I narrated the story of the three dogs that I met at the pond. The same story for you again.
Once in the same pond, I was sitting on the steps. The pond was filled to the brim so a few steps were also covered in water. Enjoying the waves of the pond and also watching the 100s of activities that happen around in a village pond. Butterflies, birds jump walking the leaves, ducks disappearing into the water on one side and getting up a few meters away... the usual ones. That's when I saw three dogs. Three dogs of different age groups. They all came to the pond to drink water. Must be the local area dogs, I thought to myself coz they were familiar with the area. And they didn't give an F about me sitting there. 🤷
The first dog probably the eldest walked straight down the steps. The last few steps were covered with water but the elder one knew it exactly and went to the last step and sat there with half its body covered in water. It stared straight up enjoying the view. The second one didn't go as far but decided to stay within the visible area of the steps. It didn't want to venture further down coz the steps weren't visible. And clearly, it was in a hurry. Drink the water and get the F out. While I was watching both these dogs the third one was still undecided on whether to drink the water from a step above or to actually put the foot in water and then drink. Clearly, it didn't want to put its leg in the water. Too scared for this.
Which dog are you? Where are you in the steps? Scared? Zen mode? Or trying to get out?
The entire incident was recorded on my phone camera. The video below.
Thanks to my sister for making me relieve this beautiful moment, thanks to dad for the amazing biryani, and thanks to mum for my storytelling. ❤️🙏
Btw, which 🐕🐕🦺🐩 are you? 😊
