A Dog's Tale


Snowy Rao.. Thats her name..Came into our lives when she was barely a month old, a little ball of fur... Exactly 15 years ago during Diwali time my bro got her home .I remember during Diwali ,because of all the loud fire-crackers and how scared she was as a puppy...

Since then Snowy has brought joy to our lives.Mom was sceptical in the beginning about raising a dog...Although now they are unseparable.. Snowy being a vegetarian is probably why she is 15 and still going strong....!She loves tomatoes,cucumber and bananas.. Thats all has kept her goin..Weird but true..She loves ice-cream, chocolates .During her puppy days just the scent of chocolate, tomato used to make her run around like crazy!

We've had our laughs at her cost...There were times she got electrocuted(twice actually) ,attacked by other dogs, gotten lost couple of times, fell down from the first storey(just a few days ago!) and not even a scratch!Snowy Rao the invincible??? And they say Cats have 9 lives...? Old wives tales indeed...!


Absolutely unselfish, giving unconditional love ,very child-like-thats my precious Snowy .This is a quote from the heart warming movie Marley and me,  "A dog doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his."

  2. this miserable little pom has survived well beyond its age ( and poor dog is still a virgin....hmmm...tht maybe a reason for it to survive so long.....hoping against hope ...someday...) lolzzz... jokes apart ...this dog has seen us thru our worst , bad and good phases(chronlogically speaking) of our lives.... and its biological clock is still ticking... just 3 weeks back we thought it was a goner , and god damn it just cheats death every single time...what can i say ... no wonder its part of the family and my ditzy sis has the audacity of baptising it "Snowy rao" .... and the poor dog had to bear the onslaught of sis brandishing her cosmetics, poor doggy has had a makeover with lipstick, bindi, nailpolish, got combed to death and what not...this doggy will haunt u from its grave sis, have no doubts!!!
