Alice and Me

She is our friend, our partner, our defender, our dog. We are her life, her love, her leaders. She will be ours, faithful and true, to the last beat of her heart. We owe it to her to be worthy of such devotion


Raj went on a 3 day long trip to New York recently and that was my first night all alone with Eesha. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten Alice but I am not worried about her security but being all alone with Eesha, I do get worried about Eesha's security.

I must say more than Alice being dependent on me, I was dependent on her becasue she can stay without food and water for days, I know (she has done that in past) but I can NOT stay one whole night without her support and courage. Not that I am scared of anything. I have stayed alone in past without her as well, but now it's not all about me. With a small baby with me I am more concerned about her security and well being that my own self's. The courage that I get just by thinking there is someone powerful around me to protect me from all evils cannot be jotted down in a blog. Normally she is just a baby, but in these extra ordinary situations she becomes my guardian. More than she follows what I say, I follow what her instinct says. So, if she is barking at night at vague hours I definitely come down and make sure everything is OK. She wont bark for no reason.

It's not fun staying alone but both of these kids keep me busy all day long and I don't even have time to think about Raj till I reach office and see him online. It's not fun :) but I can't complaint . It's a new experience and I am embracing it so far. Hopefully Raj doesn't have to make these trips too often.
