BUCHOO

There are any number of sayings about how the people around you influence your life. And here i was looking at six months and so had to decide whom i wanted to stay with, I had to decide on a roommate. So when I was faced with this decision on the commencement of my most important and longest course i decided to share my room with one of my coursemates. What i did not realise was that i would be sharing the room with two other people, one of whom would soon rise to status of the owner of the room. One as i have already told you was a coursemate of mine and the other was his dog Buchoo. A weird name, but i guess you can't expect too many better names from a bachelor. So there was this sweet little white labrador pup who could hardly cover a small basket fully and who had to be fed pieces of chapattis from your own hands and who could hardly finish a small cup of milk. We started living together and soon she started growing bigger graduating from a small cup of milk to a tiffin box full of milk and bread, outgrowing collar after collar and growing bigger and bigger. She even managed to overcome her vertigo which she had developed as a pup. But along with her, also grew her tantrums, her incessant barking in the afternoons, the time for our siesta, her dirtying the room with both the solid and liquid forms of excreta, and most of all her teething problems.
Sfe would chew at just about anything from clothes and shoes to the people who wore them and from pens to the notes which were months of hard work. All the menace apart she still managed to keep us captivated and till date remains the darling of the course.
She has grown much bigger now and has even managed to jump across the drain which was like the Grand Canyon that she could never jump across. And whenever her master has to go out of station or for the evening she is never short of people who are more than happy to take care of this little sweetheart.
