Pet of the Month
POPO
LOVE FUR-EVER!!
By: Ekta Bhalla
A
big Woof to all the wonderful Humans out there
reading about me.
My name is Popo and according to mom I am the
world’s friendliest Pug. She feels I am really ‘pudgy’ (whatever
that’s supposed to mean!!) … I guess she wants to say that I am
incredibly cute and huggable (which is totally true).
I was born on 1st July 2010 and you can say that I’m the world’s
most pampered boy!
I am crazy about my human family and we’re quite a funky lot. My
human parents are Ekta and Ashish Bhalla and they love me to
the moon and back. We grin and play and are wild, like untamed
spirits wandering the planet.
I like befriending humans and they like my company as well. My
Human siblings are Milind and Suryansh and we throw quite a
ruckus around our house. I play fetch, peek-a-boo and catch with
them. You can see numerous chewed toys lying around my house,
but mom doesn’t seem to mind.
My Mom is totally nuts about me and I love her unconditionally.
She is devoted to me and takes good care of me. She keeps me
warm, feeds me my favourite treats and loves me like her own
baby. Mum makes me feel like I’m the ultimate prize she won at
the lotto!
Life is all about fun and frolic and you can say that I’ve been
spoiled rotten. I see the world nose fi rst- For me everything
revolves around my nose- I can smell stuff from afar. Sometimes
I feel I can see right through people, their emotions and their
personalities. Well, it’s a dog thing. I guess we understand humans
far better than they can ever know their own species.
My favourite pastime is sleeping and I really don’t mind the extra
weight I’ve put on recently. I simply love my bathing and grooming
sessions. Th ey have established a special bond between mom and
me. I feel cherished and loved. She even talks to me about anything
and everything under the sun. Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn’t
found my family where would I have been? Th is makes me sad.

Mon tells everybody that I was a god sent gift to her; that I’m her
bundle of joy. I love to snuggle on her footwear and enjoy the long
morning walks with her. We share a special connection. She is my
favourite human on earth and I get anxious if she leaves me alone
for too long.
My favourite toy is a blue coconut oil bottle. I found it lying around
in mom’s room. I love playing with it. It keeps rolling under the
bed and out onto the porch, but I keep chasing it until I’m tired. I
love to run aft er birds and butterfl ies. It’s a pity I cannot fl y. I bark
away cats, rodents and spiders.
My favourite dish is chicken and rice and I drool at the sight of
paneer (cottage cheese). Mom gives me my favourite treats and
dresses me up. She bought this really cool tuxedo for me as she
feels I am a thorough gentleman.
My favourite time of the day is when Mom and I sit together and
she reads a story to me. I snuggle up to her and feel secure and
carefree. When I look outside, I see numerous dogs abandoned by
their parents or living on the street fi ghting for their mere survival
on a daily basis. And I thank God that I’m not one of them.
I’m the celebration of all things doggo in this family that welcomed
me when my previous owners left me with them while going on a
vacation. Ever since, this has been my home.
We party, we play ….. We dig each other. I think I couldn’t have
gotten any luckier. If life is a journey, I don’t want it to end coz
right now I’m having the time of my life.
