Stories of dogs continue with a few more . .....One relates to Babloo. He was barked at by a lame dog when he passed it on way back from school near home at Shillong in the afternoon. He used to throw stone to scare it against attack. One day he was ambushed by it and bitten in one leg. He had to take 9 anti-rabies injections.I don't remember if any one else of us was bitten by a dog. I was bitten by monkeys a couple of times in the roof of the house at Fatehpur when i went there for flying kites. My father did not give me anti-rabies injections. Only a paste of vermilion (a brilliant red pigment) and ghee was applied to the cut marks/wounds and that was all.

Three Dogs
We had three dogs after children were born. First,was an Apso,a Lhasa puppy,given by V.N. Sharma,the then SP,Tejpur in 1978. It was fond of children. It could not adjust in Delhi. A loving creature lost its balance in the new surroundings. It was injured in a hit by the watchman on its head at Pragati Vihar (where we lived for a couple of months on posting at Delhi before we were allotted a house) when it tried to bite him. It breathed its last only after Silku's affectionate touch as if it was waiting for it. Venita cried. Second,was a German Spitz,given by a local Assamese admirer. Pilku was fond of it and it was fond of him too. After lot of persuasion he agreed to part with it to his maternal uncle in 1983. Third, was a local breed,Jimi. It was fond of all and Silku in particular. We were at Rishikesh when it died in the lap of Shiva Mohan. Silku came from Gurugram and participated in its funeral at Vikaspuri. We did 'Tarpan' in the Ganges for peace to the departed soul. Earlier too we had couple of dogs at Fatehpur. I remember one,its name was Hira,a local breed,fawn coloured,very playful. A dependable watch dog too.
