more on Frisky

Last Saturday, we had been walking Frisky, when we saw an old lady walking her dog. As usual, Frisky was ready to make friends with the dog, and that dog too, seemed quite friendly. As we talked, we came to know that the old lady had got the dog two days back from her daughter, who lives nearby. The dog had followed the old lady's grand daughter home, from the road, and her daughter didn't have the heart to let it wander on the streets again. Since she was a busy working mother, she had left it with her mother, our neighbour. So we suggested she could contact the Humane Society, and check if the dog was micro chipped , so that he could be returned to his owners.

We felt sorry for the old lady, and Madhu offered to do it for her, and we brought the dog home. the first ten minutes or so, the dog was scared,a dn ran about the whole house, trying to find an escape[e route. Frisky wanted to play,and was excited at seeing another dog at home, so he took a dominant role. The other dog, whom the lady had named Surprise, was much bigger than frisky in size, and he had a voracious appetite. Madhu gave him dog treats which he gobbled up. Seeing that he was eating, Frisky, who had not condescended to eat any of his treats, ate too. Hmm..healthy competition. !!!!

We checked up if the Humane society was open,and we went there. The 20 minutes journey in the car was another drama. Suffice to say that, Frisky subsided, and Surprise was hyper. Frisky actually seemed to think that our affections had shifted to the other dog.

So we finally reached the Humane Society. A scan showed that Surprise was micro-chipped, which means that he could be returned to his owners. So we turned him in, and came back home with Frisky, and played with him for a long time to make sure that he knew we loved him. We went and informed our neighbour, and she gratefully thanked us, saying that she was too old to be able to take care of a dog at home.

We have photos of Surprise and Frisky playing, because we thought, even for the half an hour he is with us, let us capture the moments of their play.
