Of Dogs and sisters........!

I have two younger sisters, i am going to talk about the younger one. once upon a time my sister Georgina had two dogs- Princess and Gruffy, Princess was the smaller fluffy one and gruff y was the bigger one( thats the extent of my knowledge on dogs since i don't profess to be a dog lover). Both dogs used to play together using every trick that dogs know about and love each other dearly. they play hide and seek in the living room between the sofas and the tables. they will get into all sorts of mischief annoying the hell out of mom and my younger brother. my dad was a silent spectator, me....i am neutral since i am away most of the time in university and i dont have much stuff at home. my other sister, she just lock her room either outside or from inside. once princess, as she was quite small in size got inside my parents wardrobe and stole one of dads underwear. then both she and gruffy undertook the task of playing with it and somehow discovered the numerous holes!
both of them must have come to an agreement that one of them has to wear it. Georgina discovered gruffy on the floor with both his hind legs inserted in the two holes meant for the legs with a helpless look on his adorable doggie face!
times go by and one day princess got hit by a bus and died on the spot. that was the saddest day for georgina and gruffy. gruffy whined and pined away the whole week, georgina was inconsolable .
Enters elie, another dog lover and a staunch friend. elie came crying all the way from her home(by the way its 2minutes walk),wearing a black dress(again a sign of mourning in christian tradition). Both of them hug each other and cried.
Enters elie's granny, she came following elie to pray for georgina, so that she wont miss princess so much. such a sweet granny. i wish most of our parents are as concerned about our emotional welfare as they do about our spiritual and academic well being!
some people find the whole business of two young girls consoling each other over a dead dog amusing. its kids stuff they say....and grownups do not consider it worth their while to pay much attention.(theres no personal sarcastic remark here).
but theres also elements of pathos and remarkable spirit of strength in the incident. two young girls loving their dogs crazy, a grandmother who is no longer involved in the crazy warefare of life,finds time for her grandchild's friend, and gruffy sad at the loss of his only true friend.....they all pay attention to one another,mourning a loss, united in grief.Dog, Granny and Two girls. This i see beauty in it..........and me? what more can i say..............m the one reporting the incident as was narrated to me. After all i am neutral.........cant say if i will start liking a dog, after all i didnt have the good fortune to meet princess...as usual i was away...................
