art of making friends !

We have relatives from kolkatta.

Before coming here they were very anxious and petrified if i may add, not knowing what to expect when you hear that there is a dog who stays in the same house as the family, shares their bed, is spoilt and pampered silly.(Ha ha I  can imagine their dilemma !)

Their first encounter with Dexter was really funny. I and bro had gone to pick them up and my baba got this brainer that he should take dexter out for a walk at 4:30 am so that he is not home when they come and they get some time to get used to the fact called dexter.

Unfortunately and as usual baba goofed up with the timings so low and behold ,Dexter was down when they arrived and Dexter being Dexter was on red alert as his mom had strangers in her car and came running up to me rescue me from the tangles of strange people he absolutely knew nothing about.

They were devastated not only by his size but also his volume and energy, more so after a long and tiresome journey, the jumping and barking was the most unwelcome welcome anyone would look forward to.


But again Dexter being Dexter..... soon became friends with my relatives. Within the first day they had graduated from being petrified to patting his head with one finger. (But no means a small achievement !)

But then came the next problem, he refused to allow them to sleep on my parents bed as that is the one he shares with them..

So yes guys my guests are sleeping on mattresses on the floor and dexter is ruling the bed !

But thank god for peace returning to our paradise... guests seem to have overcome their fear  and now a days dexter wakes up his new play mate with a lick (which is again unwelcome), hey I never claimed paradise to be perfect !
