Prachi’s former German shepherd dog, Sheru, passed away from a fever. Everyone in the family was sad. After a month or two, her father decided to purchase a puppy in the hopes that it would lift their spirits and make her and the family feel better. Prachi was feeling incredibly alone and her heart was broken.
She then spoke to her friend who resides in Jeypore. He was aware of a seller who was ready to sell. Prachi brought a Labrador named Coco when it was around 26 days old in 2020 during the pandemic.
By the time Coco turned one year old, they had adopted their second child, a dachshund named Sophie. Her brother's friend had brought her but was unable to keep her because of family matters, so her brother informed him that they would adopt her. Sophie was one month old then.
Prachi says that both the furry friends have enlightened their home and lives. “We had to keep an eye on them all the time because they were so tiny. My brother would get them a ton of toys to play with, and my maid and I would make little pillows and a blanket bed for them to sleep on,” shared Prachi.
She furter added, “I used to train my labrador, Coco, and play fetch with her at first. She is very intelligent, gregarious and energetic. She used to carry her own basket to the terrace when she wanted to take a bath in the sun. Coco loved playing with my mother. She would always take one of her socks and run around the house to play, tease her by showing it to her, knowing that her mother would run after her.”
Whereas Sophie is not very active. She loves to sleep and play according to her mood. She also loves to get pampered and attention from everyone.
Prachi says that she eventually became a mother to these kids; starting from taking care of them to playing along and seeing them grow up.
Caring for a pet gives us a sense of purpose and responsibility. Having another living being that relies on us for their well-being and happiness can provide a profound sense of fulfillment and meaning in our lives.
