Yes, I am a dog-lover! Thanks to Enid Blyton, my love for dogs dates back to 4th std. But the twist in the story: my mother hates them. So I cannot have a real dog as a pet. So my simple solution: I switched over to stuffed toys - or let's say, stuffed dogs!
I had one cute little white one, with nice ears and tail. But he became dirty in a year or so, so I got a new one, this time a bigger one. And would you believe it, he was huge and red! I used to adore him a lot! He had wonderful hanging ears, a verrrry long tail, two legs were long, two were very short! He was a bit out of shape, but the expression on his face was too cute! And one fine day, his head simply came off! I had it sewn back! And after some years, I don't know how, but my mother talked me into throwing him away! I miss him so much now! Next I had many other stuffed toys - a kitten, a proper teddy bear, a pig. But my current favourite is: Dolby.
Dolby's a duck, he looks like a lost, dumb duck. But he's very sweet. He has had a string of names: Bodo, Dobbie Dobsky, and now - Dolby. (You must have heard of Ray Dolby (AVE!!!)) He is my companion in many a lonely hours. And he has 3 dressses - one I've stitched myself! I am an amateur fashion designer too, so I designed this one specially for him, complete with frills and pleats and matching blue buttons! He looks stunning in it! Well, if you have pets and need designer clothes for them, now you know whom to contact!
So now after dogs, I am into ducks!
