Goofy-The pet

Goofy came to our lives 6years back. He was then a two month old cute little stout puppy. From the very beggining he became the cynosure of all eyes at home. As time passed by, he fully grew up in a year's time. He was just so loving but had become a little aggressive also. Once my mother was walking him, he suddenly pulled on the leash and ran off at the sight of a rodent in the bushes near by. My mother fell down and it fractured her arm. After this incident we got him castrated. It dramatically calmed him down and his unfair behaviour improved greatly. But yes, he was as playful and funny as ever! We all knew, he had unknowingly hurt my mother and this incident never ever changed our love for him. One day Goofy was out walking and roaming. He happened to see our former maid and recognised her. She was going back to her house which is miles up the mountain. Goofy started following her. She asked him to get back but in vain. He kept walking. By the time they reached her home it had been dark. She decided to keep him in her place till morning. She could also not inform us as she did not have a phone facility. That night it snowed also. Back home everyone started searching from Goofy and we looked around almost 20 miles from our house. We beleived we had lost him. I thought of what could have happened and was he alive or not, with all kind of negative thoughts flashing my mind. No one slept that night. In the morning Goofy was back home with the maid. He had that sheepish look as if he was apologising for his act of elopement. As he had walked down a good distance in the snow his nose was runny and he also had mild fever. I gave him medicines and he kept sleeping the entire day. Next morning, he was again active and energetic. Recently he again went out to the main bus stop with my mom and got into the bus creating a ruckus there. He only got down when my mom came down with him. He is certainly living upto his name. But we love this wacky silly pet.....Oh my Dog!!!!!!
