Aww he's so cute; he’s adorable…nah these comments are not for me but for our four legged pet Beckham. Whenever we take him for a stroll, onlookers greet him with these compliments. Beckham, our first baby!
He's two-years-old now but when he had come to us he was barely 21 days old. I thought by mistake we had got a mouse. He looked like a rodent. Actually unless the puppy has crossed 35 days, it should stay with its mother but since money makes the world go round, the breeder lied to us and very conveniently, put him on the plane and sent to us.
One of Gauri’s friends happened to tell her about this breeder in Delhi and the next thing we did was order a pug from him. He is our Beckham. Imagine a 21-day old Beckham in a basket coming alone all the way from Delhi. He was so tiny he fitted in my palm.
Like a baby we would feed him with a bottle. Time flies and how. He’s grown now and is very obedient. He listens to us. If I tell him to sit down, not to get up, he just does that, he doesn't get up. The kids of our building are his friends. Whenever they have holidays, they come and play with him.
When Nevaan and Katya were born, Beckham was a little confused and insecure. He couldn’t understand what was happening. But now he knows that Nevaan and Katya are also our babies like him. That we are all a big, happy family and that we can never stop loving Beckham. He will always remain our first baby.
