Two pups

Today I went to feed them in the morning. The large brown one was gone. Just the small brown and the small white one left. I did not bother to ask the guards nearby, obviously someone's taken him. So now its just down to 2 pups. The small brown one just breaks my heart. The Mother seemed to be looking around for the larger brown one. The remaining two were following her around and getting lost. Finally, i located both tried to get them to stay and then left, looking back.

In the evening i went again. They were curled up with Mother. I fed her as she lay. They had eaten some rice someone had left. But after finishing, she got out and out they came too. She went running off somewhere. Now it was really tough for me to get them into their little place. I kept picking them up and placing them back, but they would clamber out. Maybe the mother does not want to feed them and after eating they want a breast feed. This went on. Finally the brown one settled down but i was shooing the white one back.

Finally, i came away with a heavy heart. Mother Earth, it is up to You. You will do the best for them, and for all living beings. Its tough for You. I held them against my face, not knowing whether i will see them again. Such innocent creatures, Mother, they know nothing of this world. What beautiful innocence. Where ever you send me, Mother, I will do my best to love your children, to serve them. Heal me of my selfishness so i may serve them better.
