As it is our winter holidays I and my sister where spending a few days in my mother’s house. My mother’s house is in a village where you can see acres of plain land for long distances. There it was far too cold rather than in my house in Kochi. As Kochi is the business hub of Kerala you could only see flats wherever you look. There by the temperatures at my mother’s house was quite low because of which I needed three blankets to cover me up while I was sleeping.
The main attraction of going to my mother’s house was the dog there. He was a German shepherd named Bruno. He was our dearest. We used to play with him, go for walks with him and he played a crucial role in whatever we did.On the day of our arrival, we saw a puppy in our court yard. We were quite surprised. When we asked grandpa who that pup belonged to, we got a most surprising answer that was the pup belonged to our own house. This surprised us and we asked our grandpa “Why do we need another dog while we have got Bruno” At this question our grandpa replied quite sorrowfully that Bruno had died a week ago due to age. Hearing this my heart stopped beating for sometime. Tears filled my sister’s eyes so as mine. I looked at the Kennel where Bruno used to be. It was all empty. To cheer us up grandpa said “That’s why I had bought this puppy. I don’t know what breed it is, yesterday one of the villagers sold it to me. I am sure you will take good care of it.” Those words dried our eyes. I had a good look at the new puppy. It starred into my eyes. That touched my heart. My sister took the pup in her arms and started playing with it. We felt much better.
The puppy was so young so it could only drink milk. So from time to time we enjoyed giving it milk. We were thinking of a good name for the puppy but we concluded in none. It would be nice if you could suggest a few nice names. In the evening we would sent it out in the courtyard and we used to play small games with it. Though both my sister and I enjoyed playing and taking care of the puppy, we truly missed Bruno.

Aww, so sad to hear of Bruno passing into Dog Heaven. He was a part of your family, so, of course, your heart aches.
Your new Puppy is adorable. He is a Golden Retriever, a wonderful family dog that will cherish you. They are a very sensitive, friendly breed, doing all they can to please you. They even smile.
My sister has had Goldens for years and I had one too. His name was Flash, so named for his speed chasing after the kids in play. Keep your pup awhile, a perfect name will match him or her. Have fun.

I am so sorry about your sweet Bruno. German Shepherds are one of my favorite kinds of dog. I am sure the puppy will bring you lots of smiles though!
I am so sorry to hear about Bruno. He was a beautiful dog. It is good that a new puppy has been brought in to ease the pain. You won't forget Bruno but no one can resist a puppy.
I agree with Dar, watch him and he will name himself.
Thank you for the visit and Happy New Year to you also! I know you are sad at loosing Bruno, but the new puppy is so very cute and cuddly.
