2Toes is a black female english cocker spaniel. Her full name at registration is 2Toes Adora and yes we add Vaz at the end as she is so much part of the family. She was born to Cherry & Mango on 29th April 2005 in Mumbai, India in the home of Dr. Srinivasan. I saw her for the first time on 16th June '05 as a little pup about just half a foot in length. She was in a huddle with her sisters and brother on a sack. I remember that on the day she chose me not the other way round. Cause when I called out to the lot ...she came wobbling on her unsteady legs straight to me while the others wandered around.
While I acquainted myself with the whole family she chewed on the hem of my denims and played with my shoe lace and then as though to say "you are mine" she nestled her head on my shoe and fell asleep.
I had made my choice or actually she had made hers... though she lacked the sheen that was on the fur of her siblings, or that she seemed the least active of the lot did not matter. As i left with her cradled like a baby in my arms, her mute caretaker communicated through Dr. Srinivasan that I had picked the most intelligent of the lot. Almost 4 years now since she became family and I believe the caretaker was right about her. Intelligence is something 2Toes has displayed right as a pup and continues to amaze us with.
Her comin home was like the arrival of new born baby. I dashed off with by good buddy Cecil to buy baby foods and toys while my mother and she bonded. We had visitors regularly dropping in to see the new addition. And yes, she loved the attention. She was the Baby of the the house (and still is ) :-)
