Chapter 89--- my dog and me



It was around 10 o clock when arnav and khushi got up from bed, after another one of their love making encounters and some snoozing they finally decided to get up and start the day, as khushi made her way to the kitchen, arnav wore his purple sweat shirt and jeans and headed off to naina’s room, as he entered, he opened the curtains she was still in bed, the sunlight came shining in and he turned to look at his darling daughter who was cuddled up in the blanket, he smiled and then sat on the bed and caressed her face, as he did that he felt some movement, and shifted the blanket and to his surprise he saw dim sum was underneath the blanket and naina was cuddling him, he smirked and picked dim sum up and said
Arnav: what are you doing here (he placed him on the floor, and dim sum looked back at him innocently)
Arnav continued to wake naina up and as she felt her fathers, strong hands on her face she smiled and said
Naina: good morning daddy (she got up and sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes )
Arnav: hi princess what was dim sum doing in your bed
Naina: (in a sleepy voice replied) oh daddy, he was lonely in his basket and so I brought him on my bed,
Arnav shrugged and then said
Arnav: ok fine, come on down mom’s made some waffles for you, and bring dim sum too, he needs breakfast,
Naina smiled at her father and then jumped of her bed, dim sum barked and naina said
Naina: come on dim sum, come lets go down come (she called out in a baby voice, and dim sum gave a cute puppy bark)
The three of them went down to the kitchen where khushi was making breakfast, naina came and placed dim sums  bowl out and then khushi helped her pour some dog food in the bowl, she poured some water as well, and then naina sat on the table and enjoyed her waffles and maple syrup while arnav sipped his coffee,
After breakfast both naina and dim sum went out in the garden to play catch with some toys, naina threw the ball and dim sum ran to catch it, she would squeal in delight when he would retrieve the ball back to her, arnav and khushi watched them and were happy, seeing their daughter so happy, khushi said
Khushi: its been only a day since you bought him home and she and he have become inspirable
Arnav : (chuckled) I am glad that she is happy, it was worth it all I wanted was this million dollar smile of hers
Khushi smiled back at him feeling happy, they continued to watch naina and dim sum play with each other, the whole day pasted by like this, and now it was 7 pm, and it was time for them to come in, and both of them were so dirty because they played in the mud all day, as soon as naina came in, khushi said
Khushi: omg you two are so dirty and messy, you need a bath,
Naina: ok mom (she was about to run when khushi stopped her)
Khushi: not so fast, naina dim sum is your puppy, so after you have a bath, you need to make sure that he has a bath too, this is your responsibility
Naina: ok mom, but dim sum doesn’t know how to have a bath (she said innocently)
Khushi: (smiled back at her and said) yes I know sweet heart, that’s why you have to give him a bath, every week it is your responsibility to give him a bath, today I will help you and show you how to do it, and then tomorrow on wards its you job
Naina smiled and agreed, she went up to have a bath, mean while khushi got out the wooden tub and filled it with water, naina came running down, then khushi thought her how to take care of dim sum
Khushi: (picked dim sum up and placed him in the tub) see you have to put him in the tub like this
Naina: ok (she said as she saw dim sum squirm she said) but mom, dim sum doesn’t like it,
Khushi: all dogs don’t like this sweetie but they have to be clean, and it is our job to make sure of that, even if they don’t like it, other wise they can fall sick
Naina: (worried) I don’t want dim sum to fall sick
Khushi: then you have to make sure you give him a bath at least once or twice a week
Naina nodded and paid attention as khushi explained she then saw khushi remove dim sum and apply some soap over his body, as she rubbed the soap it created lather, then she placed him back into the tub and then removed the soap and dim sum was nice and clean, naina squealed in excitement again
Naina: wow dim sum is nice and sparkly again
Khushi smiled at her, and said
Khushi: yes, he is, but now we have to dry him, or else he will catch a cold, come on put on the hair dryer and bring the towel
Naina did as her mother told her too, and then they began to dry dim sum, once that was all done she and dim sum went running to arnav to tell him the news
Arnav was in the study finishing off some of his work, when naina entered and dim sum ran behind her, she reached his desk and then said
Naina: daddy, look, look
Arnav looked at her and wondered what she was happened
Naina: daddy, I gave dim sum a bath, mom thought me how to do it, doesn’t he look nice and shinny
Arnav: (smiled at his daughter and her antics he picked her up and placed her on his lap and then said) wow princess that’s nice (he kissed her cheeks)
Khushi came in to tell them that dinner was served, and then they went to have a nice cozy meal in their living room,
Once they had dinner naina headed to her room, she was watching cartoons with dim sum when she didn’t realize that she had fallen asleep, dim sum also went to sleep with her on the bed, arnav walked in at his usual time to check on her and found her asleep, he smiled and shut the tv and then placed a kiss on her fore head, he again found dim sum on her bed, he was going to pick him up and put him the basket when he saw naina had fastened her arms around his body, not having the heart to keep him away from her, he let them both sleep together, and went away to khushi
Arnav entered his room and came to his wife as he cuddled in her arms they lazily spoke to each other and then arnav said
Arnav: khush may be we should see di tomorrow, after all tomorrow is her last day to decided on what she wants to do,
Khushi: ya arnav that’s a great idea, its best you talk to her and see what she wants I hope she doesn’t make a haste decision
Arnav: tomorrow is Sunday, I’ll tell nani that we will come over for lunch and then at the right time I will ask di
Khushi agreed,
