What does a woman want in her life? Her own house, a person with whom she can enjoy a cup of tea, a collection of plants, and a cute little dog. As I pondered over these desires, I decided to invite him to my house for tea, especially since it was raining and I longed for someone to sit beside me, listening to retro songs. We first met in a café while I was searching for a house in Bangalore. The rain was pouring heavily, prompting me to seek shelter in that random café with its warm yellow lights. I ordered a special tea with ginger and it was served with Good Day biscuits, which struck me as peculiar.

Drenched from the rain, my clothes clinging to me, I noticed a person sitting by the window, gazing out at the rain with a tinge of sadness. It seemed as though he either despised the rain or was eagerly awaiting someone—I couldn't be sure. Wanting to offer some solace, I ordered a tea for him. Placing my hand on his shoulder, I asked, "Are you okay?" After some initial resistance, he opened up about how his home felt like mere walls. I couldn't help but remind him that he was fortunate to have a place to live, whereas I had gotten soaked in the rain while searching for a house. Yet, there we were—him sitting and crying, and me comforting him over our shared sorrows, which seemed to dissolve into our cups of tea. We engaged in conversation until my clothes dried and the rain subsided. Thus, our weekend meetings became a regular occurrence until the day I finally found a house.

One weekend in August, as we met, I shared the news with him that I had found a lovely house with a balcony. Deep down, however, I felt a tinge of sadness, knowing that our café visits would come to an end. The iconic Good Day biscuits would be replaced by Marie Gold, and this house would take precedence over the person I had met in the café. But on that very day, I invited him over for a cup of tea at my new home. Despite being drenched, he made sure to tidy himself up before entering. The tea simmered on the gas stove, and the brown and pink tea cups were set out, ready to be filled. He sat alone on the couch, patiently waiting for me and the tea. It felt extraordinary. In that moment, I realized that a home is not defined by its walls but by the person who makes it feel like home. Suddenly, my house felt like a real home.

We didn't exchange many words, but instead savored our tea while the nostalgic melodies played in the background, speaking on our behalf. As he put on his shoes and headed towards the door, an intrusive thought crept into my mind. Despite not wanting to say it, I mustered the courage to bid him farewell. He reached the main gate of my apartment complex, where the rain was still pouring heavily. A surge of urgency rushed through me, compelling me to quickly make my way downstairs to the main gate. I halted him by calling out his name, "Dev!" Catching my breath, I confessed something that had driven me crazy for months: "Dev... I... want to say something... I know... this may sound a bit..." Unable to contain my emotions, I grabbed his face and kissed him. "I want to spend my life with you. Being with you feels like the rain in Bangalore. It brings magic and romance. I want to be with you in every season of your life and create a beautiful home. The sofas and couches in my room are just the beginning of making our house beautiful. Can you make it even more beautiful by being a part of my life? Can we share tea in every season? Can we paint our walls with love?" I wondered what I was about to say next, "Will you marry me?" As the rain stopped, he held my face, kissed me, and said, "I want to spend my life with you too."

Mix Puppy for Sale in India: A Guide to Finding the Perfect Mixed-Breed Companion

Looking for a mix puppy for sale in India? Mixed-breed dogs, often referred to as "mutts" or "desi dogs" in India, have become increasingly popular among pet lovers due to their unique combinations of traits, health advantages, and affectionate nature. Whether you're considering adopting or purchasing a mix puppy, this guide will provide all the information you need to find and care for your new four-legged friend.

Why Choose a Mixed-Breed Puppy?

Mixed-breed puppies are a wonderful choice for a variety of reasons. Here’s why a mixed-breed dog might be the perfect addition to your family:

Unique Appearance: Every mixed-breed dog is one of a kind, with a combination of traits inherited from both parents, making each puppy unique.

Healthier Genetics: Mixed-breed dogs tend to have fewer genetic health issues compared to purebreds, thanks to greater genetic diversity.

Adaptable Personalities: Mix puppies inherit traits from different breeds, often resulting in a balanced temperament. They can adapt to different environments and family setups.

Lower Cost: Mixed-breed puppies tend to be less expensive than purebred dogs and can often be found through adoption centers and animal shelters.

Companionship: Mixed-breed puppies are loyal, loving, and make fantastic companions, often blending the best qualities of different breeds.

Where to Find Mix Puppies for Sale in India

Finding a mix puppy for sale in India requires some research. You can find mixed-breed puppies from various sources, but it’s essential to prioritize responsible breeders, adoption shelters, and verified platforms.

1. Animal Shelters and Rescue Centers

One of the best ways to find a mix puppy in India is through local animal shelters and rescue organizations. Adopting from a shelter not only gives a puppy a second chance at life but also helps control the stray population in India.

Popular shelters and rescue organizations include:

Friendicoes (Delhi)

ResQ (Pune)

CUPA (Bangalore)

Blue Cross of India (Chennai)

The Welfare of Stray Dogs (Mumbai)

These organizations often have a wide variety of mixed-breed puppies looking for homes. Adoption fees are usually minimal and include vaccinations, deworming, and sometimes neutering/spaying.

2. Online Platforms

Many online pet adoption platforms and classified websites feature mixed-breed puppies for sale or adoption. Some of the most popular online resources include:

AdoptAPet.in

Quikr Pets

OLX Pets

DogsIndia

When using online platforms, it's crucial to verify the authenticity of the seller or adoption listing. Ask for photos, videos, and even live video calls to ensure the puppy’s condition and to confirm that the source is legitimate.

3. Pet Adoption Drives

Some cities in India frequently host pet adoption drives where local shelters showcase puppies, including mixed-breeds, looking for forever homes. Keep an eye on social media pages of animal welfare organizations for upcoming adoption events near you.

4. Pet Shops

Although pet shops typically focus on purebreds, some may occasionally have mixed-breed puppies for sale. However, buying from a pet store should be done with caution. Ensure the store follows ethical practices, doesn’t source from puppy mills, and provides health certifications for the puppies.

What to Look for When Buying or Adopting a Mix Puppy

Regardless of whether you buy or adopt, here are some essential things to consider when bringing home a mixed-breed puppy:

Health Check: Ensure the puppy has been vaccinated, dewormed, and checked by a vet. Responsible breeders and shelters will always provide health records.

Temperament: Observe the puppy’s temperament to ensure they are socialized and friendly. Mixed-breed puppies should be playful, curious, and comfortable around people.

Living Conditions: Whether from a shelter, breeder, or pet store, ensure the puppies are kept in clean, safe, and humane living conditions.

Adoption Policies: If adopting from a shelter, be aware of their adoption policies. Some shelters may require a home visit or ask about your family’s living conditions to ensure the puppy is going to a safe and loving home.

Ask About the Parent Breeds: If possible, ask for details about the puppy’s parent breeds. This can give you a better idea of the puppy's potential size, temperament, and health considerations.

Caring for a Mix Puppy

Once you’ve found your perfect mix puppy, it’s important to provide the right care to ensure they grow into a healthy, happy dog. Here’s how to care for your new furry friend:

1. Feeding

Feed your mix puppy a high-quality, balanced puppy food that meets their nutritional needs. Puppies require more frequent meals than adult dogs, so plan on feeding them 3-4 times a day. Always provide clean, fresh water.

2. Exercise

Mixed-breed puppies will have varying energy levels based on their genetic makeup, but all puppies need regular exercise. Make sure they have plenty of playtime and daily walks to keep them physically and mentally stimulated.

3. Training

Training should start early. Use positive reinforcement methods to teach your puppy basic commands, housebreaking, and socialization. Mixed-breed dogs are often intelligent and eager to please, making training easier with consistent effort.

4. Health Care

Schedule regular vet visits to monitor your puppy’s growth and overall health. Ensure they receive necessary vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, and regular deworming. Keep an eye out for any potential health issues common in their parent breeds.

5. Grooming

Grooming needs will vary depending on your puppy’s coat type, which is determined by the parent breeds. Regular brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning will keep your puppy looking and feeling great.

Cost of Mix Puppies in India

The cost of mix puppies in India varies based on location, the source of the puppy, and any associated health care or adoption fees. Here’s a breakdown of typical costs:

From Shelters/Rescue Centers: Adoption fees usually range from ₹1,000 to ₹5,000. These fees often cover vaccinations, deworming, and basic health care.

From Breeders or Online Listings: Depending on the parent breeds and location, mixed-breed puppies from breeders can cost anywhere between ₹5,000 to ₹15,000. Puppies that inherit traits from more popular breeds might be on the higher end of this range.

Conclusion

If you’re searching for a mix puppy for sale in India, you have a variety of options to choose from, including adopting from shelters, buying from breeders, or exploring online platforms. Mixed-breed dogs make loving, loyal companions, and they often benefit from better overall health and unique appearances. Whether you decide to buy or adopt, make sure you’re ready to provide a lifetime of care, love, and attention to your new puppy.

Why Should We Adopt Cats?

We love cats, no matter whether they are silly, regal, cranky, or adorable. Cats are the only reason we need to switch on our internet connection. That is the reason why cat videos are gaining skyrocketing popularity, and it is the best way to bring a smile to your face.

So we suggest you adopt one today. Here is a detailed discussion about how to adopt a cat and why.

You will save more than one life

When you adopt a cat from a shelter, you save two lives- the life of the kitty you adopt and make space for another abandoned kitten in the shelter. The ASPCA says that more than 3.2 million cats end up in American pet shelters annually, and about 1.6 million of them find new homes through adoption. That makes it clear that there are still many cute menaces who need a home forever.

So, while adopting cats, follow the adage 'the more the merrier' and consider adopting a bonded pair or two cats. That way, you will save more than one life, and your kitty will always have a playmate when you are not at home. However, before you proceed with a cat adoption, ask yourself am I ready to adopt a cat? 

Is adopting a cat a good idea?

Adopting a cat is actually a sound financial choice. When you get a cat for your home from one of the reputed cat adoption centers in Bangalore, the kitty is already neutered, sprayed, well-vaccinated, and microchipped. Some adoption shelters also include a bag of cat food, pet insurance, and even a collar and ID within the adoption fee. 

These will save you the upfront cost of adopting a new pet. When you get a cat from a breeder, you need to shoulder all the above expenses by yourself. If you adopt one from an adoption center, you might also save time on litter training.

Adopting an older cat: it’s personality is already known

In the majority of the majority of the adoption centers, there are many types of cats, from young to old, from long to short-haired, in all sizes and colors. If you have a specific cat breed in mind, you can check at cat-specific organizations to adopt your favorite companion. Interested ones can visit mrnmrspet.com.

Do not worry while adopting an older cat from a shelter, as they have spent their days with the volunteers, trainers, and behaviorists. Their personality is appropriately studied, and the findings will be shared with you in detail so that the cats don't create a mess when at your home.

Cats will keep you active

Most cats enjoy charging around the house and climbing up fences, trees, or scratching posts. To offer your adopted cat their needed space, you need to get out and plant a few trees or create a fence. So, in other words, cats will bring with them a host of health benefits for you.

Your cat will keep you young

Harvard says that keeping your mind active helps prevent cognitive decline and keeps you feeling youthful for longer. Cats adore playing, whether it's chasing a toy, searching for hidden things, or gently playing with your hand. These activities are mentally engaging for both you and your pet.

The cat will make your other pets happy

If there is already a cat at your home or you have a cat-loving dog, adopting a second cat from a shelter will help reduce the feeling of loneliness of the already existing pet in your house when you are away. However, before bringing in the second cat, ask the adoption center to help you 'cat test' your first pet. If you already own a cat and are planning a cat adoption in Bangalore, expect a period of adjustment before both cats feel comfortable together.

Cats are your best friend if you are an apartment dweller

An adopted cat can be your best companion if you are residing in an apartment or a small space like a condo. That is because your feline friend will only need a little space in your room. Also, cats do not need daily walks like dogs. Cats are usually low maintenance and will make excellent roommates with just some of the simplest of toys like window rest and cat trees.

Older cats are the perfect senior companions

Are you having older adults in your home, and are you looking for a companion for them? Look no further. Come to Mr n Mrs Pet today and adopt an older, calmer cat. Older cats are easy to take care of, and you will always find such a cat in a shelter. Choose the specific cat that will match perfectly with your lifestyle. The volunteers and staff of the shelter will help you in this regard.

Conclusion: 

Above are just a few points on why we should adopt cats. There are many more to this! To adopt a cat today, you can visit: mrnmrspet.com and adopt a pet without any hassle.

In this blog, we'll explore the top five reasons why Bengaluru ranks as the most pet-friendly city in India.

Abundant Green Spaces

One of the key factors that make Bengaluru stand out as a pet-friendly city is its abundance of green spaces.

These green spaces provide a perfect backdrop for pet owners to take their dogs for leisurely walks, play fetch, or simply enjoy the fresh air together. Many of these parks even have dedicated dog-friendly zones, complete with waste disposal facilities and seating areas for pet owners. This commitment to providing pet-friendly recreational areas makes Bengaluru an ideal place for both pets and their owners to enjoy the outdoors.

Apex Legends and their dogs

(because I love apex and I love dogs and I wish to make a series of pictures, feel free to add your ideas)

Bangalore: definitely a kind of working and obedient dog, well trained but won't listen to anyone but her, so be prepared to be politely ignored; isn't fond of pets from strangers either - doberman, rottweiler, australian cattle dog

Bloodhound: seems absolutely wild and will avoid any contact but somehow has established a bond with them exclusively - wolfhound, karelian bear dog, wolf spitz

Caustic: something small and vicious, unsupervised and will bite your ankles, spoiled little brat, you may manage to befriend it but it always forgets your existence till the next visit, ah shit, here we go again - chihuahua, pinscher, papillon

Gibraltar: small but cute, shows its belly a lot, will bounce awkwardly making everyone laugh but not for long, cause it's a lazy bastard - west highland white terrier, welsh corgi

Lifeline: big clumsy and loves everyone, unaware of its size, will climb on you and sit on your lap, lotsa wet kisses, invited or not - harlequin great dane, dogo argentino

Mirage: probably an old chap who is very cheerful but also lacks energy to jump around so it mostly sleeps by his feet; he rescues old dogs from shelters and gives them home for the last years of their lifes

Octane: gotta go fast! the most energetic ball of fluff you've ever seen, jumps around and barks a lot, super friendly but pls play, pls throw the ball, no take, just throw, who has time for pets while you gotta run? - jack russel terrier, whippet, weimaraner

Pathfinder: smart dog that will lead him out of trouble, probably kicked out of the guide dog school cause was a bit too clingy towards people - poodle, australian shepherd

Wraith: dark and scary, comes across as murder dog but in fact it just wants cuddles, ear scratches and your company - black german shepherd, beauceron

Tolerating Intolerance

A few years back, I interned at a design studio in Bombay. It was a long commute and my grandfather (who is a bit of a wizard when it comes to transport systems in Bombay and its geography in general) told me exactly which buses I might take and where I would change them. It was almost strange how excited I was. Mostly because this was most unlike the Bangalore buses–always on time, you had to enter from the back and disembark from the front and no one ever had to fight for a 'ladies’ seat’. I carried my iPod, but never really used it because the early morning bustle of this place was fascinating.

As the days passed, what was new and exciting started becoming familiar and I looked forward to routine. Everyday I met my dogs near the bus stand. They needed no feeding, but I fed them anyway. Everyday I saw this attractive woman get into the bus, immaculately dressed. As soon as she was at her stop she did this little jig where she smoothly got out of her flats and into her heels and before the bus left the stop, she was already on her way to her office (presumably). What I loved most, was seeing the vastis. At the same time and place everyday I saw the same things–the brushing man, the clothes drying lady, the shouting lady (she was always just angry), the always doing her hair lady and blended beautifully into this scenario were the dogs and cats generously peppered amidst their humans. I started to notice that all the animals near every little tea stall and pan wala and in the vastis, all seemed to be surprisingly healthy (the rats are always especially heathy in Bombay :/). I wondered, in an admiring sort of way, how people who had so little parted with what they had to feed another or nourish something other than themselves. I don’t think I thought about it deeply, but it was heartwarming.

One day towards the end of my time there, I didn’t find my bus stop dogs. As my commute continued, I noticed that many of the familiar huts/temporary shelters and the familiar activities and faces within them were gone. The dogs/animals were gone too. I saw this at quite a few places and it was a dry sort of commute. When I got off to change my bus, we were told to stay glued to our spots because a prominent politician had to make their way to the airport. Everyone was visibly upset and there was a sort of uproar. I realised that some one had decided to ‘clean' the place up because a certain ‘VIP’ was to come.

So this is our idea of ‘cleaning’ up? To shove the beings we perceive as not adhering to our image right under the rug?

Over the next few days I saw some people return and some dogs returned too. A lot of them didn’t. I think when you encounter ghastly-ness that you haven’t before, your response is perhaps naive–‘how could they?!’. At this point people who’ve seen it a lot more will tell you that this is just ‘how it is’. With time your outrage and sadness will give way to apathy and you will perhaps turn to someone naive and younger and tell them that ‘this, is just how it is’.

Except the only thing that this does, I have come to realise today, is that instead of actually cultivating tolerance or any kind of comprehension, it seems to create a tolerance for intolerance. A complete disdain and intolerance for anything that does not conform to our idea of ‘normal’ (god only knows what that is) or anything that may go against an image we’ve so painstakingly created in our head of what our reality should constitute.

I should perhaps provide context here. Yesterday some dogs that dwelled in our society, some of which we loved and fed, were simple picked up in the early hours of the morning. A confrontation with the society ensued and the hostility was through the roof. We were part heartbroken and part angered. At one point we were told that dogs didn’t ‘look good’ in a society like this one. It took me back to my memory in Bombay. How absolutely willing we are to want to do away with everything that doesn’t suit us or ‘fit'. It is only when you face hostility or are made to feel like an alien or a minority do you come to realise what scores of people in this country go through everyday. Possibly still fighting for everything that is already their right.

So many times when people hear some of us asking to leave grains/food/water out for animals, we’re met with, “when humans don’t have water how can you think of animals?” But really why shouldn’t I? I’m not endorsing one over the other and neither am I suggesting an unequal distribution of resources. It has however, made me wonder why we feel such a sense of entitlement. Over every little thing. I wish that anything that had the ability to feel hunger or pain, never had to feel it.

While looking up laws that prevent cruelty to animals, especially street animals (the recent ones are shockingly well drafted) I came across a little bit in our constitution about our country being one of ahimsa and of compassion to all living beings. I’m still unsure why, but it touched me deeply. Maybe there's comfort in the written word or someone way wiser than you endorsing what you’ve thought.

All of this just is just a ghastly reminder of where we are and who we are.

We’re a humourless society waiting in the wings to be offended by something. Anything. Don’t laugh, it’s offensive to… someone. We’re insecure beyond belief so we must have people wear their flag on their sleeve, except wait, you actually can’t. We have divided the country up into Nationals and Anti-Nationals. No one knows what it means, except that if you disagree with me about how this country should be, you’re anti-national. We’re hoarse from crying about being discriminated against or marginalised and when we take a break from all the crying we’re happy to perpetuate the same on someone else. Only when ‘we’ do it, it can’t be discrimination. We discuss matters and have the most mind numbingly shallow ‘debates' in our incestuous little circles where everyone of course, agrees. A different point of view is of course, offensive (back to point one). At best, we cannot fathom the thought of being compassionate to someone or something that does not serve a purpose (in our scheme of things) and at worst, we’re a bottomless pit of how far we’re willing to stoop. The fact that we have to dub someone a ‘minority’ is bad enough, but everyday we vow to be our patronising selves and make sure we let them know that we’re ‘letting’ them live peacefully (this applies to gender, religion, politics and across specie). I could go on and on, but I’m sure the list of people being offended is fast multiplying (Don’t laugh, remember?). 

I remember learning about fractals–'each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole.’ Our ugliness as a race is probably a metaphorical fractal. I have loved this country for its mess, of its ingenuity, for its warmth, for its impatience and even for its ability to deal with complete squalor, but today I have come to realise that the only thing we’re really doing is perfecting the art of being tolerant … of intolerance. Because that’s ‘just how it is’.

Dogs in the sewer

One of the many dogs near my house who have started living in the sewer.

I was very uneasy about the thumps I heard coming from the sewer until this one jumped out and went about his daily routine.
