Guccilets the story begins

Couple of Gucci’s babies have dropped in since we opened the store, and it truly is a blessing to get to spend some time with them. Gucci, has always been my sweetheart, charming li’l devil, with unparalleled devotion and when she had her litter, it was chaos. Gucci always has known how to make people feel special; she delivered her litter on the birthday of a li’l girl who’d been waiting for ages for a pup. That possibly might be one of those birthdays one would never forget.


People who’ve met Gucci are aware she’s no ordinary pet, and her pups turned out to be real special darlings. This blog will aim to update about them and introduce you to them, so that you too can fall in love with them. Of the Guccilets the one we kept was Baron. Princess was my favourite for she was the most gentle of them all and the li’l sweetheart would actually wake up her siblings for the feed time, and all of them in their haste for nourishment would end up climbing over her and muscling her out still this darling would never go for feed without her siblings. She’d keep walking around like industrious chicken, fretting and fussing over her siblings, she was my favourite but Princess was promised to people really special so we knew we’d have to pick ours from the remaining 7. We wanted to keep a girl, the naughtiest one preferably, in our desire to do so we selected this li’l darling whom we called ‘Rastapopoulos’ named after the infamous character from Tintin comics.


She was real special for she was the only one who’d demand our attention. During the feed time you’d have to have complete attention and focus on her otherwise she’ll not have her food. Let your mind wander, and this imp would stop her feed, plus you had to burp her real long too. Once they were off the formula milk, we’d have to settle her on our lap and hand feed her, all the while she’d keep checking up to see if you were looking at her, God forbid her catching you whilst looking elsewhere, that’s it! She’d quit her food and stomp away angrily. Every pup was enchanting and endearing in different ways but her Diva like attitude made sure we had her attention. Whilst we’d finalised her as the pup we’d keep back, the kid whose birthday it was wanted the girl with the ‘most brown face’, which was our ‘Rastapopoulos’! Suddenly we were in a quandary as to what to do….. Bhai even went to the extent of telling that all pups would eventually have a brown face, we can’t let her go. I knew then for sure she’d captured his heart, Bhai would never refuse a child anything but if he felt so strongly I could understand, she meant the world to him.


Even now when this darling comes visiting, he’ll look after her in every way, they are inseparable. However, while we were struggling to decide what to do, things worked out when Baron fell ill. The vet said this thug wasn’t just unwell, what he’d had could probably clear up in 3 months time with meds and special diet or may end up being a lifelong condition requiring constant care and control over diet. The moment we heard it we decided to keep him, for we felt another person may not be able to forge the same kind of bond that we had, thereby being unable to understand his needs or his problems. We knew for sure no one could care for him the way we would, and having his mom around would help in his healing process. Thankfully, we were blessed as usual and his condition cleared up with 3 months of intensive diet and meds, and so Baron entered our lives…………. The saga shall continue with introduction of each pup…..
