A Privileged, Responsible, Loyal And Devoted Companion

“I am royalty around here”

A gorgeous photo of both Mehak and her lovely companion, Cherry.

Background

My friend, Mehak Adlakha, has shared some wonderful stories over time about her lovely companion, Cherry. As I got to know more about this beautiful dog, it was only a matter of time before we had a chat!

Thank you Mehak, for sharing your beautiful girl with us all.

Cherry

Since I was a puppy, I have known the love and friendship of Mehak and her family. I felt very welcomed and it soon become obvious that I was to be spoiled a lot.

I feel a privileged and responsible dog. Responsible because I must return their love with loyalty and devotion and I feel I’m doing that the best I know how.

I can sometimes get under foot because I am so eager to be included and a part of everything that happens in the household. There is time for sleeping when it happens but if something is up right now then I’m all in for that!

So, it’s not long been my birthday it appears. Dogs don’t take much heed to these events generally. Time holds little meaning from one day to the next. I think parties are for the people involved although it is very nice to be acknowledged as someone special.

I think a birthday is a simple marking of an event that happened and not to be fussed over too much. I was disappointed that my cake couldn’t be eaten by everyone but rather a bit of a waste when it was all said and done. I would prefer to walk the neighbourhood and find a scent trail to friendships and intrigue than to pose and be preened over.

It’s a little boring to have to pose and smile and be a ‘good dog’ for the camera.

(Big sigh). It can’t be helped though I suppose. I am royalty, around here at least. What can I expect?

There is change in the air, I can smell it. Mehak is making plans to move us elsewhere and I’m a little curious and intrigued where we’ll be going. I don’t imagine she would ever leave me behind, so I’m making the assumption we’re going together like peas in a pod.

I will have to share her with a new love and as long as I am respected in the journey I think it will work out ok. I’m a loving puppy with a big heart for most people.

I would wander if I got the chance to though and I should be kept close for my own good. I’m not great with my sense of direction and know I could become easily lost on my own. It’s a bit embarrassing for a dog to admit.

I like my lead for this reason. I can wander and roam with the reassurance that Mehak has my back and we will arrive safely home again. We don’t walk enough though. It would do us both good to get out a bit more in my opinion.

It is what it is though and we have to digest life in simple moments without expecting grandiose plans to play out exactly as we dream them.

I don’t think there is much to add to all this. I have a calm and contented life and we’re very fond of each other. We are mutually compatible and I am so glad to have a family that cares about me.

I found my forever home and that’s the cherry on top of a good life!

Feedback

Mehak gave me some heartwarming feedback which I have edited for brevity. I have no doubt that Cherry is loved and will be explicitly cared for as Mehak makes wonderful changes in her life going into 2025.

First of all, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this beautiful reading. I’m so emotional right now because I can so clearly imagine Cherry saying all these things. You’ve captured her spirit, her personality, and her little quirks so perfectly, and it’s honestly incredible. How you could connect with her so deeply, even from a distance, leaves me speechless.

I want to share this beautiful moment with others and show just how special this connection is. You’ve given me something I’ll treasure forever, and I’m so grateful for that. Your ability to tune into Cherry’s thoughts and emotions is truly a gift.

Cherry is definitely spoiled, as you so kindly put it, but more than that, she is a very responsible member of our family. She’s so well-behaved and gentle, never biting or barking at strangers. Except for lizards — she barks at them for some reason! It’s one of the many things that makes her so adorable.

As you talked about us moving, I’m making plans to bring her to live with me in March, after my honeymoon is over. I hope she’ll love the new home and the new people around her. But above all, I want what’s best for her. If she doesn’t feel comfortable, I will send her back to my parents because it is already a place where she feels at home. I’ll always prioritize what Cherry likes. I’m relieved to know that she already loves my fiancé, so I’m hopeful she’ll choose to stay with me.

And yes, you’re right about the walks — we both definitely need to get out more! I feel guilty about not being able to spend enough time with her outdoors. Life has been hectic, but I’m committed to making changes and spending more time with my sweet Cherry.

Once again, Heather, I’m just so amazed by your accuracy in understanding Cherry. You have an extraordinary gift, and I feel so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you so much for doing this for us. I will cherish this reading forever.
