HOW DID YOU THINK OF HAVING A PET IN YOUR LIFE? IS GOHAAN YOUR FIRST PET? WHEN DID HE COME INTO YOUR LIFE?
Yes, Gohaan is our very first pet. We are first-time Doggo owners, and it is quite an experience! First, I would like to say that awareness on pet parenting is very important and we learnt it as we raised Gohaan; it would have been so much easier if we had correct guidance on this matter. As first-time pet parents, we didn't know that it's just like raising a human baby and the only difference would be that human babies grow up.
My husband and I were always fond of dogs; as soon as we got married, first thing in our bucket list was to own a pet Doggo. My husband is in the Indian Armed Forces, so he was deployed to a certain place in just a month after our marriage – that's when Gohaan came into our lives. It was the best phase of our lives as the puppy Gohaan would just eat, play, poop, and sleep.
'GOHAAN' IS AN INTERESTING NAME! HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS NAME?
Our family is a hardcore Dragon Ball Z fan (it's a Japanese Anime) and the main protagonist's son is named Gohaan. Also, Gohaan in Japanese means 'food', which pretty much defines his personality. He loves Food like a true golden retriever.
THIS YEAR HAS BEEN A TOUGH EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF US, LOCKED UP IN OUR HOMES. HOW HAS BEEN YOUR LOCKDOWN EXPERIENCE WITH GOHAAN.
For us, lockdown isn't quite different from ordinary times, since usually we get posted to rural parts of India where the nearest city is also 25– 30kms away. So we are quite used to living in this way; like a true fauji, Gohaan is also accustomed to our lifestyle.
