Champi the stray belonging to the Sugarcane juicewala on the Cooperage side of the Oval Maidan at Churchgate passed away yesterday early in the morning. She was in kidney failure with a creatinine of 5.1. She was sixteen.
Some days ago the sugarcane juicewala's son called to tell us that she had not been eating for some days. She was taken to the WSD kennels and with treatment had started eating. One good thing was till the end she ate and used to wag her brindle tail when she saw me.
Her presence will truly be missed and if you passed her footpath when she was alive, you would have hardly noticed her as she would be quietly sitting under the tree by the side of the foot path.
One consolation is that Champi lived a good and long life on the street. She was looked after well by the sugarcane juicewala.

Poor thing. Nice of the sugarcane walla to look afer her though. Isn't there a black and white dog on the other side of the Oval who is also looked after by a sugarcane walla? I remember when we used to take Whisky to the Oval - long ago - this little dog used to play with him.
yes , sad. The other dog which played with Whisky is Julie.. She too has an amazing story. Will write about her sometime. She is still around and everybody's darling.Have taken some nice pictures of her with a Oval Maidan backdrop.
