never closer to a (my?) Dog.
Moving mentioned in the previous article included a paragraph complicated, within all the changes complicated points usually come, but in this case was a complicated point that at first glance seemed easy, and it was not. In order not to digress and mention it to end the mass "? reader of this corner, the fact is that you had to care for and transport a dog, and someone had to examine it.
Of course, in the tradition of participation and charming that my parents have grown with me all my life, my father entrusted the task to me.
But we started well, it is the only dog \u200b\u200bfor which my acquaintance (for my close) canofobia not affect me. If anyone has ever seen me play, petting, or talking kindly to a dog, it's him.
In fact, supposedly, or at least at first, the dog was mine ...
Why would I, who have never been given to the animals, have a dog? Memory fails me, but really, in my rambling incomplete records, I conclude that someone, "someone" must have looked bad in those lonely years and thought that a pet, it has since forced me to abandon a of my favorite games (that is, to dirt roads and villages of stone in the yard where they lived at the time my paternal grandparents), I would do well. By the way, provide some resources and would deliver a puppy to a old friend.
But things began to come out in unexpected ways from the time it was very clear that my little hobbit hole was not prepared either to receive a couple of tastings, let alone a dog. From there the pet ended with my grandparents. And Providence can do things: in the end I needed it most. Although since then not stop reminding me every so often my irresponsibility as "father" of the canine, which I prepared to read a complete encyclopedia of dogs, it was useless, because their real masters, my grandparents, following their academic and processed methods of raising pets, home raised as a dog either, for amazement of the experts.
Over the years, and already has had enough, has been a faithful companion and annoying, insatiable in their hunger and their want to play, just needs to talk, and even their flaws (which I will not mention publicly, also deserves dignity , right? You can still have dignity virtual who does.) earned the affection of all. Mine included, what is already an achievement on his part.
So today I had to look after him and take him to his new home.
When I was scared. At times shaking, assume that your instincts made him think in your mind of can that would be left in that place that no longer seemed known, where even the barking sounded weird. He refused at one point even to eat pieces of bread, which spoke of the shock I had. I do that in many years I never dared to even out the corner, they first walk through the courtyard to calm him, and then take to the streets, looking for trees as it travels last trod the paths only go to haircut. I did what ever: hug. Do I have softened the mood with pets? I think not, but this is already the family, and when you feel like something or someone, do those things. It's like what happens when you become a fan of a team guy, you feel like your uncle, your cousin, even your brother why you suffer, get angry (I have witnesses: the mayor of Isla de Maipo, hahaha), cry and laugh with him.
When the time came time to leave most difficult mission: to ensure that the dog not eggs the driver on the long journey that eventually took only half an hour. Surprisingly, and in keeping with the spirit that took place during the day, the dog behaved. In what may be asked a scared pet, taken on a leash, and embraced by an inexperienced young man, of course. But he did well. At times even turned to look at the landscape, and tunnels, as well as those people who have never seen a road, his head down and refused to look.
Arrived a su nuevo hogar, no demoró en acostumbrarse, retomar el hambre y la sed, y en reconocer su nueva casa; pues ya no dormitará bajo una "mejora" de población callampa canina (pues su "hogar invernal" era un toldo tendido entre pared y sillas, cerrado con cajas, y unas mantas): ahora lucirá con estilo una casa de plástico donde he pensado que le cabría muy bien una de esas viejas TV de 5' en blanco y negro. (Pero mantendrá sus viejas mantas)
Es raro que tenga ganas de hablar de un perro, del único perro vivo al que le tengo real cariño (hay algunos pocos a los que les tengo simpatía, después de años de mi fatídico trauma, se me ha abierto un poco la mente), pero creo que it deserves and I deserve it so special I am after work.
could also talk about how I took one for almost a whole afternoon of seven cats, but truth be told, one broke a vase, another swallowed so much food that eventually return, and the truth is a bit reluctant to take care of them, is not exactly the same as with dogs. (And anyway, I've grown accustomed same) So in cats, the words are in another time.

A change. What a change! Travel
For 20 of my 20 years of life I had some good fortune (for real, not relative) that what I consider "my family" that is, my extended family (including grandparents and some aunts and cousin) lives near where I live (or, in the early days, living in the same place most of them). That will surely frighten the most independent, for me, strangely, has never been something to fear, but on the contrary, something nice, I must say, gives me confidence.
Moreover, having to move out of home when you're about 70 years and really want to live with the least amount of problems and changes (though it is very difficult in these times of world) is possible, at least, disconcerting .
happens that my paternal grandparents house changed, and if While the fact was more announced, the fastest way that things are going it is still surprising. And there are things you know they should pass, that are necessary, sometimes desirable, and yet one has the strange hope that time never believe will lead us to them, they are there only on paper, which not be specific. Things like death, like life without school pass, and your football team is gone.
Faced with this strange reality, and the remoteness of the change say it is not exactly Maipú closest thing (although I'm still young, or I think, but what I'm saying is that I can tolerate more good than bad 3 hours Travel by bus ... Moreover, Transantiago generally well behaved with me, I'm a rare breed), I must admit I'm not exactly his most impact the change of course. But come. Arrives and must conclude that they will not have card games or pet dog five minutes away, which on rainy days like this will be much more difficult to make the buns and homemade bread that my grandparents often do, when to take micro ago in Bandera wait no longer my grandfather comes up to the 202.
However, we must also think that is an instance which will involve making good things about her. The distance in human relationships is not necessarily a synonym for loss or damage. Distance relationships between people puts us face a dilemma: to consider useless and lost the fight, or to show the value of those, and not just show it, but to prove it ... Of course, that implies an effort sometimes seems considerable. But the dilemma is not a forced choice for an option, but that puts them into one's hands. And I already know what choice I make in this case.
Some things changed necessarily. Not bad. It is not easy.

Will Ginger Ale Stop Throat Burn
you.
I looked with surprise
and you laughed while
rush to remove the seats, all that
when we saw the bus
was ideal for us because
had 28 seats, not 50.
twenty-eight: you and me.
We brought three bags in each hand
with imagination and what is not
with the ephemeral and the perennial,
loaded bags as
adults are not, such as grandparents
we want to be, as
fools who do not reject any;
all cast aside between our feet and our tiredness
happy.
But only you and I slept.
You, that with all the naturalness of the world,
with all the naturalness of your madness,
intended to bring you a soda at that hour, and
not rest until the day
bars that sell tea, and has
shakes at every corner.
You slept when I wanted to read.
Until I realized that traveling with you.
travel with you while you slept in my arms
is numb.
and traveled as far
that cooled me legs that were moving
less head,
and I pulled the scarf, and I
me up the neck, because outside the fog
threatened to eat
to anyone who crossed off guard.
Same she
brings memories of the place they've never seen
led me to wake me in my lonely
and you in your deep sleep, the two united
not to lose his arms
in our journey of silence where they spoke
words and those
and said they wanted
and to be told that merged into a single
quiet: that I look at you and your thinking. Travel
you.
journey with you.
After traveling and before moving on. Travel
you in your quiet,
in which you want, where I brought in my bag,
without knowing that he had done.
After you travel behind me,
me that let me run like sometimes
by green hills while
chase me while I travel and shot me in the grass
and I roll silently laughing
without anyone knowing
as my father laughed when I threw
guardaabajo the Parque Los Reyes.
