About love, pets and friendship

Maya and a uncle's dog

My first and only pet it's a Schnauzer called Maya, she is 13 years old and her pelage is grayish. My grandmothers gave it to me when I was 6 years old, I was so excited because every Christmas I asked to my parents but at that time they didn't have much money, so my maternal grandmother go to a animal shelter to look for a puppy and my paternal grandmother buy the puppy's food and a dog collar, that Christmas they traveled to Santiago to give me the most beautiful present.

She is so restless and playful, when my father took the strap to take it out fro a walk she ran through all the apartment of emotion. Every summer we traveled to Arica to see all my family: grandparents, grandmothers, cousins, uncles, aunts, etc and obviously we have to take she with us. When we travel to Arica we stay at the house of my maternal grandparents, she had a lot of fun in my grandparents' house, because my grandmother also have a pet a German shepherd called Tania, both played all day around the house.

One summer my parents decide to leave Maya in my grandparent's house because in there she had more space to play and whit whom to play, I left very sad from my grandparent's house but I knew it was the best for Maya. I miss her every day and even more now.

I love pets because they understand you in a way that sometimes the human cannot and also they know when you more need his love.

The magic of the words

Personally I'm not a good reader, most of the books I were by the school some of them I liked, like: "Mi planta de naranja y lima", "Cuentos de Eva Luna", "Pride and Prejuice", etc. In my last year of school, the teacher of language brought a box full of books, she gave us each one, we had to read it in three weeks and had to do a powerpoint of it. The book that she gave me was: "La tregua" written by Mario Benedetti.

I really love that book, and I think that thanks to this book now I like to read, the story is about Martin Santomé a widower of 49 years old who is close to retirement, he hate his job, his monotonous life and also he had three childrens: Blanca, Jaime and Esteban and he doesn't have a good relationship with them cause job. One day he meet a beautiful young woman in the work, her name is: Laura Avellaneda, Martin feels something for her and little by little she too.

Martin start to like his life now with Laura so much that one day he plans to propose marriage to her, but she doesn't show up to work, he calls to her house and tell him that Laura is sick... I won't count more to not ruin the end. lol

I really recommend this book because it's not so long and it's quick to read, his very realistic, maybe some feel identified and it has an ending that leaves you mixed fellings.
