Hello friends, I am sorry I haven't been in touch. One of my dogs is very ill. It's been going on since June but lately his blood tests were even worse. The vets don't know why he is ill. The good thing is that if he is on meds he doesn't feel unwell. So I am fully aware that one day I might wake up to find him gone. And I am at peace with this because I have given him the best life I have been able to. Maybe not perfect, but I have done my best. Taking into consideration that he was an "unadoptable" dog due to his aggressive tendencies and bite history, he has had 6 years full of love, peace, respect and 0 hostility with us. I have managed to satisfy his needs as a family dog and as a livestock guardian working dog. And I have loved him, love him, and will love him infinitely forever. Sometimes the universe gives you a surprise because the love of your life is a dog instead of a human being. And this is our case. But anyway, all this got me thinking, now I know that any of our walks could be the last one, what I am doing differently? What would you do differently if it was your last walk together? I will give you my answer when I read yours. See if we think the same. Thank you for reading, walking this path and sharing your thoughts with me 🩷🌷🙏🏻 🇪🇸Hola amigos, siento no haber estado en contacto. Uno de mis perros está muy enfermo. Esto viene desde junio, pero últimamente sus análisis de sangre han empeorado. Los veterinarios no saben por qué está enfermo. Lo bueno es que, mientras está con medicación, él no se siente mal. Así que soy plenamente consciente de que un día puedo despertarme y encontrar que se ha ido. Y estoy en paz con esto porque le he dado la mejor vida que he podido. Quizá no perfecta, pero he hecho todo lo que ha estado en mis manos. Teniendo en cuenta que era un perro “inadoptable” por sus tendencias agresivas y su historial de mordidas, ha tenido 6 años llenos de amor, paz, respeto y 0 hostilidad con nosotros. He conseguido satisfacer sus necesidades como perro de familia y como perro de trabajo guardián de ganado.

Do you know what my favourite activity to share with my dogs is? 👉🏻 Doing nothing. Because when I do nothing — when I have no goals, when time or distance don’t matter — that’s when I truly enjoy life: We watch the sun rise, feel its warmth on our faces, touch the cool damp earth after the night, enjoy each other’s company, listen to nature and its non-human inhabitants, be grateful for sharing this beautiful moment together, breathe slowly and deeply, smell the countryside… just be present. Being present, grounded, and emotionally regulated is living. At least for me, someone who has carried such an agitated inner (and outer) life for so long. I had to hit rock bottom to learn this. And now I am grateful 🙏🏻🩷🌷 What are your thoughts? What do you enjoy doing? Maybe you find joy in a totally different way! I would love to hear your opinion ¿Sabes cuál es mi actividad favorita para compartir con mis perros? 👉🏻 No hacer nada. Porque cuando no haces nada — cuando no tienes un objetivo, cuando el tiempo o la distancia no importan — es cuando realmente disfruto de la vida: Vemos salir el sol, sentimos su calor en la cara, tocamos la tierra fresca y húmeda después de la noche, disfrutamos de nuestra compañía, escuchamos a la naturaleza y a sus habitantes no humanos, damos gracias por compartir este momento tan hermoso, respiramos lento y profundo, olemos el campo… simplemente estamos presentes. Estar presentes, conectados y regulados emocionalmente es vivir. Al menos para mí, alguien que ha llevado una vida interior (y exterior) tan agitada durante tanto tiempo. Tuve que tocar fondo para aprender esto. Y ahora estoy agradecida 🙏🏻🩷🌷 ¿Cuáles son tus pensamientos? ¿Qué disfrutas tú? ¡Quizá encuentres la alegría de una manera totalmente diferente! Me encantaría conocer tu opinión.
