NEGRITA

The story of a meeting

Such a lovely topic Claudio sent me to write for this post: Pets.

Negrita is a canid, a dog, and although nobody in my family conceive her as a pet (not even she herself), i supposed that Negrita could be the most closest thing to a pet, at least for the rest, so i`m going to talk about her in this text. I`m going to talk about Negrita. <3

She came into our lives in 2010, here in Chile, the year of the bicentennial. I was eleven years old. I remember it almost perfectly, we were on nineteenth of September and we had been staying for some time with exchange students coming from Argentina, all of them were (or are) Europeans (mostly Spanish people, one French and two Germans, in total eleven). We hang out them to a typical chilean restaurant, Pancho Causeo, because they wanted to know something very our, something that could represent our idiosyncrasy. And on our way to the "Picá", there she was, small, round, entirely black; so innocent, sweet and tender, breaking a garbage bag that was leaning on a lamppost on the sidewalk, there was Negrita. As soon as we saw her we caress her, and we thought that she had escaped, so we took and put her in a nearby house (thinking that she had left from there), in the front yard behind the bars, we said goodbye and went to the restaurant. Back home, after two or three hours having fun, eating and drinking, we found her again, on the sidewalk, breaking the same garbage bag. We couldn`t resist, it was the destiny, that dog had crossed us twice on our way, it was a signal (my mom said), so between prayers and prayers we finally managed to convince our grandmother to take her home and adopt her as our.

NEGRITA IS SO F#@$ING  SPECIAL, and the reasons for this are too much, they give for another post, so for the moment you'll have to content yourself with this: I LOVE HER!
