A canine childhood!
Hello dear community of Steemit. Before entering the platform I read many publications of articles related to poetry, literature, science, technology and post infinities that have made me grow intellectually and personally, so I decided to enter the world of Steemit and the cryptocurrency thanks to my beloved wife who has told me about this wonderful page where I can not only grow in knowledge, but they value the good content that is written. Well, here I go:
My name is José Mijares, born in the small town of Bejuma and raised in the municipality of Montalbán, Venezuela, known for its beautiful landscapes that make me love my country more and more. I am 24 years old, Christian, married with the most beautiful woman, electronic by profession, amateur of video games and lover of dogs, if of dogs. Since childhood they have been part of my life helping me in my upbringing and growth as a human being.
They have taught me about life infinities of values such as:
- Love: When I had my first dog at age 8 I named it Beethoven, inspired by the Brian Levant movie with the same name. It was a Chow Chow, a race that is characterized by its fur and the peculiarity of its blue-black tongue, my parents had given it to me as a birthday present and for 5 years it showed me its love. Every time I came home from school I started to lick and play with myself until we were exhausted, then we took a nap in the patio of the house to relax. I grew up with that love that he showed me throughout his doggy life. I enjoyed his company as much as he did mine.
- Fidelity: The dogs that I have had have been an example of fidelity, loyalty and honesty, although they can not speak, they express everything mentioned with their actions. When I scolded my dog Gina for the first time, I did it in such a way that she feared me, I did not hit her, but if she noticed my discomfort for having damaged my shoes that she had just released, despite that, she continued to love me every more day and being faithful, in no time he left my side despite having yelled at him. No matter what happened, she was still by my side.
- Knowing how to listen: Chiquilina (or as he called her, Chiqui) was a dog of the dachshund race or commonly called Sausage because of its elongated physiognomy. I got it since she was 2 months old and was a little bit bigger than a mouse. I taught Chiqui not to pass if he had not been ordered, to wait for him to tell him when to eat so he would let me put the food on his plate and what I liked most was that after each bath he did not need to tie it up until it was dried so that it would not fill with mud in the patio, she herself went to the place where the floor was and she went to bed until she was completely dry. Definitely when I spoke to him he listened to me and related the mandate with an action, something that we are losing every day more humans: Learning to listen.
- Sense of belonging: When we see that a dog urinates only a stream on a tree is because the goal is to leave its mark of smell to mark territory and let the other dogs know that he or she was there. Pituffo (name given to me by my mother) was the last one to be born from Chiqui's litter, which is why he was the smallest (that's what I read) but his character made up for it. He was not an aggressive dog nor did he seek to bite people, but he felt like the owner of the house. Once a dark person came into the house and lay down in the yard, Smurffo barked as many times as he could until my father came out to see what was happening, he was a drunk who had sneaked into our space. He was like that, with his barking he kept us alert of the evildoers who wanted to enter the house, he took care of us and he had a sense of belonging for his territory.
My life among dogs has been a great experience and I have been taught many more things that throughout my publications I will write.
Why 
?
?
The world of canines is totally dazzling and broad that deserves to be understood by those who care for them, humans. Their behaviors, actions, looks, barks, games and other things have a meaning that, if we love our pets, we must learn and understand each one of them. More than a pet, a dog is a life partner or as the common saying goes "man's best friend", that's why in
My goal is to be able to form a foundation that helps these animals that wander in the hungry streets, without care or protection because the owners have abandoned them and need a home where they will receive love, love and a herd where they feel happy. Not only the foundation will be the rescue of canines without home, but also the rehabilitation of those who have behavioral problems and need a helping hand.
Here I immerse myself, in the world of Steemit, writing about the creatures that I love the most: Los Perros. I thank for this memorable space where you can learn and value each of the publications. If you like canines, this is your space to learn from them.
In honor of my faithful dog friends who have died, leaving their footprints in my heart and teaching me invaluable life lessons.
