Stories Of Our Little Angels CONTEST
tienes oportunida de participar hasta el 09 de abril
My whole story with Milo started back in April of last year, my wife and I had been moving to a new place for 2 months and since we felt insecure we decided to adopt a puppy to warn us of danger at night and to keep us company. And I remember that the first offer to adopt a puppy was one that had appeared one day to a neighbor, but the puppy was sick because its abdomen was swollen by parasites, probably it was taken from its mother too early and did not develop the necessary defenses to avoid the parasites.
My wife and I were doubtful if we wanted to adopt him since he was sick and we didn't want him to die soon, but his face looked sad and full of suffering since he had almost no fur due to bad feeding and he also had some scabs on his head probably because someone had hit him. So we decided to give him a chance and we named him Milo, as TinTin's puppy because we thought he would be a good companion, and there was no doubt about it.
Toda mi historia con Milo empezo por alla en abril del año pasado, mi esposa y yo teniamos 2 meses que nos haiamos mudado a un nuevo lugar y como nos sentiamos inseguros decidimos adoptar a un perrito para que en las noches nos avisara del peligro y que nos hiciera compañia. Y recuerdo que la primera oferta que salio para adoptar a un perrito fue uno que habia aparecido un dia a una vecina, pero el perrito estaba enfermo ya que tenia el abdomen inchado por los parasitos, probablemente lo desprendieron de su madre muy temprano y no desarrollo las defenzas necesarias para evitar a los parasitos.
Mi esposa y yo estabamos dudosos si queriamos adoptarlo ya que como estaba enfermo no queriamos que falleciera pronto, pero como en su cara se veia una mirada triste y llena de sufrimiento ya que no tenia casi pelaje debido a la mala alimentacion y tambien tenia algunas costras en la cabeza probablemente porque alguien lo habria golpeado. Asi que decidimos darle una oportunidad y lo nombramos Milo, como el perrito de TinTin ya que pensamos que seria un buen compañero, y la verdad, de eso no hubo duda.
Milo was growing and growing very fast after we gave him proper food, gave him the necessary medicines and gave him a lot of love, I would say more than a dog could need, because every time I could I played with him, either running around the house or training him to give me his paw. Milo liked all kinds of food, but his favorite were cattle viceras with rice, I remember one day I had bought him 1 kilo of beef lung and by accident I dropped a piece on the floor and Milo immediately came running and started to eat it, but he started to choke because the piece was bigger than his head, that was the first time we saved him from certain death. Another thing that I remember very fondly was when I would give him food, as we gave him 3 times a day in small portions, he already knew which were the times when it was his turn to eat and he would start dancing for us to serve him the food or he would act as if he was watching the house beating in front of the door and that way he would be justifying his food hahaha.
Milo fue creciendo y creciendo muy rapido luego que le dimos comida apropiada, le dimos las medicinas necesarias y le dimos mucho amor, yo diria mas del que un perro pudiera necesitar, ya que cada vez que podia jugaba con el, ya fuera corriendo por toda la casa o entrenandolo para que me diera la pata. A Milo le gustaba todo tipo de comidas, pero su favorita eran las viceras de ganado con arroz, recuerdo que un dia le habia comprado 1 kilo de pulmon de res y por accidente se me cayo un pedazo al piso y Milo inmediatamente vino corriendo y se lo empezo a comer, pero se empezo a ahogar debido que el pedazo era mas grande que su cabeza, esa fue la primera vez que lo salvamos de una muerte segura. Otra cosa que recuerdo con bastante cariño era cuando le iba a dar comida, como le dabamos 3 veces al dia en porciones pequeñas, el ya sabia cuales eran los horarios en que le tocaba la comida y empezaba a bailar para que le sirvieramos la comida o hacia como si estuviera cuidando la casa latiendo enfrente de la puerta y de esa manera estaria justificando su comida jajaja.
I also remember that what Milo liked the most was to be held as if he was a baby, I remember that while I was working or sitting reading or watching TV, he wanted to be in my lap and rest his head against my shoulder, when he did that he would sleep for up to 2 hours. I also remember when I would play the guitar to make a video on 3speak and he was my biggest fan because he would stare at me and when it was already 3pm and it was very hot, I would play Nocturne Op9 No. 2 on guitar because I knew he liked it and it was his sleep music.
Another thing that Milo did was to detect me from a distance, because when I was coming home and I still had 2 blocks to go, my wife would say that Milo would stand in front of the door and beat and jump for joy, that way my wife also knew that I was near, and when she heard my steps in front of the door she would lay down on the floor on her paws up for me to caress her little belly.
Another very nice memory of Milo was his Bone collections, because after every soup we made there were hard beef bones and as he was a growing dog, a veterinarian friend recommended us to give him that kind of bones as it would help with his teeth and give him the necessary calcium, because Milo sometimes ate dirty rocks, we gave him several bones so he wouldn't get sick again with parasites before his next dose of deworming.
A somewhat unpleasant but funny memory I have of Milo, is that when we let him sleep inside the house due to heavy storms, we put hundreds of recycled papers to make it easier to pick up his waste, but what a surprise we had when in the morning we saw that he had pooped just between the spaces that had the leaves, so we had to clean everything anyway....
Tambien recuerdo que lo que mas le gustaba a Milo era que lo cargaran como si fuer un bebe, recuerdo que mientras trabajaba o estaba sentado leyendo o viendo TV, el queria estaren mis piernas y apoyar su cabeza contra mi hombro, cuando hacia eso se quedaba durmiendo hasta 2 horas. Tambien recuerdo cuando yo tocaba la guitarra para hacer algun video en 3speak y el era mi mayor fan ya que se quedaba mirandome y cuando ya eran las 3pm y hacia mucha calor, yo tocaba para el Nocturne Op9 Nro 2 en guitarra porque sabia que le gustaba y era su musica para dormir.
Otra cosa que Milo hacia era detectarme a la distancia, ya que cuando yo estaba llegando a casa y aun me faltaban 2 calles, mi esposa decia que Milo se ponia enfrente de la puerta y latia y brincaba de alegria, asi de esa manera mi esposa tambien sabia que yo estaba cerca, y cuando oia mis pasos enfrente de la puerta se echaba en el piso patitas arriba para que yo acariciara su panzita.
Otro recuerdo muy bonito de Milo eran sus colecciones de Huesos, ya que despues de cada sopa que haciamos quedaban los huesos duros de res y como era un perrito en crecimiento, un amigo veterinario nos recomendo darle ese tipo de huesos ya que ayudaria con su dentadura y le daria el calcio necesario, debido a que Milo en algunas ocaciones comia rocas suabes, le dimos varios huesos para que no se enfermara de nuevo con parasitos antes de que le tocara la proxima dosis de desparasitante.
Un recuedo algo desagradable pero gracioso que tengo de Milo, es que cuando lo dejabamos dormir adentro de la casa debido a las fuertes tormentas, le poniamos cientos de papeles reciclados para que fuera mas facil recoger sus desechos, pero que sorpresa nos llevabamos cuando en la mañana nos despetabamos y veiamos que habia hecho popo justamente entre los espacios que tenian las hojas, asi que de igual manera teniamos que limpiar todo..
But in spite of so many beautiful memories of Milo, something that I never realized was that unfortunately I could not continue living those memories in person every day, since he left my side very quickly and suddenly, because it was in a matter of hours that his health deteriorated and I didn't even have time to take him to a veterinarian who could take better care of him.
I remember that day, Milo would not stop sleeping and he had lost the joy he normally had, I thought it was because he resented me and my wife because we stopped giving him dog food because it was too expensive, and that day the first of December he did not eat breakfast nor did he want to eat lunch, he just slept and slept, we began to worry because he had not even drunk any water that day, and as it was very hot we gave him water through a syringe because he was very dehydrated. But everything went from bad to worse since he couldn't even get up by himself and any movement we made to help him he would wail in pain. In fact this black and white photo was one of the last I could take of him and it was a week before we lost him.
Pero a pesar de tantos recuerdos bonitos de Milo, algo que nunca me di cuenta era de que lamentablemente esos recuerdos no los podria seguir viviendo en persona todos los dias, ya que partio de mi lado muy rapida y repentinamente, porque fue en cuestion de horas que su salud se degenero y ni tiempo me dio de llevarlo a un veterinario que lo pudiera atender mejor.
Recuerdo que ese dia, Milo no dejaba de dormir y se habia ido esa alegria que normalmente tenia, yo pense que era porque estaba resentido conmigo y mi esposa ya que le dejamos de dar perrarina porque era demaciado costosa, y ese dia el primero de diciembre no desayuno ni tampoco quizo almorzar, solo dormia y dormia, nos empezo a preocupar ya que ni siquera agua habia tomado en todo ese dia, y como estaba haciendo mucho calor le dimos agua por una jeringa ya que estaba muy desidratado. Pero todo fue de mal en peor ya que no podia ni siquiera levantarse por si mismo y cualquer movimiento que haciamos para ayudarle se lamentaba de dolor. De hecho esta foto en blanco y negro fue una de las ultimas que le pude tomar y fue una semana antes de que lo perdieramos.
From December 1st until December 2nd my wife and I were in constant jubilation because we did not know when would be the last time we would pet our companion, and as Milo was constantly agonizing and complaining with a lot of pain even to breathe, we could not sleep well. The most painful moment came on 01 at 10:48 PM when my wife and I were saying goodbye to Milo because we knew that at any moment we could lose him, it was so painful to say how he had made us feel and what a good dog he had been and all the happy moments he had given us, I think that when we adopted him we never really felt the idea that we would lose him and I think that no one thinks about it, because when we see so much love everything else is forgotten.
After saying goodbye the next day on December 2nd our dear friend fought to the last and gave his last breath and passed away, it was really terrible to hear that last scream because it filled us with so much pain, knowing that there would be no one to wait for me when I arrived, there would be no one to dance when we gave him food, there would be no one to fall asleep to hear my songs, milo would not be there anymore....
Desde el 01 de diciembre hasta el 02 mi esposa y yo estuvimos en constante jubilo debido a que no sabiamos cuando seria la ultima vez que acariciariamos a nuestro compañero, y como constantemente Milo agonizaba y se quejaba con mucho dolor hasta de respirar, no podiamos dormir bien. El momento mas doloroso llego el 01 a las 10:48 PM cuando mi esposa y yo estabamos despidiendonos de Milo porque sabiamos que en cualquier momento lo podriamos perder, fue tan doloroso decir como nos habia hecho sentir y lo buen perro que habia sido y todos los momentos felices que nos habia dado, creo que al adoptarlo nunca sentimos realmente la idea de que lo perderiamos y creo que nadie lo piensa, ya que al ver tanto amor todo lo demas se olvida.
Luego de despedirnos al dia siguiente el 02 de diciembre nuestro querido amigo lucho hasta lo ultimo y dio su ultimo suspiro y fallecio, fue realmente terrible oir ese ultimo chillido porque nos lleno de mucho dolor, saber que ya no habria nadie que me esperaria cuando llegue, ya no habria quien bailara cuando le dieramos comida, ya no habria nadie que se quedara dormido al oir mis canciones, ya milo no estaria alli..
When we buried him it was even more terrible, my hands were not enough to take a shovel and dig a hole, but with a lot of courage and strength and help from my brother-in-law, my wife and I were able to bury our friend, if you look at this publication Visiting our dear Milo, we gave him the best place that he liked, because in many afternoons he used to lose 2 hours to go to the hill that we have behind our house, now Milo can have the best view that he likes the most....
Cuando lo enterramos fue aun mas terrible, las manos no me daban para tomar una pala y cavar un hoyo, pero con mucha valentia y fuerza y ayuda de mi cuñado, mi esposa y yo pudimos enterrar a nuestro amigo, si miras esta publicacion Visiting our dear Milo, le dimos el mejor lugar que le gustaba, ya que en muchas tardes se perdia 2 horas para ir a la colina que tenemos atras de nuestra casa, ahora Milo puede tener la mejor vista que mas le gusta..
Thank you very much for reading this post, if you are wondering if we tried to help Milo, well yes, but as we were in strict quarantine there was no vet around and our neighbor was traveling, so we didn't know what to do.... All the pictures are my property and the stories are taken from my personal facebook...
Muchas gracias por leer esta publicacion, si te preguntas si intentamos ayudar a Milo, pues si, pero como estabamos en la cuarentena extricta no habia ningun veterinario cerca y nuestro vecino estava de viaje, asi que no sabiamos que hacer... Todas las fotos son de mi propiedad y las historias son tomadas de mi facebook personal..
