Letter to my dog

Dear Dog

I still remember when you were born, we look forward to your arrival with great emotion, we take care of your mother all the time, we were aware of you from the first moment, since then all the moments you have been with us have been fabulous, you have always had that energy and You want to live from what human beings sometimes lack, I always want to get infected with it.

It was precisely that energy that led you to commit acts that were bad for my eyes, how bad I was. You just acted like a puppy, it seems that I forgot when I was at your age, keeping the parameters, I did much worse things, you just acted as your nature dictated, and I with my ignorance wanted you to act like a human, when I was I the one who had to see things from your perspective, the perspective of a dog. What reason has the phrase that says you try to be more like your dog instead of wanting your dog to be like you.

You have always smiled, you have always been faithful, you have always tried to be by my side, you have always left behind your preferences for the simple fact of being close to me and giving me something of the most valuable with what you can count, Love.
And in exchange for it, I have interposed my needs, how many times not when I got home from work I got angry because an "accident" happened and you went to the bathroom inside the house, when it was not your fault, if not mine not to have tried the minimum necessary circumstances so that it did not happen. Those times I shouted at you for eating a shoe, when it was my responsibility to make a house with reinforcement against puppies and as simple as keeping the shoes in place and closing the closet door.

You have taught me values ​​such as friendship, respect and love, you have grown up with me and there has not been a single moment, no matter how small it is that you have not been willing to do what I ask, even when deep down It does not make any sense.

You have been patient for the thousands of photos I have taken, and without many times I have not taken the trouble to stop and hug you and kiss you and ask you how are you, I have taken for granted that you are well, when many times now I know , you have had pain and because you did not bother me you did not see me.

You have taught me to share, to give without expecting anything in return. And yes I admit, I have often been selfish with you, nothing cost me to give you a few minutes to return, when you waited all day for me.
