My pet

My pet passed away 10 years ago, but I would like to talk about him. His name was Nick, for the TV channel Nickelodeon, which at that time I liked a lot, he was a German Shepherd, the story of how he came into my life and my family's, goes back to the summer of 2004, on vacation in the Coquimbo region, when on an outing to eat, we saw a van that had a sign that said: German Shepherds for sale, me being a child , I told my parents that I would like to have a puppy, they wrote down the contact number and we returned to our summer cabin, a week later my mother called the number and the person who answered gave the address of the farm, so we could go see the puppies.

I was very excited, because it was the first time I was going to have a dog, we arrived and there were twenty puppies that looked at me so lovingly but I could only choose one. I honestly don't know why I chose Nick, I just know it was a good choice.

He was so small, and so active, I remember he used to chase my rabbit, who was my other pet, he just wanted to play all the time, as he got older he started to like the water, so we would go to the beach with him, later we couldn't take him out of the sea, because he had an immense strength, and he didn't listen.

In his last years of life, we already had a connection with him, he liked to be petted, he respected us and was calm when he went for a walk.

One summer day in 2011, his heart stopped beating, without warning, which was shocking and generated in me a great sorrow, days later we buried him in the yard of my house, I remembered how important Nick was in my life, that although it was not long time, he was a great help to spend my childhood years, always playing with me, staying by my side while reading a book and being more than a dog, a friend.
