Braaf was my first dog, flesh and bone. Till him I have a ton of books and enciclopeadiaes "with tail" that satisfied a bit that urgent need. I was 17 when that opportunity arrive. I rebel to the paternal rule "no pets allowed", that rule that I heard every birthday and Christmas finally had an end. Pushed by a school friend sicked of my complaints. "I´m sick of your complaints! Don´t you have some mone saved? Buy it! end off discussion!" Ok, have the money but not the house...and the wicked anser "You have a boyfriend, right?" Hah!
Años después recuerdo esa conversación y se me dibuja una sonrisa en la cara, la misma que debo haber tenido ese día, la misma que con la que me plante y le dije a mamá "Chau, me voy a comprar un perro!! Vuelvo a la tarde!!" Pobre vieja, jaja!! Fue mucho, pero lo digirió rápido, hasta me llevó en el auto, y algunos años después lo aceptó a Braaf, "pero solo en la cocina, eh?".
Some years after that I remember that story and a smile appears in my face, the same smile I probably have the wonderful day when I said to my mother "bye! I´m off to buy a dog! Coming late!" She had to struggle with that! But she digested the news quickly, she take me in her car, and back with the puppy on board (couldn´t believe that!) even she learned, years later to love him (in her non doggy way) "but only in the kitchen" she kept saying.
Y asi fue, diario, clasificados, cachorro de 45 días, con papeles FCA, negro y blanco, un ojo celeste y otro marrón...adivinaron...un Siberian Husky.
And that would be, newspaper, adds, puppy 45 days old, pedigree, black and white, one eye blue, the other one brown...you guess it.. a Siberian Husky.
For me was a dream made true, but quickly enough that dream became a nightmare. It was a well loved dog, and his legacy for me huge, but it wasn´t the right dog for me, or the right home. That reason is why I decided to share his story, for thinking abou the meaning of buying a dog. Let´s go step by step...
