PEQUENINA (2001-2012)

Hi, my name is Isabel C. and her name is Pequenina. You have no idea of how the life of a Physics and Chemistry teacher can be livened up by a dog, a black cocker spaniel. She was born on August 2001 and became a member of my family in October.

She died of a lymphoma located between the heart and the lungs. I miss her every day, especially when I come back home, when I wake up, when I go for a drive and her place in the car is empty, when I cook and I don’t see her… She was an unhealthy dog: she had problems with her sight and she became blind; at the beginning she didn’t want to go out but then she got used to it. Next she was diagnosed a lymphoma and eventually died of a heart attack.

 

I used to talk to Pequenina and she would always understand me, what does not always happen with people. I used to go to coffeehouses with her, to the beach, to the park… She was my little girl – what else can I say? I miss her... I miss her a lot.
