Hello friends and I hope you had a great weekend.
Today I will introduce you to Floki, a little dog I offered a temporary home.
Because I'm always involved in everything I get to do with dogs, whether it's events, conferences, or anything that I find entertaining, besides looking for Pet Friendly places to take my crazy furry dog everywhere, I met Carolina. She is a very nice and kind girl who is always looking for and giving homes to pets in need, be it cats or dogs. One day she asked me if by any chance I could be a temporary home from time to time for some pets, to which I answered yes. I didn't know how crazy I was getting into, but I had already accepted that responsibility and there was no turning back.

Hola amigos y espero que hayan tenido un gran fin de semana.
Hoy les presentaré a Floki, un perrito al que le ofrecí un hogar temporal.
Porque siempre ando metida en todo lo que consiga de perros, así sean eventos, jornadas, o cualquier cosa que me parezca entretenida, además de buscar los sitios Pet Friendly para llevarme a mi loca peluda a todos lados, conocí a Carolina. Ella es una muchacha muy linda y amable que está pendiente de buscar y dar hogar a mascotas que lo necesiten, ya sea gatos o perros. Ella un día me pregunta si por casualidad yo podría ser hogar temporal de vez en cuando para algunas mascotas, a lo que le respondí que sí. No sabía en qué locura me estaba metiendo, pero ya había aceptado esa responsabilidad y no había vuelta atrás.

One day she writes me and tells me that there is a lady who has a male dog, medium size, a little bigger than Luna (she already knew her), and that this person had to leave the country and that she had to find a home for him soon. I figured that if that didn't happen, she was going to abandon him, which seemed strange to me because the lady had rescued him from the street in a pretty deplorable state. Anyway, she asked me if I could give him a home for a while until I could find someone who wanted to adopt him. I must say that I really wanted to adopt him myself, but due to time constraints I didn't do it. I always think about the responsibility that having a dog requires: food, care, grooming, attention, daily outings, among others, and I see if I will be able to fulfill it.

Un día me escribe y me dice qué hay una señora que tiene un perro macho, tamaño mediano, un poco más grande que Luna (ella ya la conocía), y que esa persona tenía que irse del país y que debía encontrarle casa sí o sí pronto. Me imagino que si eso no se lograba, lo iba a abandonar, cosa que me parecía extraño porque la señora lo había rescatado de la calle en un estado bastante deplorable. En fin, me preguntó si yo podría darle un hogar por un tiempo hasta que consiguiera a alguien que lo quisiera adoptar. Debo decir que tuve muchas ganas de adoptarlo yo, pero por temas de tiempo no lo hice. Yo siempre pienso en la responsabilidad que amerita tener un perro: comida, cuidado, peluquería, atenciones, salidas diarias, entre otros, y veo si la podré cumplir.

I said yes, that I had no problem to take care of him while a family that wanted him appeared. So I went to pick him up at his owner's house, she told me more or less what his personality was like, gave him to me, and I left. The truth is that I didn't see much nostalgia or sadness in her because she wouldn't see her dog anymore, but well, to each his own. We arrived home, and Luna is a little jealous, she had him a little subdued but he was a love with her so she accepted his screams without getting upset.

Le dije que sí, que no tenía problema en cuidarlo mientras aparecía una familia que lo quisiera. Así fue, lo fui a buscar a casa de su dueña, me dijo más o menos cómo era su personalidad, me lo entregó, y me fui. La verdad no le vi mucha nostalgia ni tristeza porque ya no vería más a su perro, pero bueno, cada quien con su carácter. Llegamos a casa, y Luna es un poco celosa, lo tenía algo sometido pero él era un amor con ella así que aceptaba sus gritos sin molestarse.

His fur was soft, very soft like suede, even softer than Luna's, it was so nice to pet him, and he liked it too, he would sit next to me and would come closer little by little while you were petting him. He was very affectionate, sometimes if I scolded him he would try to growl at me, but he didn't do anything to me. He liked to go out a lot too, and since Luna was there, he didn't run away; except one time when I was at the beach with both of them and when I was careless he was gone. Since I live 1 block from the beach, I guess he wanted to leave because of the heat, because when I was looking for him after 30 minutes, I went closer to the house to see if I could see him, and he was in front of the building, under a tree, catching some shade. Thank goodness I got him, I was getting very anxious until I saw him and I was very happy.

Su pelaje era suave, muy suave como una gamuza, incluso más que el de Luna, era tan rico acariciarlo, y además a él le gustaba, se quedaba sentado al lado y se iba acercando poco a poco mientras lo ibas acariciando. Era muy cariñoso, a veces si lo regañaba me intentaba gruñir, pero no me hacía nada. Le gustaba salir mucho también, y como estaba Luna, no se escapaba; excepto una vez que estaba en la playa con ambos y cuando me descuidé él ya no estaba. Como yo vivo a 1 cuadra de la playa, supongo que quiso irse ya por el calor, porque cuando estaba buscándolo ya después de 30 minutos, me fui acercando a la casa a ver si lo veía, y estaba al frente del edificio, debajo de un árbol agarrando sombra. Menos mal lo conseguí, me estaba dando mucha ansiedad hasta que lo vi y me sentí muy feliz.

Two weeks later, Carolina wrote me to tell me that a family wanted Floki, and that they had already bought him a bed, toys and many things to receive him with love. A few days later, I was able to see him in a Pet Friendly supermarket with his new family.

PS: I love happy endings 😊.

Dos semanas después, me escribe Carolina para decirme que una familia quería a Floki, y que ya le habían comprado una camita, juguetes y muchas cosas para recibirlo con amor. Unos días después, pude verlo en un supermercado Pet Friendly con su nueva familia.

PD: Amo los finales felices 😊
