Hello dear steemians, I hope you are having a good weekend.
Today the truth is not a very happy day for me, I always try to be positive and face life that way. I think that by focusing on the positive of everyday life, living is simpler. But there are moments, in which that becomes impossible, because some natural events that happen.
I have two dogs, Milo and Aycon. Milo lives with me and is a whirlwind, has more than two years already, is full of life and I rejoice every day with their occurrences and attitudes. I thank every day for having him with me and for the affection he shows me. He is the sweetest dog there is, and that receives me every day as if it were the last, is something that is priceless.
My other dog Aycon, lives with my mom, he must be over 14 and has been a big part of my life. Thousands of memories come to mind when I write this. He has always accompanied me and I am grateful that he has been put in my way. It's going to sound subjective but I think I'll never find a sweeter look than his. In those eyes I find wisdom and without saying a word or expressing a gesture, he has made me feel that I was important to him. I have always been to think that the love of an animal is pure, without "contaminants" that the reasoning of human beings can generate. A dog's love manifests itself as "white" at its best.
Aycon by itself, was not a demonstrative dog, to give me a licking was a feat, but had attitudes that made me more of a smile and made my heart feel full of joy. Like for example constantly lying on my foot, hit the plate of food when he wanted food or that touch me with the paw so that I make a caress to him.
Greater demonstration of love, I do not think there is...
He loves water...
Today my mom took him to the vet and to our displeasure, they did tests and have discovered tumors. We knew that for logical reasons of age and just to see him walk leisurely and difficult, it was possible that he had something, but this news hits us strong and surprise.
A few days ago I saw a movie, A dog's purpose. Very good movie in which it tries to show the meaning of a dog for a person. And it made me remember everything that Aycon or Milo gave me without asking for anything in return. His delivery is unconditional and over time it is generating a bond of affection that not even with some people we achieve. Maybe they can not think or speak but they can feel and for me, that's what counts.

I understand that there are people skeptical of animals but that is not my case. I can not even hear a dog cry. For this reason, perhaps this news hurts me so much. Aycon is part of the family, is like a son or brother more. And the mere fact of thinking that soon will not be with us hurts and much. I will accompany him as I can in this time that he has left, I hope he does not suffer and he has already earned a precious place in my memory and heart.
Sorry for writing this here, but it's good for me to do it, it's some sort of catharsis in which I take out everything inside me.
Big hug!
