Hi everybody! this is my new post. Today I’m going to talk about a special subject: Pets.

Actually, I’m going to talk about my marine tortoise that leave us this week.

My little tortoise’s name was “Lenta”. She loved swimming and eating.

She arrived to our home in April, 2014. We were visiting an uncle in Recoleta, and near to his house, there was a market (feria). A man was selling tortoises and then we bought one. She was very little and we didn’t know about how to take care of her. The space we had was a kind of uncomfortable and small for her and she couldn’t move nor eat well. So we decided to buy a new aquarium, bigger than she already had. We also had to think about the water’s temperature. While time was going on, she was growing more and more. She was very special. She was mine and she will always be. For me and my family, she was a partner of long journeys. She always was there with us.

I think when you have a pet, you grow up and become more responsible about other life; you must feed it, take care of it, clean it and love it. Sometime, you even have to talk to it, why not? I’m sure of pets can hear you. That is the hardest part, when you realize they have gone, you see that empty, then you remember all the moments together.. and now there are only memories.

Thank you Lentita for everything you gave me. You were a great pet and you will always be on my heart. I love you.

This is the hardest and saddest post ever. Thanks for reading it.
