Poem from Leticia Escalera

Si…! Animals are Companions Too!

I had moved into my own beautiful apartment… the cleanest and the most modern I ever had… Finally my own place…! as I dreamed to have.  It was spacious with great natural light… and often a quiet place.

Silence, silence was my companion after every busy work day…

Silence, Silence, silence began to invade my emotions creating a sense of loneliness

My dream apartment! My favorite place without people… and without animals… Surprisingly, it became occasionally a place of sadness!

Then came Tito…! And soon later Chiquis…the most playful and noisiest Chihuahuas I ever met… the silence, the seldom sadness and the sense of being physically alone soon disappeared.

 Si…! Animals are companions and a special gift… Silence… became none existent… and after 8 years silence is often a wonderful opportunity.
