My Pets

Hello again, in this time I want to talk about a very important part of my family: my pets.
Fito is a small dog, but is old, he have 13 years, my grandmother gives me this dog  when I have 5 years, fito was in a shoe box (She said that she was buy me shoes) and he was so little and fat, my parents didn't  want a dog but they don't have option, so we had to choosen a name, and my sisters decided that the best name was "Fito" like a friend of my father, because the dog and the friend of my dad was small and fat. I love this dog, I would give my life for him.

Fernando is my cat, he have 7 years, he looks like garfield, is a big cat, is very  lovely but he don't like when a lot of people is around of him, so he goes  to another place and when people go back to their own houses, Fernando come back. We adopt him because he  one day arrived to my hose and never let go. Since he have 3 years I have to go to veterinarian  with him because he had a wound, and then we decided to castrate him and in a blood test we discovered that he have HIV, so, I have to buy every months a remedy that makes he had a best defense.

Alfredo is a small and hairy dog, he is so hiperactive, we adopt him of the streets, we decided  him name for another friend of my father, that is small, brown (my dog  is black)  and so hairy too, and we can call him "alf" like the alien of a tv show. He have 4 years, and he like to play with Fernando.

Thanks for reading (:

Allen Schoen

Hello again, this time I will talk about Allen Schoen, He received  from Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 1978, and also holds a Masters Degree in Neurophysiology and Animal Behavior from the University of Illinois.
 He is one of the pioneers in veterinary acupuncture and natural therapies, developing and practicing them since 1981.
 Dr. Schoen continues to explore the integration of mind/body medicine and other cutting edge approaches into veterinary medicine and animal health care. In addition, he feels that the integration of an attitude of loving kindness and compassion into all endeavors is an integral part of healing all beings and our world. Dr. Schoen divides his time between his veterinary practice, teaching, writing and developing new approaches to animal health care, all infused with a foundation of loving kindness and compassion for all beings.
I  found one of his books in a biblary, "nuestros amigos los animales" I love this book, and makes me cry with the relates about his experience with a lot of animals, it's so beautiful.
Another books that he was wrote: "Kindred Spirits", "Love, miracles and animal healing", "Coplementary and alternative veterinarian medicine", "Veterinary acupunture".

I let you some images, Bye (:

Where I would like to go

In the future I would like to visit Alaska because is the best place to see Aurora Borealis. I like  this, it's so beautiful, I can see this in Canada too,  but I like more Alaska, and in Chile I can see this phenomenon in Tierra del Fuego but is not probable to see it, and I want to travel  to see Aurora Borealis, so as I like more Alaska I want to go to this place although I don't like so much the cold weather, I think it's more beautiful  to see in the snow. In solstice  is easier to see this,  and in summer too, so in this season I want to travel, it's just for some days, one or two weeks to visit the surroundings. This is a project for me, I want do this travel in a moment of my life.

Reasons to be a vet

Hello!! in this session  I will tell to you  why I wanted to be a vet. Well  since I was a child I wanted to do this. I love animals, all animals, I can't stand to see them suffering. In a moment of my life I thought to study forest engineering  but in my plan of life  I always wanted to know  something about veterinary medicine, and  finally I decided  to study this carreer because is something that makes me so happy.
I couldn't make another thing different to this, I love animals, I can`t  undertand people who don't like them, people who hurts them, I can't stand it so I want to protect them,  to take care of them and make everything possible so they're happy,  for these reasons I would like to  have a clinic  to save them  and a house with a big space to have a lot of animals like abandoned dogs and cats to give them in adoption, because I don't want to see more animals in the streets alone, with deseases,  or die, and obviously I want to have some  of this  cats and dogs to be my pets, and I want to have another animals too, like a goat, rabbits and  maybe a horse. Now in the university I like to go to  Mundo Granja to see the animals, I love specially to see  the goats,  and I have lunch everyday in this place, because it's so beautiful wih the animals nearby, it's so natural, it's like to be in the meadow of my aunt. Finally I just want to  say that I love all of this, maybe not much to study, that is some boring but I have to do it if I want to be a good veterinarian. Bye!!!
