since i was very young i like to enjoy the outdoors especially if i also go to train, a special weekend with lovely people make the difference of common and equal days, this weekend i was sharing with some friends and my husband in a typical hill of Valencia called "casupo" located in Venezuela, Carabobo state to be exact, to come to this wonderful place and train a little bit makes me feel like in those times that only mattered to go out and sweat a lot every time i ran everywhere.
I had been trying to come to the hill for more than a month, unfortunately something always happened, I was almost disappointed again because I thought that this end would not be the day either. Although as they say, he who wants to can do it, I decided to cheer up again, I told my husband, get ready, today is the day, we will go to the hill, I need to connect with nature, that place that can take your mind off any problem and transport you to a place where everything is relaxation and feel the wind hitting your face.
Getting everything ready to go to the hill was easy, the hardest part was having to walk about 2 km to get there, I really felt at times that it was very far but as I was talking to the other guys everything flowed quickly the streets were reduced in my mind and really everything became super simple, while walking to the hill I met some cute little friends, I was amazed because I love this kind of animals and they looked so adorable.
The story of these two cats is quite strange, they are two animals that were not lucky to get a family of humans, so they got used to live in the outdoors, with time both cats got together and formed a kind of bond because where one goes the other, it is nice to see this kind of connection in animals especially in cats, which are solitary animals. Both animals have a strong past, from being marginalised to being beaten by people and being run over, so much so that they managed to touch the hearts of many people, they are animals that are not used to being approached by people and do not show any signs of being afraid of people.
Many times this lack of fear is a problem, because somehow those who suffer directly the consequences are the animals themselves, people have proven to be ruthless beings, many enjoy causing harm to animals that are not to blame for anything, Mailu and Milo has about 4 years and have always been together, although they tried to adopt them on several occasions these two animals returned to meet and returned to the same place, it seems lie what I'm telling but it is a reality somehow always returned to this area.
Today everything is different for them, the people of the area adopted these animals as pets of the whole residential complex, many people who live there go down every day to give food to both cats, they take care of them and are always aware that they do not lack anything, also these cats are sterilized which prevents them from continuing to reproduce without control or measure that prevents many more cats are born in the street.
I am a supporter that every animal deserves respect, no matter the size much less the gender, the important thing is to know that every living being suffers equally and does not deserve to be harmed, I have also participated in programs of protection and removal of animals in danger, part of that work is to track animals that are in constant danger and relocate and finally release it and, if I am asked many times why save animals from the street? My answer will always be the same, no matter who it is if they need help we must help them as long as we can, much more to the animals that are not to blame for anything, insensitive those people who abandon and forget them in the streets or any unknown place for not wanting to continue feeding the animal, really that kind of people have no forgiveness from God, I consider them perverse and inhumane.
Well after having continued our tour I could also find a sweet dog called bob, what a beautiful animal, he is big and playful this dog is used as a searcher and protector in the hill, he is in charge of taking care that there is no snake or danger nearby and takes care of the people, although he looks like an old dog because of his size he is just a puppy he is only a year and a half old, although he is very young he is an animal prepared for any danger and very attentive to the people.
as always I didn't miss the opportunity to take a picture and have a memory with such a beautiful and big animal, I am not a big fan of dogs since I can remember, I only had a cat and a wolf dog, with both animals I ended up getting very fond of them, the worst was when I had to say goodbye to several of them, obviously years passed before I lost these two great friends that today I remember with much love.
Bob is also a specialist in drugs, he is a real tracker with a capacity to get any kind of illicit chemical substance without any problem, this is one of the reasons why I like to go out, firstly because one learns about many events and on the other hand one meets fantastic animals, each animal is unique, especially dogs and cats that have different characteristics and behaviour.
on the one hand cats are pets loved and hated by everyone, many of us like them but there are also things about the animal that bother many people, now what I do not tolerate is that both cats and dogs are released on the streets, for unknown reasons until unacceptable I do not think there is an excuse to release a pet to the street and leave it suffering, I wish people could be consientizar, beyond unconditional companions also feel, it hurts them to be mistreated and suffer like us.
Animals have lived together for many years, with the passing of time the animals most sought after by humans have been identified, among them are the two I mentioned a little while ago, dogs and cats, now what has caused so many animals to end up on the streets without any need. The lack of conscience, we as humans are responsible for an animal as long as it lives with us, so who is to blame if the animals end up on the street? Of the man of ourselves, I would like to develop at some point a foundation, although I do not want to handle any money directly if insomus or food for animals, to attend to these creatures that are on the street without any support.
continuing with my tour we finally arrived at the casupo, what a fantastic hill this is, it is immense, with rocks and a lot of earth to climb, it is quite steep, quite a challenge for anyone, besides it has areas where you can stop to rest as a kind of stations, There you can always drink water and then continue with the trip, I recommend that whenever you are going to climb a hill take a monkey or something long because many times it happens like me, I ended up slipping and I scraped my knee, what hurts the most is not the blow but the scratch,
Besides I can't complain either, I went up accompanied by people who were very attentive at the moment when I fell, they all looked scared and after the scare they all laughed, as if they were thinking my God something very bad almost happened but it's a good thing it didn't, the benefits of climbing the hill are many, first you condition yourself, it can help you to clear your mind, distract you from so many daily worries, it helps you to set goals and achieve your goals, I know people who every day arrive at a different station, their only objective is to reach the end of the hill at the top and, if you ask me, it has some logic, training the body is done through constancy, that is to say practicing constantly, subjecting the body to high intensity training such as climbing a hill and improving their sporting level every day.
I have also met people who have been struggling with grief for years, and the recommendation to connect with nature was the best thing that ever happened to them, because somehow its power is so great that we can think about so many things, I don't know if it is the natural beauty, the peace that exists there, or even the very energy that you feel there, I wanted to tell you about a person who unfortunately is no longer with us, he was someone I admire a lot, especially because I learned important things, I learned that everything is in us, to want to achieve, to reach a goal is in us. Fran was a very charismatic grandfather with an immeasurable energy, every time he came to the hill for him it was another opportunity to prove to himself that he was still able and had the necessary vitality, but as the years went by he understood that it was not only vitality, it was the thirst of wanting to prove himself that kept him going up every day, that his true energy came from his mind, many times he felt tired but his mind dictated something else, so he managed to reach and surpass his goals, on the other hand I also learned that there is no age that dictates what you should and should not do, you just need the determination to want to achieve things, not to surrender as difficult as it may seem, fight until you can't and always prevail against the different bitterness of fate.
in my journey many things happened, from meeting with pleasant animals and above all with indomitable survivors such as those cats that day by day give life in those cold and humid streets, on the other hand I also managed to see again the nicest dog that I have ever met, Finally, I reached the top, I felt that I was connected with nature and above all, I proved to myself that I still have the capacity to continue fighting as long as I put my mind to it. Thank you very much to all of you, today I say goodbye with a big hug, see you soon. !
