These have been some tough days for television presenter Jorge Javier Vázquez. Belén Esteban's friend has opened up through Lecturas magazine and shared that one of his dogs has died: "On Thursday night Lima, my greyhound, left us. She was the first one that P. and I adopted together. "The departure from Lima, after twelve years with us, has left us a bit behind."
The Catalan philologist took advantage of the space he has in the middle of his heart to reflect on the company that these animals keep with humans and on how you can have such a connection with beings with whom you cannot even speak: "For those who We live alone and we have animals, home is not the house but where they are.
Vázquez also confessed to his readers that he has always had a hunch that the dog was in love with him, since their connection and relationship was very close and the animal suffered disproportionately when he left the house to work or go on vacation for a few days. .
To explain the reason for her death, the former host of Sálvame y Cuentos Chinos went back to one day in September, since when he arrived home he found the dog breathing hard. Despite the sadness she feels, the writer found the strength to joke: ''And there I see myself in a room putting oxygen in her mouth when, suddenly, my gaze meets that of the veterinarian. Young, handsome, just the way I like them. Time stopped, I swear."
According to Jorge Javier, at that moment when he met the veterinarian's eyes, he felt that the greyhound wanted to ''leave him emotionally cared for'': ''He was introducing me to his substitute. She knew what was best for me. A young man, lover of animals. He then found out that he had a girlfriend and felt ridiculous.
The dog withstood the first blow she suffered in November, but when the episode was repeated last Thursday, the veterinarian confirmed the worst of the prognoses: ''Maybe we have to stop. "We should operate but he is very old, he wouldn't resist sedation."
Broken with pain, the animalist decided to listen to the professional and said goodbye to his life partner, a moment that he will never forget: ''I took her head in my hands and we looked into each other's eyes, as we had done so many times throughout of these twelve years.
