Or I should say two pickups, because I did one and
Oscar another, two galgos, one male and one female. The male we picked up in a
village in Salamanca
were he had been roaming about for two years already and the priest of the
village always left some food for him, so nobody else paid any attention until
the priest moved to another place and there was nobody to feed him. Will you be
the one taking care of his food from now on?
The other is a little female galgo that I picked up in
Villoslada, a very small village in Segovia
and pretty far out. The thing is that we were called to pick her up, and we of course told them that they would
have to try closing her in or putting her in a patio somewhere so we could pick
her up from there and that is what they did. What happened is that I came to
the village, arrived at the house and the man told me it would be difficult to
catch her and the best would be that we would give her something to eat and he
appeared with a piece of bacon to give to her and the galga refused, she didn’t
want it, and that’s where I come in, get down and she comes closer very slowly,
I let her smell my hand, she comes even closer and simply lets herself be
caught without any problem. The neighbours hallucinated and told me that I had
hypnotized her. Nothing further from the truth, she is just a lovely dog but
these people in the village now think I have special powers and with a simple
look the galgos fall at my feet.. nothing like that but it’s just a simple
question of talking to them lovingly.
Greetings and till soon
