[ESP – ENG] Un poco sobre mi amor y pasión por estos seres de 4 patas / A little bit about my love and passion for these 4-legged creatures.

Since I was a little girl I grew up surrounded by animals, I saw them everywhere and even my mother is an animal lover too and since I can remember she has instilled in me the love and respect towards them, things that I will always be grateful for. My paternal family, originally from Lara State, own farms where they raise several species of animals such as goats, sheep, cows, pigs, chickens and even dogs and cats.

I want to talk in a little more detail about goats and goats, which are my favorite farm animals and about which I have been acquiring knowledge as I have grown older.

🐐❤️

Goats are usually very agile animals, even able to climb high slopes with ease. They have been known for about 9000 years and live in herds. They feed on shrubs or grasses, either dry or mountainous. They are quite delicate when it comes to eating, quite the opposite of sheep.

There are many different breeds of this animal, which are very different from each other, I will name some of them, the most common or known here in our country Venezuela.

Aunque gran parte de estos animales son mayormente utilizados con fines comerciales, ya que de ellos se obtienen alimentos los cuales son comercializados a nivel mundial y usados para el sustento familiar, todo aquel que haya tenido acercamientos con estos preciosos animales puede decir con certeza que son bastante cariñosos, dóciles y recatados.

Although most of these animals are mostly used for commercial purposes, since they are used to obtain food which is traded worldwide and used for family sustenance, anyone who has been close to these precious animals can say with certainty that they are quite affectionate, docile and demure.

Hablo desde mi experiencia con ellos, ya que desde pequeños los veo crecer (y admito que es mi parte favorita) son extremadamente adorables, inquietos, juguetones, ruidosos y siempre van a querer que les hagas cariñitos como coloquialmente solemos decir.

I speak from my experience with them, since I've been watching them grow up (and I admit it's my favorite part) they are extremely adorable, restless, playful, noisy and they will always want you to make them cuddles as we colloquially say.

A medida que van creciendo, si estuviste con ellos desde que eran apenas unos bebés, puedo afirmar que no se olvidarán de ti, incluso si les ponen nombres y los llamas desde lejos créeme que van a responderte con el particular sonido que emite esta raza de mamíferos.

As they grow up, if you have been with them since they were just babies, I can affirm that they will not forget you, even if you name them and call them from far away, believe me that they will answer you with the particular sound that this breed of mammals emits.

It is not such a long and explanatory post because I spoke from my knowledge about these great beings to which I wanted to give more visibility and talk about them.

Les regalo una foto de la puesta del sol desde la granja de mis abuelos, se veía tan hermoso que no pude evitar capturar este momento y compartirlo con ustedes.
