A fat doggy

Today's a free theme, so i'll talk about my dog..
My dog was a gift that i got for my last birthday, at first my dad wasn't agree on having a pet, because our flat is very small, and we don't have a big backyard. But, on November 7th of 2008, a beautiful dog came to my house. Me and my mom named her "Agustina", because we think that if we choose this name my dad wouldn't be so upset (My dad's name is "Augusto").
Agustina's breed is "Basset Hound". A basset hound is a short-legged dog, of the scent hound family, this means that they can hunt and chase rabbits or other animals just by feeling the smell. A basset hound is also known as a "Hush Puppie", because a famous shoes industry used this image for their publicity.
Agustina is a very friendly dog, she likes to eat many food and she's also very lazy. Now she's 1 year and 4 month olds, and she's very large but her legs are also very short, so i'm a little scared because she's a fat dog and maybe in a few years she might can't support her own weight; also she has loooong ears, i mean extremely long ears.. her ears can touch the floor, wich is also very worrying because this makes her prone to ear diseases.
Her face makes her look like she's always sad, her droopy eyes and her long ears force you to don't be angry when she does bad things. Also, when she wants something she starts to howl and barking, and when she wants to get attention she uses a low whine.
Agustina is on the lazy side, and it's really necessary to take her out, if i don't do it , she might start to gain more weight and get fatter than she's now. So, having a dog is useful to have company and also to walk every day and do some exercise.

Where to go and what to do in Santiago

Today's theme is SANTIAGO .. here you'll have some tips to visit interesting and fun places in this beautiful city, and as you can see my FATTY FATTY DOGGY loves this city, so she has her sunglasses on and she's ready to join you ..
Plaza de Armas: This is the most important square in Santiago. It's surrounded of beautiful and ancient buildings (XVIII-XIX century), like the Cathedral Church, the National Museum, etc. Also, there are many scultures of important people who contribute in many ways to our country.
Like any square, there's always space for art. If you want to have a good souvenir or an unforgetable memory, you should pay to an artist (3.000 pesos) for a beautiful portrait of yourself. If you like theather, every day you can find and watch open air theathers, and even if you want to laugh a little, this square has funny comediants and it's a free show.
About security, you must be careful with your personal items, like cameras, bags, etc; many thieves go and do their "job".

Teatro Municipal de Santiago (Santiago's Principal Theater): If you want to watch and enjoy classic music and ballet dancing, you must visit this place. In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful places in Santiago, it has a perfect white facade. The inside of this place looks like an old movie; a big crystal lamp hanging out the painted ceiling gaves you a view that you'll never forget. This place is located in dowtown, it's very easy to get there.

Cerro San Cristóbal (Saint Cristobal's Hill) : Santiago is like a hole between hills, and one of them is Saint Cristobal's Hill. This place has lot of interesting places, because it's divided in different zones. The typical and well known sculpture "The Virgin Mary" statue, is located at the top of the hill. Also there's a Japanese Garden, it's a very beautiful and relaxing place, and from here you can have excellent shots with your photo camera. And if you like animals, you can visit the Metropolitan Zoo.
And last but no least .. PATRONATO!!!! This is definatly est place for shopping. Here you'll find cheap clothing stores, cheap and yummy food, and also some shops to buy souvenirs for your friends. In Patronato you'll find many cultures, for example, japanese and chinese people have set up their own stores and they sell products brought straight from their countries.
I hope you liked my "mini guide" to visit Santiago. BUT! Be careful, here is a little bit dangerous to walk with big amounts of money, so look out of your things and stay alert! But with Agustina a.k.a fatty fatty doggy you don't have to worry too much!
