  Description

  We are dad Placido, a very busy tailor in the summer, mom Rocío sales representative in Merck Pharma ) who has a few weeks of vacation and will share more time with you, and Placido son ( 5 years old) who is growing up happily, with a slowlife style. We have two doggy family members: Cooper is a German Shepherd Grandpa and Peck is a 7 year old Whirlwind that we adopted as a puppy. We are easy going, we seek peace and calm in nature, we watch birds, we run through the sand, we make a simple life. We are getting closer to minimalism or the simple life.

Tenemos dos miembros perrunos en la familia: Cooper es un pastor alemán abuelito y Peck es un torbellino de 7 años que adoptamos de cachorro. Somos tranquilos, buscamos paz y calma en la naturaleza, observamos pájaros, corremos por la arena, hacemos una vida sencilla. Estamos acercándonos al minimalismo o la vida simple.
