A photograph I like.

A long time ago my family, uncles, aunts and their children liked go to camp to the mountain range. With my cousins played all day and we acted like a savages or like animals, we scaled and descended the hill millions time in the day… And my dad always keep watched us, because we are a little naughty. And in this case he captured this photo when we want to sequestered and ate them, he take the situation with humor. I don’t remember the year, but for my face I think I was eight, was in summer of 2006. The photo is not my favorite and don’t like so much, but the memories and the feeling when I see it the best. I miss this travels and the closeness of my family. I like because I was very funny and I feel like a little girl again, in my mind of course.

• Mastitis; is the inflammation of the mammary gland and udder tissue. It usually occurs as an immune response to bacterial invasion of the teat canal by variety of bacterial sources present on the farm, and can also occur as a result of chemical, mechanical, or thermal injury to the cow's udder.

• Tuberculosis (TB); this disease can affect practically all mammals, causing a general state of illness, coughing and eventual death.
