Spartacus, a coffee-scented story

In front of La Copa Literary Café, in Playa municipality, a peaceful creature was dozing... in an incomplete bed. Because, of course, it was missing the mattress. Nevertheless, he was quite comfortable, slumped in the arms of Morpheus.–Don't get too close, I was alerted by a woman, he has a bad temper.

{I imagined something like this to calm someone's bad temper}

Another woman sitting next to her complained:

–Why do you say that? Spartacus is good.

–Let's not fool ourselves, replied the first woman, rolling her eyes.

So I asked: –Is his name Spartacus? Did I hear correctly? Took another picture without looking at them, Spartacus opened his eyes (I guess because he heard his name) and raised his head. "It has a pretty haircut", I thought. 😁

It turns out that Spartacus is a charismatic stray dog and he's lucky that everyone in this area takes care of him.

They say he cries to the man who sells empanadas in the morning until he gives him one and that he also likes to eat chocolate in any form, sweets, biscuits, whatever. –This is not funny... chocolate makes dogs sick, I said, and they started chattering that if this, that, that, he's like that, why not...

🤔 {maybe he even likes coffee}

In a closed mouth... you know. Besides who was I to question the way Spartacus lives. Maybe he's a little grumpy, but he is charismatic after all, which makes me wonder sometimes if success and a good life also depend on charisma.

The truth is that we stopped to enter the Literary Café and then we saw Spartacus. I couldn't have a coffee there if I'm on my bike, as was the case. There is nowhere to put it and be calm, and carefree about its safety. Sometimes I think a network of cafés for cyclists is a good idea to implement in Havana, something that should already exist, I think... Like thousands of other things that should exist and don't... (breathes, music)

🙂😅

I went in for two minutes, glanced at the books for one and a half minutes, and spent the rest of the time looking at the furniture and decorations. "It looks pretty good", I concluded. The smell in there almost made me levitate. What does a place like this smell like? Glory. With that in my mind, I cycled home where I prepared coffee. For three. With a dash of milk.


$1

I had no biscuits to offer this time... like that time I had no milk.

I feel like I'm always missing something... {Sighing}.

But back to Spartacus. I know he is happy and I was very joyful for him. When I visit La Copa again, I will surely bring him some snacks. I know he's been living there for a few years now.

Feliz día de Navidad @nanixxx.

Creo que lo voy a mirar todo el día. 😄 Gracias.
Feliz día, @enraizar. No te voy a negar que por estas fechas siento mucha melancolía. Un abrazo, que pases un día bonito y gracias otra vez.

Por acá también son fechas, como mínimo extrañas, de agradecimiento y al mismo tiempo, de ausencias. Te deseo lo mismo, que pases un bonito día.

Gracias @nanixxx.

Spartacus seems that despite living on the street he has many people looking after his life and well-being, although I'm not a big fan of pets living on the street, but at least he has some approved security...
Will a simple chocolate biscuit do him any harm?
You made me remember that I have given chocolate to my Chloe, will it be so bad?

Hi nanixxx, you are missed!

Sorry I'm a bit lost, maybe I'm entering the year of my release or my life sentence...we'll see.....

🎄🌻🎄🌻🎄🌻🎄

Well, yes, chocolate is poison for them... Just don't give her any more and that's it. Don't worry about it.

And don't worry about being a bit lost either. We all need to prioritise and organise at some point in our lives. I wish that in the midst of all the challenges we face on a daily basis, joy and pleasure come into your life too.

😊🎄🎁

Yes, decidedly will not eat more chocolate...😔

I hope you had a nice evening for Christmas, I also wish many nice things for you.

The hours will be organized, they need to be organized.

Spartacus does indeed have a cool haircut, like a spunky mohawk 😎 It's nice that everyone takes care of him, although I'm with you on the chocolate thing! Perhaps his charisma keeps illness at bay as well as making his mark on the neighborhood!

Your cycling coffeeshop idea is cool too, maybe you could get an investor and make it happen- then you could get a coffee with milk on the go anytime haha!

Let's not underestimate that Spartacus takes his rest seriously.... Hahaha... Yeah, his style is so cool.
Well, I didn't think of a mobile Café, but several places distributed around the city where cyclists can rest, have coffee, energetic snacks and also enjoy knowing that their bikes are safe. It really is a problem here. There are hardly any such places.
Thank you for stopping by. Best wishes to you. Merry Christmas.🎄🎁☕

Nice post I like the story of Spartacus :)

Thank you, Merry Christmas! 😉

Que guapo Espartaco, tiene el mismo corte que mi novio jjj 😅 Es un gusto leerte siempre nani 🫶👏

🤣😂 qué cómica eres! Me ha dado una risa tu comentario...
Gracias mi amiguita. 😘😉

I love that first photo of Spartacus. Diogenes, who was called the dog, didn't lack anything either (or so it seems). While I'm thinking about the relationship between success and charisma... I say goodbye with a see you soon.

A big hug @nanixxx.

Good morning!

Woke up a little while ago and now drinking my big mug of coffee, thinking about Diogenes... thanks to you 😉 for pointing it out. He left some thoughts worth checking out.

Diogenes no tenía que chapear el patio ni lavar ropa ni cocinar...jajaja... Estoy tratando de animarme a ver si logro hacer las tres tareas de hoy, porque ayer no hice nada, sólo pensar en Diogenes.
😄
Abrazo grande.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

That little dog 🐕 knows where to sleep and where he does not lack food. There is no doubt that they are very smart. He looks cute and doesn't look like a stray. Bravo for Spartacus you even gave him one of your nice photos. Happy Tuesday. 🎄❤️🥰🎁

Spartacus is now known in Hive. Maybe, besides me, other friends around here will come and visit him. They already know where he lives.

Besitos Mamani, pasen un día bonito. 🎄🎁

What a brilliant name for a hound LOl, love it

Yes, I thought that name was not only cool but also suits him well hahaha....

indeed

Seasons wishes to you xx

All my best wishes to you, too. May you have a very nice few days. A hug, @grindle. ☕

cheers @nanixxx big hugs for you too, hope you had a good xmas

It does have presence and charisma, how many things one wonders with just one detail. It's her life... will chocolate make her sick? Maybe. But he looks calm in his environment.

I want biscuits, I love that one! Bring him a sweet next time!

I'll take him some meatballs and something else that isn't sweet or chocolate. It makes me feel bad to give him something he shouldn't eat, even though I know he gets all that stuff there. 😊💆🏻‍♀️

You are right, I would do the same!

Network of cafés for cyclists? Annotated in Buhito's notebook of ventures 🦉

Ask Spartacus if he wants an HelaBuhito and I'll bring it to him 🦉 (free)

😂 do you want to be my partner in that business? Imagine... With a decoration alluding to the theme of bicycles. Even ways for cyclists to set up a table with their own bikes. Sale of energy bars, energy drinks to give the cyclists wings, chill out music...There is also a shop and a small workshop in case your bike is broken or in need of maintenance while you enjoy your coffee. All at affordable prices.

🕶️👌🏻

Seguramente él toma helado. Porque ya con lo que sabemos que come...

I like everything you propose, when do we start? 🦉

Mira ese negocion jaja seria un paraiso y Buhito puede hacerles un show emplumado 😂

🤣 Tenemos que planificarlo bien. No podemos perdernos en los detalles jajajaja...

Feliz Navidad, salud, amor y mucha abundancia deseo para ustedes. 🌟

Feliz navidad para ti tambien, que todas tus metas se cumplan y estes bendecida con mucha salud, alegria, paz y amor 🦉❤️ Buhito y yo te deseamos lo mejor 😘

🤗 Gracias!

Spartacus is undoubtedly a very special dog and also very lucky because everyone takes care of him and gives him love. I found the chocolate thing very curious. A nice post.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Excellent day.

Spartacus is teaching us a few lessons here, don't you think? Hahaha

Best regards and happy day to you, @rinconpoetico7. 🎄🎁

Everything depends on charisma! It looks like he has bags of it :OD

Hahahaha... He can even share out what he has left over. I will stay close by. 😅

Yes, they say chocolate will poison dogs, so Spartacus is strange.
Your story and photos are so beautiful. It made me smile:)))

That's how my life goes... and it makes me think about silly things that are sometimes quite serious.
