🖤 THE LOSS 🖤

And what is it like to lose your pet?

For me, who has not had any children (at least that I know of… 😅), losing Manuela, Markos, Mastín, Max,…. was, in a word:

RIPPING.

That’s right, with capital letters. Because she wasn’t «just a pet.»
She was family. A companion. Part of my soul.

And if you don’t have animals, I respect that.
But don’t minimize the pain of those who do.
Don’t say «it was just a dog» or «just a cat.»
Because for many of us… they were EVERYTHING.

We live seeing deaths every day on TV.
Hundreds of people, in wars, tragedies…
And we keep on eating.
We have become hardened.
We have become accustomed to it.

But when you lose the one you love -even if it has four legs-
…it breaks you.
It leaves you with a silence that screams every day.

🎧 Yesterday I found this song.
Created with AI. Not officially released yet.
But it’s already a gem.
A song that hurts. That says it all without saying it all.

🔗 Listen to it here

If you have loved an animal, it will touch your soul.
And if not… maybe it will help you understand us a little more. 🐾

Of course, here you have the lyrics organized in stanzas, to make it easier to read and understand:


I built our home with bleeding hands
Laid each brick with love and plans
You were my light, my reason why
Now I just talk to an empty sky

I’m still waiting at the door
Where your laughter lived before
Every night I whisper low
«Come back home, don’t let me go»
But silence is all I know


You wore your cap, I fixed your tie
Watched you chase your dreams and fly
I gave you wings, I stayed behind
But now you’re gone, and so is time

I’m still waiting at the door
Where your footsteps touched the floor
Even pain begins to fade
But the love, it always remained
Still alone, still afraid


I don’t need much, just one more day
To hear you call, to hear you say
That I remember who you are
But wishes don’t go that far

So I sing here on the stage
Old and tired, full of ache
Not for gold, not for fame
Just to call out your name

Still waiting
Still the same


literary translation according to IA


I built our home with bleeding hands
I laid every brick with love and plans
You were my light, my reason for being
Now I only speak to an unanswered sky

I’m still waiting at the door
where your loose laughter used to live
Every night I whisper softly:
«Come home, don’t leave me alone»
But silence is the only thing I know.


You put on your cap, I adjusted your tie
I watched you chase your dreams on silver wings
I gave you wings, I stayed behind
But now you’re gone… and time is going away

I’m still waiting at the door
Where your footsteps brushed the dead carpet
Even the pain is starting to fade
But love… it doesn’t want to leave
I’m still alone, I’m still afraid


I don’t need much, just one more day
To hear you call, to hear you maybe
To say you still remember who I am
But wishes don’t go that far, today

So I sing here, on the stage
Old, tired, with my soul in calvary
Not for gold, not for fame
Just to shout your name with my soul

I’m still waiting
I’m still the same


From MasTorrencito we wish you a good day and may your dogs be with you!!!!

🌿 Sustainability, wellbeing and a pet-friendly spirit at Mas Torrencito
At Mas Torrencito, we understand sustainability as something inseparable from the wellbeing of people… and their dogs. We live surrounded by nature and share our space with animals every day, so caring for the environment is not an option: it is part of our way of life.

For this reason, we are committed to a model of conscious, efficient and deeply pet-friendly rural tourism, where technology, respect for the environment and living alongside pets go hand in hand.

☀️ Solar energy produced on site

We have a photovoltaic installation consisting of:

🔹 72 solar panels
🔹 Individual panel power: 450 W
🔹 Total installed capacity: ~32.4 kWp

Thanks to the high level of solar radiation in the Empordà, this system allows an estimated annual production of between 50,000 and 55,000 kWh, covering a very significant part of the accommodation’s energy consumption.

➡️ A large part of the energy used to heat water, light the rooms and provide comfort for guests and pets is generated directly at the farmhouse.

🔋 Batteries to make the most of every ray of sunshine

Solar energy is complemented by an energy storage system with:

🔹 40 kWh in batteries
🔹 Use of surplus energy
🔹 Use of self-generated energy during the night

This allows us to:

reduce dependence on the grid,
minimise consumption peaks,
and ensure a more stable energy supply, even during periods of high occupancy (when dogs and people are enjoying themselves to the fullest 🐶😄).

🌡️ Efficient thermal comfort (aerothermal system)

The climate control at Mas Torrencito is provided by aerothermal technology, a highly efficient and environmentally friendly system that offers:

lower energy consumption,
reduced emissions,
stable and comfortable temperatures all year round.

Ideal for people to feel comfortable… and for dogs to sleep peacefully, without excessive heat or cold.

💧 Responsible water use

We use greywater recycling systems, reusing water from showers and washbasins for other non-potable purposes.

In a rural setting, every drop counts, especially when there are gardens, green areas and happy dogs running around.

♻️ Recycling and responsible waste management

We promote a conscious approach to waste management through:

selective waste separation,
reduction of plastics,
responsible use of cleaning products and consumables.

All with the aim of maintaining a clean, healthy and safe environment for people and pets.

🐾 Rural tourism with meaning (and with paw prints)

Mas Torrencito is:

a rural retreat where dogs are part of the family,
a project that cares for the natural environment,
and a place where sustainability and pet-friendly values are not labels, but a daily reality.

Because we believe there is no better rural tourism than one that respects nature… and those who enjoy it on four paws 🐕💚
