Casi Llega Nuestro Perrito, Albert




Andamos aquí como que vamos a parir ... un bebé de cuatro patas y cubierto de "pelo."

No les he contado que decidimos comprarle un perrito a nuestro hijo. Dentro de una semana llega el mentado, Albert, un canino medio Caniche y medio Labradora. Mijo esta lleno de anticipación y cuenta los días en el calendario... y su papi y yo? Rezamos que el perro hypoalergénico sea un nuevo miembro en la familia.

Labradoodle puppies at 5 weeks
Haciendo fila!
Waiting in line.
Como no tiene hermanos, mijo necessita un amigo, un compañero. Tiene mucho pediendo un perro, "sabiendo" que esta alérjico a ellos. No le importa -- los ama. Tanto que tiene su cama inundada de perros de peluche, de todos colores y tamaños. Hasta tiene uno de pila que respira que mi mama le regaló antes de irse a California.

HOW TO RAISE THE PERFECT DOG by Cesar Millan
Necessito comenzar leer este libro
I need to start reading this book.
Nuestra situación esta un poco complicada. No se sí les he contando, pero mijo tiene varias alergias a la comida (huevos, leche, nueces, soya, rez ... )  y medioambientales (polen, moho ...) y tambien tiene asma. Hasta tuvimos que encontrarle comida al perro que no le hará daño a mijo en caso que el perro lo lambiera. ¡Que nervios! A pesar de todo, tenemos fe. Una voz me dice que todo va salir bien.

Ay les contare nuestras aventuras. No sabemos lo que nos espera. : )

(Me disculpo de no haber blogueado mucho las ultimas semanas, pero he estado un poco estresada con la escuela. Espero regresar pronto a un horario mas normal. Los extraño.)

Puppy Supplies
We're running around here as if we're getting ready to give birth ... to a four-legged baby covered with fur (well, actually, hair).

I haven't shared with you that we decided to buy our son a dog. Within a week, the dog known as "Albert," a Poodle-Labrador Retriever mix, arrives home. Our son is filled with anticipation and is counting the days on the calendar ... his dad and I? We're praying the hypoallergenic dog will be an addition to our family.


Since our son doesn't have any siblings, he needs a friend, a companion. He been asking for a dog for a while, "knowing" that he's allergic to them. He doesn't care -- he loves them. So much so, that his bed is inundated with stuffed dogs, all colors and sizes. He even has one that breathes and is  battery-operated that my mother gave him before leaving for California.

Our situation is a little complicated. I don't know if I've shared with you, but our son has several food (eggs, milk, nuts, soy, beef ... ) and environmental (pollen, mold ... ) allergies, in addition to asthma. We had to go as far as to find food for the dog that wouldn't harm our son in the event the dog licked him. Talk about nerves! In spite of all this, we have faith. A little voice is telling me everything with turn out fine.

Adventures to follow. : )

(I apologize for my irregular blogging the last few weeks, but I've been a little stressed-out with school. Finding peace in reading. I hope to return to a more regular schedule, soon. Miss you.)

  3. Thank you, Tara! Estamos enamorados for sure. Yes, this dog has actual HAIR, which is what makes him hypoallergenic. They don't shed. What we didn't expect was learning that the dog is going to be getting a haircut as often as I have my roots dyed. Doh! Abrazos a ti tambien. : )

  4. Tracy, gracias a ti! Thank you for your kind words. I've missed Spanish Friday, Amiga. Having a weekly prompt was so helpful to me. I don't want to fall out of the habit if I can help it. The puppy will be a celebrity. A ver como nos va. Te mando un abrazo!

  5. I am sure the puppy will be as well-behaved as any of Cesar's triumphs. All they need is a big heart and a firm hand, like any other baby.

  6. Albert has got to be one of the cutest puppies ever, Ezzy! Hope you are all getting more sleep this weekend :) And please don't tell my children that he is hypoallergenic...that's been my excuse as to why we don't have a puppy. I had trouble keeping plants alive after they were born & don't want to push my luck ;P Congrats on your new addition, amiga. Albert is one lucky pup to get such a wonderful famlia!

  8. I promise not to tell your kids. But he's been true to the label and completely hypoallergenic. *lol* We've called in the artillery for this cute little fur ball. He's under my chair at the moment going to town on the shoes I just kicked off and just yesterday brutalized the poor plant in my husband's office. It's been like having another baby in the house We're having fun (and losing sleep). : D
