Finally

Someone who sleeps more than I do! She's not got a name as we are not sure we are keeping her. But she was a good little sleepover guest. She's so tiny and cute and is yet again sleeping! I love it! a true Spanish dog!

She's due back to the breeder tonight who has been indeed kind lending her to us. I think we are going to continue looking although it's a tough choice... but we were looking for one with a lighter face... I will meet her brother tonight when the breeder comes back to collect her. He's got a lighter face but I'm not sure we want a boy... nor if we want something bigger... but we're not so sure he's bigger... time will tell...

in the interim more pictures of her doing what she does best!



Look at the cute paws!


super tiny!

We have now adjusted ourselves and have move into sleeping dog pose number 54. Strech!!!!

i'm having the cutest sleepover ever


she's spending the night... on trust alone! The breeder is too sweet! The puppy is trying to walk on the keyboard as I type. I suppose she likes the clicking noises and the fast moving fingers... she also likes napping... she is 3 months... she's about 10inches long... and under 1kilo...she's so tiny she can't even bark yet... she squeeks!

The drill cranking monkeys...

obviously had the day off today... either that or they were on a cofee break when I was seeing the dentist. I waited for nearly 30 mins for my 11h20 apt. this morning with my CAP salud dentist. When she finally re-surfased from her coffee break that I saw her leave to take not long after I arrived... she ushered me in. I sat on the chair, she asked me to open my mouth... she looked in using one of those tiny mirror jobbies... however did NOT use that hideous pick thing which they normally prod all your teeth with hoping to find a cavity... no no, no prodding. After then 10 second visual scan of my mouth she pronounced that all was well... in fact muy bien! I apparently did not need a cleaning nor did I seem in need of any further attention.

Under 1 minute after arriving I was back out again and on my way in blissful ignorance to my actualy dental hygine status.

You get what you pay for... and this my friends... was free.

No worries. I like denial. It's what's been keeping my pearly whites just that for the past 5 years. I shall carry on just like I have been said the dentist!

Sticky toffee or jawbreaker anyone?

Sometimes some people take secret pictures...

It's just one of those secret things photographers do... I think they can't help it. I found this one... evidence of my slumber... I swear I was dreaming of red devil cupcakes with cream cheese icing...

It's pretty fab considering it was only taken from his camera phone. Kudos to you du du!

For the first time in a long time

I've had a really chill and relaxing morning. We had a very early appointment this morning but the person we were seeing was so late. I thought things were then off to a bad start... but it picked up. I had a lovely breakfast after the meeting... I forget sometimes how lovely the terrace is around the corner from my flat. It's nice to sip an iced coffee while nibbling some toast with apricot marmelade and watch all the cute puppies and people go by.

I'm obviously not in the office today as there is no computer there for me... thus my freedom! So here i set listeing to the Smith's John Peel session... Brilliant does not even begin to describe it. I highly reccomend it.

I've got a dentist appt. tomorrow morning. Usually I need a few weeks to psych myself up for such things but I just found out that heath services here include dental therefore I'm going for a checkup. I guess I've not to worry so much about the checkup it's more about if they find I have a million cavities that have developped since my last apt. It was probably close to 5 years ago... back when I had posh dental insurance while working for Chello... sigh. I'm thinking the service will be a bit less high tech for this visit.... well as long as they don't have a monkey turning the crank that powers the drill, perhaps that's a start....

Happy Canada Day!

It's hot and humid and mildly rainy here today... pretty much average Canada Day weather. It's just not the same though without the beer tents and bad bands! This year I don't even have a balcony from which to fly my mini Canadian flat... we have a terrace but we're at the back of the building and way way up so no one would see it. I'm there in spirit!

Friday night we were hunting around to find some ever elusive sundresses... they are elusive as everything here is so tiny on the bust that if you've got a broad back and anything more than a b cup you're pretty much out of luck. You can do your best to learn the language, understand traditions... but fitting into clothes in a foreign country isn't quite so easy... it's not like I'm huge but by judging some of the shops here I'm a plus plus plus size. What we did find however was a beautiful wedding dress for my sister. I know she already has one but she said it was quite informal... when we stumbled across this beautiful grecian inspired dress we just had to get it for her. I think she will love it. I hope it fits her! I would of course post a pic but I don't want to ruin the surprise for her hubby to be if she decides to wear it. The dress is jetting it's way to her as we speak in an oh so fancy dhl evelope.

Happy birthday duffy denise!!! Welcome to 31! Disfruta!

No puppy news as I had hoped... buying a puppy here pretty much adds up to the same run around routine foreigners seem to feel about all process here... you need patience and perceverance... as well as the ability to wait for many many mananas until you get something done. But it's all good. Good things come to those who wait my mum says... guess spanish people end up with LOTS of good things because we sure as hell do a lot of waiting!!!!
