Just going to take a moment for my dog right now. A lot is happening for Little Min, and sorry but the internet just needs to know.
Updates on Minnie in list form:
- She can climb stairs! More specifically, the stairs outside my house, which have been dubbed “dangerous,” “awful,” and “kind of treacherous” by friends. This means that she has actually grown tall enough to be bigger than the height of one stair! So far her stair climbing record is at climbing two stairs. Yay, MIn!
- Minnie has learned to sit and to (almost) shake hands/paws on command. Thanks to the peanut butter dog treats that Sara and my mom sent down for her, she’s learning quicker than ever before.
- She has made a few animal friends. Even though Minnie acts as if everyone she sees is her friend, sometimes other dogs aren’t into playing with her. Sad. And rude. But a friend in town has a cat that she loves to play with, and another animal pal is Muneca, my neighbor’s clothes-wearing, tiny, toy-size chihuahua. BFFs.
And everyone I see regularly here asks after this dog. Co-workers, my favorite colmado workers, students, teachers, the kids and youth, my host family, neighbors. If they haven’t seen her with me for a few days they’ll say, “Y la perrita?” or “Y Minnie?” Cute. But what just may be even cuter is that two of the people who love her most are under the age of four. Here are Miguelito and Ceci hanging out with Minnie:
The other day I looked at pictures from just 2.5 months ago, and what a difference. Baby Minnie is so grown up now! Here she is back when I first got her:
little baby (& sleepy) Minnie monster <3
Not to outshine my puppy, but I’m going to redirect the spotlight onto even more amazing accomplishments - namely my sister. Sara is officially a college grad! & She graduated with honors! So proud, and Dona Dominga and Don Jose say “Felicidades!” Congratulations, Sara! :D
