A bilingual blog for a binational family.
March Madness is not only exciting for basketball fans, it is super exciting for Chupi and Chori!!!!!! Of course, they don’t actually know what is going on (proof: they are napping like champions while the Louisville Cardinals play their game against Colorado State.) Here at home we root for the Louisville Cardinals. Leslie grew up […]
One of Leslie’s biggest fears is Chupete or Choripan running away. Going out of town means losing control over the dogs for a few days, and the only way to do that and have some peace of mind is to find a great place to board them while we’re away. Luckily for us, we found […]
Even without the barrage of reminders on various social media outlets about election day, it should be pretty clear by now that it’s finally time to vote. This morning I did my civic duty and voted, and this is Javier’s last election as a non-citizen. Next time around he’ll be able to vote too! My presidential pick isn’t much […]
Every once in a while, Doggoland has the honor of receiving some of the Top Dogs of the yard, and with important personalities in the area, many dangers arise. Last time a top dog visited this part of the world, suspicious squirrels had to be pushed out of the gates, and the cardinals were not […]
Every 4 years there is an event that motivates dogs to run faster, jump higher, bark louder, and chew stronger, the Doglympics! This year, the games will be held in a dog park in London. With a landscape designed to demand the highest athletic performance from those participating, dogs all over the world are training […]
I never got a chance to write about our road trip home with my parents after Jennifer and Daniel’s wedding in Birmingham but it was a pretty fun time! So here goes. On Sunday morning we decided to make a couple of “must do while in Birmingham” stops. I mentioned before that my dad spent […]
Yesterday was Choripan’s birthday! It was also national puppy day which is perfect because he was one of the two cutest puppies ever (the other being Chupete, obviously). Choripan was an unplanned puppy – his adoption story is a pretty good one. Last May, Chupete lost his tags while going crazy playing with some other […]
It’s that time of the year where everyone is a basketball coach, basketball expert, statistician, physical trainer, psychic, mind reader and prophet. Yes….it’s March Madness! For those out of the country or unfamiliar with the term, “March Madness” refers to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament where 68 college teams play for the National Championship during […]
I just had to post this quick video of Choripan trying to rescue Javier from despair. Javi does this thing where he gets on the floor and covers his head and starts fake crying and wherever Choripan is in the house, his ears instantly perk up and he comes running to find Javi, then weasels […]
It would have bothered me if I didn’t put at least something on the blog on Leap Day since we won’t have another chance until 2016! I haven’t had the chance to write anything all day because I’ve been working on midterm papers* and by the time I finished my self-inflicted work quota for the day I […]
