We fostered another one today.. A little baby 8 weeks old . We took Hugo for a long walk with lots of breaks for him.
He was soooooo cute . Completely different personality than other puppy. Was shy and wanted to be in our arms most the time. Just wanted to cuddle. Hardly would walk but we trained him to like it. And we figured out he loved his bag they give you at the kennel to hold his stuff and he would chase after it on the beach and wanted to hop in the bag and have us carry him often. What a sweetie.
He also liked drinking water alot but not so much his little treats. Sometimes he would just stop and refuse to budge . And when we would take breaks he would take little naps and power snoozes and fall asleep within 30 seconds ( like hubby !! )
He was another chick magnet for my husband . Woman after woman in little bikinis would be swarming after this puppy. I am telling you if you are single get a puppy men !!!
We kinda fell in love a little today with Hugo but also felt a little relived to give him back too. Hard work!! Could never go in ocean together . Was super fun to have these two experiences with puppies. Will help us make our decision about getting a dog for our family. We decided by valentines day ( february 14 2016) we will have a final yes or no.
This is a BIG decision and we want to make the right and responsible one.
We got back to our beach chairs today and missed both Hugo and meh-meh. Would have loved to see our girl walking these adorable pups.She would be in dog heaven
Believe it or not today we walked a total of 4.5 hrs !!!! Part with puppy and part without . Lots of breaks but left condo at 9:30 am and back at 3pm with a stop for the best lunch ever . Second time at a turkish resto called turks kebab and their chicken curry pitas and fries are to die for. For some reason made me think of my Dad as he was from Trinidad and loved this type of food that i missed out on being a kid ( apparently i insisted on peanut butter only !! ) ps until the age of 20 yrs old .
For some reason today eating that curry wrap i wished I had the type of Dad I could have walked as a girl growing up hand in hand with. I wish we could have been the type of father/daughter duo to have eaten curry together. Usually I try my hardest to not let myself think these thoughts but sometimes I just let them in. Like today. It seems easier to wish I had not wasted my palette on peanut butter for so long.
Today was a phenomenal day with the most gorgeous sunset ever at night with a bright pink sky. Tonight massages on the terrace and homemade hamburger steak and fries .
Checked email tonight too and felt the pressure of next week of course and returning home soon . We leave monday ..
Something in particular about this trip is really relaxing. For once it seems we have not a care in the world . Our biggest worry is how to get back here one day!! I have never worried less about the kids .. Between my mom and the kid's own autonomy at this stage it feels worry free. In the last two years especially I am not sure we have had many worry free times. We still have stuff to worry about but seems like we have learnt to cope much better with what is there.
We still totally pay for leaving big time when we get back though as the kids still want to run the show of course. But it is so worth it
Bye Hugo and Saturn ! Was amazing taking care of you and really gave us a good idea of what having a puppy is like. Along with Buddy and Coco to come and visiting Reggie, we will have all we need to make an informed decision by Valentines day!
