My First Asado

Just got home from my first asado!!!! What a puppy paradise... There was meat and sausage of so many varieties that everyone tried to feed me, and of course the requisite Argentine beer selections of Quilmes and Stella Artois, as well as a nice malbec from Rodas. I wonder if all asados have such tasty food. Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Mati hosted this asado in honor of Bonnie's brother Morgan coming to Buenos Aires for a visit before they moved to New Zealand. If only we had a parilla at home I would make my dads have asados instead of brunches, but I guess we will just have to be more WASPy than Argentine for now.

Also, in addition to my first asado, I got to meet my first cat! Her name is Polly and she lives in Aunt Bonnie's apartment (the only truely permanent resident). We didn't really get along - but apparently that is to be expected since they say that things fight like cats and dogs. To my great surprise Aunt Bonnie bet against me in a fight against Polly (her brother Morgan, rightly, chose to back me); luckily it never really came to a fight since really all I ever want to do is play, but lets just say Polly knows who is boss now...

New Toys... Never Enough...

I have been having some trouble recently with my toys... Mr Panda has been held hostage in Rosario, and Mr Bunny is nowhere to be found. As my teeth continue to grow (along with the rest of me) I am chewing and chewing my way through all of the temporary replacement toys. Of course Mr Puppy is still holding down the fort, and Mr Panda and Mr Bunny are going to be back soon, I hope. However, I finally put my paw down and got some new toys!!! My favorite is my new rainbow colored ball. The ball I had before is now more like a hemisphere because I chewed it so much. Of course my Dads are always looking for new and interesting toys for me and suggestions of places here in Buenos Aires to find them!

Oops I did it again...

Oops I did it again, I made a mess of the apartment... Dad said that there was no more powder in the bottle, so I could play with it. I guess I proved him wrong! After I proved my point the bottle got washed out and now I am using it as one of my regular toys (although I may have almost destroyed it by now...) I am looking forward to getting some new toys soon though since I am chewing my way through the old ones... Anyone have any ideas? Leave a comment below!

I have been very busy...

Sorry for being so bad about writing for the past few weeks... as you can see I have had a lot of drafts but just nothing to publish yet. I am working on my review of several Buenos Aires restaurants, as well as some art criticisms from Gallery Night, and of course all things fashion for the four-legged! Keep posted, I promise they will be up by the weekend...

Mr Panda FOUND... Safe and Sound!

Only a couple hours into our trip home, probably the saddest of my life, and finally some news of Mr Panda... He has been FOUND!!! I am so relieved to know that he is safe and sound in Rosario. I was really worried that my cousin Hannah might have eaten Mr Panda, since she has recently acquired a taste for exotic plush foods (having devoured three furry legs of Zoe's Ms Octopus just last week). I felt a little reassured that there were no squeaks coming from her belly when we left. Mr Panda is not quiet, and would have made plenty of noise if he had been eaten alive. Instead I think that Zoe hid Mr Panda from me - although nothing has officially been proven. However I am just so happy to know he is ok and that hopefully Mr Panda will come home to Buenos Aires soon.

Mr Panda is LOST - Has anyone seen him?!?!

I am packing up to leave Rosario for Buenos Aires and I can't find Mr Panda anywhere!!! I have a sneaking suspicion that my cousin Zoe has stolen him in order to get back at me for playing with her toys this weekend. If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of my dear dear Mr Panda please let me know. Buenos Aires will be so lonely without Mr Panda - and I have finally gotten strong enough to squeak him...

New YouTube Videos

Mister Bunny Photos

As promised I am getting pictures up of my toys... Though I haven't done an inventory yet I am still hunting for a lot more. My favorites also seem to be the most destructible - so they don't last long enough to have their photo taken. These include paper-towel rolls, toiletpaper rolls, milk bottle tops, accounting paper spools, and (for dessert) dulce de leche tops. Mr. Puppy has been in one of my YouTube videos and Mr. Panda was already discussed so here is Mr. Bunny. He is my favorite because I can play with his ears until my jaw gets strong enough to squeak him. If you have any suggestions about pet stores or doggie boutiques please let me know so my dads can get me more toys!!!

Munch Munch Munch

I am loving my new teeth... I can't find enough things to chew on! My dads have been trying to find me all the best toys and other doggie goodies. So far, though, my favorite is the top of the milk bottle. We live in Recoleta and as of now we know about the following places for me to find toys

Amores Perros
Amor Animal
Bien Fifi
Canine Couture
CentroPet
Pets and Glam
Puppis

If you have any other suggestions my dads would love to know about them! Post it in the comments section, send me a message on twitter, or email me...
