La versión en español está después de la versión en inglés.

I’ll be back soon, maybe even Thursday. Dudo wanted my attention.

Volveré pronto, tal vez incluso el jueves. Dudo quería mi atención.

      Gracias. I was a bit active and noisy throughout the night. Constantly retrieving pillows from the floor. SG finally gave up and left the room.

    1. J Barlow:
      Resting up seems to be the best thing I can do… and I don’t like it.

    1. Bob:
      I do, too. Dudo gets into the wildest positions but when I grab my camera, he usually flips and stares at me.

  1. Who can resist the sirens’ call? I love the Spanish word for catnap — “siestecita” sounds so cute! Does the word “siesta” mean a human nap?

    1. Tundra Bunny:
      That was actually a new word for me. Yes, siesta is nap and the cita ending (cito, lito, lita, ito, ita) is a diminutive very commonly used here, which also can add affection or soften the meaning. The endings are added to just about anything.

  2. Dudo sounds like Izzy, my “adopted” daughter. She’s the dachshund that is so persistent and stubborn. She wakes me up every morning at five AM. And when she wants something she WANTS it. She’s 15, so I try and give her what she wants!

    1. Sassybear:
      I’m nodding my head in agreement as Moose sits outside my door demanding his next treat which isn’t due for 45 minutes.
