I got sick the last few days so now I gotta catch up with this blog thingy again. We're also busy checking and looking for some apartments here in Gothenburg coz we need to move again soon, sigh :(. Unfortunately, it's so hard for us to find one. Seems this place doesn't have enough houses or apartments for all the people who wants to live here. Most of the apartments we saw was like too far away from the city or under our budget. We're gonna live there for like a year so I want it to be nice and accessible everywhere especially to the shops and to my school. I'm crossing my finger that we'll be able to find a perfect place soon or else I wouldn't really enjoy living in this place. hehe.

By the way, we already have a name for our puppy. Now we're calling her ''Jacki''. :) I have made up lots of reasons why. :P At first we wanted to name her, Jappy or some Japanese names since she's a Japanese Spitz but we couldn't agree about anything. Then I wanted to name her something that identifies her color. Snow white, snow, marsh mallow, all the crazy names came to my mind and I still got a NO from him. And then, since we got her when Michael Jackson died, I kept thinking of something that is related about MJ. So the name ''Jacko'' came to my mind and how I drooled for liking that name for our pet. Too bad our pet is a girl so I tried to just forget it and just think of another name. Until I've talked to my mother-in-law and she gave me some suggestions and we both laughed coz she suggested the same name, ''Jacko'' :D. So there, we twisted the name and got more ideas. From Jecka, Recca, Mecka, blah blah.. until she mentioned 'Jackie'. I haven't really thought about that name coz it's a human name for me plus, I have a friend called Jacky so I might offend her. hehe. But well, I started to like that name so who the hell cares?! :D So now, it's her official name and she's getting used to it now. She'll instantly run to us when we call her Jacki so for sure she likes it. :P

Anyways, we went out for a walk yesterday and we brought her with us while we went to check another apartment. It was soo funny how lots of people are staring at us (or just at Jacki). They all find her really cute. All the kids we saw wanted to carry her and play with her. All the people on the bus tried to get our attention and talk about our pet. It feels like we have a cute lil' baby and we are a very proud mommy and daddy. hehe.

Here's some of our pics while we are on our way home yesterday.

A nice walk with Jacki :)

One more time! :P

Smile baby Jacki! :P

She's tired..

Man's bestfriend :)

Hmm, it's been awhile since my last post due to the busy-ness and adjustments I'm going through lately. Anyways, yesterday we went to Fristad, (outside Borås) here in Sweden. Well, what we did there is just to check and see a Japanese Spitz puppy, which is going to be our pet soon. :) It took us 2 hours to get there and another 2 hours going back to our place but it was all worth it after we saw how cute the puppies are. Papa Lars is a pet lover. He grew up with lots of animals surrounding him so that's why. Be it horse, cats, dogs, etc. geezz, he's so fond of it. In his family, they treat animals just like humans. Unlike me, I grew up to where we don't really appreciate animals. For us, they were just pets. I can say that in Philippines, most people are cruel to animals. It's not that I hate pets but I'm scared of them. Or should I say I'm disgusted of them. I think they're all dirty. I don't really like touching them and I feel like they'll always bite me. Aside from that, I don't really like the responsibilities of having a pet. But Papa Lars was so persistent and tried to convince me about it. Part of it is because he badly wants to have a baby now. He's been ready long time ago while I'm not sure if I already am but I will be when the time comes. :) So I couldn't say no to him when he ask me to get a pet coz I know it's just his way of longing to have a baby. But after I said yes to him about getting a dog, we had some disagreements about what type of dog we'll get. I want a dog that is white, small and cute coz at least I wouldn't be that scared to them. While he wants a real big dog. He wanted a husky, labrador or golden retriever but he knew I wouldn't convince me to those ever. He considered getting a Jack Russel terrier instead but I still disagree about it. But one day, while we were walking around the city, we saw a woman who has this cute white dog. I felt so giggly seeing it. I told him that that's exactly the dog I want. So we asked the woman of what type of dog it is so there, she told us it's a Japanese Spitz. So right after we got home, we googled about it and there we found out how perfect it would be for us. So then we started looking for those types of puppies for sale and we're so lucky to have found one and we excitedly called the owner.

Just as we get there, to the place where the puppies are, I was all freaking out coz I didn't realize how many dogs they have in their house. It was like 9 dogs including the 6 puppies. But I was right. They're really adorable and kind. Right then, we're both sure we're gonna get one of them. Seems like I forgot my phobia with dogs when I saw them. They're all really cute so we were confuse about which to choose among 6 puppies. They all look just like babies wanting some attention. I wanted to bring one of them home that day already but too bad we couldn't yet. :( Here in Sweden, they have regulations in getting a dog. One of them is that it has to be 8 weeks old before you can actually sell a puppy or separate it from its parents. They don't sell dogs in a petshop here too. They have to stay with their parents in the house of their owners until they're ready to be sold. It's a very good policy that's why dogs here are so behave and well disciplined. The first time I got here in Gothenburg, I noticed almost everyone go for a walk with their pet dogs. So our new puppy will be 8 weeks after 7 more days so we have to go back there again to pick it up. It's a hassle but we don't have a choice. hihi.

For now, we're just waiting for our new pet and I'm sooo excited to bring her home. Yup, it's a girl so now we're also thinking and deciding for her name. We're thinking of Japanese names like Yuna which means blessing, Yumi means beauty, Yuki means snow, and some crazy english names, like marshmallow, gummibear, claudia, winter, snowie etc. (lol) but well, I'll just announce it here in my blog as soon as we've come up for anything. We already have been shopping for her bed and toys too. I'm sure she'll be like a spoiled brat puppy coz we will treat him just like our own baby. Lucky her! :D :D :D

Til' next time! :)
