Hello dear readers!
I love cultures, all different cultures. From the blow-fish flavored chew toys of my boyfriend Boss' native country Japan (that's right! Its official!) to the tough, sled-toting and seal-blubber eating huskies of the north, I am always interested in learning about what makes us dogs different and special. So, I thought I would share with you a little bit about my own Cuban-American dog culture! Cuban-American dogs tend to like the following: giving unsolicited advice, being affectionate, dancing (please click here for a demonstration), pork, beach time, and of course......playing dominoes!!!
Domines is a super fun game that you play with four people at a table. Your team member is the person sitting across from you, and let me tell you, it can get preeeetyyy high stress. As you can see in the picture below during one of our weekly domino parties, the stress is starting to get to me as I try and make my next move..I mean, look at how much I am sweating!
1 AM, 10 espressos, and countless pieces of pork later, I make my trembly next move. I think that the caffeine from the coffee is starting to get to me as my ears start to vibrate:
So for those of you readers who have not heard a Cuban accent, I thought that the Cuban take (or Cubanismos) on the below english holidays would give you a good orientation:
Halloween: Tricotri (i.e. Trick-or-Treat)
Merry Christmas: Meri Crisma
Happy New Year: Japi Nu Yier
Happy weekend everyone and buenas noches!
Love and Ham,
Jumbles

Here I am enjoying some quality beach time, also trying to see if I can spot any delicious floating sea food. |

Here I am demonstrating some affection, baby cheeks are so soft! |
Below, I am making my critical next move early on in the night, I forgot to bring my glasses to the domino party so it was kind of hard for me to see the tiles.
1 AM, 10 espressos, and countless pieces of pork later, I make my trembly next move. I think that the caffeine from the coffee is starting to get to me as my ears start to vibrate:
3 AM, phew! Finally time for bed, I have wandered home, and I can't even remember how many games I lost and how many I won! In the end it doesn't matter, because really its all about pork, coffee, companionship, and most importantly of all...talking tons and tons of crap to intimidate the other team.
