Odeliza Life of a US Expat in South America

Ola!

Tudo Bem? Midori our golden labrador gets a complete grooming at least once every other month. It’s not good to wash a labrador. One removes its natural oils that protect the dog from water activities. So the vet tells me…

Here is picture of Midori’s dog groomer. Fortunately, I don’t have to go to the vet’s I could just make a phone call and they’d come over to where ever I am.

Midori was not so happy about it. But she behaved well. Afterwards she smelled like roses and gummy bears. Then she romped around with a stray dog and got dirty. Oh well! At least she was shiny and clean for about 10 minutes.

Oi!

Tudo Bem? Our first home was located at Artigas, which is a main street in Montevideo, Uruguay. Often times we’d take walks to the rambla -board walk- and parque Rodo. Ever since we adopted Midori -our golden labrador- we’ve troted more often. Now, we live by the beach.

But I still like to reminisce about our earlier days at Artigas. Here are some snap shots of the main street that is closer to the Punta Carretas side.
