People often ask me how I am adjusting to life here in
Sweden. For the most part I would say that things have been going pretty well
thanks to a few factors. The fact that I can have a Skype call with friends and
family in California makes the world much smaller and manageable. The other
thing that I have acess to that makes my life here less isolating and more fun
is my dog Peete. He was born the day we arrived to Sweden and I feel he was
made for us. Peete never makes judgments on me because of my poor Swedish. His
only requirement of me is that I take him for a run around the lake and
that I tell him he is a good dog in both Swedish and English at least 100 times
a day just for being cute.
No matter what happens throughout the day it does not really matter as long as when I wake up the next morning I have a wonderfully good looking husband lying next to me and this little furry face at my feet. Most of the photos I have posted of Peete he has been outside, full of energy, with his ears up. I thought today I would show a side of him that only my husband and I get to see. In the morning Peete has his ears back and he is just like the cuddly puppy we picked up. Being able to see Peete in this sweet way really helps later in the day when he hits me with my own running shoes.
