Alazán

My favorite phrase is easily contains the word enojar(se) which means, to become mad. It is used almost daily because of Alazán, our dog. He usually becomes angry when someone makes his bed (aka fixes his blanket) - he has to scratch the blanket, sniff it, and has this whole fit, that usually results in tears streaming from my eyes and him sitting angelically (really) on his newly destendida cama (untended bed). Here is a video of his fit.

This dog is the owner of the house, and we always say he is the best looking dog in the house. While this is right, as he is the only dog in the house, he is the Miss Priss too. Naturally we must feet him and walk him and pet him, for if not, he becomes enojado, at which point he makes us "angry" and then we always break out the phrase that "Estoy enojada con Alazán" or "Alazán está enojado", for one reason or another.

We're not really mad at him, and he isn't really mad at us. Even if he were, Eduardo informed me today that dogs too get get Alzheimer's, and that Alazán probably doesn't remember why he is mad. After all, when he's done messing up his bed and puts on the "holy curtain", he looks as though he has no idea what he just did...

so he sits down and sleeps. Again.

 More or less the Holy Curtain

And I had no idea this guy had enough in him to JUMP up to my bed, but he did! He had a bath on Saturday and this happened on Sunday, so I didn't mind... until he farted. Then he was out. And now he is banned.
