Our friend Angie has found a temporary job – pet sitting two adorable dogs. One is a Chihuahua and the other a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix. They are both complete cuties. We went over to her area today to meet the dogs, Wilson (pronounced Vilson) and Chile. We took the dogs on a walk through the park and stopped for Ellie to play on the equipment. Then we headed to the mall for a little lunch and shopping. Here in Sweden dogs are allowed pretty much in any public space except grocery stores. And if they stay in the basket under a stroller they can even go in the grocery stores. It really surprises me when I pass a dog in the mall or store. Most of the dogs here seem really well behaved. You seldom hear barking or see a dog running loose. Dogs are also very expensive to have. The initial cost of the two dogs Angie is taking care of was 25,000 SEK or about $3,500 US. The pet food and supplies are also fairly expensive. So the answer to Ellie’s question is no…we can’t get a dog in Sweden.
We found a toy store in the mall today. Ellie who is all about Christmas this year saw a pram in the window, just like she and baby “need” for Christmas. We went in to take a look. Wow, this toy is so close to the real thing, just in miniature. It is convertible to a sit up stroller and even has the same suspension. It also comes with a large price tag 899 SEK or $130 US. Ellie told paci and bath baby all about the new laydown stroller they are getting for Christmas when we got home. I hope Santa thinks Ellie has been good this year.
