Reconozco que yo tenía mis reservas, sobre todo porque no tenía muy claro como Ciro (mi hijo el peludo, como lo llama mi madre) se lo iba a tomar. No tenía miedo de que se pusiera agresivo con ella ni mucho menos, Ciro es el perro más bueno del Universo (impresionante la paciencia que siempre ha tenido con mis tres cachorros humanos, tela mis cachorros), pero ya va teniendo una edad, y a el lo que le gusta es la paz, la tranquilidad y no tenía muy claro que eso de tener en su hogar un cachorro hiperactivo advenedizo con ganas de jugar a todas horas le fuera a molar estupendamente (no olvidemos que el llegó el primero, antes de los niños e incluso antes que yo!).
I confess I had my qualms about having a new puppy, specially as I was not too sure of how Ciro (my furry son as my mum calls him) was going to take it. I was not scared that he was going to attack the puppy or something similar, Ciro is the kindest dog in the Universe (the patience he has always shown with my three "human puppies" has always been incredible, and my kids are of the restless kind), but he is getting on in years, and what he really likes is peace and quiet, and I was not too sure if having a hyperactive upstart puppy chasing him to play at all time was going to be to his liking (after all, he was here first, before the kids and even before me!).

El resultado de momento ha sido mejor de lo esperado, Ciro directamente, evita a la perrita. Además, como el es el perro Senior, tiene acceso a toda la casa y el cojín grande de delante de la chimenea es suyo. La perrita, como todavía es cachorrita y está en esa etapa maravillosa en la que se intenta comer todo lo que pilla y además nos va dejando regalitos del tipo asqueroso por toda la casa, sólo puede estar en unas zonas determinadas. Así que de momento, entre la división de zonas y los mimos extra que le estamos dando, Ciro sigue siendo el rey.
So far, things are going better than expected, Ciro avoids the puppy altogether. Besides, he is the Senior dog, so he has access to the whole house and the big plump cushion in front of the fireplace is his and his alone. The puppy is still little and is currently in that wonderful phase in which se tries to chew/eat everything that comes her way, plus, she keeps on leaving yuck presents (aka pooh and pee) all over, so she has limited access to the house and is only allowed in a few rooms. So, up to now, with the distinct dog zones in the home and the extra pampering we are giving him, Ciro still feels like the king of our home.

Os dejo con estas fotos que le hice el otro día, le hice como 15 fotos y en todas salía guapísimo, en cambio a la perrita le hice como 20 y como es tan nerviosa y se movía tanto, salieron todas fatal y sólo pude utilizar una!
I'll leave you with these photos I took the other day of Ciro, I took about 15 pics of him and he looks gorgeous in all of them. I also took about 20 of the puppy and they were all terrible, she is so nervous she would not stop moving, so I was only able to use one of them!
