Feliz lunes! We're continuing our pet features this week, featuring Dr. Hale's dog Laika, a stylish little chihuahua mini-pinscher mix who loves sweaters and bow ties!

[Kansas State Spanish @kstatespanish]

Dr. Faber's dog, Orfeo, is a Xoloitzcuintli (Xolo, or Mexican Hairless Terrier), named after the dog in Umanmuno’s “Niebla”. In Aztec culture, Xoloitzcuintles guided souls on their journey to the underworld. Frida Kahlo had several Xolos, and they even appear in her paintings!

More pets! Dr. Bender has two dogs, a pitbull named Lucy (who sometimes visits the office!), and Ava, who was supposed to be a "chihuahua mix" adopted from the shelter. Unlike Cheesestick, they are not bilingual; and they don't have matching accessories like Piñata & Coquí 🤣

Today marks Mexico and Central American Independence Day celebrations (since 1821)! Stop by Café Olé (2-3pm) to try some Mexican pastries and chat with this week's hosts, Dr. Courbou & Francisco! 2nd Floor EH Lounge!

Dr. Kanost's cat, Cheesestick or Mr. Cheese, helps supervise her translation projects and zoom meeting - he even answers to the name Güero, so maybe he's learning Spanish, too!?
