Welcome Bagel to the osakwe household.
So this saturday was unlike every other for Chiaki and I. Around 10:30am, we got up with intentions to have the laundry done, eat breakfast, watch some HBO show, nap for about 3-4 hours, wake up either go the gym or study before talking about Dinner. I called to cancel an appointment with an accountant for tax preparations, we did get the laundry prepped and dropped off some dry cleaning and then decided to hunt for breakfast. We initially stopped by Sables on 78th and 2nd avenue to get our seafood favorite, lobster salad with tasters, and then ventured up to Lexington and 77th for salad from “Pick a Bagel”. Once we got up to Lexington, we hit up the salad bar and got fixed, the waitress so kind of slow, took like 10 minutes to process my credit card, then we decided to grab soup on Lexington and 78th. Now this is when things get interesting. Half way between 77th and 78th on Lex was a Pet Store called “Pets on Lex”. So we decided to peep around for some puppies, something that we had planned on once when I finished school and when Chiaki finished her CFA exams. While in the pet store, we spotted a dock leaf bulldog puppy. We asked one of the store employees if we get in a closer proximity of the pup and that was all she wrote. She (the pup) started jumping on us and literally put my finger in her mouth. I was intrigued by her bullish characteristics, ugly grin with genuine eyes, her palate was so soft too, she was extremely friendly and immediately started jumping at me. Chiaki fell love too and asked “can we keep her?” and so we brought her home, making our current family of 2 Cats, Lilo and Moshi, and now her. We were a bit slumped on what to name her, some names we thought of was Haru, Patch, Chloe, J, Eve . Even my nephew, Jason, suggested that we make use a name that composes of our individual suggestions… But we decided that we call her “BAGEL”. why Bagel, cause we initially went to get food from “Pick a Bagel” and ended up getting a pup. Therefore, that seem to be the best choice.. So.. “Welcome BAGEL, our new addition to the osakwe family. We will see how long this lasts
