Perrijo/Perrija = Fur Baby

The Spanish word for dog is perro and the Spanish word for son is hijo and a lot of people are using the term perrijo now to mean you know your little fur baby. Oh, that’s so cute, a little fur baby, right?

My perrito is named Osito.

Oh, you have a little bear.

I do.

I’ve seen bear.

He is the handsomest devil I’ve ever met.

Oh, I’ve never met him, actually.

The man deserves to be, like, bronzed.

He is a very attractive dog.

I like to say, who needs elf on a shelf when you have bear on a chair just watching everything?

He’s very cute.
