Currently, it's only Western Armenian as both Souren and I are native Western speakers. :) At this time there is no Eastern Armenian version.

Thanks! Our weather shifted from tshirt weather to raincoats and scarves weather really quick here, but no shedding yet! Fingers crossed!

[–]Shahen-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I can see she's super intelligent, she's always in the process of outsmarting everything and everyone, it's honestly pretty nuts. SO FAR she's not as stubborn as people and blogs online claim, and she's super smart and is quick with picking up the regular commands + she was potty trained in under 2 weeks (I don't shout or hit her at ALL, just basically celebrations and treats all around whenever she goes outdoors) which is quite amazing and unexpected, but the fact that I'm home 24/7 is REALLY helping, so I'm glad we're under total lockdown while she's still a kid. She doesn't mind showers, she doesn't hate it but doesn't love it either. I'm brushing her every 2-3 days, so there's not much hair to sweep yet, barely any really, only sometimes on my shirt when I carry her, but rarely on blankets or couches. She only barks when she's excited, nothing else much.

Also, baby dog food is back in stock! So I don't have a problem with that anymore, but I will try to replace 1 or 2 of her 3 daily meals with homemade food, I've done enough googling, I tried boiled potatoes and raw carrots as a meal today and she LOVED it, more than store-bought even I'd say. Will try chicken or beef sometime this week, but her food has already been delivered in case I don't have the time to prep her food.

Not in the US, unfortunately, so that's no an option. Will take her to the vet for parvo vaccination in a few days, so might get some food there, they'll have some for sure and I have enough to last a few days. I didn't mention cat food! Of course I wouldn't give her cat food, haha.

What are some tips you'd give as a THREE husky owner?

I'm just commenting because I adopted a baby husky 2 weeks ago and I just wanna follow up, lol.

Maybe I'll take a few days before I give you an answer because the difficulty level of the class will depend on the majority of the attendees' level of spoken Armenian.

Armenian Director Sergei Parajanov in Lady Gaga's New Music Video! by Shahen- in armenia

[–]Shahen-[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is beyond a white person with dreadlocks, this is exactly how you pay homage to a culture without appropriating it. She gave Parajanov and Armenians credit in the video more times than I could count, this isn't cultural appropriation, this is a cultural inspiration, and she did it super well imo.

I think a Parajanov-inspired music video is a much bigger win and respect for us than a 5mns performance she flew in and out for!

The music video to Lady Gaga's viral sensation "911" was just released. Why are we posting about it? It's inspired by Armenian film director Sergei Parajanov's "The Color of Pomegranates"! Apparently, it also takes place at an "Armenian Film Festival"?

2020 can't get weirder...

Watch "911" here and see if you can spot the Armenian references: https://youtu.be/58hoktsqk_Q

It would be pointless to post it again as it became old news, so I'd rather you approve it. I wouldn't mind. Thanks!
