My Brother’s New Puppy [Expressão: work cut out for you]

My brother David bought a little puppy (a shih tzu – see video below) recently and it will be arriving at his house on Friday.

• puppy = filhote (de cachorro)
• it will be arriving = “estará chegando” (“Gerundismo” é comum e correto em inglês. 😉 )

We were talking about how much work little puppies are. They have to be “potty trained”. They bite shoes. They require a lot of love and attention. And they make a lot of mess!

• how much work = quanto trabalho
• potty trained = treinados para “usar o banheiro” no lugar correto
• bite = morder
• require = exigem
• mess = bagunça

David sure has his work cut out for him!
