Teresa's Puppy Surprise

Teresa explains why she and Joe thought the girls were ready for a new dog.

By Teresa Giudice

Hi Sweethearts!

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

It’s so weird watching Christmas when it’s nice and hot now, but as much as I love summer, Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love decorating the house, seeing my family, and spending time with my girls.

I love that you get to see so much of all of us with our families this episode! What do you think of the new women Amber, Nicole, and Teresa, so far? You know more about them than I did at this point, because I had only met them a couple of times, but I really liked them and I still do. They all have big personalities (so they fit right in with all of us!) and they have wonderful families. In my book, that’s the most important thing: loving and taking care of your family.

The way you see my brother and I and our families all getting along in this episode is the way we always were. We were always close. Everybody goes through disagreements, but we were never in a dark place like the last couple of years… I adore my niece and nephews and love spending time with them. Antonia is so beautiful and those boys just melt my heart!

We lost two dogs last year (Crystal and Maximus passed away), and they’ve been asking me for a little puppy for years. I wasn’t sure, but Gia was turning 13 so we thought she could handle the responsibility and she’s done a wonderful job. Bella is a Maltipoo. Her bed is in Gia’s room, but she takes turns sleeping with all of them. The girls have never been so excited for a present. Seeing their faces all lit up was everything to me and Joe.

Thank you all so much for your love and support! It means the world to me. Check out our new Fabellini website at www.fabellini.net, and guess what? My Fabulicious Gelato is coming out soon -- in Tahitian Vanilla, Pistachio, and Sea Salt Caramel! Visit my website for more info: www.teresagiudice.com. Love, love, love you all! 

Tanti Baci,
Teresa
