The Dog gets us in Trouble

This past Monday was a national holiday here in Italy, Independence Day. I am not so knowledgeable about world history but think this had to do with Italy’s independence from the Nazi’s during WWII. Do not quote me on this.

We spent the weekend looking at appliances and designing a kitchen at Ikea. The kitchen design process was a real hassle but we wanted an instant kitchen and Ikea was the quickest way to go. While running all these errands we leave the dog at home as we have many times before and on an especially warm day, I left the terrace door open. Big mistake; we got calls on Demetrio’s cell phone asking when we were coming home because the dog was barking and neighbors were complaining. We hurried home to a not too nice note on my laptop. I quickly went downstairs to smooth things over with the manager. To make a long story short, they don’t want us to leave the dog alone at all from now on. Today I attend classes and we’ll see how the dog does on a 45 min. one way bus ride and 4 hours of class time.
