Another dog?

Honestly, I am not adopting another dog. But I keep checking blogs and website about rescued dogs and my heart is breaking. I wish I could adopt another dog. I wish I had the space, the time, the money to give him/her a beautiful life. But I have not and it hurts me. And so I turn to lucky Batman, we might not be the best owners ever, but still, we saved him from what could be a very awful life... we were very lucky to have him too. He is just the perfect dog. Love him to bits. Love him, love him, love him.
Anyway, have put on my links a couple of blogs of people devoting their life to saving animals, just in case anyone wants to give it a go...

E vale la pena in italiano. Ho linkato dei blogs di persone che si occupano di animali randagi e/o abbandonati, magari qualcuno è interessato a dare una mano!!! E' linkato, ovviamente, anche il canile di Desenzano, dove abbiamo adottato Batman. Pensateci!!!

English Class

Almost everyone we met in Egypt spoke English. And of course I am not a mother tongue either, but I find extremely funny these kind of spelling mistakes... am not taking the piss, honestly, I think it's a natural development of a language (English) that is spoken worldwide, with loads of different accents. But unfortunately, and surely due to my academic education, I am a strong supporter of words like colOUr, theatRE, organiSe and similar (so I guess Americans would not love me very much) and do find these mispellings hilarious.
And now, everyone please be free to underline all the mistakes I made in this post... ;)

BATMAN!


Here's lovely (and crazy) Batman! He's been with us for more than a year now and we love him to bits. Neither of us had ever had a dog before, so it was a real Adventure!
Batman is a rescued strayed dog. He was found on a street aged more or less one and brought to a Dog Rescue Center, from where we got him. Either he is very very clever, which we know he is anyway, or he was living in a family before, as he had to undergo very little training with us: he did not need anything to be told twice! For sure he was beaten, probably with a stick, as he is still very scared of the broom and the mop. He is also quite scared of wind and we cannot actually make out why. He loves human contact and running! He is very good at retrieving objects, again it wasn't much effort to teach him. All in all, he is the perfect dog, does not bark (I swear, he probably does it once in a month or so...), does not chew things in the house, is very clean, loves all other dogs and is particularly fond of cats (but they do not usually return his love...), is terrific, very tender and affectionate, with children.
With this post we want to thank again the fabulous pepole at the canile Intercomunale di Desenzano del Garda (BS), where we adopted him.
