DAY 556: Dog days

Here in my Italian hometown (Casale) my friend Benedetta and her girlfriend have a dog together, it's a white golden retriever, although all of my friends say that Benedetta swapped the dog with another labrador at the park.

I think I'm in love with the little Tommy (the dog's name). When I am at Benedetta's I play with him as I never did before... in-fact I've never been excited about dogs in the past and I didn't touch them at all because I didn't want to get my hands dirty...

I know, my one was a stupid idea, but it's never too late to learn and share something with a new little hairy friend.

I think I started to cuddle Tommy because I miss Ben. When I open the door of Benedetta's house the dog jumps on me and gets really happy seeing me, I'm happy too in that moments, and I forget about how hard is this distance from Ben. Everybody should understand that this is so difficult because my story with Ben wasn't finished, we had our problems, but it wasn't finished and I left a piece of me in Australia.

I wish one day me and Ben could have a dog together as well (and my housewife dark side suggests to get big backyard too :-). Ben loves dogs, every time we saw a puppy somewhere he changed his voice using the same “soft voice” that Letizia (my Italian friend who loves dog) use when she meets a four legged friend.

I promise I won't be jealous about the dog!!! I won't be such a dick-head, even if I know I have this “Italian jealousy problem” in me :-)
