Well this week we got an e-mail from our apartment rental agency in Rome informing us that our reserved apartment had sustained internal damage (fire? water? they didn’t say) and was not currently available for occupancy. They offered us an alternative apartment that usually rents for 40 euros more a night at the same rate. […]

After finding out that Smokey died from Parvo, we expressed interest to the adoption agency in his sister. We wanted to wait about two weeks for several reasons.
