Life as Cork


I think I finally understand what Cork feels like when I talk to her. She does that cute lab head tilt with her ears all perked up. I always think she looks like she wants to listen and she is trying her best but she just can’t understand what I’m asking her do to. Sure part of it is because I am talking to my dog like she actually understands full sentences such as use your brain, did you do this, or when you get sick after eating all the leaves in the hallway I am not going to feel sorry for you. Well, for the past two days I have been Cork (only not nearly as adorable) and my new Italian friends are me. I really am trying to understand what they are saying whether it is at dinner, trying to find an apartment, or trying to understand a passionate debate about the tax treatment of the sale of an Italian subsidiary (yes I was actually trying to understand what they were saying), but I just can’t. Sure I can pick up a few words here and there but I am pretty much like a yellow lab wishing I could figure out what was really going on!
