I laughed so hard that I cried reading the article of my friend Jessica. She is describing so well our apartment and its surrounding that I have no other choice that to put her article. Hope you like it as much as I did.

“While I’m at it, I’ll take a moment to describe my new living conditions. I stay in a small apartment with two beds, a great bathroom and little kitchenette. The kitchenette has a microwave, toaster oven and mini-fridge. I think I can make anything with that equipment.

Every day I come and go from the house, I am greeted by a ‘welcoming committee.’ Doña Romy and her husband have two dogs that are super cute…when they are sleeping. I love animals, especially dogs. It saddened me greatly when I received a phone call from my mom letting me know that our dog, Bo, had been put to sleep after 13 wonderful years of being a part of our family. That being said, I was initially overjoyed that the family had pets—until I actually met those two ‘pets.’

These two enormous, man-eating rottweilers stay penned up all day and furiously bark and try to jump over the fence every time someone enters the gates. Doña Romy has assured me that these two bundles of joy have never escaped and that they can’t. I don’t believe it for a second. I have not once entered the gate and not felt my adrenaline and heart rate sky rocket. We chaperones scurry from the house to the gate as quickly as possible and usually appoint someone to walk out there first and open the gate so the others have a clear exit. I’m sure it is quite the scene from the house as we fumble around nervously try to get the gate unlocked to get out. Heaven help me if I ever drop anything close to their cage. It’ll be like a scene from the Sand Lot. It’s a big day when the dogs are sleeping as I’m leaving…
