Some people don't deserve a dog

[Del Lardo]

The family that my GF Klara Au Pairs for have a Chocolate Labrador called Nutley. They have been in Canda for the last three weeks so Klara has been dog sitting and I've been visiting her in Richmond rather than her coming up to Cambridge.

When the family is at home Klara takes the boy, Jamie, to school in the morning and then walks Nutley when she gets home. When she picks Jamie up from school she takes Nutley with her. In the evening either Dennis or Heidi are meant to walk Nutley but never do. At the weekends when Klara is with me Nutley is left in the garden on his own for most of the day and let in for the evening, they hardly ever walk him or take him to the park 200m down the road (really good for dogs). They don't even throw the ball around the garden When I've been going down for the weekend I've been playing with him loads and taking him to the park and tiring him out by throwing the ball twice a day. When I leave he sits by the door for 5+ hours with his ball in his mouth waiting for me to come back





If I could look after him I would have taken him home with me last Sunday and told the family that he had run away/been stolen. I really want a dog but my work schedule means that it just isn't viable
