So my daughter is practicing her Italian on her new (rescue) dog...

It's her way of keeping up her Italian. Her husband and their son are trying to do the same. I could join them as I too studied Italian and would love to practice it by speaking it to her precious new dog but they are in faraway California.

"Chi e una brava ragazza!"

1. You can Facetime with your Granddog!

And try your Italian out on her.
Sounds like loads of fun.

2. Have you tried Skype, CT?

You can download an app for your desktop if you don't have a smartphone. Need a camera, though.

3. I'm going to see if I can. We don't have anybody to give us hands on help, unfortunately.

Hmm. Well, maybe. A neighbor who gets our groceries is on part time now with his job. He might be able to help. I'll ask.

It's a cute thing to do. She's in a loving home with a 13 year old boy who is going through a lot of questioning as he has reached puberty, so it is good for him to have a furry pal...

6. There's usually always someone here that

could help if you run into problems with it.

7. Thanks, Lars! That's great to know!

4. My daughter's first husband was French, so their dog was trained in French. nt

5. Fortunately, dogs can't carry on much conversation so a limited vocabulary in the language may

not be a bad thing. All they want to hear is the love...
