Heating up earth

Wow, just arrived home from a terrible day at work... (7.15 PM)
I am tired! It was 32 degrees in the shop, we don’t have air-conditioning and my god, there was a lot of work (because yesterday, there was one man short, so all the work was left for today...)
The heat is becoming a problem now. I think slowly all the companies are getting airco (well, we don’t because lack of money for that...)  
In the news yesterday they told that there would be to much ozone in the air, so everybody should take it easy. (So this is the forecasted heating of the earth?)
I guess my boss didn’t hear the news yesterday...
 
When I arrived at home, there was this dog waiting for me.  
Yes, I changed homes. I am now living in a house of friends who are on vacation. Got it for free if I took care of the animals (2 birds, 2 rabbits, a lot of fish and William, the dog.)
I always said I didn’t want a dog. Well, surely now I know why.
A dog is dependent. In the morning when you leave, it looks at you with these eyes that make you feel guilty. (Well Tibo, my cat did this once in a while, and managed few times to seduce me with this trick, but most of the times he just stayed in bed...)
And when you come home in the evening, very tired, the dog is waiting for his walk. If you ask for some more minutes to have those feet (that didn’t rest for 9 hours) cooled down, it starts barking.
So you take the thing to the dog place (they have to pee and nuts there) but it doesn’t do anything. So you go on. He starts to pee all the corners and the houses while you are scared that somebody will come out of the house to shout at you. Then, in the park he nutss... Why didn’t he do it in the dog place So you have to clean it up. You go on, and near the canal, he goes on the stairs towards the water. You think it is to drink, but no no, he just jumps into the water!!!
All the tourists in the boats are looking and laughing, but you wonder how to get the animal out of the water, since it is still on the string. Can it get out, and most of all, is this normal
Finally you can get it out of the water and you want to go home. To put it inside... At this very moment another dog passes by. The only thing you can do is pull the string. Otherwise you are sure for a nice talk with the dog owner.
I guess I am not that social as I thought I was.  
No interest at all in talking, I just wanted to have a nice quiet stroll...
Guess I wont get such a thing the next 14 days...
And I am sure I won’t get a dog the next 14 years...
 
Ps He IS a nice dog... It is just the dog thing and I...
