The concert was fun, thanks. Unfortunately I don't know of anyone in the
dorm responsible enough to baby-sit the dog. Dorm life is not a bastion of
responsibility. Furthermore school policy forbids leaving the dog alone in
the dorm, or asking a student to baby-sit. I don't like that policy, but I
can't fight every policy I don't like. At least my dog doesn't do anything
disruptive when left alone, just wines.
I have thought of getting a crate, but just have no room. My dorm is 200
square feet, and I simply have nowhere to put it.
