More Italian Eye Candy

I promised at the start that I'd keep you updated on all the Dalmatians I met on my travels.  Well, it's been a while since my post of March 17, but please meet Ernie.  (His full name is "Ernesto.")

Ernie's mom is a journalist at RAI, which is kind of the Italian BBC.  She found Ernie 7 years ago in the countryside, not in Roma, and adopted him then.  She thinks he is around 8 years old.  Ernie's mom lived in Washington, D.C. for several years.  She worked for RAI there during that period.  Her English is excellent and -- given that we are both journalists -- she was happy to tell me all about Ernie!
