A few more from today before I go off to siesta land. Tomorrow is Gubbio and Cortina. Non vedo l’ora di andare! That is keep @HAH on her toes with the Google Translate.

Weeee, what a day! We are in our leeeetle Airbnb near Cortona tonight after another big driving day. ML says it was so far down the motorway for only three days which is estupido, but I think it was a great plan because I got to meet so many nice people. Today I sat on the laps of two guapa...

ML here: You know, I’d like someone to do that for me too! 😆

Currently top modelling in Pienza!

YOU are the most poetic Señorita ever, and your Castellano is magnificent. I am in love. ❤️ Pues, we already knew that based on your sweet potato treats. Que rico! But now I think I may need to adopt you as my new ML. You are clearly superior to my old one. I keeeed, I keeed. I have spent to...

Aye carumba, was that ever a very long drive. 8 hours ! And now we are in an ugly apartment with a lumpy bed. Fingers crossed, amigos, that tomorrow is a leeetle cheerier. Dios mio, that is a very green bathroom. I was almost put off my dinnner. Ja, ja, just keeeeeding. We Labradors are never...

Muchas gracias, querida Señora Jac. ❤️

ML taking over as Carbón is asleep. 😉 it’s nasty biting, though no blood drawn. She does go right for his poor face. It started with his legs, but now…the face. She seems to adore him and then immediately switch to aggression. It could be that I talk to him, or just that he wags his tail. I...

Dios mio, lo siento mucho, I am very sorry that ML and I have been quiet lately! I have been working hard to keep her spirits up and also to teach Señorita Maja that my face is not her personal tooth pin cushion. I am happy to say that we had two more overnight adventures that while not...

Now I have had a big trip to the vet with a shot and a blood draw. What a day it has been, and I need a nap. Pues, at least my muy simpaticata doctor made sure my bandage matched my bandana!

It was a long night, amigos. Maja cried til 4 am. I abandoned my spot next to ML on the bed after about an hour and went to sleep on the sofa. That worked until 2 am when she suddenly ran into the living room, jumped on the sofa, and bit me on the face! ML tried everything she could think of...

Dios mio, leeetle Maja is spending her first night with us and is complaining LOUDLY and bit me on the nose so hard that I nearly cried. There is nothing ungentlemanly about crying, but I think if I cry, then ML will cry too, and then where we will be? She is currently on a time out in her box...

Finally we peeked into the biggest and prettiest beer tent, where they were getting ready for their first customers of the day. Sí, sí, there are many people who come on a Sunday morning to have beer and pretzels for breakfast. That is the way they roll in Bavaria: very Catholic, but do not miss...

Hola amigos! Finally an adventure and photo shoot I can share! Today is the last day of Dult, Regenburg’s big beer festival that happens every May and August/September. I would tell you it is like Oktoberfest in Munich, but then I would have to give up my Bavarian expert credentials as anyone...

Wow, what an undertaking! It makes me think of 1800 pioneers heading west in the US, though thankfully much faster and you'll (hopefully) have A/C the whole way. Thanks @Cath for the wiki link, that was an interesting read. Before seeing the map, I naively assumed you were going through the...

Aww, Woody is such a sweetheart and your photos are always so beautiful. Love seeing young Benson too with 'his' trainer. 😉

I’m sorry Stanley has lost some of his bounce. I still think of him as a crazy puppy! ❤️ Maybe ask about thyroid function as well. My Brogan way back when got super lethargic (to be fair, he was 11 at the time). I was thinking it was very dire and was so relieved when it was just a thyroid...

Oh darn, sorry - I guess that was wishful thinking on my part! 🙁

Well done, Debbie! I have to say that Debbie is a huge personal inspiration to me. When I first met her she was going through a particularly rough patch personally and healthwise. In the last few years she has, with a lot of hard work, turned herself into a fit sporty glamour maven whose energy...

By the way, Maja’s ML found out this week hat she has an extra vertebrae in her neck. That is why she looks like a mutant meerkat. I keeeeed, I kid. She just looks like a regular meerkat. Ja, ja, ja…I am so divertente today. Pues, I mean it with amor, my leeetle Bavarian princess. ❤️
