Wishing you a peaceful easter weekend

*Yawn* *grumble* *nose in the air*. It wasn't easy convincing these two to agree to an easter greeting photo shoot. Just to get them wearing the ears without pulling or shaking them off was a 10 minute battle of I'm not having any of that *BS*. But the way to a dog's cooperation is through the stomach, and eventually, two dishes of pear chunks was enough to grant me this Kodak moment.

Happy Easter from me, MotH, Maddie and MisterB

Kat - he's always giving me that stink eye when he doesn't like something. I know my dad is going to laugh when he sees this because that's the same thing he said about Mistah's pics! :-D

They look sooo funny. I may have to try this with my cat Rocky. Somehow I don't think he'll cooperate.

Such sweet dogs! Look like they were enjoying a nap in the sun and you woke them up to put the bunny ears on. LOL! Buona Pasqua to you and yours too my dear.

Did I tell you we just booked our 10 year anniversary cruise? We'll be starting in Barcelona, stopping in several ports in France as well as Florence and ending in Rome. I'm so excited that we'll be back in Italy again in JUNE! Would be awesome if we could somehow meet up while I'm there. I know they're a little bit far from you though.

ROTFL!! Those pics are priceless. They must think "What's she up to now?" when you whip out your camera and come towards them with props like this. Those dogs are hilarious and you also! Happy Easter.

And a happy Easter to you, MotH and the kids, who, by the way, are adorable in their ears. Complimenti especially on the pic at the bottom, which is worthy of Fame. Also glad to read about the progress you are making On Your Own with Mr. B - sounds like your ideas are more sensible than the trainer's!

jmisgro - with Cinco de Mayo coming up I may have to figure out a way to make sombreros for the dogs. :-DDD

Fern - MisterB is a definite WORK in progress. We'll make a gentledog out of him yet!

Connie - Kona! Lucky you! Easter just isn't the same without sun. So nice that you had a peaceful and sunny weekend.

Medieval castles but not a knight in sight

Counting castles...what we need now is a lively jousting event and fair maidens. Valle d'Aosta is the land of castelli (castles), and spotting them is almost like engaging in a game of punch bug. I felt that it wouldn't be right to leave out such historical detail, but the sharp contrasts...you'll see what I mean in the photos. Now I don't know if it's due to Walt setting the standard on what a castle should look like, but through the dozen or so times that I've been here, not once did I make any real effort to appreciate these medieval landmarks that have withstood the test of time - save one. That would be the Castle of Sarre (3rd image), where we had our wedding photos taken. I believe that most castles are open to the public, and further info can be found here at Valle d'Aosta Castles . The Disney ish -looking one is Castle Saint Pierre (at right). It's a small world after all. Parking sign [P] and picnic tables (not shown) in front of Cast

A Campari moment

So...the lawn is done. The shower (and a double-sized one at that) scrubbed down. The floors mopped. The "kids" bathed, dried, and nails clipped. The monstrous old fennel cut down and ready to cart away. The kumquat fertilized, dinner done (oxtail soup), and the terrace swept for the 10th time because the "kids" think it's perfectly okay to leave the chestnut peels after devouring those that fall in the yard. The best part? Having my lardo d'Arnad photo featured in an italian restaurant and hospitality magazine, Italia A Tavola . I'm pretty stoked, and was sent a pdf copy of which I've snipped a part here.

Hi-Yo, Silver, away!

Slowly, but surely, Miss Maddie the alpine westie is gaining back her strength and stamina on these brief walks that we take around the mountainside. The hot summer temps are fading away, maybe too fast for my liking, but in the coolness of digits less than 70°F, the dogs handle it much better outdoors. We came across an old hotel over the weekend, its exterior still in good shape even if the property was no longer in operation. Along the outside wall, iron rings were firmly attached for way back in the days when people traveled by horse. An iron boot remover/puller was firmly embedded right next to the entrance. I've never taken riding lessons, but now I'm thinking, wouldn't it be fun to go on a vacation through the italian countryside only on horseback? I believe there are already these types of eco-tourism here, and I've read about one where you travel by donkey instead. The dogs would probably prefer to walk it themselves, as long as the pace was kept to a t
