By my clock he should be back in about 3 hours, and I hope that for what MotH doled out (130 euros), the "operation" will prove to be the right decision to lessen the aggression in our beloved little dachshund. I think he knew something was up this morning when I said 'no treats for you', and when he and the MotH were driving away, I could hear him crying in the back of the car. Maddie wasn't the least bit bothered by his absence and spent the better part of the morning hunting lizards.
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

Hope the operation goes well!
Take it from one olda braddah...

After one or two days you feel like yo ol' self. You go back to coffee table zoomies. Garanz.

from Mista Shu
Carlae - honestly I thought he'd be acting weird when he got home. So untrue. I noticed though, that his gait is a little different from not having "the weights" anymore.
RONW - you are probably right on that one. If, by chance, he should ever make the cover on those supermarket tabloids, grab a copy and I'll have him personally autograph it for you!
Laura - several characters actually. I just wish I could catch all of his expressions but they come at moments when I'm not able to capture them. Maddie is so much easier with her constant expression of "Huh?" *lol*
Debi - auntie, mama already had to put "da cone" on my neck because I no listen when she says stop fussing with the zipper. She also said to stay outside and try to catch reception for the tv...over here we can hardly get anything worth watching!
~Mistah B~
Oh my, yes - many many mahalos to your son. . .we appreciate. Wow, he has the makings of a superhero with that eye "mask" on and those guns!
NINE lbs?!? And HOW tall are you, girl??
Also, glad to hear Mr. B made it back to the house alright. Now we just have to hope it wasn't too late!
By the way, I think I may have fixed the problem you were having viewing my search bar.

Debi - I thought I saw you post pics once but I am probably mistaking Shu with somedog else. The stink eye, I believe!
WL - MrB is doing well and behaving like his usual self...that is, harrassing the westie until she stops what she's doing in order to chase him!
i just love seeing how hapa mixes turn out...even within the same family. but always beautiful/handsome, no matter how you slice it!
BTW, this son of yours could stand in for the next generation Wolverine, don't you think?! : )
Manju - teehee...that masked offspring of mine is thinking more along the lines of Christian Bale 'Batman' - I never saw the movie (3rd time's a charm sorta thing).
I had to smile when you said Maddie did not miss him while he was gone. Westies are so comical without trying to be if you know what I mean.
Sir Salty wants to see more postings about Miss Maddie. Me too.)
