Undici (11)...
Where does the time go? I remember her picking her out of the pack from her nail polish (yes, my friend had painted each puppy's paw in order to distinguish them). It was identical to what I had on my toes. She had this little, uncertain face when I put her down on the front lawn. She kept looking around for her brothers and sisters...
I sat down and waited patiently until she finally made her way up onto my lap and devoured me with puppy kisses.
It was true love and we've been partners ever since.
Auguri Lucy,
our happy and healthy 11 year old lab!
With birthday present in bocca.
For dogs lovers and beyond, there is a "must read" out there. It is a love story, a friendship spanning time and above all, made me realize we humans may not the smartest species out there. I enthusiastically recommend "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. "Marley and Me" was cute. This book is genius.

What a beautiful animal. I'm not generally a dog person. (I share my life with a 7 kilo feline tyrant.) but I make a ginormous exception for golden retrievers.
Happy Birthday Beauty.
Auguri carissima Lucy, sei dolcissima e hai un posto speciale nel mio cuore per sempre. Ti voglio bene anchè max e micha ti vogliono bene. Stai serena e bella come sei.
Lucy is so cute. Happy Birthday!
Gosh, the tears are falling. How did Lucy & I get this old??? Can't wait to hug her!!! SOM
I just found your blog and I know this post was written quite a while ago, but I had to comment. My family is from Liguria - La Mortola (Inferiore) and I absolutely love Italy and enjoy traveling back to visit my family every so often. Honestly, what you do sounds like my dream job (from your description on your website).
The point of my comment actually is that I also LOVED The Art of Racing in the Rain. Loved loved loved it. I recently read a book called Stay by Allie Larkin. It's not told from a dog's perspective, but I really enjoyed the story - which focuses a lot on a dog, and being a dog lover, perhaps you would also enjoy it as well.
