Have a wonderful Saturday!

What am I dreaming?

As you probably know, sleeping is one of my favorite activities. But do you know what I'm dreaming right now?

Alright, let me give you a hint. Look at the golden ratio between the size of my paw and the size of my snout, which my father calls peppa (a made-up word in Italian that captures the snoutness better than any existing word in any language).

Now you know, don't you? I'm dreaming of walkies!!! Here's me on one of our recent walkies in the Malcantone valley. This is one of our favorite spots, located up above the town of Arosio.

This photo is from about ten days ago. I know what you're thinking... no snow in February? No worries, it finally snowed this past weekend.

A photo of my parental units from Venice, Italy - four plus years before they adopted me. This was Mom's first time to Venice. Don't they look sweet? (And young?!)

Grandpa's Snow Limerick for the Down Low

In choosing one's path through the snow

It is wise to explore why you go

'Cuz when cold and tired

Or otherwise mired

It's best to be with those you know

--by Tootsie's Grandpa, BGD.

As Grandpa says, "A Great Dane would have a very different snow experience." Here I am with Mom and Grandpa in Idaho.

Happy First Monday of 2016!

Happy New Year!

May all your paths in 2016 be clear.

From our family to yours: Happy New Year!

Happy Boxing Day!

This is a picture of me from Boxing Day in 2013! I have a bit more grey on my snout now.
