Although our pups typically receive just an empty cone after a visit to a gelateria, every once in a while we reward them with their very own frozen, creamy treat.
Here we’ve ordered a small portion of yogurt gelato split between two cups from our favorite place in Rome, Gelateria del Teatro. Enjoy the slo-mo [...]
We drove south last weekend in search of the beach. And found it.
Taking advantage of nice weather, L and I headed out of town this past weekend with the pups and drove about an hour and a half northwest of Rome to the remains of an old Etruscan town called Vulci.
Even though it’s not on the coast (but close), it was once a port city that [...]
This past Sunday we jumped in the Green Hornet with the pups and headed to the countryside — a national park just outside Barbarano Romano.
There we clambered over rocks, hopped streams, and kicked our way through fallen leaves. We also investigated 2,500 year old Etruscan tombs carved into the hillside, and Tess went bonkers [...]
Recently the travel section of the New York Times in their Globespotters blog posted a piece on the small fountains (fontanelle) that dot Rome. They number in the thousands and provide a never-ending supply of running cold and safe drinking water for the masses (locals, tourists, and pups, alike).
The one nifty thing the article [...]
I must admit, when L first told me the plan I thought it was a bit nutty: pack a bag, find a car, throw the dogs in back, and then drive hours and hours away from Rome in search of — more Roman ruins.
Considering we live on top of centuries of Roman ruins I tried [...]
About a month ago Little Bit stopped eating (and pooping) and would vomit whenever she drank water. And nobody had any idea what was wrong with her.
She ended up in emergency surgery about a week later. The vet had to open her up and look through her intestines. They suspected a blocked [...]
Although it may seem just like yesterday that a she-wolf suckled Romulus and Remus leading to the founding of Rome, it was in fact many years ago. 2,762 to be exact. On April 21.
So in honor of Rome’s birthday today, I present to you: Tess and her interpretation of the she-wolf. [...]
This morning Little Bit joined me on a walking tour through Trastevere to find Caffè delle Arance. The name translates to café of the oranges, and as you can imagine, oranges — or more accurately, orange juice — is their shtick. In fact, a produce truck pulled up as we approached to deliver [...]
Last night:
8:23 pm: I turn off most of the lights in our apartment, grab my camera, and yell back to L to meet me with the dogs in front of the Pantheon.
8:26 pm: Arriving while it’s still lit, I take several pictures…snap, snap, snap.
8:29 pm: I anticipate that at any moment (with no obvious fanfare) [...]
