06/19/2024

We are home now. I already have an autoimmune disease and respiratory issues so got knocked down pretty hard with a virus; -high temp/fever/chills for 4+ days, plus respiratory infection etc etc (probably COVID) the remainder of the time; weak & run down unable to get out and about at all.

Jimmy caught the same thing for 3 days and was back up and out on day #4 enjoying exploring Italy.

The bad Karma didn’t get me down however ! I was still in beautiful Italy !! Being ill didn’t stop me from having the French doors opened in the morning so I could breathe the fresh sea air every day; and listen to the town come to life. I listened to the sounds of the beautiful church bells as they rang through the town periodically during the day (I can still hear them.. so peaceful !!)
Evenings the moon shined through the balcony window and I could hear wonderful Italian music playing at the different restaurants nearby as I enjoyed the cooler evening breeze.

I still don’t have my appetite back, -lost 8 lbs while there. I enjoyed what I could while there in Italy and have *no* regrets going. Plus I had my Zenyah by my side 🐾💜

I told my son that because of my health issues that I don’t think I should, nor could, travel anymore. His response? “Ma don’t ever stop moving”.

Love, Barb & Zenyah

Day #5 Highlights
(Pictures with captions)

Another beautiful day ! Unfortunately momma didn’t feel well today so she and I had a ‘girls day’ in.

In the evening she had reservations made 6 months ago to her favorite restaurant here, O'PARRUCCHIANO, where you dine in gardens and beautiful lemon groves. The ceiling is literally hundreds and hundreds of lemons hanging from trees ! While the pawrents were busy enjoying dinner I had to worry about one of these humongous lemons hanging over us and dropping on my head 😆 🍋 (pic below) Dinner was excellent ! -fried zucchini flowers, Roman artichoke, veal Marsala (I loved this!) veal Lemon sauce and fancy mixed Italian veggies. Pawrents went to a dessert cafe later after walking around a bit.

Momma did lots of pictures and after eating we walked around the restaurant gardens. Of course momma plopped me in a pile of flowers again to take a picture…. soooo embarrassing !
So many people wanted to hold me and take my picture with them which I love doing.

That’s all for today !
Sweet dreams !

Love, Zenyah 🐾💜🐾

Day #4 Highlights
(Pictures with captions)

How did we get to day #4 already ?! 😩

Again a beautiful day ! Walked down to the ocean side, pawrents wanted to check out the beach. Momma wanted to relax and have a drink while daddy and I checked it out. Momma would have to take an elevator down to the beach it’s such a steep walk. They charge $10 pp to use the elevator, $50 per person for the beach and I’m not allowed on the beach so we will pass on this. Momma got information to take the boat to Island of Capri and info to Almalfi Coast and will book that for next week.

We had fried seafood & Margherita pizza for lunch ocean side. The some seafood had eyes on it !!! Eyes staring back at me ! I was so cweeped out ! 😧 …. but of course I ate some once momma took the head off 😂

There was a beautiful bride and her groom that just got married outside a very old church. What a gorgeous place to get married ! -so romantical ♥️ Mom took a picture.

We went inside the old church, momma’s always amazed at the beautiful statues and marble. I behaved and didn’t bark at all 😊

The pawrents are planning next week’s trip to Capri & Almalfi Coast, trying to avoid the busy weekend.

Momma and I are in for the evening…we ordered dinner; we’re both tucker out and need our beauty sleep 💤 lol

Sweet dreams !

Love, Zenyah 🐾💜🐾

Day #3 Highlights
(explanations under pictures)

Another day of perfect weather ! Started with the arrival of our lost traveling suitcase 🧳 🙌🏼 The humans are happy they have their shoes/sandals, bathing suits and rest of their clothes plus momma’s pain meds.

We slept in late and headed out for a light lunch of a charcuterie board followed by yummy gelato ! I got some cheese then lots of licks of gelato. ☺️

We stopped and sniffed 👃🏼😂 in front a chocolate making shoppe that had a large chocolate fountain ! Mom and I can’t have chocolate so we didn’t go inside.

They have the largest lemons here you’d ever see here, almost as big as me ! Sorrento is most famous for their lemons. I got my picture taken with a regular size lemon and a ginormous one to show comparison. We walked around some more then the pawrents stopped for some drinks that they wouldn’t share with me while I had plain water ! 😕

We did more shopping then back to our room for a long siesta 💤
We headed out again at 9:00 for dinner at a restaurant called Mona Lisa ! Pawrents had shrimp cocktail served in a beautiful dish, different types of pasta they shared with me: Cannelloni and Pasta Alfredo with chicken; lattes and Tiramisu.

It’s so busy here late at night ! I did a lot of eating, walking and being carried around 😊 We saw a LOT of Dachshunds and French poodles today. I barked “hi” at every one we passed ☺️

Good night and sweet dreams !
(Buonanotte, sogni d'oro!)

Love Zenyah 🐾💜🐾

(Included are todays pictures with comments explaining each pic)

Our first full day in Sorrento started out with an early phone call from Aer Lingus saying they found momma’s missing luggage ! It was left behind in Ireland and should be delivered here to the hotel by tomorrow ! Mom finally has a smile on her face 🙌🏼

Today it was beautiful weather. I got dressed and out we went !
We slept in and missed the hotel breakfast so went and had lattes and breakfast pastries; of course momma shared with me. We shopped around the marketplaces, bought a few things, had fresh made lemon ice served in a huge lemon ! Momma gave me some but it made my lips pucker from the tartness so I let her have it all 😂. I also met a cute little Italian doggie ! He waged his tail at me and I barked “hello” ! I wish I could have hung out with him but I had to stay with the pawrents 🙄

We then went back to our room for a siesta, -one of my favorite times snuggling up with momma. Later we went out to a nice restaurant for dinner. Fun Fact: people here really don’t go out to eat and start night life until after 7:00 pm. Mom’s a nocturnal person and fits right in.

It’s 12:00 pm here now, about 6:00 pm your time; we’re back at the hotel sitting on the balcony enjoying the evening breeze and people watching.

Sweet dreams !

Zenyah’s Sorrento, Italy Travel 2024

Well vacation has started with the humans ☺️

A little rough start. Momma had all my legalized paperwork in order to travel 1) Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine of Ireland 2) USA Department of Agriculture 3) Vet Proof of Health Wellness to travel 4) Rabies 5) Proof of Microchip 6) Certificate for PSA and of course upon check in at Logan Aer Lingus in Boston were like deers in headlights 😐 Paperwork was needed for Ireland because we travel Aer Lingus and have a stopover in Dublin 🙄 , -Italy and USA is fine. -Go figure, I don’t even leave the airport in Ireland ! After a lot of nail biting, tapping fingers on counters and mom having a bit of ‘tude we finally boarded and were on our way 🙌🏼
Funny thing is ? Last year momma didn’t know we needed all this legal paperwork and only had proof of Vet Check, Rabies Vaccine, micro chip and Certificate for PSA and we passed right through. Yup, learning the “proper legal way” the government only messed things up this year.

So…momma played a game like “Where’s Waldo ?” with me on the plane but is was “Where’s Zenyah ?”…showing me on the live map where on the travel path I was 😁 lol (pic below).

When we finally made it to Naples we had setback #2 😭 Mom’s main large piece of luggage was lost ! - a LOT of new clothes 😭ALL mom’s new dresses & skirt, ALL the hoomans shoes, raincoats, evening sweaters, new bathing suits and coverups, dad’s new camera that was a Veteran Day gift from his employer ! -all mom’s PAIN MEDS… AND…MY DOG FOOD !! I think it was at this point momma got a BAD headache 🤕 Luckily all *my* dresses/clothes, bows, hair/body accessories are safe, mommma is smart enough to pack my things in a carry-on ☺️ lol

After filling out paperwork for lost luggage we went to find our limo driver and he had “my” name, “Zenyah” on the card to find us ! I felt so special ! -I did let momma and dad ride with me though 😊 lol

Sorrento is just so beautiful our first partial day here. We all took a verrrry much needed Siesta 💤 After we hit a grocery store to get me some dog food, drinks for the fridge, etc. and pizza from a nearby shop. Our room is nice and momma’s pleased we have a view of the ocean. Our room has a French Balcony and I loved watching people go by on the sidewalk. I even barked “hi” at a couple of dogs passing by but they didn’t answer me ?? -perhaps my American accent threw them off 😁🐾 lol

Going to rest… can’t wait for what tomorrow brings !
(hopefully momma’s missing luggage 🤣)

Kisses, Zenyah ♥️🐾

06/01/2024

All packed up and ready at the airport for my new adventure: Italy again !! Sorrento, Amalfi Coast, Island of Capri, Pompeii, Isle of Ithaca etc for 2 weeks !!

Sweet Gracie Lu & Noelle (Scarlett ?) first time home ! I’d say they are extremely happy already !!🤗☺️🐾💜💜🐾

Omg that crinkly toy 😍 I need one here lol

Thank you Sarah Mott for all the pics & video 🤗

It was such a pleasure meeting George &@ Sarah Mott today to present their new baby girls ! Gracie Lu & Noelle (Scarlett ?) took right to Sarah as she was immediately kind and gentle with them. Picture below already shows them looking at their new mom with those loving Shih Tzu eyes as they do 💜 I had the pleasure to meet George as well ! -a super lovely family.

I’m told the Ferry ride was a success as they were relaxed and already playful in their new home.

News like this always warms my heart and makes it easier for me knowing they’re in their permanent, loving home.
My heart is content.

04/07/2024

🐾💜💜🐾 George, Sarah Mott and family….your baby girls are all bathed, groomed and ready to come home tomorrow 😊
Gracie Lu and Noelle are so ready to meet you all and explore their new home. I hope you’re ready for lots of love & kisses as they have so much to give ! I’m going to miss them sooo much.

The girls are prepared for their ferry ride home with new hoodies to keep them warm plus harnesses to go in their new carrier with blanket

I so look forward to meeting you tomorrow Sarah !
I wish you all endless love, happiness and puppy kisses🐾💜💜🐾

It’s always bittersweet for me the day I let puppies go ☺️😔

04/05/2024

💜💜These 2 adorable little munchkins will be getting major groomed this weekend and ready to meet their new momma Sarah Mott on Monday ! I’ll post some “after” pictures once I groom them; they look like little shaggy muppets at the moment but I wanted to groom them fresh right before they go home. 🐾💜💜🐾

Dolly has been the best, loving mom to her babies, I’m so proud of her 🩷 She’s so tolerant of having her top knot & tail tugged at but jumps up on her stool when she wants her time out.

Gracie Lu & Noelle are more then ready to settle into their new home together. They’re so bonded… they play so cute together and where there’s one there’s the other. I’m beyond thrilled they will stay together 🐾💜💜🐾

04/01/2024

🪻🌷I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter🌷🪻

I just got a wonderful pupdate from Elvis’s mom Denise Wisdom .. -Elvis along with Hendrix (Kelley Warner’s furkid from Dolly’s last litter) and her son’s Doberman puppy Remi !!
Beautiful pictures of pup’s and family 💜

Thank you sooo much Denise; this makes my heart happy to see all the pups doing so well and being loved 🤗 xoxox

🐾💜I’m enjoying my last weeks with Gracie Lu & sister Noelle as they catch a ferry soon to their new home on Block Island ! I’m so going to miss these sweet girls, a LOT😪 😔

They really have super sweet personalities and are so dainty and girly-girl💜 They’re charting to be around 8-9 lbs adult ! 🤗
They play so well together, always use the potty pad and no crying/whining when it’s lights out for sleepy time.

I bought matching harnesses today for them with room to grow into. Before boarding the ferry home they’ll need to potty and I want them to be safe.

I have a brand new carrier still with tags I never used (I’m horrible doing returns 🫣) but found it a tad too small for both girls to be comfortable so ordered a larger one which will be coming tomorrow. I’ll be getting the girls used to that also when it’s here.

I started getting them use to their harnesses inside….they did great ! I could almost compare it to the first time as a teen you put on a training bra on and think “WTH is this thing ?!?” 😂 Just putting it on and letting them roam around the house (inside..it’s been to cold to introduce them to outside) When they started playfully tugging at each other by their harness it was so cute but time to take them off 😆

Their coats are absolutely gorgeous !! You can see in pictures: so soft, fluffy, thick and long already ! They definitely have Dolly’s show coat 🥰
I’ll be giving them a bath and good trim before they go home.

Sarah Mott , you’re going to absolutely love these babies🤗💜
Won’t be long now until they’re in you arms 🐾💜

03/18/2024

My current situation… puppy play is exhausting 🥰
Sarah Mott & family

03/18/2024

💜Adorable bonded sisters ! Gracie Lu & Noelle💜 I’m loving my time with them until they take the ferry to their new home on Block Island in April 🤗😊🫶🏼

Definitely time for me to groom them, -their hair is growing so thick & fast like Dolly’s.

Charlie playing with another Dane at the dog park 🐾♥️🐾 LOVE he is so secure with himself being around larger dogs ! My Belief: I expose puppies here to my Great Dane Xerxes. If a little dog is fearful of a larger dog they will run away making themselves “bait” for the larger dog to chase rather then play with. Obviously exposing a smaller dog to a larger dog has to be done with caution if the larger dog is unknown

Lisa took Charlie to a dog park…look at this little guy holding his own playing with Great Danes ! ♥️🐾 Lisa Picchi Habig

After dinner playtime

After dinner playtime.. then 💤 💤 sleepy (tap to play video)

Feeding Time

After playtime I cleaned them up with baby wipes, -my best friend (too young for baths which they’ll get day before they go home) brushed their thick coats and then feeding time. I feed them about every 4-5 hours (sleep? what’s that ? lol) It’s my choice to be sure they’re thriving and gaining weight. They’re cutting their teeth, they have plenty of teething toys and I’m making their food a tad more chewable. I think I miss raising my own children and raising puppies is meeting a need I greatly miss 🤔🫶🏼🤷🏻‍♀️

🐾💜🐾Noelle🐾💜🐾 SOO sweet ! Available. See previous pictures. Thank you.
