Poor Tanner! His parents went to Italy for 3 weeks and all he got was some lousy pictures of Italian dogs. Before you feel too sorry for our canine blogger, he spent his vacation at Sandpiper Kennels, hanging out in the office with Patti, Paul and Ignacio, and romping with the pack in the play yard. We came home to find him looking lean and fit, and very, very happy to see us. Since we're with him every day, it's tough to notice just how much Tanner has changed sine he first joined our family. That's why we were thrilled to hear Patti say…"When I first met Tanner, he was meek, nervous and shy…with your persistence and devotion, Tanner has blossomed into a real dog! A fun loving, bouncing around, tail wagging, food gobbling, happy puppy!!!!! He is an absolute joy to behold!" Thanks to Patti and her crew for taking such good care of him so we could rest easy and enjoy our vacation.

During our trip we visited Bergamo, Brescia, Lake Garda (Sirmione), Mantova, Modena, Pietrasanta, Marina Di Pietrasanta, Camogli, Pavia, and Milan. Along the way we saw lots of dogs. Most were mixed breeds but we did see several Labs, Pugs, Cavalier King Charles, Shepherds, English and Irish Setters and a dozen or more pit bulls, bull terriers, cane corsos, and dogo argentinos. In Bergamo, we struck up a conversation with a young man from the Netherlands who was strolling with his family and his Staffordshire Terrier, 'Bus'. We told him about Tanner and gave him a card for the book. He took one look and said, "I know GIMME SHELTER; I follow you on Facebook." Seems the world, or at least the dog world, is a very small place indeed. It wasn't possible to photograph every dog we came across all but here are a few we did get:
