Enzo at the Park

I have not had time to take many pictures or to come up with any brilliant prose these days.  A toddler and a rapidly growing puppy are keeping all hands full.  Gio is working hard on potty training ("A pee is coming, a pee is coming!!") while Enzo is working hard on avoiding walking down all of the stairs to go outside to pee.  Consequently Paolo and I are taking turns carrying him down- something we know we will not be able to do very soon due to his very rapidly increasing size.  Tonight I did manage to lure him down half of the stairs with bits of proscuitto and Parmigiano cheese- he is an Italian dog after all.  Our worry is how our nanny will get him down in 3 weeks when we leave for the US.  Enzo is truly a mellow, sleepy dog- a great representative of his breed.  Today I actually witnessed him peeing in the grass while still lying down.  Yes, he is that lazy. Here, just to assure you that he is not actually a stuffed toy, is a video of his animated side- when he encounters other dogs at Shevchenko (Gio calls it "Shev") Park:
