More of Our Boys

Life with a toddler and a new puppy is certainly not dull. 

We have had simply perfect weather the last two months with bright blue skies without a drop of rain.  At last, on Wednesday, a storm arrived bringing some fantastic puddles.



A walk to the park was aborted in order to tend to this great puddle in our alley.  Enzo took the opportunity to rest.


Of course, yellow boots make puddles much more fun.

Eventually I was able to convince these two to go to the park, where a joint stick collection began.

Enzo loves all of the dogs at the park, big and not-so-big.  He was perplexed, however, by this fellow's tracksuit.



Thursday brought a return of sunny skies, and Enzo was yet again the focus of many a photograph. Luckily, his tendency to stay put for long periods makes him a good model.

I installed sod on our balcony in the hopes that Enzo would do his middle-of-the-night peeing here so I would not have to take him up and down the 3 flights of stairs at 2AM.

Gio was skeptical about my plan.
Being half American, Gio is as confused by this strange apparatus in our bathroom as I am. 
Thursday afternoon brought Gio's greatest dream: an excavator digging a giant hole right in our alley.  The crew was very kind about allowing Gio to help out.


Again, Enzo chose to supervise.


Well, the good news is that Enzo likes the sod....for resting only.  Yes, I was back to carrying him down the 59 steps again last night.  Oh well.

Yes, Enzo is extremely lazy. 

Ciao for now, everyone!  We hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.

  1. Great pictures, Clara! Enzo looks like such a cute puppy. Is he a Bernese Mountain Dog? I've always wanted one!

    We're back in NYC. It's great to be here though I could pick up and go at any time. Ben and Clare have settled back in and we have enough space for once. We're living in Harlem and everyone has a bedroom plus I have a studio (where I am now). It's dreamy to have room!

    Have a great weekend.
