I'd encourage everyone to get a dog if I could--no better companion in the world (sorry guys) ;) *Jeni, thanks; we still have four with us, but they’ll all be gone soon….

I have puppy fever right now. I want a little dog. We just moved to St. Augustine where it seems like everyone is walking adorable little dogs around!!! I talked to Roberto last night about it and he is all for it...just not sure if our cat will be :(<br/>I would love one of these darlings! You are not helping matters, my dear.

Right?<br/><br/>*Tui, thanks! More tear partners--yeah!<br/><br/>*Scarlett, thank you for the hugs; I'm passing them along to Luna, Stella, and the remaining pups :)<br/><br/>*Flutter, they're pretty cute, huh?<br/><br/>*Maddy, nothing special in their diet; they're 8 weeks old now :)<br/><br/>*Taffiny, thanks; I can't wait to see them grow!<br/><br/>*PIC, grazie mille :)<br/><br/>*Chris, that last one *is* a charmer. Definitely a face that screams "Take me home!"<br/><br/>*Rebecca, thanks for the support; I know it's strange to non-animal people, but they become such a big part of our lives, you know? I know you know :)<br/><br/>*Antonella, Stella will definitely be spayed when the time is right (I don't know if you've read that when we found her, she was already preggers), and three of the four feminine pup caretakers have talked to me about spaying; at least one of the two males will likely be neutered (he's going to P's brother), the other one probably not. <br/><br/>Actually we don't have stray dogs in my village as any time one wanders in (because a tourist has abandoned it) someone takes him (usually him) inside. Before Stella arrived, Luna was the *only* female around, so there isn't much of a chance for the stray population to increase here. <br/><br/>There are strays in the Marina, though, but since it's quite a trek even for dogs, the ones from up here rarely go down there (mine, of course, never b/c they're out on leashes or otherwise with me or P). The boys, though, yes.<br/><br/>Anyway, I wouldn't give these puppies to anyone who would mistreat them; these are all people who are animal lovers and who have demonstrated that even with how they respond to Luna and Stella. Believe it or not, there are some Italians who let the dog sleep in the house just like I do ;)<br/><br/>*Heart, she would love that! Keep us posted on your flight info ;)<br/><br/>*Christine, Lila was my favorite too, or at least one of my two favorites (the all white one being the other). I love them all, of course, but I think it was hardest with Lila, and now when Bianca Neve goes, that'll be the worst of it. Sniff sniff. *Alexmom, grazie a te :)

Nobody has brought up the subject of keeping down the stray dog population in Italy. Like, will any of these new puppy parents spay/neuter them? Will you get Stella spayed now that she's had her first litter?<br/><br/>I know you're a good doggie mommy but you're an American, after all. Italians are known for mistreating animals.
