I can’t believe I’m the first to comment. Could it be that I haven’t slept yet? Anyways, Michelle grazie mille for the Holiday wishes you sent my way.
Tanti auguri anche a te, P., Luna e Stella e tutta la famiglia.
Spero di incontrarci qualche giorno.

OHHHHH, is that the puppy that hasn’t been taken yet? The beautiful white one! Awww, who am I kidding… they are all beautiful. BUT, I thought that white one would be one of the first to go! Happy Holidays! 🙂
Npthing could be cuter than a puppy …well perhaps a bambino would be nice??? No pressure!!!
Happy Christmas to you and everyone you love!
Is she a Lab? She is really so adorable!!
Hope that you having (or had) a Very Merry Christmas! The puppy looks like a nice present for someone
What a great song and a very cute puppy! Mele Kalikimaka
Cute Pics!!! Buon Natale!
Those are beautiful pups!
Happy Holidays to you and your family! Enjoy every moment!
Awww, sweet puppy! What a joy. 🙂
Happy Holidays! I just discovered your blog and read your amazing stories about your grandmother, your trip, meeting P. Its wonderful! I’m glad I read this at all, but especially before 2008, as it gives me hope in a way that I think I have been afraid to have. Wishing you all the best in the coming year, and thanks for sharing these inspiring moments.
What wonderful pictures to open up to. Buon Natale!
Oh, that is too cute for words. Nothing quite so precious as a puppy!
Aaahhhhh……warm wishes to you too.
Beautiful! I wish you a great New Year!
I have lots of catching up to do in here, and I will be back to do so, but just had to stop in and say “awww”…Merry Christmas (a day late).
Thanks for all the good holiday wishes everyone!
Grace, no she’s not a lab, just a cute mutt 🙂
Alice, thank you so much for such a wonderful comment–so heartwarming any time of year, but especially now 🙂
First of all, AAWWWWW PUPPY!!!!

Beautiful puppy love. Hope your Christmas was wonderful.
i can’t believe that’s not a lab……wow could have fooled me! (we decided to start calling mutts hybrids 🙂
hope you had a wonderful Christmas in southern Italia!!!!
I swear I am not a dog person but your images always bring out the weakness in me.
Many happy wishes for a healthy and happy new year!
How could anyone not love dogs? That wee puppie just warms my heart. Such great photos.
I’m anxious to hear about update on the pups.
I have enjoyed all of your Christmas memories.
xo
Hope you’re having a fantastic holiday season!
I hope you have enjoyed an amazing Christmas…all the best for the New Year, and may you enjoy all the surprises that it brings!
There you go again! Are you trying to kill me Michelle!?! 😉
Buon Natale! Hope all your dreams come true for the new year! Brightest Blessings!
Merry Christmas to you.
Is the puppy a Christmas gift?
What an adorable pup!!! Merry Christmas, Sognatrice!
My Harry Connick Jr Christmas Albums were pretty much all I listened to during the holidays, but then along cam Josh Groban’s new Christmas CD . . . . . mamma mia che voce!
Thanks for the good wishes and nice holiday music…..nothing could be better, except Harry, himself, coming to sing in person.
Joy and peace from Philly!!!

I’m gonna steal that puppy. 😉
Happy New Year my friend!
Hee! Little Latte! (Yes, I’m still thinking of them with their coffee drink names.) Is she wearing a bow because she’s somebody’s present, or do you just like the family to dress for Christmas dinner?
Her eyes in these pictures are very Renaissance-Madonna-like, sidelong serious glances through pale lashes, demure and serene. But she’s a puppy! A cuddly, wiggly puppy!
So cute! Your blog always reminds me how much I want a puppy!!!
Happy holidays sognatrice! All the best,
Awwww, how precious. Happy New Year!
What gorgeous photos! I hope you and yours had a lovely time!
Hi girlfriend,
Just stop by to wish you a happy year and many adventures. I have been cooking with you on Wednesdays when I get a chance. Glad I discovered you or you discovered me, who remembers?
Happy New Year! I wish you many adventures.
P.S. that Harry Connick is one sexy guy.
Hope you had a lovely Christmas! Your puppy images make me smile inside and out. This little one is so incredibly adorable!
Happy New Year to you!
Best wishes for 2008!
🙂
Happy New Year to you and yours Sognatrice!
That is the cutest puppy ever! Does he speak Italian?
Happy New Year, Sognatrice, and many blessings.
Harry and a puppy – what a great way to celebrate Christmas!
Thanks to all for the good Christmas wishes; I hope all of you are also having a lovely holiday season 🙂
*Britt-Arnhild, no the puppy was one of the last to go from the litter that one of my dogs had. I was so sorry to see her go 🙁
*Sara, I just couldn’t resist putting a big red bow on the white puppy–no one else got dressed, actually. I mean the humans were, but….
*Heart, why yes she does speak Italian…and a touch of English although I’m afraid she’ll lose all of it now that she’s with an Italian family 😉
