On the very day of the Italian festival, Autumn and I ran into our very first Spinone Italiano: Gavina (3), named after a Catalan word meaning ‘white dog’. I do not know why this breed isn’t more popular: Gavina was an absolute delight.
Edit: Grr. I am not having much luck with the whole ‘posting on time’ thing. So annoying! I wonder if I should just give up and find another hosting provider.
Gavina was tied up outside what is possibly the best truffle-maker in the city, XOX Truffles.
Ah hah! I knew there was something we hadn’t had recently: a dognose shot.
And even a dog-itch shot. Gavina is the gift that keeps on giving!
