“Oh The Dogs You’ll Meet” in Italy

Yup, that’s my little play on the title of the very popular Dr. Seuss book, Oh The People You’ll Meet. While travel is such an amazing experience to meet new people, for some of us who are certifiably dog-crazy, with a specific diagnosis of suffering from “terrieritis” – sometimes the dogs you meet could be just as interesting. Meet one Ms. Moneypenny, a Parson Jack Russell Terrier from Germany. My parents (yup, I inherited terrieritis from them, mostly from my mom, my father pretends he’s not afflicted but he totally is) met her last month in Italy. MoneyPenny and her human parents were vacationing at their apartment outside Grossetto, at the Tuscan coast. Turns out Moneypenny is a quite a star. She even has her own book! I have more photos and will tell you more about her a little later…
