And then I met Carlo and totally adored him and he adored me tooheart

He kissed, hugged and patted me and was so in love with me heart

You would never guess but he did not notice I was missing a leg so when Mom mentioned I was a really happy girl even on 3 legs he was so shocked and surprised he started crying ...

Mom said I was the happiest dog but he was so moved ... I so, so, so loved him and his kindness heart

Luckily Mom restrained herself from videoing Carlo whilst he was crying, I think he just felt it was a real shame such a beautiful dog (ME!) would be missing one leg.

Again another wonderful day with friends and beautiful beaches and ocean. Eurydice always looks stunning and you looks so beautiful playing with her at the beach.

I love how everyone gets down on the ground with Eurydice. Do they do that with all dogs or does she just entice them to get as close as possible? She really attracts charming people.

Carlo is such a sweet, sensitive man. It's so obvious the way he stroked Eurydice and showed her so much love. I really the photo with the well-dressed Italian couple. His pants would look good on Eurydice. laughing

I'm enjoying your trip so much. Thank you for having us meet your family.

Kerren and Tripawd Kitty Mona

p.s. The photo of the dog in Eurydice's mouth really made me laugh!! Did the dog emerge all slobbery?

Oh my goodness!

The scenery is just ...wow!

You have me smiling with your pictures & videos, and the comments.  I love how everyone pats Eurydice.  She really has no clue that she's a big dog, does she?  And such lovely people you've met every place you've gone!

And Carlo - well, now I'm crying, again tonight.  How sweet that he would cry for a dog he just met.  What a special man.

Murphy had his right front leg amputated due to histiocytic sarcoma at 7 years old. He survived 4 years, 2 months & 1 week, only to be taken by hemangiosarcoma at 11 1/2 years 6/12/17

Hey Kerren 💗💗

I am so happy you are traveling with us 🚙💨💨💨💨 so wish you could pack your case 🎒 and Mona and Eli would pack their mini cases 👛👜 and join us for real 🐱🐱

Yes, it is quite amazing how people bond with Eurydice, and they do get on the floor to pat her, a lot !

Carlo is such a special person, such a beautiful soul, it is just amazing he patted her and didn't realise there was only one leg.

When I mentioned the 3 legs he said NOOOO, covered his eyes and lowered his head and when he looked at us again he was crying ... so touching. 

I absolutely loved the other Italian couple, they were really sweet and so well dressed I particularly liked his pants, just like you 👖and yes, Eurydice would look great wearing them too 👌🏽

May I say the French and the Italian are unbelievable dog lovers, the best in the world, any doubts just take any dog there 🐕 and you will see with your own eyes 👀 your dog will be in paradise💞 

Lots and lots and lots of kisses and cuddles flying your way 😘😘😘😘🐾🐾🐾💕🐱🐱

Hi Donna 💜💜

So lovely to have you with us too 🚙💨💨💨💨 I so wish you could join us 😊🐕🐕

Great Danes are the biggest lap dogs in the world, I am sure any Dane pawrent will confirm they back up to sit on our laps whenever a lap is around ☺️ available or not, a lap is a lap so off they go 😂

Eurydice is the one responsible for us meeting such lovely people, she is in charge of selecting them and she is never wrong, dogs sense people's energy and look through one's soul instantly don't they? 

Sending you lots and lots of hugs and cuddles to your cuties 😘😘😘🐾🐾🐾💕🐶🐶
