Follow my summer travels in Italy and Beyond

Hello! I suppose I should let you know that I'm in Italy for the summer. I am interning at a fabulous site-specific art collection in Tuscany for May, June and July. I will try to fit in some other traveling during this time, and then at the beginning of August I will head to either Croatia or Spain for a few days before returning to Italy to meet up with my good friend who I am taking to Rome, Florence, and Milan. For my internship placement (which I got through my university) I am required to keep a blog about my experience, so if you're interested in following along, you can find it here.

Ciao!

My new boytoy - Cornelius!

As promised, here are some pictures of my AWESOME new puppy Cornelius (although he's rapidly growing out of the puppy phase). Cornelius was born November 24, 2010. His mother was a Puggle (Pug x Beagle) and his father was a Shar Pei x Bullmastiff, so he's quite a unique mix, and, as a result, quite a unique character. Cornelius has many nicknames including: Corny, Corn Dawg, Horny Corny, Benjamin Button, Grandpa the Flatulent, and Little Richard Alpert. I have never had such a smart, good, HILARIOUS dog. Enjoy the pics :)

Like I said in my last post, I'm on a real dog kick lately ever since I got my amazing puppy Cornelius a few months ago. Tim Flach does these AMAZING, intimate, expressive photographs of dogs that read like people portraits. Tim Flach's photos are also available in his book.

Sorry for the overabundance of dog-ownership-related-posts. I am now the proud owner of the most kickass puppy in the world. Pictures to come :)
