Ciao, Piccolino!

The girls are quite popular here in Modena!  But they're not just Brandy and Sienna anymore.  They're piccolino, carina, cucciolo and a host of other endearing nicknames people invent for them.  My absolute favorite nickname is from the toddlers about town - they point with one little finger and call them "bow bow."

It all sounds so much prettier in Italian, doesn't it?  They've turned into true Italian dogs - relaxing at the cafe to people watch!
