VENICE
We sailed into Venice last October and rented an apartment in Calle dei Avocati near Campo Sant' Angelo with Unkee Kneel, Auntie Beryl, Auntie Doll and Auntie Sonya. It was a beautiful place and I just used to hang out at the front door waiting for people to walk past and see what a glamorous place I lived in. They used to let me lick their gelatos and the tourists took heaps of photos of me.
Here I am looking at the four flights of stairs up to our apartment. It was so difficult climbing them especially for the BIG PEOPLE who are all seniors. Early in the morning I had to go downstairs and wipe all the marks off the walls where they had crashed into them on the way home after a big dinner and lots of vino.
I loved peering over the balcony from our apartment looking at the boats going along the canal. Sometimes I yelled out "buongiorno" but more often than not, I just waved.
I never saw any fish in the water, but I think I saw Angelina Jolie swish past with a camera crew behind her. Maybe I am getting confused after seeing her in the film 'The Tourist'. I'm not sure...

Here I am in St Mark's Square. My paws got a bit wet 'cause the tide was up. Did you know that Venice is slowly sinking? Well, I think it is because everyone eats too much and they are too heavy for the islands. MUM said I have a vivid imagination. Anyway, here I am wearing my commedia del arte mask at the 60th birthday dinner we had in the apartment. We all wore them on the night and we looked like something out of a Ken Russell movie. I wanted to wear a red cloak and run around the alleyways like that movie 'Don't Look Now', but MUM said I could have been bear-napped, so I did as I was told and sat in the crystal bowl and guarded the pearls all night. They are only fake.
Unkee Kneel bought them in Thailand and I think he likes to wear them when he is at home watching TV.
