Simply Dog is in Rome

Simply Dog goes to Rome. Roam, Rome and roam. Simply Dog loves to roam all over Rome.

We had to chauffer Leif around Rome, because he wanted to have a tour of this beautiful, culturally unique city.

I think that even from a dog's point of view, Rome might be something different, than, let's say, Milan. Rome certainly has wider sidewalks, so if you are the kind of person who likes to take long walks with your canine friend on a wide sidewalk, then Rome is your place to walk. I noted that in many northern Italian cities sidewalks are narrow; this can be frustrating when trying to walk alongside a person or a dog. Rome is definitely a lovely place to take long walks.

However, this was the first time my dog Leif visited Rome, and we wanted him to see all the sights and to sniff all the interesting smells of this ancient culural landscape. Leif went everywhere from the Colosseum to the Circolo Massimo, and from Trastevere and Tasteccio to a fabulous four-star hotel in the Aurelius area.

What an adventure for a dog. What does a dog think about Rome? What would a dog think about the history of the Colosseum? ...Those are all interesting questions, and ones that are of course not easy to answer!

Treats and appetites

There are of course many things a dog could like to eat. My dog Leif has his own idea of what he prefers. I often wonder why he has such exotic tastes. But the big secret is that his most favorite treats are bananas, green apples, and the Purina B-Steaks.



I never had a dog before who loved to eat bananas and green apples. Every time I sit down to peel a fresh banana or cut an apple for myself to eat, Leif is walking into the kitchen. he takes his place sitting directly in front of me starring straight at the fruit in my hand. With each bite I take, he longs for a taste of it. So, green apples and bananas are fruits we share to eat.

However, Leif and I do not necessarily share the same tastes in everything we eat. He gets really crazy for the Purina B-Steak treats. You should just see him when I come from the grocery store, he is already expecting that I bought him a package of these B-Steaks. This treat, I think, is typically dog. The green apples and bananas not.

The aroma that rises out of the bag when I cut it open really makes him salivate. The bag looks very trendy and makes Leif think this is something very special.

He is simply a dog. Not with a pedigree, but with something more special. Leif has a soul that radiates whenever he smiles, barks and catches your eye.
