Baby the Bitch

2 new luxury foes: pedicures and tea cup dogs.

Today, an incident occurred which has temporarily turned me off to two normally very enjoyable items in my life. Location: Pharmacy outside the Church of France in Rome. Issue #1: Bad toe caused by even worse pedicure. Issue #2: Baby, the Miniature Doberman Pinscer.

Scene: In search of band aids, I encountered Baby. In a moment of fury, Baby, obviously freaked out due to her position amongst many crushing feet in a crowded pharmacy, lunged, catching my lower leg in her comically downsized jaws. Immediately her owner screamed, ‘Ay Baby!’ and yanked her away giving me an all too obvious, ‘what the hell did you do to my dog look”. I can only say, that at that moment, I was thrilled that Baby was the ridiculously miniature version of her larger, and seriously scary counterpart, the Doberman Pinscer.

Anyways, the day, before and after the Baby incident was fine. Margarita and I did another death march, this time of the area around my school, a wonderful church containing three Caravaggio’s ( AMAZING!), and the small church across from our hotel containing the Bernini statue, The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa (Angels and Demons fans!).

Two days till Schmallen (Sally) arrives!! Can’t wait!

Best, Lauren
