Atman, the Manchester Terrier

Our little pup is now one. He’s still a mischievous little rascal, and we are not convinced that the neutering operation he was subjected to a few months back has really done a great job in calming him down.

Amazon Lands in Italy, but Visited BlogfromItaly.com first

Wow! Despite Italy’s decidedly dodgy postal service, Amazon has finally set up shop in Italy. Hello Amazon.it! Amazon.com Inc even visited BlogfromItaly.com to read my How to Post things to Italy post, according to my Google Analytics data. Very interesting.
