Darling mini-Schnauzers Poppy and Rocco headed home with us to London after a summer in Italy.
They spent five glorious weeks in the seaside town of Sirolo, near Ancona, which is where courier Sarah collected them. It was a busy day on the Italian autopista as everyone was travelling back from the coast after their summer holidays, but Poppy and Rocco took it in their stride.
Courier Sarah and her charges made for the mountains, where the weather was pleasantly cooler, and took the Frejus Tunnel to France. The French roads were much calmer, and the mountain comfort stops and walks were both refreshing and breathtaking.

Rocco thought it was too early to get up the next morning…

…but the promise of a lovely woodland walk with his sister soon changed his mind!

Mmm, not many humans get to spend such quality time in Italy, on holiday!
Beautiful photos.

They are adorable.
Courier S rather fell for them.
You guys have the best job!!! Cute pups and incredible sites
We can’t complain!
They are cuties! The scenery is lovely. Mountains definitely have moods – we were fascinated by the changes when we lived in the Pyrenees.
Courier S really enjoyed her trip with the two cuties and through the fabulous scenery. Luckily the mountains weren’t in much of a bad moon 😉

Such a beautiful pair. How do you tell them apart? Schnauzers have always been a favorite breed in my book!
Rocco obviously is as adverse to early mornings as I am! A kindred spirit.
Excellent pictures of the travellers and the scenery too.
Loved the shot of them sharing a drink, AC. Really cute. –Curt
Beautiful scenery and two adorable pups – I bet they have a blast together!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
