NOBODY TOLD ME PUPPIES CAN'T CLIMB STEPS! (We have 500!) EP 172

[@stephx7054]

You’ve done it again! Your videos genuinely never fail to put me in a good mood- most beautiful videos on KZbin! ✈️🥰 I’m so sorry about Lily, glad she is living happily for the rest of her days!

[@deb7518]

Hello Nikki, Carlo, Holly, Indie and Sweet Lily! I have been watching many of your videos after a rather trying week here at home in the US. They were very beautiful and soothing, although it was very sad hearing of Lily's news. I've seen many beautiful shots of her snoozing away blissfully on the porch of your idyllic home, though, and it is good to know that she will live out her days knowing she is so loved and in that lovely place. Indie is a breath of fresh air with all her puppy ways, and Holly is certainly being a patient older sister to her. (Sometimes, though, I suspect Holly might be rolling her eyes a bit when Indie goes into spastic puppy mode.) Thank you both for putting in the efforts to make your videos informative, entertaining and beautiful. They've provided much needed escape for those of us unable to get away just now. I also love the blend of English and Italian, as that way I know what's goIng on, but I am learning a bit more Italian from Carlo. Grazie mille!

[@spiritualserendipity5451]

Hello lovely family❤️…I’m watching this with tears in my eyes. It is so bittersweet to hear about Beautiful Lily…My hearts breaks for all of you and yet she is so lucky to have you as family that will continue to give her the best life until the time comes. I’m a cat mom as well so it really resonates Sending best wishes xoxo Sabina

[@mo-mo2991]

Sad news about Lily - we all know you will take the very best care of her x

[@laurahunter1690]

Hugs for you about your sick cat. They are a part of our life.

[@my3sons757]

My 88 yr old father fell into a glass table today and had to get 40 sutures in his head and hands...so I was very upset. But as usual watching Nicki and Carlo and the puppies helped me to relax. Thanks for the lowered blood pressure! 😊

[@deb7518]

So Sorry to read this, and prayers for your father's rapid recovery!

[@theresestoulil8500]

It is 8:30am in Tucson, AZ and I find myself watching your videos every Sunday morning with my coffee. It’s a wonderful way to start the day!

[@vashti2389]

❤️AZ❤️

[@rachelwiscombe6606]

That drone footage was just stunning! Just imagine carrying all the materials up that hill to build the church! what a beautiful part of the world you live in :)

[@sjt609]

Sending love to you Nicki and Carlo. So sorry to hear about wee Lily🥺. FABULOUS drone footage Carlo, great fun with the puppies, thank you! 😘 XOXO

[@sherylvalentiner6115]

Holly is a wonderful teacher and mentor for Indy. So very sorry about Lilly. That’s never easy. 🙏🏻💜🐾

[@lilaclilly198]

Hello everyone! 😘. Long time since I left a comment. I still love ❤️ and enjoy 😀 your video diaries. Never disappointed! I love your new kitchen renovation. For me, watching your video,s is a beautiful escape….Yes very relaxing indeed! I love watching Carlos and his brother planting and growing fruit and veg…. I cold learn so much. Maybe🤔 they could do a fruit and veg video diary. It would be very popular. I never get tired of Positano. Always hungry for more…. Grazie ad entrambi 🙏🏻🍓🤗

[@carolking6355]

😊Just loved it. Your two little dogs are such a joy ❤❤

[@Eereenah]

You have such a beautiful relationship. You're kind, loving and respectful to each other.

[@roysimpson9711]

Recommended age for a puppy to do steps . Small pups 12 weeks but border collie size its 16 weeks . This is due to the danger of hip dysplasia at a younger age. However 500 steps is a lot so maybe 20 weeks or just take it a bit at a time if possible. I'm sure you will be careful as you always seem to act with caution . Obviously use the lead to slow her down to a sensible pace at first. Another excellent film as always

[@wendywalters4930]

I kept wondering why Indie wasn’t allowed to do steps. Thanks for the explanation 😊

[@Temptation666]

i can see my memory must be playing tricks on me. I was sure it was a 1 year for border collie size and up. But it is 32 or so years since i stoppede as a nurse at the local vet (is it called nurse in English?) So I am not surprised something has slipped. I blame it on age 😂

[@jennifercole5279]

They can start learning stairs between 3 and 6 months, depending on size. But they shouldn’t be given free range of stairs until they’re fully adult size, probably more like 12-14 months.

[@MotherCityGirl]

Yes, with my Border Collie I waited about a year. To be fair, I didn't have 500 steps in front of my house. But as far as I know it is to allow closure of all the growth plates in their bones, the last of which occur the latest at 12 months. As well as mitigating the risk of hip dysplasia.

[@roysimpson9711]

@@Temptation666 Hi Nordly I'm no expert at all Its been a long time since we had pups but information changes Obviously a pup has to be slowed down as it will race around with all that energy . Guide dogs for instance are training from a very young age but obviously you have to accept they are still developing for maybe 18 months to 2 years before adulthood . 500 steps is a lot and Nicky probably uses them almost daily . 1 year is a long time to wait .

[@DIANEWEATHERFORD]

Where do I start? The walks with Indy and Holly are refreshing and the scenery is spectacular! I laughed out loud when Carlo was talking about his “pasta with boobs”! He is so sweet and helpful with the dogs. I am so, so sad about Lilly. She is in good hands and I know in my heart you will make sure she is comfortable and is feeling your love for her! The drone footage is fabulous as usual and is so relaxing. The only thing I could wish for is that you make more videos!

[@rmsbrooks5606]

Positano residents must be the healthiest people on the planet, climbing and hiking. The views especially the drone footage is gorgeous. That said some of the pathway with the wooden fence on the cliff side would give me pause. I've had to let go of senior cat also, it was not easy. Letting her be at home is the most merciful thing to do. LOVE your videos.

[@justmaria5806]

Your videos provide the peace and balm for overtaxed souls. The beauty of the nature and promise of spring remind us how life goes on. Its restorative for the helplessness we all feel while observing the atrocities going on with our international family in Ukraine. You and Carlo are doing a great job of bringing some balance to all of the negative around us. Please keep sharing your world with us. I'll close by saying more garden and more Lucah!

[@rheffner3]

I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and it never ceases to amaze me how much you have to walk uphill (and downhill of course)! You two must be in great shape for sure. And good to see Indie meeting other pooches and off the leash once in a while. Sorry about Lily but I know she has had a great life with you guys and will continue to do so. Give her a can of tuna fish for me please.

[@CGR-fh9xf]

Hello Friends! I love it when Carlo says, "Hello everywhere". Thank you both for sharing your beautiful daily adventures with us. The drone is the icing on the cake.

[@cristinatudor6411]

16 years ago I got a seasonal job in Amalfi and although work was consuming most of my time , in few occasions I had the chance to visit few places including Positano. It's been my dream to go back at some point (didn't happened yet) and why not live there one day. I live now in UK, few miles away from Doodle Door and I love it, but I keep dreaming about Amalfi coast, pasta, pizza, fresh fish, fruit and vegetables, loud voices in the morning. Thank you for sharing your world with us , you are all amazing people ❤️❤️

[@doloresgounley2824]

Oh my goodness, I can literally feel my blood pressure lower as I watch your wonderfully soothing videos. They are truly works of art! Thank you Nicki and Carlo for all of the time you put into these videos. And I appreciate the update on Lilly. Being at home surrounded by love and care will go along way. Sending her much love. ❤❤❤ See you next week! Dolores. X

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

I am so happy for you all to be reconnecting as a community and enjoying your beautiful beaches and town before things become too crowded to do so. (We do the same here in Rhode Island) Thank you for sharing Lily's health update. I know that was not the prognosis we were hoping for, but know she will be where she feels most loved and safe in the time you have left together.

[@lanajackson3730]

Just beautiful scenes you took us on today. We were supposed to go to Paris and Italy 2 yrs. ago, but you know what happened. Now my husband, who will be 81, needs surgery on his neck. He is worried that we are too old to climb the hills anymore. I still want to see your beautiful, Positano! 👍🏻💕

[@carmelmancarella5088]

That was fun!!! Both puppies are in their element, sorry about Lily, yes at least she is home. The Villas along the way, my favourite part! And the church on the hill. That food made my mouth water😋 GRAZIE Niki E Carlo for taking us ❣️

[@normastarr4390]

Have you ever tumbled down those steps? That would make me nervous, I have a tendency to trip. Love how indie crawled into your lap for safety. So sweet!

[@charlenerichardson2623]

Poor Lily. She will live the ret of her days with the people sh loves. Nether beautiful video. Thank you for taking me along.

[@jessicastrideart]

Lily’s such a beautiful cat, so sorry that she’s not going to get better.💗 Such a joy to watch your walk in the mountains and life in the garden. Thankyou!x

[@cheri3434]

If I were to go up all those steps I would’ve out of breath after 20 steps. It would take me forever. You are in amazing shape to be able to do all that walking and hiking. Thanks for sharing!

[@sherrierollins3774]

I am catching up On videos I have not seen. Love seeing Indie as a puppy.

[@ShaheenKhan-xw3we]

Thankyou for making me happinesses and joy 🤗❤️watching this video … Nicky you are fabulous , along with Carlo and your family. 👍

You guys restore my faith in humanity 👍 Thanks

[@claudiaulrich5445]

Wonderful video, stunning landscape ! thank you Carlo! Your cute doggies, can't get enough from Indie-Holly Duo. Poor Lilly, I'm so sorry, this is very sad I wish you the best!

[@kimkennedy123]

Indie is growing fast! Soon her ears will perk right up. One of my girls got perky ears, the other's stayed floppy. They're working dogs, too. Yes, everyone is suddenly being conscious about over-working puppies with too many steps or long hikes (I saw a young man with his new puppy on another channel putting his little guy into his backpack so as not to overwork him). Glad the vets are letting people know about this (I had no idea!)

[@theresamariegoesplaces9688]

I got a "Hello Everywhere" t-shirt for my birthday this past January and it is a very treasured gift ♥️ Love to sweet Lily

[@francaise]

Watching you is like being on vacation. Its paradise where you are.

[@WorldWideWebObserver]

Thanks for the smiles!🌷

[@traceyhellsten649]

Awww,Poor Lily , 🙏 prayers. She is blessed though to have you take care of her. Indy is so cute, and I just love sweet Holly. Thank you for my much anticipated weekly get away 😉. God bless

[@mariannamitchell5283]

I love and look forward to your videos every week. This is especially so since I lost my husband suddenly last November-he was only 60yrs old. I visited Montepertuso and ate at Fattoria la Tagliata with my daughters in 2019 and had every intention to come back with my husband. At the time, my husband was home with our dog (who has since also passed away). I thought I had all the time in the world to travel back to Italy once COVID lifts. You and Carlo are a lovely couple. Cherish your family.💗

[@colleenthompson2622]

Great vid Nicki🤩. The pups are adorable and it’s nice to see Carlo enjoying retirement with you more. Now. All the Vets say about 6 months with Indie to do all those steps on her own. Sorry!!! It’s a bit tougher where you are! Keep that sling handy or a pup backpack maybe? Living the dream girl. Bellisima 😘Drone shots where amazing!!!!!

[@janetellinger9605]

The avocado trees grow enormous! So be mindful of your beautiful garden and view. I’m sure you have a perfect spot it will be amazing! Avocado trees produce so many avocado 🥑❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mary-joduggan2767]

What a fabulous video, we had a bit of everything, dog training, vegetable gardening,different Italian lunches and so much more.Your videos are a delight, and ease one gently into Sunday evening.So sorry to hear about Lily, but I am sure that she will be so well cared for by all the family. You will get your first outing to Capri soon,it will be lovely to see, we here in England are beginning to get our Spring also, it makes one feel so much better with a bit of sunshine. Looking forward to longer and warmer days. Keep safe and well.

[@susanwallis7249]

We had a retriever and our vet told us that we had to keep him away from steps until he was 4 or 5 months old. We didn't have 500 steps to our house, more like 50 but a 5 month old retriever is a bit of a weight! My understanding is that certain breeds who have a propensity to hip dysplasia should not use steps/stairs as small puppies otherwise it's just a case of whether or not a puppy is stable enough. Your pup looks as if she'd be more than willing to give it a go! It's lovely to see the relationship between her and Hollie.

[@carolsledgewalker6903]

Indie is very well behaved for a puppy. Thank you for sharing.

[@mars2100]

Sorry to hear about Lily, the loss of a loved pet is always very hard, she is much loved.

[@rebekahlow8375]

The girls gift of a painted hammer is wonderful. I love the music and dancing on the beach. The location of the yoga retreat is fantastic!!!! Definitely worth the mountain climbing to get there! Your garden is beautiful. I do hope Lily will be pain free as long as possible. Clever way to carry Indie! Thanks for taking us to the pine forest. Hello Francesco!! Your meal looked scrumptious!!! Pasta and Boobs does not sound yummy to me either. The walk up to the chapel was pretty but, it looked rough. Beautiful drone footage!! Love from Vermont

[@nicolestlouis6411]

Just wonderful, all of it. The drone footage in the eve with the lights glowing. The tourism board should pay you!!

[@juanitamartino]

Very sorry to hear about Lilly, but I know that she has had a wonderful life and will keep on having for the rest of her days. On this video for the first time I saw Luca smiling, so great!, beautiful smile. And as usual, very nice and relaxing video. Side note, I caught myself trying to breath harder , just by seeing you climbing the steps lol. Sending hugs to all of you . Juany

[@kimjriley5463]

You live in such a beautiful place. Love how you and Carlo and the doggies live life to the fullest! Love Carlo's drone footage! Spectacular! Love the doggies and so sorry about Lilly! Its tough, but you have given her love and care and I think she knows! Can't wait to see next week! Hugs!!❤❤❤

[@sberry4356]

Great video Nikki and Carlos! Your videos are continuously getting better. I also think Positano and Amalfi tourist boards should put you on retainer !!

[@cherylcarlson3315]

great drone shots, could feel the leap in my chest. Truly appreciate the climbing, can't do even slight incline anymore but in my head...Riley has appropriate chew toys but continues to raid the recycling bin to do punch art on plastic and even metal cans!! This has been a 2 yr battle which I have lost. He ripped the inner sole of slippers out, replaced them and he ate the rawhide tie around them, replaced it with a shoelace which now has fringed edges.Wish you luck.

[@canjitait6804]

Please , please Nicki, Carlo and all the extended family keep your videos coming , they truly are the gift that keeps on giving in so many ways . Lilly couldn’t have hoped for a better life with such a loving family to care for her , you will know when its the right time for her . It’s part of caring and loving whether it be human or our furry family it’s the relationship we have shared along the way . Hope you will consider coming back to Australia one day . Fondest regards your Aussie pal Canji / Arcangela 😘

[@jackfntwist]

I love when you walk up stairs and talk. It gives your videos great energy. My aunt used to do the same. Be very careful with Avocado trees. They grow huge and will take all of your sunlight. My neighbors all have them and I hate them. And they don’t even harvest the avocados. I don’t know how long till they fruit, but it’s not worth it. Maybe you can plant it on someone else’s land and share the fruits.

[@janetlombardi2314]

Everthing about this video was beautiful. You're doing the best you can for Lily at least she will be happier now she is back home. Thank you Nicki and Carlo

I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog. Thank u for taking time to give us such pleasure. In mid Canada our city experienced drought conditions whereby we had to watch water consumption. After several winters of little snow, summer 2021 little rain finally 2022 was a snowy winter. This spring our water supply at lake is ready to spill over dam. Yippee!

I really do enjoy the drone footage. So sorry about the news about Lily. I love how farming is such a part of your life. Being surrounded by farms is something that I love about living where I do in Ohio. The tractors are out on the roads getting to their fields ready to plow. I wave when I see them because I want them to know the community appreciates their work.
