WINTER LIFE IN A SUMMER TOURIST RESORT | EP 221

[@jeanmartinez7467]

Happy 85th birthday, Nonna. Carlo, you are so lucky to still have your parents around. It’s a gift to be cherished every day.

[@bellebeauty67]

“We’re in Italy. Doing a 10 minute task takes 10 hours because every person you meet wants to chat” -Carlo……😂😂😂😂 So good!!❤

[@carolynhoover9444]

I love this about Carlo!

[@mollypitcher9380]

Sad to say, that’s not America. 🌸

[@westernnut8407]

I applaud you for having Indie spayed. Thank you for a lovely family centered video.

[@sonnykat462]

Happy to see Indie did ok with her surgery and you've prevented so many unwanted puppies from being born. If only more people around the world did the same. Big hugs to sweet Indie.

[@javieraramirez4289]

Thank you so much Nicki for doing the responsible thing and sterilizing Indie. I've been to Italy many times and it is true! there are loads of street dogs in the south and it is sooo sad. Thank you for loving your animals and giving them the best care

[@janetyamashige9573]

Amen and well said!

[@NyreeAlana]

It really is wonderful how involved the vets allow you to be! It can make a huge difference to an anxious dog, to have comfort from their humans! ❤️

[@CallieMasters5000]

Indie is the only dog that wakes up from anesthesia even more hyper than she was before! 😁 At least you don't have to worry about her having a big load of puppies!

[@jenjem5810]

Dearest Nicki: You give us a break from the freeze... We step away from our reality to peek into yours. Always beautiful. Always uplifting. Thank you, and bless your heart.

[@helenstella2666]

2023 .. the year of the picnic .. I agree to that Nicki 👍💕

[@mayaa03]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CARLO'S MOM ! Happy to see Indy back at home with Holly! beautiful weather and family, Thank you!

[@cindyroth5853]

Thank you for being responsible pet owners🙏 The pet overpopulation crisis is worldwide. I volunteer at spay/neuter clinics on The Reservations in the United States and witness this issue firsthand. Again, thank you for your compassion💙 And, as always, your sunny content brings a smile to my heart🌻

[@joycady8325]

I just love your videos. They're so entertaining and you so lovingly bring us into your home and share your daily lives. I always walk away from your videos with a big smile on my face. And yes your videography is spot on.

[@lyndaplancarte4895]

The plant that Carlo's Aunt gave you is called "String of Pearls" and is a succulent...Happy Birthday to both Skye and Nonna!! Wishing them both many more!!

[@pamjudge9691]

Your vlogs, however mundane the activities are , are always magical and uplifting. Love them.

[@CleanEatingKitchen]

I always love seeing the old-timers. Everyone in Positano is a treasure!

[@marthamorris3174]

Great video! Carlo, your devotion to your parents is wonderful - thanks for sharing your Mom’s birthday party! Happy to see Indie is well and back home. Thanks for the drone footage- awesome views! 🇺🇸👍🌴 21:51

[@ciaobella8963]

Your Mama looks amazing Carlo for 85. Anche tuo Padre. I hope they both live for many more years. My neighbor upstairs, she is 95. 😊🎂

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Enjoyed the video as always Nicki and Carlo. Hope Indie is fully recovered now and I agree always the responsible thing to do as a pet owner.

[@kathleenhoney]

Living with that view…amazing

[@supriyabarsode8039]

Happy birthday to nonna and Skye 🎉Lovely to see the family together.Was great to meet Carlo's aunt . Hope Indie is recovering well. Loved your idea of the theme of 2023 picnics!! ❤️

[@marilynlopez2630]

Happy birthday to Carlo’s precious mother. 🎉. May she be blessed with many more years.

[@dianalewis8548]

Carlo's Mom looks so happy. Beautiful cake and fun party. You are so lucky to have family near. Treasure these days. Indie will feel much better now. I really love winter in Positano. So quiet and not all your tourists. Enjoy the week. Big hugs.

[@seanmadden3620]

So that sent my sugar levels sky-high, left me wanting another dog so much and desperately craving for spring to come - all in 20 minutes 🙂 Great video

[@margarethayes9888]

So beautiful watching your family. The beautiful Italians never age!

[@dianaendsley9694]

Love that 2023 will be your year of the Picnic. Such a wonderful idea! I really enjoy you and Carlo sharing your lives with us in these videos.

[@ldefalco456]

Brava Nicki and Carlo for getting Indie spayed! And the shot with the drone through the bell tower nice!!!!! Buon Compleanno to the two ladies! 🎉🎉

[@taitweigel64]

So adorable in the car, you two and your dogs faces all happy. I loved seeing Carlo's family. What a life! Fresh fruit for the picking and family nearby.

[@kristymac3236]

How lovely for all Carlo’s family to be so close together, great company for each other.

[@pompower9065]

Happy birthday, Carlos mum. Lovely to know her secret, she doesn't look 85. The cake was beautiful and looked delicious. I'm so glad that Indie is recovering so well. We just had our pomeranian Lilypup spayed. Is so important to get them done . Not just to stop unwanted puppies but serious health issues as they get older. In UK we don't get so much involvement with our pets going in for surgery at our vets. We definitely don't get video, but it would be cool. Thank you for another awesome vlog ❤️

[@63Littlemouse]

What a lovely jam packed vlog 😊 Its great that your vets allow the owners to be involved whilst treating your pets so reassuring for both you & the animal xx

[@sarahstorey8492]

It’s so wonderful that real people are still living in paradise. ❤

[@elizabethann9152]

Thank you for spaying your lovely girl. What a love note to dogs, to do such a thing. So they might all be loved, in loving homes. Such a wonderful time with you, as always.

[@mollypitcher9380]

By far, the best part of this GREAT video was Aunt Rosalie. She seems very sweet. I loved seeing how she lives (oven before the house!). I wish we could see more of what her and Carlos’ parents life is like. Good job you two! 🌸

[@coolbreeze5683]

Year of the Picnic sounds wonderful! That pastry shop where you got the cake made me so hungry! The sweets looked beautiful!

[@Bellasand45]

Happy Birthday to Carlo's mom and Skye. 🎂🎂🎉🎉

[@mollypitcher9380]

🌸🌺💐🌹🌷🌻🥀🌼💮🪷

[@magsmimi5162]

I truly enjoyed this episode. Thank you for sharing a part of your lives with us. My husband and I watch your episodes together every Sunday. Indie was so cute and being undecided made her even cuter. She loves you both so much. I love Holly, she's the sweetest. That garden was beautiful, especially the red flowers. Happy 85th Birthday to Nonna Adele!! Sending lots of love from Los Angeles, California!!💕🎂🎉🥳🙏🏼

[@mf5531]

THANK YOU for spaying Indie. and for another enjoyable video. ( Happy birthday Carlo's mom.)

[@sandimanfredi5331]

Love how you show us everyday normal life with Carlo and your family. Love your idea of spending more time outside and enjoying the beautiful outdoors. Thank you both for another amazing video that made me smile but also some tears of love.

[@ldaniela6755]

Happy Birthday Skye💗 Happy Birthday to Carlo's Mom. Kisses for Indie , Holly, and all the cats and dogs

[@bethb7965]

Thanks again for another wonderful video! So glad Indie is recovering well! She was so happy to see you guys when you picked her up the next morning!. Happy Birthday to Nonna and Skye🥳‼ Those pastries looked amazing ‼😛 I'd like one of each, please! Ciao for now ❣🇮🇹

[@philippapay4352]

The sunshine of the day is glorious, the waterfall is delicately lovely, and the sandwich from the deli looks hearty & tasty. All the green plants do look greener and more lush after all those rains. I love the flavors of fennel & oranges together. The frittata looked wonderful. It is nice to eat out in the open air with loved ones and share such a simple, healthy picnic feast. I love that Aunt Rosalia is part of the family gardening tradition. Her peas look like ropes of jade necklaces. How clever to build the house around the oven you want to use. She cooks for herself and seems to do pretty well on her own, though I'm sure the younger generations make certain she has all she needs. It's good to have friends and neighbors who want to chat and that you are woven into one another's lives. Carlo's parents even have a kitchen that is welcoming. The dogs are accomplished travellers at this point or they are both dreaded backseat drivers (as we call passengers who have to instruct the driver at every turn). We have all our dogs and cats "fixed," because it is irresponsible with the number of stray, feral, abandoned pets to allow more to come along. It is difficult on neighborhoods and even in the wilds surrounding human habitations. You are wise to do this. In the States, the pets are taken into a small surgery and then when they've awakened they are sent home with the owners with any pertinent instructions. It sounds very civilized and less coldly medical in some ways with how it's done in Italy. Intubate. The pizza looks delish. Carlo, New Yorkers tend to fold their slices of pizza as you do, to double it and make it easier to hold. Choosing? Just order one of each! LOL. They almost all looked tempting. How lovely to celebrate Nonna Adele's birthday. It is good to be grateful for each year completed well and to celebrate that. Indie could tear the stitches walking down the steps. So you, Nicki, got to the birthday party to film it seems? Look at all those pastries and sweets for everyone to enjoy. I love that you all sang to her and candles were lit and blown-out, as with anyone's birthday. She has a strong smile still at age 85 years.

[@jolobrutto1469]

Carlo is like my husband--i can take him out for a simple, quick errand and end up coming home several hours later because of his chatting with people. I hope that Indie will recover quickly. I hate taking my cats to the vet. It breaks my heart when I have to leave them there for some procedure. Loved seeing all of the food and pastries!! Have a great week.

[@marafarnham595]

Thank you Nicki and Carlo! Beautiful sights! Happy Birthday to everyone 🎂🎈🎉🎊🎁🤗❤ much love!

[@claudiaulrich5445]

How wonderful that Nonna Adele is still so healthy and fine together with her loving husband. You are blessed Carlo still having your parents 🙏 Thank you for this video, very nice filmed and so interesting that Positanos "lives" also in winter without the tourists, wonderful little bakery 👍💓

[@Temptation666]

Sky is born on Grandma's birthday? That must have been the best birthday and birthday gift Grandma has ever had ❤❤ I can't imagine how wonderful she must have felt. Happy Birthday to both of them

[@janetyamashige9573]

Happy, Happy Birthday to Carlo's Mamma and Skye!❤💐🎂🎁 I'm glad Indie did well in her spay surgery and I hope her recovery is fast. Nicki and Carlo, I love all your videos, all the travel ones are great, but the ones like these are my favorite-- when you're just staying local and living your life. I love to see you run your errands and to watch Carlo stop and chat with everybody/anybody when you're out, just the normal day-to-day stuff. So grateful that your family members are so generous and open their homes and lives to your camera! PLEASE don't ever shy away from this type of content or think it's boring--it's not, it's fabulous! Random thought: The plate that your pizza was on is so pretty! Thank you for the video!😘

[@kfkforsling]

I’m so happy you’re a responsible pet owner. I used to live in American Samoa and at the time, no one spayed or neutered their pets. There were so many strays in terrible condition. Mean wild dogs. As we were there they Gina hired a vet to come to the island. My husband was part of a program that went from village to village to sterilize all the village dogs and cats. It’s really the most realistic and responsible thing to do

[@heatherwoods5469]

I really enjoyed your video this week. The walks, “picnic”, cake shopping and the birthday party. Please give Nonna birthday greetings from Australia. Your Vet encounter with Indie brought back many memories of the day we took our black labrador Maggie to get “fixed” . The whole experience was quite different but I thank goodness we didn’t have to carry her down so many steps. Loved the aerial shots too, Carlo. Greetings from Melbourne 🦘🇦🇺🐨🐕‍🦺

[@CrisTina-tp2jg]

Yes, we should all spend more time outside.

[@andrzejkorytkowski8151]

I just love this simple everyday life you are showing! So comforting and relaxing. I wait for this all week every week. Hugs!

[@janetyamashige9573]

Agree!!!

[@lorettaweber7737]

Happy birthday to Nona. Love the Italian birthday cakes😊

[@carolynhoover9444]

I wish more people would be educated to the problems of dogs not being fixed. We have issues here as well, but in some areas, volunteers try to get the dog or cat to neuter and find a home. Yet, too many aren't lucky to end up in no kill shelters. Happy belated birthday 🎂 to your mom, Carlo. Lovely video.

[@WorldWideWebObserver]

Hello Nicki & Carlo! Spaying and neutering is the responsible thing to do. Thanks for mentioning this. Always enjoy the beautiful scenery in lovely Positano.

[@lindaromano3734]

Beautiful..thank you! Tanti auguri a Nonna! Absolutely love that pizza oven & the bakery! Brave Indie too! ❤🍁

[@lindaromano3734]

Nicki..just an FYI. Received a 'telegram' message from you supposedly. I know it wasn't you as you've told us in the past about these fake accounts. Thank you for keeping us posted. Question I have to anyone..is there a way to BLOCK these types of accounts on KZbin?

[@lieuwina]

From a pizza to birthday cake and a wonderful birthday party at the end what a lovely day. Happy 85th birthday, Nonna. Carlos you have a lovely family.

[@tinahemminger1372]

You are being a responsible pet owner. And she will feel better too not going in and out of heat. Who cares what others think. Your take good care of your fur babies. 🦋

[@debbiedennison]

Yes to The Year of the Picnics!! Indie was a champ and happy birthday to Carlo’s mom and Skye!

[@kathymahon335]

Happy Birthday to Nona and Skye! Prayers for Indie that she’s feeling great soon! Oh my! That bakery! I would be in so much trouble if I lived there! Thanks Nicki!

[@DIANEWEATHERFORD]

What a beautiful cake! I’m so happy Indie made it through her surgery! I wish every furbaby had the same care you give your babies!

[@anacarpenter9254]

Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 The Darlings of Positano 🇮🇹 Nicki & Carlo today's busy day from your beautiful home to 🚶‍♀️ hiking then Carlos parents from there to the vet for Indie with Holly lovingly reassuring her buddy. Carlos mums 85th birthday day and food. Akind of 2023 resolution picnic meals 😋 the Sorrento bakery awe. You both 🚻 look healthy happy, ... the incentive as a couple 💑 is bountiful.ILOVEIT.

[@monicack523]

Thank you Nicki, for doing the right thing !! The stray population all over the world is heartbreaking and inhumane. The last thing that is needed is 10, 12 puppies.

[@heraniarojas8124]

Happy Birthday to the beautiful lady! What a relief to see Indy well and happy. Here in my country when the vet sterilize a female dog they came with a collar around the neck to avoid the dog to break the stitches of the wound. We have to care good care of her for a week. I saw Indy very well and normal.

[@jessicastrideart]

What a lovely family Carlo has!💖

[@Muffy.from-Oz]

Happy Birthday to Skye and to 85-year-old Nonna and may they both have many more. Wishing Indie a quick recovery, back to her bouncy self. Indie and Holly looked so Cute in the back seat. After seeing this lovely sunny video I have also declared 2023 the Year of the picnic. Blessings to you all Muffy from Oz.

[@darlenemills3942]

Beautiful family ! God bless Carlo’s parents 🎉

[@sandicarpenter2658]

What a beautiful video! Loved every minute. Always very special when we see the Nonnas and Aunties...the older generation are so very special. Your care over the doggies is just wonderful Nicki....Sandi x

[@lindalaliberte8704]

It was so lovely spending time with you, your family and the puppies. The Indy and Holly reunion at the Vet's was so cute. Picnicking at the beach was so beautiful. My mouth was watering when looking at the assortment of goodies at the bakery.😋 The cake for Carlo's mother was beautiful and how wonderful to be able to celebrate with family. 🙂💙

[@Susan.I]

Indie and Holly are so happy to see you both and each other!

[@helenross7751]

Felt the love for Indie when you greeted her at the vet ❤ Lovely family time celebrating Nonnas birthday and that amazing cake shop !!

[@pennyjacomos3461]

Hi Nicki and Carlo, You continue to give my 34 year old daughter and I complete joy watching your videos, before we do school pickup . We are happy to watch your earlier videos over and over. It is balm for the soul. I am always up to date with you current videos. My daughter wonders whether you can see your house from the beach at Positano? From Penelope in South Australia.

[@NickiPositano]

Hi Penny, Carlo here, Thank you so much for watching our videos so assiduously! No you can't see our house from the beach, because it's nestled in the valley!💕😘

[@danapapamanole2122]

Happy birthday to Skye, and so glad Indie did well with the surgery…Ireally love your videos, thank you Nicki for sharing your life with us..until next week!

[@rebekahsalt26]

❤ “The oven gives good bread” made me smile 🤭 heehee.

[@janetlombardi2314]

One thing I love about the Italian's as I spent a lot of time with the Italian family is their focus on keeping such an immaculate home and food. Preparing fresh, wholesome food each day.. Indie was so happy to be back home she was going back and forth to you both. Bless her. I hope she is fine after the op. The cake shops in Italy are the best I've ever seen. 😋 Having the beach to yourself with no tourists must be awesome. Tanti Auguri Nonna. Thank you for another great video. Much love ❤️

[@christineevans8998]

LOVELY, as always! Italians certainly go in for sweet things, so tempting and sinful. Makes you want to try everything! Thanks and congratulations for a fascinating video about those everyday events which you transform into superstar quality ones. Have a wonderful week! 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Hi Nicki - I stumbled upon your vlog after looking for content for my 88 year old Mum to watch who is in love with Positano but sadly not able to visit again. Wonderful content and much in awe of how much you have achieved over the years. It’s not an easy achievement!

[@Sarah-zg5qs]

Happy Birthday Carlo's Mama! it's always best to spay your animals, it's healthy for them.

[@starsrhi2335]

HELLO FROM TEXAS - This was a delightful video, filled with fun and humour too. Glad pets are well, say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SKYE TOO ! What a difference the sun makes, as we thank the Lord for it's warmth and healing. The Italian bakeries are something I long for, they are marvelous, and filled with delights I don't have here. Thank you as always. Be safe. Love.

[@loisbanks3614]

Lovely Nicki and Carlo. Indie is a sweetie and may she make a full recovery. That Pizza! So glad you can walk on the beach without tourists :) Thanks for sharing your family memories - very precious and I feel privileged. Best wishes to you all.

[@mashkoorfarooqi777]

Holly is beautiful, I hope and pray that she stays healthy and lives a long long life!

[@jc1619]

Here's to 2023! The year of picnics!! 😊 Sounds wonderful!

[@vevethatsme]

Happy Birthday to Skye & Carlo's Mom. Hope pup is healing well. Thank you for sharing, love getting to see inside homes/lives of the older generation of the people in your town.

[@judiemjacobson4613]

This was a very special video. So nice to see Carlos family. And I was so tickled to see Indie running back and forth not knowing where to be with you or with Carlo. Thanks so much again for taking us with you. Love and hugs

[@laurenfung2398]

Love your videos and content. Thank you for being a responsible, loving owner of pets. Thank you for sharing your life with the world. ❤

[@elizabethann9152]

Both your parents celebrating birthdays so close. Each one so different and yet so much the same. So lovely and loving. It is us watching our parents walk through the door to the next phase of their lives. We aren't far behind.

[@pattyfromfl]

I love seeing the puppies, they get along so well. In the States, we drop the dog off and leave and come back later after their surgery. Everything in your vlogs makes me happy! What an oven! Thank you for sharing!

[@normawright3179]

What a great video - you outdid yourselves this week. I don't know where to start. First, glad Indie is doing well. Any operation is scary but thanks for being responsible parents. 11 puppies...oh my - no, no. I'm glad you were able to get out and about and do some hiking when the weather cleared up. And the pastries???? Really? My mouth is drooling - how could you choose? They looked so good all the way across oceans to the east coast of the States. Thanks again for sharing your lives, have a great week and we'll see you next week. BTW - tell Skye...Happy Birthday!

[@pamelajackson2383]

i loved seeing nonna's birthday cake, one layer and pretty---when i travelled to umbria with my cousin, he had one just like that one night for his birthday. So different from the cakes here in USA and so delicious. Indie is doing great post surgery ! Holly looked so concerned at the hospital....so cute.

[@renakins5749]

Thats really cool that you get to stay with your animals while they're going under in Italy. In Canada - we drop off our pets and the vet takes it from there. You don't usually get to see them until they're ready to be released (unless they're really having separation anxiety in which case the vet might let you go back there and say hi). Which is a little sad to be honest because they're going through so much and they don't get to see you for a pretty long time. Anywho! I like that you can have the vet come to your home to do routine operations. That would not be a thing in Canada because .. regulations I guess?

[@janetyamashige9573]

Agree. It's same here in the U.S. as in Canada, or at least, this has been my experience my whole life. I wish I could be with my pets until the sedation kicks in and they fall asleep for their surgeries.

[@lindamasson8799]

Happy Birthday to your Mom Carlo, the cake and bakery shop was amazing. Thank you for taking us on a picnic and wow Indie is such a beautiful girl I laughed at Holly sitting on her in the car.

[@susiehulett5498]

A very happy birthday to nonna and skye, was lovely to watch indie bounce around when you picked her up from the vets, really look forward to watching you every week, i could have so dived into the cakes lol much love to you all xxx

[@bellaRe_1]

Yes Nicki, it's called intubation when the e-tube is placed at time of surgery. In America, surgery is done in a sterile environment just like they do for humans. Owner's are not permitted into the surgery suite. Also, owners do not assist in any way with the procedure. Owners want the same health care for their pets as they get for themselves. Indie needs to keep her exercise down while she is healing. It's common for young dogs/cats to develop a suture reaction at the incision site if they run around too much. That reaction looks like a large bump at the incision site. It's tender until it gets drained or allowed to resolve on its own. .....As for the sweet shop, OMG!!!! YUM!! I would spend all day choosing too lol! Thank you for the lovely video. Hug Indie for me please and tell her she's a good girl

[@annah8380]

I always enjoy your videos! Holly and Indie are so sweet and lovely pups! I agree with you on Indie’s procedure, it is so sad seeing stray dogs 🥺 P.S. you were right, the English word was “intubate, intubated” 😊 Please keep the videos coming! 🥰

[@debramartinez2665]

We call those a string of pearls ❤ love the video,,,love your life! Spaying a female dog is the best thing for their health!!!!!

[@AvaT42]

Another enjoyable vlog Niki!! Is good you had your dog sterelized. Was lovely to see Carlos family. The cake was so pretty!😍 if i was in that pastry shop i would not want to leave it everything looked fantastic!

[@sarahr9181]

Spaying and neutering is actually the kinder thing to do I my opinion. You’re doing a wonderful thing for Indy!!! ❤️

[@susanmorgan995]

Wow-Drone through the Bell tower??? Bravo Carlo! So nice to meet your Aunt Rosalia! & her beautiful oven & home. Happy 85th Nona! Nice bakery & cake!!!

[@judithgreen3689]

Congrats on Carlo's mom 85 years young! She looks great. How nice that Nicki was able to hold Indie until she fell comfortably asleep. Here in the states, no haven't had that experience, may not even be allowed. And, then you carried Indie down or was it up? all those steps. How sweet. Love that they built their house around the pizza oven. Only in Italy!

[@laurawilliams5363]

Your two back seat drivers are doing a great job making sure you are going the correct direction!

[@susandimaio2183]

Carlo and you have such wonderful family and friends. You are truly blessed. 🥰🙏🏼

[@triplet3023]

What a wonderful time you gave us:). I enjoyed every minute of it (selfishly wishing it would not end). The birthday cake was beautiful. Happy birthday to Carlo’s mom. Thank you for sharing these magical moments of your life, your family’s and Positano. The bakery shop, OMG, my mouth is still watering. Ciao - see you next week.
