The Dog in the Wheelchair

No, nothing wrong with this little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as she is pushed through the Christmas Eve crowds outside Menton's market. She's simply having a ride in her owner's wheel chair.

Cavaliers, with their markings and those eyebrows, sometimes look so worried, don't they? Like a clown.

Hunter

Hunter is an old dog now and totally adorable. He's mostly Jack Russell Terrier and was born in England but now lives in Menton.

This Christmas, Hunter is staying at Pension Milou but he's appeared on Riviera Dogs before. You'll find some pics I took two years ago at his home HERE.

Happy Christmas from Marlow!

Marlow and Riviera Dogs wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

This photo was intended to be where it is, on Riviera Dogs, but last minute I decided it would suit Menton Daily Photo too, being Christmas Day - so apologies for showing it twice to readers of both blogs.

Marlow is eight and a half and lives in Monaco and when he arrived at Pension Milou for his holidays he was wearing this Santa hat - so it had to go back on for a short photo session yesterday. Woof!

Thank you so much to the dog lovers who follow this blog. Big hugs to your dogs - and you - from me. What would we do without our dogs?

Coffee

This lovely dog is called Coffee. He was walking near to the Old Port in Menton. Coffee is 9 years old and lives in Cuneo in Italy.

Mr. Chips

Pugs - you either love 'em or find them ugly. I happen to love them.

Meet Mr. Chips who lives in Monaco - I met him one day walking near Larvotto Beach.

Trolley Dog

This photo was on Menton Daily Photo yesterday but here it is again for readers of Riviera Dogs.

France welcomes dogs almost anywhere. No problem taking a dog to a restaurant, of course - a water bowl will be is provided. This is Danette, a 3 year old Bichon Maltais (Maltese Terrier) making sure her owner has bought the right dog biscuits in the supermarket.

You often see little dogs in a shopping trolley in a supermarket in France - or hanging off it, like Danette.

The Pleasure of Goldens

Two Golden Retrievers walking up from Port Hercule in Monaco to the Casino area. You can see the pleasure they bring by looking at the faces of the two ladies who have just noticed them.

That's what dogs do. Bring joy to people.

Crumpet

This is Crumpet. She's an eleven and a half year old labrador who lives not far from Bandol in the Var - fairly near to Toulon. Isn't she pretty? She's quite a small labrador. Small and beautifully formed as they say.

Donald

Isn't he gorgeous... This is Donald, a 3 year old mix who lives in Menton.

Creole the Guide Dog

Meet Creole, a 4 year old Guide Dog. She lives in Menton and I loved that her owner lets her off-lead to go and play with other dogs for a few minutes.
