Hmmmmmm......

Wet bichon!

Wet bichon!

Dog Walker

Walking the dog ... this is Leonie, who lives in Menton and has her owner very well-trained.

Waiting ...

Dogs queue too! A cute bichon, wrapped up for winter, at the Orange (telecom) shop in Menton.

Get me outta here!

Get me outta here!  Sometimes I call in to a dog grooming salon in Menton - the owner is a friend of mine - and so of course I have to snap the dogs.  This little bichon has just been bathed and is waiting to be dried.

Vally

The other day we met Gaia, an apricot poodle who lives in Cap d'Ail. Now meet Vally, a Bichon Frisé who is her housemate. Vally is 9 years old.

The Westie and the Bichon

This is a similar photo to the one I put on Monte Carlo Daily Photo today.  This adorable Westie and Bichon are on the terrace of a bar/restaurant in the beautiful medieval village of Eze, which is along the coast between Monaco and Nice. I don't know the names of the dogs as I didn't chat to the owners on this occasion.

The Chef's Hello

No close up of this little bichon but I couldn't resist snapping the chef bending down to say 'bonjour.' This was taken in the ancient village of La Turbie which is on the Grande Corniche above Monaco.

Pink for a Girl, Blue for a Boy...

Two adorable Bichon puppies out for a walk in Menton's pedestrian street yesterday afternoon.

The Annonciade Bichons

On Menton Daily Photo we are currently on a walk to the Monastery of l'Annonciade. On the way, half hidden behind a gate, we found these three Bichons Frisés. I know nothing about them but they obviously spend a good part of their day keeping an eye on the visitors and pilgrims who make this trek to the monastery. You can see more by clicking on the link.

Skippy

Wet feet, beautiful dark eyes - this is Skippy, an 8-year old bichon from Belgium. On holiday in Menton - I told Skippy's owner how sorry I was the weather is so awful but apparently they'd been here a while and had had lots of good weather too. So that's good.

Chou-chou

There's are two or three beaches in Menton that allow dogs - so it's a great place to go and find them. Over the next few days we'll meet some of the beach dogs to be seen on one of the beaches yesterday.

This is Chou-chou - he's 5 years old and lives in Menton. He's a cross between a bichon and a poodle, which you can see in the amount of coat he has. He's probably due for a haircut.

Black eyes

Waiting in the queue to buy some bread, I couldn't miss this little bichon staring at me with his big black eyes. I don't know his name, just he was happy to gaze at the camera with so much trust. Aren't dogs wonderful!

No dogs allowed!

Dogs are forbidden in supermarkets in France but as you can see, not everyone abides by the rules. Madame has to shop, after all, and so she walks the aisles with her petite chienne and fills her chariot with the week's food. This was taken in a supermarket in Carnoles, a suburb of Roquebrune-cap-Martin.

Bichon in Monaco

This young girl carries her bichon near the port of Monaco

Relaxing, the harbour before her

And here, she kindly posed for a photograph with her little dog.
