Fluffing up a Peke

Pekinese 'brush up'  at the Monaco dog show. 

The Lacemaker's Dog

This lovely old Peke was sitting near his owner in Menton. She's an English lady who is part of a group demonstrating old crafts - her speciality being lace making. They live in Nice.

Bibi

Meet Bibi - 15 years old and comfortable on a chair in the Salon de Toilettage of a friend of mine in Menton.

Nora

Nora is 11 years old and I had the pleasure of meeting her walking around the market in Menton. You can just see cheeses in the background! Actually she wasn't walking but was being carried in her owner's arms. Hardly surprising with all the crowds and anyway an old lady deserves a bit of consideration, wouldn't you say? Nora was on holiday in Menton from the north of France.

The small photo is slightly out of focus but with that expression and her tongue out, I had to show it.

Celia

This little angel was being carried around the Christmas fair in Menton. Her owner happily posed her for me, with the rest of the family calling to her to get her attention for the camera. She's a baby, of course - 11 months old and heaven in a little bundle.
