For anyone that follows my Menton Daily Photo blog, they will know this was taken outside the Beausejour restaurant in the medieval village of Gorbio - the pot in the last photo is a giveaway.
Not all Yorkies have ears that stand up. This is eleven year old Rustine and her ears are down and isn't she lovely. Looks like she's been to the coiffeur recently.
I love boxers but confess I don't take them at Pension Milou simply because they can be rather dominant with other dogs. Doesn't stop me liking them tho... 
It's no surprise that Weimaraners make such wonderful photographic subjects as they produce such a variety of funny expressions. Take a look at William Wegman's amazing photography.
A Doberman with cropped ears. I thought it was banned but perhaps not in France. She's a lovely girl tho - called Venus, 7 years old and lives in Paris. We met in Ventimiglia, just across the Italian border, a short while ago.
This is a much-travelled Mexican Hairless dog. Milla was born in Sweden, now lives in Switzerland and was walking along the port of Saint Jean-Cap-Ferrat when I met her yesterday. She's one year old.
We met little Frisbee in the last posting. This is her Mama, Astule. She's 5 years old. Yorkies are so expressive with their ears, aren't they? Up, down, back...
Another hot dog I met in Ventimiglia market. This is Frisbee, aged one year. His mother was being walked on a lead and we'll meet her next time. I think this family came from Belgium but I can't read my writing...
A hot dog fixed to a wall at a beach in Ventimiglia. At ten in the morning it was bearable but later reached around 37 degrees - too hot for me. Hopefully this dog had been taken home long before then.
Well...not a very good photo of a dog swimming but I know readers sometimes like to see the context of where we are. This is the River Roya which joins the sea at Ventimiglia, just across the border in Italy. All those vans you see in the background are part of the chaos of Ventimiglia's famous Friday market.
This dog lives in Bussana Vecchia, a medieval village across the border in Italy. It was totally destroyed in an earthquake in 1887 and then slowly restored in the 1960s. You can look at Menton Daily Photo to follow the story of this amazingly beautiful village.
Don't you just love dogs like this. I don't know his (or her) name or where he lives. The photo was taken in Menton so perhaps he's a local. He looks a good age, doesn't he?
The last few days I've been deleting a ton of photos as my hard drive is fast filling up and came across this little dog. I took it about 18 months ago when I'd gone to Latte to shop. Latte is the first village across the border in Italy - they have a good supermarket there. This little cutie was sitting in the bar with her owner. I took a few shots but when I got home decided they were all out of focus. The smaller one is, but the first one isn't - so here she is, rather later than intended.
Pepita is a Pyrenean Sheepdog (sometimes called a l'Abri here). She belongs to my neighbour and she looks a ragamuffin because I just trimmed her - rather badly - with scissors, but in my defence we always have a bit of a battle on trimming day. I'll tidy up those wispy ends...
Some dogs love riding motorbikes. This adorable poodle was in Menton for the Bastille Day celebrations.
This charming Yorkie called Pasha, is 12 years old. He doesn't look it, does he? I met him in Monaco on le rocher, where he and his family were enjoying the carnival - hence the ribbon on his collar.
Meet Abby - a very lucky dog. She's two years old and until recently lived in a breeding kennel in the Var. She had one litter of two puppies and was then put up for sale.
Regular visitors to Riviera Dogs will have met the Beausejour dogs of Gorbio before. On the chair is Boutchette and at her feet is the most recent addition to the family, Galinette.
This little dog is often to be seen running around Place du Cap in Menton. I think he lives in Rue Longue in the Old Town.
This is tiny Greta, named for Greta Garbo. She's half chihuahua and half shih-tzu and lives in Menton. She's not had all her vaccinations yet so I wasn't able to stroke her - too too too cute...
