Apologies for the image being not quite as sharp as usual but I wanted to share with you these two adorable Cavaliers who are walking for charity in Monte Carlo - the same photo is on Monte Carlo Daily Photo today.
This cute long-legged terrier was standing with his owner at the foot of the Old Cemetery in Menton. A mix with quite a bit of Jack Russell Terrier, don't you think? He's a one-year old boy called Cookie who lives in Menton.
This tiny chihuahua lives in Menton and is called Nina - she's one year old. Her owner said she is a toy chihuahua, which I believe is called a 'mini' in France. I didn't know a smaller version of a chihuahua existed. How small can you get?!
This is Scott, covered in sand and seawater, who was having the best time yesterday on the Sablettes beach.
Despite the protection of his raincoat this little dog in Menton looks happy to hop up onto the step and out of the rain.
Cilla is Ted's other half. You met Ted in the last post. Cilla, like Ted, is 9.5 years old and lives in Monaco. Here she is sunning herself on the terrace. Sweet dog.
Ted, the Westie and Cilla, the Scottie, are saying at Pension Milou at the moment. When their owners first called I said 'No.' I love both breeds but have had bad experiences in the past with them being snappy with other dogs. So 'no' it was. Later, my vet called and asked if I'd reconsider and she confirmed they have wonderful temperaments - and goodness, they do. These two are angels.
Have you noticed how, when you get a Yorkie's attention, it can put its ears back? Really saying...'ok, what do you want?'
Those eyes would stop a sheep at 50 metres, wouldn't they?
This is Ayron, a 6 year old Cane Corso Mastiff, taking a drink out of the fountain in the medieval village of Gorbio where he lives with the little bichon you see in the smallest photo.
This is 9 year old Pedro from Milan. I met him in Menton. Isn't he gorgeous. He's a border collie mix.
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.
