Cleo
A brisk wind meant this little 4 year old Chinese Crested needed her tartan jacket. She's called Cleo and lives in Menton.

Ugly Mia?
After all those beautiful dogs at Crufts, how about an ugly one! She's actually rather beautiful but the beginnings of a yawn can create a weird expression like this.
This is one of my rescue dogs, Mia, who is a Bassett Ariegois - a French hunting dog - sort of like a Bassett but with long legs. She used to be terrified of the camera. She still is terrified of other people. But now, when I'm photographing another dog, she'll push her way in and stare at the camera.

Here he is again, this time in his winter coat and of course an older gentleman now but looking really fit. He's a mix between a Shihtzu and a Yorkshire terrier and lives in the village of Gorbio with his really nice owner, Muriel.

This is Eole, she is from Brittany and was in Gorbio for a short visit with her owners. Eole is 3 years old with such a gentle, steady, kind look in her eyes, don't you think?

I thought he was a Westie with a long foreface and understood his owners to say he was a Westie but am now assuming I'm wrong, so have changed the words here.

Fanny and Emma
Some of you will remember Fanny, the little poodle, who was abandoned outside my gate nearly three years ago. She was in a sorry state at the time, an old lady of 13. As you see, she is in much better health now although she still has problems including a dodgy heart. She's a happy camper though and now that she barks less, I'm a happy camper too ...!
She's found an adorable friend in little Emma who is the daughter of the family who own Paisley and Raffa, the golden retrievers we saw in the last post.
When they collected their dogs, Emma fell for Fanny and it seems the feeling was mutual.

Maya the Mastiff
I met Maya, an English Mastiff, whilst shopping in Menton this morning. Maya has appeared on this blog before - 4 or so years ago - but as she is the only English Mastiff in Menton I couldn't resist photographing that lovely slobby face once more. She's now 7 years old.
Click link to see Maya in 2008.

Hunique - the Restaurant Les Terrasses Dog
Meet 5 months old Hunique. She's Vanessa's new puppy at the Restaurant Bar Les Terrasses in Gorbio. Hunique is a long haired German Shepherd Dog and already is such a sweet, well-behaved puppy but is one who guards the restaurant at night. Look at those beautiful eyes.

Darius
Meet Darius. He's a 4 year old Welsh Terrier from Normandy, on holiday in Menton. Welsh Terriers are incredibly active dogs - it took about 8 photos to get one where he sat still for a moment. Typical of this beautiful breed.

Lily, the Springer Spaniel
This is Lily, an English Springer Spaniel who lives just along the coast in Villefranche but also spends a lot of time in Paris. I've been caring for Lily since she was a very naughty puppy - she's still naughty even tho she's now 9 years old. She's losing her night sight now - in fact, in low light she sees almost nothing. She has an appointment soon with a Paris eye specialist so hopefully something can be done.
It's not so easy, on a long-nosed dog, to get the eyes and nose both in focus. I succeeded in the second shot but prefer the first!
Click on the link above to see Lily as she was a few years ago.
