Mika and puppy


Gorbio. This is Mika with one of his 10 adorable puppies.  They are a mix of American Bulldog, Ipso (that's Dad) and Mama, who is called Gandja, and is a mix of Boxer and Golden Retriever.

Not long now and they'll be looking for their forever homes.

Sacha


Rough Collies used to be a really popular breed. I suppose from the days of 'Lassie come Home' but nowadays they are rarely seen.

I met this beauty in Ravello, on the Ligurian coast of Italy.  He's called Sacha and he's 3 years old.

'Ours' and the photography magazine


This is my rescue dog 'Ours' displaying a French photography magazine, Chasseur d'Images, which features an article on Laure Agneray. Laure photographs her three children and has recently published a beautiful book, ''Confiance et Reves Eveilles.' Totally inspirational and gorgeous photography.

Santa Margherita puppy


This very young puppy was being led along a street in Santa Margherita, near Portofino in Italy.  The young owner didn't know what breed he is. She said 'pastoral' but that's all she knew.  He looks as if he might have had his ears and tail cropped. Hopefully not.

Thank you to a reader who suggests he is a  Caucasian Ovcharka and indeed it is a breed who has its ears cropped.

Woof!


This little dog, who lives in Rapallo, Italy, wasn't too happy at being photographed. He's certainly cute though.

A dog's need


All a dog needs, apart from food and shelter, is to be near his human ...

I think this dog is a Laekenois, a variety of Belgian Shepherd dog. Not sure tho!

Attachment



'Fall in love with a dog, and in many ways you enter a new orbit, a universe that features not just new colors but new rituals, new rules, a new way of experiencing attachment.'

Tess and ball


Tess and ball.  We've met Tess before on Riviera Dogs - she was found at 24 hours old, along with her three brothers and sisters, tied up in a plastic bag and thrown into a rubbish bin. The pups were hand-reared by the kind lady who found them - and look at Tess now. 6 years old and one happy dog.

Harley the Bloodhound


Bloodhounds are not for everyone (as you see they do drool!) but I, for one, love them.  This is Harley, he's 5 years old and he lives in Monaco.  Harley ended up in a refuge in Belgium and from there he was rescued by his current and forever owners. Lucky boy!

This old Yorkie belongs to Alain, who lives in Gorbio village. She is being walked (sort of!) by Alain's granddaughter who lives in Senegal.

Tess


Tess is a pointer mix who had a very bad start in life.  She was put into a plastic bag, along with her three siblings, when she was less than a day old - and thrown into a rubbish bin.  Fortunately the puppies' cries were heard by a kind lady who hand-reared the puppies.  Tess is now eight years old.

This is a Elfy, a truly cute 6 year old Boston terrier who lives in Paris.  For friends who know Peter Olson (Peter's Paris) this little dog belongs to his daughter.

Cuba ... from Cuba


This cute pup with amazing eyes is called Cuba, which is no surprise because she comes from Guantanamo, Cuba.  She's a 4 month old hunting dog and lives in Dolceacqua, Italy. She was in Gorbio recently with her owners for the 'vernissage' of art (from Dolceacqua) held in the Chateau Lascaris.

11 July 2015

Luca


Tiny button nose, too cute for words, this tiny Yorkie was in Gorbio last night for the opening of the most recent exhibition in the Chateau.

He's only two months old, lives in Menton and is called Luca.

Hector



Weirmaraners are SO expressive. Just love this breed. So of course it was great to welcome Hector and his slaves for a stroll around Gorbio village.  In the main photo, Hector is tucked into a niche at the super Restaurant Beausejour in the village.

Hector's owners are good friends who live in Marseille - a city I hope to visit one day.

'Ours' after two months


Some of you have kindly asked how 'Ours' = Bear (pronounced Orse) my newly adopted dog is coming along. Well here he is after two months here - he loves the garden, he plays BUT he is still terrified of any visitor and lives in fear of the someone coming through the front gate. But there is progress - and of course I'm in love!

A pat on the head


A pat on the head by a stranger for this little Cavalier who has been tied up, in the shade.  He is more interested though in watching his owner, who came back for him almost immediately.
