This photograph was taken one day after this lovely dog was given her new forever home. No wonder she is looking a little bewildered.

Ours under the fig tree

This is Ours, under the fig tree. Ours means Bear in French. He's a hunting dog who had been in a refuge for two and half years before he came to live with me. . He's a wonderful dog, but terrified of the world and hides whenever I have a visitor - this after over a year of living here. It's probably not going to improve - he's even scared of the wind!

But he's happy now- so joyful at food times and when I come home - and trusts me completely - it goes without saying 'he's my beautiful boy' and I couldn't live without him!

Hot Lab

Who doesn't love a black labrador? This one is hot as he's being walked in the middle of the day - not ideal.

Coiffeur on a boat

If you live on a boat in the port of Menton, then that is where you get groomed ...

Whilst his owner checks out the second-hand books in Menton, this lovely Border Terrier is more interested in the camera.

04 July 2016

Peille 'pick-up' bags

All along the French Riviera you'll find these green boxes that contain 'poop' bags. No excuse for owners not to pick up after their dogs. This is in the beautiful village of Peille, way up in the mountains above Monaco and Menton.

Setting up shop with the dog

These enterprising children are setting up shop in Portofino in the hope of selling their bracelets to tourists - helped, of course, by their Jack Russell terrier.
