Thea
It's not ideal photographing dogs near to a pile of parked cars, which is how it always is in the square above the basilica in Menton.
Meet Thea, a beautiful Siberian Husky who comes from Cuneo in Italy. She's 3 years old.
Aren't those blue eyes amazing...

Ice
This beautiful Pyrenean Mountain Dog lives in Gorbio and is a two and a half year old male. He's called Ice. He wasn't crazy about posing but was very good at doing his job as a guard dog, despite his owner trying to persuade him to smile for the camera. A lovely rapport though, between dog and owner. She absolutely adores him and the feeling is obviously mutual.

The Pink Ribbon Walk in Monaco
These dogs took part in the recent Pink Ribbon Walk in Monaco - for breast cancer awareness.
The Yorkie with the badge is called Jamie and he's one and a half. I don't know the name of the Chihuahua, so proudly displaying the pink balloon.

Oural
This is Oural, a 14 year old Whippet who lives in Toulon. He was in Monte Carlo for the recent 10 kilometre run - hence all those feet clad in running shoes.
He knows he could outrun all of them and is wondering why don't they hurry up so he can get home to his comfortable sofa...

Spike
Meet Spike, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I met him today in Carnoles, part of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Spike is one year old and lives in Monaco.
I can see I focused on his nose, rather than his eyes but you can see still what a character he is. All he wanted to do was play - not pose.

Gucci
Gucci, the Chihuahua, was in Port Hercule in Monaco on Sunday for the Pink Ribbon Walk - you can read more about this on Monte Carlo Daily Photo.
Gucci is one year old and lives in Monaco. See how beautifully she matches her owner's hair!

Maggie, the Kindest Dog
Maggie is from Canada, now living in Antibes. She was found aged two tied to a tree, emaciated and it was obvious she'd recently had a litter of pups. She was taken to a shelter and was soon given her forever home by a great couple. She's now 7 years old.
Maggie is one of the kindest, gentlest dogs I've had the pleasure of meeting. Isn't it humbling how dogs that have been so badly treated give us nothing but love?
We should always go to a shelter/refuge for a dog - there are far too many, just like Maggie, waiting for a home. And they give far more back than we give them.

Esme and Blossom, Jet-Set Sisters
Esme and Blossom are much-travelled sisters. They live most of the year in England but travel to their Monaco home a few times a year. Jet-set dogs, you could say. They are Bichon Havernais (Havanese). The Havanese is the National dog of Cuba. Rather like a mix of Bichon Maltais (Maltese terrier) and Bichon Frise but with markings of any colour in the white coat.
Esme and Blossom are nine years old. Esme is the smaller of the two and with dark eyes and nose and Blossom is the larger one, with lighter eyes and nose - so easy to tell them apart.

The Borzoi at Carrefour
I've never seen a Borzoi in Monaco before - well except at the Monaco Dog Show of course. But here was one, tied up outside Carrefour, the main supermarket, waiting for his owner who was shopping inside. And you can see the crowd he drew.
Not the sharpest photos as I'd just done some shopping myself and only had my small camera in my pocket.

Buddy
This is 14 month old Buddy, an American cocker spaniel who lives in Monaco. Too cute and with a tail that never stops wagging.

Dogs at the Vernissage
Yesterday afternoon I went to a vernissage of photography (excellent) at the Chateau in Gorbio. Dogs are not allowed into the Chateau or the enclosed garden. The sign says 'Clean Grass. Dogs now allowed. Please close the Gate' - which explains this photo.
I don't know the names of the Bearded Collie or the Swiss Shepherd Dog but you can see they were making their feelings known!

Gin and Tonic
A three-month old cocker spaniel is irresistible... Meet Gin who lives in Montpellier but was in Menton this morning. Isn't she too adorable for words! Look at the blonde baby fluff on the sides of her face - that will disappear soon.

Pam dressed for winter
Do you suppose Yorkies know how cute they are?
This is Pam, she's 5 years old and lives in Menton. I met her on the pedestrian street wearing her winter clothes - very sensible as it's cold here at the moment - well cold by our standards...

Irresistible, wouldn't you say?

Gucci and Bombom
Gucci, the Welsh terrier lives in Gorbio village. We've met him before - click HERE - but today he wants to show you Bombom, the pet rabbit who lives in his house - and for good reason, behind wire. Gucci would probably have him for breakfast!
And to read about one lady's love affair with dogs do click on French Girl in Seattle.
