Ghost


Some dogs are just too beautiful for words, aren't they? This stunning Swiss Shepherd Dog lives in the village of Gorbio. He's two and a half years old and is called Ghost. Such gorgeous gentle eyes and such a kind expression.

Doggie Transport


An interesting dog carrier in a shoe shop in Menton...

Later, I saw one of the two Jack Russell terriers walking around the town (see small photo) and so presume that perhaps the other one is paralysed.

There's a cute and spoiled Yorkie on Menton Daily Photo  needing to get away from the crowds ...

Waiting ...


This little dog was tied up outside the Palais de l'Europe in Menton yesterday.  He didn't seem too bothered. If anything, he was more bothered by me taking his photo - so I didn't stay long.

Balloo


This is a Griffon Korthals - such an appealing breed.  He's called Balloo, he's 7 years old and he has had a stroke but he's doing well.  I met him in San Remo, across the border in Italy although Balloo and his family live in Castres in south-west France.

A Griffon Korthals is a wire-haired pointing Griffon, thought to originate in Holland.

A Bed of Cobblestones


You'd think these ancient cobblestones in the village of Bussana Vecchia across the border in Italy, would be uncomfortable, wouldn't you?  Seems not. In fact, I worried for one second this little dog was dead as he didn't move until another dog came along and woke him up.

Rita


This is Rita, a two and a half year old Brittany spaniel.  She's sitting by the 300 year old elm tree in Gorbio's square, waiting for her owners who are having a drink in the bar.  Her eyes never leave them. And in the photo below - they are coming, they are coming ...!

Ylan, Bouchette and Galinette


This is the adorable Ylan with Bouchette, the Bassett Hound and Galinette, the Shih-tzu - the dogs of the Restaurant Beausejour in Gorbio. The dogs' names appear in the wonderful Marcel Pagnol books.

Vally


The other day we met Gaia, an apricot poodle who lives in Cap d'Ail. Now meet Vally, a Bichon Frisé who is her housemate. Vally is 9 years old.

Rosie and Hemy


That's Hémy on the left (Havanese) and Rosie (Llasa Apso) on the right. They are only six weeks apart in age so are having the best fun tearing about the place.

You've met Hémy before (click link) when she was a tiny puppy. 

Both of these pups live in Monaco.

Gaia in the Wind


Meet Gaia - she's an adorable, feminine 2 year old poodle with the wind in her hair at Pointe des Douaniers, Cap d'Ail.

The Westie and the Bichon


This is a similar photo to the one I put on Monte Carlo Daily Photo today.  This adorable Westie and Bichon are on the terrace of a bar/restaurant in the beautiful medieval village of Eze, which is along the coast between Monaco and Nice. I don't know the names of the dogs as I didn't chat to the owners on this occasion.

Havana


This is Havana - she's an adorable 8-month old French Bulldog who was sitting on the terrace of a restaurant in Place du Cap in Menton, whilst her owners had lunch. She's a bit mystified by the camera, isn't she?

Hulk

 
This is Hulk, a 3 month old Neopolitan Mastiff, who lives in Menton. He's pretty big at 3 months but will grow enormous and with all those folds of skin will need great care as he gets older.  A Neopolitan Mastiff (or Italian Mastiff) is an ancient breed originally used to guard property and family due to their protective instincts and fearsome appearance. Fang in the Harry Potter films was played by a Neopolitan Mastiff.

Birdy


Meet Birdy.  Isn't she too cute for words!  She's only 6 months old and has already got her owner sorted out with her very own carrying bag!

 Birdy and her charming owner, Patrick, live in Le Cannet.  I met them in Menton.

Xena and Lana


Not all Monte Carlo ladies strut around in 6 inch heels. Some, like these two ladies,  are more interested in their dogs and were taking a rest with them on a bench in the Casino Gardens.

The Griffon is called Xena and she is 4 years old. And the Jack Russell terrier is called Lana and she is 3.

Both are rescue dogs now living a wonderful life in Monaco with these two fabulous Monte Carlo ladies.
