Time to Box

Much of Larvotto Beach in Monaco is closed for winter. But nothing will stop this lovely boxer asking me to throw the ball yet once more! His owners are closing up their shop for the winter.

This is one of the photos you'll find on my stand at PhotoMenton, Palais de l'Europe, Menton. Open until Sunday. Do come along and say Hello!

Une grande partie de la plage du Larvotto à Monaco est fermée pour l'hiver. Mais rien ne peut empêcher de ce beau boxeur de me demander de lancer la balle une fois encore! Ses propriétaires ont fermé leur boutique pour l'hiver.

Ceci est l'une des photos que vous trouverez sur mon stand à PhotoMenton, Palais de l'Europe, Menton. Ouvert jusqu'à dimanche. Venez et dites moi Bonjour!

Titine and 1664

Titine in Menton.  Don't think her tongue is long enough!

The dog who thinks it's a cat!

Titine, the French bulldog, thinks she's a cat!  She and her owner Denis, who live in Gorbio, are at Sini's restaurant in Menton - a great place for a light lunch - perhaps a slice of pissaladiere and with a glass of wine, of course!

Titine , ce bouledogue français, croit qu'elle est une chatte!  Elle et son propriétaire Denis, qui vivent à Gorbio, sont au  Sini, restaurant à Menton - un endroit idéal pour un déjeuner léger - par exemple  une tranche de pissaladière avec un verre de vin, bien sûr!

Didier

This dog looks like a poodle, doesn't he? In fact he's an Italian breed called a Lagotto Romagnolo. He's only 10 months old and is called Didier.  Dider lives in Nice. 

Biggie

Meet Biggie!  A 3 month old Jack Russell terrier looking too cute for words!
