Gypsy and Halie
Look at the cuties I met in Gorbio village yesterday. On the left, Gypsy, a Papillon mix and on the right Halie, a Miniature Pinscher. They are currently in Menton for the Fete du Citron and come from the Cantal region of France - where the cheese comes from!

Barilla
This is Barilla - she's a terrier mix and is sometimes cared for by my friend Sylvie in Menton, when her owner goes away. Note: her partially blue eye. You see this sometimes in dogs - even with half a brown eye and the other half blue.
She's named after the Italian brand of pasta!

Scaredy cat
'No chihuahuas were hurt in the making of this photo!'
Ears back, this little cutie is a bit scared. But come back tomorrow and see her in a totally different frame of mind.

Japanese Chin
Here's a breed you don't often see - a Japanese Chin. It's a type of toy spaniel and was well-known to the Japanese nobility. It's also known for have a 'strabismus' of the eye. And no, I didn't know what that meant either! Apparently it means it has a squint! I met this little cutie in Menton.

Begging Bouchette
This is Bouchette, the Bassett Hound who belongs to the Restaurant Beausejour in Gorbio. In fact, she's sitting on the terrace of the bar opposite, Les Terrasses, hoping for a morsel from the table and not getting it ...!

Table Dog?
This Jack Russell looks as if he's standing on a table but in fact he is standing on a wall alongside this restaurant in Place du Cap, Menton. Dogs are part of life in France and if you go to a restaurant, then of course, your dog can go too. I approve!
