Papillon

A pretty Papillon photographed at San Remo dog show.

Blossom

Meet Blossom.  She's a Havanese (the national dog of Cuba) - and she lives with her sister part of the time in the UK and part of the time in Monaco. Here she is thinking life must be better the other side of the terrace railings.

Roxy

Thigh Bone

This is one happy German Shepherd who walks around Menton with a thigh bone in his mouth!  Here he is in Place aux Herbes.

Faithfully Yours

This faithful dog wouldn't take his eyes off the entrance to the supermarket as he waited for his owner to appear.

Mia

Sometimes I look through old photos - don't we all!  Here's Mia, a Bassett Ariégeois   - I adopted her from a refuge years ago and she died last year.  She was a lovely dog although always scared of the world because of her past. Loved other dogs though - and me!

Min Pin waiting

A little Miniature Pinscher tied up outside the bakery.  Don't worry, his owner wasn't away for long.

After the party

The parade is over, confetti and streamers litter the ground - and just a touch of sun remains on this lovely Brittany Spaniel on his way home from the Lemon Festival in Menton. 

Feet ...

Feet, feet, feet ... thousands of feet, human and canine, walking to the Lemon Festival (Fete du Citron) parade in Menton.   These two French bulldogs look as if they don't want to miss it...

Gucci

This dog is a real character.  Meet Gucci - a Welsh terrier who lives in Gorbio, a hill village near to Menton.

Hémy and Rosie

This is a photo I took about three years ago.   Hémy, a Havanese is on the left and Rosie, a Llasa Apso, is on the right.They live in Monaco. At the time I was looking after them for their owners and they had the best time playing with each other.

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!

Dachshunds Rule!

Dachshunds rule! Especially dachshund puppies!

Blue Plastic

Don't you just love the home-made dog walker?

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!

Emmanuelle and Joe

So proud that this photo was awarded 2nd place in the '7th Regard Photographique 'Concours Photo de La Rue - Club Photo St. Laurent du Var. Thank you to the judges and congratulations to my friend, Philippe Chiodi, who was awarded first prize.

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.
