Joy and Lilou

Two friendly Staffordshire Bull Terriers in Menton yesterday.  Joy is on the left and Lilou on the right.

Hyde

This is Hyde - a gorgeous bull terrier pup in the square in Gorbio village. 

Maggie and Mia

This is a photo I published about 3 years ago but here it is again for anyone who didn't see it. Maggie, a red and white Irish setter is on the left, and on the right is Mia, a Bassett Ariegois (a French hunting dog). 

Larry and Haston

Larry and Haston - who seem to have different ideas of where they are going!

Ours under the fig tree

This is Ours, under the fig tree.  Ours means Bear in French.  He's a hunting dog who had been in a refuge for two and half years before he came to live with me. .  He's a wonderful dog, but terrified of the world and hides whenever I have a visitor - this after over a year of living here.   It's probably not going to improve - he's even scared of the wind! 

But he's happy now- so joyful at food times and when I come home - and trusts me completely - it goes without saying 'he's my beautiful boy' and I couldn't live without him!

Fish Stall

Fish stall in Monte Carlo's market. Hmmmmm... no beef bones here!

Dachshund puppies rule!

Dachshunds rule - especially dachshunds puppies!

Prickle

The quiet dignity of an old lady.  This is Prickle, who lives in Menton.

Love ...

L'amour at Monaco Dog Show.

Wet Dog in Sainte Agnes

This wet dog probably needs a hot toddy from the wine shop!  (Landseer, black and white version of the Newfoundland)

Hot Lab

Who doesn't love a black labrador?   This one is hot as he's being walked in the middle of the day - not ideal.

Not guilty!

It wasn't me...!

Coiffeur on a boat

If you live on a boat in the port of Menton, then that is where you get groomed ...

Border

Whilst his owner checks out the second-hand books in Menton, this lovely Border Terrier is more interested in the camera.

Peille 'pick-up' bags

All along the French Riviera you'll find these green boxes that contain 'poop' bags. No excuse for owners not to pick up after their dogs.  This is in the beautiful village of Peille, way up in the mountains above Monaco and Menton.

Setting up shop with the dog

These enterprising children are setting up shop in Portofino in the hope of selling their bracelets to tourists - helped, of course, by their Jack Russell terrier.

Biggi

A tiny Jack Russell terrier called Biggi!
