The Flower Dog
A hot day at Monaco's market in Place d'Armes and none of the dogs were interested in posing.
This one is doubtless wondering why on earth his owner is taking so long at the flower stall. I've a feeling he might have perked up had it been at the meat counter.

Galinette
She is called Galinette from the book Manon des Sources by Marcel Pagnol. Perhaps you saw the film. And the reason for her name is that she was an anniversary present from Naila to Yvan (owners of the Beausejour restaurant in Gorbio) and their beautiful daughter is called Manon.
Beautiful daughter, beautiful puppy!

Pixie
This is Pixie. She lives with two Bedlington Terriers who we'll meet another time. Pixie is epileptic so has to have medication every day. She also has medication for her heart but she is on good form and you'd never know anything is wrong. And if anyone arrives she doesn't bark, she screams and you'd better believe it! She has one loud voice for such a tiny dog. Pixie lives at Haut de Cagnes which is a beautiful hill village along the coast from Nice - she lives way up the top.
You can see Boutchette, the Bassett Hound, playing with Gorbio village children HERE.

Daisy
Like most labradors, she is beautiful but sheds hair everywhere and as she got older she got naughtier and naughtier - at one point she thought it the best fun to chew my walls! Now she is older - around 18 months and things have settled down ... a little! I have to say tho I have a very soft spot for Daisy.

Woody
Woody is a cross between a Husky and a German Shepherd Dog. He's two years old and lives in Berlin. As you can see he only put his ears up on one occasion - all the time asking 'Do I really have to do this?' Such a lovely kind dog.

The Bulldogs?
This was published on Menton Daily Photo a few days ago and it was suggested I should put it on Riviera Dogs.
This guy works on a clothing stall near to the market in Menton and was more than happy to have his tattoos photographed. Left to right - Lady, Churchill and Petula. He insists all three are English Bulldogs but the one on the left looks like a Boxer and the one on the right a bit like a Pit Bull.
Tomorrow - a real dog!

The Beausejour Dog
Riviera Dogs has featured Boutchette, the Bassett Hound before. Last August she was 6 months old - the resident Beausejour dog - and sitting in the sunshine. Do click to see a better photo than today's because after endless heat and sun, it clouded over and even rained about three drops, but I'm not complaining other than lack of light in photos.
Today she is sitting outside the Beausejour, the great restaurant in Gorbio village and what she doesn't know is that tomorrow she gets a new sister - a miniature shih-tzu.
If you wonder what is on the paving stones behind her, well it's hopscotch - French hopscotch - bright colours and not a child goes by without hop, skipping and jumping on it.

Tess - thrown in a bin at one day old!
With no mother to train them they don't react quite like normal dogs. I've cared for two of them now at Pension Milou and both share similar characteristics. They are needy, incredibly hyper but adorable, they can open every door in the place (grrrr...) and they bark like crazy if other dogs play but they'll run for a ball endlessly. They have to be temped to eat at first but later they do well. They seem to be a mix of pointer - perhaps there is some whippet with that tuck-up. I don't know about those ears tho and the undershot jaw.
This is Tess, who lives with a guy and his wife-to-be, both of whom work on yachts in the south of France. They adore her. Lucky Tess eh?

Bassia - Hot Dog!
He sat in the shade with a large plastic bucket of water offered by the management.
Bassia lives in Monaco. He's three and a half years old and he's a mix of a Boxer and a Dogue de Bordeaux and you can clearly see both breeds in him. A sweetie.
