Lena
This gorgeous dog is in fact a 7-month old puppy. She's called Lena and is a Pyrenean Mountain Dog. She lives in Gorbio which is where I met her at the recent Fete de la Branda. Isn't she fabulous!

Emmanuelle and Joe
Turn right! Turn right! 'Joe, you are not looking in the right direction ...
Meet my beautiful friend, Emmanuelle and Joe, the cocker spaniel. Joe is 4 years old and lives in Nice with Emma and Guillaume.
In the smaller photo you see Patrick, owner of this stunning 1968 Renault 4L.
My birthday was last Monday but yesterday these precious friends and Sylvie organised a surprise second birthday celebration! How lucky am I? Five of us plus Joe in this car, whizzing around Nice, an enormous bouquet of flowers and of course all our camera gear. And a great lunch in the Old Town of Nice. I thought we were all back in 1968!
Thanks so much everyone! I loved, loved, loved the day.

Agility Dogs
This beautiful border collie is waiting to compete in the agility competition in Menton. Alongside, in the cage, is his companion - looks a bit squashed but probably OK when she lies down.
I wonder if either of them won. Border collies are usually the best breed at agility.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day
Today is 'International Talk like a Pirate Day' - who knew! So I give you this tiny 'Pirate' who I'm sure can 'woof' in an 'Ahoy matey' sort of way!
In fact, this little sweetheart is called Shelley and is only 9 months old. She lives in Menton but I met her at the Sospel Agricultural Show last Sunday.

This dog is probably old and perhaps not very well. Perhaps a stray who hangs around outside this bar.

On patrol
This lovely dog patrols the land around the old mill in Gorbio. I don't know her name. She looks to be a setter perhaps or mix between a Brittany Spaniel and a setter?

A Handful of Dog
Don't you love the gorilla t-shirt on this macho guy and then how delicately he holds his little dog in one hand? We met in Ventimiglia. I reckon the dog is the tough one tho!

Isn't she just lovely though? Seems to me you don't often see a Collie these days. She lives in Monte Carlo.
I did write her name down but can't find it. So sorry. And come to think of it perhaps she is a he?

Bouchette and the Red Stilettos
Today's photo of Bouchette (from the Restaurant Beausejour in Gorbio) was taken by my friend, Lisa Luscombe. Lisa loves to photograph her red stilettos wherever she goes. I wonder if Bouchette is dreaming of them ...

A dog in Bari
Not a French Riviera dog but one in the south of Italy. This is a German Shepherd I met in Bari, in Puglia whilst on Carla Coulson's amazing Caravan Travel Photo Workshop. Beautiful everything in Puglia - dogs, ambiance, scenery, architecture, beauty, food, people - loved it!
