Balloo


This is a Griffon Korthals - such an appealing breed.  He's called Balloo, he's 7 years old and he has had a stroke but he's doing well.  I met him in San Remo, across the border in Italy although Balloo and his family live in Castres in south-west France.

A Griffon Korthals is a wire-haired pointing Griffon, thought to originate in Holland.

A Bed of Cobblestones


You'd think these ancient cobblestones in the village of Bussana Vecchia across the border in Italy, would be uncomfortable, wouldn't you?  Seems not. In fact, I worried for one second this little dog was dead as he didn't move until another dog came along and woke him up.

Rita


This is Rita, a two and a half year old Brittany spaniel.  She's sitting by the 300 year old elm tree in Gorbio's square, waiting for her owners who are having a drink in the bar.  Her eyes never leave them. And in the photo below - they are coming, they are coming ...!
