There are two beaches that allow dogs in Menton - so both are great places for me to take photographs for Riviera Dogs. Dogs are very much part of Summertime in Menton though, so here's a happy dog today.He's a four year old Labrador on holiday with his family from Milan. His name is Giorgio and he'd spent the day playing, swimming, having the greatest fun with a dog he'd met on the beach - a Golden/Pyrenean Mountain Dog mix called Astuss. You see them swimming together on the left. You'll find another photograph of Astuss on Riviera Dogs today. Click on the link - probably a better, sharper photo than Giorgio's but I wanted you to see Giorgio jumping for a stone.
The energy, such joy in life - living in the moment. Dogs teach us so much.
That is a perfect picture of two pals having a neat vacation. What a treat it must be for the dogs.
ReplyDeleteavec cette chaleur dans mon bureau, je prendrais bien la place des chiens ;o))
ReplyDeleteDogs vacationing on the Riviera. That cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteThey say it's a dog's life.
ReplyDeleteOh - to be this dog, today.
I love to see dogs on beaches, specially if they're swimming! :)
ReplyDeleteLove to see both of them, they're so cute... But wait, is that a rock? I hope he didn't hurt himself if he did catch it..
You have a Great photo blog.It is the first time that I visit it.
ReplyDeleteHe is actually smiling in anticipation! Pure joy.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment on my Artists Portraits series today. I responded to your question further down in the comments page.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about dogs and water? It must be something in their genetic history as hunters, letting no obstacle get in their way. But, like most dogs, these two are simply having fun. Human children are usually the same way. Someone should let the cats in on the secret.
Oh, such refreshing photos. Would love to plunge in along side the pups.
ReplyDeleteStrangetastes - You've obviously never seen the videos on YouTube of kittens with boxes. They looove to play!
ReplyDeleteWow, these dogs are beautiful! This morning I took my friend Craig's dog to the vet's. Kaity had a cancer in her leg. We feared she might have to be put down but noooooooooooo. I'll go and take her back tomorrow morning. Her "dad" is in Africa and I am taking care of her.
ReplyDeleteThese are such great shots capturing the personality of these two.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful dogs...I didn't know dogs were allowed on any beaches in the Summer..wish it was a bit closer to me. My dogs would love the water..
ReplyDeleteIf you could wrap these dogs up and post them too me.... How wonderful are they. Far too cute.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing quite like watching the sheer joy of a dog fetching something thrown in the air. I rather wish it was a stick than a rock though. I hope he didn't break any teeth.
ReplyDeleteMme Benaut...I saw that rock too and wondered. These dogs are magnificent and so happy. Puts a smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of two dogs at play. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dogs!
ReplyDeletetrès beaux labrador
ReplyDeletetu n'emmène pas tous les chiens à la plage sinon tu fais cela toute la journée ?
Great pictures!! LUCKY dogs!!
ReplyDeleteI love all your summertime photos. They feel me cool in this heat of summer. Menton is really a lovely place.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweeet - going on holidays and making a friend to play with!
ReplyDeleteI love this. My parents have a sausage dog (funny name in english ^^) and I miss her so much...
ReplyDeleteReally a great shot.. you want to swim with them :)
They are so cute! I wish mine enjoyed the water -- they look like they are having so much fun!
ReplyDeleteMy dogs have taught me patience. I love them to bits.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I don't think they would have gotten along so fabulously with either Giorgio or Astuss as they are not very tolerant of other dogs. :-(
