Summertime in Menton - the Beach Companion


A contented dog, sandy face and feet, cuddled up next to his owner on one of Menton's dog beaches. Tomorrow - we'll see the rest of the Lady on the Pink Towel - and a longer shot of this dog beach.

  8. I know what this skin will look like in about 40 years.

    Old, cracked, spotted, leather.

    It is a shame.

  11. I think that allowing dogs to remain with their owners on beaches and in restaurants and stores is VERY civilized. I wish more countries would do this, esp. my own. I have never caught any health-related problems from a dog, which is more than I can say about my fellow-humans. Have a good week!

  12. We can only take our dogs to a section of the beach at certain times in the evenings on weekends. This one looks quite worn out from his/her day in the sand and water. Great shot.

  13. I can tell the gender of the owner, but it hadn't occurred to me to discern that of le chien.

  19. There's nothing like the love and devotion of a dog. I can tell that this one has really made sacrifices for his owner, you know, accompanying her to the beach, keeping her company while napping, etc. He/she looks like a real sweet companion.

  23. We took our dogs to Ft. Myers for the weekend. They were not too interested in the water, though. Sigh. Oh, well. . . .
