Summertime in Menton - the Sheep who Swims in the Sea


Woolite loves to swim in the sea with her owner Philippe (see yesterday's post). Here she is saying Bonjour to a Jack Russell terrier. In the smaller photograph, like everyone else, she takes a shower after her swim. And below you see her in a race with her owner. Click on Riviera Dogs for another few of the little dog - plus his ball.

  1. I think this is fabulous, Jilly. A sheep pet. Somehow when I say that five times really fast it still sounds odd.

    But it looks real good to me. And your photography is faultless.

  4. Anonymous - I can think of no greater compliment than to be muddled in name/blog with Nathalie. I adore Avignon DP and Nathalie knows she is a total inspiration to me, creatively and photographically.

    So, thanks but truly - it's a pleasure! (big grin...)
