Windswept

I know nothing about this dog except he stood here, alone, whilst I took his photo. He looks rather windswept, doesn't he? So that's what we'll call him. In fact it was a lovely day - no wind! He's cute, isn't he? He was hanging around the Old Town of Menton - probably lives around there somewhere.

Full Tummy Tuesday!

I had a lot of fun at the Cinco de Mayo Party over at KC and Missy's yesterday! There were lots of cats at the party and even Asta, who is a very nice woofie, came to the party! I had a terrific time but I think I'll have a nice, long nap today. Those were really good Catnip and Blue Fin Tuna Meow-garitas! I even tried the Lizquilla and I brought one home with me. Maybe I'll have it later after my nap!

I think I ate too much roasted chick-hen. I do so love roasted chick-hens! You can see my tummy is kind of hanging over the side because it is full of roasted chick-hen! I even got a badge to put on my blog!
I may be a bit tired but I did survive the party!
Thanks for a terrific time!

The Brocante Dog

Surrounded by bric-a-brac, he belongs to a stall holder at Menton's Brocante, run by the Lions Club. Notice a lump on his head? - really quite big. His owner told me it's not serious, just a fatty lump and nothing to worry about. He's a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and something else - she didn't know what. Certainly a bigger breed as he's taller than a Cavalier. The size is more obvious if you look at the photo of him on his owner's lap on Menton Daily Photo.

Tea Time in the Porch

China Cat and I had so much fun at Gretchen's Tea Party on Thursday that my Food Lady let us have Tea Time with her out in the porch. She drinks tea every day but we are not really tea drinkers. While she had some Irish Breakfast Tea she filled our tea cups with our crunchy food! I was very careful not to knock over any of the pretty tea accessories. See how they all have cats on them! We even got to use a pretty lace tablecloth!

Daisy

Daisy has had a somewhat unsettled life. She had many owners - we don't know how many. When her last owner died, the family didn't want her and she was passed around until she was eventually put into the marvellous Sans Collier Provence. She was looked after in four different foster homes - all good people, caring for her until a permanent home came along. And it did. Luck was about to change for our heroine.

She now lives with Laura and Michael in Cap d'Ail, which is near to Monaco. Laura and Michael have always had poodles and when their last rescue poodle, Ziggy, died far too young, they rang Sans Collier Provence to see if they had a poodle. And of course they did!

I'm not sure who loves who the most but there is much mutual adoration. Daisy has gained 2 kilos, she has 13 teeth - you can see one in the photograph! She's estimated to be about 12 or 13 years old and is the happiest friendliest poodle you can imagine.

Lucky dog - lucky owners.

The Statue

This handsome Shar-pei was on the beach in Carnoles - part of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and he didn't move for at least 10 minutes. He stood in this position - just like a statue. His owner patiently waited as you see in the small photo (click to enlarge). Eventually, the Shar-pei saw a small dog approaching him and then he took off to say Hello to him.

Knock Knocks, Birthday Parties & My Gotcha Day!

Camie's Kitties are having a fundraiser today. For everyone who posts a Knock Knock Joke on their blog with a picture today, they will donate $0.50 to Mu Shue, Lilly Lu and Iris. They were the kitties that were lost in the apartment fire but then they were all found.
Mu Shue was even a hero taking care of the girls.
So here is my knock knock joke: ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Now, there are lots of fun things going on today so I almost forgot Today is My Gotcha Day! Here is what I looked like on My Gotcha Day Four Years Ago Today! I always loved sleeping in my Food Lady's hats until I got too big for them! I will try to show some of those pictures very soon. But today I will be teleporting over to
