Even Mom had a hard time getting a decent selfie with me in Villefranche-sur-Mer, remember ?
And Mom IS Mom 
So, no matter how much I love these girls (and I do) they are no match for my Mommy
Point is: no selfies !

So, they resorted to bribery ...
I am EXTREMELLY ashamed to say, on this one occasion, I sold my soul to some yummy treats ...
and conceded a selfie ... no less ...

Just catching up, Eurydice. Wow! I look away for five seconds and you've made hundreds of new friends. I think it's because you are so friendly and your magnificent beauty draws people to you. Also, you are a GIANT CUDDLE MAGNET! What an amazing time you are having. I love to see you hopping about like a rabbit and that photo of you on beach guard duty, well that is just splendid. They're all splendid. You, Eurydice are splendid. We love you!
Meg, Clare and Elsie Pie xxx
PS Please give your Mum a big cuddle and lots of kisses from us. She's pretty splendid too
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...

No selfie for Eurydice unless she has control of the camera! Geesh, don't they know?
You are very posh in your booties. You were even tap dancing and I saw a bit of flight even though they are so heavy. You are getting so strong.
Wonderful photos with wonderful visits meeting old and new friends. I'm enjoying your trip. Thank you for sharing Teresa.
Hugs and cuddles for both of you,
Kerren, Eli, and the little miss Mona

Hey Bonnie and fluffies 🌹🐶🐶🐶
Thank you so much for your words and well wishes 😊
Me and Mom are having a Grrrrreat time, the only downside is not having you with us 😐
Hey Jerry 🌷
Yup, I know it sounds crazy ...
I like taking pictures 📷 but hate selfies 📸
I suppose there's just too much pressure with a selfie - don't move now, ohh we were almost there, let's do just one more etc etc
Hey Clare and girls 🌼🐶🐶
Ah ... you are too kind auntie Clare ...
I know I like my cuddles and am always ready to meet new people but I'm sure Meg and Elsie are the same, I've seen pictuuuuuures ...
And as for you, auntie Clare, I have a feeling you are as amusing, fluffy, well humoured and goofy as my Mom 😉😎
Hey Kerren and girls 🐱🐱
Yup, nothing escapes auntie Kerren's well trained eye 👀
I was attempting to tap dance, yes, and as you say my booties are quite heavy ...
I must add some dancing shoes to my next Christmas list 🎅🏼
Sending you all lots and lots of dribble and kisses from Mom 😘😘😘😘💞🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱 we SO wish you were all here 💗
