I looked at the landscape and took in the fresh sea breeze, this place is so, so lovely and I've got such good memories of wonderful days spent right here meeting and playing with so many doggies and humans heart

Well, I am in a position to confirm that sign is a mere technicality ...

Not only have I been to this beach a zillion times and met tons of other fur friends but the reason why today the beach was to the most part dawgless was because the weather was not very inviting and it even started raining ...

I know, I know ...

You'll say "so what, dawgs don't care about wet weather"

But you've got to remember dawgs here enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle way-cool and so do their pawrents way-cool

We did see a few dawgs later on but they were busy dragging their owners out of the beach, presumably back to the car or back home laughing

I'm in the process of playing catch up, so I'll be back!! I like to savor each picture and the commentary, so I don't want to rush the adventure!

Glanced through some of the scenic photos and am just mesmerized by these beautiful places you are visiting!

LOVE!

But how is your claw, sweet Eurydice? You haven't mentioned your claw. And you don't seem to be wearing your bandage in the pics. Either you are a very stoical super girl, or you have made a miraculous recovery. Maybe both? I think it's the Mediterranean lifestyle. You are super healthy from all that sun and sand and spoiling, not to mention your delicious restaurant meals, so you grew a new claw super quick...

You look very thoughtful looking out to sea, remembering all your wonderful adventures and dreaming of those that are yet to come. I think you are thinking of your many friends too, spread across the seven seas, sending you love and eagerly awaiting the next instalment...

Hugs and cuddles,

Meg, Clare and Elsie Pie xxx

Hey Sally and Clare 💞💞

Miss cow here 🐮

So glad you're enjoying the pictures and my commentaries 🐮👍🏼

Mom always takes me to really beautiful and exciting places but she always says it is thanks to me we find people who share their favourite places with us and then we subsequently share them with others 😉 

As for my claw 💅🏽 the vet removed the bandage day 2 and it didn't look great because my paw was sort of wet and reddish from being covered and kept tight ✊🏼 so she thought (as it wasn't bleeding any more) it would be better to keep it aired.

Mom disinfects it several times a day and keeps a good eye 👀 because the tender part of the nail is unprotected until the nail grows around it but you know what? 

I'm so busy having fun I don't even notice it and in any case Mom is taking me to the vet in Lyon just to check my bum and they'll check how the nail is doing at the same time. 

I didn't know you're a mind reader, Clare 🔮 but you sure are ...

You got it absolutely right.

I was remembering happy days and looking forward to many more but at the same time I was wondering what my Tripawd friends would be doing at that moment and wishing I could play with every one of you 🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶

Lots and lots and lots of licks from moi 👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅
