  4. Oh my. Fierce! When I'm out running, there is the tiniest, most ferocious little dog who loves to bark wildly at me as I go by. When he's with his person, he's sweet and wiggly. But on his leash - look out!

  5. Speaking of fiends...those trees look a little ominous. Do they have faces that come out a night??

  10. Wonderful picture, and that brings us to something people always talk about when they talk about the French.

    Have you met the neighbors? Or are the properties too distant?

    Love seeing the rich red early and fresh shoots of grass.

  11. This brought a smile to my faces. Your photos are always magical. Is that a third little furball in the distance? A third neighbor! ... lucky pups. :)

  14. Love your neighbors. My "children" are about that size and we have lots of neighbors like yours. Except they can't run free around here. My littlest tries her darnest get free from her harness and leash and she spends the entire walk trying to out run her Mama (that's me). Poor little girl - she's jealous of your neighbors!!

    LOVE the trees!!!

  16. What a beautiful greeting. That drive way is gorgeous.
    What do they call those trees?
    They are in Paintings going back to the 17 century.

  20. Reminds me of when I was 7,8 and 9 and my family lived in El Paso, Texas (a God awful place) our neighbors had a gang of chihuahuas that tormented me! I am sure their bark was worse than their bite too, but at the age I was, they were terrifying!

  21. Little dogs, especially chihuahuas, hate poor Jones. And he is sweet and tolerant of them, even cries when they bark at him. But he is not a sissy poodle, No! when those little beasties turn on me, then he takes action. Watch out chihuahuas. This is an amazing photo; when was the allee planted? Have a great day!! Mary

  22. What is it about the French and their dogs! When we visited Paris last year, I was so impressed with the care the two-legs took of their pooches. Saw almost no aversive behavior by the handlers, leash tugs, shouting, etc. Very happy to see good care.
