Mermoz
This leggy pup of 5 months lives in Nice although I met him walking along the old port in Menton. He looks to be what they call a Griffon-type dog in France but perhaps he's a specific breed and I forgot to write it down.
Look how kind his eyes are - he'll grow to be a wise ol' dog one day.
And the Winner is......
BIG THANKS to all the imaginative folks that commented. It really was great fun.
In all honesty, this was hard ! There were way too many great comments, so I had to ask for help from other blog writers. The consensus of the authors was that this comment, as it was said to me, "shows a total lack of good judgement in the name of fun." Winner !
I can't list them all but here are a few of our favorites :
" It's so embarrassing when he picks me up by the handle."
"Timmy's in trouble!! " ( think Lassie )
" RUN.....I HEAR BANJOS!! " ( poor taste..but funny )
"You know...This is only happening because you're holding that dog treat..."
" Next on "Pitwatch!" Johnny saves Pamela from a giant catfish "
" I need a word with my stylist.... "
Thanks again for playing along. You guys are the best !

Benefits of Using Pet Beds in Pets
Dogs are excellent pets that your family can nurture. Training them however, may be a Herculean task if you do not have sufficient knowledge about the appropriate methods. Dog whisperer potty training is vital to ensure that your pet dog is always clean and healthy. Aside from potty training, using pet beds prevents dog illnesses symptoms to surface. These symptoms often indicate the presence of pathological diseases. It is therefore important that you should provide your dog a pet bed. There are several benefits of using pet beds for your pets.
Here are some of them:
Sanitation and Hygiene
This aspect is crucial to the health of your dog. A pet beds provides a proper hygienic place for your dog to stay and sleep in. This would keep him healthy and strong. The bed should not be soiled with urine and fecal material to prevent contaminating your pet with the following harmful agents:
• Intestinal parasites like Ascaris lumbricoides and Enterobius vermicularis, which can initiate malnutrition and intestinal blockage
• Ticks, which can cause skin irritation and eventual infection.
• Harmful amoebas like Entamoeba histolytica. These protozoans can induce amoebic dysentery and tenesmus or bloody stool
• Hepatitis virus which can be contracted from urine and food. This can result to death if left untreated.
The pet bed will not only protect your pet from illnesses, it will also prevent you from contracting them if he has any of them.
Special Features
In cases when dog illnesses symptoms appear, you can use beds with special features. There are various designs for different dog needs. Older dogs need orthopedic pet beds and dogs with bone injuries need a specially designed foam bed. There are also ergonomically styled beds for dogs with joint problems. You may want to try the ortho lounger, the luxury sofa or the thermal pet beds.
Safety and Comfort
The pet bed will prevent accidental injury to your dog due to falling objects or sharp corners. The soft cushion and durable bed material will allow your dog to sleep comfortably. It also protects him from inclement weather. During cold weather, the water repellant material will enhance warmth and induce heat production, while in hot weather; it will reduce heat for a cooler and fresher bed surface. It will also ascertain that your dog will not get hurt in cases where he stays in bed for long periods because of certain physical disabilities.
The dog whisperer potty training introduced by dog trainer Cesar Milan demonstrates how to potty train a dog properly. Milan features dogs in his popular television show and shows how to teach them discipline without hurting them. If your dog is well-disciplined, he would benefit the most from a pet bed. He would not soil or destroy his sleeping cushions because he would be trained not to do it. A well-trained dog would be a blessing and joy to you and your family, especially if you have small children. They would surely enjoy romping with a clean and healthy dog.
The Bicycle Dog
Some dogs have it all worked out, don't they? This Yorkie looks perfectly capable of walking alongside his owner but prefers to sit in the basket of her bike. Clever dog!

Bermese Mountain Dog
I'm sure this dog really loves to play at his pet beds.
The Bermese Mountain Dog was bred to be the farmer's companion, and today, a Bermese Mountain Dog will want to be by your side at all times. They make a great family dog, and usually single out one person in the household to be their best friend.
The Bermese Mountain Dog was bred to be the farmer's companion, and today, a Bermese Mountain Dog will want to be by your side at all times. They make a great family dog, and usually single out one person in the household to be their best friend.
They are loyal and devoted and will strive to please you. They are excellent with kind and gentle children. They are extremely intelligent, and are known for manipulating their humans. Because of their intelligence, they need to be mentally stimulated.
They are gentle, easygoing, good-natured, affectionate, and docile. They are incredibly devoted to their own family, and generally aloof towards strangers. A tendency to be shy runs in the breed, and early socialization is important. Most Bermese Mountain Dogs do well with other animals, but some of them do chase smaller animals. They need daily exercise, but not as much as some more energetic breeds.

Water Dog
This lovely dog was frolicking on the rocks on the day the Newfoundlands were giving their display. I think he wanted to prove it's not just Newfoundlands that love to swim!
