Fête de la Branda -Dogs à la Mode
Copyright 2009 Menton Daily Photo. All rights reserved.
The Fête de la Branda in Gorbio draws an enormous number of visitors, many of whom bring their dogs with them.
Chihuahuas and pretty ladies who wear lots of jewelry seem to go together. Some people love them, some don't - they do seem to have become rather à la mode with so many actresses walking around with them in their handbags...
These two live in Ventimiglia, just across the Italian border. The long-haired one is called Shogun and the smooth-haired white one is called Tokyo and as you can see in the last photo, little Tokyo isn't just a lap dog - he has no fear of a dog bigger than himself.
In the cage behind them, are chickens and guinea pigs for sale.

Wait a minute, Jilly....Tokyo is smiling !
Jilly, I'm afraid you've gone to the dogs....and I'm so glad you have. This is such a fun trio. I hope Tokyo is as friendly to cats.
Ah! so sweet, but the little guy in the top photo looks a wee bit weary.
PS. Still not back permanently. Stay happy while I'm on sabbatical.
O Jilly I burst out laughing at the top photo!!! That is just priceless. The bottom photo reminds me of the Pepper Place dogs I've caught a few times. Great great post. You've made my day dear friend.

Almost any chihuahua I've ever met has been brave -- or at least, put up a good front.
It's snowing in Calgary. Your Blog helped me this morning...
so i recommended it to all my readers as a cure for the blues.

What a great shot of the dogs trying to touch noses. We have seen this many time in our dog walking activities.
Chihuahuas are big dogs at heart. The ones in my neighborhood are brave!
That Chihuahua looks like «Louis» feels today...
;-(
Okay, this wins today's Gratuitous Cuteness Award. But who could resist?
Not sure if this dog is cute or ugly! Great photo either way!
A friend has just gotten a Chihuahua, so I will send her to your smiling pup!
Aha Jilly, you're in your element here and that top portrait is just astounding !
Are dogs that size usually scared of much larger dogs?
