In keeping with the theme of the happiness that our dogs bring us (or cats too!), I can’t help but share a series of videos that I took the other day despite the fact that I had other posts prepared.
The other evening the light was lovely and I thought that it could be a good moment to try and capture a certain video that I had in mind for a while. Following the interest in My Dream Houses in Arles, I had decided to film some of my favorite haunts around town and started with the Cour de L’Archeveché where I go frequently to play with Ben.
Save that Mr. B obviously had another plan in mind and decided to become a dust-ball. Here is demonstrating his infamous “Digging to China” move, one that is put into motion only in moments of utter abandon.
And then, for only the second time in his life, he jumped into the fountain in the middle of the Place de la Republique, much to the delight of a large group of Japanese tourists who applauded and filmed the entire thing. Me? I was laughing too hard as you can hear! I especially love his stoic expression. Ah, to be a dog during the Dog Days of Summer!
Thank you all so much for your kind wishes about my Sister’s visit. She has arrived safely and we are having a wonderful time!
Trop mignon! I guess I'm not the only one who is loving the animals this summer! I guess we can't help but fall victim to their total cuteness.
Have fun with your sister! 🙂
What a fun post! Loved seeing your beautiful dog and I know how he feels! We are in New Orleans for a few days with our daughter and her husband and their poor dog is so hot here! Whenever we walk he LONGS for puddles of water to splash in! He would be in heaven in that beautiful fountain! I will have to show my daughter, Holly this video! Thanks for sharing them!
Great to hear from you Karena! Hope your summer is going well!
Heather he is such a precious fun-loving dog..yes that face and his expressions are priceless!

I actually saw one of the Roma or gypsy kids swimming in the fountain the other day! Looked good to me too!
I still would love to see photos of your pups at some point Leslie! Have a fantastic time this weekend–how wonderful…yes, the happiness they give us in so pure, isn't it?
Bravo Contessa! Ooh, I can't wait to see photos of Theodore, what a great name! And yes, those pups of yours better behave but at 15 pounds something tells me that the cat can take care of himself!!
And yes, it was in the 90s that day and still in the high 80s when I filmed them–Ben was in survival mode!
"Took good care of us"–so perfectly said. They do, don't they? I know Ben takes that job quite seriously actually and hates it when anything is amiss. Very happy to have brought back some good memories, BLW.
Thank you Victoria! Robin has headed up to see her boyfriend in London for a few days but we have been having the best time!
Isn't that funny? I can "put one on" for you in the future! 😉 I am still very much American in so many ways…
