Look at that face! This is Chula, an eleven year-old Sheltie who will steal your heart and perhaps your baguette if you aren’t careful!

I was so delighted to come across the utterly adorable e-book “Dog Trots Globe” by Sheron Long, in which Chula shares her experience living in nearby St. Remy while exploring the heart of Provence–not to mention a glamorous trip to Paris. Now, I know that my fellow dog lovers (and even the one cat lover here–you know who you are!) will get such a kick out of this. Sheron comes from a long career in publishing, so be ready for a gorgeous interactive layout but also be prepared to be caught off guard with a fit of the giggles, as I was several times while reading it.

And for those of you ready to turn up your nose (or your muzzle) at a story told from a dog’s point of view, don’t you dare! For the all of the facts are interesting ones, details about life in France are spot on and wittily observed. Even my Ben could not have done a finer job.

I was equally charmed by the delightful photographs as I was by the adept illustrations by Darius Detwiler. This book would definitely make a lovely gift for your francophile friends this summer. I hope that you enjoy meeting Chula as much as I did–a rendezvous is in the works for her to romp with Ben in the Alpilles this fall…to be continued…

Four times, Judy?! I can't imagine Ben getting on a plane. Gus is an old pro at it! And wow, a life split between SF and Provence is a pretty fabulous one…
I just order the book for my iPad. My lab, Gus has come with us from San Francisco to Provence 4 times. We have a house close to Maussane and since we are usually gone for several months, it only makes sense that Gus come along. I am certainly looking forward to reading this book. Thank you for suggesting it.

This is very sweet… He had a fab time in St Remy I believe!…xv
