One of my sons lived in Lyon, France and sent me pictures of all the places dogs could hang out with their people. I visited him and we spent some time in Paris same there! I think it is beautiful! You are right the dogs bring people together.

Susanna! You have outdone yourself. The article is such a hoot! Knowing Luni makes it even funnier. I never realized that the French had such a soft spot for doggies! Anyway, I'm glad you have him and that he has you! Much love, Wissie

Oh, thanks so much Judith. Very glad I made you laaugh. And yes, should have added a caption. He has his health papers to travel in Europe which they put in a cute little passport folder. So I guess yes, he has an EU passport, and I don't. Ha.

The part about you sneaking around the apartment trying not to wake up Luna is just hilarious!

Would Parisians dote on my 20 lb. Maine Coon cat, Sweet Pea? I would send a photo of her; however, I am technically challenged.

Precious! I love that you know all of the dogs names....and maybe not their owners? Ha! That is how it is in our neighborhood too!
