"Cha Cha?"

Airdale dreams,watercolor on Etsy, 5.5" x 7.5

Now for a little silliness because...

...well just because.

If you're into big rambunctious dogs, then go to Chateau Chantilly vite! Being mainly a "hunting" chateau with a huge emphasis on les chasse, there are hounds of all sizes all over the place. Hotdog dreams,watercolor on Etsy, sold 5.5" x 7.5 Not a big rambunctious doggie...ahem Ah Ha! Oui, un grand chien, again at Ch. Chantilly. They are both inside and out. Back in Paris, this time inside the Carrousel du Louvre shopping mall, a "doggie" bank I was flirting with but resisted the last minute.. Last seen in the 13th arrondissement, this Parisianne Poodle! Need I say more? Seen at the Bastille Brocante, another HUGE oversize, fierce, rambunctious hound... A little yappy dog, that I was allowed to hold, while it's owner went into Gerard Mulot for a pastry - YUM (for the dog I mean) My secret ambition? To be a Paris dog walker!

NO DOGS ALLOWED! in this fromage shop? Pourquoi? This is France n'est pas? In the METRO, dogs are allowed. YAY! And not just one doggie... Regarde TWO tres bien elevee chiens! (very well behaved dogs) And now for the bone of contention... In his interview with ABC's Barbara Walters, Barack Obama talked to her about her dog and his own puppy preferences. Politico reports that the host actually sent the Obama's a photo of her pet, but it doesn't seem to be the President-elect's type. Obama: "Cha Cha?" Barbara: "It's short for Cha Cha Cha." O: "What is a Havanese?" B: "It's like a little terrier and they're non-allergenic and they're the sweetest dogs.." O: [Face suddenly changes.] "It's like a little yappy dog?" Michelle: "Don't criticize." O: "It, like, sits in your lap and things?" M: "It's a cute dog." O: "It sounds kinda like a girly dog." M: "We're girls. We have a houseful of girls." O [with hand gestures]: "We're going to have a big rambunctious dog, of some sort." BONNE JOURNEE!!!!
