Paris Dogs Rule

Does your pampered pet have a diamond collar? Paris dogs do.

Postcards available on every street corner immortalize Paris dogs... Paris dogs are in every art galerie vitrine on the Left Bank... There are many "don'ts" in Paris. One BIG "do" is it's OK to pet a strange dog. If you take your pup to Le Comptoir for Gawds sake take a blankie!
It can be quite chilly if you sit outside... La Mom in Paris sent me this adorable photo of a pampered Paris pet sitting at the dinner table in his/her OWN chaise/chair!
Wha'?A bit more down scale and no special chair, but still an invited guest - this pug at the Louvre McDo's.
"Stop reading and give me a snack svp vite, Madame".Paris dog on the bus in a rather plain vanilla carrier bag...hmmmNo wonder Ralph Lauren has been awarded the Chevalier de la Legion de Honneur ! According to Andre Leon Talley of Talley Ho-Vogue, he has "the new black alligator doggie carrier with a faux-fur carpet interior for €20,000" in his new Paris store". Definitely an improvement on plain vanilla canvas though I wonder how the 'gator feels about it. You can always just carry your dog as an accessory. No carrier bag required.

Dogs do not rule quite as much as they used to.

Things have changed.

A Paris dog can no longer enter a food shop. *note the sign at Eric Kayser. *note the thoughtfully-designated parking place for your hound.

In a fancy department store like Bon Marche, dogs still rule thank you very much. *Note the fashionable studded collar and leash on this fully co-ordinated hound...

Galeries Lafayette even has dog art plastered on the walls at dog eye-level...

If you're going out walking with your hound, by all means dress head-to-toe in royal purple. Your dog deserves it...

I stalked this dog and owner for quite a few paces. Don't ask me why. Nothing all that special, except it IS a Paris dog.

Bergdorf Goodman's is trying desperately to ape Paris ways by placing a dog in their window. But where are the Louboutins? Shoesless? Barefoot? You would never see this on a Paris street!

No Paris dog would permit it.

BONJOUR PARIS DOGS!!!
