First real public excursion October 2010


Hi, it's me, Flo'.  Here is a picture of me with Daddy at almost 4 months old in Saint Malo, France just starting to use a leash.  As you can see, I'm not much bigger than a thumbnail, but I'm the one on the bottom left of the photo, and obviously, the most important.  We went to one of my human's favourite places inside the ramparts, La Bergamote.  It's a beautiful, family-owned tea room/retaurant (complete selection of Mariage Frères teas) which features delicious hand-made quiches, salads, and of course, the most delectable selection of desserts I've ever gotten to see (but, not have), all in "Texas-sized" portions.  On a sunny day, sit outside on the terrace facing the Saint Malo cathedral.  If you have to wait for your table, go peek inside the stunning cathedral across the street - no, God in France doesn't let dogs inside churches :-(.  If it's raining, inside it's cosy and warm, with great jazz tunes in the background.  NO!  I did not go to the potty on the floor inside the restaurant, even though I was still hard at work mastering the art of "going to the potty outside" in general.  Woo-hoo for me!

If you're ever in Saint Malo, check it out.  But call in advance for reservations (especially for a terrace table, of which there are maybe 3), and to make sure they're open!  They are "good-dog" friendly, otherwise - they wouldn't get my "paws up!"

Bonjour!  My name is Florette Freton and I am a 2½ year old pug living in France with my humans. They love to travel, discover indigenous food, interesting wine, colourful markets, hidden local restaurants, and beautiful spots as well as cook at home for friends. 
 
Luckily, they love me too, and take me with them everywhere they go, so I’m always at the center of the action... and of course, the life of the party!   

 
I’ve been keenly observing and smelling all of this from ankle-level (whether travelling or from Mommy's kitchen floor) since I made my debut on planet Earth.  I usually get up to table-level too, though only for socialising and "people watching" after the good stuff is already gone!

 
I’ve decided to share some of my adventures, smells, tastes and tips as they arise, peppered with my personal commentary, directly as I experience them – from ankle-level. 

 
I hope you enjoy the “walk outside”, and welcome your comments – whether human or otherwise.

 
Flo’
