I understand labs are notorious for eating all sorts of things. My DMIL swears that a black lab the family had when my DH was little enjoyed eating rocks and, once, an aluminium pie tin.
I am a small dog owner, but my second, Henry, was a terror as a puppy. Everything that he could access went into his mouth, and everything that went into his mouth was swallowed. Amazingly, he has made it to age 7 without any serious GI problems. Fortunately my new puppy seems both less destructive and less interested in actually ingesting every item she finds.
Well my collar eating darling just happens to be a lab. He ate a perrier bottle once requiring an expensive vet bill for ultrasound. And a new rug. But he isnt too bad actually compared to some labs. The pie tin...rocks?! Wow. A pie tin...well maybe pie remains but rocks? Lingering moss perhaps?
I also have a small dog. He pigs his food (my dogs probably eat better than I do at times) but stays away from everything else. He tries to be perfect.
One of the things I love about France is that dogs are allowed pretty much everywhere. Usually dogs in H! The tourists missing their dogs from home can spot the local dogs from a mile away.
Here in the states I take my dog a lot of places. I push it a little.

HavLab, maybe your little guy could call my little guys? I think they both could use lessons in trying to be perfect!
Oh yes. The French love dogs. Chihuahuas are very popular now. I get sad whenever I see them and I'm missing a Eli. In the US even if we stay at a pet friendly hotel Eli isn't allowed in any of the common areas, restaurants, pools, etc. In RI dogs aren't even allowed in the outdoor areas of restaurants. Ridiculous. Pigeons can land on the table but Eli can't be there. I think they might have changed that recently. Yet another way France is better than the US.
Eli will have to be dressed for the occasion -- remember, perhaps you were one of the persons who educated me on not being recognized as a tourist while in Paris. Trust me, you do not want to be accompanied by a declasse dog (I was going to say a "declasse drunk dog" but I see he's a tea sipper). This is the time to shine.
You have to get a nice Chanel sweater for him with a matching hat with giant ear holes.
If the weather is hot, just get a sweater that is airy and light, with built-in (but not necessarily lacy) air-conditioning. With his own H collier de chien, appropriately monogrammed in gold. Does H have dog leashes?This is a bit of a project, I know. I hope you have time to do this b4 you go. And, do dress him in "Early -- or mid -- Fall 2017," not Summer 2017, lest anyone think you shop the sale racks. Don't forget, he's your ambassador.
Comme Ca, PBP --- This is one
of my favorite society photographs by Jacques Lartigue.
Here's a nice site with lots of dog pix & owners for all you dog lovers (anybody who wants to reciprocate with hippo pix & owners is welcomed ).

Fantastic!
It makes me think of the final of W. Allen's Everyone says I love you, great movie.

Hilarious!
Salad Niçoise is one of my favourites! I can eat it every day when I am in SoF! Yummy!
D'oh, and only now I realize that Salad Niçoise is the same thing as Insalata Nizza!
I was in Bamberg for 2 weeks for Intensive Deutschkurs, but have no (few) relevant pictures. I tend to buy postcards, on the theory that the photographer spends thousands of dollars on gear, years on experience, and however many days it takes to get the perfect shot, and then sells it to me for fifty cents!
I end up taking pictures of the weird things. Thumbing through my phone, I see a dozen shots of a random madonna water fountain statue who I found on a way-far-back road and looks just like my BFF, and a few more of a random hoodie hung on a doorknob halfway down another back road that just perfectly matched the long rose pink wall on either side. Also a van for a Compostela de Santiago motorcycle club - because who knew there was a motorcycle club for a famous walking pilgrimage?
Bamberg is a lovely city, though, that I totally recommend for a few relaxed days. The churches are spectacular, the food and drink are great, and my BF and I just kept walking around saying, "it's just so PRETTY!" Which is amusing, as we already live in what proudly proclaims itself "die schönste Stadt".
I went to Bamberg many years ago now. It's a beautiful city. I went with my SO at the time and he had been stationed there in the army for a while so he knew the area well. We also stayed for a few nights in some small villages that were picture postcard perfect and enjoyed some of the summer wine festivals. I probably would have never chosen to go without his influence but I'm glad I did. It was really lovely. I still remember the church bells that rang on the hour.
Too funny about Eli and his paris outfits. He's not really into wearing clothes or hats. He has a collar and leash for when he goes out. It's a beautiful Italian leather in blue ciel with little rhinestones. Hermes stopped making pet products a while ago. I put in a word for them to bring them back at any opportunity I have. If they ever do you know that Eli will be first in line to buy one. Although he has standards. He's not camping out overnight to get one.

Yes - such a perfect meal! I don't even try to eat tuna in the United States.
