Gail and I had the great pleasure of meeting Jilly today, who runs the Monte Carlo Daily Photo blog. Jilly came to pick us up at the hotel and then she took us on the route of the Monaco Grand Prix. We then stopped for a drink and a spot of people watching at the Cafe de Paris. Jilly had bought along a very scruffy, badly cared for dog, who she had just taken to the vet. The dog was abandoned outside her house last night, and as she looks after canine waifs and straifs, Jilly just had to take her in. Even though the poor dog had matted fur, scabby skin and bad eyes, he or she was so adorable and well behaved. The vet had given Jilly all sorts of pills and potions, which Gail and I hope will help "Lucky" to get better and be even cuter.
Great stuff - meeting Jilly and her dogs - you are obviously having a great time - I'm insanely jealous!
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to meet you and Gail, Christopher. You'll be glad to hear the little dog is so much better. I clipped her coat when I got home and gave her the first medicated baths. Her eyes already are looking better. She makes no tears so will need special 'tears' six time a day for life. She is very sweet as you saw and thanks so much for holding her for me whilst I took some photos. Am separately sending you pics of you both in front of the Sky Mirror opposite the casino. Enjoy your last day in Monaco. Now I have to choose a name for the dog!
ReplyDeleteI read the post about the dog on Jilly's blog and found it interesting. This is just a bonus read and picture. Nice post and am glad you got to see Jilly at her best - caring for animals.
