A lucky dog in Nevers, France

We’ve been without internet for some days but are now in a hotel in Paris. Four of us fly out in the morning. While in Nevers in France, we visited the markets and I spotted this dog which was sitting in a child’s carrier behind a bicycle. I hope he was well enough to spend some time walking rather than being confined to a carrier. I bought a couple of books at the markets and one of our group purchased a small, old, wooden crucifix. By the time we left the markets it was around lunch-time so we picked up four pork pies and some artisan-made bread to take back to the boat. Tomorrow we’ll be met in Dublin, Ireland, by our son and the next part of our holiday will begin.

The dog looks to be quite old, he's lucky to have loving humans to care for him. I hope you're having a lot of fun.

The weather has been very good overall. We're in Ireland now and will be with our son for the next two nights. Then we're moving into an AirBnB but will see him most days.

Judy, are you seriously in Paris right now? I've been in Paris for the past four days, I just flew home last night (Sunday, 4 PM Paris time). I really, really wish I would have known you were there at the same time I was, we could have finally met up in person!

@JudyEv There was a small window of overlap that could have made it possible, but like you said it would have been very tough. But it really would have been worth it just to meet you in person! I hope you have fun in Ireland!

@moffittjc I'm sorry I didn't follow up on it but I wasn't sure of our time-line at the time. Others were doing the organising and I was just going along for the ride. Such a shame. :(

We got into Paris on Saturday about 3pm and flew out Sunday morning. We're now in Ireland. It might have been hard to connect but what a shame we didn't realise it. Stranger things would have happened.

I actually have a trailer for the bike that was designed specially for pets. I use it to transport the cat carrier to the vet

This would be a similar trailer I would think. I can imagine it would be handy for many things.

@Ronrybs Oh wow!! You should do a post about them. What is the difference between them? Is it only just size? Or do some have more specific functions?

@JudyEv I suppose this would be a good time to say that I have five different bike trailers!

What kind of dog was it? A small one or is that the dog in the picture? Maybe the dog was old or had some kind of handicap.

@JudyEv yes he does look like an older dog. You can see the white on his nose and around his eyes.

@JudyEv I see the dog in the picture. I was wondering what that was that he was sitting in. He looks very satisfied there. That should be nice to see your son.
