....then came the girl, normally you come back from a broccante with more unnecessary things you need to find a place for, well perhaps we did...but she is worth it and absolutely gorgeous to boot (vide grenier bit like a boot fair). Meet Milou a four month old Berger de Pyrenees, or labrit more info on our lovely pup
Marc and I have always loved Tintin, in fact we saw the film recently and absolutely loved it. Hergé author of Tintin never had a dog in his family until his last years, but in 1929 he was a regular at a cafe where the owner had a terrier—a major source of inspiration for Snowy. The French name Milou is a portmanteau of Marie-Louise, the nickname of Hergé's first girlfriend, Marie-Louise Van Cutsem. Their relationship dwindled because of her father's disapproval of Hergé's low social class, but Hergé remained fond of her and chose the name for Tintin's most trusted friend. I think she will be our trusted friend also.
