While poking around various propeller-head sites on the Internet, I ran across an independent software developer in France that had links to sponsor sites on his website. Not being able to resist clicking on any link that has pets pictured on it, I thought it'd only take a minute and I'd be back to my search for geek stuff...

What I found was a complete suprise. What looks like a five star resourt where you can take your dog while you're away on holiday. It's in Côte d'Azur, France, and it's called Pension Milou.

Pension Milou is owned and operated by Jilly Bennett, a show dog breeder and judge, with nearly 35 years professional experience with dogs. She cares for about nine dogs at a time, plus her own two, in her home. But it's not just a house with a yard. The place is specifically designed around keeping guest dogs safe, happy and healthy.

The cost is about 25 Euro per day with a two day minumum. From what I saw on her website, that's more than reasonable considering this ladys qualifications and the wonderful accomodations for your doggie.

Here's a link to the Pension Milou website if you live in the south of France or are just interested in checking the place out.
