a real sweetheart Explanation: No feet involved, but this feels natural to me. Here's the only quote I could find on-line about coeurs sur pattes (someone writing about their little dog - cute pictures, by the way): 'C'est un gros coeur sur pattes, toujour en demande d'une caresse, d'un calin, on sent qu'elle a manqué d'affection, et qu'elle n'a pas connu les caresses avant nous. Elle est d'une grande douceur.' For this heart on '4' legs: Reference: http://lesrefugesdelespoir.com/nous.htm |
