School time.....

After my early beach run-a-bout we returned home and my housekeepers decided to invite my friend REX in to play.  Just what is the Guv trying to do to me, totally wear me out looking after these young pups!

Huh, Rex never knew what was coming though......first the Guv gave him a good brush down (I just kept out the way on the balcony), and then it was lesson time!

Rex's mistress (the human one that lives next door) can hardly hold onto him on his lead, the Guv say I'm a puller (think he meant pulling on the lead, not pulling canine mates!) but you should see Rex, he's the Greek tug of war champion!

Soon my Governor had him sorted though, mind you it cost me.........they were my markies!

Not much to say......

Not really much to tell you all about at present.  Days are hot and dry, the beach walk takes place each day very early (this photo was taken this morning during my run-a-bout at around 7.00am), and I just laze about in the coolest place I can find.

I scream, you scream, we all like......... ICE CREAM

As I said in an earlier blog it is rather hot here now so beach run-a-bouts are even earlier for the Guv and me.  Then it's back home, pull the shutters down and hide in the dark.....

That is until the Misses gives me something to keep me cool..................

I'm not the first ...

Whilst I know the Guv understood about us canines and I had heard him talk about other dogs I had never seen pictures of any of his previous canine friends. So yesterday I decided to have a "mooch" around in the humans cupboards.  I found a few old photos he had stashed away!

Not a bad looking hunk of a dog, now how come I can't find a friend 

like that here in Greece?

Jason. the "ton up kid" (and that was just his weight!)

(oh yes and the Guv's sister..mind you a few years ago !!)

"Its too darn HOT"

Its up even earlier each morning at present for my beach walk as the days get even hotter.  The Guv was up and about at 0615hrs (courtesy of ME), and out on the beach by 0700hrs our our walk.  With temperatures now near 40C on the balcony all a girl can do is sunbathe later in the day..........

As Cole Porter said in "Kiss me Kate"   .........."It's too  darn hot"

Hectic Thursday

Well what a hectic day I had yesterday.  The morning started with my  normal run-a-bout on Risomilos beach but then is was off to see my mate Pal and his housekeepers.  After that my people decided to go shopping in Kalamata and have lunch at the marina. Now I like going there as well because when we sit outside undercover I can see all around the harbour at what is going on.

What's more this time my people met a lady called Lucy and she had a canine friend with her as well.  Now it might have been only small and only one year old but it was initially not too friendly with me, but we soon sorted that out!

Trip "up north"

The trip "up north" on Evia was quite a long drive, but as normal the Guv always stops for me to have a wander about and a drink. The photo below is of Limni where my people stopped for their refreshments.

This is my last blog about Evia, but don't worry I'll find something else to tell you about!

We go to see Kymi

Sometimes I do get things wrong!   Now I know you will be very surprised to hear that knowing what an intelligent Greek canine I am, but it does occasionally happen.....

This was just one of those times.  I heard the Guv say we were going to see KIMI, and knowing just how much my people enjoy F1 Grand Prix I was quite excited that I would meet Kimi Raikonen here in Greece........WRONG KIMI !!!

Where we went was the seaside village of KYMI.  Still it was quite interesting and whilst my people enjoyed their coffee and cakes I met two new canine friends.  Needless to say KYMI was no where near as "fast & busy" as a GP track.

Amarthinos and Karthisos

After a long day we stopped at the beach in Amarthinos, so I could have a good sniff around. My people always find nice quiet beaches so I can have a run-a-bout as I am not allowed on tourist beaches between May and October.

Another harbour visit and coffee stop for us.  This is the southern town of Karthisos. Whilst it was good to see there were lots of road works going on.

We go to Marmari

Marmari, south on the island was another small port my people and I went to. Once again my needs were looked after and there was plenty of places where I could run around.  From Marmari there is a ferry across to Rafinia and I know the Guv thought of taking this on the way back home (so it must have been cheap!)....as it happens he changed his mind though.
