Happy New Year

HAPPY   NEW   YEAR

I smell dogs !

Not a lot to tell you this morning apart from the fact that yesterday my people went out without me !  What is more when they came back I could smell they had been with two other dogs.....let me tell you I did not speak to them for the rest of the night.

This morning we went on the normal beach run-a-bout but it was not on the beach where the interest was, but in the air. There were thousands of birds circulating for miles.....uh the Guv forgot the camera though !

MERRY CHRISTMAS

It might be Christmas day but it was still an early up and out for my people and me!  What I don't understand about you humans though is your obsession with snow at Christmas, even in Australia I've seen Christmas cards with snow on them......so I'm treating you to a Greek Christmas, 20C this morning at 0900hrs on my balcony, but just so the Guv does not feel to homesick for the U.K I've built him this "snowman", well sandman really !!!! 

Groving again !

It was back into the olive groves for this mornings walk as many of the groves now have had the olives harvested.  You see when the workers are in the fields the Guv will not allow me to run about there, real spoil sport as I just love running and frightening the locals.......I might be small but let me tell you 90% of the people round here are frightened of us canines!

"Come on Guv, hurry up"

A day out

I thought today I would just show you a couple more photographs from my day out in Methoni.  You see it's so near Christmas and I'm really busy trying to sniff out where my housekeepers have hidden my present !

A good walk......

Today was a very busy day for me and my housekeepers.  The Guv decided he needed his fur cut for Christmas and then it was off to Methoni for the day to meet up with some friends. Now I was quite happy to sit on the sea shore, but no the Guv wanted to walk around the castle, so I had to go as well!

Merry Christmas

It's nearly Christmas.......

I'm not allowed

I've said it before and I'll say it again, sometimes I just don't understand you humans!  You see the Guv never allows me to bring my sticks into the house and he brings a whole blooming tree in !!!!

I'm not talking to him !

So Sunday started as normal, with my beach run-a-bout, but on return to my "pad" I just knew something was up! The Guv & the Misses were going out and as I had not been "dressed" in my normal harness I just knew I was getting left behind!

Ummmph, when the Guv got back I heard him saying he had duck terrine, roast lamb & mint sauce, and bakewell tart & custard with a group of friends.  The point is I never even got a doggy bag!

I'm going to sleep out here now, and not talk to him !

It's time for beer !

Now some of you may think it's not really clever of me being able to get the Guv his can of beer, but the Guv knows I'm brilliant!

Probably due to the fact I get it from the next door neighbour's fridge !! 

My "Wicca" dream......

A little while back my people went to visit my friend "Pal's" housekeepers.  It was most unusual for me not to go with them but I have since found out they have adopted not just another canine but indeed another feline!

Now making friends with another canine is OK, and I actually tolerate Pal's feline friend Charlie, but I have heard such bad things about the new cat they call "Wicca"....so much so I had this horrendous dream last night.

who's Olive ?

mmmmmm!   it's that time of year again when the Misses prepares all these black things that are grown around here on trees in the olive groves.  Me, I hate this time of year, all you humans in the groves sawing off tree branches and making all that noise with chain saws......what's more it prevents me having a run-a-round in the groves.

Mind you the Misses does seem to do a good job, quite a lot of work over a few days, then she has to wash them in salt water time and time again for what seems ages before she puts them in glass jars. Even then I hear my people say they are not ready to eat for a few months!   Just give me a juicy bone I can eat right away,  I'm easy to please!

Think I'd better behave.....

Back to Bouka beach this morning for the run-a-about as the Guv had to go shopping in Messini for some metal bars.  Now I'm not sure what he wants them for just hope it's not a cage for me !  Think I'd better behave for the next few days and play "cute doggy mode".....

No post ?

Well this morning the Guv went to Petalidi to post some mail to the U.K., he was not happy as the post office seemed to have closed down!  Not to worry though I got my beach run-a-bout all the same, and what's more if the post office has closed down I get even longer rides in the 'poppymobile" to Messini....YEH !

another day, another beach

It was shopping day today for my people so that meant a run-a-bout on Bouka beach for a change.  It was good to see that none of my canine friends had been dumped there on this occasion like I normally see.  Mind you it might also be that a person the Guv knows has taken them in and is looking after them.  I know he has nearly 100 dogs now to look after, all of them were abandoned by uncaring humans, many of them also ill-treated.  I really am a lucky dog!

This was not the case at Lidl though this morning, a new canine has appeared, clearly a stray and whilst not looking ill looked very thin.  The Guv gave him a bowl of my "meaty lumps" and a bowl of water. I hope he finds a home Christmas...........
