It's the rain room....

Another visit to the "rain room" the other day!  What is it with you humans that seem to want us canines to keep clean?  The Misses sometimes wears smelly perfumes and the Guv sometimes wears smelly aftershave, why can't I wear nice aromatic fox smelling scent?

Oh no, it's Ochi

Well I had to get out extra early this morning for my walk about.  In fact I did not go to the normal beaches but to our nearest town for a walk on the flat around the harbour.  You see I have hurt my shoulder so walking is a bit difficult at present.
The other reason for an extra early walk was to get out before the big Ochi Day parades start.  Nearly all towns and villages have big parades as it's a national holiday.  Perhaps I should declare a National Rosie holiday as the Guv often shouts OCHI to me!!

Food for friends...

You may recall a few blogs back I told you about all the dog food my people were bringing from France to the rescue centre here in Greece.  Well the other day it got delivered, just over 200kg of it.    For once I did not mind not getting any.

Make it go away...

OK now my homeland is known to be hot and sunny.  I come back here a week ago and all the grass is burnt dry by the heat and sun and what happens just seven days after I arrive IT THUNDERS and RAINS!

I hate thunder.....make it go away Guv

Life's a beach...

So some things never change. Now I'm back in Greece it's up early each morning with the Guv and out for the beach walk.  Yesterday I had a good look around this beach hut someone had built during the summer, not bad either but they have now vacated......I could make it my beach kennel 

Sand or sugar ?

OK, back to my journey.  Now I was mighty pleased to get off the ferry at Patras as I really needed to do doggy things. You see for the 22 hours onboard I just can't as ferries do not have any grass areas!

The Guv stopped the "poppymobile" just outside the port for me but our next stop was not until we reached Zacharo and I was allowed a good run-a-bout on the beach. I really knew I was now back in my homeland!

My room in Italy.....

Woof...the other day when I told you about our stay at La Crota in Italy I forgot to tell you about the great welcome we had by the humans there.  We were shown around and given free use of the both the lounge and the kitchen / dining area. What's more there was fruit, teas and free wine made by the owner of the house.  Under the house was the original wine cellar, but the Misses said the Guv could not go down there, in case he never reappeared.  I had to stay in the room though...

All ship shape....

Well it's "all aboard" again on the Minoan bath tub at Ancona for a long 22 hours journey to my homeland.  I just need to ask the Guv where does a girl do doggy things onboard!

Kitten comfort

Well I've finally managed to get to the computer without my people seeing.  Now as I was saying in my last blog there was an awful lot of activity going on at my pad in France and now I know why..
Off we all went in the "poppymobile" with "big blue" behind us.  This was our second stop, a place in Italy my people planned to spend the night.  What a greeting I had, two horses, a donkey, several canines and cats came to greet me.
I sorted most of them out but actually felt sorry for the kitten, so I let the Guv comfort her....

...and so to bed

Well I guess all the holidays in the "human kennel on wheels" are over for another year as the Guv and the Misses have put it to bed.  Mind you there is quite a lot of activity going on in my pad and I have been told that I will not be able to have the computer to write any blogs for a week or so.  That might mean the Guv has not paid the phone bill !   I'll let you know the reason next week.....

Lumbered.....

Well to continue from my blog yesterday I managed to check just what all this noise was about.  At first I thought it was a strange human building a nest in the tree opposite, but as you can see in the photographs our neighbour decided to have one his trees cut down a bit.  Now the Guv has cut down some of our trees but he does not climb up them to do it.....

I thought humans only cut trees down in Sept-timber!

Hope he leaves some of the tree for my mate "Reglisse" to use!

It's all happening....

OK, so this morning there's noise coming from across the road and I thought I had better investigate.  As a quick look through the garden fence did not reveal much I thought I'd better head out on my people's bedroom balcony for a better view.  Now I can see a white tin box on wheels with the doors open......

I'll tell you tomorrow what happens. 

I'm feeling left out !

Now I feel just a bit left out today, I mean every dog has it's day but I think this is prejudice...

what about us blonds?
