Places we went to.....

Now the main purpose of going to Nafplion was so that Mr & Mrs Stop'it could meet their friends from Herefordshire who were due to dock on a cruise liner they were holidaying on. However prior to that we went off in the 'blue tin box on wheels' to have a look around the area. There was lots to see and some very nice harbours like the one in the pictures of Epidavros port, where I was allowed to sit on the terrace with my people as they enjoyed a frappe. I was given a drink of water also.....

We then went to Tolon, now theres a place my people did not like, I heard Mr Stop'it say its was too night cluby and OK for the young people though.......now I'm only two & a half, and in human years that makes me a teenager.....and I really come alive at night, I just love to bark, growl and howl the night away !!!!

I had a friend in BEN.........

We had a few visits from Big Ben throughout our stay on the camp site and as I was saying earlier Big Ben was getting too friendly for my liking. One morning at 6am when Mr Stop'it and I were going out for our early morning walk he turned up and came as well. Now there are some things girls just have to do first thing in the morning without their male friends watching, but did that bother Ben? Oh no, he just followed us about through the fields. So I had no option, and in public to!

So to get my own back on Big Ben I am going to show all of you just how soft he really is.......

A new friend

After looking at a few sites my people found one that had lots of space. When we arrived I knew the owner of the site liked dogs because he had four dogs on the site of his own. Now if we were to stay there I had to make sure they knew just who was going to be boss!

I must say however the first time the "tribe" came to see me I got a bit worried, now one at a time I can handle, but four against one is not good odds.....I kept close to Mr Stopit.

Later that day the biggest of the tribe came around alone, we had a controlled meeting and I found him quite OK, but he did not want to play with me though. We did not know his name so Mrs Stop'it called him BIG BEN. Actually I felt quiet sorry for him, he looked like a big bear and had masses of fur so he must have been very hot. Also he needed a good brush, as his fur was in some places too matted and coming out. Still he was very friendly.....in fact too friendly with Mr Stop'it in my eyes because Mr Stop'it gave him some of my food!

My home for a few days

Well Mr Stop'it hitched up the mobile kennel and off we went. It was probably the longest trip I have ever had, but Mr Stop'it did stop for me to go, well you know what!

It was a good job the motorised tin box on wheels had air conditioning in it because the outside temperature was in the 40's and I could very easily had become a "hot-dog"

My people looked at a few camp sites and ruled out several on the beach front in Deprano, Mrs Stop'it said "you couldn't swing a cat between the caravans"....I thought if we find somewhere she could do that would be GREAT FUN for me !!!!

He got me wet !

I told you I am not allowed in the main house, and when I get taken in there I know I'm in for it! THE WASHING CUBICLE

Guess we must be going somewhere nice because I got a real good shower. I must admit I was a bit dirty and probably smelly as its now very hot here and I know Mr Stop'it complains when I get grease and oil on me from lying under the car or caravan. I actually did not mind it once I was wet theres very little a girl can do but to stand and accept a good lathering and hair wash. Mrs Stop'it took photos of me when I was still wet, I'm not going to show you those though, sort of a "Girl in a wet (hairy) T-shirt porn!"

So I'm ready for tomorrow and my holidays!

Lots of activity about....

Over the last 48 hours there has been lots of activity around the house and my peoples mobile kennel. Now the last time this happened we all went away for a few days, and I am pleased to see one of my sleeping baskets being put in their kennel. I think that means I get to go as well !

I'm glad I do not have to help doing all that loading as the temperature is in the high 30's, far too hot for a dog to work. Now you might recall I am not allowed in the human kennel upstairs but I can go into the basement living area. A few weeks ago my people had air conditioning put in there also, so for today I think I'll crash out in their air-conditioned kennel in preparation for my adventures.

Pups ????

Now the other day my people went off in the blue tin box on wheels and never took me! Some time later they returned and I think the blue box has had a pup! A small green tin box on wheels arrived for Mrs Stop'it.

I had a good sniff around it and I have decided its ideal for Mrs Stop'it and ME. I was therefore even more pleased when Mr Stop'it put one of my cover sheets over the rear seats, that means I CAN GO OUT IN IT as well......

A BAD night

This morning I am somewhat a tired dog! After several weeks of sunny days last night we had a very noisy thunder and lightening storm. Now there are a lot of things I do not worry about but I don't like thunder. Every time I saw a big flash I barked at it and IT BARKED BACK. I think I got on the nerves of Mrs Stop'it because in the very early hours of the morning she came and sat on the balcony with me for a bit. I think her intentions were good, but she is as afraid as I was, so that did not comfort me much!

Mrs Stop'it went back into bed when the thunder stopped, but it came back.....I managed to open the front door by jumping at the handle, but that brought Mr Stop'it out. He was OK though and stayed with me on the couch on the balcony for a bit....I buried my head in his lap and kept my eyes shut until it all went away.......

More trouble I'm in !

Sometimes I just do not understand my people! The other day we had a lizard in the basement and after me watching it for hours because it got into the motor area of the deep freezer, Mr Stop'it got it out and threw it over the fence into the next field. Now that tells me lizards are not welcome...

This morning it came back, so I sorted it!

It was on its way up the stairs to my sleeping area on the balcony, so quick as a flash I got it...took it into the garden and made one large bright green lizard THREE! It would not come back now.....

Then Mr Stop'it shouts at me, takes the bits of lizard off me and throws them over the fence into the field. He would not talk to me for hours. So what did I do wrong?

I got rid of the lizard for them, could have had a tasty snack for free, and I get told off !!!!!!

I got a medal !

I did not feel too well for the rest of the day after I had my injections at the vets, so I took it easy in the basement on the sofa. Now I remember telling you all I was bought a new collar for being so brave, and guess what I got a medal as well.

If you look close you can see the red disk points to the arrow on the top showing my anti rabies injection is valid until 5.2011. Now that lets me travel with the Stop'its through Europe..Oh yes, all except Gt Britain! I think it is about time they started banning human immigration there not picked on us canines!
