I'm off as well.....

Well after lots of worrying it looks like I am off with my housekeepers to the UK and their tour of Europe. The Guv has made a pretty comfortable pad for me in the Picasso, I even have my own special seat belt.  Now just how do I bark in Italian, German, French & English !

Hey, leave room for me!

Well the whole thing started when I observed a lot of unusual activity around my pad. Now normally when this happens it means the "Stop'its" ( you will remember from earlier blogs how I worked out the humans last names) are off and away and I get to spend time with my mate Pal and his housekeepers.  Not that I mind staying with him, but it would be more fun if the Stop'its took me with them like they did last year when we all went on a tour of Italy.  I had great fun putting my head out of the window of the "blue tin box on wheels"  (uh, they call it Picasso......let me tell you its no oil painting !),  and barking at all the foreign dogs. 

Mind you I was none to keen on the bath tub they sailed to Italy on, so if I do get to go with them I hope the "Guv" pays out more than 5 Euro for the trip this time. 

The Italian ferry company should have renamed the ship

Please, Please, PLEASE

How come all you humans get the best tasting things in life? After a hard days work (or so he says!) the Guv normally sits down and has a glass of the red stuff.  Now I know a good smell when I find one, and this smells good.....

Really the Guv is quite bright for a human, saying that he is not much good at sniffing out lizards or frightening the post-man away and just why he is taking so long to learn the language most of the other humans communicate in around here beats me.  However he has got the nack of this doggy telepathy.  So now how do I get him to understand I want the full glass not just a "lick of the barmaids apron!!!!"

He got me !

Yesterday was certainly "wash day" for my housekeepers and besides the "Guv" washing down the tin box on wheels, he got me too!  Tricked into the rain room I got a soaking and a soaping.........but later that afternoon I got my own back getting good and dirty again chasing lizards through the garden.  I don't understand though why my housekeepers get upset with me for doing that, I don't actually eat them, just sort of separate them out a bit.  

Its the doggy version of "Heads & Tails"

The Guv said the photos are far too graphic to show you though !

All to myself .....

Despite now being May and technically I'm not allowed on the beach the "Guv" knows some very good beaches near our house where virtually nobody goes, especially early in the  morning.  The only problem with that is I do not get to chase little old Greek ladies in black or Greek children !!!

I'll be watching you....

Wild flowers & planted fields

Normal beach run again this morning and what a nice sunny morning it was. In fact I got so worn out I thought I would have a sit down  opposite the beach and admire the wild flowers. Just a bit further along the farmer was ploughing his field, this field had already been planted......guess I had better not run through it then!

Rosie's thought for the day......

Watch the F1

Now I seemed to have missed out this morning with the walk on the beach! The "Guv" was still up and about early, but after breakfast he sat back down to watch the "box with people inside it".  Guess there was no option but to watch the qualifying rounds for the Chinese Grand Prix with him....... 

Much warmer mornings.....

This morning I had to be very careful on my beach walk with the "guv" as whilst the day was quite warm the waves were really rolling in and making quite a noise. You all now know I steer well clear of water !  Now the "governor" was walking rather close to the waters edge I thought, serve him right if he gets wet................
