No shade.....

Another day in Kalamata for me and the Guv as the Misses had some business to attend to.  Mind you it was a bit hot for me today so I took the Guv back to the car park where he had parked the poppymobile in the shade. You see when the chief human of Kalamata redesigned the square he cut down all the big shady trees......barking mad, besides no shade it meant no "convenient" places for my male canine friends either!

Morning bread....

 

Early out to get my people their morning bread in Petalidi and a walk 

around the harbour front for me. 

As you can see the "poppymobile" stands alone, the locals are

not out of bed yet !

We're waiting....

The other day the Misses had to go to the tooth doctor so it was an extra long day out for me with the Guv in Kalamata.  We just "chilled out" and sat and waited at this cafe.  Mind you this early in the morning there were not many humans about!

This is my friend...

So as I was saying Rex, my neighbour spent the day with me, little did he know he was in for it!  A good brush up by the Guv.

Most people here are afraid of Rex, he savaged two dogs in the village (mind you I think he had planned that revenge for ages as when he was a pup they came and "got him" !  The other week he ate some of his owner's chickens....I don't think anyone had told him they had to be dead first and then cooked !

Still with me and the Guv he's a pussy cat!  What's more he looks after my pad when I'm away ......

I'm the boss !

The Guv invited my neighbour "Rex" here for the day whilst his people had to go to Kalamata.  He's certainly grown up over the years but he still knows who is in charge in these parts !!!

It's getting HOT....

I thought today I would remind all the people my canine friends look after NOT to leave us in cars (even with the windows partly open).  Just left for SIX MINUTES can cause us so much stress due to heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

With the weather getting hotter now, today it rose to over 24C PLEASE take care of us....

In the grove....

Like normal I got the Guv out of bed at 0700hrs so I could have my early morning walk.  The last few days I have been taken to the olive groves rather than the beach, so a good sniff about in the grass etc for a change.

Of course olive picking has now stopped, as has the hunting so there is nobody in the groves normally, but I have to watch out for a few old fires still burning off the prunings left from the olive harvest.

The Misses always comes with us, but tends to stay in the poppymobile, even on nice warm mornings like this morning!

I'm home...

As you all know I'm back in my homeland.  The Guv has cut all the grass, it's nice and sunny, and I can have a good run around the garden barking all I want!

Now I am told that in a week or so I'm having my mate Rex to stay with me in the day time whilst one of the people he looks after goes into hospital. If you don't remember Rex here's a photo of him taken a little while back.....

He's a bit bigger than me, but he knows who is boss !

It's bed time

Not a lot for a dog to do on the ferry from Italy to Greece but sleep !

Another stop....

Another rest stop, this time on the motorway in Italy.  Now the Guv and the Misses are not fans of Italy as the camp sites are nearly all too big and the motorways far too busy.  However what they do like is the motorway services, good (and cheap) coffee and a variety of food again at reasonable prices.

I'd rather the French "aires", many that have good grass & woodland areas for ME!
