Homesick ?

Gone are the morning walks on a warm Greek beach,
Goodbye to the olive groves, their leaves sun bleached.
Back to the countryside with fields all bare
Now morning walks are brisk with a chill in the air.

Daisy and I dance through fields damp from mist,
Spider webs hang off the weeds that exist.
Hunters are heard in the distance shooting their prey,
Daisy and I make sure we keep well away!

Tractors leave marks on the dark muddy soil
Gone are the crops that grew to make oil.
Winter is here, our fur coats now grow thick
Perhaps for Greece I grow a little homesick!

Annecy.......

One of the places the Missus wanted to see on our way to Greece was Lake Annecy.  Well what a let down! It was far too busy and with the Covid pandemic that you humans seem to have invented my people decided just to have a drive around the lake but not stop there for dinner.

 

I'm back

It's been a while since I last wrote a blog but you see Daisy and I have been away visiting our homeland. Whilst I am a very experienced traveller and over the last 10 years have been on the ferry from Italy to Greece and back many times this is the first time Daisy has returned to our place of birth.

I think she's a good a traveller like me and  she soon got the hang of how to commandeer the sleeping bunks !

Seaside walk

 

I know I have not "blogged" much lately but I'll tell you more about that in a few weeks time.  Meanwhile I thought I would share a couple of photos of me and Daisy on one of our seaside walks.  Oh yes perhaps I should mention the Missus also, she's wearing my "T" shirt.....

A walk in the forest

 

A really different walk the other morning for Daisy and me. Passed a few other canines who did just not understand my "bark" language

Who's sleeping in MY bed?

The missus sometimes complains that the Guv takes up too much bed space, well I know how she feels. Not only has Daisy taken too much bed space, she has taken MY BED !
I'll have to make do with her small bed !

 

Get Out!

As you can see this is not me but my companion "Daisy".

There we were sniffing around in the Guv's garage and we got told to "get out". Now I understand when the Guv says something you do it!

Daisy on the other hand either does not understand or just does not want to understand.  Being a Greek dog like me is no excuse, the Guv shouts :-

in English "Get out", Daisy does not move.

in Greek  he shouts "μαθεύομαι" Daisy does not move
in German he shouts "Raus" and Daisy moves....

but I think she again misunderstood and goes to the "Rhus"

That'll tell them !!

 Woof woof, the Guv had this special metal plaque made with me on it!

Extra early........

Extra early walk this morning as the Guv said the road will become too hot for our paws.  The farmer has cut the wheat fields across from my pad so now we can have a good run around

 

"The Sun has got his hat on"

Well its about time we were able to sunbathe. Daisy (above) prefers the corner of one of the patios. Me, well I'll just lie here on the grass and tan the underneath bits.....
