Food parcels.....

Now as I said my people cleared off without me to the UK for nearly two whole weeks. You see whilst I get taken on the ferry they have never taken me on the airplane, Mr Stop'it says its just far too expensive and traumatic for me.  I really can't see why I can't ride in the cabin seats with them though on the aircraft, I am very good at sitting in a car seat and don't see much difference!  

Any how at least they came back with lots of food goodies for me which they can not buy in Greece.  By what I see I may just have enough to last me until I get to go to Britain with them next May!

They're back......

Well I have had a busy two weeks as the people who I look after left me at my friends Pal's house whilst they went off. Pal's people do look after me very well and every morning we went out for a long walk across fields and in the woods. I also met some other canine friends on our walks which we could play with. However, you see Pal is younger than me and I still have to teach him a thing or two.  He is getting better at barking and pretending to attack humans that pass his house, but he still is not as quick to react as I am.  Its actually great fun as many more humans walk pass his house than mine, and I love frightening the local Greeks!  Mind you I think Pal's people sometime get annoyed with us and we get told off.  Then we have our own back on them and chase through the garden wrecking their shrubs............

Now I'm back in my house and totally tired out, so I am going to have a nice long sleep

Lest we forget.....

I wear my poppy with pride.  I know Remembrance Day is about remembering humans that have given their lives in war time so we may live free today, but being canine I must ask you also to remember all of my ancestors that served and gave their lives as well.  Below I have attached some very interesting articles that many may not have considered.  My ancestors served the war effort in many, many ways often going places where humans could not, often sacrificing their lives to save that of their masters........

No fireworks for me..............

Well this is another odd custom you humans have I must say.  Celebrating by burning a "guy" and spending lots of money buying things to set on fire and make loud noises. If you want to burn something, why not buy lots of wood and coal and then I can benefit too by sleeping in front of a nice fire instead of sitting here thinking of all my poor canine friends back in Gt Britain being frightened to death by noisy fireworks......

I think it even more odd you all celebrate the death of poor old Guy Fawkes, after all he only tried to do what lots of you Brits want to do now

Burn the government out !!!!!!!

Its Howl-o-ween

Well I guess it going to be great fun tonight, so I thought I would get into the howl-0-ween spirit with some of my mates. Thats me on the far left.  Those of you who read my blog on a regular basis will know just how much I hate humans with sticks (that is because in my early life before Mr & Mrs Stop'it adopted me I was beaten so much), so tonight any humans that come my way with broom sticks or the like will be very sorry!

Oh yes and if they are a bit big for me to handle I can always call in support from my mate Pal..............

Another good start to a sunny day and romp around the beach, even Mrs Stop'it joined me on the beach this morning.  After my run about the "Guv" had lots of business things to do so I got left in the car alone a few times.  Its OK this weather as its not too hot for me, one thing thank goodness my people are always careful of especially out here in Greece.  When they do leave me alone though I "break through" the plastic partition Mr Stop'it has built to keep me in the rear, that way I can pretend to be the driver and sit in the Guv's seat. Mind you I do get a telling off when he gets back!

This lifeguard thing I think I could take seriously, for my Greek friends have a close look at my boat and you'll see what I mean!

Well this morning was quite hot for late October and off we went as normal for our beach walk along the coast at Velika. It has been a while since I had a good sniff around this bit of beach as the "Guv" usually goes to a part of the beach a bit further along. Since I was last there the farmer has dug some big deep trenches, I think its to stop locals driving up and cutting down the trees on the beach in the winter for firewood.  Good job I say because if it continued like last year all my male canine friends would have "nowhere to go!"

If you go down to the woods...........

A good run around in the woods this morning with the "guv" but not a cat in sight to chase!  Some things though I just do not get. Humans are always on about us canines, not allowed in there, not allowed here etc. etc.  Some of you say us dogs make a mess.......uh you should see the mess left in the woodland by you humans.  Plastic bottles, cans, loads of paper and some other unmentionables all over the place where cars or your mobile kennels have been.  Now us canines might get caught short now and then but we don't make that kind of mess!

Beach watch babe.......

In my earlier postings you will recall how I chased the criminal element in Greece after I thought she had stolen the walking stick. Mr Stop'it was none too pleased with me as apparently for a successful "collar" you have to say you seen the crime committed and not make assumptions.  Oh well the end of my Police dog career I think.......

So today I've tried another occupation as Lifeguard-dog.  The only problem I can see is that I hate water, so if I keep watch from near my tower I guess the best way to prevent drownings is to chase the humans away BEFORE they get into the sea!  As you can see I've done a pretty damn good job so far.......

As a side thought I wonder if I can have a couple of puppies like Pamela Anderson had ?

I HATE cats!
