I smell GREAT !

Well it looks as if the rest of this week is going to be dry here in Greece.  That means even more time on the beach in the mornings with the Guv.  I had great fun this morning running up and down the beach in the sand, then I found some great spelling fox poo to roll in without the Guv seeing me.  Don't think he was very impressed though.  I got good and sorted out and cleaned with those awful smelly wet tissues you humans use.......uh no where near as nice as the fox poo smell !!!!

Rain, rain go away

Because I live in Greece most people think I can sit out in the sun all day, every day.  Well this proves they are wrong......it rains here too, and boy when it rains it RAINS.  I don't like the wet, the thunder nor the lightening, in  fact I don't like water at all! Saying that its even worse on a windy day like today.........

Gee am I glad the Guv bought me this rain coat in Britain, now how do I get him to buy me a LIFE-JACKET?

Kiss,kiss, kiss

I'm bored!  The weather here in Greece has been rather cold of late and the rainy season is has set in. Now that means fewer walks on the beach with the "Guv"   Over the last two days I've curled up in front of the fire to keep warm, mind you the Guv moans about that.  This is because the government in Greece as put massive taxes on heating oil which is now 1.34E per litre!

Well I had better help him out making some money......bet I'll earn more than he would doing this!

We wus robbed!

Some times I do despair about the people I look after!  The other night twice I had to bark them awake only to be told to keep quite and go back to bed. Uh I thought I do my job as night watch-dog and get told to shut up.

Now you may not know that during the day I normally save some of my "munchies" on my sun lounger that I sleep on on the balcony to eat as and when I get hungry.  Well up I get the following morning, go outside and there they were GONE!

I WUS ROBBED during the night!

Search as I did the munchies had all been taken, cleaned out I was!  Two Christmas present munchies, my pigs ear, two "Orlando" chicken strips, my bone made out of pork hide and my markies.  ALL GONE!

Now if they had listened to me during the night I would have got whatever was out there and ATE THEM!

New Years Resolutions

Now I understand its hard for you humans to make and keep new Year resolutions but do not go thinking you are the only ones, us canines do not mind a bit of self improvement also. That is of course when its rewarded by some tasty treat!

I can't help thinking though the people I look after have it all wrong as they pick the most counter-productive things to get rid of or stop doing.  Take for example the cutting back on exotic foods, what good is that when they then go out for a meal WITHOUT ME!  Or the exercise bike the Misses bought, what a waste of money when she could be taking me out for long walks and I could show her all the places I sniff out where other dogs and cats "have been" which smell great, and often great fun to roll about in and get really dirty!

Still as I was saying us canines do not mind making self improvements, so here are my New Years Resolutions for 2013:-

1) To be more accurate with my timing for  getting the Guv out of bed ensuring it never again is later than 0700hrs

2) To stop barking at least 10 minutes after visitors enter the house provided they don't ignore me 

3) To try and pick up all the crumbs I leave when munching my biscuits on the humans best carpet

4) To be kinder to my friend "Pal" and when he calls around to not chew his ear and attack him so often (unless he tries to eat my food).

5) To stop running madly and jump at the Guv landing both my paws slightly below his waist line when he returns home causing him also to yelp!

6) To ensure all my friends I pass when I am out in the Guvs car can hear me shout hello, even if the Guv retorts by shouting my name "ROSIE STOPIT!"

7) To exercise and run far more so I can always make sure my people are never bothered by Greek felines

8) I will not lick my rear end and then try to lick my people

9) I will try to make friends with birds and lizards and try to stop chasing, playing with and eating them

10) I will stop trying to sit on the lap of my people and being a nuisance when they are typing at the computer keyboard, even when I am bored. I will wait my turn

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas

Now once again the people I look after have made me wear these funny head things.  I tolerate it because it seems to amuse them and I get to open the food parcels they bought me !

Mind you what's with all the wrapping?  I'd have been just as

excited if the food was put in my dish as normal!

I was right, its food.....mind you not sure of the shape, still

nom, nom, nom, nom......

OK, its now posing time for photos with the "Misses" on the 

balcony in the sun.....

Merry Christmas 2012 from Greece

(come on Guv, take the photo quick I can't  hold this smile for long!)

They're gone

My people and I went this  morning to the beach to feed the pups and their mum but they were not there!  I had a good sniff and hunt around, through the rocks and undergrowth but found no sign of them.  We can only hope some kind people took the pups and their mum and are now looking after them like my people look after me!

They won't know its Christmas

Over the last week or so my people have been taking me to another beach for the morning walk.  Its a fair bit further from my house, but I don't mind though  as besides giving me a run on the beach the reason is to feed some poor puppies and their mother, who are unwanted dogs (just like I was) my people found hiding in the rocks...

The Guv has posted lots of information on various cam boards in hope that someone here in Greece will be kind enough to give them a home, but somehow I do not think it is going to happen.   I had a look at the pups and they seem quite strong, but their mum is terribly thin....I don't think they are going to have a very good Christmas.  I know the people I look after would give them a home if they could, but I heard them say that as they have me and we travel a lot they can not home more of my friends.

I feel so lucky I have a nice warm home....................

Its getting colder

Some of my regular readers will remember when I went to the UK the folks I look after bought me this barbour owing to the cold and rain.  Well as from today it looks like I might need to wear it here in Greece!

The winter rains have set in and yesterday there was snow on the mountains opposite. The rain really hampers my patrolling the land for my people as I hate getting wet.............
