It has now snowed for the first time in my life. It was the most snow I’ve ever seen!

5 March 2015

A black day: I was diagnosed as positive for leishmaniasis. Now I have to undergo treatment for several weeks and then take tablets for a few years until the pathogen has died down to zero. But the positive part is that I didn’t even notice it afterwards and was able to carry on with my life as usual!

Here I am at Christmas around the same year: there is no sign of leishmaniasis at all!

Our master’s mum was visiting again and took this great photo of the two of us watching the street from the front door.

At this time, we are raising four abandoned puppies from Malia. Here you can only see two of them – including tiny Yoda – because the other two have fortunately already been placed.

I’m always really happy when visitors come!

12 October 2016

As soon as the Malia puppies have all been placed, we find this little rascal Ali abandoned on the street in front of our house. Now the education continues!

Meanwhile, we also regularly visit Marley from the Malia puppies in Elounda, where she was adopted.

It’s very cold and our big dog bed is currently in my master’s study to keep us warmer.

20 October 2018

Expedition through the Kritsa Gorge. I can tell you, it was quite a challenge for a medium-sized dog like me to get up everywhere!

3 November 2018

Unfortunately, I have now become very fat and weigh over 19 kilograms. But that’s not because I’ve eaten far too much – no, I’ve now also been diagnosed with a metabolic disorder. From now on I’ll be taking two tablets a day and soon my weight will go down again so that I’ll weigh around 15 kilograms.

New Year and we recently got a new Coche – um, not exactly, it’s actually for the two-legged friends in the TV room, which is why we from the four-legged faction are looking a little concerned.

When it gets hot and there are still springs of fresh water from the mountains en route, we naturally have to enjoy the cool water.

Now I also have to deal with those annoying cats that live in the front garden all the time.
