Hi everyone...winter has settled in and I feel anxious about xmas holidays and presents!!I haven t been shopping yet but I soon will. For the time being , dad keeps me happy by taking me to long walks in the countryside since we moved last month and he has more time now. Mum calls me 'Austin the mountainous'. But the real thrill about this month is my....BIRTHDAY! It s on the 15th and I look forward to it , as the rest of the family so that they can eat sweets, and wait for the presents I get. I will probably have a small party this year cause it s a Monday, but who cares as long as it s a party..... wish I could invite you all ....anyway, I know I will have fun since I ll be with loved ones even few....
Hope you enjoy your xmas preparations
Love
Austin

Back to school...
for some of us....
Hello everyone! I ve been away for long , I know, but it wasn t my intation....mum remembers her school years and started studied for an online degree and she neglects several things...although I can t say she forgets my needs!!
I think she looks happier now since she started cause something important ia going on in her life. I wish I could do something so interesting...I m bored quite often and sleep a lot. Any ideas dear friends?
either for a game or to keep myself occupied when I m alone?? Everybody is back on track for the winter and I have to dosomething too.
One thing I will surely do , is my annual medical exams which I don t like but they are really essential for my good health. I suggest you do them too.
Anyway, rain is coming and I feel like lying by the window.....see you soon
kisses

Summer is over...
by Austin
Hi guys...how is everyone? Hope you had a wonderful , carefree summer and you get ready for the winter adventures!! The weather here is still warm but something in the air smells change...I cant complain.This summer was pretty good for me since I went to a lot of trips and excursions to the sea with either parents or grandparents.I made new friends both humans and animals and had stories to tell and think about during the long, cold nights ahead.Do let me know of what you did in the summer...would love to hear from everyone...

I m back...
by Austin
My holidays are almost over and I m so envious of everyone else who hasn t returned yet...The good thing is that this year I finally realised that I can t have everyone around me and I m less sad when people are out of the house or away.Things here in greece are difficult for pets on holiday.There are so few places that we can go and have appropriate accomodation. People look at us in a strange way and and give our moms and dads a hard time as if we are a threat to them. It doesn t matter if mum and dad go to a cafe to enjoy some moments of peace and there are several young devils running around and screaming , annoying people but not their "proud" parents who don t give a sh*** about what their offspring do.....WE are the problem .......anyway ...mum is very upset about this stuff....but she shouldn t care....we love each other, we are happy together and we have a good time at home. Pity though.....We live in the middle ages.....but we are happy to see that others , travel around the world, have fun and share their adventures with us...
keep making our presence strong guys!

A difficult week for everyone...
by Austin
Hi everyone...I was away for a while cause I m left alone more than I m used to ....and the reason is good sadly...grandpa is in hospital and all the family have to be there in turns but go to work too. I can understand that there is a problem, and I try not to nag ....I m sad too that he is away cause we sleep together every noon after lunch and we watch the 8 o clock news in his armchair....however I hear that things are going well for him and the doctors will let him come to me again soon....so I keep my paws crosses!
hope all of you are in good health

Weekend news..
by Austin
Generally I m a well behaved creature but I cann t stop barking whenever in an unfamiliar place...That's a big problem for my family cause they can t take me anywhere they want since I annoy other people around.
Things will become strange from now on and I don t know what will happen , and here is why.....
My grandparents rented a flat near the sea for the summer.That means we have a place near the beach and we can go any time....cool eh? But I went yesterday and I was a bit nervous and jumped up at every noise. I have the feeling that they are unhappy cause they want me to go there with them, but think about the other people in the other apartments as well..
Anyway, I must say that I ll try to behave , but also any advice would be extremely useful and welcomed!!

And it's getting hotter...
by Austin
I was really waiting for the summer but that's tooooo much! It 's still June and I measure 43 degrees celcium 2 days ago...I couldn't do anything.No walk, no energy, no nothing...I was lying on the floor changing spots every 5 minutes to find a cooler place.
My family is on the verge of a breakdown too. They drink water all the time and have showers...Fortunately I spend most of my time at my grandparents' where is much cooler than the other house which I don't like at all by the way....Whenever I go there, I stand behind the door to show that I want to leave...Don't get me wrong...I love my parents but they change houses all the time (4 so far in my life) and I don't like it...
anyway, I m off to find a cool spot...hope you have found yours...

Healthy teeth, nice smile, fresh breath!
yes, you can do it!!
by Austin
One of the things mum gets crazy about , is clean teeth...not only for me but everyone in the family, so how could I get away??
Since I was a baby, I remember mum asking the vet what she could do to help me have healthy teeth. An everyday habit I was advised to pick up, is chewing bones, (if that is the name).You can find them in a big variety concerning flavours, colors and most importantly sizes. The size counts,in this case, because I hold it with my hands and if it's huge I cannot manage it. So, get the right one. Also, observe the reaction of your stomach to new bones because some of them might cause you trouble.(speaking from expereience).
Mum is crazy enough,(did I mention that earlier?)to have a toothbrush especially for me.The truth is she tried hard to make me accept it but I do believe is one of really few things I didn't put up with. So soon ,she gave up...
But 2 months ago , I went to the vet and had my teeth cleaned!!! It did not hurt, it was quick (about 15min), and my teeth are as white as snow and my breath as fresh as summer breeze!!!!Charming eh??
However, do ask your vet when it 's the right time cause I was advised not to do it at an early age.
So, as you can see , it's easy and it's good for you....

Summer bugs
by Austin
Hello again!
Now that the weather is good, I really like to go out as much as possible,which is a good thing cause I've got a lot of energy and it should be directed somewhere, but I must be extra careful because of the several bugs that fly around at this time of year.
It is widely known that in this period there are a lot of insects that can be extemely dangerous for me. Although I don't want to scare you, thay can even cause death!! Some simple measures of precaution are the following:
1)Don't get out before 6 in the morning and after sunset cause that's the time these creatures are most likely to be around.
2)Never forget to put on protection, either in the form of spay, collar or liquid ampules.
3)Brush your hair regularly to remove insects that came on you during your walk.
4)In the slightest sign of not being well, refer to a vet.
5)Be extra careful if you live on the groung floor or near a garden.
6)MOST IMPORTANT: When summer's gone, don't forget to have the special calazar test , to make sure you are healthy and well.
I believe that if you stick to this simple advice, you'll enjoy your walks carefree!!!

summer haircut for dogs
by Austin
The weather has become really hot and I decided to ask for a haircut although I try to avoid it as much as possible....I have to stand still for such a long time , that I go crazy afterwards!!! But the time has come for me to face reality and point my nose to the scissors...I must admit , I have trained them pretty well , cause they now fully understand what I ask for. My main problem is that I don't like people touching my paws cause they are sensitive, but I can't have military haircut everywhere and leave my feet like bushes...I think that style is girly....and I can't have that!!!
You know, the cool thing about my family is that they have found ways to groom or cut my hair at home, so I don't have to go elsewhere AND they don't have to pay every once in a while...They've got a good quality pair of scissors to shorten the hair, and then they've bought a trimming machine (which by the way was advertised for human beards and moustaches) and I get a good , clean haircut whenever I see fit!!
IMPORTANT TIPS
Guys....be really careful when you cut your dog's hair....our skin is extremely sensitive and we bleed easily...
If you haven't done it before, be VERY patient until your pet gets used to the procedure...the first time will be difficult indeed , but as the time goes by, things will imrove greatly! I can tell from my own experience...the first time , it took us around 2 hours to finish, but now, in 20 min, I look my best!!

Other Aspects Of Me
This is my friend Sweetie
She came to visit one day and didn't want to go back...
honestly...
I like her but she 's too young for me and always runs around...She also eats my food cause she finishes hers in seconds!!
Lying around and having my chewing bones handy, is one of my favourite past times... I know, I sound lazy, but it's good for my teeth and I exercise a bit...my mouth...!
Ocassionally though, I prefer more noble sports..like just being cute!
