Morning and evening I take Lucy for a 15 minute round trip out the door, up
an alley, then left and keep going straight until you (in no time at
all) are out of the village and among vegetable gardens, enclosures
with chickens, goats and sheep and the ever watchful barking dogs.
Just follow the cement track – even in the dark
it is lit from 2 houses that you pass and take a left where that is possible. Cross the flood canal, then follow the road back to Kritsa, cross the bridge again at the water fountain and we are home.
Kritsa bright in early morning sunlight! |
The
first house we pass has 2 hounds that make a huge spectacle of
barking. In the second house there is a little white hairball, who
usually manages to get away from his mistress, not once but twice, to
come barking after Lucy, his leash dangling behind. His mistress
follows, yelling for him to come back, which he totally ignores. I
end up catching him and either lead or carry him home.
These guys take their guard duty seriously! |
In
one of the enclosures there is a tiny lamb, no bigger than the
chickens with which it is penned. It comes running bleating to be
petted and Lucy sniffs it's nose in a very civilized manner.
