Jackson is our dog. Actually, he is more than just a dog. He makes us laugh, provides companionship, and reminds us what being good and loyal is all about. Despite all of his good qualities, he still gets dirty and needs a bath.
Yesterday was bath day for Jackson. Before his bath, I decided to take him to the harbor/port near our home to run on the beach and to get more dirty. Perhaps, you would like to come along with Jackson and I. It is a short walk and has nice scenery.
At the end of this road, is the port. Jackson will lead the way.
I have to remind Jackson that we are going to the port and not to scary old run down buildings. (I think he is in the Halloween spirit, but unfortunately Greeks do not celebrate Halloween.)
First we pass the Fish Taverna that is near the port. During the summer, tables are set up under the trees and the smell of fish drives Jackson crazy.
We always stop to look at the view of our neighborhood and Chania town in the distance. I should rephrase that, I look at the view and Jackson sniffs around oblivious to the stunning view.
The port is full of smells for Jackson, but the fun has not started yet. The port is not very busy today, so Jackson does not have anybody to bother.
A duck and a couple of geese live in the harbor all year. Jackson tries to catch them, but they are much faster than him. Especially, when it comes to swimming they have him beat. I think they laugh from a safe distance.
After the excitement of chasing birds, Jackson has fun at the small beach running, swimming, and playing with anything he can find.
All of this is tiring, so we go take a break by the church.
Yep, I think Jackson is ready to go home and take a bath. I hope you enjoyed the walk. I did and I know Jackson did too.
