Crete and Cretan dogs and shops

-
The Island of Crete is a wonderful place for your summer holiday. Heraklion, Chania, Agios Nokolaos, Malia are all waiting for tourists and holiday-makers.

Crete, Cretan heat, Cretan dogs


Cozy little shops in the town of Malia attract you not only by traditional leather goods, souvenirs like mugs, wooden phallic key-chains, fridge magnets, but also by cute pet guardians lying at the entrance. Cretan dogs, as well as Cretan cats, possess their own individual temper. They seem calm and reserved. Most of them are middle aged mongrels looking at passers-by very reluctantly. The Cretan heat makes everybody a little lazy. Smart dogs’ eyes see through you very well and share your feeling. Some of the smallest Cretan dogs may even bark at an unpretentious tourist who makes an attempt to buy something in “their” shop. Anyway, there is no harm to be barked at by such a funny little thing.
Crete - Cretan Dog

Cretan dogs need no map


Sometimes one and the same doggie may be seen in different places of your walking route. Such dogs are very independent, although each of them has a collar. They look purposeful while passing your by. Unlike a first-time holiday-maker, the dogs don’t need a map. They know every path and bush without any GPS. They share the street news of Crete with their friends, play and lie together in the shade.

The Cretan dogs seem quite satisfied with their living. It is known that the island is famous for its human long-livers. Perhaps, the local dogs can boast similar vital statistics of the island of Crete. Don’t be afraid though, the Cretan street dogs are not numerous. It is safe to stroll around the town.

While the year 2020 was more appropriate for shock and stay-at-home-or-die mood, travelling turned into a taboo luxury.  All we can do is hope for better days yet to come, fortunately or unfortunately. However, life goes on, and we continue facing new challenges, learning to live in a new remote reality and meeting people more online than offline. Here are three short stories to share.  Story 1. I wish I could read a personal profile Love is beautiful - smiling, laughter, a loving thrill of the heart, excitement. However, the fairy tale  requires hard work . What if at a meeting with a new person who could potentially become the love of your life there were opportunities to view his/her personal file, like a profile of a character in a computer game? Could this help later avoid unnecessary acquaintances and any related hassle? For example, the file would introduce not only the positive aspects of a person (loving, tender, great hugger), but also the essence of his daily...
