Good news. A man just came to look at the puppy and took him. So at least we have a happy ending.

Many thanks to all who messaged me, even if you weren't able to give him a home.

Puppy is still here. Now getting desperate as I leave for the UK early next week. The animal rescue shelter in Chania cannot help, they are full, they even went as far as saying he should be put to sleep! As much as I hate to say this, that may well be the only option left to me... I sincerely hope ...

Thanks for that link Steve, will save it for future reference.

Thanks Paul. If it doesn't work I can always email photos on.

Lynn, thanks for your support. Fingers crossed as he can't stay here!

Looking for love and a lifetime supply of Pedigree Chum and hugs. Last week my owners dumped me with a very nice English lady called Nita. She cleaned me up, fed me and has given me lots of TLC but can't keep me. I desperately need a new home especially as Nita is flying to the UK in 2 weeks. I am a...

Thank you guys very much, that's a great help.

I should have made it clear that this did relate to fauna here on Crete and particularly within Mili Gorge, Rethymnon. Lynn, just love the idea of hikers in the gorge stumbling across a Hippo.

Thank you very much Carol, that's a big help. Yes, you are right, there was a spelling mistake - couldn't read my own writing!

Hope all's well with you? Thanks again.

I'm trying to help a friend in translating his website from Greek to English. Have tried various dictionaries etc., both on and off line, but am now stuck on some names for animals, birds etc. If anyone can help with the following it would be appreciated: Ζουρίδα -...

Made me smile too - especially that the lady faces charges of 'endangering private property' !!!!!!!

Uninvited house guests so far have included a scorpion and a cockroach, both were dispatched very quickly! Have also come across numerous snakes whilst out and about, just don't ask me what they looked like as I didn't hang around for a close look!!!

Many years ago I needed to use a colleague's computer and asked her for the password, she replied with a fit of the giggles "g.spot"

Paul, as always thanks for your help. I'm not certain at this time if I've actually successfully got rid of it or, as you suggest may be possible, it downloaded. As you say, I pressed No, cancel, close window etc., but it didn't go away. In a fit of panic I pulled the plug on the PC. Unfortunately, ...

....DONT DO IT!!!!!! Thanks for confirming my suspicions, I'm so glad that I managed to close the alert window, not easy as it's a persistent little b***er. AVG scan has now finished and picked up, not surprisingly, two 'fake alert' viruses which it has dumped into the vault. Lets hope that's the e...
