Greeks are very fashion prone when it comes to dogs. In the 70 the fashion was boxers, in the 80 dobermans (dobermen?), in the 90 rottweilers, now it is pit bulls. It is panic stations when walking the dog and we come across a pit bull walked by a child or frail person. A wanker neighbor walks his dog while riding a bike, he has been pulled over more than once.
A case of KOLOS TITSIROS IDEN TO VRACHIN CHECHESTIKEN !
The Cypriots , I dont know about the Greeks, have some weird "fashion " fetishes. A relation of mine recently acquired a pit bull , with 4 children in the house plus the neighborhood kids , I thought what a stupid thing to do. Of course I voiced my condemnation in very clear terms and the answer was , ITS THE FASHION !!!
I have always had dogs my first one being a Labrador there followed alsatians pointers and now a 12 year old Boxer , the best dog I have ever had although at the age of 12 he is now quite old a bit senile and loves a glass of red !! A bit like me !!. Has been coming to the showroom for 5 days a week since he was a month old , you would have thought he would be acquainted with most people but the bugger is not , he hates anyone touching him and he will react with a sharp short ....lick !!
Dogs are men's best friend , pit bulls are not , they are horrid dogs , wrong temperament hate children and everyone else for that matter .
Talking about ....fashion , a Chinese lady came in the shop the other day , I know her so I couldn't help noticing the jeans she was wearing were full of holes , felt sorry for her and promptly offered to buy her some needle and cotton provided I was allowed to ....stitch her up as it were , Its the bloody fashion she said !!Torn jeans , shit on your shoes , bloody nails through your tongue , paper clips on the eyebrows and all these is ...fashion !!! Oh boy I'M SO PLEASED I'M UNFASHIONABLE !!
