Senior Dogs and Bodrum Dog *



Senior Dogs Abroad is one of my favourite blogs. Mark and Jolee's perceptions of Turkey chime with my own and I admire their grasp of the political situation in the country. If you need a deeper insight into the machinations of modern Turkish life, I recommend you click on the link to their blog.  If you are planning to visit Istanbul, then I insist that you reserve an afternoon to delve deeper into their posts, it will be the making of your trip. Luckily for me, they left Istanbul and Burgazada behind this week to make a whistle-stop tour of the South West and Jake and I got to meet them.  If you look very carefully, you can see Bodrum Castle in the background of this photo.   We are hoping to tempt them back for a longer visit and give them a young dog's guide to walking the Bodrum peninsula.

* The Bodrum Dog refers to Jake, anyone who suggests otherwise shall be excommunicated

  1. Hey, SDs! 'Dunnup like the dog's dinnah!' as my mother used to say (referring to your finely pressed shirt, Sir!) The builders finish work tomorrow so we'll be open shop, although some of the dust and debris clearing will have to wait!!

    1. He's having an identity crisis. Every one he meets tells him he's a different breed. He's clocked up about 10 different pedigrees so far.

  3. Annie, Senior dogs have been waiting for years to meet you and Jake and we were thrilled finally to make it happen. Yes, it was a real love fest among the dogs in the crowd and as far as your kind comments on our blog go, the feeling is mutual, we're sure. Here's to our next meetup wherever.
