Orei or Evia?
(This is a post that I published in FB on 12th September 2024)
We have 4 dogs. 3 are named after Greek islands: Skiatos, Skopelos and Naxos. We will be with them later as at 8pm we will take the plane from Athens to Porto. The sailboat is very tidy at the shipyard and we should only return to Orei in April or May 2025. But it looks like we will have to come here in 2024 because of "Big".
Who is Big? It's the name Iris called a stray dog that walked through the streets and beach of Orei. Iris fed him and even medicated him with Bravecto. It turns out that last week Big disappeared. He used to sleep on the dock in front of our sailboat. After immense efforts we managed to find out what happened. Apparently someone reported to the city hall that the dog was aggressive and was taken in by an animal association. It turns out that Big is completely docile and we even suspect whoever reported him as we once saw the person in question kicking Big.
In short, as we have to take the bus to Athens, we have already contacted the association and asked them to take care of the bureaucracy to take the dog to Portugal. That's why we should return here for this purpose, still in 2024. It remains to be seen whether we should continue to call it Big (it's really big) or Evia (name of the island) or Orei (name of the village).

Added on 25th of September - I go to Greece on October 17th and return 2 days after. Big will come with us!
