Camers Critters # 5 - Pink & Mojo

I have been looking at some old holiday snaps from the beginning of the Millennium, in particular shots of our old and first dogs. The brown dog is Pink, the black and white one is Mojo.

When my fella and I first met we had a dog each. My fella got Mojo as a puppy. He exchanged a box of vegetables for him with a local farmer.






I found Pink in Greece. I lived there for a year. Pink was a stray hanging out with the gang around the marina.

She came over to the camper the first day I arrived in town and just sat with me. I decided to adopt her after that and the rest is history.

Although things are considerably different in Greece now at the time strays did not have a great life and Pink, not being a very dominant dog, was hungry, thirsty and bullied by the other dogs. She took to adoption very well. When I moved on and eventually returned to the UK I of course brought her with me.

The dogs were 5 years old when I met my fella and after a few initial grumbles when we moved in together they became close companions. We lived on a farm at the time and they spent all day out playing around the fields with each other. After that we were blessed with another 8 years of their company.


We always holiday in the UK and usually go camping which the dogs loved. Most of these shots were taken in Scotland.

They loved the long walks, swimming and mountains and they climbed Ben Nevis with us in 2000. We have two new dogs now, Roxy and Buddy.


We lost Pink and Mojo within a year of each other through old age and associated illnesses but they had a long and happy life and we are ever grateful for having spent so much quality time with them.

We miss them dearly. I find the companionship of dogs unique. They give constantly and have an amazing and insatiable capacity for fun.
