Down in the Woods

Good morning everyone!

Did you turn your clocks back? Old Two Legs didn't so he got up an hour earlier than he needed!

OTL is having a shower so I thought I'd let you know what happened yesterday. OTL it seems did not like my Paw Painting on his pillow, he's been moaning about mud and grit in his ears, at least, I think he said grit, you just can't please him sometimes!

Me and Holly went in the car with OTL down to the farm, just the other side of the 'Big Town' (super smells there, Curry, Cheese Burgers, Kebabs and Chinese food). Driving in the car it's good fun barking at the people on the path and sticking our tongues out at the other drivers! OTL winds down the window so we can stick our heads out of the window and do some 'Speed Sniffing', it's just amazing how many sniffs you can get in such a short time!

The Farm is a brilliant place, it's got hedgerows and trees where Holly and I run, chasing the foxy smells. OTL seems to spend most of his time calling us back from the trees, just as we start rolling in a particularly good smell. 

OTL claims it is fox poo, but we don't care cos it smells wonderful.


In the woods we just love charging about looking for rabbits, you have got to do that to keep OTL happy. Our barking keeps them hidden in their burrows though. Going deeper into the woods you may find a Badger or two, we keep close to OTL because an old Labrador we met told us Badgers eat little puppies like us. We haven't seen a Badger yet but we don't take any chances, OTL will keep us safe.
 

I thought I had found a Badger, I was snuffling around the back of a log pile when I heard a snuffle coming from the other side of the logs. So I crept slowly and quietly around the logs trying not to make a noise on the leaves, I peeked around the corner, and saw nothing!

I could still hear the suffling but further around the logs, so, off I went, creeping around the logs looking for the snuffling 'Puppy Eating Badger'. As I wasn't catching up with the Badger I decided that instead of going around the logs, I'd go over the top.

Slowly I climbed up to the top and peeked over.

There was Holly, nose down, backside up up in the air, snuffling along the logs. 'Psst' I said 'Wotcha got?' 'Shhhhhh' she said, I think I've found a Badger!

I didn't say anything, I had a pee and chased off after OTL.

Everyone knows you don't get Badgers during the day time! 

Tail Tweaking

Hi! 

Life was a little quiet yesterday, Old Two Legs had to go out to do some work so me and Holly did not get our normal 'adventure' trip out. We had to put up with The Missus taking us for a walk across the fields today, still there was not so much of the 'sit' and 'come here'

While we wait for OTL I'll tell you a bit about the best game I know, second to 'Tug The Rope' or maybe 'Chase around the Furniture' or even 'Dig a Big Hole' or better still 'Sneak onto OTL's Bed', I like that one, especially if I have just been digging in the garden and it's been raining.

Holly and I play a game of 'Tag', she chases me and tags me then I chase and tag her. I reckon I am pretty good at the 'Tail Tweak & Roll' tag. It goes like this......Holly is going like the clappers to get away from me but I get close to her and line up on her tail. 

I then grab the tail, at the base and run with her for at least five steps. It is very important to run the five steps as it proves that the grab was not just a lucky grab but rather a well executed grab!

 

Next comes the tricky bit, I then turn the tail in a anti-clockwise movement to off balance Holly, just enough to get her to twist around and stumble a bit. 

 

Tagged!

Tomorrow I'll tell you about the 'Leg Grab & Shoulder Charge' that Holly uses. I think I had better get off the bed now, I have put pretty muddy paw prints all over the pillow. OTL will be pleased with my little present for him, artistic Avant-garde Paw Painting!

Happy Days!

Hello and thanks for dropping by to look at my little blog.

After posting yesterdays effort Old Two Legs took Holly and I out for a walk over the fields. A bit cold it was, what with the wind blowing in off the sea, gets right up your tail it does! 

 

Holly and I are still yapping about our birthday party. We had loads of presents, squeaky toys that are great to play with when OTL wants to watch his television. 

 

The Missus wanted a birthday picture of me & Holly, so we played that one to the limit.

I reckon we must have had a whole packet of Doggy Chocs and half a chicken before we were both looking at the camera! 

 

This obedience thing can be a great laugh. 

 

When Holly is over we go out with a 'yoke' type of strap so that we are both walking together on one lead. No problem with that, we can still have a tussle while walking along the foot path. 

 

The best bit is when we come to the kerb. OTL pulls us back so we are both facing the road then commands 'sit', we don't move, so a little louder he says 'Sit', still no one moves, now he gets all bossy and bellows 'SIT', so one of us sits. 

 

He then calls 'sit' again but then adds Holly or Daisy, depending on who is still standing. At that point, slowly and with great style the standing one sits, and at the same time the sitting one stands.

He then says 'sit' and adds the others name. So, again, one of us sits as the other stands. 

 

After a while our tails are like two pistons pumping up and down, sit, stand, sit, stand, sit, stand, ............Gotcha Two Legs!

Hello!

Me and Old Two Legs

Hello! My name is Daisy, I am one year and four days old. I live with Old Two Legs and The Missus, she feeds me and that is just one of my favourite things .

My sister Holly is over to stay for a few days, it's great fun having a game of 'chase' with her. She is a bit heavier than me and while she is almost as fast as me on the straight, I'm better at cornering.

We love going out with Old Two Legs, he takes us to different places for long walks. Sometimes it is over farmland and other times we go down by the seaside. The walk close to home goes past a place where horses are kept. Funny things they are, only interested in eating grass and pooing.

It's great fun to find a pile of fresh poo and take a mouthful, tastes a bit like fizzy grass. It's ok for a lick and a chew but you couldn't live on it!

Best bit is when OTL notices what we are doing and starts jumping up and down screaming his head off. 'No, No, No'

Dunno what he's so worried about, there is enough for him as well!
