Fountain of Fun!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

We love Saturdays, the telephone is asleep, so Old Two Legs gets more time to play with us!

We had an extra half an hour in bed and so did OTL. The Missus was up as early as she normally is, we think it was still dark!

On our walk along The Sea Wall, we made a note of the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant, 'cos the the petals had come out on the first flower.

First Bloom!

Now all we got to do is work out what it's called!

Holly said she likes our name 'Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant'!
 
When we got to the Sea Wall there were some fishermen teaching their worms to swim, rather boring really, it's not as if they they caught any fish!

Go on worm, swim!

Back home to a breakfast of chicken and biscuits, then we went for a snooze in the sun.

When we were all comfortable and just about to get snoozy, the fountain in the pond burst into life!

Holly went to have a look.

How does it do that?

She couldn't work out how it it was switched on and off, so, she called me over 'cos I'm a bit more 'Technical' than her!

Must be magic!

I had a good ferret around but couldn't find any switches, so Holly being Holly decided it was Magic and OTL was controlling it!

Off we went for our afternoon walk and spotted a family playing on the beach but as Holly said, you would think they'd found some sand to play on!

Go on son, make a castle out of the rocks!

the best bit was the clouds, they looked super, all white with blue sky, so, this one is for Trev!

Clouds for Trev!

Back home we had a snoozy afternoon and a cuddle with OTL.

We have got to take OTL out tomorrow to get some supplies at the Doggy Shop!

So, if we are lucky, we may get him to buy us a chew, or two!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Chips and Dozzer and F1 Racing!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly & WHaaaaaaaaaaaCHoooooooo! Here again!

What a Friday! Today we took delivery of a Solar Powered Fountain for the pond!

Now, is that impressive or wot!

First thing this morning we went for our stroll along The Sea Wall, the sky didn't look to good but we kept our claws crossed fo a bit of sunshine!

Not the best start!

Then we bumped into Barney, well, not so much bumped, rather run over by Barney and his mate called 'Dozzer'

Yo Girlies!

First of all Barney came running over the hill with his ball in his mouth ready to have a game with Old Two Legs. Before they could get into the game of 'Throw The Ball' we saw a Retriever type in a 'Playful Crouch' position. Barney went tearing up to see him and the pair got into a game of 'Chase'

Hey! Barney, get a load of this Sniff!

Then Dozzer found a good sniff and had a roll. That got him into trouble!

It was getting too much for Holly and me, we prefer a more gentle game! 

Holly down the Home Straight!

So, we left them to it and went off to play F1 racing along the Sea Wall.

We got home and OTL did a sneaky trick of getting us all sorted and about to snooze when he sneaked off to do some deliveries all on his own!

When he got back we went for another run along The Sea Wall.

Holly's Just Ahead

We said 'Hello' to Mr Corvid who was out looking for some lunch!

Mr Corvid looking for lunch

Then had another game of F1 racing but this time I won instead of Holly!


Back home we had been invaded by the Chips Away Team, well, a couple of lads who had come around to repair some chips in the big car where other drivers have opened their doors and bashed into OTL's car door.

Burger and Chips TakeAway

The first time Holly saw that she said she fancied Chicken and Chips or maybe a Burger and Chips TakeAway!


OTL gets all cross when they damage his car and he got even crosser when he found out how much it was going to cost to repair the damage!

When it was all done, the bodywork looked like new. Let's hope it stays like that!

Now, this fountain thingy. OTL spent a lot of time getting it positioned correctly into to deepest part of the pond and we were all wondering if he was going to fall in as he put it in the pond!

Luckily, he didn't, which was a shame really 'cos Holly and I would have still been laughing!

This thing has a Solar Panel that makes the fountain work, but only in direct sunlight.

It also has battery backup which means it can work at night for four hours throwing water into the air and.....................it's got LED lights that light up the water as well!

We can't wait for the night to come so we can see it working!

Night Time Fountain

There, now wasn't that worth waiting for!


Wot about this one then?

Ooooo! Sparkles

We know what OTL is going to be doing come the warm nights, he is going to be sitting by the pond, sipping his whisky and watching the fountain bubble away!

Have a good weekend and see you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, WhaaaaaaaaCHooooooo and Holly!

Taming of The Shrew

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

Old Two Legs got up late this morning, too much shortbread last night! That meant that we got an extra half an hour in bed as well!

Down on The Sea Wall the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant has not burst yet, just a small showing of the petal poking out the top!

I see a Petal!

We did see a funny sight, a car parked on an old jetty post stuck in the mud! OTL says the parking around here is terrible!

Parking Problems!

It was a super run along The Sea Wall and the view across the Medway Estuary was very clear this morning!

A Clear Morning!

We met up with a Westie we sometimes say hello to and he showed Holly a super sniff as well!

Yo! Holly Babe!

We went out with OTL to deliver stuff and ended up at the school that Auntie Zoe went to. We stayed in the car and we had loads of children come up to the car and go Oooooooo! And Aren't they Sweet!

I mean, of course we're sweet, it's part of our job description!

After that we were off to another customer who was on a farm and boy! Wot Sniffs! OTL said it was the cattle he kept but Holly couldn't understand why he kept all the cow poo in big containers!

Well, when we have a poo, OTL just picks it up and sticks it in the poo bin!

Next it was off to The Forest for a stroll around looking for squirrels, OTL found some Hollyhocks.

More Hollyhocks!

Then he spotted a Jay up in the tree, but the Jay didn't want to be photographed and any way, OTL didn't have his big lens with him, so we just had to make do with the one he had!

Snooty Jay!

We wandered on and came to a split in the path, Holly wanted to carry on the way we always go but I wanted to try the other path, just for a change, so I did! Trouble is, the path doesn't go on for long, so I had to turn around and chase after Holly and OTL!

Shall we go Left or Right?

We got home and OTL spent some time in the garden cutting the grass that was getting to be a jungle! Poor OTL, he got bitten by loads of bugs that didn't want him messing about with their homes!

While he was having a break to drink a cup of tea and scratch his bug bites, I did my 'I Wanna Go for a Walk' look and once again it worked. The only problem was, I had to wait while he had a shower!

Down on The Sea Wall we found a family sitting on the wall. I knew what was going to happen, so I hid in the grass, it was so embarrassing!

How Embarrassing!

Holly did her normal trick, up she wanders as bold as brass and says 'Here, you got any sandwiches left?'

Here! Got any Sandwiches Left?

OTL found another flower to photograph, he says it's a 'Wild Sweet Pea', I don't know how you can be Wild and still stay Sweet!

A Wild Sweet Pea!

On our way back to the car Holly got all excited about a sniff and started to have a roll in it, OTL got all 'Showy Off' and made her get up, then looking at what she wanted to roll in, declared that it was a dead Shrew, a sort of tiddly type of mouse and one of the Kestrels favourite meals!

Kestrel Take a Way!

I said that it was Holly rolling in a wee sniff that crushed the shrew as it ran under Holly mistaking her for a storm cloud moving overhead!

Holly didn't think much of that and said so and then she called me names and I called her names as well.................................That's when the fight started!

Back home for some chicken dinner and mug OTL for some medicinal shortbread to help calm the bug bites!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Bad Day for OTL!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you.

We have to report that Old Two Legs has not had a good day, guess what he has been doing?

WHaaaaaaaaCHooooooooooooooo!

Yep! He has been in the garden again digging up weeds and making loads of pollen fly about!

You see, where we have the bird feeders, over the years, the Niger Seed has piled up on the ground and the seed from the other feeders has started to grow. That means we have been seeing some really weird plants growing on the old rockery!

So, OTL has flattened the rockery, covered it with some pond liner he has left over, surrounded the area with the few 'Mock Rocks' he rescued from the rockery and spread some of the earth back onto the pond liner to catch the bird poo and discarded seed.

The New Bird Feeder Place.

 OTL says that the stuff that grows here will be easy to pick up 'cos the depth of soil is only two inches thick!

Clever OTL!

However, with all this digging, poor OTL has been attacked by the sneezes all day!

Even when we went out for our walk, he couldn't stop and he scared all the birds and other dogs and the rabbits and the insects! He was scaring the flowers but they couldn't run away!

We took a look at the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant and saw that the flower was just starting to poke through, so tomorrow we hope to see some progress!

Just about to burst!

Holly was having a bit of a laugh at OTL's expense and she was running along going WhaaaChooo, WhaaaChooo, WhaaaChooo, everytime OTL sneezed!

WhaaaChooo, WhaaaChooo, WhaaaChooo!

I said it was not fair to take the mickey out of OTL, but I must admit that I did have a bit of a laugh!

No! Don't Laugh!

 OTL kept having to sit down on The Sea Wall, just so he could sneeze without falling over!

Holly took pity on him and pointed out a Whiz Bang flower he should take a picture of, but we don't think he was really interested in that!

Another Whiz Bang Flower!

 So, now we are all finished for the day, we have just mugged OTL for some of his chicken and we have had a nibble at our Doggy Scoff, but not really into that stuff.

Now as soon as eight fifteen shows on the clock, OTL says that 'The Sun is Over the Yard Arm' and gets his whisky out and a pack of shortbread.

More mugging!

See you tomorrow, OTL has got some rushing about and The Missus has to go out so we may get to go out with OTL in the Big Car where we can woof at all the dogs on the pavement!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, WhaaaChooo! & Holly.

Another Hot Day, for a Change!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back here again!

We were glad to hear The Beardy Bunch have latched onto Shortbread!

Super Innit!

We get a nibble when Old Two Legs gets his whisky out and has a 'Deserved Slurp'!

We think he may have a 'Slurp' tonight 'cos at three thirty this morning Holly woke OTL up with one of her low 'Woofs', really she just wanted to get up on the bed but OTL thought she wanted a wee, so he got out of bed and went down stairs to let us both out in the garden.

While we were having a sniff around the garden, we had a wee, just to keep OTL happy!

OTL over slept this morning!

We went for our walk along The Sea Wall and OTL took another picture of the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant. You can see the flower bud in the middle has started to open up a little at the pointy end!

Growing!

We saw some lads jumping off the wall and then OTL spotted one of the boys sitting under the wall. He had a camera and was taking pictures of the other two jumping from the wall.

From underneath!

Not very good at flying!

What ever floats your boat!

Holly got a kiss from a young doggy who came bounding up to her and planted a kiss on her nose, then he ran off!

Hello Miss!

We went out with OTL to one of his customers, we couldn't go in the office with him, so we stayed in the car and woofed at the people going past!

From there we set off for The Forest and OTL found some more Lupins or Hollyhocks to take a picture of. Trouble was, just as he got in the right position, along came a Bumble Bee to dive into the flowers to get some nectar!

Runway 23!

 After the Bumble Bee had left, he took another shot which was better, even if the Bumble Bee had gone!

That's Better!

We didn't see any squirrels or stuff like that but we were sure they we looking at us, I kept feeling their eyes looking at me and I'd stop and do my '1000 yard stare' but they still didn't move!

Wossat?

Even Holly said she felt that someone was looking at her as well!

Wossat as Well?

The Forest can be strange sometimes!

Back home for some chicken dinner and a bit of gammon from OTL's plate!

He's a big softy really!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

P.S. We have taken Trev's advice and upped our bid on the Beach Hut by a Chew and six Doggy Choc Drops!

A Swim and we Put an Offer in on a Beach Hut!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

Wot a super sunny day today. As soon as we got up this morning, about five thirty, we knew it was going to be a super day!

First of all we woke Old Two Legs up, a lick behind his ear normally gets a response!

Then we woke The Missus up, a quick lick then run away 'cos she may growl at us!

After getting OTL up and showered, it's off to The Sea Wall.

As normal, OTL took his camera, we found a prickly plant with flowers just about to burst. We think it may be a Thistle type of plant 'cos it's got sharp spiky leaves but we will wait until the flowers bloom before making a definite identification!

Spiky Leaf sort of Thistle type of plant!

After our normal stops for the 'Sniffs of the Day' we set off for a jog along the Sea Wall.

A Morning Jog!

That always makes us feel  good, a gentle jog, the breeze blowing through our whiskers and OTL trying to keep up with us!

We got back home and OTL was busy on the telephone for a while. Then he suddenly jumped up and said 'Right I'm off to Herne Bay'

Did he think he was going to leave us behind?

No Way!

Off we went and he picked up some stuff from a factory on a big estate.

As we stuck our noses out of the window we could sniff The Sea, so, where did we stop next?

That's right, The Sea Side!

We had a run along the big wall thing that stretched out to sea and it had a path that went all the way around!

What's Up Here?

When we got to the end we went around the top and headed back to the beach.

Looks The Same Down Here!

Then we turned around and raced all the way back!

OTL was throwing stones into the sea, so I rushed in to catch on, just like when he throws a ball in the water. I was racing out towards the place where it splashed, when suddenly I realised that there was no ground under my paws!

Look at Me! I'm Almost Definitely Nearly Swimming!

That's it, back to the beach and a run to get dry!

There were a load of things called 'Beach Huts' and Holly said it would be a good idea if we got one so we can keep all our towels and swimming costumes and our chews in there for the next time we went down there.

So we wrote a note on a bit of paper and shoved it under the door of a good looking hut, offering a couple of chews and a weeks supply of Doggy Scoff and a Bouncy Ball in exchange for the hut.

OK, Let's put an offer in!

We left our telephone number as well, so, with a bit of luck we may be the owners of a Beach Hut soon!

Some of the Neighbours!

Back home for an afternoon snooze and a chance to mug OTL for some short bread before bedtime!

Bye  bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

The Pond is Finished!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

First of all, a Big Welcome Lick to Kathryn and her five Pussy Cats who have joined our merry band. The lick is for Kathryn only, we don't fancy licking cats, Yuk!

Being a 'Follower' of our blog gets you cats 'Protection' from being chased if we ever catch you out. Just say the password and you will get a 'Safe Passage'!

The password is 'Chicken', now don't tell anyone this very secret password!

We went for our walk on The Sea Wall and came across a 'Super Beach Sniff' it was sort of shell fish and sausages, if you know what we mean!

A Super Beach Sniff!

We saw a rain cloud that was going away, we like it when the rain goes away especially when we keep dry!

Bye Bye Rain!

Holly was having a sniff along The Sea Wall when she heard 'Hello Doggy!'

Here, Wots This?

She looked up to see a young lad heading her way with a thing in his hands that protected him from getting wet when it rains.

Hello Doggy!

We asked Old Two Legs if we could have one, the umbrella thing, not the boy!

Then we saw a boat out in the estuary, I said it was a Fishing Boat and Holly said that it was a Ferry but OTL said it was a Border Agency Boat, which is a new name for the Customs and they guard against Smugglers!

On Guard against Squirrel Smugglers!

Back home we helped OTL finish off the pond, first he had to dig some more earth out and then spread some of those rocks around to make it look pretty and also a place where the birds can have a bath or a drink.

The Pond through a Fish Eye Lens.

We have been looking for insects but there is no sign of them yet, so, while we wait for the insects we will just have to watch the birds.

OK, where are the Ducks?

Do you think we will get any ducks coming in for a swim?

Holly says I should have a go but it looks too deep for me!

Now all OTL has to do is finish the rest of the garden and get the bird feeders back up!

We will have a word with him tomorrow and see what he has planned for Monday!

See you soon.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
