A relaxing Day 'cos we Need IT!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

We are still trying to get over yesterday on the beach. You know, running over those pebbles and on the sand can make you so tired!

We fell asleep almost as soon as we got in, well Holly did and I had to do my blog before retiring to bed!

I didn't know it, but Holly fell asleep on the sofa and Old Two Legs had to pick her up and put her to bed!

You know, she was that exhausted she didn't even wake up!

This morning we were both still snoozing while OTL got up, showered, dressed and ready for a walk!

It was an effort to get up!



Down on The Sea Wall, we spotted a Black Headed Gull having a paddle in the pools and just for a change, it wasn't shouting it's head off!

Having a Paddle.

Then we saw the reason, it was a Little Egret having a search around the pool as well, searching for food, so if the Gull started shouting it had found food, the first bird to arrive would be the Egret!

Keep Quiet, Stranger in the pool!

Holly wanted to know why there were reeds growing on the path 'cos she reckons that reeds should grow in wet boggy places.

Then OTL pointed out the line of drain covers coming down the hill and under the reeds.

Mmm, maybe we have a leaky water pipe says Holly!

Reeds on the path with their roots in a pipe!

Back home for an 'After walk Snooze' while OTL was messing about in the garden dis-assembling the mast he took down.

A lot of the bolts were all rusted up, so he got out his trusty 'Bolt Cutter' and chopped all the bits off!

Now we have a pile of bits awaiting the next scrap metal man to arrive in out road!

Lunch time down The Sea Wall, we saw a couple of those water Skate Board Thingy Wottsits racing across the water, Holly says she would like to have a go on one of those one day but it will have to be a warm day and the water must be calm!

Holly's Dream Trip!

A bit further along we spotted a young Two Legs playing on the Sea Wall, Holly said that we should keep an eye out 'cos he may fall in and if we rescued him he would be so grateful we would get first pick of his Sandwich Tin!

How big is his Sandwich Tin?

Well, we sat and waited, and then we waited some more but he didn't fall in, in fact he walked back up to his fishing rods and was eating the last of his sandwich as we got to him!

Some people are so Ungrateful!

After that let down, we went hunting rabbits but even they had gone back to bed for a Sunday Afternoon Nap!

Coo'ee! Rabbits, where are you?

So, Holly and I decided that it would be a good idea if we also went back home and had one of our extra special 'Afternoon Snoozetts'!

And that's what we did, straight up to our Day Bed in OTL's office and just for a laugh, we swapped beds, I slept in Holly's and she snoozed in mine!

Super Afternoon Snoozing!

 Not sure what OTL has got for dinner tonight but I hope it is something I can mug 'cos we got Doggy Scoff this morning and you know how much we love that stuff!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Day at Dungeness!

Yo Ho Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly back again from an exciting adventure at Dungeness!

We were up at the crack of dawn, well, maybe just a bit after the Crack bit!

Almost the Crack of Dawn!

We had a quick run around The Sea Wall and bumped into Oscar and his mate, out for a morning stroll.

Well, as normal, it was a quick sniff and a Hello to us and then off they went to play up to Old Two Legs, I'll tell you, it was so syrupy it made us want to go Yuk!

Syrupy Sid & Oscar!

We just had to move away, they were just too much that early in the morning!


We were sitting on the wall waiting for OTL when this slug jogged by, 'Mornin' it said, 'Can't stop, I'm training for the next London Marathon'!

Jogging Slug!

As Holly says, 'What ever turns you on!'

 Next stop Dungeness!

 We arrived as a load of Gulls were landing and making a bit of a racket, we think they were arguing about a bit of food and you know what a lot of noise gulls can make! Holly woofed at them asking which one tasted most like chicken, that shut them up!

Who Tastes of Chicken today?

 Well, OTL got going with his camera and we went for a walk with The Missus. We managed to kick up a rabbit and several birds and a couple of rats and Holly says she chased a Hare!

TM said she didn't believe the bit about the Hare!

We caught up with OTL and he showed us what he had done so far, pretty colours but no rabbits!

Pretty colours!

 I was in the 'Naughty Corner' 'cos I kept on chasing the rabbits and wouldn't go back to TM when she called, so, I had to spend some time on the lead as a punishment!

In the Naughty Corner!

 OTL has got something about old boats, he keeps photographing them when he goes down to Dungeness and today was no exception!

A Boat Off the Rails!

 Not only boats but the old Winding Gear that used to pull the boat up the beach!

Old & Rusty, Like OTL!

 OTL likes a joke with his photographs and this one we think is funny, do you think he knows there is a boat in the way!

Say Cheeeese!

 After lunch we went off to St Margarets Bay, it is so super down there, miles and miles of sandy beach and Holly and I can go at full speed for as long as we can run and we can chase the ball all over the place as well!

Holly doing a Runner with the ball!

 We had great fun chasing each other and grabbing the ball!

GissMyBallBack Holly Dog!

 After all that running about it was good to have a rest in big puddles on the beach!

Cooling Off!

 Holly didn't have a splash about, she just paddled around the edges!

OTL wanted to get a 'Sun Set' picture but right at the last moment the sun disappeared taking the red bits with it, so OTL was left with the Lighthouse, the Shadow and nothing else!

Not the Sunset he wanted!

 We didn't get back until late and as soon as I've finished typing this, I'm off to bed, 'cos Holly is already snoring her head off, almost as loud as TM when she gets going!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Chasing Indians and other stuff!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again!

It's Friday and we are both looking forward to the weekend. Old Two Legs is going to get his camera gear all sorted out tonight and we have just heard that The Missus will be coming with us to Dungeness as well! Who knows, she may even bring her camera as well. Mind you, I don't think there will be many cards to photograph on the beach!

Our morning walk today was fun, we were out looking for sniffs along The Sea Wall where they had moved all the stones away from the wall.

Holly says that it would make a good race track, just like at Brooklands in the 'Old Days'. Well, I reckon that you must be going at some lick to stay up on that wall and what happens when you get to the steps?

High Speed Wall?

That's simple says Holly, 'You just Jump!'

Jump!

We were having a discussion about racing when it got all dark and dismal, like it was about to rain.

We took a look at the sky and noticed that the clouds seemed to go around in a circle.

Hey, look, says OTL this must be the middle of the 'Low' that has passed over us!

Low?

 Oh, Right, says Holly, Looks 'High' to me!

OTL had to go out to visit a customer at lunch time, so of course we just had to go with him, just in case he got lost!

We started off towards London but Holly and I got the sniff of the New Park and started to woof and howl and sing our 'Walking' song!

How could he refuse? The customer can wait a while longer!

Holly met up with Patch, a doggy she met a while ago, they had a game of 'Chase' until his owner took another path and we parted with a 'Woof'!

Hello Patch! Long time no see!

While Holly was having a game, OTL was busy trying to take a picture of some red leaves, me, I was getting interested in a pile of Fox Poo and wondering if I dare chance a quick roll in it!

Autumn Colours

I decided against it 'cos that would mean a bath when I got home and that might get in the way of dinner and that is not allowed!

So, I didn't!

Aren't I a Good Girl?

Holly found The Fort we used to play in and pretended to be in charge and kept marching up and down and looking out the windows looking for Indians!

I see no Indians!

Then we went over to the Tepee and pretended to wait for the Indians. OTL was busy playing with the camera again and I whispered to Holly, 'Shout out It's Behind You, and see what happens'!

So she did and OTL fell over backwards with the shock!

Holly says it's the best laugh we've had all week!

Wot a Laugh!

Let's hope that tomorrow TM can catch OTL falling over again!

Bye for now, dinner is ready!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Sneaky, Sneaky and Sneaky!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly back again!

It's funny what a nights sleep will do. We went to bed last night and it was still raining, not much but still dribbling down, this morning, Sunshine!

It looks like we are set for a couple of days of warm weather and balmy sky's!

So, we plan to go down to Dungeness and along the coast. OTL wants to wave his camera about and we want a run on the big sandy beach!

This morning we walked along The Sea Wall and enjoyed 'Sniffin the Sniffs' on the beach.

Just Sniffin the Sniffs!

We came across the fishermen who are normally there catching their dinner, but today, the had caught nothing!

One of them started to play a trick on Holly. She did her 'Got and Food Mister?' trick and one of them said 'Yes!'

'Oooo!' says Holly, licking her chops! Then he opened a plastic box, the sort you might keep sandwiches in!

Yes

He put his hand inside and brought out.............A Lead Weight!

Chew on that!

Sneaky or Wot!

Holly was right Miffed, she was all for peeing into his tackle box or having a chew of his boot laces, but in the end she just flicked her tail and walked away!

Now, when a dog flicks it's tail at you, that is the biggest insult you can get, it sort of translates into ' You're not worth letting sniff under my Tail!'

Back home to a brush and a snooze, after breakfast!

We do love our morning snooze, in fact Holly has the best snooze of the day in the mornings!

There are times when she is so into her snooze it takes all OTL's sneakiness to get he to get up and have here lead put on!

Snoozing Holly.

Holly hears OTL call out 'Walkies!' but doesn't move a claw. So, OTL comes in and tickles her tummy and says 'Walkies!'

Holly doesn't move a claw.

So, OTL leaves Holly and comes back out to me standing by the door and shouts out 'RABBITS!'


Holly comes flying off the sofa and tears around the corner, all Teeth and Tail, ready to chase a rabbit.

'Hello' says OTL, 'Fancy a Walk while your up?'

Now that's Sneaky!

We had a super walk at lunch time and Both Holly and I had a 'Practice Dig' at a hole, just sort of getting ready for Saturday when we expect to get onto that big sandy beach and dig 'Enormous Holes!

Just a little practice!

As we headed back to the car, we saw a very big and hairy looking Alsatian dog ahead of us. It was big and black and hairy and not the sort of friendly dog we expect to meet on our walk!

What are we going to do? Holly says that we should bluff the dog, so, we march along, just in front of OTL, and do the 'Throat Growl' which is not so much a challenge, more of a 'Stay Away if You Know What's Good for You!'

OK, Big and Bold !

'Big and Bold' says Holly and you know, it worked! The Alsatian glanced at us and then kept his nose to the ground and walked past!

'OK', says Holly 'Who's the Sneaky ones now?'

Back home for a snooze before dinner and then maybe a game of ball with OTL!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Too Much Wet!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

What a Yucky day it has been. We have been looking out of the window getting ready for a run around the garden but every time we look out, it's raining!

Our walks have been timed to be in between the rain showers instead of when we normally go out!

Mind you, it does let us show off our new rain coats.

Here is me looking terribly smart and doing the 'Puppy Pose' to accentuate the fine lines of my super slim figure!

Daisy looking Good!

 Holly did a bit of posing for Old Two Legs and said that she looked Classy and Sophisticated in her coat!

Classy or Wot?

 In the end we decided that we were both Sophisticated Sisters!

Sophisticated!

 OTL was off trying to photograph rain drops, like, there wasn't enough of them all over the place already!

Rain Drops keep falling on my Leaf!

We spotted a Black Cap in the bushes but the bird was too far away to get a clear shot, so you will have to put up with this wobbly one!

Black Cap.

We spotted Mr Corvid looking for a meal, he said he fancied a bit of Sushi but the gulls must have had it all!

Still looking for Sushi!

We decided that OTL should try some 'Fashion Shots' of us in our coats and we wanted a 'Classic Look', so here is what we got!

First of all there is Holly.

Cool Holly!

 And Me!

Darling Daisy!

Now OTL said that he could do Sepia but then remembered that the tools for doing that were on his laptop, and we know where that is at the moment don't we!

Every time we look out of the window it is raining and every time we have a snooze, the sun comes out!

Not to worry, we are looking forward to a day out on Saturday with OTL and we have been promised sun shine for that!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Looking Good, no matter what the weather!)

OTL is not a Happy Puppy!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

Oh Woe and Doom!

OTL is not in a good mood!

Last night his new super duper laptop that is supposed to be the dogs Doo Dars went into terminal decline! It is less than a year old and a message flashed up on the screen.....'Your Hard Drive is About to FAIL!'

Several phone calls and a visit to the local Computer Super Store means that Old Two Legs is without his computer and all the photo processing software!

So now he is reduced to taking photos using JPEG files!

This is one he took of Holly last night.

Holly and her Chew!

OK, it was done without any flash and at ISO6400 1/15 sec at F5.3 but it is nowhere near the standard he normally produces!

Shame Innit?

Now he has got to live in the real world!

This morning we were up good and early, the rain is still pouring down and really, we didn't want to go out for a walk, even if we were walking around with our legs crossed!

In the end we had to go and it rained all the way there but stopped as we got out of the car and the sun shone!

After our mooch around I suggested a running race along The Sea Wall and we would leave OTL behind!

Look, I said, here is the starting line!

Start Here!

 Off we went like the wind, I was in the lead but Holly was gaining on the bends!

Then, all of a sudden, Holly stops and says 'WOW! Just get a load of this sniff!'

 

WOW!

Well, that was it, I skidded to a halt and ran back to where Holly was sniffing. Unknown to me, Holly sneaked off while I was sniffing and crossed the finishing line!

Sneaky or Wot!

Holly's The Winner!

OTL spotted a big cloud heading our way, so we didn't hang about too long and on top of that we left home with the sniff of lambs heart being cooked for our breakfast!

Yes, interesting, but not as good as Lambs Heart!

Lunch time came and OTL took us down the New Park and we tried the 'WOW Look At This' trick on OTL.

WOW! OTL Look!

 Trouble was, he wasn't interested and said he had seen that trick this morning!

 We carried on but half way around the walk, it started to rain, again, so, back to the car and sit there until the rain stopped.

OTL put our coats on and tried to get us out in the park again but we had just about finished with walking in the wet grass and decided to go back to the car!

On the way we met a young pup who was all excited about walking in the wet grass but we made our excuses and left him to get on with it!

Nah! Your on your own young lad!

 Back home, after a rub down we spent some time catching up on our snoozing in the day beds.

Not sure what OTL has for dinner tonight but Holly and I will be getting a bit, that's for sure!

We have looked at the forecast for the rest of the week and it looks like Friday the sun comes back and stays until Monday, that's when the rain returns!

Claws crossed, if it in sunny we may get a trip out 'cos we haven't been out on an adventure for some time!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Holly has a Good Idea!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you on a very wet and damp Monday!

We were hoping for some sun shine today but instead we get the 'Orange Alert' from the Environment Agency!

Not too sure what it means but we think it must be something to do with the rain!

This morning we were out good and early for our run along The Sea Wall. When we left home it wasn't raining, on the road to The Sea Wall, it started to rain, but when we got there, there was no rain!

Off we went at a steady trot to do our business and sniff the sniffs!

First thing we found was a slug doing a dash between hiding places, it kept saying 'Don't stop me, I'm on a Mission!'

On a Mission?

 Looking over towards Sheerness we could see the sun beams trying to poke through the clouds. Not the best sight we have seen but a sure sign that Autumn is on it's way, you know, dark cold mornings standing around while Old Two Legs gets all excited about capturing the sun rise!

I think I'd rather do that from the comfort of our bed!

Autumn is coming!

We met up with Mr & Mrs Corvid and Mrs had a Cockle Shell she was opening up. 'Morning Girls!' she called, 'Look Sushi for Breakfast!'

Cockle Sushi!

'Rather you than me!' said Holly under her breath, we've got chicken cooking for us this morning!

With that she trotted on ' Come on, I can smell the chicken from here!'

Come On, Home!

We spent the morning resting in our 'Day Beds' and chatting on what we could do on a damp day like today. I was all for digging a hole in the garden but Holly said it was just too mucky for that and we'd only end up having a bath to get the mud off us!

Having a 'Day Bed Chat'

'No' she said, 'I've a better idea!'

In the mornings we get a brush and afterwards we get a Doggy Choc, as a reward, they're really Puppy Choc Drops but we like them as a reward after a brush and it has been that way ever since I can remember.

We ran out of Doggy Chocs a few days ago and now the brush, well, it just doesn't seem the same!

So, Holly reckons we should get OTL to buy some more. It just happens that we spotted a new Doggy Store near to where OTL gets his petrol, so, we pointed out to him on the way out for our lunch time walk, that he should get some more fuel 'cos the tank was nearly empty!

After our quick walk, well it was starting to rain, off we went to the petrol place!

After that we woofed and jumped up and down and pointed to a new Doggy Shop that had opened across the road, well, what could OTL do but to 'Have a Look'!

We came out with some Puppy Doggy Choc Drops, the ones we love, plus some chews that supposed to clean our teeth and they taste good as well!

We also got some of those absolutely super doggy twisty chews that I think are wonderful but Holly says taste like poo!

We also got some more Chicken Fillets that both Holly and I think are brilliant!

On top of all that, we got to go for a walk down at the Riverside Park, in between showers!

So, all in all, a good day and Holly's brilliant idea worked!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (The Brainy One!)
