Honky Pond!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy here.

I'm not sure about you but it's been a fun Saturday here in North Kent.

It started off with us missing the sunrise and only catching the last of the morning glow.

In fact, the sun had got up and then ran off to hide in the clouds!

It was about ten minutes later that the sun was climbing over the second bank of cloud!

 It was after this that the sky was lit up and photography was a bit of a loss!

Being a Saturday means The Missus is off to the village hall for communal glue slapping so Old Two Legs and I started work on the garden pond.

Actually, it was OTL in the garden while I watched him working!

Our garden pond has been around for some time and suffers from being a sort of rubbish bin for the leaves from the tree.

After these many years the leaves have fallen into the pond, rotted down and formed a thick layer. The plants we have in there, Lilly and Reeds, have grown a root ball that is a good metre diameter.

Finally, after these many years, OTL has started to remove this root clump.

Now, it's OK to take this root clump out but it is heavy and smelly, I mean, it HONKS! It took a good ten minutes to haul the root clump out and onto the patio where, with the use of a garden spade to chop it up, he finally reduced it into lumps that were small enough to load into the compost bin for the dustbin men to take away!

Now, all this slopping about means that the root ball splashed all this honky rotten water all over OTL, so, not only does the roots honk but OTL also honks!

I think that next week we will have another go, once the water has settled down.

Such fun!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy.

  1. Yo Daisy. Nice pictures of the sunrise this morning, I missed it cos it was still dark when my mum made me get up and then I was very busy on guard duty to notice the sunrise. Now I got a telling off last night, see my boy went downstairs for a midnight snack and drink, well I was asleep but I heard him going down, now being wot a good woofer like wot I am, I decided not to bother going down on account of knowing I had to get up early for work, so, I stayed snuggled up in bed. Thing was, when he went to bed, I felt a tad peckish, so I played my game of turning on the landing light then waiting till it went off and running past it again, so it was, light on, light off, light on, light off, just like wot the karate kid does. Well when the light was going off, I was grrrring it at it and that woke my mum up. She thought I needed a wee so up she gets, staggers down the stairs, goes to the back door and opens it and waits for me to go out, well of course I didn't want a wee, I wanted a biscuit, so I got told off! I mean, how mean is that? Anyways, we went back to bed and off to sleep and then the next minute the alarm was going off for us to get up for work, well I really didn't want to get out of bed, neither did my mum but we had to. Brenda and Millie called up this afternoon for a cup of coffee and an natter. Now I'm going to have to put my paw down with Millie, she's after my biscuits. Sounds to me you had a busy day supervising OTL while he was digging in the pond, hope you persuade him to get in the shower cos it's not fun going to bed with a TL wot honks. Tell Mrs TM if he don't go and have a wash behind his ears. Take care and stay safe and warm all. Love, licks and sniffs from little Arch and the others. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
