Boxing Day Games

Hello Everyone!

Daisy & Holly here again.

We must put our paws up to being lazy little puppies today. After the Christmas Day fun with all the family we were just worn out. You know, we didn't get up until seven this morning, we got into our baskets last night and just crashed out!

Today Old Two Legs gave us some more presents to open and Holly got a Ruffty Tuffty type of toy we can both chew and play games of 'Tug' with and it stands up to our teeth, so far! 

I got a very hard rubber ball on a rope that OTL throws for us and Holly and me chase after it and have a game of 'Tug' with that as well.

There were some more nibble things that we like as well.

So, by four in the afternoon we were whacked again!

Here I am having a nibble on the 'Walking Stick' rawhide.

A Big Chew for a Little Dog!

Holly on the other hand, she had been nibbling so much that she did not eat all her dinner, still she can go back to it later on after The Missus and OTL have had their dinner.

She decided to have a snooze cuddling the 'Ruffty Tuffty' toy!

Ruffty Tuffty Holly

We have both had a super couple of days with OTL & TM, a real family time.

Now let me show you a picture of Ethan, who has got a thing about TV Controllers, on Christmas Day he was running around with the controller changing the channels on the TV and switching off the TV the other boys were playing their games on!

OTL sorted him out in the end, he took the batteries out of the controller!

Ethan just could not work out what was wrong! OTL reckons that when his birthday comes around he will buy Ethan a BIG controller with loads of lights on it but no Batteries! Sneaky or wot!

Ethan!

We'll be back tomorrow with more tales as OTL has promised to take us out on an adventure, but he's not saying where we will be going. He says it's a secret, not even TM knows, so it must be special if she doesn't know!!

Bye for now!

Daisy & Holly

Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas to you all and thanks to Dougal, Mary & Grant and PeeJay for the messages, not forgetting Thomas as well and a special Woof to Aggis and his family up in Scotland and all our followers on the Blog.

Holly and I have had a Brilliant day.

First of all, Father Christmas visited and left loads of presents for everyone, including Holly and me!

We know that he comes down the chimney to leave the presents but we can't work out how he got into the house 'cos the fireplace has been blocked up and there is no sign of sooty boot marks on the carpet.

We soon stopped worrying about that as we were both given our presents. There was a HUGE rawhide stick each for both Holly and me and a sock each full of chocy drops and nibblets and a squeaky bone that we will wake Old Two Legs with early in the morning!

There was loads of 'nibbles' that were on the table, so Holly and I mugged anyone who went near them. I just love the Twigglets and the small sausages on sticks were OK, after you got rid of the sticks!

Then there was Christmas Dinner, well, we have never seen such an enormous chicken, it was so big that every one got a helping and there was still loads left afterwards. Old Two Legs told us it was called Turkey. I didn't care what it's name was, it was still one giant of a chicken! 

We had some of the chicken and there was some vegetable things called Brussels Sprouts, tasted a bit funny and both Holly and me suffered from a little wind later in the day!

Merry Christmas from Daisy & Holly and our Family

There was everyone there, children, grandchildren, parents and grandparents and of course, us puppies.

We got made a serious fuss of and played games with all the children. Loads of fun and chasing about left us tired little girls. We are just not used to all this excitement!

I hope your Christmas Day was as enjoyable as ours!

See you tomorrow,

Daisy & Holly

Happy Christmas Every One!!!

Hi Everyone,

We've done all our shopping, wrapped all the presents, sent all the cards except the one to you.

 Holly and I could not agree which card to put on the 'Blog', so, you have got both!

Happy Christmas from Daisy & Holly

Happy Christmas from Holly & Daisy

We both hope you have a wonderful time and all is peace with you and yours.

To all our four legged readers, it's a big WOOF from both of us to you!

Old Two Legs and The Missus ask us to say Merry Christmas to you all as well.

Love you all,

Daisy    &    Holly

Windy Day

Hello everyone!

Here we are again!

Holly and I have been out all day with The Missus. We have been 'Baby Sitting' and having some fun today with the boys, Tom & Matt. Tearing around the house and the garden. We had to be on our best behaviour 'cos the lounge has just been decorated and has new carpet, so, no muddy paws or chewing rawhide on the new suite. The Missus told us we'd be in 'Deep Poo' if we misbehaved.

So, we tried to be good little puppies all day.

Was it Boring or wot!

When we got back home Old Two Legs was pleased to see us and we were so glad to see him. We both jumped up and gave him a big wet lick on the nose!

We had chicken for dinner, one of our favourite meals and afterwards we mugged OTL for a bit of shortbread!

After all that rushing around today we decided to go off to bed early because we were both tired little girls.

OTL said we are going back tomorrow, can't wait, can we jump on the new sofa tomorrow?

Bye for now,

Daisy and Holly

Mid Week Mayhem!

Hello All,

Daisy & Holly back again!

We have been having some adventures today. First of all The Missus took us out for a walk this morning over the fields. While we were walking along there came a strange noise in the sky, we looked up an saw ten Canada Geese flying in formation. They looked so professional  flying together in a big V shape, we watched them fly past and I said, 'Don't they look good, flying together like that'.

Holly asked if they taste like chicken.

That puppy's only interested in her stomach!

We went out with Old Two Legs in the car to post some letters and take some parcels to the carriers. After doing all that he asked us where we wanted to go next, 'Over The Farm' we both decided, so off we went.

We ran all over the place and OTL took some photographs.

Winter Solstice 2010

When we got back home, a little wet and looking for a bite to eat, Holly decided to have some fun with OTL, we both jumped out of the car and rushed to the front door. I went tearing in to see TM but Holly went off down the path towards the football field. Well, OTL went after her but she would not come back and every time OTL got close she would run away again. They went all over the place, OTL calling Sit, Here, Holly, Come Here! Nice Doggy, You PICKLE.

Then he was threatening to take her tail away for a week!

It took him a half hour to get Holly back on the lead, she said she let him catch her, because she was getting a bit cold!

Gotcha again OTL!!!

See you tomorrow,

Daisy & Holly

A day with The Missus

A very good morning to you all!

Daisy & Holly back again!

We've been out walking with Old Two Legs and as normal, he has been snapping away with the camera. However, we didn't know he was taking our pictures as we were heading down the road to home.

So, Holly and I have a small competition for you.

Guess who is who, no prizes, unless you want one of my old chews!

Who is Who?

OTL went to see Grandma again today so we stayed all day with The Missus. She spent most of the time wrapping presents. We had fun trying to guess what was in the boxes. There was some seriously funny smells!

OTL came back and was then instructed to do loads of stuff around the house, sort of clearing up. Then he had to put a cloth on the dining table and knife & fork and stuff.

We wondered what was going on but then remembered, we got Miffy & Karen coming over for a pre 'Christmas Bash'. We don't mind because they have the whiff of Pussy Cat about them.

They've got two Pussy Cats from the local rescue centre and have given them a warm home.

These cats have their own special door to the garden, it opens when they walk up to the door, posh or wot?

We have to bark and shout to OTL & TM before we can go out. I wonder if it's too late to get a door like that for us?

See you tomorrow!

Daisy & Holly

Fun Day Monday

Hello to you all from Daisy & Holly,

We have been charging around in the snow again and this time we didn't get loads of snow balls sticking to our legs. So, now we can run almost flat out across the fields chasing each other.

Charging around on the snow

Holly has made a discovery. When we have our coats on, she can chase me, get along side of me, and grab my coat collar and roll me on the ground. SNEAKY OR WOT!

We went out with Old Two Legs to do some, 'Last Minute Shopping' as he calls it. Not too sure what he means but we did go to the Doggy Shop! and Oh! the Smells! They are SO Wonderful. Holly and I were going crazy. First we'd find one super smell, then find a better one, then one even more better, and then one betterer than that!!!

Heaven! it was just HEAVEN!

OTL brought some stuff but he would not let us see what it was, all he would say was,'Wait until and see what Father Christmas brings you'! 

(Father Christmas is the same as Santa Claus and he's the one with a reindeer called Rudolph that has a car brake light for a nose.)

If Father Christmas brings me a SatNav, does that mean I'll get a camel as well?

Back to the afternoon snooze before a walk and dinner. 

See you tomorrow!

Daisy & Holly

The Snow Fairy is Back!

Hello Fans!

Daisy & Holly here again.

Old Two Legs woke us up early for our walk, so he could get a photograph of the sun rising over the fields. Well we got to the spot and he set up his camera gear and we chased around the field. I don't think the photo was too good because the clouds hid the sun as soon as it poked it's head above the horizon!

Morning

What a day! The Missus went off to her local crop in the village hall and we settled down to watch some football before going off to visit Grandma.

Around twelve we climbed into the car but very soon it started to snow. At first Holly and I were all excited, woofing and looking out the window at everyone.

Pretty soon the snow really came down, and it started to get deep on the roads, so everyone was going slower and slower. OLT went further down towards the motorway but, when we got close the snow was falling down so much and the wind was blowing it around so hard that we couldn't even see the road. 

Dodgy stuff we thought! So did OTL. he decided we would return home because it looked, as he said, 'Too Dangerous',

We came off the slip road, but we could not even see if it was a road, there was so much snow. OTL drove back along the road but soon had to stop because there was a big traffic jam. A big truck had got stuck half way up the hill and nothing was moving at all.

Snow Jam

Nothing moved for hours.So,we amused ourselves by leaning out of the window until we were covered in snow flakes. The we woofed at the other people in the cars, especially a poodle that was in a car next to us.

He woofed back and we got a real war going on until his owner told him off........Spoilsport!

It took four hours to get up that hill!

We saw some good views on the way home and OTL stopped the car to take pictures. Here is one Holly and I like. Especially as you can see a Christmas tree on top of the church tower.

St Mary's Church

When we got back, TM had just got back from her card making day. We ran up to the door and yapped until she let us in, then we raced out to the back garden for a game of chase while OTL filled up the bird feeders.

Wot?No Bird Seed?

All in all, a good 'Adventure Saturday'!

See you tomorrow.

Daisy & Holly

Making OTL Jump!

Yoo Hoo!

Daisy & Holly here again.

In our never ending quest to confound Old Two Legs, Holly and I have come up with this wonderful wheeze.

For our birthday we were each given an identical toy. It was a small, soft rubber ball that looks like a 'Space Hopper' and every time you bite it, it squeaks.

OTL likes chasing us around with these and squeaking the Hopper, we in turn run away as though we are scared and don't like the noise..........Well, it keeps him amused!

Holly and I have come up with a new game.

Holly goes into the bedroom with one of the squeakers and lies along side the bed, one paw resting on the squeaker.

Holly & Hopper.

I go into The Missus's craft room and hide in the corner with the other ball.

Daisy & Hopper

 I start off by biting my ball.........squeak.

Then Holly steps on hers...........Squeek.

OTL.............What?

I bite mine again....................squeeeak.

OTL...................Umm!

Holly steps on hers again..................squEEEAk.

OTL...................Eh?

Well we have OTL running backwards and forwards between rooms looking for us 'Squeakers'

In the end we come running out to him woofing and laughing at the same time.

Gotcha Again OTL!!!!!

Back again tomorrow.

Bye for now.

Daisy & Holly

The Wire Haired Fox Terrier comes out in us!

Hello Fans!

Daisy & Holly here again!

We must tell you about our walk this morning. The Missus took us out and we went on our normal route out past the holiday camp.

Well, we got to the turning where we head off to the Old Barn and I spotted it first.

There, in the field, in the middle of the field, standing on its own, was the biggest old dog fox that Holly and I had ever seen.

Something clicked in our DNA, (Doggy kNows All), we both stood looking at this fox for about half second, then we were off, going like Rocket Propelled Puppies. 

Holly was slightly in front of me giving out the traditional hunting call of the WHFT (Wire Haired Fox Terrier).

We had learnt the call from our Mum, she'd have been proud of us!

The Missus had by now seen what was going on and started to call us back, (no chance!) still we chased after the fox, who by now had decided that a VFX (Very Fast eXit) was in order and proceeded to leg it across the field.

TM was jumping up and down calling us, blowing the Doggy Whistle so hard I thought she would break it!

After a while I could see that the fox knew where it was going, into a big bramble bush where I know it had several exits. I reckoned that if it got there before us it wasn't worth chasing any more.

Yep! It got there first and disappeared inside. Holly got there next and dived in, I had by then stopped and was listening to TM jumping and shouting and blowing the whistle like a thing possessed!

Ooops! I thought, we could be in trouble here! Holly was still crashing around in the brambles and making a terrible noise. I reckon the fox was at least a mile away by now, so, I slowly started back towards TM. I didn't get too close 'cos I reckoned I could be in trouble and she may take my tail away or sell me to the Dogs Home that OTL talks about.

Holly had by now calmed down a bit, and was trotting back as well, smiling from ear to ear!

Oh, WOW did you see it go? Holly said as she got back to me, Oh WOW do you see what TM doing? I said and we both looked towards The Missus who by now was as red as a Poppy and had steam coming out of her ears from blowing that Doggy Whistle, I swear it had melted, she was blowing it that hard!

OTL thought it was great fun and listened to us as we told and re told the tale while he was brushing our coats. 

He said we were Big Brave Puppies and gave us an extra Doggy Choc Drop.

After all that excitement, we both spent most of the morning asleep dreaming of Fox Hunting!

What a day!

See you all tomorrow.

Daisy & Holly
