Poor Old Two Legs

Hello Again!

Daisy & Holly back to see you!

Sunday has been a bit 'uneventful'! You see Old Two Legs was mending the caravan water heating system yesterday and spent a long time doubled up under the seats.

Now OTL is not what you would describe a 'Terrier Size' he's sort of 'Irish Wolf Hound' and as you know, they don't fit into small places.

Nor does OTL!

So, this morning when he woke up he made such a terrible noise! He was complaining about his back aching.

We tried jumping up and down on him to make him feel better, but it didn't, all it did was make him even noisier!

He made such a song and dance about getting out of bed that we thought he'd never make it!

The Missus had to take us out for a walk across the fields and to say hello to the horses. We told them about OTL and his bad back and they said that we must be very careful and not jump on him 'cos that made it worse.

We didn't tell them about how we woke him this morning!

So, today has been sort of, slow, Holly and me have been amusing ourselves by chasing each other around the house while OTL groaned all day.

We did hear him say that it wasn't hurting so much this evening so, we didn't feel too bad about mugging him for biscuit at tea time!

It's Mugging Time!

He still made a noise when we both closed in on him, but we had our paws on his stomach and that's no where near his back!

He really can be a wimp some times!

We hope he gets better tomorrow, I mean, we need our long walk down the New Park and if OTL don't take us, who will?

Bye bye for now.

Saturday and we are still working hard!

Hello People!

Have we been busy puppies today.

First of all there was the 'let's get The Missus up early' barking song! We started that at about four in the morning. Then after that we rushed up to Old Two Legs to tell him how cold and wet our noses were! He loves that, hee hee!

Seeing that it was just gone six, we decided a small 'after wake up snooze' was what we needed and went back to our day beds for an hour!

TM was down stairs playing on her computer because she could not get back to sleep again.

OTL just turned over and went back to snoring.

Later, after breakfast, TM went off with all her card stuff in the car, off to visit Auntie Karen for another 'one card day' we reckon!

You know, that poor old car is wearing its tyres out carrying all her stuff!

OLT had to do some work in the caravan, so we stayed in the caravan with him and made up some new caravan songs! OTL said they were very funny and can we teach them to him!

We tried, but you know the trouble we have with OTL, he keeps getting the woof mixed up with the howl, and as for the Grumble-Grumble-Woof, he has no idea just how important that bit is!

When we got to the New Park, Holly said hello to a dog with very long legs, Holly said she would like legs that long, I thought she would look silly!

Hello Long Legs!

A bit further on we came across a load of dogs jumping in the swimming pool. Holly thought about going in but decided it was too wet!

At the Swimming Pool

On our way out we met up with a doggy we had seen before and exchanged some info on the location of some super smells!

I'll tell you where the best smells are!

We got back home all tired and worn out, but not so tired that we couldn't woof down a super dish of chicken and biscuits!

It was good to see TM again when she got back home and guess what?

Not even one finished card!!

I bet she spent all day gassing to Auntie Karen!

See you tomorrow

A Visit to Uncle Stuart

Hi Everyone!

It's Us again!

Today we have been out visiting and getting in trouble. ( It was Holly's fault really)

After getting up this morning it was all very exciting waiting for Old Two Legs to get ready and get us in the car then off to see Uncle Stuart, via, the Doggy Shop with the wonderful smells!

We had been out first thing with OTL for a run across the fields and Holly found this very old rat skin that had been on the path since before Christmas, well, she just had to have a roll on it 'cos she loved the smell.

I found some fox wee in a ditch and told Holly about that, so, we both just had to roll in that!

It was a Real Pong!

When we got back home it was a brush, breakfast, then off to the car.

The Missus said that there was a strong smell of 'DOG' in the car, well, what do you expect, we're dogs!

Then she got a sniff of Holly's back and declared it was her making the smell.

Then she sniffed me, that was it, I was the culprit!

She said I SMELT ROTTEN!

TM said that we just had to stop at the Doggy Shop!

In we went all excited about the smells and we went straight to the shampoo section, and that was strange!

OTL & TM had a rummage around and came up with a tin can, OTL took the lid off and then squirted some cold smelly stuff from the can, all over our backs and sides!

It was HORRIBLE!

TM said we smelt much better and almost like perfumed puppies. 

We still got another squirt when we got to Uncle Stuart's place, 'just to make sure' said TM!

TM, OTL and Stuart went out for a bit of lunch. While they were out Holly found a real 'Haggis', she began to nibble bits off it, like the label and a tuft of fur, but it didn't taste very nice so she left it in our day bed.

When Uncle Stuart came back we felt bad about it and had to tell him and say we were very sorry. 

Holly said she would never chase another Haggis, unless it was cooked and served with Shortbread and a glass of Malt Whisky!

Sorry Uncle Stuart!

 We were really sorry and felt terrible because he had brought us a rawhide chew each,  we are going to start on them tonight when TM & OTL have gone to bed!

TM is off to her mate Karen's to play at making cards tomorrow, (Karen is one of the 'cat people'). We are expecting to go out with OTL for a long run in the park. 

I hope he gets all his work done early in the morning, I think we will wake him extra early, just to make sure!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Hard Day being a Puppy!

Hello You All!

We have been Busy Busy Busy today, we got up late, again, Old Two Legs was ready to go out before us this morning!

The social circle up on the Field, so many smells, so little time!

Then it was a spot of lunch and then away with OTL to the New Park for a two hour run!

We met a sneaky Alsatian who pretended to be a horse and crept around the back of the notice board and went Boo!

He almost made me jump out of my fur!

We had a game of 'Chase' with him, he chased and we ran away!

Then this very old large hairy sort of sheep dog came by and said 'Hello Youngsters' and we said hello back and told her where a good smell was and she thanked us and said that her nose was not as good as it was when she was our age.

Here's a Smell

We went all the way around the Orchard and I climbed onto a ball of wood which Porky Puppy Holly could not get up on. So, I teased her calling her a Lump and Short legs and she went potty trying to get me!

Queen of The Castle!

 When I finally jumped down she tried to chase me and knock me down, no chance! I'm much faster than Holly at running!


Holly showed off, she would not share any smells with me and when OTL stopped for a sit down on seat she jumped up beside him and sulked!

Holly having a Sulk!

OTL called her an Old Grumble Guts and tickled her tummy and then her ears, she soon began to laugh and jumped down to chase me again!

Holly running after me!

We both fell asleep going home, we were tired little puppies.  The Missus cooked us some liver tonight, it tasted wonderful.

Big full tummies meant that we spent most of the evening having our 'after dinner snooze' only to wake up in time for a wee in the garden before going to bed proper!

See you all tomorrow, we're off to see Uncle Stuart in the afternoon, he's never met Holly, this should be good fun!

Wednesday Wonderland

Hello Fans!

Daisy & Holly here again with more tales or should that be tails?

We had a busy day yesterday, after our morning walk across the fields with Old Two Legs, we got back to a fine breakfast of Puppy Food.     YUK!

No, don't get me wrong, puppy food is OK when your stomach walls are knocking together and even OTL's old boots look appetising, but we have grown accustom to a more refined diet. Chicken, Liver, Beef, Lamb is what we really love and chicken heads the list!

I think The Missus is trying to skip cooking for us 'cos opening a tin can is easier and it gives her more time to play at card making!

Soon we may have to hold a protest meeting and even discuss strike tactics!

No more cuddles, no more lick on the nose to wake them up, that will make them think again!

OTL had to go out in the afternoon to do some work, he dropped us and TM off at the Boys house so we could go and meet them from school. We do enjoy meeting all the other dogs outside the gates and when the Boys come out they make such a fuss of us!

OTL came back to pick us up and he drove the car back home. It was good fun trying to teach TM the songs, she could not remember them and kept on singing the same bit again and again! OTL did not help, he was singing a different songs all together!

We're off to see what we can find to eat, maybe OLT has got a bit of Duck Fillet left?

See you soon,

We've Had A Lazy Day Today!

Hello to you all,

Holly and me have been lazy puppies today, we got up late, it was gone seven before we woke Old Two Legs.

You know, the old 'cold wet nose in the ear' treatment.

Then we went back to bed for our 'after getting up snooze'!

OTL had some work to do today and when he went out he left us behind!

We spent the day looking out the window for him or sleeping in his office. Mine you, when he did come back, he got a serious 'welcome back' from Holly and me.

We jumped onto him from the chair and his glasses went flying, we nibbled his ear, licked his nose and generally made a big fuss of him!

By the time he got back, it was too late for us to go out for an adventure, so we had a walk with him across the fields and around the back of the golf course.

On our way we shouted 'hello' down the fox hole but got no reply, maybe they were out getting a Kebab or Fish and Chips!

There were no rabbits around either, we think they were out shopping as well!

We heard the man from the dog kennels shouting at his dogs as he walked them across the other side of the field. I bet he has trouble with those dogs, I mean, I'd run off if I was shouted at like that!

When we got in, OTL gave us some 'Duck Fillets' which we just LOVE! They are strips of dried duck and they taste super! We sometimes get chicken fillets and they are just as yummy!

I suppose OTL gave us those because he felt guilty about leaving us at home all day with The Missus, while he went on an adventure on his own!

Tomorrow we are off to pick up the boys from school, that should be fun, we always make a fuss of them when they come out school. This time we can tell them about our day at school and how we are too clever to need to go back!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Yipee It's Monday

Hello Fans!

It's Daisy & Holly here again.

It has been a lovely day today, the temperature outside has gone up by two degrees and the sun has been shining all day today.

Makes you realize that Spring is just around the corner!

We've had  good day today, The Missus took us out for our morning stroll across the fields this morning and we have had chicken for breakfast again!

Old Two Legs has been busy in the office doing some manufacturing, so we spent the morning standing guard at the bedroom window, just to make sure no pussy cats crossed our garden unchallenged!

This afternoon we went down to the New Park again, we sung the new songs on the way down and OTL even managed to get the correct chorus this time.

Other than that, his singing is terrible, he woofs when he should howl and howls when he should woof!

Still, he does try, and it gives us a good laugh!


When we got there the first doggy we met was Jock, a West Highland Terrier, we seem to meet loads of these. We said 'hello' and had a little run but he was finishing his walk and didn't want a big game of 'Chase'

Hello to Jock The Westie

On we went, sniffing the path to see who was in today.

It was a gentle afternoon and the sun had just started to go down.

Late Afternoon

We went past the place where the cows and sheep were kept. I wanted to have a go at being a sheep dog but the sheep said she didn't feel like a game today, and went back to eating the grass.

Wanna Play Sheep Dogs?

Holly got ambitious and said she wanted to herd the cows but the cow said they were called 'Heifers' and Holly could, go away!

So rude!

Heifers R Us!

We went past The Guardians again and that was good fun 'cos we got up on the seat and pretended we were Guardians as well. OTL said we would make good Guardians if we could keep awake!

The Guardians of Kent and Us!

Holly said she could stay awake if she wanted to but standing up all day would be a bit difficult!

Guardian Holly!

After all, she liked using all her four legs to stand up on!

We tried to get OTL to sing us some new songs on the way home but he kept on forgetting the words again, he's not very good at songs unless he has them written down on paper in front of him!

See you all tomorrow!

Super Sunday

Hello all you Two Legs!

Daisy & Holly back again!

We've had a really lazy day today, we got up late, then went back to bed for another snooze, and that made us late for our morning walk! It was a bit drafty, up on the top field, the wind was blowing hard and even Old Two Legs had to take his glasses off because the wind was making his eyes water.

When we got back, we had our normal brush before breakfast, but breakfast was Chicken!

Chicken is our most favourite food, second possibly to OTL's shortbread or maybe his Twigglets, or a bit of Venison Burger, (OTL calls 'em Bambi Burgers) or some Roast Beef or maybe a bit of Lamb, or even Pork Pie!

After breakfast, it was back to the office and our day bed, for a snooze before going out again, on our Sunday Adventure!

After Breakfast Snooze

As it was a little cold, we decided that a run around The Farm would be a good idea, especially as OTL had to drop some stuff off at the rubbish tip!

So that's what we did, all the way down there we woofed at the other dogs on the side of the road and Holly sang a couple of new songs she had learnt from Buster next door! After a while we were all singing them as we went through the town! It was especially funny 'cos OTL kept forgetting the words and got the chorus all mixed up!

When we got there, we started off by watching a Spaniel type of dog running about in the field, chasing a ball and taking it back to it's master. Pretty stupid game we thought, what's the good of taking the ball back to your Master if he's going to throw it away again?

Watching Training & Laughing!

Holly said that it was a waste of time taking the ball back and some dogs just didn't have their tails screwed on straight! I wasn't too sure of what she meant but I agreed, just to keep her happy!

It was good fun sniffing all over the Farm, you see we had not been down there for a little while. The old sniffs had faded and there were new ones to check on.  It's a sort of Doggy Notice Board of who's around!

I'm sure I could smell a squirrel here but it was a faint sniff. I could also sniff fox that had past by but that was last night.

Sniffin Squirrels

We didn't find any squirrels and Holly and I reckon they are all sleeping this time of year, just like the Badgers!

We met a big bouncy Labrador type of dog that scared me 'cos he was just too large!

His name is Cody, a funny name for a dog, but OTL says it's an American type of name, made famous by Buffalo Bill Cody who chased Indians and ate Buffalo Steaks and drank whisky without shortbread!

Buffalo Bill Cody on the Road!

Here's a picture just to show you what it's like on The Farm.

Run Daisy Run!

Holly and me had a game of 'Chase' in the field where the sheep are normally kept. It was great to be able to stretch our legs, we could run for miles and not bother to look where we were going!

We got back home, all sort of worn out and ready for our afternoon snooze.

We woke up just before it was time for dinner, it was chicken and a few biscuits!

We are pretty good at telling the time by the rumbling of our tummies, it's called a Doggy Clock!


See you again tomorrow!

Luv D&H

We went to School!

Hello!

Daisy & Holly back again!

We went to school today! Old Two Legs had to do some work at a big school close to us and we went into the big office to help him.

Well, what we did was to have a snooze in our day bed that OTL had brought with us, then, after that, we ran around the office chasing each other through the desks and chairs. It was great fun dodging in and out of the paper bins as well. Holly knocked a couple over!

After we left the school we decided that we don't really need to go back, I mean, they never actually taught us anything, so, we will leave it for the children and we will stick to important things like chasing foxes and badgers!

We travelled from the school straight to the New Park and we spotted some sheep in a field, so Holly and me discussed how we would round them all up, just like big sheep dogs!

Look, Sheep!

Holly said it would be fun being a sheep dog for a day or two but not full time. She prefers being a guard dog, not so much running around!

While having a sniff, we did not see that Grumpy dog creep up on us, you know, that one Holly asked if her face hurt!

She made us jump and we weren't sure what she was going to do, but this time all she said was 'Hello young girls' so, that did not sound as though she was going to box our ears!

We shared a sniff or two with her and Holly asked where she came from, Gravesend, she said, no said Holy, your ancestors!

Well she told us she was a  Chinese Shar-Pei and that China was a long way away and that her breed was used to keep bears away from the sheep, which was a change from wolves and foxes. She must be doing a good job, 'cos we haven't seen any bears in the park, ever!

Chinese Shar-Pei

She said that Bears lived in caves and cracks in the rocks and you couldn't be too careful when sniffing around rocks and stuff. She showed us how to sniff for bears, it was sort of similar to sniffing for Badgers and foxes, but you have to be more careful 'cos bears have sharp claws and are very grumpy if you wake them up!

Bear Hunting!

Holly and I left her to hunt bears and ran after OTL because it was getting a little cold. Our fur keeps us warm but a cold wind can certainly put a chill up our tail!

Back home for a snooze before The Missus gets back from her Crop, you know, all day to make just one card!

I don't know about her cards but the mess she makes with bits of paper all over the place, we reckon she should have made a hundred cards!

See you tomorrow, bye bye for now.

Daisy & Holly

Woofing Friday

Hello!

Daisy & Holly here to see you again!

We love Friday's, 'cos that's the day the Dustbin Men call to take away the rubbish. I've got no problem with them taking the rubbish, it's just the Noise they make. Crashing the bins about and shouting at each other.

Well, Holly and I join in with the shouting bit, we shout at them to be quiet 'cos Old Two Legs is still asleep and then OLT shouts at us to stop shouting at the dustbin men 'cos it has woken him up and the dustbin men are shouting at the lorry to 'Hang on' and so it goes on until they leave the road.

It's Grr-eat fun and it certainly gets you up in the morning, And, it gets OTL out of bed as well!

It was a bit cold across the fields this morning, cold enough for the Snow Fairy, but we did not see her, even though I kept a look out.

Today OTL took us down to the woods for a change, there was mud everywhere! To start off we said hello to a youngster who didn't realise there was two of us!

Don't move, there's someone behind you!

It was fun creeping up on him!

We went on and said 'hello' to the Bronze Age Barrow, Holly said it was a hill not a barrow 'cos a barrow has two handles and a wheel!

Bronze Age Barrow with the wheel missing!

The trees were too much for Holly, sight of a tree gets her all excited about climbing up the trunk. So, there were a few new trees that had fallen over and she found this one, so, she just shot up.

Holly in the tree tops!

I tried to climb up as well but did not get as far up as Holly!


Holly just loves trees and she gets upset when they have to chop them down but there are times when the trees become sick and the safest thing to do is chop it down. In the woods here they leave most of the trees on the ground so that they can become homes for other animal, and of course, a climbing frame for Holly!

Fallen Tree

Tomorrow is Saturday, so we are wondering where OTL is going to take us, he says he has some work to do at a customers before we can go out but we don't mind. Who knows, we may even get to go with him and stand guard over his tools!


See you again soon!
