First Swim of the Year

Hi All,

Daisy & Holly here!

Today has been a super day, we've been out running across the fields, we've been chasing each other all over the house, we've had a super snoozett this morning and after lunch we had our First Swim This Year!

Holly, me and Old Two Legs went down the Sea Wall after lunch and had a walk along the beach. The tide was just on the turn and was gently splashing waves on the beach. The only problem was that the concrete was so slippery that we kept slipping over!

Slippery or Wot!

We ran all along the concrete path and down the steps onto the beach where there were loads of sea shells. There we met another dog, called Bonnzo, we said hello as we passed on the beach.

Hello Bonnzo!

Holly reckoned it was warm enough to go for a swim and she bet me next weeks Rawhide Chew and said I would not go in for a swim. Well, for a Chew, I might just!

To Swim or Not To Swim?

I wandered in up to my tummy and made a splashing noise as if I was swimming, but I still kept all four paws on the bottom!

Holly said I was cheating, I said I was not, then we got into a 'Discussion'!

I was out there!

So I went into the water again and pointed out where I was swimming, but she said I was cheating and she would not give up the Chew to a cheat!

I said that I was going to tell OTL and he would sort it out, trouble is, by the time we got back in the car, I'd forgotten all about it!

I must make a note on my iPod to have a meeting with him tomorrow!


See you again soon, I hope!

Luv

Daisy and Holly

Home Alone!

Hello there,

Daisy & Holly here!

Have we had a strange day today. Old Two Legs was up early this morning, we got our normal run across the fields and boy was it cold! There was a deep frost on the ground and the cars were covered!

The frost did not last long 'cos as soon at the sun shone it just disappeared.

When we got back, we had our brush and The Missus gave us a whacking big bowl of chicken each, it was super!

Tails up and muzzles in girls!

That did not last very long and soon we had cleared the bowl and was looking for OTL for our little after breakfast snoozett.

OTL was all dressed up ready to go out, and he came down stairs, gave us both a stroke and went out the front door without us. About ten minutes later, TM was out the front door with all her card making stuff, we were on our own!

Seems OTL was out for one of his photography meetings, all day, and TM was off to her local Crop.

Well we thought, the house is ours!

We had a wonderful game of chase all over the place, upstairs in the bedrooms and out in the garden. We both had a sleep on their bed, it was lovely stretched out across their pillows!

A couple of hours later we heard TM come back to take us out for our midday walk, so that wasn't too bad and then we got taken up to the village hall to see the ladies who were 'Cropping'.

Busy doing Cropping!

There were Ooo's and Aaah's when we walked in and we had fun chasing each other all around the hall, having a sniff in the bags in case there was any food to be found!

Bag Sniffin for food!

No such luck, just the normal glue pots and and sparkle stuff!

Holly had an explore and found a notice she could not work out the reason for, why wash your 'hands' us puppies are clean girls, we don't handle our food.

Paws for Hand Washing!

We just shove our snouts into the bowl and bite lumps out. Much safer that way 'cos you never know what we tread in when we're out, glue, peel off's, pen ink, paints, sticky bits of sponge, well these Croppers are a strange bunch and you never know what they play with!

See you tomorrow, let's hope the sunshine is still here!

Rainy Day Puppies

Hello to you all!

Daisy & Holly back again.

Friday started off very well, we had a good walk with Old Two Legs over the fields where we woofed at some skylarks and chased each other up and down the path.

We got back and after a good brush we were served some Pigs Liver and biscuits for breakfast. The Missus is learning you know!

Around nine there was a ring on the door bell and there stood the food man! He is always welcome at our door, especially if he is bringing our food!

Once all the food was put away TM gave us our Rawhide Chew, a sort of 'Friday Treat' for us.

As we only got one, that means there is some 'Grumbly Time' as Holly and I sort out who gets first chew. Today Holly got the chew first. I jumped in later and took it off her, so that meant more 'Grumbly Times' but we got over that in our normal way.

Around lunch time we were looking forward to a long walk with OTL but as soon as we stuck our noses outside the door we knew it was going to be a walk around the football field.

It was Raining, that slow steady drippy rain that soon makes you too wet to have fun.

A quick wee and a poo and we were running for home, leaving OTL a long way behind!

The rest of the day was spent having a snooze in our day bed and chewing on a carrot that Holly mugged from TM.

There was loads of carrot bits all over the house where Holly and I decided to stop for a chew!

We also had a game of 'Hide the Carrot' in our bed and we had to find it, while the other was still in bed!

Carrot Hunting!

That means loads of growling and snuffling and grumbles and some times we bite each others tail, pretending it's the carrot!

Needless to say we always end up having a cuddle and a snoozett, just before going down stairs to see what TM is doing for dinner!

Afternoon Cuddle, before dinner!

It was Chicken! She is certainly learning her lesson!

Sunshine tomorrow, so we are looking for some fun!

See you tomorrow,

Luv

D&H

Lumberjack Puppies!

Hi all,

It's D&H back again.

The Missus took us out this morning and after all our protest yesterday, what did she do?

Puppy Food Again for breakfast!

This is not on you know!

We have decided we will go on a 'Sit Down' strike in protest. Everywhere TM went, we would sit down in front of her and give her the old 'Hairy Eyeball' treatment.

When she wanted to go upstairs, we rushed in front of her and walked, slowly, up the stairs. It was the same when she came down, we got in front of her and slowly walked down.

Aunty Angela arrived today to play at card making with TM, the pair were gassing away and slapping the glue pot around, throwing sparkle stuff all over the carpet!

Holly decided to stay down stairs on the arm chair and put the 'Eye Ball' on the pair of them but it didn't seem to work.

Later, Old Two Legs had to take the printer down the rubbish dump, it stopped working and had gone on permanent strike!

Just across the road from the dump is The Farm!

We had a great time, 'cos we haven't been to The Farm for a while, there were so many new sniffs to sniff and woods to explore.

Sniffin New Sniffs!

We chased each other all through the woods and up the paths and across the field where the footpath went. We had a super run across the grass field where they keep sheep sometimes.

Then we saw it, an enormous pile of logs by the side of the road, waiting to be picked up. Well, Holly being champion climber, was straight up the top followed closely by me.

OTL was jumping up and down and telling us to get off because it could all fall down with our weight on top.

Yeh! Right, like, us little puppies are going to move that lot. No way!

Lumberjack Puppies!

When we finally got down from the pile, OTL put us both on our leads, just to teach us a lesson!

Oooooooh! He can be so masterful sometimes!

We understood he was only getting cross because he didn't want us to get hurt, so we forgave him this time for putting the lead on early.

On the way home in the car we were singing the Lumberjack Song, you know, the one that goes, 'I'm a Lumberjack and I'm all right, I work all day and I woof all night'

Then in turn we each add a silly line, like, 'I'm a Lumberjack, I wear a hat and I smell like a Pussy Cat'

Holly was laughing so hard, she was rolling around on the back seat of the car holding her ribs because, she said, they were hurting so much!

I'm not sure if it was the funny lines or OTL's singing!

Good news, TM must have got the message, we had Pigs Liver for dinner tonight, so it seems our strike worked after all!

See you tomorrow!

Play Smelly for Us

Hello to you all out there,

Daisy & Holly back again after a funny old day.

We went out with Old Two Legs this morning for a run across the fields. When we got to the horses, Holly woofed at the horses in the field and I noticed there was a super smell on the ground, so I had a roll in it!

What I didn't know was that the horses were being fed by their owners and they had a big Woofing Dog with them!

Well, Holly went woof woof and this other dog turned around and went WOOF! WOOF! and chased after Holly, saw me and chased after ME!

We did our 'Run and Turn Quickly' trick which threw him off a bit but he still chased us all along the path until his owners called him back.

It was a bit hairy for a time but we outwitted him, 'cos we're smart puppies!

OTL got us back home and marched me straight into the kitchen, filled the bowl up with warm water and dog shampoo. I sort of knew what was going to happen next, yep, I got washed all over my back.

He washed off the smell, well not quite all of it, there was still a hint left to show off to Holly with!

That was until we wanted to follow OTL up into the loft, he lifted Holly up then came down for me.

Cuddled in his arm we climbed the ladder, 'Cor, Poo!' he said, 'You Honk!'

I thought I smelt OK, just sort of South of Doggy and West of Horse, if you know what I mean!

Not OTL, as soon as he got us out of the loft, he got out the 'Doggy Deodorant' and squirted it all over my back!

Did I jump or what!


That is not a nice thing to do to a little puppy like me.

Now I smell like the bathroom after The Missus has been getting ready for a party, all sort of flowers, talcum powder, tooth paste and the squirty smell she sprays all over her!

Mind you, we did get Lamb Mince today for breakfast and dinner, sort of makes it worthwhile, almost!

See you again tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Hard work having fun!

Hi All!

Daisy & Holly back again.

We have had a quite sort of day today. Breakfast of tinned dog food went down like a cold wet dish cloth! We don't know what is wrong with The Missus, she knows what we love and what we don't and what do we get?

Old Two Legs took us out at lunch time and we went down to the Sea Wall. The tide was out so we had a wonderful run up and down the beach, over the sea shells and jumping over the breakwaters!

Because it was very misty we couldn't see the ships, so we could not wave to all the sailors as normal, but we did bark at the Fog Horn at Sheerness!

Misty View

We ran along the beach almost all the way to the end of the Sea Wall and then we ran and chased all
the way back. I don't know if you have tried running on sea shells but it's a bit like running in mud and it makes you very tired if you do too much of it.

Yes, we did too much running on the sea shells!

The afternoon was spent having a snooze in OTL's office, you know we were even too worn out to try beating each other up!

c

Snoozing with My Sister

I reckon that we will spend this evening snoozing as well, providing that is we get a decent meal this evening!

See you tomorrow, if we don't succumb to hunger!

Daisy & Holly

Guard Dogs R Us

Hello all you Woofers!

It's Daisy and Holly here again.

We have been good girls. We have been doing our job as House Guard Dogs and scaring off all those night time burglars and The Sneaky Rubbish Raiding Pussy Cats.

It was about four in the morning when I heard Holly woofing, so, I started up as well in support of her verbal attack against these intruders, after a few moments I asked what she was barking about and she said that she was only barking because I was barking and I said that I was only barking 'cos she was.

We both looked at each other and was about to discuss who barked first, when, in a flurry of Winceyette Nightie and 'flip flop' hob nail boots, The Missus came crashing onto the scene growling and snarling and barking and making a terrible noise!

She rattled her hair rollers and stamped her feet on the ground, not a pretty sight!

Well, she certainly scared the burglars and pussy cats away, plus she scared us too!

We shot up stairs to Old Two Legs and jumped into bed with him so that he would protect us from TM!


We didn't hear any more burglars and if we did I think we may just let TM deal with them!

OLT took us out to the New Park and although it was a little chilly, we had a good run around and said hello to a number of dogs we knew, and a few we didn't!

Now there's a sign that tickles Old Two Legs when ever he goes through the gates to the park. It is to do with the dog owners picking up the mess after their dogs. (I think they mean the poo)!

Well, there are some owners that don't and we keep coming across the evidence!

This notice makes OTL smile and really gets to the point, trouble is, it's wasted on some owners, maybe they can't read the notice? Maybe they think there is a Poo Fairy!

The Poo Fairy!

As Holly says, we are OK, we don't need a Poo Fairy, we got Old Two Legs!


See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Sunday is for resting!

Hello Everyone, I hope your Sunday has been relaxing.

With the exception of Angela, we hear it's her birthday, so breakfast in bed, the kids do the housework and the ironing, finishing up with a wild party tonight?

Happy Birthday!

We've had a lazy day today, after yesterdays route march around The Marshes we felt a little 'Jaded'.

I had a twinge in my back legs, Old Two Legs reckons it is cramp, so he gives my legs a good rub which seems to ease the ache. By the time Sunday comes, it has all cleared up and I'm back to normal again!

We went down to the Sea Wall today and had a long run along the beach, Holly and me went sniffin around the concrete blocks to see if there were and Sea Monsters lurking underneath them.

There was nothing there except an old shoe and a bit of seaweed!

Sea Monsters were Here!

We had Pigs Liver and some doggy biscuits for dinner, the biscuits were boring but the liver was super, Holly and I can't get enough of that stuff!

I think it's time for a snoozett before mugging OTL for a biscuit before we head off to bed.

See you tomorrow,

Luv

Daisy & Holly

We've Been Birdwatching & Badger Chasing & Fox Hunting & Hole Digging!

Hello to you All!

And a Happy Birthday to Steve, save some cake for us!

We have been having really good fun today!

Old Two Legs did as he promised and took us on an Adventure, we've been down to Canterbury and out on the marshes, well, sort of round the edge really.

We left early and packed our food and water into the boot together with OTL's camera gear and binoculars and his Bird Watching coat.

All the way down we were singing songs and asking if we were there yet, just to wind OTL up!

The first bit of the walk was over the bridge, which always has loads of smells drifting along the river, there were smells of ducks and dragonfly's and frogs and weed and rats!

River Stour

A little further on we saw a Long Tailed Tit and for a change it was on it's own, which is unusual as they normally keep in family groups.

Long Tailed Tit

We started off by looking for any signs of life, there was loads, Holly reckons she smelt the foot print of a Water Monster and we made plans to catch it and take it home to The Missus, but OTL said it was Swans Poo and we had to leave it alone. How does he know, he didn't smell it!?

Sniffin for Water Monsters!

A bit further on we smelt Foxes and Greasy Badgers and Holly tried to dig a hole in the bank side but OTL said that if we did that the water would come through and we would have to swim home!

Digging for Foxes

OTL was Here!

We had a good game of tracking OTL, we ran off pretending to chase a rabbit so that we could not see OTL, then we turned around and using only our noses, we followed OTL's smell. We tried doing it with our eyes shut but kept falling into the ditches, so we kept our eyes on the path instead.

It was good fun until we lost him really and it was only when he called us that we realised he had gone up the steps to a bird hide!

OTL' bin Here!

We found OTL!

We must have gone miles around the marshes, we certainly felt worn out by the end of the day.

After a long day like that, you can imagine, we slept all the way back home and most of the evening and even went to bed early.

Who knows, we may be out on another adventure tomorrow and us puppies need our sleep!

See you all soon,

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Whoopee it's Friday!

Hi All,

Daisy & Holly back again!

Today is Friday, that means the Food Man comes. The Food Man is a lovely man, he brings food for The Missus and Old Two Legs and of course, our food!

Best of all he brings our Rawhide Chews!

Now it is a well known doggy thing, no matter how juicy and tasty the thing I've got tastes, I will always want the one that Holly has, and visa versa. So, we grumble and growl and nick the other one while our one is being nicked by the other doggy. Only then do we decide that our original one was better and we try to get it back by grumbling.

Better still, if we can get our one back and still keep hold of the other one, success!
It's just so we can compare the taste and chew-ability at different points!

Now, if you have two dogs and two chews and one dog wants both chews, well you do the maths all I know is the answer is, we get into 'Grumbly Time' and OTL shouts at us and we get one chew taken away, so we have to share the last chew.

Not happy 'cos OTL's taken a Chew away!

That is, we are then minus one chew, so, that means one chew divided by two dogs equals, Grumbly Time.

Oooo, this maths thing hurts my brain, How Leonis got a 100% in her maths test is beyond me. She must be really clever, I bet she has her own chew and doesn't have to share with anyone!

Now, we have one chew and two doggies, so, that means half each. The problem is, which half is mine, or hers, no matter which end we chew, we always reckon the other end is better, so we get into Grumbly Mode again!

Two Doggies into One Chew!

 I think I'll go back to bed now and have a snoozett, 'cos my brain hurts!

See you tomorrow for an Adventure with OTL, we hope.


Luv

Daisy & Holly
