Today is for Relaxing!

Hi Fans!

D&H here!

We had a super night, no burglars or noisy cats, just a super peaceful time cuddling our rawhide chews and listening to Old Two Legs snoring.

Well I think it was OTL, mind you, it could have been Holly!

We had a little bit of a lay in, 'cos you see it's The Missus that gets up early and makes so much noise that we can't sleep. However, OTL is a late sleeper and we get a few extra minutes to wake up properly!

Having TM away has it's benefits, until it comes to breakfast time.

There we were, expecting chicken or liver or lamb in our food bowl and what did we see this morning?

Doggy Food!

Yuk, YUk, YUK!

It's going to be a hungry time until dinner tonight!

Holly and me spent most of the morning sitting at the window looking at the world go by and at the same time keeping an eye out for TM in case she decided to come home early and feed us some proper food. When she didn't, we went back to sleep in our day beds and snoozed until lunch time.

Still waiting for The Missus!
Around midday we went out with OTL to do the deliveries and post some stuff. Then he says, 'where now girls?'

The New Park!

It was a little windy but we didn't care, the sun was shining and we also said 'Hello' to the Not Neddies!


Hello Not Neddies!
For some reason they were not pleased, a couple came over and said 'we don't talk to little puppies and another thing, we are not Not Neddies'!

We are not Not Neddies.
Well that was it, Holly got right upset with them, fancy them acting like they own the park!

Watch this, she whispered to me.

She got up on the post thing and called out to the Not Neddies, 'Hey, you lot'!

Hey, you lot!
When they looked over Holly shouted back, 'Your right, you aren't Not Neddies, your a load of rude Not Not Neddies'!

And with that, she blew a Raspberry at them!

Your a bunch of Not Not Neddies!
Off we ran, laughing at the Not Not Neddies for being so rude and in the end only looking foolish, that'll  teach them!

We went for the long walk around the orchards and came back via the swimming pool. We said hello to some of the lads there but didn't hang about as OTL was getting ahead of us up the path!
The Lads around the swimming pool.
After all that running about we were tired little puppies and we slept most of the way home. Looking forward to our chicken tonight, OTL has promised!

See you tomorrow,

Luv

TM's Gone Baby Sitting Again!

Hello All,

Daisy & Holly here again!

What a wonderful sunny day today, If this keeps up we are set for a brilliant summer.

When we got back from walking this morning, The Missus, had left for her baby sitting duties. So, we were left alone with Old Two Legs all day.

It's not so bad really, we get to go for a walk when we want, 'cos all we have to do is 'woof' a couple of times, and I go up to him and stroke his leg with my paw and there he is reaching for the lead!

He's a big softy really!

Today we went to The Farm, a super place full of new sniffs. We saw that they have been cutting down some trees and making a clearing in the forest.

Can't see the wood for the trees!
It was strange seeing all that open space where before there were trees, we would run around in the trees and chase foxes and rabbits!

Now, all we see is open space and Bluebells, which 'aint so bad I suppose, at least it is a bit of colour!

Bluebells
It was great fun hiding in the flowers and letting Holly try to find me, every so often I'd stick my head up and shout 'Boo', just to surprise OTL or Holly!

Hiding in the Bluebells
Holly and I like running along the road on The Farm as well, we can get a good turn of speed but OTL has to watch out for the cars and lorries on this road. We have to go to him if he calls us and most of the time we do, I suppose it's the way he says 'Here' all sort of meaningful and demanding instant attention.

Any other time we take no notice of him at all!

Watch out for the cars!
After getting home we were worried that TM had not come back or even phoned OTL, so we sat in the window waiting for her to come home.

Waiting for The Missus.
We saw several of the neighbours, some of the local dogs and at least four cats. You can imagine how we woofed at the cats!

It looks like TM is going to be away for a few days 'cos by the time we were ready for bed she still had not come home. It's not the same without TM giving us a cuddle on the sofa.

Poor OTL, he had to cook his own dinner tonight, he really can't cook like TM, the flames coming out of the cooker are nowhere near as big as when TM cooks, and, he didn't set the smoke alarm off!

So we reckon his dinner was ruined, no smoke, no flames, he's not very good at this cooking lark!

We were OK, we got chicken again, then we mug OTL for some of his dinner and after that, a nibble of Jacqui's shortbread!

Posh puppies or wot!

See you tomorrow.

Luv

Daisy & Holly

What a Super Sunday!

YO HO Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

We have had a Super Day today, first of all we had a walk across The Farm with Old Two Legs and waved bye bye to The Missus and Sheila as they raced off to Ally Pally to meet all their crafty mates.

When we got back we had a special breakfast of liver and biscuits, which we devoured in no time at all!

Then we helped OTL load the car up with all the stuff we would need for today.

Dog food, drinking water, bowls for us to eat out of and bowls for us to drink out of, and rawhide chews so we don't get bored on the way down there, an our day bed for snoozing in on the way to Canterbury, and OTL's camera stuff.

When we got there we jumped out of the car and were off to explore while OTL got all the gear out of the car.

We had a rest after about an hour, we had to, OTL is not as fit as he used to be and he needs his rest stops!

Checking OTL's seat for Foxes!
We stopped at some of the sheds that are called 'Bird Hides', I still don't know why they call them that, I mean, I've never seen a bird hiding in one!

Holly looking for birds!
Holly first checked out the shed, just to make sure there was no one in there to steal our lunch!


Marsh Harrier
We saw a Marsh Harrier outside and kept a keen eye on it,OTL said it likes frogs and little puppies!

We must have walked loads of miles, by the time we got back to the car, OTL had carried me on his shoulder a couple of times 'cos I was dog tired!

When we got home, TM was waiting for us with a bowl of liver, it tasted just like it did this morning, Grrreat!

We also got a surprise present, Jacqui and Steve met TM at Ally Pally and gave her some chicken and some lamb 'Nibble Treats', they were super, best of all she sent some really posh shortbread she had made, and it was supposed to be just for OTL.

Fat Chance!

When we settled down with OTL after dinner, we helped him eat some of the shortbread, and it tasted wonderful!

We are going to make sure we help him eat the rest!

Thanks Jacqui & Steve, you certainly know how to get to OTLs heart, straight through his stomach,  which is too big 'cos he keeps eating shortbread and drinking malt whisky!

See you tomorrow.

Luv

Sneaky OTL!

Hello Fans!

Daisy & holly back with you again.

We have seen a side of Old Two Legs we have not seen before! Sneaky, crafty and cheating!

It sort of started like this. The Missus keeps giving OTL long lists of things to do around the house, mending decorating,digging in the garden, washing the caravan, fixing the roof, clearing up his office and other boring stuff like that. Well, he agreed to paint the kitchen over this weekend. He said that as TM was going out with all her crafty mates to 'Ally Pally' for some card show/market/rally thingy wossit. He would be able to do the painting and not have to worry about her wanting to use the kitchen for cooking and washing clothes and making our dinner and stuff.

Now that pleased TM and she had a relaxing day watching a re run of the F1 motor racing qualifying round and falling asleep half way through it!

OTL, sneaked into the kitchen and went potty with the paint brush and managed to finish the kitchen in one day instead of the two days he told TM it would take!

When he finished, he called Me and Holly and asked us what we wanted to do tomorrow, Sunday, especially as it was going to be warm and sunny.

The Marshes!

So, tomorrow while TM is going crazy at Ally Pally, we are off to have an 'Adventure'!

That OTL is a real sneaky Two Legs!

Hey up, it's dinner time!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Sun and Fun on Friday

Hi Woofers!

D&H back again on a wonderfully sunny Friday.

We had an early walk with The Missus, across the fields, said hello to the Neddies, woofed at some workmen messing around in the Youth Club yard.

That was until one of the men started up a wood cutting saw and scared the tail off Holly!

You know, I've never seen her move so fast down the path! Warp Factor Three and a Bit!

Auntie Sheila came over to play at cards with TM, we think Auntie Sheila is the 'best', 'cos she lets us out for a wee when OTL & TM go out in the evening. So she gets a big lick from both of us when she comes here.

Lunch time we went into see Old Two Legs in his office, Holly stood behind him and woofed a couple of times and I did my 'Can we go Walkies' look, it never fails!

Before long we are down on the Sea Defence Wall again enjoying all the sniffs we missed out on yesterday!
New Sniff Here!
 Then we went along the beach where normally the water covers it and we can't get there.

Another New Sniff!
It was great, new sniffs everywhere, Holly even found a cockle that got left behind the last time the tide went out!

Then we saw it!

It was like Dragons Teeth sticking out of the shingle, all ready to bite you if you got into them!

Something to keep the neighbours out!
OTL said that they were very old, even older than him! He also said that they were there to 'keep the neighbours out', why they couldn't just put a big door there I don't know!

We had a good game and got back before the tide came in. Holly and I were playing 'Hide & Chase', one of us would hide, then when the other got near, would jump out and chase them up the hill!

Betcha can't see me!
See if you can spot me in the vegetation!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Pongy Porkie Puppy & Poo'y Daisy Dog!

Hello Everyone!

D&H back with you again.

We have got ourselves into an 'Adventure', and, before midday!

Old Two Legs had to go out delivering and stuff, so we tagged along with him. First it was a trip to a customer who runs a fleet of dustbin lorries. (Wonderful sniffs there!)

Then onto the factory estate to drop off some stuff to another customer. Next stop was the rubbish dump to throw away some things The Missus wanted rid off. That done, we just 'had' to have a walk over The Farm, 'cos it's so close!

That's what we did, plenty of sniffs and running and chasing butterflies and birds and OTL, when he whistles! We were going across a field when Holly gets a nose full of 'Super Sniff' and dives off into the field to check it out. So good is this sniff that she decides she wants to keep it around for a while, so she has a roll in it.

OTL saw this and was not pleased, in fact he was doing his crunch! He could see the sniff was a combination of several donations finishing up with a really squishy pile that Holly managed to get all over her back.

OTL had steam coming out of his ears and a few other places judging by the racket he was making.

Dunno why he was getting so wound up, I thought the sniff was OK myself!

When we got back to the car it was a case of giving Holly a rub down with some hand cleansing wipes OTL keeps in the car. Back home we went, telephone call to TM to get a bowl full of Doggy Shampoo ready for when we got in.

Poor Holly, she got all the sniff washed off her and a few other sniffs as well!

Afterwards, we had a snooze in the garden just to get dry, yeah, serious snoozing!



That didn't stop OTL taking us out at lunchtime for another walk, but this time it was along the Sea Wall and TM even came along as well!

So, taking a leaf out of my sisters book on life, I also found a pile of poo that had an irresistible sniff, and I had a roll as well!

Well, it seems that I managed to get it from one side to the other, evenly spread and with acceptable penetration into my fur!

Anyone for a sniff?
OTL was not happy, steam, smoke and Holly said there was fire as well!

I was chained up in the rear of the car all the way home, then dumped into the sink and washed, all over!

I lost the sniff, and got wet and soggy, all the way through to my skin!

Naughty Corner!
I also had to spend some time in the naughty corner.

I didn't mind too much as Holly brought me my half of the carrot so I would not be bored!

Bored?

Me?

Never!

Just enjoying a snooze before diner!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Just look at that sun!

Hi Woofers,

D&H back with the sun shine today!

We have been 'On Patrol' last night and at four in the morning we heard a noise outside, so we went GDM (Guard Dog Mode).

We woofed and then we growled and then to make sure, we woofed again. The Missus didn't join in this time, I think it must be she is getting to trust us to sort out the burglars and pussy cats who creep around at night!

Having done such a good job, we were expecting some sort of reward at breakfast time, what did we get?

DOGGY FOOD!   Yuk and Double Yuk!

That's it, we are on strike, no more cuddles, no more ear licks, no guard dog mode, no more games with the washing either!

If she wants to dig the garden she can do it on her own, we are not going to help her!

Old Two Legs rushed around doing his work and was getting ready to go out, so at least we had an adventure to look forward to, even if we were both faint with hunger!

And we did have an adventure! We went with OTL to deliver some stuff then off to his accountant and on the way back we stopped off at the Riverside Park! It was brilliant, the tide was on it's way in but there was still loads of mud to walk in!

We saw the Old Boat again and it was still making loads of noises!

That Boat Again!
Holly tried out some bird watching and she saw a Black Headed Gull, but the Gull saw her first and started making squawking noises!

See You!
A bit further on Holly saw one of her old friends and stopped to say hello.

My Mate!
I think OTL must have had a word with TM 'cos tonight we got some chicken, not a lot, but enough to fill a tummy before mugging OTL for a bit of his dinner!

As it was warm this evening, the kitchen door was left open, so Holly took the opportunity to woof at the neighbours for making a noise in their garden!

OTL had to call her in!

We had our after dinner snooze and we both woke up in time to have an early night 'cos we are out with OTL in the morning doing more deliveries!

It's a hard life being a puppy you know!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

What a Wet Day!

Hi All,

D&H back with you.

Just like the blues song,

Woke up this morning
got out of bed
went for walkies and felt the rain upon my head!

I'm going back to bed, yeh!
no rain for me
Gonna spend time in bed wishing it was, sunny!

Aw, come on, it's not that bad, remember I'm only a puppy!



We spent the day snoozing, eating carrots, mugging The Missus for chicken strips and sitting at the window waiting for Old Two Legs to return. You see he has been out today climbing up tall towers and looking at things.

Holly and me like going up in the loft when he goes up there but that is about as far as we want to go, we won't bother with anything higher thank you!


When he came back, OTL took us down the Sea Wall again and on the way we pretended we were driving instead of OTL.

Holly Woofing along the road!
 Holly crashed the car twice 'cos she was too busy woofing at horses by the side of the road and OTL reckons I should be booked for speeding!

We don't care, when we got out of the car we spent most of the time running up and down the beach. On the way back to the car Holly ran downhill and said she got to 'Warp Factor Three', what ever that is!

Warp Factor Three!
 It was good going out with OTL, we get some fresh air and a run, he gets fresh air and cold!

Maybe he should run as fast as us and then he'll keep warm!

Talking of warm and sunshine, we saw a swallow fly over us, a sure sign the summers a' coming !

See you tomorrow, (we have been promised sun shine all day!)

Luv

Daisy & Holly

A New Adventure!

Hello All!

D&H back again with some more fun and games.

After Mothers Day we had a late morning, we got up for a wee and a woof then went back to bed for our 'after getting up' snooze, we then over slept and had an extra half hour in bed!

Come on, having a lie in on a Monday morning, that is luxury!

Sun shiny morning was spent helping The Missus clear out the shed. There were loads of stuff from the caravan and they all brought back good memories of holidays and stuff.

There were also the spiders who live in the shed, big hairy ones with hob nail boots on!

Old Two Legs and TM took us out to the New Park where we met several other dogs, including Benny who was trying to teach us to dance!

Dancing Queen
I had a look at the map, while Holly was off having a sniff, but I still couldn't work out where I was!

The Map's Upside Down!
We made friends with a little Two Legs as well, Holly was all big and brave and let her give her a stroke!

Holly's new friend!
Holly said she was OK and did not pull your fur, so I let her stroke me as well!


My Friend as well!
After all this running around we got home a very tired pair of puppies and after diner we spent most of the evening mugging OTL for shortbread and then snoozing.

We hope your day has gone well, ours has!

See you tomorrow,

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Mothers Day for The Missus & Us

Hi All!

We're back again.

A Big Happy Birthday Woof to MaryB and Hi to Dougal, Yo Lads! have a Grrreat day and not to much of the cooking sherry!

What a super day this has been, we woke up good and early to woof off the cats and The Missus joined in with us, first she woofed at the cats then woofed at us for woofing at the cats in the first place!

So, as she was awake, we jumped up and gave her a good Mothers Day, wake up lick on the ear.

Well, Holly had one ear and I had the other!

What better way to start the day than that?

After our early walk we spent the morning in the garden, playing chase with the birds and chewing on a carrot, the sun was bright and warm on our backs and I even got a little bit of a sun tan on my tummy.

It was either that, or I might have rolled in something a bit grubby!

Just before lunch time Old Two Legs and TM got dressed up in their 'going out' clothes, Holly thought we might be left alone again, but no, we got to go in the big car and off we went to Holly's old house. It was fun seeing the boys again and everyone went out to have a 'Mothers Day Lunch'. We couldn't go because we are not allowed into the building, so, we had our own Mothers Day Lunch and a snooze on the new furniture which we can only go on when everyone goes out and leaves us alone!

Also, we got given a 'Meaty Postman', it was a meat flavoured biscuit in the shape of a Postman. It tasted wonderful, Holly and me took turns in chomping our way through that while everyone was out.

Mighty Meaty Matey!
 It was a relaxing day really, eating sleeping, running around and finally a snooze before going to bed.

I reckon we got Mothers Day sorted you know, if there are any more this year we'll know exactly what to do next time!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly
