Running on the sand and The Alamo!

Hi Folks!

Daisy & Holly here again.

Have we had some fun here today, we went around the field this morning and did our normal 'woof' to the sheep and lambs.

We've been on patrol last night looking out for the Foxes again, but this time we didn't hear anything, mainly because Old Two Legs was snoring, he had been on the whisky again and always snores after a whisky!

Mind you, he also snores without a whisky, so it's a lose, lose situation as far as snoring and OTL go!

We went down onto the beach and the sea was right out in the distance, so we had a little room to run!

And did we run!

We ran and we ran!
 Then, just as we thought we could not run any more.........

We ran some more!
It was super!

We saw a dog running up behind us so me and Holly got behind the wall and pretended we were at The Alamo and I was Daisy Crockett until Holly said that he died at The Alamo, so we just woofed at the doggy until he went away!
The Alamo!
All this running and woofing made us so hot, in fact it was so hot we decided to have a lay down in the stream to cool off!

Cooling Off!
What was better, we found a super sniff that OTL couldn't see, it was sort of spread around and under the sand but it still was worth a roll, so, I had a roll and OTL just thought I was rolling in sand, which I was, sort off!!

Rolling in something Smelly!
By the time we got back we were tired, hungry puppies, so if The Missus wants any Guarding or Patrolling done tonight, she can do it herself!

Bye bye all, and we will see you tomorrow!

Luv

A day with The Missus

Hello Woofers!

We have been having a restful day with The Missus 'cos Old Two Legs went out on his own to a Birdy Site that does not allow dogs!

That is terrible! Just pictures of boring birds and no doggies!

Yellow Wagtail
Well, we sat outside the caravan and woofed at the sheep, then we got hot and went inside the caravan and woofed at the sheep. Then we went outside and woofed at TM to go for a walk and woof at the sheep!

A relaxing day!

When OTL came back, we went out for a walk and I found a feather, Holly wanted the feather, I said no, she said yes, so we had a 'discussion'!

Feather Fun!
On our way around the field, we woofed at the sheep again!

It was super watching the sun go down, no blazing sunset but pretty!

Sunset in Romney!
Tomorrow, OTL has promised that we can go out with him down to see the sea and run on the beach and chase sea gulls!

Can't wait for that!

Early night tonight just so we can wake them up early!

Bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Daisy's Diary from a field of sheep!

Hello All!

Daisy & Holly here in sunny Romney Marsh,in the middle of a field of sheep and lambs, or as Holly would say, Kebab on the Hoof!

A big woofing Happy Birthday to Fiona up in the wild and woolly North East of Scotland!

That's where you get real tasty carrots, so Holly says!

We got down here mid afternoon and it took some time to set everything up, including the satellite dish!

The Missus has got to have her comforts you know!

We've been out to say hello to the sheep and they told us to 'Baa Off', seems they remember us from last year!

Hello Mint Sauce!
Holly said that we should give them all names, like Kofti Kebab & Chips or Lamb Stew or Lamb Chop!

We will have plenty of time to talk to them some more, so we will let you know how we get on!

OTL has found out that there is a Barn Owl nesting in a building in the next field, we expect OTL to be sitting in his tent waiting for the bird to show it's face!

More news tomorrow.

Luv Daisy & Holly

Phew! What a Hot Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

What a glorious day it has been, sunshine from the word go this morning!

We got up a bit late today 'cos we over slept after being 'On Patrol' last night.

There was some strange noises that needed investigating and we discovered that it was The Missus talking in her sleep, something about Copic Pens and Camel Hair Brushes!

We went out with Old Two Legs to pick up some radios down at the local docks, there were some huge ships in the harbour, all sort of rusty and a funny smell of sea salt and mud!

We went out for our lunch time walk along the Sea Defence Wall and found a bag with some ones lunch in it, OTL said we had to leave it in case they came back for it!
Lunch?
There were a couple of fishermen having a snooze, I suppose their worms learnt how to swim and they were waiting for them to come back!

Snoozing Fishermen!
Holly had a look for the worms but could not see them, so we left the Fishermen and wandered off.

A little later we met up with Doris, an old Dalmatian who was out for a stroll along the wall, we said 'hello' and had a chat about the smells we had found.

Hello Doris.
Her owner was a gentle lady who gave us a stroke and Holly got and extra long tickle behind the ear!

Holy gets a tickle!
When we got home we spent the afternoon either snoozing in OTL's office or sun bathing in the garden!

A seriously sunny day that we hope will keep on until the end of Easter!

We are off on holiday tomorrow morning after OTL has done his jobs, so we are getting excited about that already!

Be Bye for now and we will see you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

A day Baby Sitting with The Missus

Hello all!

We've been out with TM today baby sitting The Boys.

Just for a change instead of charging around the garden when we got there, we asked TM to take us down to The Lake.

It was great fun chasing around, saying hello to all the dogs we met, plus the ducks and geese.

Holly still wants to know if they taste like chicken!

All this running about made us both thirsty and hot, so, Holly said she was going in for a swim, but she only got as far as her tummy before she turned around and came out!

Thinking about it!


Decided against it!
She said that a paddle was as good as a swim on a warm sunny day like today!

We found an old log that The Boys climbed all over and Holly, being Holly, just had to climb as well. I'm sure that in a previous life she must have been a monkey!
Don't wobble the log Holly!
We got TM to take a picture of us with The Boys and Holly thinks that they got almost as much fur on their heads as we have!

Who clips your fur?
After a while they went into the playground where us doggies aren't allowed, so we crashed out in the shade of the fence.I think it was the first time we had stopped all day!

At last a rest!
It was good to get back home and see Old Two Legs, poor lad had been working so hard all day!
After dinner, we just crashed out, it has been a very tiring day and we are a couple of sleepy puppies so I think we may even have an early night, if OTL gets our beds out before sitting down to watch TV! 

Not long now before we are off for a few days break, going to see the sheep and lambs, just like last year!

There is a great long beach with loads of space to run about, Holly and me are getting excited about seeing it all again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Easter is coming!

Hi everyone,

Daisy and Holly here again on a fine and sunny Sunday!

Old Two Legs, flushed with his success at washing the caravan yesterday decided that he would wash the cars today.

After yesterdays fun and games, he told The Missus that he was going down to B&Q to buy a new hose pipe 'cos the old one kept leaking and where he chopped off the end bits it was getting too short to reach our to the cars!

So, being a decisive sort of person, he told TM he was off to buy another one, forgetting it was Sunday and they didn't open until ten in the morning!

We set off at nine, got some fuel for the car then had at least a half hour to kill until the shop opened, so we went down The Woods!

It was great, all the leaves were growing on the branches and the birds were singing and Holly saw two large dogs jumping into a pond in the wood, chasing sticks their owners had thrown in. Holly being a friendly sort went to say 'Hello' but these doggies thought she was after their sticks and they woofed at her and chased her away!

OTL and I laughed at at her and she ran quickly back to us after getting woofed at!

Holly got a little way down the path then turned around and blew a big loud raspberry at the dogs, just to teach them a lesson!

The rest of the day was spent either sitting in the caravan watching OTL wash cars or having a chew on a carrot in the garden, well, the sun was out and what better way to spend a Sunday than resting in the garden and chewing on a carrot?

Tomorrow we are off to see The Boys, TM is doing some more baby sitting, so we will not see OTL all day and he will just have to get on with his work rather than take us for long walks!

Poor old OTL!

See you tomorrow and we will tell you what we got up to!

Bye bye for now,

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Getting ready for Easter!

Yo Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with some more fun.

Today The Missus packed her card making stuff and went off to her local crop in the village hall for another day of gassing and little card making. You know she takes mountains of cardy type stuff and comes back with nothing except a drawing or two she has painted!

We didn't care, Old Two Legs and us washed the caravan, and got it all ready for the Easter Holiday we have booked. Well, OTL did all the washing and we played inside the caravan, having play fights and watching from the windows for dogs and cats or people we can woof at!

Watching OTL do the washing was fun, he has not washed the van since last year and it had got a bit grubby and there was some moss and dead leaves on the roof, so, there was OTL stretched across the roof trying to wash off all this stuff and the water was running all over the roof and down the sides of the caravan. OTL was up a ladder by the side of the caravan and the water was coming off the roof and down OTL's trousers and soaking him from the waist down!

Holly and me were laughing so hard we fell off the seat and onto the floor!

It took OTL most of the morning to get the caravan looking clean and when he finished at around two, we asked if we could have a walk down by the sea. Yeah, it was great going down to the beach again after being stuck inside the caravan all morning!

Mind you, OTL had to change out of all his wet clothes first!


Trotting on the beach.
Holly and I had great fun running along the beach getting our paws wet and sandy!

We met up with a family walking along The Wall and they had a young dog called Pete, who said hello and we had a little chase around with him!

Pete and family!
 On the way back OTL saw this Peacock Butterfly on the ground having a sun bathe! He got a couple of pictures before it flew away!

Peacock Butterfly.
For the little time I saw it, it looked very pretty with it's wings laid flat and it looked like it had four eyes.
A bit like OTL, he's got four eyes, but he's not as pretty as the butterfly!

We had chicken for dinner, it certainly made a welcome change from the Doggy Food!

Can't wait until we get a bite of the pig bones OTL bought, but I think he is keeping them for our Easter Holiday!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Sniffs at the Doggy Shop

Hello Everyone,

D&H back to see you again.

We have had an exhausting day today, we've been all over the place, first of all there was the morning walk, then Old Two Legs got his list of jobs delivered from The Missus.

Somehow he accidentally dropped the list into the office paper shredder and could not stick the bits back together again. He was so scared that TM would tell him off that he didn't tell her about the accident!

Then we were off to drop some stuff off and got to the Post Office and the Bank, busy, busy morning!

On our way up to the computer shop we stopped off at the big green grass area and had a run around,but we had to stay on the lead 'cos there were too many little children and big children running around, so OTL wanted to keep us in check!

Spoil Sport!

After that we went up to the Doggy Shop! Oh the wonderful sniffs in that place, we dragged OTL all around the shop and back again.

Then we helped him decide on what to buy.

We went for some Chicken and Tripe Doggy Food, we didn't fancy the other stuff! Then we went for our treats, first there was some chicken strips, we love them. Then we got OTL to buy some Tripe Nibbles, we've not had them before so that is something new!

Then we got a big bag of Roast Pigs Ears, yeah, real super chewing stuff that is, and it keeps us quiet for a good thirty minutes!

But best of all, a real super new treat to keep us busy for hours is the two gigantic roast pig bones!!!

We could smell them through the plastic bag, they looked as good as they smelt and they smelt out of this world!

Holly and me decided that tonight, OTL could have his medicinal slurp of the Water of Life and we would not mug him for a bit of short bread!

Now, are we kind to him or wot!

We both decided that tonight we will be dreaming of those bones all night long and into our 'After Wake Up Snoozett'!

I'll let you know tomorrow!

Bye Bye for now.

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Back to The Farm looking for more sniffs!

Hello Woofers,

Daisy & Holly with a report on today's goings on!

We went out with Old Two Legs this morning over The Fields, not too clever as it was beginning to rain and I just did not fancy getting wet! Luckily, by the time we got to the field it had stopped raining and it was just a bit windy, didn't mind that at all!

We got back to some chicken for breakfast and The Missus followed that up with some Doggy Food, not too pleased about that!

We had our normal 'after breakfast snoozett' and went off with OTL to deliver some stuff. After that, The Farm!

OTL decided that we would try a new path and let us loose on the new path once we were away from the road.

New Path, New Sniffs!
When we got to the other side of the field, there was a wood with loads of Bluebells and bunches of  Wild Primrose's, OTL tried to photograph the Primrose but he really should have a tripod if he wants to do it properly!

Wild Primrose
 We had a run around the woods and found a big chalky pit and hill that Holly and me ran right up to the top and off into the woods!



Quarry Dogs!
Well, OTL couldn't find the path that went all the way around, so we had to go back the way we had come!

We had a laugh at OTL not finding the path!

Laughing at OTL
We met up with a couple of young Jack Russell dogs, just seven months old. These two were not only noisy but they got Holly all wound up and she threatened to bite them both, so their owner took them on another path to get away from us!
Holly tells them off!
Holly was still grumbling when we met up with Peanut who was a gentle giant but Holly was a little off with him!

Holly with attitude!
Still not back to her normal self she even told the old dog fox to stay on his side of the field or she would box his ears!

A Fox in his place!
When we got back home, we had Liver for dinner, so we now have a very happy Holly and a happy Daisy!

Two little doggies with full tummy's having a cuddle with OTL, life is indeed good!

See you tomorrow!

TM is coming back and we are clean and smelling sweet just for her!

Hello Everyone,

D&H here!

We had a great time last night, Old Two Legs said that as The Missus is coming home on Wednesday, we could have a bit of a party!

So, we got out the nibbles and some of the chicken strips and a few beef strips and the chocolaty buttons and the mini Rawhide Chews.

We then sat on the sofa and sang songs and told jokes and had a laugh about the Not Not Neddies. OTL got out his 'sipping whisky' and the short bread that Jacqui sent him.

We even had OTL singing a song about The Calico Printers Daughter, which he said was famous, or was it infamous!

By the time we went to bed (very late) all the shortbread had gone as had most of the nibbles, but the Sipping Whisky was still safe in the decanter, well half of it anyway!

We all had big bellies and fell asleep in no time. Needless to say, we over slept this morning!

After a run around The Fields, OTL gave us both a brush, to make us look good for when TM comes back, and we retired to our day bed for a snooze after breakfast.

Breakfast was Doggy Food again, we were not too happy about that and only had a nibble. Just enough to stop our tummies rumbling!

Our Lunch Time walk was an 'Adventure' all in it's self. We went for a walk along he Sea Defence Wall and on the beach, 'cos the tide was out, I mean right out. Well I was going along enjoying the sniffs when, all of a sudden, and without any warning, I stepped into a big soft, wet, mucky, muddy patch, right up to my knees!

Mucky Paws!
 It was all smelly and squishy and it stuck to my fur as well and got in-between my claws.

OTL called me a mucky puppy and that I was going to get a foot bath when we got home. So, I thought, might as well make the most of this!

A little bit later as we had turned inland to go home, I found this enormous pile of super smelly poo.

Yep, that's right, I had a little roll in it. It was so good, I went back for another roll!

OTL had wandered off in front so he could not see what I was doing, so, I had another roll!

By now, Holly had arrived on the scene, she thought it was a good sniff as well, so she had a roll in it, then just like me, she had another roll!

We did not go near OTL even though he was calling us, we chased each other around all over the place.

Finally we had to go to OTL to have out leads put on so we could get through the car park and back to the car.

He was not a happy OTL, he called us 'disgusting' and 'smelly' and 'A right pair of Pongo's'

We sort of knew we were in for a bath when we got back, 'cos all the way home we were tied to the loops in the back of the car and we weren't allowed on the seats!

Yep, we were washed, rinsed, dried and sent to the naughty corner, (our day bed).

We stayed there and had an afternoon snooze until TM came back.

Oh, were we pleased to see her, we licked her and jumped up for a cuddle for at least five minutes, then we ran around in circles in the front room woofing all over the place!

As a present, TM gave us a carrot each, Holly is really into carrots and was absolutly delighted, me, I can take them or leave them but I did have a chew to show my appreciation!

An super end to a super day!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv

Daisy & Holly
