Oh We do like to be beside the Seaside!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again.

We were up really early today, around three thirty, you see I wanted a wee and so did Holly, so we did our 'We want a Wee' woof and Old Two Legs let us into the garden.

That meant we were late in getting up and The Missus had to wake us up for our morning walk!

After some breakfast, we set off in the car to the sea side!

It was super, the sun was shining and not a cloud in the sky. Before too long Holly and I were jumping up and down in the car 'cos we could see the sea. What was even better, we could see loads of sand as well!

OTL parked the car and got our lead on and walked us over the the Pay & Display machine to buy a parking ticket. Now normally this makes OTL very angry, he mumbles and curses and says rude words as he puts money in the machine but this time, the machine just threw his money back at him!

A little investigation showed that the machine was broken!

We had a wander around the car park but could not find another machine!

OTL was a happy little Two Legs, 

FREE PARKING!

That was it, TM was out of the car and we locked it up and went down to the beach.

OTL pointed out a notice that said doggies were not allowed on the beach until after the thirtieth of September, we that was OK, it's the second of October

Yahooooo!

Off we went and in no time at all we were in the sea, well splashing in the puddles, Holly even found one of her own!

Holly in her own Puddle!
Then we both rushed out to the sea, it was wet, salty and warm! Even Holly had a deep paddle! I didn't go swimming 'cos you would need to go out much further and we didn't want OTL to worry!

Having a Deep Paddle!
We were running and jumping and chasing the ball all over the place, along the sand and over the sea weed!

You know, we even got TM to come in for a paddle but she said that it was too shallow for her to have a swim!

TM Having a Paddle with us!
We met up with a number of other dogs enjoying a run on the sand or swimming in the sea, one was called Jasper and he is just like our Dad, a Bichon Frise and Maltese Terrier cross. We had great time chasing each other and when it got too hot and sticky, we just collapsed into a deep puddle!

Hang on, Jasper's too hot!
After while we said good bye and headed off to the car park for a drink and a dry off.

OTL gave TM some money and whispered in her ear and off she went with a big grin on her face. We weren't too sure what they were up to, until TM came back with three ice cream cones piled high with ice cream, you know, the soft creamy stuff!

Well Holly an me set to licking one like it was going out of date, OTL and TM were doing the same with theirs.

It was LOVELY!

In the past it has just been OTL and me licking the ice cream, he would lick one side and I would lick the other!

But this time Holly and me had one of our own!

We headed home and both of us slept most of the way back. When we got back in we had another snooze before dinner and one after!

So tonight we are going to bed, both very happy puppies and worn out!


And now, by popular demand, at enormous expense and violation of the copyright wot belongs to Old Two Legs, here is.........................

New Walks and a clean camera!

Hello Woofers!

D&H back again on a absolutely super sunny day here in North Kent.

A big 'Welcome Back' to Max who has been away on holiday for a week in his new caravan, bet you had a super time and the weather was sunny all week long, you lucky puppy!

We had a lazy start to today, we went upstairs and said 'Good Morning' to Old Two Legs and The Missus, then fell asleep on the bed until OTL was ready to take us out for our morning walk!

TM had gone out early to do some shopping and we didn't even know!

TM brought OTL a present of a book called North Kent Walks, some of the walks we know already but there are a few we don't know, so OTL, being all adventurous and action man, had a look and decided we should go on the walk called Oldbury Hill Revival. He told us that it was an old Hill Fort used for protection against the Romans but in the end the Romans over ran it and it was abandoned.

Holly says she wants to be a Roman Puppy!

So, after an early lunch, off we set. I wanted to be an Ancient Briton collecting taxes on anyone who walked on the land and Holly said she was a Roman Puppy collecting a Bone Tax from all the Ancient Britons!

OTL said he should have been a Palaeolithic Hunter 'cos they were there first and didn't pay taxes to anyone, which is just as well 'cos he hates paying taxes especially to the Inland Revenue and the VAT man and Car Park Attendants!

We got a little way down the road when Holly and me decided it was going to be too hot to walk three miles around the walk, so, when we got near to The Farm we asked OTL if we can go there instead and leave Oldbury Hill for another day.

Good old OTL, he didn't mind and we piled out of the car and ran down the chalk path.

Staying in the shade!
OTL stayed in the shade and so did we, it was really hot in the sun. As we climbed the hill I could smell squirrel and ran ahead of Holly and OTL.

I Smell Squirrel!
There on the ground in front of me was a Squirrel! A honking big Grey Squirrel burying his nuts for Christmas. Well, I was down the hill, going at mach three and a bit, the squirrel looked up and just leapt into the air and grabbed a branch and was into the tree in no time, just too fast for me!

It sat there chattering away and making rude comments about me and doggies in general!

Doggy Hating Squirrel in the Tree!
I told him, 'Just wait, I'll be Back'!

Holly was having a sniff on the ground and claimed that some of the buried nuts smelt just like chicken!

Walkers ahead!
Off in the distance we saw a big group of walkers striding along the path we had planned to go on, so we changed our route and took a left hand turn up the hill.

Any way, they were singing marching songs, so Holly and I me started singing our own songs, but they were too fast or OTL to keep up, so we had to keep stopping and waiting for him to catch up!

When we got back to the car we crashed out on the seat and after had a well earned drink from our travelling bowl that OTL had filled with cold water before we left home. He had also hid it away from the sun, so it was still cool when we got back into the car!

On the way back, Holly and I stuck our heads out of the widow and woofed at all the people on the path.

It was good having the wind blow through our fur and cool our noses!

We spent the evening snoozing and fighting and mugging OTL for some of his dinner!

Tomorrow we are planning to go down to the coast with OTL & TM, maybe have a splash in the sea as well!

Bye bye for now and see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Hey, it's Friday!

Hi all you Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again.

Another super hot sunny day!

Old Two Legs took us out first thing this morning and we decided to go to The Football Field 'cos it was closer than the fields where we normally walk and Holly wanted a wee urgently!

OTL took his camera with him, the film one, and was waiting for the sun to shine through the trees and show all the sunbeams through the mist, trouble was, there was very little mist this morning, so OTL didn't get his sunbeams!

Maybe tomorrow, if there is enough mist?

We had to stay with The Missus today because OTL had to go out. It was a bit sad sitting there waiting for him to come back but TM said we could go to the Sea Wall for a walk if we stopped whining  for OTL!

Well that shut us up in double quick time and before long were were on our way.

As soon as we were out of the car we flew around the corner to catch the rabbits off guard, but all we found was a note pinned to the burrow which read 'Gone out for the day'

So we had to play ball with TM along the sea wall.

As the tide was in we had a little paddle and a lick of the water, but it was too salty for us!

We had been running around, so, it was good that TM had brought our drinking bowl with us, full of new water, we needed that drink!

When we got back we both collapsed onto the sofa and had a good afternoon snooze until OTL came back.

He tried to sneak in the front door without us knowing, fat chance, we were all over him as soon as he opened the door, a good woofing hello and a big wet licking from both of us!

It's chicken tonight and it is a toss up if we eat that first or mug OTL for some of his gammon.

Decisions, decisions!

We had a relaxing evening, I managed to mug OTL for some shortbread and Holly spent some time sorting her chew out!

We watched a Harry Potter film this evening and now that I have made some notes, I'm going to try a few spells on the rabbits and Hissin Chrissy!

I have to find a wand first but I think there was a feather in the garden I could use. It's not a dragons quill, more a pigeons tail feather but it should still do the job!

I'll let you know what happens!

Bye bye for now,

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

TM is Back!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you on a super sunny day!
We had some fun last night, what with all the singing and joke telling we stayed up too late and over slept this morning.

Normally we wake up around five and go for a wee and a walk around the garden before rushing up stairs to Old Two Legs bed, give him a 'good morning' lick then curl up for our 'after get up snooze'.
Not this morning, we didn't wake up until six thirty and only then because OTL woke us up!

We had a run across the fields and also a run in the football field, just to wash the soil off out legs by running on the wet grass!
When we got back home The Missus was there! We gave her a good 'welcome home' lick and a cuddle, then got a rub down with the towel 'cos we were still wet and soggy!

After a brush we got our breakfast, chicken and biscuits, our favourite, followed by a super snooze on OTL's office!

OTL has told us he will be going away soon on a course to do with his photography, in preparation, he has got to get his camera insides cleaned by an expert cleaner. So today we have been down to see him and take OTL's cameras to him. That means we only have the 35mm film camera, so there are no pictures today!

After doing all our delivery jobs we went for a walk down by The Lakes, which was good fun, especially when after paddling in the lake and getting all wet and damp, we crept up behind a couple of Two Legs who were laying down in the sun. They had their eyes closed, we know that 'cos when we stopped to have a sniff, water dropped down from our chins onto their tummy's, I've never seen a TL jump so high or scream so loud, we reckon she was asleep!

We just woofed and ran off!

The rest of the day was spent snoozing at home and moving in and out of the garden to the coolest place we could find!

With any luck we might go down to the seaside tomorrow, if OTL is not too busy!

Bye bye for now and see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A day on our own with OTL

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again!

It has been a funny old day today, The Missus got a call early this morning and announced that she was going over to The Boys house for a couple of days. Seems like Thomas has got himself a cough and cold and is not feeling very well. So, she is going over there to look after him until he feels better.

That means we are on our own with Old Two Legs!

We had our morning walk and a game with the ball, even if Holly spent most of the time sitting on her bottom!

Then we came home, had a nibble and went up to the office where OTL was trying some macro photography.

Macro means small, just in case you were wondering!

He spent some time trying to photograph a seed that he had picked off our coat while he was brushing us. Now, this seed had grown hooks so it could hang onto any animal that passed by who was hairy, like us and rabbits or foxes or even Badgers!

These hooks would hold the seed for a while until it dropped off later on, clever little seed or wot?


Strange Seed with Hooks!


If I told you that the whole seed, including all the hooks was no bigger than four millimetre diameter, you will see just how close he has got!



Well, we were very interested in what he was doing, especially as he had pinched our tennis ball to mount the seed onto!


Oh, the excitement!
 A bit later on we went out again to the Sea Wall and Holly had a good woof at a kite that was being flown by a Two Legs and he was making it swoop and climb all over the sky!

Back home for a nibble and a snooze, then off to the Riverside Park.

We met a few dogs and said hello to some children who wanted to stroke us.

Then we investigated the Pirates Cave, but there was no one at home.


Pirate Cave
The other thing we did was to find an old green ball, have a game and loose it in the mud!




I found and lost a green ball!

Tonight we're going to stay up late and have a good sing song 'cos TM is not here to tell us off!

We know how to live it up when TM's not here!

Bye bye for now and see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Flying Holly!

Hello Woofers!

D&H Back again.

It has been a wonderful sunny day today, it has been almost too hot to run around, but not quite!

This morning we went for a walk with The Missus around the fields and up near the golf course. We were doing well, finding new sniffs and hunting foxes through the brambles.

All of a sudden, Holly stops and starts to grumble, you know, that deep down grumble reserved for things we don't like and are willing to do something about. I looked to where she was looking and was about to join in the grumble when I worked out what she was grumbling about.

It was the most enormous Rottweiler I have ever seen, he was GIGANTIC, I mean he was the size of a horse and he was coming our way with a purposeful look in his eye.

You could see his eye and it almost said 'Breakfast'!

I said to Holly, 'Are you Serious?'

Yes said Holly, I reckon we can take him!

You must be mad I said and if we get out of this alive, your going to the opticians first thing!

TM was a little worried as well and was calling us back to her in a sort of 'stage whisper' that you could hear a mile away!

Well, lucky for him, his master caught up with him and put him on a lead and walked off in a different direction, Holly may say 'Lucky for Him' I thought it was more like Lucky For Us!

That was something to tell Old Two Legs when we got back and he said we were brave little puppies but we should be careful who we have a grumble at in future!

Lunch time came and we went down to the Sea Wall again and went hunting rabbits as normal and as normal, we couldn't find any!

So, walking along the wall, we saw a Boxer type of dog on a lead coming towards us. Holly did it again, 'I reckon we can take him' she said and with that she went into the grumbly mode and headed towards the dog

Now, I couldn't let her take him on alone so I went off with her and we trotted towards him, crouched down and grumbling like we meant it!

As we got closer, he got bigger and I got more worried, I had to think fast, what could I do?

Well I did the only thing I could think of, I gave Holly a shove and knocked her off the wall and onto the beach and while the other dog was looking at Holly, I rushed past him and woofed so he didn't know who to chase!

Another lucky escape!

OTL didn't help, he was laughing at Holly falling off the wall and onto the beach!

I think I deserve my chicken dinner tonight for getting my sister out of deep poo!

And talking of that, TM has just called us for dinner!

Bye bye for now and see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Relaxing Monday!

Hi all you Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you after a hectic weekend.

We're glad it's Monday, at least we will get a rest today!

Old Two Legs was in the office first thing working away and The Missus got up early to take us out to the Sea Wall for our early morning walk. We like the Sea Wall 'cos there's always a chance we will bump into a rabbit or two!

TM was being a bit sneaky this morning. Normally when we're out with OTL he calls or whistles for us to follow or come out of the bushes, but TM normally just calls. Both of which we totally ignore if we have a good sniff or there's a rabbit about.

Not today, first of all TM had the Dog Whistle, nasty little thing it is, the sound goes right through you!

Well, when she blew it this morning and we ran to her, she gave us a bit of ham she had in a bag. Nice one!

Then next time she blew it, Holly looks up and sees TM waving the bag of ham. She was of to TM like a Puppy Powered Rocket, well, you know what Holly's like for food. For the rest of the walk Holly stayed close to TM, just in case TM got the bag out again!

Sneaky or wot!

Back home for breakfast and a snooze in the office.

That was until lunch time, OTL had some deliveries to make, so off we went so that we can guard the car while he is out delivering!

Of course, being a hot day what with all this sunshine and warm wind, we made a bit of a fuss and pretty soon OTL got the message, The New Park and The Swimming Hole!

We didn't go straight to the water 'cos we could see there were some big Labrador type dogs there woofing and making loads of waves by jumping in the water and chasing balls.

We went for a good walk first and met up with a few of the lads and chased the ball around for a bit.

Yo Man!
OTL had brought the hard rubber ball, it's a bit smaller than the tennis ball and it is easier to grab hold of with my mouth.

Chasing the ball and working up a thirst!
Holly and me chased that ball all over the place and in the end were getting a bit hot and thirsty, when we arrived at the Swimming Hole, there was no one there!

Great! I jumped in straight away and Holly had a paddle, up to her tummy, 'cos she is not into this swimming stuff yet!

Holly having a Paddle!

OTL did his bit by throwing the ball just out of my depth so I had to try swimming after it. I'm not really that confident yet but I had a go and managed to grab the all once!

Me doing the Doggy Paddle!
We had some fun running in and out of the water but Holly reckoned that it was getting cold so we decided to have a run back to the car to help dry off!

We mugged OTL for some of his Pork Pie at dinner!

It was a good lazy sort of day ending in a good swim for me.

We are wondering what OTL has got in mind for tomorrow, maybe a trip down to the sea side for a run on the sand?

Claws crossed!

Bye bye for now, see you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Super Sunday!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again.

This morning The Missus was up really early, it was terrible trying to have a snooze when she is walking up and down the stairs, switching lights on and off and making such a noise!

The reason? She and her mates were off to Ally Pally for big spend up at a card making show. She just loves these shows and always come back with 'Bargains' that she just must have!

We on the other hand had a long snoozy Sunday morning with Old Two Legs who was in need of as much sleep as us, especially after yesterdays run around The Marshes!

When we finally got up, he took us for a walk down The Sea Wall which was great 'cos the tide was in and the sun was shining and there were other dogs out on their Sunday Morning Walk.

We didn't see any rabbits, which was good because we wanted to get back for the chicken breakfast we knew OTL was going to give us!

No Rabbits here!
 After breakfast there was the tidying up to do and the beds to make and the toys to clear up, what a busy morning. Soon it was time to sit down and watch the F1 racing, except that Holly decided she wanted to go for a walk! A quick run around the football field made her happy and also got us back before the race started proper!

Good old Jenson managed to come in second and if there were a few more laps we reckoned he could have got first position!

After that we wanted to have a race around the house but OTL said that if we were going to do that then we had to go down the New Park!

He didn't have to ask twice!

It was very crowded when we got there with loads of other doggies all racing about and chasing balls and woofing.

We got out of our car and the first thing we saw was the Not Not Neddies we woofed a hello to them but as normal all we got was a whistle and a stamp of their foot!

It's a Not Not Neddy!
Holly met up with a ball of fluff that was also called Holly and they exchanged sniffs before parting company. Holly wanted to know how she kept her fur so white, Baths, said the other Holly!

Yuk! Says our Holly!

Holly meets Holly!

We had a game of 'Chase the Ball' and also met up with a couple of youngsters who just wanted to cuddle OTL!

Let's have a game!
We went over the fields they call The Orchard which is a long walk, about two and a half miles OTL reckons, and we saw a helicopter go over us. Well, we waved and woofed but they didn't wave back and we reckon that they must be Not Nots 'cos that's what they would do!

Helicopter
While we were looking up at the helicopter there was a rushing sound and all of a sudden this Two Legs came speeding past us on a thing OTL called a Bicycle.

It was a little scary, I mean, they are supposed to enjoy being out in the fresh air getting exercise, but the noise she made was terrible!

A Speeding Monster!
OLT says it was 'Two Wheeled Torture', it certainly sounded like it!

When we arrived back home there was The Missus waiting for us when we got in. She said she had a super day and came back with loads of card making stuff that she will put away in her workshop and spend time tiding up every six moths or so, as normal!

We are off to bed now 'cos we are tired little puppies and we need our sleep!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holy

An Adventure and Sore Legs!

Hello All You Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again.

What a day we've had! We started off by The Missus taking us for a walk around the Football Field and having a good game of 'Chase The Ball' or as Holly says, 'You chase it if you want, I'll just watch'!

She has decided that she is really too sophisticated to go chasing after rubber balls and that sort of thing should be left to other dogs!

I said that she was just a lazy little puppy who was too fat to get off her bottom!

When we got back home for breakfast (chicken and biscuits), Old Two Legs was packing all his camera gear together and taking it to the car. This looked like our Adventure was about to start, Canterbury here we come!

We got all his gear in then our water bowl and nibbles and some dry biscuits in a bowl, (just for the ride) and off we went!

First stop was the Doggy Shop, OTL left us in the car and rushed in and in a few moments, rushed back out again carrying a plastic goody bag! Yep, as soon as he got in the car we could smell it, Chicken Fillets and our favourite Chew, Chicken and Rice!

While we were having a poke around in the bag, just in case there were any bags with holes in them, OTL was driving towards Canterbury.

Before long we had arrived and it was so good to be back again that we insisted OTL took us for a quick wander around the trees for a sniff and a wee before getting all his gear out!

Pretty soon we were all ready for the start and with OTL in tow, the first stop was the Water Hide. We call it the Water Hide 'cos it has got loads of water in front of it! Before we had seen Herons and Egrets and Fish from here but today there was very little to see, just a snoozy duck who was keeping one eye on us!

Snoozy 'ole Ducky Thing
We waited for a bit and while we were waiting another Two Legs arrived with his camera then him and OTL started having a boring chat about F Stops and Focal Lengths and ISO's, I mean BORING or wot!

That was it, we started to have our play fight all over the hide, making loads of snuffling noises and woofing as well. Well, OTL packed us up and soon we were on the path again!

OTL showed us a tree with a Green Woodpecker that had died and was hanging out of the hole where the nest had been. It was a sorry sight but these things happen, it could be many reasons why it was dead, but it was still a shame.

One that didn't make it!
We went from hide to hide and we walked and ran and played and chased each other alongside the river bank, it was just so good to have a really long run. In fact we were running and woofing and having so much fun that we both were worn out, we were so worn out that OTL first had to carry me on his shoulder for a while until I felt better and when he put me down, Holly asked to be carried 'cos she said her legs were sore!

Good old OTL, he carried us and all his camera stuff and the food and the water. Well, it wasn't too long before OTL said that he was getting tired as well so we stopped by a hide that was shut, but it did have some tables and chairs outside. So we stayed there and had some lunch, real chicken bits TM had packed for us together with some biscuits and water and then we ate a half pack of Chicken Fillets OTL had got at the Doggy Shop!

That was a good lunch! All the time the sun was shining and OTL told us some jokes and Holly sang a song. So by the time we had finished we felt really good and ready for another walk!

After lunch it was onto the Marsh Hide, we like this one 'cos we see geese here and Holly reckons that one day she will catch one and see if it tastes like chicken!

Today there were no geese, but we did see ducks and a Little Egret who was giving a speech on the importance of keeping your feathers clean!

Keep your feathers clean!
Most of the ducks looked like they were bored and would rather have gone to sleep!

As we were all getting bored with the speech, a Mallard suddenly jumped off the end of the platform and started an exaggerated display of having a bath to keep his feathers clean!

Keeping Clean!
Everyone had a good laugh about that, except the Egret, who flew off in a huff!

After we left that hide it was another long walk back and this time Holly asked for another lift.

The way she does it is to stop in front of OTL and lift her front paw up, that way OTL puts his hand under her tummy and lifts her up onto his shoulder where she sits on his back pack and rests up against his head.

Me, I've got a more direct approach, I run up behind him and give him a good shove with my front paws onto the back of one of his legs, then rush around the front and jump up at him.

He then catches me and puts me up on his shoulder!

We love OTL when he does that!

When we got back home this evening, we had a snack and then a long sleep, so did OTL, we were all snoozing and getting over the long day.

We really enjoyed our Adventure and tomorrow there is the F1 racing! Wow! What a weekend!

I'm off to bed now as my eye lids are drooping.

Have a good holiday Max and let's see the pictures when you get back. Oh, and another thing, watch out for the Ticks, nasty little spider things that get caught up in your coat and nibble your skin, OTL brushes us twice a day just to check us all over for Ticks. He says that anywhere there are sheep or deer there are ticks!

It's a good job we don't have sheep or deer down here!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

It's Friday!

Hello Woofers!

D&H back with you!

Yesterday I forgot to tell you all about Holly's chew didn't I?

Well, you know that Holly has got this thing about her chew, she just loves the Jumbone Chew you can get in any doggy type shop. She was having a good old gnaw on it yesterday morning and decided that it needed a little tenderising and a little taste of herbs, so, knowing just what to do, she went down stairs with it and woofed at The Missus to let her out in the garden. As soon as the door was opened, she rushed back into the house, grabbed her chew from behind the sofa and dashed to the rockery. Planted in the rockery are a load of bird feeders and one is always full of Niger seed for the Goldfinches. Being that the Goldfinches are messy feeders, most of the Niger seed lands on the rockery, so there is this big thick carpet of Niger seed covering the ground. Holly digs a hole in the seed, buries her chew in there and carefully covers it over again, with Niger seed.

TM was watching Holly all the while and in the evening when Holly fancies a chew, she goes to dig it up again, but TM is watching and says that there is no way that smelly seed covered chew is coming into the house! So she takes it from Holly, brushes off the seed and hands it back to a totally disgusted Holly who just fancies a Niger seed covered chew. It must be a first, a Two Legs brushing off a buried chew before giving it to the dog! Ha!

This morning we were sleepy puppies, TM got up at ten past five, claiming that Holly's snoring woke her up. That's nothing! We have to listen to TM snoring in the night and that is a terrible sound, it certainly scares Holly and me!

We were still in bed when Old Two Legs was ready to take us out over the fields!

This morning TM went out to the Two Legs Parlour to have her hair cut, when she came back Holly and OTL and me had to stand there and say Ooo, Ahh, Wonderful and Super!

That out of the way we went off to the Sea Wall for a rabbit chase and a woof at the Gulls!

We sneaked out of the car and flew around the corner but we didn't see any rabbits. So, we scouted along the Sea Wall and I was sure I could smell rabbits, even if I couldn't see them.

I smell Rabbits!
We decided to leave them but maybe catch them on the way back!

A bit further along we saw a fisherman out in the mud digging holes all over the place. Holly woofed to him and asked what he was doing, 'Looking for Worms' he called back. That's funny said Holly, does that mean the worms are thrown out and then when the tide goes out, they go and collect them again?

Looking for his Worms!
As we turned to go back to the car we started planning how to get up close to the rabbits. Holly says we should rush them but I had another idea!

This time we will be super sneaky, what we will do is to creep up on them, through the grass, tummy and nose just above the grass roots.Holly says that's a good idea 'cos it will enable us to put into our SAS Training, (Small Animal Service)!

We got close and went into 'Sneaky' mode, Holly kept right down while I moved forward to set up a FOP (Forward Observation Post), then Holly sneaked up once I was in position.

Forward Observation Post
Holly was good at creeping through the grass, except that her backside and tail were poking up a bit!

She crept past me and signalled with her tail that she could see or smell rabbits ahead!

Rabbits Ahead, get ready, get ready!
 All of a sudden it was Go, Go Go!

We raced across the open ground, Holly doing her war cry, I woofed my Rabbit Charging Woof and we were down into the Rabbit Hollow like a pair of greasy weasels!

Go Go GO!
Trouble was, the rabbits had just enough time to disappear down the rabbit holes before we got there, Holly and me tried to dig our way into the holes but soon gave up the effort 'cos we could hear the rabbits laughing and calling us rude names!

Don't worry, there will be a next time!

Be Warned!

We'll Be Back!

We had to go to the Vet this afternoon to collect our Worming Tablets, when we got there the first thing OTL does is put us on the weighing machine. I was 7Kg but Holly weighed in at a whopping great 8.6Kg!

No more nibbles for her!

We got back home and we asked to go into the garden, so TM opened the back door and we went into the garden only to stop in front of a young Goldfinch that had tried to fly through the glass window, again!

Holly said it was a soppy bird, then remarked that it should taste like chicken!

OTL did his rescue thing and put it on the garden table on top of his 'High Viz' waistcoat and there it stayed until it's headache got better and it felt like flying again!

Walking Wounded!
So, there is a very busy day today, tomorrow we plan to go and do some bird watching down at Canterbury, providing we don't get distracted by other Aventures!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly ( The Porky Puppy)

P.S. Maxi Mate, Have yourself a great time in the caravan, we think it is a super way to spend a few days off. Let's see some rabbit chasing photos when you get back!
