Boxing Day

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again.

We woke up this morning feeling a little tired and very full in the tummy! We had made Porky Puppies of ourselves yesterday and were making up for it this morning!

Holly was cuddling her puppy on one side and her rawhide chew on the other!

When we finally got up, Old Two Legs had been in for his shower and was getting his coat on ready for our morning walk.

We always enjoy the morning walk 'cos there is always the chance to catch a rabbit above ground if we run hard enough around the bramble bushes, but this morning it was a case of slowly amble around the corner and see nothing!

Well, we didn't mind that, I don't think we could have run if our lives depended on it!

OTL was getting all 'photographic' and took a picture of the Sea Wall which didn't turn out too bad.

Boxing Day on The Sea Wall.

Back home we had a good brush then settled down to a snooze on the sofa while The Missus did some card making with some of the presents she had been given. OTL watched some television before falling asleep as well. He had a heavy night last night as well, all that shortbread and slurping!

The midday walk was a little more lively and we met Stella who just fell in love with OTL. She came lolloping up to him and then rolled onto her back to have her tummy tickled!

What a Tart!

Holly said that she was a Tart and obviously been at the Sherry Trifle when no one was looking!

There were a couple of other doggies, but we didn't get too close to them 'cos they were on leads and they were seriously muddy!

I was enjoying a run around and at one time I am sure I was flying!

Me Flying, Super Puppy!

There I was, bragging to Holly. how well I could fly and how she could only roll along the ground when there was a fluttering near to us and a Pied Wagtail landed on the Sea Wall and said that I was only jumping and if ever I wanted a real go at flying, I had better get some wings and feathers!

Hey! Want some 'Cheep' Flying Lessons?

Show off!

Back home to another snooze before getting ready to mug OTL for some shortbread while TM finishes off today's bottle of champagne!

We hope you are all having a super Christmas, we are!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Christmas Day!

Hello Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly here again!

We were up early this morning 'cos Holly reckons she heard Santa on the roof top! So, we woofed at the noise and rushed down stairs to see what he had left for us!Trouble is, we woke Old Two Legs and The Missus up at the same time!

OTL is OK, he just sort of stumbles about crashing into things and bouncing off the walls as he goes down stairs! He always does this at three in the morning!


Well, we went down stairs and found he had left us a super big bag of goodies that we can play with or eat. We love the eating bits and I really love the toys!

Decisions, Decisions!

We also got some chews and Pink Balls from Auntie Karen (Cat People), great chews and we will have fun chasing the balls!

After about an hour of giving the chews a seeing too, we both had funny tummies, so a little relaxing snooze was called for!

I've got a funny tummy!

We helped TM to open her presents and even offered her a chew of our presents as well!

Then we stood guard at the table, just to make sure there was nothing left that we could offer our food bowl to!

No, we don't want the sprouts thank you!

After all this food, we are absolutely full to the brim and now we are off to have a snooze before going to bed, proper like!

We were going to show you a picture of us helping TM to open her presents but she said that she didn't want everyone to see her new bloomers!

Well, we didn't have our wide angle lens on the camera anyway!

We're off to bed now and taking our big chews with us, just for a nibble before going to sleep!

Bye bye for now.

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Getting Closer!

HO HO HO Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here doing our Santa impressions!

We have been out with Old Two Legs searching for Santa and with Holly acting as 'Rear Gunner', I've been up front as 'Navigator'!

Left Hand Down a Bit OTL!

All along the Sea Wall we could see across the sea to Southend and in the other direction towards Sheerness. Holly borrowed OTL's binoculars and she said she thought she saw something over on the Isle of Sheppy, but it turned out to be a flock of birds!

OTL said that Santa more than likely set off from the North Pole last night and was on his way past India, so we couldn't see him just yet!!



If you have a look on http://www.noradsanta.org/en/ you will see where he is at any moment in time!

We still kept an eye on the hills, just in case he lost his way!

Well, it looks like Santa!

When we got back home we finished off our Christmas Card and here it is, just for you!

A Merry Christmas from Daisy & Holly!

Now all we got to do is hang up our stockings, well a couple of OTL's old walking socks, then it's off to bed and try to get asleep before he comes down our chimney.

Now that's something I don't understand, we have gas heating and our chimney ends up in the heating cupboard and it's only about four inches diameter, so how does he get down there?

I will ask The Missus to explain, if she's awake of course!

Bye bye for now.

Merry Christmas!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Bold Holly & Grumbly Lucy

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

An odd sort of day today, OTL has been bashing away on his new computer and making all sorts of grumbly noises. We think that his transfer of programs from one machine to the other is not going as smoothly as he would wish and he keeps growling at the new computer!

To try to make his little world a bit calmer, we suggests he takes a break and goes for a walk with us along the Sea Wall, it has a calming effect with us, after we get back we always fall asleep!

We were walking along the sea wall when Holly noticed a doggy following us, so, being the big brave puppy she is, she turned around and gave him the old 'Hairy Eyeball'.

That stopped him in his tracks!

Then she woofed at him, a sort of 'what are you doing following us' type of woof!

You following me?

Blow me down if he didn't turn around a run back to his owner!

That was it, Holly started to swagger along saying just how big and brave she was and how she saw off that big angry dog!

I said it was her bad breath that kept him away rather than her ferocious face.

That was when the fight started!

I dropped the ball and we had a mad five minutes running about and beating each other up!

When we had finished, we went looking for the ball but couldn't find it anywhere, so that's another one gone and we didn't even get time to chew it properly!

Well, you had it last!

That was a bit disappointing losing the ball like that and I showed off a bit, I mean, I was just getting to enjoy that ball!

To take our minds off the ball, we went with Old Two Legs and The Missus to see Auntie Jane and Uncle Ian and their dog called Lucy. Now don't get me wrong, I got on with her last time we visited, she scared the pants off me!

This time it was different, the loss of my ball had not put me in a good mood and when Lucy tried to bully me again I got all grumbly myself! Lips back and show my teeth type of grumbly!

Even Holly got out of the way!

It was a good thing that we were kept apart 'cos she might have got upset with me!

Lucy!

Talking of getting upset, OTL & TM went out last night for a meal with a friend of theirs and OTL came back smelling strongly of THREE doggies!

They were doggies I had not smelt before so I'm going to keep my eye on him, can't have him playing with other dogs!


OK, off to bed now and I will leave OTL to carry on playing with his computer and grumbling every few minutes!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Rush, Rush, Rush!

Hello Woofers,

Daisy & Holly here, worn out and wanting to go to bed!

We were woken up at some terrible time this morning, just as we were getting into our wake up snooze!

The Missus was going to baby sit today and Old Two Legs was out working for a change!

So, at the crack of dawn we were dragged out of the house, thrown into the car and off we went, leaving OTL still in bed!

Lucky OTL!

We have spent all day at The Boys house, snoozing and being taken for walks in the local woods, no squirrels though!

OTL called into the house about five and took us home to a nice bowl of doggy food, YUK!

So here we are, sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for TM to come back home, not too sure what time she is due back, maybe about midnight.

We are wondering if OTL is going to stay awake!

Sorry, no photo's today, TM didn't take the camera and OTL did not need to take his either!

Tomorrow should be better, we are all at home, except for the adventures!

So, bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Boyz Gone!

Hey Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you.

First thing this morning we were out at the crack of dawn down to the Sea Wall for a run and the Boys came along as well. The tide was right in so no playing about in the mud today!

There was this old Labrador we met walking along the wall, he was glad of a rest when he met the boys and us! He said it was good to have a sit down sometimes!

Thanks Mate, I could do with a rest!

We raced each other along the wall and threw stones into the sea, well the boys did and we wondered if they wanted us to go and fetch the stones. It was a case of 'Hard Luck' 'cos the water is too cold and wet!

We met up with a New Dog on the Block, she said her name is now Bella.

Holly thought that was a bit strange and asked what's wrong with her real name, then she told us she had come from a rescue centre and had only been with her new owner a couple of weeks. She said she was having fun and learning what the Two Legs wanted he to do, you know, sit, stand, come here and all the normal stuff. She didn't remember too much about why she was in the rescue centre but it was lonely and a bit scary 'cos some of the other dogs were really upset about being there and cried a lot.

We thought that was sad and we were glad we are well out of those places.

We had a sniff all round and I said that it was great to see her and we hope to meet her again.

Nose sniffin with Bella

Holly said that was a great Christmas present for Bella, a good home and kind Two Legs to look after her!

Which is more than we've had tonight!

Old Two Legs and The Missus left us all alone tonight, out at Christmas Dinner Bash Thingy, enjoying themselves and eating wonderful food and meeting other dogs!

Were it not for that lovely Auntie Sheila coming over to let us out for a wee and give us both a cuddle, we would have been distraught and upset as well!

Still, they  have only just got in, so I suppose I had better go and make sure they are tucked up in bed properly before I put the lights out!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly 

The Sneakest Trick of all!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy and Holly back again.

Now, you know we are not  the sort of doggies that complain all the time, we normally will rub along with whatever The Missus or Old Two Legs wants, providing it doesn’t interfere too much with what we want.

So far it has worked and they are becoming well trained!

Today they tried to pull one of the sneakiest tricks known to Two Legs or Puppies!

We were given an advent calendar each and although the contents are not much to write home about, we play along with them and join in the fake surprise every morning. Even though we were getting a little fed up with the doggy biscuit that we know is going to be behind the door!

Not this morning. This morning we opened the door to find that we both had a Worming Tablet!

A WORMING TABLET!!!!

I ask you, just how sneaky can you get!

As normal, it ended up costing them loads of doggy choc drops, doggy sausages and chicken bits!

That will teach them!

First thing today we were out over the Sea Wall woofing at the Worm Man, not that he woofed back; too busy getting his boot out from the mud!

Old Sticky Boots!

The Boys came over to stay for a couple of days. It was great seeing them and Holly and I gave them a super big ‘Hello Lick’ when they came through the door.

We went out with them at lunch time and even though we told them about the mud and how they would sink into it if they walked on it, they didn’t believe us and just had to have a try!

Here, I'm Sinking!

It was a good job they got the mud off their shoes ‘cos OTL would not have let them get in the car and he would have made them walk home!

A bit later, after lunch, we all got in the car and went to see Auntie Zoe and her new House. It is always fun to see Paul and the Boys, Ethan and Finley, and this time Ethan did not grab my tail!

The pair of them are ‘Pickles’ as OTL would say but they are good fun really!

Me and My Cuz!

We were watching them having some afternoon tea and praying that they would drop some food for us to eat, but no such luck, it either went in their mouths or all around it!

Now, where are the Dogs?

We had a snoozy journey back in the car and are ready for our evening snooze, before going to bed proper!

So, bye for now!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Wet Snow and Woofers!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

We have been sort of all mixed up today. Old Two Legs took us out for our early morning stroll along the beach and this time we really did see a fox and we chased him all across the marshy bit and got soaking wet!

Unfortunately, he got away and all OTL got was an out of focus shot of his tail disappearing into the distance!

Next time Foxy!

Still, at least we know where he hangs out, so we will be after him next time!

We were wearing our warm coats and looked dead smart. OTL even took some photos of us as we were rushing about all nice and warm!

Speedy Puppies!

Lunch time we met up with some big woofers we had met before so we passed the time of day and had a sniff before going our own ways!

Hi Man!

Holly misbehaved, as the big dog was getting near she shouted 'Hi Man, How's it Hanging?'

It's a good job that he was a little deaf or she might have got a telling off!

It started to rain and we were saying that we were getting too wet, OTL said a few degrees colder and it would be snow and we wouldn't complain then!  He might be right!

The Missus and Auntie Sheila have been out all day today at the local Youth Club doing some demonstration card making and helping them to make Christmas Cards. She said that there was loads of glitter and glue splashed all over the place and even Auntie Sheila got covered in glitter as well, Seriously Sparkly!

OTL has been busy today so a lot of time has been spent catching up on our snoozing!

Tonight we have some chicken and biscuits followed by a carrot, fresh out of the fridge, one of our favourite evening chews, other than OTL's shortbread!

Bye for now, off to bed early 'cos The Boys are coming over tomorrow, so that means loads of walks and kicking the ball around!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Foxes, Great White Egret and Doggies!

Hi Woofers,

Daisy & Holly back with you on a cold and wet Sunday!

We have been down to the beach this morning with Old Two Legs, who normally is too slow to catch a cold, compared to our 4X4 puppy speed!

This morning it seemed to have worked in his favour!

We leapt from the car and ran at top speed around the brambles to catch the rabbits out of their holes. Today, there were none above ground and we thought that it was 'cos it was too cold, but no, there was a better reason!

OTL sort of fell out of the car, as normal, staggered across the grass path and spotted a fox hurrying out of the brambles we had run around! It rushed across the open grass and disappeared into the bushes on the other side!

So it looks like we scared the pudding out of this fox and we didn't even know it! As it was early'ish in the morning we had our excuse!

Too early for Foxes!

We met up with Barney, the dog who's ball we stole the other day, OTL gave the ball back and we all had a game of chase.

Yo Barney!

We were having fun, until a couple of big Labradors came bounding down the hill followed by another smaller dog of unknown parentage!

Mixing with the Big Dogs!

After a while we all got on and were chasing each other and doing some 'Hello Sniffin'!

Holly and Barney had a good game of chase and Holly had learn't how to do my 'High Speed Turn' and used it on Barney.

Barney getting out of shape!

Holly did a super turn and Barney got well tangled up with his legs! A seriously out of shape puppy!

Later when we had got home, we had a meeting and decided that we would leave the Great White Egret alone today, mainly 'cos it had not been reported as being seen and on top of that, it was raining!

So, back to bed for some serious Sunday Snoozing!

Our afternoon walk was a bit cold, although the rain had stopped, it was still windy, so, no hanging about!

Holly and I were both racing along the sea wall, and of course, OTL just had to take a picture!

Boo to Holly!

Boo to Daisy!

This evening we have had our chicken dinner and had a go at mugging OTL and The Missus for some of their dinner, as you do!

So, now to settle down for a snooze and some shortbread, if OTL gets it out!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Dragons and Squirrels

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again.

We have been with Old Two Legs all today. First thing this morning it was a run on the beach 'cos the tide was right out. It was frosty here and more than a bit cold!

In fact it was so cold that when Holly and I breathed out, we had smoke coming out of our mouths!

OTL said we looked like Dragons!

Well, that was it, we rushed around pretending we were fierce dragons chasing rabbits!

There was one moment when a young Labrador came bounding down the hill towards us and I stood up on my back legs and roared at him like a dragon would. Trouble was, he didn't know what a dragon was and he just thought I had a bad cough!

Two Little Dragons

It's a good job we were not breathing real fire or he would have had his tail set on fire!

OTL was busy working this morning and The Missus had gone out to her 'Crop Thingy'  so we had plenty of time for a super snooze!

Later, we went out to deliver and post stuff but OTL said we were going to have some fun 'cos he fancied a walk in the Forest! Great! We haven't been there for ages so we were getting all excited about that!

As soon as we were of the lead I was after the foxes and badgers and squirrels. Holly went charging into the undergrowth looking for rabbits and OTL found some Fungi!

A fine bunch of Fungi!

OTL thinks that this Fungi looks 'Pretty', nice bright colours! We told him that it smelt funny!

While OTL and Holly were messing about, I spotted a squirrel! I just stood still and watched where it was going, jumping from bough to bough and tree to tree. Trouble was, it didn't come down to earth, but I still watched him and I stood very still!

Squirrel Spotting!

Do you think he would come down? No he wouldn't, he just sat up in the tree and called me names!

Sneaky Squirrel!

Well if he won't come down, then Holly and OTL and me won't play with him!

When we got home, Holly and me had a snooze while we waited for TM to come from her 'Croppy Thingy Wottsit'!

We gave TM a big 'Welcome Home ' lick and cuddle and even managed to knock her glasses off!

A snoozy evening ahead with TM and OTL and we expect an early night 'cos we saw that the Great White Egret has been seen down at Oare Marshes, so, we may get an adventure yet!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

P.S. OTL sez that he is sorry if the colours are a bit out but he is working on the laptop but it is connected up to an old screen where the colours are all out of tune with the computer!

Excuses excuses!
