Sunshine!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here and what a wonderful day!

The sunshine has come out in force today, even Old Two Legs took his big coat off when we went out this morning!

We found some bird watchers out looking at the gulls. OTL wandered up and asked if they had spotted anything interesting, 'Just The Usual' came the reply. Holly thought that they may have spotted a Sea Chicken, so she sat down behind them and asked if she could have a look through their telescope. Trouble was, they didn't understand her and her polite question sounded like 'Woof, woof, woof, WOOOOF?'

OTL knew exactly what she was saying and said that she should try the 'Cute' look and see if that made and difference, but it didn't, they still kept watching the birds and ignored Holly!

How's this for Cute?

In the end Holly got fed up being cute, and polite, so she woofed a raspberry at them and stalked off with her tail in the air!

Look! It's a Sea Chicken!

It was almost like summer, sun good and warm on our backs and even the sniffs seemed a bit stronger in the warm!

Back home for a snooze and some lunch and a play in the caravan. OTL put the new battery in its place and connected up all the bits of wire he had unplugged, switched it all on and tested the satellite dish. Yep! It all worked as it should and then folded down into it's parked position.

Clever old OTL!

However, not so clever OTL wanted to renew his tax disc on line and had to phone up DVLA to ask a question, so, telephone DVLA he did, first of all there was a message saying please listen carefully and choose from five options, so we chose number one, then we got transferred to another message that said please listen carefully and choose from ten options, we chose number three, then we got transferred to another department saying please listen carefully and choose from twenty options, we chose number seven and got transferred to another department saying please listen carefully and choose from fifty options. At this point OTL said something rude and decided to go down the Post Office!

That was OK, except that when he got down there, he had brought the new insurance paperwork that doesn't start until well into next month, so he has to go back tomorrow!

OTL is not a Happy Puppy!

To make him feel better we took him off to The Forest where we went hunting squirrel. We saw a few up in the trees but they wouldn't come down to the ground!

Squirrel Nutkin!

Getting near the end of our walk we came across one squirrel on the ground, unfortunately it looks like he fell off the tree trunk. There was no marks on him and we had a good sniff for any clues but he was dead. That was a shame 'cos we don't mind chasing them but don't like to see them dead.

Poor squirrel!

We told The Missus about it when she got back from baby sitting and she said it was unfortunate but things like that happen, and it's called an accident. Also if we were not careful when crossing the road we could end up like the squirrel!

Must remember that the next time OTL tells us to 'Sit' at the kerb. Look up in case we may get hit by a squirrel falling out of the tree!

Chicken tonight then a cuddle with OTL before fighting Holly for the rawhide chew!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Busy Day with nothing to show for it!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

We have had one of those days where it seems like we have been on the go all day but when we come to the evening time, there seems to be nothing to show for it all!

First of all we were up a little late, I gave Old Two Legs a 'Good Morning' lick but he went back to sleep again, so did I, well, it's not worth getting up if there is no one else getting up to play with!

We went out for our morning walk but as we got there, it started to rain, not much but it was enough to make us notice.

We got interested in some sniffs by the main steps up to the car park. OTL laughingly said that the sniffs got better 'in steps' the higher you go!

Sniffs in Steps!

Holly said that OTL was trying to be a 'Right Wag' and we both laughed but didn't tell OTL what we were laughing about!

By the time we got back to the car we were both damp and I was a little cold as well. When we got into the car, OTL turned on the warm air and Holly turned around to him and said..........

Come on OTL, lets go home for breakfast!

I agreed with her!

The rest of the morning was spent snoozing while OTL was playing about with his bits of paper in the office.

Then, when he had finished, he announced that he was going to do some work in the caravan. You see, last year, for some reason, the satellite dish would not fold flat under electric power and he had to loosen some screw to get it to lay flat so we could go home. He was not sure why it had failed and today he finally got around to doing something about it!

Off all go into the caravan, OTL with tools and electrical meters and loads of other stuff. There he was, head under the seats and in the cupboards, his bottom stuck in the air! Holly and I had war games on the bed and jumped onto OTL's back when he had his head in the cupboard. That made him jump and he banged his head with the surprise!

Finally he decided that the cause of all his problems was the battery, but he didn't have the special testing gizmo thingy to put the battery under load.

Next stop the caravan shop. Yep! Duff battery, there was OTL sobbing quietly as the man took all his money for a new battery.

So, OTL is once again, not a happy puppy! Holly and I are going to give him lots of cuddles tonight to make up for it.

That is, after we've had our chicken dinner and mugged him for some of his venison burgers!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Squirrel Hunting Season!

Yo Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly here again!

What a super sunny morning, we were out with Old Two Legs for our run along the Sea Wall and the sun was shining down on us, the birds were heading off to the cafe for breakfast!

Down The Cafe Lads

  For us it was great 'cos all the sniffs were all super new!

Expert Sniffin!

Holly found some ground sniffs that she had a good roll in, before OTL could stop her!

'After you with the sniff' said the Corvid!

The Corvid Family were out finding their breakfast! One even chased after Holly 'cos it thought Holly had found something to eat!

Mmmmmm.......Breakfast!

We met up with a couple of old Labrador dogs who started to tell us tales of what the Sea Wall was like when they were puppies!

When I was a puppy...!

After lunch, OTL had some deliveries to make, so we piled into the car and soon ended up at The Forest!

It was beginning to cloud over but we could still smell the squirrels and the rabbits. We spotted a couple of squirrels and were off like a streak of lightening, well, I was, Holly got distracted by a sniff and when she looked up, I was gone!

OTL was photographing some Snowdrops and he was doing it without his tripod, so not the panoramic shot, more of a dreamy close up!

Early Snowdrop

Anyway, by the time he looked up, I was good and gone.

We sort of lost contact for about fifteen minutes, I could hear him calling and whistling but there was a wire fence preventing me from getting to where he was.

The only thing I could do was to go back to the path where we normally go and hope to meet up with him. In the end, we met up, I saw him and Holly coming down the path so all was well in the end!

Holly and I started squirrel hunting around some of the big trees, Holly doing the spotting and me doing the chasing!

Getting ready for The Chase!

It was great fun and we got close to the squirrels a couple of times but they always climbed up the tree to get away and no matter how good Holly is at climbing, the squirrel was better!

If you think I'm going up there.......think again!

So back home where we found that The Missus had killed the electric cooker, well, it was around twenty years old, so OTL had to get his money out from under the bed and order another one!

We do hate to see him so upset, it's the same when he takes us to the vet, he always ends up crying when he has to spend some money!

So, tonight TM is cooking over a candle, so she says, and our dinner will be a little longer cooking than normal. OTL says that there will be more chance of getting a non burnt dinner 'cos she will have more chance of catching it before it bursts into flames!

We think OTL is pushing his luck!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Monday Fun Day!

Yo Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again.

We have been good girls today, only woke Old Two Legs up at five this morning. We didn't want anything other than to say 'Good Morning' and give him a lick and a cuddle!

Our run along the Sea Wall was quick 'cos he had telephoned the Two Legs Vet to get an appointment to see about his ear and was given the one hour slot! So, a quick run along the wall and back in time, just!

He was in such a rush to get back that he didn't even take his camera!

Back he came with some pills to take and something to squirt into his ear.You know he didn't even get an injection! Which we thought that was a bit much, I mean, every time he takes us we end up with a needle stuck into us!

Maybe the pills he got were Worming Tablets, they sure are big enough!

Just before lunch time a man came banging on the door so OTL had to go out and fix his radio which was a bit of a cheek, well, we were just about to go out for our lunch time stroll!

It didn't take OTL long and soon we were down on the Sea Wall checking out the sniffs and looking for rabbits.

A Rabbits Been Here!

Holly went onto the beach and found another bunch of old egg sacks to throw up in the air, she is getting a right show off with them!

Just Like That!

Just for a change, we had a race along the sea front and onto the beach, then we dug a quick hole and ran off again!

Catch me if you Can!

 We went all the way along the beach up to the place where the water comes out of the power station. Holly got up on top of the wall and was posing for OTL. She wiggled her tail and asked ' Does my Tail Look Big From There?'  Before OTL could say anything I called out that it was not her tail that looked big, it was her Butt!

Does my tail look big from there?

...........and that's when the fight started, again!

Having a rest between rounds!

Well, in the end we got back home and OTL told us both off for fighting but we didn't take much notice 'cos we can both run faster than him!

Tonight we have freshly cooked chicken for dinner and also we have been given a Roasted Pigs Ear!

Now they taste absolutely super even if they look terrible! Holly and I both love them and we get in our beds and chew away until they are gone. Of course, the first one top finish then goes into the other bed, just to see if she can help her sister out.

That normally end in 'Big Grumbles' as a warning to Woof Off!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Sunny Sunday By The Sea Side!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again and a 'Big Woofin Hello' to Marilyn who has joined our select band yesterday!

What a sunny day it is down here in North Kent. A bit of a breeze but good and fresh!

Being Sunday, we all got up late, The Missus was up at six 'cos she had got some 'Inspiration' for a card. (We are going to get her an appointment with the 'Two Legs Vet', just to get her checked out!)

Old Two Legs had another disturbed night with his ear, so he over slept and us, well we just love an early morning snoozett after waking up. A cuddle with OTL and a stretch full length across TM's pillow!

When we got down to the Sea Wall there were a crowd of people there in yellow coat things, all standing around talking, so, us being us, we went over to have a listen. They were the 'Litter Picking Squad', the same thing that TM and Auntie Sheila are active in doing down in our village, but this squad had a tractor to collect the plastic bags!

The Litter Squad and Tractor!

We left them to it and went off sniffin the sniffs and doing what we do best...........sniffin!

OTL tried to get a picture of the waves crashing against the sea wall and the sun reflecting in the water splash but the sun was behind the splash and creeping up behind OTL, so he got wet as well!

It's Behind You!

Holly found a stick, a big one you can get your jaws around, so she waved it at me, just to show off! Well, I wasn't having any of that and I chased her along the grass path and got it away from her, then she got it from me and then I got it from her and then we both had it and were running as fast as the other one would allow!

Great fun!

Mine!!!!!!!!!

We said 'Hello' again to the Westie that was helping the litter pickers, he said he was on 'Sniff Duty' telling them where the rubbish was hidden under the bushes!

Back home for a brush and a late breakfast, then a snooze in OTL's office, in our 'Day Beds'

This is Sunday as it should be spent!

After lunch we were down there again, so were lots of other dogs and Two Legs, all walking and enjoying the sun.

There was one Two Leg who was trying to look just like a Sea Gull perched on top of a wave breaker!

Just Flap Your Arms!

Yes, we thought it was a bit daft as well!

Holly found some more old egg sacks and was throwing it up into the air, doing her 'Party Trick'!

OK, now it's on me 'ead!

That was until I pinched it and .....................That's When The Fight Started!

...........and that's when

OTL spotted a couple of Crows, the same ones that are always down here, trying to break open a Whelk Shell. They would have a peck of it, trying to get in the front bit, then they flew up in the air, dropped the shell onto the concrete and came down to see if it was smashed, the shell, not the concrete!

My Tea!

Up we Go!

Finally they succeed and enjoyed a Sunday afternoon tea of whelk and sand!

Tastes Good!

Back home to a Chicken Dinner followed by a snooze and a cuddle with OTL.

A 'Perfect Sunday'!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Lilly Tells a Story

Hello Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy & Holly.

Happy Saturn's Day to you all even though it has been a bit colder than the last few days!

We were out good and early this morning for a run 'cos Old Two Legs has got a sore ear and didn't get too much sleep last night!

We met up with some Black Headed Gulls who were standing on the breakwater waiting for the tide to go out. The one furthest out was complaining that the water was half way up his legs and some times it even got as far as his bottom, depending on how big the wave was!

My Knees are Cold!

 What was worse, OTL did his 'Creepy Up' thing on a batch of six gulls on another breakwater and just before he pressed the shutter, they all flew off!

Yep! Just behind OTL was Holly.................................mmmm!  Chicken!

Gull Gone!

That was it, OTL was not a happy puppy! On we strolled, sniffin at sniffs when from nowhere came a familiar sound.

It's.........MEEeeeeeeeeeee!

Yahooo Girlies' he called as he came up from the sea wall, look! I've got my ball today, Wanna Game?

We had a little game but were just not fast enough to get the ball before him. He is just too fast!

We were joined by a couple of Labrador's who were chasing balls as well, but not on ropes!

It was good fun chasing and sniffin and I got a little scared at one time because all the dogs were much bigger than me!

Just in time we were joined by Lilly, she is the Greyhound who lost her rear leg and this time we asked her what had happened?

The Balls That Way!

Well, she said, I got into an accident with one of those car things and got taken to the vet who made me go to sleep and when I woke up I was all sore and afraid. Especially when I realised that my leg was missing. What was worse, my owners never came to pick me up when I got well enough to go home. I was a sad puppy until my new owner came and paid the vets bill and took me home with him. So now I have learnt to run on three legs and I have a good time with my new owner.

We thought that was a sad story but as Lilly said it has worked out for the best 'cos she has a happy time and her new owner looks after her and she looks after him!

Holly said that we were lucky as well 'cos we had owners who looked after us as well!

The Missus has been out all day today at her card making meeting in the village hall, that's where they all get together and splash the glue pot around and sprinkle glitter all over the place!

They can be really mucky with that stuff!

So tonight we are looking forward to a cuddle and some nibbles!

Bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

It's That Dog Again!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again on Freya's Day!

OK, Freya is the Norse god of Love and Beauty and Prolific Procreation. That lets us of 'cos we got 'Done' a long time ago!

Also Freya is the leader of the Valkyries and we know about them 'cos Old Two Legs has got their tune on his mobile phone!

Enough of this rubbish, let's tell you what we have done today!

First of all we went for our morning stroll down by the Sea Wall. It was bright and even warmer than yesterday! Would you believe it, OTL even left off his warm woolly hat!

He spotted a Ringed Plover sitting on the break water, so OTL did his 'sneaky creepy crawl' along the breakwater so he could get a shot of the bird before it flew off, as they normally do!

Shall I Fly Now?

He got a bit closer but the bird decided to leave before OTL could get a good shot. He was mumbling all sorts of curses because the bird flew of, then he turned around to see Holly had followed him down the beach!

and it tastes like..............?

 That was the reason the bird had flown!

Around the corner we were both enjoying a super sniff in the grass when we heard the unmistakable sound of Barney arriving!

Yahooooooo Girlie's!

He was all full of bounce as usual. We asked how he got on with his Rabies Injection? Well, he said, it wasn't too bad, they used one of those sharp needle things and I felt a little sore for an hour or so but now there's no sign of it! (Barney's going on holiday soon)

Holly said it was good that we didn't need injections to go on our holiday to Scotland or we would be so full of holes we would leak all over the place!

Barney showed us a new trick he had learnt.

Look! I'm a Two Legs!

He reckons he has been practising it all day yesterday, when no one was looking! We said it was OK, but he should really be standing on his back legs!

Tonight we have Lambs Heart again and that's after mugging OTL for some of his Venison Burger or as he calls them 'Bambi Burger'!

We may be off to do some bird watching tomorrow if the weather is good, so claws crossed!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Thor's Day with some Sunshine!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again.

Happy Thor's Day, another of those Anglo Saxon Gods but this one runs around with a big hammer making all that thunder which scares us!

There was no thunder when we went down the Sea Wall this morning, just the noise The Boys made scaring off all the birds!

Was that Thor's Hammer or The Boys?

We found another Whelk Shell like the one we found the other day.

Looking for a Whelk Shell

There were no other dogs this morning, which is a little strange but we did see several Cats on the way, so we had a good woof at them from inside the car!

The Boys were warming up their Sword Fighting skills again!

More 'Discussions'

 Holly said she was getting fed up with all this aggression, so she sneaked up and pinched one of the swords and chewed it into small bits!

That'll sort them out!

Disarmament Talks!

We thought that was great fun and both rushed off down the hill having a good game of High Speed Chase!

Puppy at the Speed of Light!

The Boys left to go back home soon after we got back, so we wandered off to Old Two Legs office and both enjoyed a well earned snooze!

Come lunch time we were wondering where to take OTL for a bit of fresh air, Holly said that we should go back to the New Park 'cos we can go hunting the rabbits in the big field and the Swimming Hole might be unfrozen today so I can go in swimming!

I still reckoned it would be too cold!

So, we did our 'We wanna Walk' bit on OTL, he soon got the message!

In no time we were back down the New Park, not so much sun shine but a great time chasing the ball!

We met up with a few dogs we had met in the past and OTL was looking for wild life to photograph, trouble was, the wild life saw him first and disappeared in a flash!

Then he saw a Tree Pipit coming into land, it parachuted down with it's legs dangling down and landed on the grass. So OTL got down on his knee and raised the camera to take a picture, the bird turned it's head, looked the other way and flew off!

Tree Pipit being anti social!

 We bumped into a youngster we had met before and had a quick chat about sniffs we had found.

Yo Matey! How's your sniffs?

Then out of the corner of my eye I caught OTL trying to take a picture of a Reed Warbler, OTL was down on both knees and trying to hide behind a fence post! I mean, there is just too much of OTL to hide behind a tree, never mind the fence post!

Just What are you doing OTL?

We are going to have a serious word with him soon!

Back home and a short snooze later we heard OTL saying that The Missus was outside! What a welcome we gave her, loads of licks from both of us!

Tonight we are looking forward to a quiet cuddle with OTL and a load of his shortbread!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Woden's Day

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again with you!

Happy Woden's Day to you! Woden is the 'Top God' of the Angles and Saxons and also the leader of the 'Wild Hunt'. So that means he must have chased loads of squirrels 'cos they get pretty wild when you get going chasing them!

The Boys stayed over last night, so we were up early this morning. Our walk down by the Sea Wall was great, the sun was shining and there was a slight breeze that had the smell of Spring in it!

Needless to say, the most noise came from The Boys as they tried to chase us across the grass, No chance, I mean, they even run like a Pair of Fairies!

They run like a Pair of Fairies!

Then they decided to show us how to fly! I mean, experts like us, taking lessons from a pair of two legs!

Never!

Bird Poo #1

Just look, they can't even get horizontal flight, they just dropped like a lump of bird poo!

Bird Poo #2

Now come on, just who do they think they are? We can fly better than that, on just one leg!

Holly found this bit of old sponge type of stuff that Old Two Legs says is a load of old egg sacks, she showed us how to throw it up in the air and catch it again! She was dancing all over the beach with it having a great time!

Playing Catch!

On the way back to the car The Boys had another discussion on sword fighting, so Holly and I legged it 'cos you know what was going to happen...............another fight!

Another 'Discussion' in the making!

Back home to some breakfast and a snooze until lunch time. We decided it would be a good idea to stay away from deep mud and big puddles, so, off to the New Park. They have proper paths for the Two Legs and well drained grass for us dogs and the horses!

The Boys were throwing our ball so Holly and I had a great game of 'Chase'!

On the way to get our ball Holly thought that it had been snaffled by a passing dog, so she asked for it back, only to be told, 'Sminesogerroff'!

Smy Ball!

 Mistake made and Holly backed off, she's not daft my sister! So we went chasing our ball again until this enormous long legged Bichon Frise on Steroids came bounding up to us with it's eye on our ball!

OTL picked up his camera and ran off a couple of shots. The noise it made stopped Lilly (her name) in her tracks!

Hey! Wossat?

 When she had decided the camera and OTL were no danger, in she dived looking for our ball!

Gotcha Ball Girls!

She was a bit bouncy for us but we had a little chase around and finally we got our ball back!

By now The Boys were having 'discussions' again. You know they are worse than us for fighting!

A Rational Discussion!

Tonight we have got some chicken and best of all, everyone else is having chicken, so you know what that means, yep!

Open Season for mugging chicken from Everyone!

Then of course there's OTL's shortbread!

It's going to be a Busy Busy night!

Bye for now, see you on Thor's Day, but that's another story!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
