Funny Monday!

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy & Holly looking for some fun!

You know how we were brought into the house as Guard Dogs, well, last night we made an extra special job of guarding the house.

Around two thirty, Holly heard some funny noises going on next door and thinking it was Burglars, started off with her 'Warning Bark', that normally scares off any Burglars.

This time it didn't, so she starts doing her 'If I have to get out of bed to you, your in deep trouble!' Woof and Bark combination.

That didn't do any good.

So off she sets, down the stairs and up to the front window and starts a terrible woofing and howling and snarling and gnashing of her teeth!

By then I was down with her, joining in the 'Anti Burglar' alarm call.

But the noise carried on.

In one of those pauses for breath, Holly says, 'Here, I think that dustbin lid is making the Burglar Noise!'

So it was! All flapping about in the wind.

'Better not tell Old Two Legs what it was' and I agreed. So back to bed we went and informed OTL we had scared off a big gang of nasty mean looking Burglars!

The Missus was heard to say ' O Yes, we believe that!'

You know, some times I don't think we get the respect we deserve!

OTL took us down The Farm first thing 'cos he had to take his new camera in for a clean up. We ran up and down the path looking for squirrels but didn't see any at all!

I can't see any squirrels at all!
 Which was a little strange 'cos we normally see at least one!

I thought I caught the sniff of one going up the path and told Holly we were 'On The Trail' and she said she was right behind me, which she was, except when I stopped to check the sniff and she bumped into me with her nose!

She was not a Happy Puppy 'cos not long ago I'd had a poo!

I'm right behind you Sis!
We had a 'Discussion' about it but OTL caught us up and told us to 'Get a move on' so we didn't start fighting, which made a change!

After the walk we went on to deliver the camera to the man who cleans them for OTL.

Back home to a good breakfast of Lamb Heart and biscuits then a snooze before our afternoon walk.

This time it was down the Sea Wall and we very nearly didn't get out of the car.

The wind was terrific! It nearly blew us  to the back of the car park!

We spotted a nut taking photo's, as Holly says, there's more nuts than OTL who are daft enough to take photos in a howling gale!

What ISO should I use?

Then OTL spotted some Ringed Plovers who were trying to feed along the shore.

Too Windy For Breakfast!

Holly was getting all excited 'cos she could smell chicken being cooked. She reckons it was coming from a KFC shop on the Southend on Sea seafront!

Mmmm! KFC BBQ Chicken!

That girls got a super sensitive nose where chicken is concerned!

We spent the afternoon snoozing in OTL's office, in our Day Beds. Then we woke up just in time to mug OTL for some of his dinner!

Now how's that for timing!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

PS. We heard that Zoe's baby can't make up it's mind on when it wants to be born, it starts and then stops and starts again and stops, well let's face it, she is in a nice warm place, who would want to come out today in this weather!

Damp Sunday

Hello Woofers!

D&H back again!

What a damp old day it has been today!

We were out early with Old Two Legs, well, about ten thirty 'cos we all over slept and just didn't fancy getting up early!

The wind was getting up and we could feel the beginning of rain starting to fall. So, off we went at a sharp trot to get back before it got too wet!

Just as we got to our normal 'turn to go back' spot, who should appear? Barney!

Yahoooo Girlies!

Hey girls, have you seen my ball?


Have you found my ball?
 We said that we had not seen it and we had kept an eye open for it. Never mind, he said, I've got hundreds more at home but that one tasted just right!

OK, Right! Must dash, it is starting to rain and I don't have my coat on and you know how I hate rain!

And with that, he was off!


Bye bye Girlies!
 We carried on the walk and found some fishermen, so Holly asked if they had seen Barney's ball but they hadn't, so we left them to pack up their gear before the rain came down!

Have you seen Barney's ball?
 Back home we got a good rub down with the towel and a brush plus some anti flea stuff. We always get 'done' in the first few days of the month. It pongs a bit but after a while you get used to the smell.

After lunch we went out for our walk again but this time it was raining seriously, so serious that Old Two Legs put our coats on, which kept the rain off our backs, but not our faces!

Out of the car, chase a couple of rabbits and a quick wee then back to the car, no hanging about when the weather is like this!

Back home to another towelling and a snooze on the sofa until dinner time, waking only to mug OTL for a cookie!

Lambs heart tonight, well that's what The Missus said, providing she doesn't burn them!

Bye bye for now.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Warm & Dry on a Sunday evening)

Not a Squirrel To Be Seen!

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy & Holly, doing what we do best!

Being Saturday, we decided to have a lie in,  until seven, instead of getting up at five thirty, as we do during the week! Old Two Legs appreciated that, you could tell by the snoring sounds he was making!

After getting OTL all showered and dressed we went out to the Sea Wall for our morning walk. Just wandering along, minding our own business, sniffin the sniffs and leaving a few of our own, when over the hill came Barney!

Yahooooooo Girlies!

Look at Meeee! I can do the Two Legs Walk!

Look! Me doing a Two Legs!
We had a bit of a chase around and he told us he had lost his ball. So we said we would keep our eyes open for it and get OTL to look after it until we see him again.

Then he turned around and shouted, 'They've left me behind!' and in a moment he was off looking for his owners, calling back 'See you Soooon Girlies!'

Oi! They've left me behind!
That was it, he was off like a rocket chasing after them!

We carried on a bit further down the Sea Wall and had a run on the beach, well, really it's just a load of crushed shells, but we call it The Beach!

When we got home, there was Auntie Karen, (The Cat Woman), she had come around for the day to splash the glue pot around and spend all day gassing with The Missus, as they do!

You know what? Just before she was about to go home, she showed us what she had made, a box thingy for some Easter Chocs!

That was it, all day, and just one paper bag to show for it!

Is that all!
 Sorry the photo is blurred but OTL was laughing so much!

TM made a load, not cards or stuff, just mess, loads of it all over the floor, glitter, bits of paper from die punches, bits of ribbon and more glitter.

You know, she even managed to over heat the vacuum cleaner when she tried to clear it all up!

For our afternoon walk we went down to The Forest, the sunshine was great and all the squirrels were hiding! OTL saw one but we didn't, not even one!

I did some hard looking but they just seemed to be hiding where I couldn't find them!

I Looked.

Me, Looking!
......and then I Sniffed!

Me, Sniffin!
Then Holly joined in, doing her Spotting Thingy!

I spy with my eye.........nothing!
OTL was wandering around with his nose in the air looking for birds but they seemed as rare as the Squirrels! That was until he spotted four Jay's chasing each other around, so, OTL stood in front of a tree and waited, and waited, and waited some more. Of course, the birds didn't come back!

Poor OTL, he has been looking for a good shot of a Jay for years and never got near enough. He took a shot but the bird was too far away and looking the other way!

OTL's Jay
Poor OTL, he does try, maybe soon he will get a decent shot soon!

Back home to a chicken dinner and a cuddle with OTL while mugging him for his shortbread. It's a hard life being a puppy!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Saying Hello To The Not Not's

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Fridays are normally 'wind down' days. You know, planning for the weekend, finishing up and little jobs you missed doing during the week, a sort of catch up and tidy up before the weekend type of day.

Normally, yes, but not today!

We started out as normal, a walk along the Sea Wall, say hello to the Oyster Catchers and the Corvid Family.

Morning Lads!
Then Old Two Legs had another bash at the sea weed 'cost being so misty, loads of water droplets were hanging like jewels from the fronds.

Sea Weed Jewels?
By the time he had finished playing with the sea weed, it was late getting back. OTL had a load of stuff to do and he was so busy that The Missus had to take us for our lunch time walk around The Fields, which wasn't so bad 'cos we haven't been around there for some time, plus there were a few new sniffs!

We got back and within five minutes we were chasing OTL down the stairs, him carrying a load of stuff to be delivered and us making sure he didn't go without us!

We spent a boring half an hour in the car waiting for him to get things sorted with his customer then pointed him in the direction of The New Park!

It was a bit late but we weren't complaining, too much!

First dog we met was a young lad of just twelve weeks on his first outing. Needless to say, OTL fell in love with him!

Eye See You!
He was a young Husky sort of dog and they normally have beautiful blue eyes but this lad had one brown eye and one blue one! We didn't mention it at all as that would be rude and give him a complex about his eyes!

We all had a sniff and he jumped around a bit before going off with his owners. OTL has removed the lead that he was attached to with the computer program. Clever old stick he is!

Guess what? The Not Nots were out in the field today!

We went over to say 'Hello', well, really we went over to poke fun at their snooty ways! It wasn't long before they started. It went something like this...........'Hello Not Nots' .......Oh, it's you two again.........'How's yer belly for fur?'..........we don't have fur, we have Wool and mind your manners or we will come and stamp our foot at you and whistle!'.........'Ooooooo, get you!'

How's yer Belly?
And so it went on, us making fun of them and them telling us off! OTL said that we should try to be friends with them 'cos you never know when that might be handy!

Holly an me stopped woofing at them and we all sort of stood giving each other the old 'Hairy Eyeball' treatment, but they weren't as good as us and they started to whistle and stamp their feet at us. As Holly says.............Oooo! Don't they look fearsome! Then we ran away pretending we were scared!

'Such Rude Little Puppy's!'
We were still laughing about it all when we got home and was going to tell TM all about it but she had gone out baby sitting, and she didn't even tell us!

Poor OTL had to cook his own dinner and make up ours as well!

Didn't taste too bad, his or ours!

So that's it really, we had a snooze and a wait for TM to get back and now off to bed!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Not friends of the Not Not's)

We've been to The Marsh!

Hi Ho Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy & Holly!

Another super sunny day here in North Kent.

We went out this morning and the sun was absolutely beating down on us. We were even getting a bit warm running about!

Old Two Legs was playing about with the camera trying to take pictures, into the sun, with no success!


This one Didn't Work!
We didn't care, there were loads of sniffs to keep us busy!

We were walking back to the car when we heard an amazing sound of birds having a punch-up, when we saw the cause of it all Holly couldn't stop laughing. It seems that a Rook was collecting twigs for the nest it was building. A pair of Magpies didn't like the idea of the Rook muscling in on their tree, so, they were telling the Rook where to go!

'Oi' You, Get Off Of My Tree!'
Well, the Rook being bigger and with a nasty looking beak didn't take any notice at all!

In fact, just to show how much she cared, she snapped a twig off the tree and waved it at the Magpies, then, just to add insult to injury, she threw the twig on the ground and stood there making a racket, 'cawing away to the Magpies!

.....and do you know what I'm going to do with this twig?

OTL decided that the afternoon was too good to waste in the office, so he hung the sign up that said he was 'away on business' and picked up the camera and us and we headed off to The Marsh!

We haven't been down there for ages so there was loads of new sniffs for us to catch up on!

A good time was had in the Bird Hides and we had a serious woof at anyone who wanted to come into the hide!

Holly spotted a very rare bird, she said it was the Two Legged Lake Chicken and that it was more than likely to have been blown off course in the high winds 'cos it's normal territory is South Africa, on the mountain tops and in fact there is a mountain where they all go to eat Chicken and it's called Table Top Mountain.

So there!

OTL said she was talking from under her tail, again!

Holly just ignored him and kept on about how to cook a Two Legged Lake Chicken!

A tasty Two Legged Lake Chicken!
Both Holly and I were running all over the place, woofing at people and dogs and birds and just woofing for the pleasure of woofing!

That was until we got covered in burs from these nasty plants, so we had to go to OTL for him to pick them all off for us.

He's good at that sort of thing!

On our way back we spent most of the time asleep in the car and after dinner, we have spent most of the time snoozing as well!

Now we are off to give OTL a cuddle and see if he's got the shortbread out of the cupboard yet!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

More Fun with OTL

Hi Woofers!

D&H here again!

What a sunny day! On the way down to the Sea Wall we saw some blooms coming out on the trees.

There was Flowering Cherry and Hawthorn or maybe Blackthorn, but it looked good!

Holly had some fun running along the wall, chasing OTL as he tried to take her photo!

Quick! Focus!
We saw the Corvid family having breakfast and one had the contents of a whelk shell in her beak!

Even Holly said she would pass on that one!

Sea Food Breakfast
 Holly said we should have our photos taken to show what super looking puppy's we are, so she just stood there and did her best 'Look at Me' pose and even curled her tail around as well!

Looking Good or Wot!
 OTL got side tracked with the Sea Weed on the tree and stopped to take a picture. So, I didn't get my 'Special' picture taken 'cos I got interested in a super sniff in the bushes!

Still, OTL got his Sea Weed photo!

Sea Weed Again!
Lunch time we were back down at the Sea Wall and we saw some strange birds. You know, they only had one leg each!

I said it was a new species, OTL said that they were resting the other leg, Holly says that they were the Lesser Spotted One Legged Sea Chicken!

One Legged Sea Chickens!
All the way back home, Holly was talking about the correct way to cook a Sea Chicken. Also which was better, roast or fried or stewed!

OTL had to work this afternoon so we stayed in and had a cuddle with The Missus, nothing too strenuous, I mean, we have got to save our strength for this evenings snooze before we go to bed!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

It's a Squirrel Day Today!

Yo Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again!

Seems like we are back to normal time at last, Old Two Legs didn't get up until seven thirty and by the time he got himself fed and washed, it was just before nine, a sensible time to take our morning constitutional!

We even had time to study those 'leaves' that the Two Legs hung the leaves on.

It was Sea Weed!

Sea Weed!
What a bunch of Plonkers!

One sniff will tell you that it's Sea Weed and not very clean Sea Weed either!

OTL played a game of Hide 'n' Seek with us, he jumped down on the beach and poked his head and camera above the Sea Wall. Now I don't know exactly what he was trying to do, but Holly and I watched him go down the steps and we saw his hat 'walking' along the Sea Wall, so it's not as if we didn't know where he was!

We played along with him 'cos you've got to keep him happy, you never know when we get an adventure!

So, here I am doing my 'Oh dear, where has my OTL gone!' sort of look that makes him go Ahh! 


Where has OTL gone?
Then when he has finished taking the picture I wag my tail and make like I am surprised!

Holly catches on fast and she did the 'Oh dear, where has my OTL gone!' and when he jumped up she pretended to be surprised and fell over on her side!

Ooo! Scary!
I'm sure OTL is not that daft, but just in case, we play along!

After lunch it was a quick trip to the carriers and then down to the Forest to hunt squirrels.

We had a great time, there were about six we saw and a load that we heard chattering away up in the trees!

Holly was doing her spotting job and I did the chasing. We even heard a woodpecker hammering away on a tree trunk, the first time this year. We wanted to go and see it but a squirrel popped it's head up at the same time.

Decisions, decisions, woodpecker or squirrel, squirrel or woodpecker?

Squirrel or Woodpecker?

There was one squirrel that was making a load of noise, but he was high in the tree and OTL took his picture using the new camera. Now he had not set up any of the menu's or stuff he has to do before using it but if you look at the picture and blow it up to full size......you can see the squirrels whiskers!


Shall I pose?
So, back home we go and you can guess what OTL has been playing with, yep, the Menus!

Tomorrow we may get a trip out so he can play some more with the camera, maybe some more hide 'n' seek if we are lucky!

Lambs Heart tonight, who needs squirrel!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Monday, Busy, Busy, Busy!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you.

What a day it has been, Old Two Legs was up early, (most unusual), we were out for our walk about an hour early, (very unusual!), I got the rats, (almost unheard off!!!)

OTL had a lot to do today, first there was deliveries he missed yesterday, then he had to drop some other stuff off and that should have been done yesterday as well! After that he had an appointment with one of his customers that couldn't wait until tomorrow!

So, hence our early walk along the Sea Wall.


We had a sniff or two but it was just not right, too early and our body clocks were not given prior notice, so everything was messed up!

Anything to get you going?
We started off with our 'together sniffs'

Then tried the 'loan sniff' but it didn't work, well not for me anyway!

Nah! Nothing for me here!


Then we joined up again and found that silly tree they planted yesterday but it had been dug up and thrown across our path!

Still reckon they look silly!
Silly leaves!


On we went and Holly said something about the way I was walking and I got upset.


That's when the fight started!

You are for it now!
Up and down the path we went, pushing and shoving and twisting each others tail and it took OTL a good five minutes to calm us down again.


I went off into the long grass as normal but I was a bit put out with this early morning and refused to go to OTL when he called.

I just sat down and looked the other way!

Off went OTL with Miss Goody Two Paws and put her in the car. I couldn't see OTL and I was getting just a little worried, so I had a walk along the path, just to see if I could see him, but he wasn't there!

I was now wondering what to do when all of a sudden he came up behind me, he had walked the other way around the bushes!

Off we went back home and by now OTL was late, so we missed out on our morning brush!

When he came back, around lunch time we went off to the rubbish tip with the old cooker in the back of the car and all the packing stuff as well.

Then when we got back home, OTL wired the cooker up to the electricity and The Missus cooked our Lambs Hearts, the first meal in the new cooker.

TM said that now she has her new cooker she can burn OTL's food evenly all over, instead of in patches as she has done for years!

Lucky OTL!

So you see, it has been a busy old day and we are only just catching up with ourselves!

Tomorrow we should see OTL's new camera arriving, so, claws crossed, we may get some pictures out of him!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Another Super Sunny Sunday

Yo Woofers!

D&H back again in glorious sun shine!

You could tell it was going to be a good day 'cos we got woken up early with the sun shining behind the curtains and waking everyone else up, except Old Two Legs who need a little attention from Holly!

Finally we got him up and down to the Sea Wall. There was sunshine all over the place and after a quick sniff around the usual places, Holly pointed out that the smoke was coming out of the wrong place at the Power Station. She told OTL to take a picture just for Trev, or 'Old Ugly', as OTL calls him!

How about this Trev, Wrong Chimney!

We met up with Barney, who didn't come bounding onto the scene as he normally does, he had been chasing around and as he says, 'I'm feeling just a little 'Puffed' girlie's!'

Just a little Puffed Girls

But it didn't stop him from having a little trot around and of course he just had to say hello to OTL!

After a while he said he had to go 'cos his owners were getting worried about where he was, you could tell that 'cos they were blowing some damned Dog Whistle they had bought!

Bye Girls, Must Fly!
  We had a laugh about that 'cos OTL has one and he keeps blowing it as well!

OTL spotted a boat chugging by and decided to take a picture just to show how calm the sea was.

Boring Picture of a Boat!
Holly was trying to show me how she can bounce the tennis ball. I just could not get the hang of it and in the end she gave up, telling me I was a 'Lost Cause', Humph! Do you think I care?

Look, Just Like This!

The funniest thing we saw today was some Two Legs, playing on the beach. Instead of building sand castles like they do normally, this pair decided to plant a tree!

Wot a Strange Tree!
Anyone knows that leaves don't look like that!

Back home for a snooze and a chew of some Pigs Ears, the best thing to do on a Sunny Sunday afternoon, you want to try it sometime!

Bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Sun Shine and OTL has to work!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you.

What a super sunny day!

It was great walking along the Sea Wall, the Wormy men were up to their knees in mud, the birds were digging for worms and the sniffs were warm and interesting!

Super Sunny Sniff Time!
We went out for our morning stroll and got back for a brush and some Lambs Heart for breakfast. Then off to the garden for a snooze in the sunshine! The Missus wanted to put some 'Sun Block' on our tummy to stop us getting sunburn but Old Two Legs just told us to sleep on our tummies!

That was good 'cos that sun block smells terrible and it makes all the grit stick to our tummy!

After lunch, OTL had to do some work, someone came banging on the door and OTL spent some time with the man and his radio, Boring or Wot!

When he had finished, we all piled into the car and off we went to the New Park. We had a long walk, all around the Orchard Walk, at least two and a half miles!

OTL decided he should have a sit down half way around the course!

Holly got a bit bored sitting there waiting for OTL to recover and decided to blow a Raspberry at me!

Raspberries to Daisy!
I turned to OTL and told him what Holly had done, he told me not to be a baby and sort it out for myself!

Did you see what she did?
It was shortly after that the fight started!


OTL said that we had to practise our road crossing, so we had to sit at the kerb, look left and look right and Holly asked if we should look up as well in case of squirrels!



Look Left and Look Right!
OTL said we had done well and could cross!

Back home and we were given some of OTL's curry meat, lightly cooked but without the curry stuff!

Then we had a go at mugging him when he got served the curry! A bit of Naan bread dipped in the curried meat juice is enough for us!

Tonight I think we will be snoozing on the sofa and cuddling up to OTL!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
