Wet Rain, Wet Weather, Wet Doggies!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

What a day! I reckon that if they managed to save all the rain that fell today, shove it into those reservoir thingy wotsit, the hose pipe ban will be over!


We went out first thing with Old Two Legs and it was raining and windy and we just were not having our normal fun.

We don't do Wet!

We tried telling OTL but he insisted we did the whole two mile run! We were soaked when we got back to the car but luckily he had got one of our Doggy Towels with him so after a rub down we didn't feel so bad. 


It was even better when he put the heater blowers on and got the heated seat warmed up as well!


The morning was spent clearing up a few things in the office, our rawhide chews needed to be hidden and the teeth cleaning chews tucked under our bed blankets and of course, our squeaky toys needed to be put in the play box as well!


Lunchtime was no better as far as the weather was concerned, horizontal rain, no rabbits, no squirrels and no other dogs!

No Rabbits To Hunt!

We tried telling OTL we only want a short walk but did he listen?

Holly protesting!

Holly tried to tell him that she would rather have a snooze on the sofa but OTL was too busy trying to get a picture of a Black Headed Gull who was flying overhead!

Hey! I do Rain and Wind!

We got a bit further on and both Holly and I decided we had to take things into our own paws. 


We ran ahead of OTL and then turned towards home at a short cut we know.

I Don't Care, I'm Going Home!

We both ran off and of course, OTL had to follow!


Soon we were back in the car, heater on, heated seats on, towel wrapped around us and OTL drying our tails!


Back home it was a pleasant afternoon, snoozing, mugging OTL for some of his lunch and having a chew on our rawhide chews!


We haven't seen tomorrows weather forecast but I reckon we got some more rain.


Roll on Summer!


OTL is going to take us away in the caravan again next week, let's hope the sun shines 'cos we don't fancy sitting in a caravan woofing at sheep all week!


Claws crossed for sun shine and that means you as well!


Bye bye for now and see you tomorrow!


Luv,


Daisy & Holly

Funtastic Friday!

Hi Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy & Holly back with you!

After yesterdays mooching around with nothing too exciting to do, we made up for it last night and today!

We spent some time in Old Two Legs office having a chew on our rawhide chews, making a noise by gnawing and banging the chew on the floor.

The Missus was not happy!

She came stomping into the office saying, 'Will you keep those dogs quiet!', then she stomped off to bed again.

OTL didn't take any notice, but he did close the office door and we just carried on chomping!

During the night I wanted to tell OTL about a dream I had dreamt about running on a beach but he was asleep. So, I very gently stroked the side of his face with my paw, unfortunately, I stroked a bit too hard and scratched his face, it was OK 'cos I started to lick the blood off his cheek but he turned over and told me to go back to bed!

Come the morning I'm sure he couldn't remember a thing, but he did have two scratch marks on his cheek!

The sun was shining and the wind was gentle when we went out for our morning walk.

We first met up with a noisy little Bozzo who just could not stay still, we think he doesn't get out too much! In the end he flopped down in front of OTL and said 'I'm Whacked!'

I'm Whacked!

Next thing we knew was a Big HELLOOOO Girlies! and Barney came crashing into us!

HELLOOOO!!!!

Holly walked up to him and said 'Bonjour Monsieur Barney, comment allez-vous?'

Well, I nearly fell back onto my tail! Holly talking French!

Barney replied 'Bonjour Miss Holly, vous regardez belle ce matin ensoleillé!'

Holly got all embarrassed and I said 'What did he say?' 

Dunno, says Holly but he sure does know a lot of French!

As we were walking back to the car I asked Holly how she knew how to speak in French and she said that last night she had been woken up by someone talking about running on a sandy beach. So she had gone into the office and had found a translation site on the Internet and had learnt some things in French!

That Holly Dog can be clever, sometimes!

Lunch time came and OTL was off to the carrier to send off some stuff, so, next stop, The Forest!

Squirrel Hunters is Us!

Hunting Squirrel!

 We managed to chase three squirrels but as normal they were too far away to stand a chance of catching them but it was still good fun trying!

We were stalking through the forest and we came upon an arch made out of a couple of trees. Holly said it was the Woodland Folk making a doorway to the forest and OTL said it was a bit too big for a Fairy Arch and maybe it was a Witches Front Door!

Who's door is this?

Holly and I stayed away from it, just in case!


OTL spotted a Mistle Thrush up in the tree and took a picture, not a brilliant picture but he had trouble deciding if it was a Mistle or a Song Thrush, in the end the size and lack of Yellow Buff colouring on the chest decided it.

Mistle Thrush

Holly asked if it tasted like Chicken?


Due to the lack of squirrels, OTL wandered off and found a Fairy Arch made of Bluebells, but we said that we thought his imagination was running wild again!

Boring Bluebells!

It was good to be out in the sun shine and the smell of the forest growing. The Woodpeckers were banging away on the tree trunks and making a dreadful din!


After all the chasing Holly said we had Run Out of Squirrels! OTL thought that was funny!

We've Run Out of Squirrels!

Back home to a prospect of mugging OTL for some of his dinner then curl up on the sofa for a cuddle and a snooze!


Life is good!


See you tomorrow.


Luv,


Daisy & Holly



 

OTL's Been Working Again!

Hi All You Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

Thursday has been a bit of a nothing day today.

First of all we were woken up too early and made to go walkies far too early in the morning!

The wind was blowing and it felt a little cold as well!

There was nothing much to see, no dogs to play with and all Old Two Legs could manage was a landscape, or should it be a seascape, of a cargo vessel coming in on the morning tide!

Catch the Morning Tide.

All dark and moody, just like us!

We didn't even find any rabbits to chase and when we did find a sniff, we couldn't decide which way it went anyway!

Well I Say It Went In Here!

We got home and almost as soon as we got in the door, OTL was out and running!

Seems like he had a lot to do and couldn't take us with him, which was a real shame 'cos we love going for a drive in the car with him, even if we don't get to go for a walk!

He did say that he would be climbing all over the place inside a building where he keeps his stuff and doggies were not allowed to be in there. So, we forgave him this time!

We spent most of the day snoozing and guarding the house until he came back, then we had another run on The Sea Wall before going back home for some diner.

A cuddle with OTL and bed, that's how to finish the day!

See you tomorrow, OTL has promised a run down The Forest to chase those Pesky Squirrels!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

The Return of Monsieur Barney!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

What a day! We went out with Old Two Legs this morning for our normal run along the Sea Wall.

We should have guessed that something was up 'cos he dressed us up in our winter coats and got out his protective cover for his camera.

Out the front door we went and it was raining, not much, not enough for our coats, but what the heck, it made a a change!

That was until we got down to the Sea Wall, it was blowing a gale down there and the rain felt like it was shot from a gun!

Hey! This is Horizontal Rain!

Well, that was it, we didn't fancy a long run this morning and pretty quickly both Holly and I had done what we needed to do and were pointing our noses towards the car!

OTL either didn't read our signals right or he had decided he wanted to get really wet!

We went a bit further on and then he turned around and headed for the short cut home!

As we got to the bit where OTL puts our lead on we heard 'WHEEeeeeeeeeee Girlies!'

Crashing through the weeds came Barney, back from his holiday!

Bonjour les filles!

He made a fuss of OTL then turned to us and said 'Bonjour les filles avez-vous eu un Wee-Wee?'


Holly looked at him and said 'Wot?'


Barney said it was what they spoke in the South of France where he had been. It was super warm and the sun shone most of the time!


I said we could do with some of that sunshine here 'cos we don't like the rain, too cold and wet!


Barney said he would catch up with us later and tell us some stories of his holiday!


We were glad to get back to the car where OTL gave us a rub down to get rid of most of the rain that had stuck to us. Trouble was, he also was soaked to his skin and when we got home he had to change all his clothes!


The morning was spent having a wander between the lounge and OTL's office.


Lunch time came and we looked out the window, yep, still raining!

Well OTL had to deliver some stuff so we agreed to go with him and providing it wasn't pouring down with rain, we would have a walk.

It poured down for most of the time we were delivering but it stopped just as we got to The New Park!

Off we went, I asked OTL if he had brought any balls with him to throw but there were none in the car, so we just had to put up with sniffin and running!

We said 'Hello' to the watchers and as normal, they said nothing, they just carried on watching!

Hello Mr & Mrs Watcher.

Then we said 'Hello' to the cows in the field and one came over and asked if we had any nibbles she could have 'cos she was getting fed up with wet grass all the time. Seems like it keeps giving her wind!

Got Any Nibbles?

I said that Holly gets like that after eating grass as well!

Holly said that OTL should take a picture of the cows eye, just for Mike. So here it is!

One for Mike!

There was a Rook sitting on the fence post having a groom and OTL was walking towards it with his camera up to his eye, sort of stalking thing he does with birds. We just ran along side the fence to see him but he flew away, just as OTL was getting close.

I'm getting ready to Fly!

We said sorry! Holly wanted to know if its song was like the Cuckoo but sort of Rook-Koo?


Holly found a big puddle, so we both had a paddle, until OTL told us we were 'Mucky Puppies' and we had to get out!

Puddles are for paddling in!

On our way back to the car I spotted a couple of big mean looking dogs coming towards us, so I did my trick of getting OTL to pick me up and sit me on his shoulder and as they came closer, I let off a load of big brave 'Woofs' and OTL told me off for doing that and Holly came running up, laughed and called me a Big Woofing Scaredy Cat!

Scaredy Cat!

Back home to some more nibbles and a cuddle with OTL and who knows, we may get him to get out the Shortbread tonight!


Bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!


Luv,


Daisy & Holly

No Cuckoos Today!

HI HO Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

This morning we couldn't wait to get down to the Sea Wall to hear the Cuckoo again but when we got there, he had gone!

Is That a Cuckoo?

We ran up and down the path going 'Cook-Koo, Cook-Koo' but nothing happened.

Cook Woofin Koo!

Old Two Legs said it possibly had gone to Northwood Hill (RSPB) place or even The Forest.

So, we have decided that at lunch time OTL and us are off to the woods!

Breakfast was a little uninspiring today, Doggy Scoff, I don't know why The Missus gives it to us, we only eat it if we are starving and on our last legs!

So, as a protest, we decided to stay on the sofa while TM does her cards and we give her the 'Hairy Eyeball' and do deep sighs and every so often, a small hungry whine.

That was useless, she is a hard hearted Missus sometimes, no Lambs Liver, no Lambs Heart, No Chicken, no Minced Lamb, oh dear, I think we are going to starve to death tonight!

OTL took pity on us and we got three runs out today, twice to The Sea Wall and once down to The Farm, where we haven't been for ages!

We investigated all the fox holes and the rabbit holes and Holly saw a fox across the field and went racing across to sort it out but the fence was in the way, so all we could do was woof at the fox!

Foxy's Gone!

We took the long route and must have covered at least three miles, but as the sun was out and the rain had gone away, it was great fun!

OTL took some pictures of the Bluebells, again, you'd think by now he had got enough pictures!

Funny Daffodils!

One of the good things about The Farm is we can run off into the woods and we always know where we are and how to catch up OTL as he staggers up the hills!

It's a Long Way Back to The Car!

Some times we hide and wait until he has blown that whistle inside out before we jump out of the trees and rush past him!

You Calling Me????

As we got closer to the car we came across a field of grass that they sometimes graze sheep on but today it looked a bit 'Wobbly'

OTL says that they had a wonky wheel on the lawn mower but Holly says it was done by a 'Wonky Farmer' who's wheel fell off ages ago!

Wobbly or Wonky?

Back home we found that the Doggy Scoff was still in our bowls and it still didn't look edible!

Maybe tonight we will have to do some serious mugging of OTL, he has got curry tonight so I think we got a fight on our paws 'cos he does like his curry!

Bye bye for now and let's hope the sun keeps shining tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Our First Cuckoo this Year!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Guess what? We have heard the first Cuckoo calling this morning! We got out of the car by The Sea Wall and there is was belting out the familiar call!

Where's The Cuckoo!

Holly and I tried to copy its call but Old Two Legs says that we still sound like 'Woofers'!

Super run this morning, the wind was blowing but not too much and the sun was shining , but not too much, in fact a very pleasant walk indeed.

When we got home we saw that the small car was back and as we got closer to the front door we could smell traces of The Missus on the path. When we got into the hallway, it was there, loads of TM sniffs!

OTL let us off the lead and opened the door and in we flew, TM got a big wet ear licking as a welcome!

Lunch time walk was not good, in fact if it were not for the fact that last nights 'Doggy Scoff' was making a rumbling in my tummy, I would have stayed in doors!

It was raining, it was wet, it was cold, it was cold,wet and rainy and it rained on us!

We got back to the car, got towelled down and the car heater put on 'Full Blast'!

TM had gone again by the time we got back, more baby sitting, so we didn't get a chance to give her a lick on the ear whilst we were all damp and smelling of Dog!

She loves it really!

This afternoon was spent catching up on our snoozes and letting OTL get on with paying his suppliers. We always know when he does that 'cos he sobs hysterically every time he makes a BACS payment!

Poor Thing!

TM came back a bit late this evening so all we had time to do was to say 'Hello' and go back to our 'Before Bed Snooze'!

See you tomorrow and let's hope the rain stops because if it doesn't, we will have floods instead of a drought!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A New place To Walk!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

What a day it has been today, from when we first woke up to now just as we are going to bed it has been a super day.

First of all we went on our morning stroll along the Sea Wall, Old Two Legs saw a Dunnock on top of a bush and took a quick picture, shame the bird wasn't looking at OTL, but it was good to hear him singing, the bird that is, not OTL!

Dunnock.

We wandered along the beach and Holly found the left over from last nights party!

Empty Bottle.

 It is a real pity that they don't clear up the empty bottles after they finish with them. Sometimes we find these bottles broken and I wouldn't fancy standing on the broken glass!

Holly was playing 'Hide n Seek' with OTL. She would hide in the plants growing along side the path and wait until OTL whistled and called out for her, then she would jump out woofing and laughing at the same time!

This morning she had got the 'Pickle' in her!

Ho Ho Woofin Ho Ho!

Then we would run off ahead of OTL again!

We both hid in the grass and Holly said that the clouds were looking pretty today, so we lay on our backs looking at the clouds.

Pretty Clouds.

OTL finally caught us up and told us were we 'Mucky Puppies' for rolling in something smelly!

I'm sure he didn't believe us when we told him we were just looking at the clouds!

Later, when we went out again, OTL stopped the car in a new place. Then taking us across the road we arrived at a new walk!

This was part of the Sea Wall defence system we have around here, just waiting for the once in a lifetime storm!

A New Walk!

It was good searching out all the sniffs, there were doggy sniffs and duck sniffs and goose sniffs and sea gull sniffs!

There were So Many sniffs we had trouble keeping up with OTL!

Wide Open Sniffs!

While we were investigating some Foxy Sniffs we noticed that OTL was wandering around looking at the clouds, seems he has found a new interest!

More Stormy Clouds!

Holly found some feathers on the ground and after doing some examinations declared it was the last remains of a Black Headed Gull.

Mmmm, Smells Like Gull!

 When we got back home, we found The Missus packing ready to go off to do some overnight baby sitting.

We didn't mind too much 'cos that means we will have a good time with OTL, singing songs and telling jokes!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Saturday with Old Two Legs.

Hello all you Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

Today The Missus was up really early 'cos today is the day she goes off to her 'Village Crop' when all her local 'Crafty Mates' get to sit in the village hall together and splash the glue pot around and make a big mess everywhere!

I sometimes wonder about them you know!

Old Two Legs and us were off good and early to the Sea Wall. The sun was still low above the horizon and just for a change, no rain!

OTL asked us to stand on the wall so he could take a picture of us in 'Silhouette'. It was fun trying to stand there and not giggle, especially as Holly was blowing raspberries at the same time!

First, here is me.

Daisy in Silhouette

Then there is Holly.

Holly in Silhouette

Now I ask you, who looks better?

Me of course!

I'm slimmer, got a better hair cut and know how to 'Pose' properly!

When I said this to Holly she didn't agree, so we got into a 'Discussion' about it and she kept on about me looking like a 'Bag of Bones' compared to her 'Well Rounded' shape.

I said I was 'Slim' and 'Willowy' and she was 'Short and Dumpy' and her butt was too big!

It was about then that the fight started!

OTL marched us both home and told us to 'Go into the Naughty Corner' which confused us a little 'cos as far as we were concerned, we didn't have a Naughty Corner!

We kept our heads down for a while anyway, just to let him get on with his 'Jobs'.

First of all he gave the central heating system a good clean out and set about with the vacuum cleaner getting rid of all the dust and cob webs!

Then he got the grass cutting thingy wotsit out of the shed and cut down all the grass which was over a foot tall!

It was a shame he did that 'cos now we have no where to hide our chews!

By then it was lunch time and we all had a chat on where we could go, in the end, we decided on The Forest again!

Of course Holly and me went off 'Hunting Squirrel' and every one we found refused to come down and play chase. One even said he thought that we would eat him if he came down.

I taste of Squirrel, not chicken!

Holly promised she wouldn't eat him, unless he tasted of chicken!

I found another but he wouldn't come down either!

Professional Squirrel Hunter!

OTL didn't find any Jay birds to photograph, they all were hiding over the other side of the forest today!

So, no Jays and no Squirrels, so we went home!

It wasn't long before TM came back and showed us six 'Tags' she had made at her 'Crop'. OTL put his foot in in, he asked why she makes so many of these 'Tags' and never uses them on any presents?

She was not pleased and you could tell that by the way she growled at him and snatched the tags back out of his hand!

Never mind, we gave him a cuddle and helped him eat his shortbread!

See you tomorrow, F1 race is on late morning, so OTL has to get his work done before the race starts!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

OTL has to go out to Work!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again!

Today has been a sort of nothing day.

We got up early and went out with Old Two Legs for our run along the beach.

We saw Mr & Mrs Shellduck, paddling in the mud!

Mr & Mrs

Then we had to get out of the way of a 4x4 rolling along the path we normally take. OTL says it must be dangerous driving it about because of the Hazhem sticker it has on it's windows.
He says it has Corrosive and Toxic and Harmful and Irritant stuff on board and we had better not get too close or we could end up bald!

Keep Away!

Holly asked if that was the reason OTL didn't have much hair?

When we got back to the car, there was a youngster getting ready to go out for a walk.

Mr Max!

He said his name was Max and he was just too excited to stay and have a chat 'cos not only did he want to have a run but he wanted to do a wee as well!

OTL gave us a good brush when we got back, made sure we had our breakfast and spent a little time in the office.

Then he started to load up the car with tools and stuff. We knew what was about to happen, OTL was going back to working for a change!

Off he went and we were a bit upset he had left us at home.

The Missus took us out at lunch time but it wasn't the same, she didn't play 'Chase' or 'Hunt The Rabbit' she didn't even know any of our 'Walking Songs'!

And, she can't whistle like OTL!

We stayed cuddled up to OTL's jumper and although he wasn't there, we could still smell him!

When he finally did get back he was worn out, poor thing, he says he's getting too old for this working thing!

We had a good cuddle and as a treat he got out our chews so we can have a nibble  while watching the F1 practise on the television.

TM is off tomorrow to he 'Village Crop' so we will have OTL all to ourselves, so we can bully him into taking us for a run in The Forest!

Let's hope the weather is warm and sunny tomorrow!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Rain Rain and More Rain!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

What a day today! Every time we stick our noses out of the door, it is raining!

We went out for our early morning wee in the garden, yes, it was raining. So it was a quick trip, out and back again as soon as possible!

When Old Two Legs took us down to the Sea Wall, guess what? Yep! It was raining!

We reckon it was so bad the ships were parked up 'cos their windscreen wipers couldn't keep all the rain off the screen!

There was one parked up, called Norman Flower and it had a deck where a helicopter could land. It also had a very big Hiab type of crane at the back, so it couldn't have been a fishing boat!

Hello Flower!

We had a run on the beach and Holly spotted some gulls having breakfast of some bread that had been thrown on the beach. Holly took one look and went steaming off to see if it was fresh. The gulls called out to each other, 'Watch Out, There is Holly!'

Watch Out! There's Holly Dog!

Seems our sister is known all over the place for her eating habits!


Beside the ships parked up on the horizon, there was one hurrying into the Medway to off load his containers, OTL reckons they may have had a Pilot on board.

Low Flying Boat!

Holly just couldn't work out why the ship wasn't flying if it had a pilot.

We were heading back to the car when this very large poodle dog came jumping all over the place. Holly got a little scared and yelped, I ran behind OTL for protection!

Behave Yourself!

Holly had a woof at it but we don't think he was having a go at us, just lacking in the social graces of saying 'Hello'!

He said that he had come from a Rescue Centre and had not been allowed out with his other owners, just a wander around the garden and he had never seen other dogs since he left his Mum and brothers.

So we gave him some tips about sniffin dogs you meet for the first time and where it is not good manners to stick your nose until you have been properly introduced!

Manners Holly!

Not that it stopped Holly if she thought she could get away with it!

The rest of the day was rain and more rain.

We went out in the afternoon and started a walk around The Forest but it got so wet we had to go back to the car.

OTL took us back to The Sea Wall but again, half way through the walk, it rained, again!

In the end we went back home, had some chicken, left over from breakfast, and went to sleep in OTL's office, well, it's nice and warm in there!

Holly has seen the tin of 'Doggy Dins' on the work surface in the kitchen, so we know what we've got for dinner tonight, YUK!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
