A Bit Damp Today!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again!

This morning we were up good and early, around five fifteen it was, just to have a wander around and have an early morning wee.

That means we don't have to wake Old Two Legs up until later, so we all snuggled down together and had a 'Before Get Up Snooze'!

I like those snoozes 'cos it make you all relaxed and warm and happy!

I don't think it works that way with OTL, he took a look at the clock and went all grumbly and staggered off to get a shower!

 Soon we were down The Sea Wall and looking out to sea for monsters! We didn't see any but we did spot a shower across the water. Holly says that is what they mean by 'Occasional Showers'!



Occasional Showers!
We found our hole in the sand again and Holly had a dig and I joined her, just for fun!

Holly says that she thinks there are 'Sand Rabbits' on beaches and they specialize in building rabbit holes in sandy spots. Well, I've never heard of that before and I think she is talking out of her tail again, but I don't say so, just in case there are such things as Sand Rabbits!

Bet there are sand rabbits here!
As we got further along the path, we spotted one of the Wormy Men digging away and making a big mess in the mud. Today he was wearing a yellow jacket. I said that a yellow jacket was not right 'cos the worms could see him coming and run away before he finds them!

Holly, says that is not possible 'cos worms are color blind and they can't see the yellow jacket, so that means the Wormy Man was really invisible to the worms every time he wore the jacket and in that way he could catch more worms 'cos they couldn't see him coming!

The Invisible Wormy Man.
So now we know!

Lunch time came around and we had to wear our coats 'cos it was starting to rain and you know how much we hate the rain!

Holly was mumbling horrid things about the rain and how she wished it would go and rain out to sea where it didn't matter!


I Don't Do Rain!
 I must admit, I agreed with her and added that I didn't like the wind blowing my whiskers about either!


OR Wind!
 I went to inspect the Sand Rabbits hole and found that if I stuck my head into the hole, the rain stopped!
Here, no Rain!
 We couldn't stay on the beach all day with our heads stuck down a hole, so we hurried around our circuit and was soon on our way back to the car.


Then OTL stopped.

Not a Good Sign.

Then he put his camera to his eye and started to walk over the un cut grass.

Also, not a Good Sign 'cos some times he falls over!

Then he got close to a tree.

Sitting half way up the tree was a Kestrel surveying the area.

OTL said he was looking for his lunch!

Holly said he could come home with us and join us for lunch, providing he tastes like,

CHICKEN!

Just looking for lunch!
 He must have heard Holly 'cos the next moment he flew off, back down the path towards the sea!

The afternoon has been spent sort of snoozing and mugging OTL for some nibbles.

Not sure what is for dinner tonight but I think we have got Lambs Heart and Liver!

Can't wait!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Sunny Day with Old Two Legs

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

When we went out this morning it was a bit chilly, the wind was still blowing in off the sea, but a run around soon warmed us up. Old Two Legs just pulled his hat on a bit further and turned his collar up on his coat!

Chilly!
 We got a bit further on and Holly says, 'Here! What is that on the path?' I had a look and said it looked like a dog in 'Play' mode!

Very slowly we both walked towards this doggy and Holly said, 

'I know him!'

I know you!
'To right!' I said, 'That's Bryn!'

We hadn't seen each other for some time and we all jumped and ran around in a circle!



Hello Girls!
 It was good to see him again and we all warmed up after the chase up and down the path. 

Then Bryn went over to OTL to say 'Hello' and OTL tickled his tail!

Then OTL started to take some photos and Bryn said that he had a 'Good Side' and it was his
Front Side!

My Best Side!
We left him as he went off down the path and we headed for home and a good brush and breakfast.

Doggy Scoff!

Yuk!
&
Double Yuk!!

Well, that's it, another hungry day living off scraps we can mug off OTL!

After the brush Holly dug out a bit of Chicken Fillet she had hidden away yesterday and I went off to pinch one of her chews she had hid in her bed, she didn't know I had found it!

Lunch time came and we were off to post some bits then instead of heading to The Sea Wall, we found ourselves in the New Park! Better still, we parked by the gate that leads to the path that takes us down to the Swimming Hole!

I was off like a shot!

Leaving everyone behind as I headed for The Swimming Hole!

When I got there, a big Alsatian was plonking about so I stood back until OTL and Holly arrived, I'm not that daft!

After he cleared off I started to have a paddle and chase the ball when this bully of a Labrador came charging into the water! Not only did she make Holly wet but she nicked my ball as well!

Gissma Ball Back Miss!
I asked her to give it back but she reckoned it tasted better than her own ball so she wanted to keep it!

Then her owner picked up my ball and threw it into the pond for her to get. Off she went like a Trident Missile!

Whoosh!
It was then that I came up with a super idea, I went over and picked up her ball and ran off to OTL with it!

Where's my ball?
I told her that OTL would keep it until she brought my ball back and she had better hurry up 'cos OTL gets upset quickly if he has to hang onto a wet ball for too long!

Here's your ball Daisy!
Off she went and fetched my ball back and gave it to me and said it was just a game really.

That sorted her out!

OTL then played with me by throwing the ball in and I had fun chasing it, but not too far in!

Splash, splash, Splash!
After a while OTL said I was getting too cold, so off we went for a run to warm up!

As we went across the bridge, I stopped to have a look at the water and Holly calls out to OTL, 'Here, Can I Shove her in?'

Can I shove her in?
Just wait, one day I'll shove her in the water!

 We had a good time chasing the ball and each other, so it wasn't long before I got warmed up and we headed back to the car.

On the way we were discussing our pictures OTL took and how good we looked posing in our coats.

From behind there came a little voice saying 'I do posing in competitions and this is how you should do it'

This is how!
 We had to agree, she knew what she was doing and we just loved the raised paw!

I asked OTL if he could throw the ball again 'cos Holly and I wanted to have another run, so I put on my 'Pleeeeeese' face and got him to throw it all the way to the car!

Pleeeese!
Back home to a snooze before dinner, OTL's that is and we will get a bit as well!

See you tomorrow, let's hope the rain stays away!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

It's Hard Work!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again!

What a day! We were up good and early for our early morning wee in the garden, then straight back up stairs to Old Two Legs who was still snoring his head off!

Holly cuddled up to OTL's back and fell asleep again and I dropped of to sleep with my head on his legs!

It was only The Missus wangling around on her electric carpet sweeper that woke us all up again!

Off we went down to The Sea Wall and this morning the wind was blowing from off the sea, a good sign that it's going to get colder and wetter!

I decided that as Autumn is coming I would have one last dig in the sand on the beach, well, shingle really, but there is a spot where the shingle gets to look like rough sand, so, I had a dig!

One Last Dig!
 Of course, it didn't take long for sis to arrive and offer to help my dig out the rabbits!

I can Sniff them as well!
 I said that there were no rabbits, just memories of our holiday, but she just kept on about 'Sniffin the Rabbits', in the end I gave up and we both had a dig!

Strange Looking Barge!
 After that we looked out to sea and saw this really weird looking barge being towed along, OTL says it looks like a crane but Holly says it looks like a sunken ship coming to the surface!

Another thing we noticed, there seems to be many more birds on the beach nowadays, a sign that the winter is on it's way!


Loads of Birds!
 After lunch OTL had done all his work and packed up all the parcels, so it was off to the carrier and the Post Office.

Next thing on the list is to deliver to the local customers, so off we went, first to a school and next to a taxi company, we do get around you know!

We finished up close to the New Park, so you know what happens next!

Ball Chasing!

Me chasing a ball!
 I do enjoy chasing after a ball, you see it reminds me of rabbits or rats or pussy cats and there is some thing deep down in me that just can't resist chasing them!  I don't do the Retriever thing and bring the ball back for OTL to throw again, I make him chase after me!

He needs the exercise!

Holly on the other hand just doesn't see the reason for ball chasing and as she says....................


I Don't do Balls!
OTL is sneaky and uses my ball chasing to get my attention some times, like this!


  
 Throw it, go on, THROW IT!

We had a long walk in the New Park and OTL kept me well away from the Swimming Hole 'cos he says it's too cold for splashing about, unless you are designed for it, and we're not!

What we are designed for is having a chase and rolling in good sniffs, so that's what I did!

A heavenly roll in a Sniff!
 The only problem is, OTL doesn't agree that it is a good thing, so he chased me away, telling me I was a proper 'Smelly Nelly'!

But while he was doing that, guess what Holly did?

Sharing a Sniff with Sis!
 That was it, OTL had steam coming out of his ears and he told us off good and proper, but as I said to Holly................

Worth it, wasn't it!
 Back home to a chicken dinner, then help OTL with his dinner!

After all that, I'm looking forward to and evening of snoozes followed by a good nights sleep, that's if Holly's snoring doesn't keep me awake!

Bye bye for now, see you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Wonderful Wet and Damp Monday!

Hello Woofers!

Darling Daisy & Handsome Holly here again!

We were woken up last night by Holly wanting to go for a wander in the back garden, at one thirty!

OTL was not happy 'cos he had stayed up late just to make sure Holly went out for her 'Late Night Wee' before going to bed!

We are just amazed that he can't see a thing when it's dark, you can tell that by the sounds he makes, it goes 'Bonk OW!' depending on what he bumps into!

What he needs is 'Puppy Vision'!

We didn't get up on time and both Holly and OTL over slept!

On our walk down on The Sea Wall we met up with a Bichon/Lakeland Terrier, he was all bubbly and we had a great time chasing each other around!

Can't Catch Me!
 I was jumping over Holly and she was trying to trip him up!

No matter what he tried, I had him beat paws down!

Com'on Slow Coach!
In the end he was worn out! So, Holly and I are looking forward to the next time we meet him!

We got back to the car just in time 'cos it started to rain as soon as OTL shut the door!

Back home we had a snooze in the office while OTL was playing on the laptop, still banging his head on the desk 'cos the email thingy won't work!

Come lunch time we were sitting by the window, keeping an eye open for the Postman, so we can have a good bark!

OTL said that we should get out for our lunch time walk before it rains, so off we went but this time OTL helped us put our rain coats!

Down on The Sea Wall we did our Posing on the Wall! First I stood there and wiggled my tail!

Hey! Look!
Holly was telling me to 'Hurry Up' as she felt a a 'Pose Coming On', she is a right pushy puppy!

Here's my Pose!
We're getting good at this posing lark, I think OTL will have to start selling our photos to the doggy magazines!

Am I The Best or Wot!
Holly says that she knows how to do a 'Natural Pose' and that of the two of us, she is really the professional model.

It was at that moment that a rabbit ran across our path and posing went up in that air as we went storming after the bunny!

It got away! It's not fair!

 Never mind, home before it rains and we going to mug OTL tonight 'cos he's got Gammon and we just love a nibble of gammon!

Tomorrow it's out delivering some stuff, so, if it's not pouring with rain, we should get a walk down the New Park!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Poser!)

Silly Sunday!

Yo Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

Today has been a slow day, Old Two Legs has been playing with his computer and we have been snoozing the day away!

We haven't been bored just sort of lazy if you know what I mean!

It is good to be lazy once in a while, well according to OTL there is nothing wrong with that and he should know!

He says that if you spend all your life working hard and never get to be lazy once in a while, what is the purpose of working hard!

We went down The Sea Wall and met up with a man who was working hard, cutting the grass!

This is one of the volunteers who keep the Sea Wall tidy and fun for us dogs and you Two Legs and he was working at having fun while working, if you understand.

Boop! Boop!
 OTL was watching him cut the grass on the paths and said he looked like Mr Toad on his brand new speed machine!

 We had Doggy Scoff for breakfast, not my favourite, but I was hungry and ate all mine straight off. Holly had a sniff and a nibble but decided she was going to have a 'Detox Day' by drinking water and nibbling grass.

Mind you, I did see her mug OTL for half of his Cookie Biscuit this morning!

Lunch time we were strolling along the beach and Holly said the Detox was working well and she was looking The Business and just to prove it, she struck a pose for OTL to record on the camera!

Looking Good!
I wasn't going to have that, so I said to OTL to get the camera ready and I did one of my 'Super Smart Look Into My Eyes And Love Me' looks!

I do this when I want OTL to take notice 'cos I want him to do some thing like feed me, walkies, tickle me, play ball, take us out driving in the car and other stuff!


Am I 'Super Smart' or Wot!
 Holly and I got into an argument about who looked the best and we asked OTL to judge. He said we were both the same cuddly puppies!

Really, we knew it was going to be a waste of time asking him to decide!

So, just to teach him a lesson, we both mugged him for a nibble of his dinner, (Meat Balls & Rice)!

We have left him messing about on the laptop all evening and we're off to bed now, so, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

He's Back!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you!

'A BIG WOOFING HELLO' to Joan who has been brave enough to sign up to our blog!

We hope you have lots of fun reading about our adventures with OTL and TM!


Well, what a fun day, first of all, you should have seen Old Two Legs this morning! The alarm went off at five fifteen to wake him up for work.

Now OTL is even worse than Holly for 'Early Mornings', there he was bumping into all the hard things, like doors or walls and stubbing his toe on the bed leg!

You should have heard him grumble!

Holly and I stayed in bed and after he got up, we jumped up onto the bed and snuggled down into the duvet, all warm and comfortable!

The Missus got up to watch the F1 qualifying from Japan, 'cos she is into F1 motor racing and she pretends she is racing when she drives the vacuum cleaner around the house!  

OTL went out early 'cos he had a load of work to do and an early start means he could just about get it all done in one day!

That means we have to get The Missus to take us out for our walks. TM doesn't drive the Big Car so instead of a run down on The Sea Wall, we headed off to The Farm.

We noticed that all the crops have been taken in, so now all there is left is stubble and mud!

The field is so big and there is nothing in our way, so, Holly and I can really get a good charge going!

What is better, the mud just flies up in the air as we pass and goes all over the place!

Great fun!

Pity we couldn't show you what it was like but TM is not into photographs, unless it is her cards and tags and stuff, so you will just have to close your eyes and imagine two little black and white and muddy little doggies tearing across the empty fields!

OTL came back a short while ago, he tried creeping in the front door without us knowing, silly OTL, no chance!

He got licked and cuddled all over and a bit more! It was really good to see him again, we don't like it when he leaves us!

We are just about to mug him for some of his dinner, Curry and Nan Bread tonight, super!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Super Dogs!)

What a Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

What a day it has been! First it was a run down on The Sea Wall, when we got there, it started to rain, so Old Two Legs left his camera in the car 'cos as he says, 'It don't like the wet'!

When we got back there was a message from the Computer Shop that the laptop had been returned!

So, with instructions from The Missus as well we headed off to the Computer Shop.

Now, we like it when OTL goes to the Computer Shop, 'cos right next door is The Doggy Shop!

That Doggy Shop has got to be one of our most favourite shops in all the world!

So, while OTL rushed off to the Computer Shop, Holly and I stayed in the car having a chew each!

Next stop was the place where TM can get her Electric Carpet Sweeper! She needs a new one, not because she has worn the other one out,but rather she has broken the old one, snapped the handle off by stepping on it!

She was almost heart broken when she told us about it!

So, with a new one tucked under her arm we headed back home for a nibble and then our lunch time walk.

There were a few new sniffs and some we weren't too sure off!

Wotcha Reckon? Rat or Cat?
OTL disappeared off into the grass and we thought he was looking for a rabbit but when we went back for him, there he was, on his knees photographing a fungi!

The first of the season!

Guess Wot!
Back home OTL locked himself away in the office and has started reloading all the programs onto the laptop. He has been banging his head on the wall trying to get back into the network he set up 'cos he has forgotten all the passwords!

One good thing, he has found the pictures he took of Auntie Zoe's family, he was so worried he may have lost them but, the Gods have been kind to him!

So, as the lads would say 'Whoopee!'

Whoopee! We're not lost!
OTL has got to go out very early tomorrow and will be working all day, so TM has agreed to take us out for our walks.

I wonder if we will have an adventure?

I'll let you know tomorrow night!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

I've Lost My Ball!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

Seems like it was only five minutes ago I was sitting here at the keyboard telling you about our day!

Well, here we are at the end of another eventful day and I'm just worn out!

It started this morning when we got to The Sea Wall, I was having a sniff and Holly was charging about looking for rabbits, not very successfully I might add!

All of a sudden she shouts out that I should 'Jump over the Sea Wall and have a splash in the mud!'

Well, I wasn't going to have any of that, so I told her to 'Kiss My Tail!'

Oi! Kiss My Tail!
That was when the fight started!

It didn't last long 'cos she couldn't catch me and I ended up running circles around her!

Old Two Legs was well ahead of us looking for a Cranefly to photograph, he was not too successful but did find one that was all tangled up in a weed with spikes on!

Help! I'm Stuck!
 Back home and Holly said she had a 'Icky Tummy' and missed out on breakfast, so I helped her eat breakfast, well, it was Chicken and you just gotta help your sister out!

Seems she ate too much 'Doggy Barbecue Sausage' last night and  it has bitten her back!

Lunch time she said she felt better but not enough to eat her chicken, so OTL put it away for later and to stop me having a nibble!

We dropped some stuff off to the carrier and carried onto The New Park. OTL had to get some petrol for the car and as the park was close, we went in there first!

As normal, there were loads of sniffs to sniff and as we were off the lead we could take as long as we wanted!

There is nothing better than a Loooong Sniffffff!
 You see, we can leave OTL to get on with whatever he wants 'cos there is so much open space that we can't really loose him and he can't get into too much trouble without us seeing him!

So, we left him in the bushes doing this photograph, he came back and said ' Hey! Look Girls, this is VIVID!

Mmm, OK, Yes, Wot?

Seems to turn him on!


VIVID!
 Now, we know Michael and Trevor will be interested, so, if I can stay awake while I type this!

Just for Michael who may catch the 'Fall' if he is lucky!

Nikon D3
Lens 28-300 
Focal length 70mm
ISO 200
1/250 sec at f/5.6
JPEG Fine 8 bit
Adobe RGB
Saturation +3 (VIVID)

 OK, that's done that!

We wandered along and suddenly I get the sniff! It's The Swimming Hole! Off I rush, kicking up the dust on the path and 'Flying!'

In fact, I was going so fast that a Heffer was knocked sideways by the blast of wind as I went past!

Wotssat?
When I got to The Swimming Hole, there were a couple of dogs having a game of 'Splash', that is where you jump in and try to splash everyone on the shore!

The Lads playing 'Splash!'
I had a paddle and went up and down just to check that the bottom was where I left it last time!

Just checking the bottom is still there!

OTL and Holly arrived, Holly went in for a little paddle and a drink while OTL threw the ball for me several times.

Me fetching the ball!
Then he did it! He threw it out too far and I couldn't get it! What was worse, the other dogs swam past it and pushed it out further!

He's done it Again!
I kept trying to get it but it drifted out too far and my mouth wasn't big enough to grab it, I just kept pushing it out further!

OTL, it's Too Far Out!
 OTL said that it was going to get stuck in the reeds and I even thought at one time I could take a big jump and grab it, but then I got sensible and decided that OTL will just have to buy another ball down the Doggy Shop!


Shall I dive in?
 I was shivering a bit 'cos it was getting cold and I was soaked through to the skin, so OTL called me away and we had a good run back to the car, Holly was chasing me and then I chased her. By the time we got back I was a bit warmer and as OTL had two of our towls in the car, it wasn't long before I was dry!

Back home to a snooze and then we are off to mug OTL for some of his dinner, steak we think, not sure what sort but we won't complain if it's Fillet!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Feeling Better now)
