A Splash of rain and Holly does a Barney!

Yo Ho Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly back with you!

We expected that it would be pouring with rain and our walk would last all of five minutes!

Surprise, surprise! It was dry and as we headed towards The Sea Wall the only water we saw was a burst water pipe by the side of the road!

Down on the Sea Wall we investigated a large number of sniffs, as we do, and Holly said that she had found a new rabbit trail in the long grass. I thought she was mistaken and we got into a technical discussion on sniffs, which Old Two Legs didn't really understand, so we carried on the discussion and he wandered off down the path leaving us all alone!

I've discovered a new Rabbit Sniff!

He didn't get too far 'cos he spotted three Little Egrets on the mud, they were jumping up and down to scare the worms to the surface!

Here, Wormy Wormy!

That started us thinking about breakfast, so off home to a bowl full of Doggy Scoff!

Well, that was it, we both showed off and spent the rest of the morning sulking in our beds!

Lunch time came and we headed off with OTL to do some deliveries but were surprised to head off to The Forest first!

We didn't mind, and Holly and I had some fun chasing squirrels, well, we told OTL there were squirrels but really we didn't see any at all!

Holly said that she could see  a squirrel and said she was doing a Barney, you know, Pointing!

Doing a Barney!

OTL was still clicking away with his camera at the trees, which was a bit odd 'cos most of the leaves have now gone!

The Leaves have Left Us!

After the walk we headed off to do OTL's deliveries and then back home to see what we had for dinner, what did we find?

Doggy Scoff!

It's a good chance that we can mug OTL for some of his dinner tonight, if we are lucky!

Now, we have got to see some of OTL's Glencoe pictures and here are some we have managed to pinch from his files!

More Trees and Leaves down Glen Etive.

 Now this next one we are interested in 'cos OTL tells us that it is a Bambi Burger on the hoof and we like Bambi Burgers!

Venison Steak anyone?

Mind you, those things on top of his head look sharp, you could get a nasty jab if he waved them about too much!

Off to mug OTL now, so see you tomorrow!

Bye Bye!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

It's Them Again!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

We have been having a lazy day today, no violent chasing of rabbits or rats or squirrels, much!

This morning we went out along The Sea Wall and strolled along just enjoying the air and gently sniffing around. Holly suggested that there were some rabbits hiding in the long grass but I thought it was only one rabbit having a run around, just to confuse us!

One or six rabbits?

Then as we got onto the Sea Wall we spotted the rabbit, a long way along the path and we decided that by the time we got to where it was we would be too out of breath to woof at him!

Not worth Chasing!

We didn't worry, there would always be another time and we will be closer next time!

Lunch time was an adventure all in it's self! We met up with the Shih Tzu lads, all woof and tail that lot!

One even did a 'Sneaky Sniff' on Holly who spun around and gave him a good 'Grumble' which told him off good and proper!

Wot a Sneaky Sniff!

It was then that his mates started to woof at us so we told them to go home or we would get our Old Two Legs to sort them out!

Watch It or OTL will sort you out!

 It was then that they said sorry and said that they didn't want to upset OTL 'cos he was always pleased to see them and they all got a 'Tickly Tail' from him!
 

Sorry!

 They wandered off and Holly spotted a rabbit and we were off! He ran around all over the place but finally disappeared into a bush and we never saw any more of him.

Where is he now?

 OTL was jumping up and down calling and whistling for us to follow him, fat chance if there's a rabbit about!

We didn't go directly home, instead we went of to our most favourite shop, The Doggy Shop!

The sniffs in that place are tremendous! You know they even have little rooms where you can see through the walls where they keep Guinea Pigs  and Rats and Rabbits, all running around and looking very tasty!

We asked OTL if we could have one but he said that we were only allowed Doggy Scoff and nibbles!

So, no rabbit, but we did see some Chicken Fillet packs go into the basket as well as some Chews and some Teeth Cleaning Chew and some Twisty Chews as well as the Doggy Scoff and biscuits!

So, I reckon we can leave the rabbits until later!

We have just mugged OTL for some of his dinner, meat balls and we also had a water biscuit, so, that also made up for the rabbit we couldn't have!

You know Christmas is coming, so maybe we will get a rabbit then!

Claws Crossed!

 OK, we are off for a cuddle with OTL now and we have seen him get the shortbread out, so that means another nibble before bed!


Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Sunshine for a Change!

Yo Ho Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly here!

We looked out of the window this morning and the clouds and mist had gone, instead there was the sun, all glowing and promising a super day!

We woofed Old Two Legs out of bed and told him about the sun and how he should be out with his camera instead of sleeping Sunday away!

Down on The Sea Wall it was fun picking up the new sniffs but it was a toss up between Rat or Rabbit 

Rat, Rabbit or maybe Rat, but it could be Rabbit!

Mrs Corvid was racing about looking for breakfast on the shore and the sun had brought out the Whelks, so she was happy!

Another one!

OTL was in a good mood 'cos he had found a Wax Cap all on it's own!

The last Wax Cap!

Holly was having fun romping along the sea front and I told her that the Dog Trot Dance was getting boring. She called back over her shoulder, 'I'm not dancing, I'm Running!'

Fun Run!

 Back home for some chicken breakfast and a snooze in OTL's office while he was playing about on the computer doing something or other!

Lunchtime came and we mugged OTL for a nibble then woofed at him to tell him to hurry up 'cos we wanted to go chasing squirrels again!

Well, the sun was shining and the woods were calling, so off we went, singing our 'Car Driving Songs!'

As soon as we got there we went around to the pond, now this pond is not for swimming 'cos it is not very deep but there is loads of really soggy mud, so even us are not so daft as to want to swim in it!

 

OTL says it's pretty!

We got around the corner and a big Labrador came bounding along and headed straight for OTL for a cuddle the went bounding over to Holly and said 'Come On, lets play Chase!'

I Don't Do Chase!

While we were having a 'Group Sniff', OTL was looking back down the path to the car park and waiting for the sun to shine through the trees.

Sun through the trees.

Holly and I said 'Good Bye' and proceeded to 'Hunt Squirrel'! First we had to check out the trees around us for any movement in the branches.

See anything sis?

OTL was trying to help us by taking pictures of the trees and zooming in on his display!

Nothing here!

I tried getting up high to see what was moving on the forest floor and over a wider area!

I think I saw Movement over there!

So, I jumped down and did my 'Commando Crawl' through the trees and bushes in the direction of the movement, jumped out into the clearing and saw............

Nothing!

It was then that I heard Holly woofing her 'Squirrel Chasing Woof' and there, sitting on a fallen tree, having a chew on a nut that had been found on the ground!

Nutty Squirrel!

 Well, that was it, I chased after the squirrel, Holly chased after the squirrel, OTL chased Holly and me through the trees until the squirrel disappeared.

Boy! Was that fun!

Back home to tell The Missus and get some more nibbles from OTL at dinner time!

See you all tomorrow but beware, there is rain forecast and some cold frosty mornings are coming!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Squirrel Spotter!)

It's Another Misty Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly Back with you again!

Last night, after we had mugged Old Two Legs at dinner time, we settled down to an evening snooze and  cuddle. I was getting fed up with the noise that Holly was making with the carrot she was chewing. Also, I fancied a chew of the carrot as well but Holly wouldn't let me near her and her precious carrot.

So, I jumped down from the sofa and went over to OTL and asked him for the ball so I could have a game of 'Chase The Ball'

So, OTL tossed the ball down the room and I went after it! Then I threw it up in the air and attacked it and generally had a good game!

Now I know that Holly has this thing about having what ever I have and of course, when she saw me having fun with the ball, she wanted the ball as well! So, she jumped down and rushed over to me and grabbed the ball, I let her have it, but then I rushed back to the sofa, jumped up and grabbed the carrot.

Which was what I'd been after from the beginning!

Sneaky or wot!

On our run down on The Sea Wall, we went hunting rats again but couldn't find any, Holly said that they were still in bed!

We said Good Morning to Mrs Corvid who was looking for breakfast.

Breakfast Calling!

 Then we spotted a Little Egret also searching for breakfast!

Shrimpy, Shrimpy, Shrimpy!

 Even the Wormy Men were out looking for Worms!

Wormy, Wormy, Wormy!

 Holly said that it was just too misty to chase rabbits or rats, so, she will have a practice at dancing the Dog Trot again!

Do, Do, POINT, Yeah!

 You know, she is getting really good at the 'Point' bit!

 Lunch time came and OTL made himself a sandwich and a cup of tea. We mugged him for some of the sandwich but we left him to drink the tea on his own!

He was going to sit down and watch the F1 Qualifying but we reminded him that we have been promised a run down the Forest again!

Off we went, woofing at the people on the path and blowing raspberries at the other cars!

When we got there, it was amazing just how many leaves were on the ground, that's a sure sign that the winter is on its way!

A Carpet of Leaves!

I was hunting squirrel right away and rushed off into the woods looking for those squirrels hiding their nuts!

OTL was poking his camera into the branches of the trees to get the last shots before the leaves disappear all together.

Just about to fall off the tree!

Holly found the Fairy Queens Throne that she had been looking for for some time but this time she decided that she would not sit in it 'cos there were too many damp, wet leaves on the seat!

Fairy Queens Throne

OTL found some greeny yellow looking fungi and said that he wished he had brought his flash with him.

 Holly said 'Flash Wot?'

Green Fungi

 I was too busy looking for those squirrels, I searched under the bushes, up in the trees, then I tried climbing up the trees to get a better view of the surrounding grass and ferns.

Still no squirrels!

 This was getting embarrassing, a Super Hunting Terrier like me should be able to flush them squirrels out and chase them up and down the forest floor. Today I was not only failing to find a squirrel but I didn't even get a fresh sniff of one!

Oh! The shame of it, I was Squirreless!

 Then, close to the last log on the back path, I spotted a movement in the leaves, I was instantly alert and ready to pounce!

I Spy Movement!

 There, in perfect camouflage, blending perfectly with the leaves, not moving a muscle was Ben. He is the soppiest mutt in the forest, just when I'm hunting squirrel, all he wants to do is play 'Chase' and 'Sniff Your Tail'!

Can't see me!

 That was it! I'd had enough, not only had the squirrels stayed hidden but I got sniffed by a dopey puppy!

I decided to help OTL find trees to photograph and here's one I recommend!

Recommended by Daisy, wee'd on by Holly!

 Back home OTL slept all the way through the F1 practice!

Poor thing gets tired after a long walk and needs his rest!

The Missus got back from her 'Crop' thing in the village hall and couldn't show us what she had made, so we reckon it was another day spent gassing, drinking coffee and eating cream cakes, as normal!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

What a Yucky Day for Hunting Squirrel!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

A 'Big Woof and Hello' to Kelmar who has joined the 'Puppy Pack' today!

We were out this morning with Old Two Legs and met up with a young Labrador that looked a lot like you!

Mind you he was all excited about meeting us, as you would be, but Holly had to give him the 'Grumbles' to keep him in line!

All he wanted to do is have fun and you can't stop him doing that at his age!

Come on, Lets play Chase!

We also met up with three spaniel types who were obviously well fed and enjoying every minute!

Can she play with my ball?

One had a ball that I grabbed and ran around for a short while until he wanted it back, so I dropped it pretty quick 'cos he was bigger than me!

Holly is still practising the Dog Trot and is getting better all the time.

Never mind the Focus, look at the Kick!

We woofed 'Hello' to a Little Egret but it was more interested in getting breakfast than talking to us!

Gottcha!

 Lunch time came and we mugged OTL for a nibble before reminding him of our trip to The Forest!

On the way down we were singing our 'Forest Song' which is great fun 'cos OTL just can't pronounce 'Doggy' very well and keeps making some terrible grammatical errors turning the words into rude words that only doggies know!

When we got there it was spitting with rain, but we said we were big brave puppy's and off we went hunting squirrel.

First it was the normal sniff on the ground, but the rain and mist had washed away the scent!

This is stale Squirrel Sniff!

So, off we went into the woods while OTL took pictures of the leaves and the ferns in the final bit of the autumn season.

Autumn coming to an end.

We were searching the trees for squirrels, but do you think we could find any? No way! We reckon that they had got a sniff of the rain and gone back home to count their nuts!

They are there, somewhere!

It was about then that the rain started and Holly told OTL that it was too wet to carry on walking, no matter how many squirrels there were in the trees!

Back in the car we both told OTL to 'Get The Heater Going'! Pretty soon we were being 'Blow Dried' as we headed for home!

Get The Heater on OTL!

 We got back before the rain set in and joined OTL in his office for a snooze before dinner!

It's Saturday tomorrow and The Missus will be watching the F1 racing, so, if the weather is OK, we will drag OTL down The Forest for another Squirrel Hunt!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Play Misty With Us!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you!

First of all, a big 'Woofing' welcome to Heather who has joined our select bunch of Woofers. We hope you enjoy reading about our adventures and some of the tricks we play on OTL!

It is good to have Old Two Legs back with us and to show him how much we missed him, Holly and I took turns in jumping up on the bed and giving him a 'Welcome Home Lick', every hour or two last night!

Mind you, he did give us a tickle behind the ear each time, so reckon he was pleased to be back!

Now, we did do a bit of sniffin of his trouser leg, as you do, and we picked up the traces of a woofer we didn't know! We reckon that the B&B he stayed in had a woofer that was friendly towards OTL!

We will have to keep our eye on him!

This morning it was very misty down on The Sea Wall, we could barely see the beach from the wall!

Misty or Wot!

There were some visitors to the UK having a wander around the beach and picking up sea shells, what ever turns you on!

Can we WOOF now?

Holly and I said 'Hello' but we didn't get a reply and when they were talking to each other, we didn't understand what they were saying, so we left them alone to ferret around for some good shells, maybe a whelk shell that Mrs Corvid had left behind after her breakfast!

I was naughty, I found this pile of poo and it was a super sniff, so I had a roll in it!

OTL was not happy with me and I had to have a wash when we got home!

Before we got home, OTL was rushing around with his camera snapping away at the cob webs that were all covered with misty drops of water.

Cob Web.

 Some of them were very pretty but as soon as you touch them, the water all falls off!

Water Jewels!

Well it keeps him busy while we rush around chasing the rabbits! You know it is really difficult chasing rabbits in the mist, one moment they are sitting there, all bold as brass and then 'Poof' they disappear in the mist!

It was such fun that we did the same with OTL, he came chasing after us and we just ran around in circles and disappeared, only to appear behind him with a Woof!

It was still misty at lunch time but the tide was in and we could see the water. OTL was throwing my golf ball for me. It's great fun 'cos it bounces along the Sea Wall and sometimes goes into the grass and other times it flies onto the beach.

Today it was going into the grass, until OTL did one of his 'Special Sneaky Throws' and it bounced along the Sea Wall, onto the steps and bounced off them onto beach and went 'Plop' into the sea!

Where's me ball gone?

Well, I was in like a shot, having a ferret around looking for the ball but it had disappeared. OTL was telling me to get out of the water but I was running in and out collecting sea weed and pretending it was my ball!

A bit further on we spotted a Fisherman, well Holly spotted him first and as normal he got the old 'Hairy Eyeball' treatment and quizzed by Holly on what food he had on him!

Wotcha Got In Here?

Holly was out of luck 'cos he had eaten his sandwiches about an hour before we arrived!

OTL spotted the sun trying to break through the clouds but gave up in the end!

Is that the sun or is the Chimney on Fire?

Off we went again, after another rabbit who was doing the Misty Trick, this time we nearly got him, but he got to his rabbit hole moments before we got there and we could hear him shouting rude rabbit comments from deep underground!

Back home to a rub down with our towel and a snooze on the sofa before dinner. 

Tomorrow we are going to go down The Forest with OTL 'cos we haven't been there all week and the squirrels must be wondering where we have gone to!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Old McTwo Legs is back!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

Oh, are we a right pair of sorry looking puppies today! Yesterday we must have eaten something that tasted good at the time but has bitten us back big time!

Last night after we had spoken to Old Two Legs, we went to bed as normal but Holly said she didn't feel too good. Later on, about eleven thirty, she told The Missus that she just had to go out and then proceeded to get rid of everything in her tummy! About two thirty, it was my turn, Ooo! I did feel rotten!

Around four in the morning both Holly and I had finished feeling really ill and instead felt really tired!

So, we didn't get up until eleven thirty!

Off we went with TM and had a good run down on The Sea Wall where we met up with Tara who we were sure would wow OTL if he was here!

She had those big brown eyes that the Two Legs seem to go for!

Hello, I'm Tara, wanna sniff?

We had a game of 'Chase & Sniff' which we enjoyed 'cos Tara was a bit of a laugh and enjoyed our rough and tumble !

The rest of the day was spent snoozing right up until TM called out 'Dinner Time'!

Down we went and straight into our feeding bowls, you know, Nose Down and Tail Up and only come up for air!

That got us into the 'Snooze Mode' so we had a cuddle with TM on the sofa.

About eight thirty TM got a telephone call, finished the call and said, 'Now, Who wants to see OTL?'

Stupid question!

Holly and I shot over to the front window and sat down waiting for something to happen, then there he was, all unwashed, ugly and outside the front door!

We went potty!

In he came and we reckon it must have been a good fifteen minutes before we let him draw breath!

 He told us all about his time up in Glencoe and some of the things that he and Alun had done, like falling into a bog up to his waist!

We are looking forward to seeing all his pictures but he did let us have this one for the blog!

Glencoe

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
