We Investigate Snowflakes Holiday Home!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here.

The Missus was off good and early this morning, getting all set up for her Master Class at the village hall. We had to take her up there in the big car 'cos there was loads of stuff she needed.

Holly reckons that a pot of glue and some glitter is all they really need, the rest is for show!

As we did the early run for TM, that meant Old Two Legs was early taking us for our morning stroll and Snowflake had to wait until we got back before her house cleaning was done!

Down on The Sea Wall we were having our normal 'Ball Chasing Game' and Holly came up with a super idea. Normally OTL throws the ball and we chase but this time when OTL threw the ball we picked it up and threw it down onto the beach! Down would go OTL and pick up the ball and throw it for us, one of us would run up, collect the ball and roll it off the wall onto the beach, OTL would have to go and fetch it!

We carried on until OTL gave up and stood there looking at us and realising that we have been having him on! We both laughed so much and we both called him a 'Bozo' for chasing and fetching the ball!
OTL's A Bozo!
 It was about then that Oscar and Max came trotting around the corner and we told them about the joke we had played on OTL!


Did he really fall for that?
Oscar couldn't believe that OTL would get caught like that 'cos he thinks OTL is wonderful, but only 'cos OTL tickles his tail and makes him laugh!

Max thought that we were making it all up but thought it was a good wheeze and he may try it on his owner when they get their second walk of the day!

Was he really that daft to fall for it?
We had a mooch around and showed Max and Oscar a sniff we had found yesterday, Max said that it sniffed like an old boot, interesting but not really anything to go wild about!

We found this one yesterday!
Off we went and went back home for some beef breakfast! After we finished breakfast, OTL had been up with Snowflake cleaning her house and having a game with her. It's the game that involves OTL pinching her squeaky toys and Snowflake finding them, then stashing them in her carry cage!

When all that was done, OTL says 'Brrrm, Brrrm and holds up his car keys. Now this means we are invited out for a drive  in the car, which is something we are always up for!

It was then that I remembered we were off to see Snowflakes hotel where she will stay when we go on holiday.

We got there and Holly noticed that it was called Purple Paws Hotel! OTL went with the lady to see what it was like and came back, pleased with what he saw. He said it had a place where he Snowy Heights could go and there was a Hot Tub and Jacuzzi there for Snowflake to use! Also there was a Solarium and a room with some Gym equipment for her to use if she fancies a work out!

Holly says that if they took dogs she might consider staying there herself!

Back home we told Snowflake all about it and she said that she thinks she may be comfortable staying there for a while but we got to promise to send her a postcard saying how we were doing!

Lunchtime we dropped into see TM in the village hall and got a fuss made of us by the lady's who were there. We didn't get any nibbles at all, just inky hands stroking our backs!

Back to The Sea Wall and we met Eric and Lady and her sister.


Hello young ladies!
Eric was saying how when he was younger he was kept outside in the garden for the first three years of his life and now he won't go in the garden after it gets dark 'cos he thinks he will get left out there!
 
When I was Pup...........
He had a cuddle with OTL and said that he would look out for him when he visits again!


As we headed off we saw Bryn sniffin around, so we stopped and said hello. He showed us a trick he had worked out, if he sat up on his tail he would get a nibble. Holly said that we try that but as we are all on a diet we never got any!

Look, Gissa Nibble Missus!
 There were fishermen sitting on the Sea Wall waiting for the tide to come in. It looked funny seeing them all ready and no water to fish in!

Waiting for the water!
While the water was coming in we saw a couple of Hover Craft that went whooshing around the mud and over the water. It made a load of noise and went back and forth along the beach, Holly said that the driver was just showing off!

Hover Craft or Hover Fly?
TM got back late afternoon and said that she was worn out and that she was going to have an early night. That means she will be up early tomorrow, thumping around the place waking everyone up!

Not sure what is planned for tomorrow, maybe another walk for Snowflake in the garden or even in the park, it just depends on the weather!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

A Flying Barney and a Lonely Wormy Man!

Hi Woofers!

It's us, Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back on Fun Friday!

The Missus was up early, getting all the stuff ready for the Saturday Master Class, so that means everyone else has to be awake as well and that includes Snowflake as well!

We all tried to go back to sleep but TM still carried on marching up and down the stairs and opening draws and cupboards!

So, that means Snowflake gets her house cleaned early and we go for a walk early as well!

Mind you, Snowflake did say that if TM came into the office while she was having a ferret around, she would chase her all around the room and down stairs!

I'm coming for you!
Down on The Sea Wall, the tide was out, so that means the Wormy Men should all be out there digging holes, but today, there was only one lonely looking Wormy Man digging for all he was worth!
The Lone Wormy Man
Looking across to Sheerness was a sight, the sun had got up but not far enough to loose it's morning colours.

A sort of Changeable Weather Day today!
We climbed up to the top of the hill and there, in the distance, standing there, giving us the 'Hairy Eyeball' was Barney. Now I'm not sure if he has had his eyes tested lately but he didn't recognise us, so we all stood there staring at each other!

Who's Dat?
He would only walk towards us when his owner walked by his side, that was until Old Two Legs called out 'Baaarney' and that was it, down the path he came at the speed of light!

Hi Girlie's!
Hey, says Barney, 'Look, I have just learnt how to Fly!'

Look, I'm Flying!
Here I go 'cos I can do it this way as well!

Look, a Ninety Degree Turn!
We left him to his new game and went off with OTL 'cos he was throwing the ball and we had our morning joke. That is where he shows me the ball and I woof at him to throw it!

Come on, Throw IT!
Back home we had Doggy Scoff but this was a new one that OTL had got from the Doggy Shop, it was Duck & Chicken and didn't taste too bad, so we had some before we got our morning brush!

Lunch time we went off to the New Park again and had a great time. We were woofin and sniffin all the way around the park.

A Crafty Sniff!
In the end we had almost run our legs off and I was feeling a little tired. Holly was feeling it also and although she hadn't done as much running as me, she still was feeling worn out!

OK, lets go home now!
As we got closer to the car, Holly looked at OTL and asked.......

......are we there yet?

 Back home to finish off the Doggy Scoff and have a snooze before our evening snooze!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Sunshine

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again on a super sunny day!

First of all a Big Woofin 'Hello' to Pauline who has been brave enough to let us know she is a 'Follower' of this Blog!

I mean, what's wrong with reading the thoughts of a three year old little doggy!

Unless your a cat, now a cat, they wouldn't be seen anywhere near my blog!

We were up a bit earlier this morning and Old Two Legs managed to get out a bit quicker than normal. It was all down to Snowflake being woken up by The Missus who walked into the office going 'Cooeee! Snowflake, are you awake yet?'

As Snowflake said, 'I wasn't but I am now!'

So that means OTL can get inside to do the house cleaning and Snowflake can get out for an early slurp of Ferretone and a run around the office while OTL is poo shovelling!

One of the good things about ferrets is that they are very clean animals, they always poo in the same spot, (unless the poo pile gets too high!) and they are obsessive  'Tidy Uppers!'

She is always running out, grabbing her toys and hiding them away in her 'Hidy Holes'.

This morning she hit the big one!

OTL was clearing up, Snowflake was running around, OTL left the Ferretone on the floor with a drop inside the flip type cap.

Snowflake had her lick and then managed to shut the cap down. Then she 'Tidied Up' the Ferretone and dragged the bottle off into her cardboard box where all the toys were stashed.

It was ages before OTL found the bottle!

Down on The Sea Wall we met up with Mrs Corvid who was mooching around looking for some breakfast. She said that the choice of sea food always gets bad during the Winter Time. Holly suggested that she might like to have a bit of Two Legs food, like Beef Burgers which really weren't beef but instead horse.

Mrs Corvid said that she couldn't do that 'cos she may be eating someone she had known!

No Neddies for me thank you!
I found some strange smelling stuff on the path, I jus' couldn't work out what it was, Holly says it might be Weasel or even a Stoat!

I asked how she knew that?

She said that a Weasel poo was Weasly recognised but a Stoat's is Stoatally different!

Watssis?

Oh No, I hear you groan, you should have heard what OTL said later.
We were walking along and he stopped, looked at us and said,

'Hey, you two, what should you put on your beef pie?'

'Dunno, what do you put on your beef pie?' we said

£5 each way, Boom Boom!

He is getting worse as he gets older!

Back in the car Holly noticed that the water bowl was missing and said that had she known it wasn't in the car, she would have had a drink from the puddle back down the path!

Oi! Where's me Water Bowl?
OTL gave us both a rub down with the towel to dry off but I was still a bit damp and slightly chilly, so, I looked at OTL and asked if I could have a cuddle on his lap until I warmed up!

I could really do with a cuddle!
He called me a wimp, but I still got my cuddle before we set off back home!

Lunch time we went down The New Park and the sun was shining but there was a slight breeze, which added to the balmy feel of the day, Spring is just around the corner!

Holly said that on days like this it really makes you feel good!

Feeling Good!
OTL and I were playing 'Chase The Ball', well I chased it and then he chased me to get the ball back! Holly was just enjoying the chat with the other dogs as we strolled along in the sun shine.

Holly said that just two days ago when we came here there was snow everywhere and just look at it now!
No Snow, just sunshine and showers!
There was one Spaniel and his owner enjoying a breather at the top of the hill and a bask in the sunshine!

Just having a breather girls, just a breather!
Not sure what we are doing tomorrow, maybe it will be sunny and we can go down the park again. I know that on Saturday we, that is Holly, Me and OTL are off to have a look at a Pet Hotel where Snowflake will stay when we go on holiday later this year.  Before booking her in OTL wants to make sure she will be happy and comfortable there and also if she can have her own cage, which you know is enormous! It's a pity we can't take Snowflake with us but OTL says she is not yet fully trained to go out visiting.

Holly says that it will be hard training a ferret to walk to heel, lets face it, we don't, unless OTL gets all 'Stroppy'!

Friday tomorrow and then the weekend!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Back to work for OTL and Snowflake has fun!

Hello all you Woofers out there!

Daisy & Holly & Snowflake back with you.

Wot a super day today, well most of it has been!

We were up early this morning and went out to find the pond was frozen! We could tell it was frozen 'cos when we tried to have a drink we just got a cold tongue!

It was a good walk this morning. First of all Old Two Legs spotted a Dunlin that he says was suffering from 'Horizontal Hold' problems!


What's Horizontal Hold?
 Then we bumped into a young Alsatian, she was only ten months old but you could see she was going to be a real looker when she gets older!

She was a bit nervous and wasn't too sure about OTL's camera!

Wassat?
 Then she got really worried, 'Look' she said, 'I can see a doggy in the window!'

I had to explain that she was looking at her own reflection in the camera glass! However, she still didn't seem to get it so in the end we let it go, I mean, there is such a thing as Too Much Information!

 When we got home we saw that in one picture of her eye, you could see OTL and the sun behind him!

There's OTL as well!
 We left her to carry on our walk and as we got to the top of the hill, there bounding along and calling our names was Barney!

He had his Bozo Mate with him, the one who thinks OTL is wonderful!


Helloooo Gillies!
 We all had a chase around and I got a bit worried when the Labrador got a bit too excited and I had to do my 'Warning Woof' just to let them know I was not happy!

Holly of course just charged around with them woofing and running and running and woofing!

Holly having a woofing good chase!
 It wasn't long before we were joined by the Staffy from down near the car park, carrying  her ball of course and also looking like a Bozo!

Wooza Bozo?
 Back home to a bowl of Doggy Scoff! Not our sort of breakfast thank you, we would rather have had chicken or beef steak or even some horse chops!

Holly has just looked over my shoulder to read wot I have said about her and she says that she would say 'neigh' to Horse Meat!

Oh, she is such a Wag sometimes!

OTL had to go out at lunch time to do some work so we stayed with The Missus who was preparing her stuff for the 'Master Class' this weekend.

We missed OTL while he was out but early evening he was back to a good 'Hello' lick from both Holly and me!

Then it was up stairs to see Snowflake and have a chat with her, then OTL let her out for a run around. She was playing with her squeaky toys and OTL was hiding them so she had to hunt for them. One time he did such a good job that she had to ask where they were and can she have them please!

Come on, please let me have my toys!
 She is very funny when she is chasing around trying to hide all her toys from OTL but he always seems to find them!


Now, where do I hide this one?
You see when OTL is playing with Snowflake he is having great fun and so is she. But, he is always very careful to keep his hands away from Snowflake's teeth!

Gently does it Snowflake!
 Snowflake has been sitting on OTL's lap and licking the Ferretone Bottle Cap into which OTL puts a drop and Snowflake says that it is the best bit of the day. Now we find that a bit strange 'cos during the day OTL gives her loads of 'drops' in that cap and she says that all of them are 'The Best Bit of The Day!'

It must be super having so many 'Best Bits!'

Bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

When is Spring going to start?

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back to see you!

There was a cold wind blowing this morning, it was blowing off the sea and made my tail sing! Even Old Two Legs kept his hood up for protection!

Holly got the pickle into her and was rushing around like a puppy!

Wheeeeeeeeeee!
 I reckon she is getting too much carrot in her diet and that's getting some funny results!

Look! One Legged Paw Stand!
She started off by bouncing along on one paw!

Then it was a quick Tap Dance just to show off how slim and fit she is!

A Tap Dancing Doggy!
Then it all clicked into place, she was trying to impress OTL on how much weight she had lost and now she really didn't need to be on a diet and can she now have the chews and the shortbread and the extra helping of my dinner, Pleeeeease?

Even OTL ain't that daft!

Bad Luck Sis, but it was a good try!
Back home to a good plate of Lambs Liver and biscuits and a snooze while OTL gives Snowflake some 'Quality Time'. You know she isn't trying to bite him so often, or maybe it's that he has got better at reading her movements! 

Today she was on his lap, on her back, licking the Ferretone bottle cap while he tickled her tummy!

It was funny to watch 'cos she screwed up her back paws like we do when OTL tickles our tail!

Lunch time we went out to pick up some stuff and then went onto The New Park! Now, we haven't been down there for ages, so it was a case of catching up with all the sniffs!

There was a big Pup who was ball chasing and then he wanted to chase Holly and me, we weren't having any of that and we woofed him off straight away!
  
Go on! Woof Off you Hooligan!
We went all the way around and said hello to The Watchers who looked like they had got new dresses!
The Watchers looking Good!
OTL spotted a Kestrel sitting on a fence post, it looked a bit fed up with the weather and was looking for some dinner!


You are disturbing the wild life, clear OFF!
You could tell he didn't want OTL clicking away with the camera and disturbing the mouses, so he told OTL to clear off, pity OTL can't speak Kestrel!

This is just TOO MUCH!
That's the trouble with OTL, not enough interest in speaking another language!


I happened to find a real super sniff, in fact it was so good, I just had to have a roll in it!

Big problem!

OTL saw me.

I was branded a Smelly Nelly and Holly even called me a Pooie Pup!
 
What? Me?
When we got home I was given a wash all over, it was horrid, I hate having water sloshed under my tummy!

Mind you, that shampoo stuff, it pongs worse than OTL's sneakers!


See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly and Snowflake

Another Busy Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back with you.

Well, first thing this morning we went trooping down stairs with The Missus and got let out into the back garden.

The Snow Fairy had visited over night!

It wasn't very deep and it looked rather wet and sloshy and to be honest, we've seen better!

Soggy, Soggy, Soggy!
We got dragged out for our morning walk but half way around Holly did her famous 'Stuff This For a Walk' and headed for home with her tail in the air!

Stuff this, I'm off!


Followed closely by me then Old Two Legs!

It was YUK!

Back to a good rub down and a breakfast of Chicken and Biscuits!

Snowflake got let out and as normal, ran amok in OTL's office and at one time was chasing him and pretending she was going to bite him! She didn't, it was just her way of having fun at OTL's expense!

Lunch Time came and out we went again, it was still raining and the snow was disappearing fast, leaving the ground all wet and very soggy!

This is still wet and soggy! 

 We were trotting along behind OTL when I looked up and caught OTL's eye, I asked.......




...........are you Really enjoying this?

Holly managed to spook a couple of rabbits but she was too far away to catch them!

Back home to another rub down and off for a snooze in the office and a chat with Snowflake about what we have been doing!

We told her about the folded snow we had seen on OTL's car, it was the first time we had seen snow like that!

Strange Snow!
OTL left us on our own this afternoon, well, alone with TM anyway!

When he came back, he tried creeping in the front door but we heard him and we set up a woofing while he was scratching the bottom of the door, so with him scratching and us woofing we had a good laugh before he got through the door!

Tonight we are expecting Snowflake to be up for a chase around the office, if she can stay awake!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake
