Miss Snowflake has a Tinkle on a Grey Day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles back again!

Now, first of all, for the benefit of Mr Peterc who has shown amazement that the ferrets didn't get first dibs at Old Two Legs new boots.

Have you no faith in the inquisitiveness of ferrets?

OK Watssis Hole? Sniffs Really Rubbery!

And this is before OTL picked up the packing material inside the box!

We played a joke on Miss Snowflake this morning when we were on the beach. You see, she had sneaked off for a wee and couldn't find her favourite rock, so, she sort of hung onto some sea weed and swung her but over the edge!

Then she said that she could hear water tinkling like a tap had been left on and who was doing it and would they turn the tap off!

Wossat Tinkling Sound?

 Well, we all sussed what it was straight away but we kept straight faces and said we couldn't hear a thing!

No, no tinkling sound here!

Of course, as soon as she had finished, the tinkling finished! Then she spent the next ten minutes searching for the source of the Tinkle!

I bet it is that Slimy Thing doing it!

Of course, we just had to move up the beach 'cos we were all laughing our tails off!

What a Bozo she is sometimes!

Back home it was Chicken and Biscuits followed by a snooze while OTL and The Missus was clearing the lounge of stuff ready for the plasterer to arrive tomorrow to repair the ceiling, prior to the decorator coming to redecorate the lounge. There will be loads of mess everywhere but TM is sneaking off to a 'Weekend Retreat' of Glue & Glitter sloshing but this time she is doing the demonstrating!

We are going to have some fun while she is away!

Lunchtime arrived and off we went down the beach again, it was cold, grey and damp and OTL didn't wear his boots today!

When we got down to the car park there was an enormous CamperTruck parked up!

Now I know it can get a bit muddy sometimes down on the Sea Wall but that was over doing it a bit!

That says 'We Do Deep Puddles'!

The tide was in and had washed some of the stones right up the beach leaving some old canvas bags full of sand. Holly reckoned it would be a good idea for us to take a couple home with us but OTL said there was not enough room for the sacks and us!

Well, we didn't fancy walking home, so the bags stayed!

Can we take them home?

 Looking across the river we couldn't see Sheerness! You could tell it was a Really Grey Day'!

Is there anyone there?

 Back at the car park, the CamperTruck was still there and you know what? It even had a a winch on the front and it looks like it was mechanically powered from the engine rather than an electric motor! Serious stuff or wot?

Light Weight CamperTruck!

 OTL was looking at it and reckons it would be great for some 'Wild Camping' in Scotland! But in North Kent?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

OTL's Got New Boots!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

It was a bit chilly this morning, not the sun shine and balmy breezes of yesterday!

I must admit, if I could have got in the bag with the ferrets then I would have!

Mr Brambles looked at the morning sky and said 'Red Sky in the Morning, Ferret Take Warning!'

He reckons it is going to rain soon!

A Ferrets Warning?

 Miss Snowflake was behind the rock again but was concerned that Mr Brambles was peeking at her!

Honest! I'm not peeking!

Of course, Holly and I kept calling out 'He's Peeking!'

Miss Snowflake had some fun climbing over the sea weed and of course, she landed up in the wet bit!

This looks like a Soggy Bit

We were having fun when Holly spotted a strange looking thing on the sea wall. OTL said it was a 'Mermaids Purse'. We thought he was having a laugh but it seems like he was right, it is the egg sack for a Skate or even a Shark!

Holly said she hoped it was a Skate 'cos she didn't fancy sharks swimming around our beach!

Mermaids Purse!

On our way back to the car a new young woofer came steaming along the path he took one look at the camera and said that he could see another woofer, then he said 'Wossyourname?' then turned around and ran off before OTL could answer!

Wossyourname?

Back home we had some fun chasing around the house and both ferrets were climbing all over the stuff in The Missus's card room, of course that soon made them tired with all the climbing up the shelves!

Mr Brambles retired to his bed and snoozed like wot only a ferret can!

This is good!

It was just before lunchtime when the delivery man knocked on the door with OTL's new Wellington Boots!

So, after checking them out for fit, he had to find a chunky pair of socks to pad them out a little.

Then we went out for the lunchtime walk, in The Forest'!

Well, that was the soggiest place we knew!

OTL's New Boots!

 It was fun watching him sploshing about in the mud like a little TL!

 We finally spotted a squirrel digging up some nuts for dinner!

Just collecting my Dinner!

 After spotting one we then kept a good watch out for another, but unfortunately we didn't even get a sniff of one!

And I nearly fell off the log!

This is getting Slippy!

 OTL was pointing out that the leaves were almost gone from the trees, so, it should be easier to spot those squirrels in the trees.

That is providing they have woken up from their winter snoozing!

Last of the leaves!

 Half way around the forest we came across this fungi that was getting rained upon! You can tell it was raining 'cos there were drips hanging from the cap!

Dripping!

Back home to have a snooze before dinner. Not too sure what OTL has for dinner but we are planning to give him a good mugging!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr (Snoozy) Brambles.

Is That The Sun We See?

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

You know, when Old Two Legs gets going with his camera, it is amazing just how many shots he takes. Look at today, it was sunny this morning, chilly but sunny. Lunchtime we were down the forest looking for fungi and in all he took one hundred and seventy shots!

OTL says that is the wonder of digital 'cos in the OLD DAYS, which he knows all about, he used to take photographs on a film camera with twenty four or thirty six shots per roll of film and he would only look at taking just one shot of each subject, unlike today, he was taking four or five shots of the same thing but at different angles, depending on the sun etc.

Also, digital doesn't cost you anything where as film cost money to get processed and then printed onto paper!

Lucky OTL, photography has gone down in price!

This morning we were down on the beach and the first photo he took of Holly and me, I had the choice of ten pictures to put on the blog!

This is the one I chose!

One of Ten!

On the beach Miss Snowflake headed for her favourite rock and didn't say anything about the paper!

That's better!

Mind you, after she has finished, there is just one thing on her mind............

Back to the Bag!

OTL emptied her out when he got to the Sea Wall and took this photo. Now, you have just got to work out if she is 'Going Down' a step or 'Climbing up Backwards' or even 'Going up Forwards'!

Answers on a Ten Pound Note please!

OTL spent most of the morning on the computer and making stuff that he had to get down to the carrier. Now, going to the carrier means we get to go to The Forrest!

Holly and I were looking for squirrels and OTL was looking for Fungi!

First Fungi 10" diameter!

This was a 'Huge Fungi' that we almost fell over! We were keeping our eyes open for some of those Fly Things, you know, the ones with red caps with white spots and fairies sit on them!

I see no Fairies, just OTL!

The whole forest was full of fungi, loads of it we had seen before, like the puff balls and little parasol type but we did see these again  and they looked prettier than last time!

Climbing up the trunk!

Talk about climbing up a trunk, Holly was doing her best to spot squirrels and fungi, so to make sure she got a good view, she spent a lot of time climbing up trees!

No Squirrels but I see a Fungi!

This one she found was a sort of Faded Purple Rose colour which we hadn't seen before, so that was another first for OTL!

Faded Purple Rose Colour

Talking of firsts, OTL has only ever come up with a Stag Horn Fungi on a field trip he took last year and the fungi was a very rich yellow and dark orange colour. You should have seen him getting excited about finding a White Stag Horn Fungi in our woods!

A White Stag Horn Fungi!

While OTL was celebrating his good luck, there was a mighty crashing in the forest and this Bozo came rushing up to us with a tree trunk in his mouth. He put it at OTL's feet and woofed at him to 'Throw The Stick'!

OK, now we know that OTL will always join in the fun but we reckon that if he threw it, the Bozo would get to it before it landed and might get a whack on the head for his trouble!

Aw! Come on Throw The Stick!

You know, there are Bozo's and there are 'Right Bozo's' and we reckon this was a Right Bozo!

Coming to the end of our walk OTL hid from the sun behind a tree and took this photo, not bad, but he has taken better!

Autumn in The Forest.

 Before we got to the last gate, there it was, in amongst the fallen tree trunks, a super fine bunch of fungi.

Holly said it was just as good as the first one we saw when we came in, except it was a different type of fungi and it had a buttery colour as well!

The Last Fungi!

Back home OTL headed for the computer and typed in 'Lined Wellington Boots'!

He has finally got fed up with walking through muddy puddles in his boots and now will be striding along in his 'Farmer Wellies', when they arrive!

We just hope he doesn't try walking through puddles that turn out to be small ponds that are deeper than his wellies!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Soggy Sunday!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Well, Wot a Day!

It started this morning when The Missus got up really early to get all her stuff together for a day of demonstrating more of her techniques!

We set off with Old Two Legs for our morning walk and this time we went in the Big Car 'cos TM pinched the Little Car!

Nice bouncy seats, no rattles and if we want, heated seats!

We got to the car park and it was pouring down, well enough rain was coming down to convince OTL to leave his camera and his hat in the car!

The ferrets were OK 'cos they were in the Ferret Bag, all dry and warm! Holly and I jogged along with our rain coats on mumbling about our wet noses!

The ferrets were emptied out of the bag and I've never seen them both do their stuff and head back to the bag so quickly!

Back home it was 'Cleaning Day' so OTL was busy with the vacuum cleaner all around Snowy Heights. Mr Brambles was right put out 'cos OTL wouldn't let him back into his sleeping bag until the whole thing had been cleaned!

Then we all enjoyed a snooze while OTL went back to the video editing!

Come lunchtime we were back out down the Sea Wall and guess what?

Yep! Still raining!

In fact it was a case of a 'Quick wee and Back to the Car'!

The rest of the afternoon was spent watching F1 Racing and Lewis winning the championship!

So, sorry about the photos or lack of them and also the laptop went into 'Wobble Mode' and is presently going through 'Repairs' before OTL can get to the video's again!

Poor Lad, he is not having the best of it at the moment!

See you all tomorrow!

Licks to Lucy!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

OTL has got a Head Ache!

Hi Woofers!

Us back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Well, today has been 'Interesting'!

First of all, thanks to Sue who sent a couple of pages of 'Doggy Recipes'!

There was Apple & Cheese Treats, we just love Gorgonzola Cheese!

Then there is Chilly Con Carne with Kidney Beans, Holly had some of Old Two Legs Chilly one time and suffered with terrible wind. No, to be correct, we all suffered from Holly who had the 'Windies'!

We have given the recipes to The Missus to try out on OTL first!

 Down on the beach today Miss Snowflake managed to find a place that she considered was 'Private' enough!

Where's the paper?

 Mr Brambles kept following us around the beach trying out our sniffs!

Wotcha Got Girls?

I must say, the weather was all sort of grey looking and we spotted a Wormy Man out on the mud, Holly says that it must be a very lonely job!

Lonely Saturday for the Wormy Man!

Back home we watched a bit of F1 on the TV then OTL went off to do some 'Editing' of the videos for TM.

It was not a good day for OTL, 'cos the camera saves the film as a .pvbve file which is peculiar to the Canon Camcorder and of course, Yoo Toob accepts .wmv files. So trying to get them converted from one to the other is causing him some problems!

The editing program he got with the camera is not very OTL friendly so OTL has been spending some time 'Talking' to the  Program and The Computer and The Screen and The Keyboard!

He was trying to up load at one time using TM's account on Google and he got blocked from Google at one point which didn't improve his temper and only increased his word count!

Poor OTL, you know we had to take him out for an early afternoon walk 'cos he was too late for the lunchtime walk!

Down on the beach he played tricks on Holly and me by hiding behind the break water!

OK, where has he gone?

Then he would poke his head around the corner and say 'Boo!'

A big Bozo woofer came along the Sea Wall while we were playing 'Chase' along the beach and said that we making too much noise!

I said that if he came down onto the beach we would 'Sort Him Out!'

Yeah, come down here and say that Bozo Chops!

 So, he did! I legged it back to OTL and left Holly to sort him out, which she did with one of her big Woofs!

Woof Off You Bozo!

 And he did!

We had a laugh about that and headed off down the beach again when we noticed that OTL wasn't with us!

He's gone again!

He was playing his game again! Mind you, he couldn't get away from us 'cos he is too big and too slow!

Back home to where OTL spent some more time in the 'Editing Suite' and in the end he said that his 'Head was Hurting' and he was going to leave it all until tomorrow!

We have decided that OTL should stick to his normal camera and leave the films to Spielberg!

See you all tomorrow!

Keep yer Tail Up Lucy!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Lucy has a Problem!!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

You know, there is a saying these Two Legs have and it goes like this.........

'There is always someone worse off than you!'

Well, normally I would say that wasn't the case if you are the puppy that has more brothers and sisters than mummy has teats!

But we have just got word from Lucy, and well, I mean, how could you do this to a doggy?

Vogue it 'aint'!

Now, we know that the vet has told Lucy that she has to keep warm 'cos the pills she is taking to help get rid of her lumps makes her more sensitive to the cold, but, just look at that jumper!

I mean, just think what her Street Cred would be if she met one of her mates down the park, dressed like that!

Her TL should be ashamed of herself!

Now, a nice big chunky knit jumper with a roll neck and an elasticated strap to keep it from running up her back legs would be acceptable but Pink & Green Hoops?

This morning on our walk we came across a balloon thingy that had landed on the path. Holly said that if I sniffed it where the hole was my woof would go squeaky!

Well, you know me, anything for a laugh!

I had a sniff but my woof stayed just as it normally does, so, bang goes Holly's theory!

OK, where is the hole?

Down on the beach the ferrets were dancing about the sea weed and climbing over the rocks.

Mr Brambles was playing 'Space Ferret' and kept on saying ' One small step for a ferret, one giant leap for me!'

One small step!

Holly and I were having a great time racing up and down the beach pretending we were F1 Racing Cars!

Brrrrm, Brrrm!

Miss Snowflake was trying to find somewhere private to have a poo but OTL was playing about with his camera again!

Do you mind! What does a  Girl have to do to get a bit of Privacy!

Back home we got Pigs Liver and biscuits waiting for us and we had a nibble 'cos we aren't used to Pigs Liver, a bit stronger taste than Lambs Liver!

 Lunch time we went out again and you know what? Nothing, no one, just us!

No One!

Maybe it's getting too cold for them all!

Talking of cold, we are going to ask The Missus to put a call out on the 'Face Ache' for a Chunky Knit Jumper for Lucy, poor thing, she just can't go out in that and hold her tail up high!

You think you have problems?

Another thing, TM has finished her video thingy on Brusho Glue & Glitter demos on How to Slap it About! So, OTL now has to 'Edit' it to take out all the rude words he said when he stubbed his foot claw on the desk!

It may take a little while before he gets it all done but there will be four films in all, you lucky lot!

See you tomorrow and don't forget to get out your knitting needles to save 'Lucy's Street Cred'!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Have we got a Diva or Wot!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here again!

Now, there has been a security leak on the thing Old Two Legs calls Flace Block! It seems that someone has let out that The Missus is doing some video on how to slosh paint and glitter and glue all over cards to get an 'Impressionist' result.

It's a bit like OTL and his Ethereal Mushrooms!

Well, there was no mention of it when we went out for our morning walk. Every thing as normal, sniffs, wee's and a poo in the long grass!

Holly found a ball and we chased that for a while, until the next sniff came up!

Hey! Look! I Gotta Ball!

Down on the beach there was another Ethereal Morning for OTL to snap away at!

You'd think he would get fed up with photographing the same thing every morning!

Another Ethereal Morning!

We all had a run up and down the beach and Miss Snowflake was having fun chasing Mr Brambles and she kept licking his ear!

Of course, that drove him mad and he kept rolling onto his back every time she started on his ear!

Go on lad or I'll bite yer Tail!

Back home we had Lambs Heart and TM actually drizzled some gravy over the meat and biscuits, just like OTL does!

What's she after?

Well, the morning passed and nothing untoward happened, OTL went out to deliver a parcel and then it was lunchtime!

On the Sea Wall we saw these woofers walking towards us. As they got nearer they started to bark, and bark, and bark, AND BARK!

I've never heard such a lot of noise coming from such little woofers!

They were yapping so much that they didn't even tell us their names!

Holly gave them names, Squirt and Squiggle!

Though we were not sure who was Squirt and who was Squiggle!

Squirt & Squiggle

Back home and it started.

OTL got out all the lights and tripods and video camera and the whole place was turned up side down as the lounge was transformed into a film set!

Well, the first video went off OK, after take 26!

Then we started to work on the next two.

Well, this lot was supposed to be all about Brusho Paints and how to use them.  TM can use them with no real problem. Trouble is, she can't talk and make cards at the same time or even keep to the script!

We had tantrums, shouting, brushes thrown up in the air, cards thrown in the rubbish bag and TM holding her head and shouting 'The Gods are Against Me'!

Holly and I thought she was just showing off 'cos she was rushing it too much!

It didn't help when OTL asked if she would like more time to learn how to do it properly!

What she said she was going to do with his head was physically impossible, we think!

So, in the end we only had one demo 'In the Can' and tomorrow we will start again!

Holly says that we should all be wearing 'Hard Hats' just in case she starts throwing things about if she gets another strop on!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
