Old Two Legs and Us on Sunday

Hello Again,

Daisy & Holly here!

We have had a lazy Sunday. Holly and I woke Old Two Legs up at six this morning, we decided that as it was Sunday, he could have a lay in!


OTL took us over the fields this morning, I showed Holly the new rat nests and the Rabbit Holes I've found since she was here last.


There were new smells for her as well. Then we had loads of running around the fields and didn't we get muddy!


During the morning Old Two Legs set up the Compost Bin behind the shed and took a picture of us sniffing around it so he can show The Missus on Christmas Morning just what she had got as a present.


I bet TM will be so pleased with the Compost Bin and the picture, especially as we are in the photo as well!

TM's Christmas Present!

We were wondering just how many other people would get a Compost Bin as a present.


Holly and I have been thinking about this Christmas Thing, and the Pub, Camels and stuff.
We can't make out what it's about at all. 

So, if anyone can tell us what is going on we'd be very pleased to hear from you!

Wild Wild Woods

Hello Again,

Daisy & Holly here!

On Friday when OTL came to pick us up, Holly and I gave him a BPW, (that's a Big Puppy Welcome).

We raced up to him and licked his ears, well, Holly had one ear and I had the other!

Soon we were off with OTL in the car, we left The Missus to guard Holly's house and look after the boys.

We were driving home, singing songs and woofing at the other drivers. Holly and I were also pulling faces and sticking our tongues out as well!

When we got home OTL let us out for a sniff around the garden and afterwards we settled down to mug Old Two Legs for little bits of his Short Bread, he has that with his whisky!

We woke up at five on Saturday morning and Holly wanted a wee, so we both woke OTL with a combined chorus of , 'We Want a WEEEEEE!!!!!!'

He was not a happy OTL that early in the morning! 

Later in the day we went out in the woods on an adventure with OTL and got so muddy that he had to spend half an hour toweling us down before we could get into the car!

A Little Muddy!

We played at Mountain Climbing, I was Hillary and Holly was Tenzing

Tenzing at the Top!

Holly showed me how she can climb trees. She said she learnt it by watching pussy cats when she chased them up trees! 

Pussy Cat Holly!

On the way home we stopped at a Garden Centre, there were loads of trees like the one we've got at home. Look! I said to Holly, we got one like that, but our one twinkles!

OTL took us in, perched on his shoulders, someone said that dogs weren't allowed but he said we weren't dogs, we were his Parrots and tried to get us to say 'Who's a Pretty Girl Then?'

We both said 'Woof', which was near enough for OTL!

He brought a plastic bucket thing he called a 'Compost Bin' and said it was going to be one of TM 'Christmas Presents'

What is this Christmas Present thing? Is it something to do with the camels in the pub?

Kissy Kissy

Daisy & Holly

Holly, Holly, Holly

A Big Hello to you all,

What a day I've had!

I got up rather early today, well somewhere around five in the morning, I just could not sleep any more. I was excited and thinking about Holly and the fun we were going to have with Old Two Legs.

I just had to share it with The Missus, so I did my 'Wake Up' woof and then woofed some more to make sure she heard me.

The Missus did not seem so excited as me, even after I jumped up and gave her a lick on the ear and told her what Holly and I were going to do. She's not very imaginative first thing in the morning!

So, I dodged past her and rushed up stairs, jumped up onto OTL's bed and licked his ear and told him about my plans, he then told me about his plans which included taking my tail away, selling me to the Dogs Home and he said I would be kept on dry biscuits and water for the rest of my life!

He doesn't mean it really, and we had a cuddle before he went back to sleep again!

It wasn't long before OTL went off to see Grandma and TM and I went off to see Holly, well, as we got closer to her house I was getting SO excited, I recognised her street and house and was woofing and whining and jumping about trying to get out of the car before TM had stopped!

Looking for Holly

The car door opened and I rushed to her front door woofing and I could hear her woofing as well! The next couple of hours was a mixed up blur of Holly and me racing around the kitchen and garden, mud, fun and fur.

What a welcome!!!

We puppy's know how to have fun!

See you tomorrow,

Daisy & Holly

Cooking Daisy's Dinner

Hello There,

Daisy is back again!

I had a scare today, me and Old Two Legs were having a game of Tug with my knotted rope toy. He manages to get it off me sometimes and tiggles my tummy with it while I try to grab it, sometimes I roll over trying to get it, great fun and we laugh a lot doing it!

Well there we were playing and The Missus was doing some cooking, she left the pan on the cooker and came in to see what OTL and I doing because we were making such a noise! 

She stood there for a moment and then joined in the fun, a real three way rope Tug. After a while she went back to the kitchen, as she opened the door, smoke billowed out, she yelled FIRE!!! OTL jumped up and ran into the kitchen and closed the door.

Seems the chip pan got too hot! A close call says OTL, it seems that TM does this every so often!

Excitement over for the day, back to sleep and a think about this Twinkling Tree, Three Camels and Mr Snowy.

I think Mr Snowy may be related to the Snow Fairy but he is lasting much longer than the Snow Fairy, unless TM sets fire to him!!

Tomorrow I go to see Holly at her house and then OTL will pick us both up on his way back from Grandma's.

I am getting SO Excited!

Daisy

It's a Good News Day!

Hello Everyone,

Good News!

I've just heard The Missus talking on the telephone and it looks like Holly will be over on Friday to stay for a few days.

Old Two Legs has booked us in for a 'Shampoo & Set' as he calls it, for next week.

Holly and I call it a 'Hair Cut & Wash under the Tail'!

When we come out we look really smart, for a short while, until we go for a run across the fields!

I really look forward to Holly visiting, we have such fun chasing each other around the house. OTL is always playing with us and taking us out for walks.

Maybe Holly knows something about the Twinkling Lights and Mr Snowy and horses and the camels, I must have a chat with her about this.

I've found out some more about the Tree with the Twinkling Lights, I think it is has something to do with a party.

You see, I have been watching TV again and I keep seeing these small stories, adverts I think they're called, where people are visiting each others houses, in the snow, with jingly music and the house has Twinkling Lights and there is a tree inside with Twinkling Lights.

So, I reckon it is a party tree that brings snow and people to your house for a party.

I wonder what would happen if you didn't have a tree, that would that mean you missed out on the snow and couldn't have a party? Mmm, doesn't sound right to me, no tree, no party?

These Two Legs are strange, funny, but, definitely strange!

See you tomorrow!

Daisy.

What is this all about?

Hello, a confused Daisy here,

I've been looking at this tree we got down stairs, the one with the twinkling lights and wonder why Old Two Legs and The Missus have put it up.

Even more, Mr Snowy has me thinking they've really lost it, I mean, Snowy doesn't even woof at the postman!

OTL left the TV on downstairs and someone was telling 'The Christmas Story' to the children. So, I sat in his chair and watched it. Well, it wasn't diner time yet.

That will teach me, I think I am even more confused now. They started off by telling a story that involved kings and some camels, and a moving star going across a sandy desert sky.

I suppose it was a bit like the time when me and OTL saw the International Space Station go across the sky as we went out for our late night walk on the beach. Although, I didn't follow it along the beach and I didn't see any camels!

Then it all got a bit mixed up because I was just starting my second sleep and they were talking about a carpenter on a horse and stopping at a pub for the night. It was the camel in the pub I could not understand, now, anyone knows you can only bring dogs into a pub, the camel has to stay in the stables with the horses. 

The reason horses aren't allowed in pubs, is because they take up too much room at the bar!

It was then that I fell asleep and dreamt that Holly and I were riding horses and chasing camels through the woods.

Maybe tomorrow I'll find out some more!


Bye for now,


Daisy

Sneaky or Wot?

Hello again,

Daisy here. 

You know, us Terriers can be very choosy about which command to obey. 

Such things as 'Walkies! or Daisy, Dinner!' well they get my full and undivided attention and I'm there like a shot.

Other times like when I hear  'come in or stop digging or put that down' well they're hardly worth turning around for.

I was out the front of the house and Old Two Legs was calling me to go indoors, I on the other hand had found a seriously interesting smell, no contest. OTL called again, no response, sniff, sniff!

Sorry, I'm deaf when sniffing!

Then The Missus called out   Holly, Holly, Holly!

Holly? Wot? Is she here?

I raced indoors expecting to see my sister waiting there. Nothing, then I searched all over the house for Holly, even in some of my secret places, I couldn't find her anywhere. 

It was then I realised that TM was just being sneaky!

That TM can be so cruel sometimes! 

Still, Holly is coming over next weekend, or so OTL says.

I can't wait!

Now about this tree thing with the twinkling lights, I'm still not sure what it is, but it looks pretty at night and if I look at it for too long, my eyes go all wobbly!

The lights! The Lights!

I'm going to do some serious listening to what OTL & TM are talking about, not that I'm going to obey them, it's just I want to find out what this tree and Mr Snowy are doing here in the house!

Bye Bye for now!

Daisy

A Strange Sunday

Hi All and a big Hello To PeeJay,

I've had a Strange Sunday, it started off with some noises around half past one in the morning, (well, middle of the night as Old Two Legs likes to say!) I was not sure what is was, but it woke me up and I went into GD (Guard Dog) mode. I started to woof at the noise, very loud, one of my special GD woofs that go on a long time and get louder and longer.

OTL started barking as well, but I think he was barking at me!

It was good to have a midnight bark, but after a while I got bored and drifted off to sleep again, only grumbling every so often, just to let OTL know I was still on Guard Duty. I could hear him grumbling as well, but he does that every time he goes to sleep, The Missus calls it Snoring!

All this fun meant that I was a little tired this morning, so I retired to the 'Day Bed' a little earlier than normal surrounded by my toys and chews.

The Day Bed

There I was, all snoozy and relaxed when OTL crept out of the office, opened the loft hatch and rattled the loft ladder, then rushed up there and stated getting stuff out that I have never seen before. 

The Missus was there, giving him instructions (he says Orders!) on what to get down next.

Soon there was loads of boxes and a tree in bits, everywhere!

TM was fiddling with something she calls Snowy, well, when she finished, I could hardly believe my eyes, it glowed AND moved. I wasn't too sure about this new thing, so I gave it a woof and a grumble just to let him know who was in charge!

Snowy

OTL put the tree together and hung little lights all over it, and they all twinkled!

Then TM started to hang balls and other stuff all over the tree and she warned me that I was not to touch them!

I'm not sure what this is all about but they both seem in a happy mood, so it must be good!

I'll let you know what happens.

Bye for now,

Daisy

The Snow Fairy is not very well!

Hello Everyone,

Old Two Legs and I went out early this morning and things have changed.


For a start, the wind was not as cold as it has been. The snow did not stick to my fur in balls like it has done.

I've had a look at the snow and it seems to be changing to water! 

I don't think the Snow Fairy likes the warm weather and is fading into the earth. 

Sad really but OTL says she will come back again when the winds turn cold again.


On the walk this morning I got OTL to pick me up to play at Pirates again but I changed my mind and played Shackleton instead, looking for Icebergs on the River Thames!

I see no Icebergs!

Because the snow is going away, OTL decided not to go out looking for snow covered trees, instead he stayed in and cleared up his office.


I now have trouble finding my chews, he has put them somewhere, TIDY!!!!

The Missus was supposed to go out today with her mate Sheila and make cards at Karen's house. 

That would mean OTL and I could lay around the house and eat biscuits all day and watch TV.


No such luck, Karen has got a cold so Sheila and TM spent all day in our house making a mess with the ink and glitter and bits of peel off...................they are SO messy!

OTL and I spent all day in his office, tidying it up, snoozing and watching football on the TV.

Well, that's what Saturday's are for!


See you soon.


Daisy

Feeding the Birds

Morning All!

Old Two Legs and The Missus are all right really.

I get looked after and they also have been putting out stuff for the birds.

I just love to sit by the window and watch all the birds come down to the feeders.

Birdwatching in the Warm!

We get loads of Goldfinches with the red patch on their heads, they go mad for the Niger Seed. I've tried a taste of the stuff but it gets stuck in my teeth!

The Blue Tits and Great Tits are potty for the peanuts in the feeders and the fat balls. OTL has seen Long Tailed Tits and Coal Tits in the garden, but not since the snow arrived.

We've even got a Blue Tit sleeping overnight in one of the bird boxes, I know this 'cos there is a camera in the box and I can see it on the TV in OTL's office.

Who's sleeping in my Box?

 I've seen a Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Collared Doves, Wood Pigeons, Dunnock's, Robins, Chaffinch, Green Finch, Wren, Blackbird, Starling and even a seagull (Black Headed Gull).

Phew! That's a lot of birds! And they all come to eat the food OTL and TM put out.


We get a lot of Starlings in the garden, a right bunch of Hooligans they are, if they are not chasing the other birds off the feeders, they are fighting among themselves! A quick 'Woof' from me soon sorts them out though.


Well, you've got to keep them on good behaviour or TM won't put out any more food.


That's why I am such a good puppy!


Bye for now, have a good weekend, I'm out with OTL on Saturday, trying to photograph snow on trees.


I wonder where we'll find them!


Daisy


P.S.Don't forget the food and a drink of water for the birds!
