A day with The Missus

A very good morning to you all!

Daisy & Holly back again!

We've been out walking with Old Two Legs and as normal, he has been snapping away with the camera. However, we didn't know he was taking our pictures as we were heading down the road to home.

So, Holly and I have a small competition for you.

Guess who is who, no prizes, unless you want one of my old chews!

Who is Who?

OTL went to see Grandma again today so we stayed all day with The Missus. She spent most of the time wrapping presents. We had fun trying to guess what was in the boxes. There was some seriously funny smells!

OTL came back and was then instructed to do loads of stuff around the house, sort of clearing up. Then he had to put a cloth on the dining table and knife & fork and stuff.

We wondered what was going on but then remembered, we got Miffy & Karen coming over for a pre 'Christmas Bash'. We don't mind because they have the whiff of Pussy Cat about them.

They've got two Pussy Cats from the local rescue centre and have given them a warm home.

These cats have their own special door to the garden, it opens when they walk up to the door, posh or wot?

We have to bark and shout to OTL & TM before we can go out. I wonder if it's too late to get a door like that for us?

See you tomorrow!

Fun Day Monday

Hello to you all from Daisy & Holly,

We have been charging around in the snow again and this time we didn't get loads of snow balls sticking to our legs. So, now we can run almost flat out across the fields chasing each other.

Charging around on the snow

Holly has made a discovery. When we have our coats on, she can chase me, get along side of me, and grab my coat collar and roll me on the ground. SNEAKY OR WOT!

We went out with Old Two Legs to do some, 'Last Minute Shopping' as he calls it. Not too sure what he means but we did go to the Doggy Shop! and Oh! the Smells! They are SO Wonderful. Holly and I were going crazy. First we'd find one super smell, then find a better one, then one even more better, and then one betterer than that!!!

Heaven! it was just HEAVEN!

OTL brought some stuff but he would not let us see what it was, all he would say was,'Wait until and see what Father Christmas brings you'! 

(Father Christmas is the same as Santa Claus and he's the one with a reindeer called Rudolph that has a car brake light for a nose.)

If Father Christmas brings me a SatNav, does that mean I'll get a camel as well?

Back to the afternoon snooze before a walk and dinner. 

See you tomorrow!

The Snow Fairy is Back!

Hello Fans!

Daisy & Holly here again.

Old Two Legs woke us up early for our walk, so he could get a photograph of the sun rising over the fields. Well we got to the spot and he set up his camera gear and we chased around the field. I don't think the photo was too good because the clouds hid the sun as soon as it poked it's head above the horizon!

Morning

What a day! The Missus went off to her local crop in the village hall and we settled down to watch some football before going off to visit Grandma.

Around twelve we climbed into the car but very soon it started to snow. At first Holly and I were all excited, woofing and looking out the window at everyone.

Pretty soon the snow really came down, and it started to get deep on the roads, so everyone was going slower and slower. OLT went further down towards the motorway but, when we got close the snow was falling down so much and the wind was blowing it around so hard that we couldn't even see the road. 

Dodgy stuff we thought! So did OTL. he decided we would return home because it looked, as he said, 'Too Dangerous',

We came off the slip road, but we could not even see if it was a road, there was so much snow. OTL drove back along the road but soon had to stop because there was a big traffic jam. A big truck had got stuck half way up the hill and nothing was moving at all.

Snow Jam

Nothing moved for hours.So,we amused ourselves by leaning out of the window until we were covered in snow flakes. The we woofed at the other people in the cars, especially a poodle that was in a car next to us.

He woofed back and we got a real war going on until his owner told him off........Spoilsport!

It took four hours to get up that hill!

We saw some good views on the way home and OTL stopped the car to take pictures. Here is one Holly and I like. Especially as you can see a Christmas tree on top of the church tower.

St Mary's Church

When we got back, TM had just got back from her card making day. We ran up to the door and yapped until she let us in, then we raced out to the back garden for a game of chase while OTL filled up the bird feeders.

Wot?No Bird Seed?

All in all, a good 'Adventure Saturday'!

See you tomorrow.

Daisy & Holly

Making OTL Jump!

Yoo Hoo!

Daisy & Holly here again.

In our never ending quest to confound Old Two Legs, Holly and I have come up with this wonderful wheeze.

For our birthday we were each given an identical toy. It was a small, soft rubber ball that looks like a 'Space Hopper' and every time you bite it, it squeaks.

OTL likes chasing us around with these and squeaking the Hopper, we in turn run away as though we are scared and don't like the noise..........Well, it keeps him amused!

Holly and I have come up with a new game.

Holly goes into the bedroom with one of the squeakers and lies along side the bed, one paw resting on the squeaker.

Holly & Hopper.

I go into The Missus's craft room and hide in the corner with the other ball.

Daisy & Hopper

 I start off by biting my ball.........squeak.

Then Holly steps on hers...........Squeek.

OTL.............What?

I bite mine again....................squeeeak.

OTL...................Umm!

Holly steps on hers again..................squEEEAk.

OTL...................Eh?

Well we have OTL running backwards and forwards between rooms looking for us 'Squeakers'

In the end we come running out to him woofing and laughing at the same time.

Gotcha Again OTL!!!!!

Back again tomorrow.

Bye for now.

Daisy & Holly

The Wire Haired Fox Terrier comes out in us!

Hello Fans!

Daisy & Holly here again!

We must tell you about our walk this morning. The Missus took us out and we went on our normal route out past the holiday camp.

Well, we got to the turning where we head off to the Old Barn and I spotted it first.

There, in the field, in the middle of the field, standing on its own, was the biggest old dog fox that Holly and I had ever seen.

Something clicked in our DNA, (Doggy kNows All), we both stood looking at this fox for about half second, then we were off, going like Rocket Propelled Puppies. 

Holly was slightly in front of me giving out the traditional hunting call of the WHFT (Wire Haired Fox Terrier).

We had learnt the call from our Mum, she'd have been proud of us!

The Missus had by now seen what was going on and started to call us back, (no chance!) still we chased after the fox, who by now had decided that a VFX (Very Fast eXit) was in order and proceeded to leg it across the field.

TM was jumping up and down calling us, blowing the Doggy Whistle so hard I thought she would break it!

After a while I could see that the fox knew where it was going, into a big bramble bush where I know it had several exits. I reckoned that if it got there before us it wasn't worth chasing any more.

Yep! It got there first and disappeared inside. Holly got there next and dived in, I had by then stopped and was listening to TM jumping and shouting and blowing the whistle like a thing possessed!

Ooops! I thought, we could be in trouble here! Holly was still crashing around in the brambles and making a terrible noise. I reckon the fox was at least a mile away by now, so, I slowly started back towards TM. I didn't get too close 'cos I reckoned I could be in trouble and she may take my tail away or sell me to the Dogs Home that OTL talks about.

Holly had by now calmed down a bit, and was trotting back as well, smiling from ear to ear!

Oh, WOW did you see it go? Holly said as she got back to me, Oh WOW do you see what TM doing? I said and we both looked towards The Missus who by now was as red as a Poppy and had steam coming out of her ears from blowing that Doggy Whistle, I swear it had melted, she was blowing it that hard!

OTL thought it was great fun and listened to us as we told and re told the tale while he was brushing our coats. 

He said we were Big Brave Puppies and gave us an extra Doggy Choc Drop.

After all that excitement, we both spent most of the morning asleep dreaming of Fox Hunting!

What a day!

See you all tomorrow.

Photo Fun

Hi Gang!

Daisy & Holly here.

You know I told you that Old Two Legs wanted to get a picture of us looking all lovely and clean and fluffy and cute?

Well it didn't work out for OTL. He tried several things to tempt us into posing for him but Holly and I just weren't ready to have our photograph taken.

If you're not in the mood, then you are just NOT IN THE MOOD!!!

Gissa bit of Sausage

OTL tried tempting us with bits of our sausage, specially made for Doggies, we LOVE it and of course, we didn't sit still for a moment.

Holly blows a Raspberry for a bit of  Sausage

As soon as Holly was in position I would jump up and then when I was sitting down Holly would be trying to wrestle a bit of sausage from OTLs hand!

 Bet you're hiding the sausage!

Poor old OTL, in the end he gave up and stayed in his office all evening, showing off!

What do they say, Never work with Animals?

Too Right!

We got the better of OTL this time! 1 - 0 to Puppy Power!

See you tomorrow,

Daisy & Holly

Holly's new coat

A big hello to you all,

Daisy & Holly here.

After we've had our hair cut it seems a little colder around the tail and Old Two Legs said we could put our coat on if we felt cold. It was then that he realised that Holly didn't have a coat. So, off we went in the car up to the Doggy Shop where I got my coat.

Holly was beside herself in there, just like me she just loves the smells in that place. If you ignore the rabbit stuff and the hamster smells and the lizard, the rest is all Doggy smells, wonderful!

Holly got measured and fitted with a warm coat, she looked 'The Business', we were almost looking forward to the cold weather, just so we can wear our coats!

The Missus says it is going to get cold this weekend, so we'll be ok!!

I was watching the TV last night and one of those adverts came on showing Three camels, with men riding on their backs, OTL said it was about a thing called a SatNav. 

OK, now we have horses, camels, carpenters, pubs and SatNav's, Christmas Presents and Compost Bins.

I'm getting seriously confused here!

OTL wanted to take a picture of us looking all smart like after our haircut, but after a long day driving up to see Grandma, we all felt sort of ,well Tired, to be honest, totally Whacked Out!

So, instead of us all bright eyed and furry tailed and smiling for the camera. Here we are, cuddled up to OTL having a snooze after dinner!

Safe with OTL!

Maybe tomorrow with the photograph, after our mid morning snoozett!

Bye bye for now,

Daisy & Holly

Monday, Chilly Monday!

Hello to you all,

We've  had a funny day today, first of all we went off with Old Two Legs for a run around the fields, boy was it chilly! The ground was hard, but that made it easier to run on and Boy, did we run! It was super having someone to play chase with who runs as fast as I do. Old Two Legs gets a up a small run then gives up, puffing and wheezing. He really should get more exercise, more walkies with us!

A little later OTL took us out in the car, for what we thought, was going to be a long walk through the woods. Were we mistaken! We turned off towards the vets place and that had me worried for starters! OTL drove past the vets, Phew! but then he turned into the kennels next door! Shock!, Horror! He was going to sell us, to the Dogs Home, all because we had been naughty and woken him up too early!

We don't like this place!

In we went, not very happy puppies. I tried to tell him we were both sorry and we wouldn't do it again. He didn't listen, handed the lead over to the girls and left us!!!

Suddenly I remembered this place, we had not been here for such a long time, at least three months, we were going to get a Hair Cut and Wash Under the Tail!

That was OK, we knew he'd hadn't sold us, he'll be back in a couple of hours, and, we'd still have our tails!

You should've seen us, we had our claws done, hair cut shampooed and set, blow dried, brushed and pampered, our hair was trimmed in the important places. (Holly said it was called a ' Mohican'!) I said it was Drafty!

We even had a squirt of Doggy Deodorant that made us smell like The Missus when she goes out somewhere special!

Well, when OTL came to pick us up we were SO pleased to see him and we promised to be good girls for him and not wake him up too early and sit at the kerb and not bark at the postman and not scratch the door and not mug him for Shortbread and, well, I reckon that was enough to be getting on with!

When we got home,The Missus, went all Goo, Goo.

You know, Oh aren't they sweet, let me cuddle them. No Way, OTL had paid a fortune for this hair cut and we had promised to stay clean and tidy, until we went for a walk over the fields.

Can we go out now?

See you tomorrow, we're off to the woods!

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!

Daisy & Holly

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
