Long Day in the Car

Hello!

We're back again!

Brr! It was cold this morning, the frost was that thick it looked like the Snow Fairy had returned. It was so cold that The Missus insisted we have our coats on for the early morning walk!

We were down at Grandmas place again today and had a BORING trip down there in the car. 

There were no truck drivers we could poke our tongues out at.

The other dogs we saw and woofed at, totally ignored us! 

All we could do was to sit there and sing songs all the way along the motorway!

When we'd finished at Grandmas, we stopped off at the football fields and had a run, in the daylight!

We chased Leaf Fairies and chased each other around in circles!

My Leaf Fairy!

It was great having a run in the daylight, it made a wonderful change!
Normally it's too dark to see any fairies.

Run Baby Run!

We were running so fast the Leaf Fairies couldn't keep up with us! OTL got left way behind, so, being good little puppies, we waited for him.

OTL takes so long to get here!

But we only waited five seconds!

I'm not too sure what OTL has got planned for us tomorrow, maybe a run around the Farm or maybe the Forest, yeah, we haven't been up the Forest for some time. I think we should have a word with OTL in the morning. Just about breakfast time! That's the best time to talk to him 'cos he is still half asleep and sort of dopey!

See you again tomorrow!

Sunday Sun Day

Hello Peoples!

Here we are again and have we had fun today.

The Missus took us out for the early morning walk, a quick run around the fields 'cos it was just too frosty to hang about!

We got back and Old Two Legs decided that we should both have our worming tablet. First he tried the, have a chew girls, No Thanks. Then, crush and wrap it in a bit of chicken, No Way. Then it was the jam trick, On Your Bike!

Then TM stepped in and tried some ice cream, Yeees Pleeese!

Now while we are on about ice cream.

What goes with ice cream?

Beaches, sea side, running, getting sand everywhere, digging holes.

So, we went up to OTL and persuaded him to take us out to the beach, Leysdown in fact. When we got there the tide was out, so, we got wet.

 

Getting Wet

Then there's the beach.

Running Around.

Running Around the Beach

Holly tried burying this!

Who left this here?

And of course, we just have to show you Old Two Legs!

 

Old Two Legs

Then we went home for a snack and a sleep!

This is what Sunday is all about!

Bye for now, see you tomorrow.

Daisy & Holly

P.S. OTL says that the 'funny' photos are done using a 'Fish Eye Lens', he'll try anything to show off!

The Weekend Starts Here!

Yoo Hoo Everyone,

Daisy & Holly back again!

I love Saturday, there is always a chance that Old Two Legs will take us for an adventure of some sorts.

Today started out all rainy and wet when we went for our morning run across the fields. OTL was sort of tip toeing around all the big puddles on the path. Holly and me just waded across them, I mean, trying to go around them meant wading through the mud!

We did a 'Gotcha' on OTL. About half way across the field I sometimes get OTL to carry me on his shoulder so I can see what is across the fields. OTL is over six feet tall and I am only 12 inches at my shoulders! So you can see, the view from his shoulders is much better.

Holly did the 'Pick me up' dance. She jumps up at his leg and pushes hard. So, OTL bends down and scoops Holly up and onto his shoulder. She then has a good look around.

Next, I jump up at his leg and he crouches down so I can jump up onto his leg and then onto his other shoulder.
Fifteen Kilos of puppy and two gallons of muddy wet fur!

He really is an old softy.

It was not until we both stuck a wet paw down his nice warm, dry, soft neck, did he crouch down so we could jump off again!

Yeah! Gotcha OTL!

As we expected, OTL took us for an adventure, but close to home. We went down the beach just about high tide. That meant the sand had almost disappeared and we were left with rocks and grass.

No problem, we just raced around on the rocks and grass!

Beach Puppies

We went all down the beach 'till we got to the stream, OTL decided not to go any further, so we had a paddle in the sea.

Then OTL tried to get all creative with a WWII Pill Box that was slowly being washed out to sea.

That Sinking Feeling

Not sure if he did it justice, maybe he should try again but with a tripod next time!

Holly ran along the sea wall until she ran out of wall and path!

Where's the path and wall?

It was washed away, just like the ground that used to support the Pill Box!

Still, a great time was had by us all and we were so tired when we got back, we even slept through OTL having his diner!

See you tomorrow, maybe with another adventure!

Friday's Our Day

Hello all,

Daisy & Holly back again, a little sore on my shoulder and Holly has had some bad news!

Today started off well, we went out with Old Two Legs for a run across the fields. It was chilly and there was this misty sort of rain. No real problem to us super fit pair of puppies!

We started off across the field, I thought I saw a fox and got almost out of sight before deciding it was nothing but a plastic bag blowing in the wind. Holly had chased after me but gave up earlier cos' she wanted a wee.

Half way around the field the rain came down a little heavier and a little wetter, by the time we got home we were soaked through to our skins, so was OTL 'cos he's got more skin than both of us!

As normal, a good rub down with our towel and a brush and we were as right as rain!

We spent most of the day in with OTL in his office, just snoozing, waking only for a snack and to mug him for a little of his lunch.

Expert Snoozers

You don't realise just how much skill there is in snoozing mid morning!

Then it was time to go to the vet...........! I'd almost forgotten about that!

You could tell it was an important visit, The Missus came along as well and brought two leads with her, serious visit this was going to be!

First of all we got weighed, I was 6.5kg, Holly was a whopping 7.4kg!

I have always said she is a 'Porkie Puppy' and gets too much food, I mean, she is the Master at Mugging!

The vet says she should only eat what I eat and she should settle down to a sensible weight.

I got the Booster injection, it wasn't as bad as I remember, but best of all, Holly had one as well! OTL said that he wanted to have us synchronised, whatever that means, but we will both have to have it again at the same time next year!

On the way home we stopped for a run at the Country Park next to the river. It was pouring down, but after the vets, it was great. We were running along the path by the river when around the corner came six big Labrador dogs on leads with three women looking after them. Holly and I were running 'free' 'cos OTL trusts us to come when he calls us, (Fat Chance!) The funny thing was, as we got next to the Labradors OTL says in a loud voice, 'Come on Girls, leave them alone!' 

I mean, who is he kidding? 

But it did look good as we left them alone and ran after OTL!

See you tomorrow, it may even stop raining!

Bye Bye for now,

Daisy & Holly

What a Yuk Day!

Hello to you all,

D & H back again.

Do you ever get those days when it really doesn't happen? You know, jump out of bed all bright and breezy, and land in mud up to your knees and you spend the rest of the day trying to run in the stuff!

Well, me and Holly have had one of those days, it started out with The Missus deciding to take us out for our morning walk. We got all dressed up in our nice warm jackets and went out the front door.

It was raining!

Not the fine spray type of rain, but the big, wet, large rain drops that seem to hit you and go straight through your fur to the skin without stopping!

YUK! I just hate it when it trickles down my tail!

TM tried to take us over the fields, no way! We both sat down on our backsides, pointed our noses to the ground and refused to walk another step!

We were NOT going in all that mud and water. It would be more like a swim than a walk!

Well, TM knew that we must want a wee, so she took us over the football field, not so bad but still wet and muddy.

Pretty quickly we did our business and had a run while TM found the Poo Bin, then we headed back home. 

Old Two Legs gave us a good rub down with the towel, (Holly and me that is, not TM, she does that herself!) 

Then after a long slow brush we looked lovely again.

Every time we looked out of the door today it was still raining! 

We went to the back door and it was even raining in the garden!

I was almost wishing it were colder again so the Snow Fairy would come back!

We've spent most of the day chasing each other around the house and barking at OTL so he would play 'Tug' with us.

We got to remembering what it was like last Spring Time and when we first got close to those silly sheep.

OK, What do we do now?

We are both looking forward to the Spring, can't wait for some sunshine on our backs and this time we we'll know what to say to the sheep.................Blah Blaaah Blaaaaaaah!

Bet you didn't know we can speak Sheep!

Tomorrow we have the vets and I don't fancy that at all, I've got an injection to look forward to plus a worming pill, Holly doesn't care, it's just a worming tablet for her!

Spring is on it's way and already the mud has gone down a little bit!

Bye bye for now and we will see you tomorrow,

Daisy & Holly

Mid Week Mayhem!

Hi!

Daisy & Holly back again!

We've been having some fun today, Old Two Legs has been trying to catch up with his office duties, loads of paper, emails all over the place and he had to make up some bits for his customers as well.

Now normally that would not be any problem, but, Holly was trying her 'Woof' trick again!

Around midday, she went up to OTL in the office and sat next to him and woofed. Then she woofed again, and again, and again. Poor OTL was confused until he saw what the time was. 'I suppose it's Walkies Time' he said, pretty stupid question I thought!

Off we went for our midday run around the park. We met Jake the greyhound, we had some fun chasing him. Now that we know how to turn quickly, when he tries to chase us, it is good fun turning the tables on him! He even ran in between OTL's legs and stayed there for a reassuring stroke, the wimp!

After the walk and a little light lunch, Holly tried the 'woofing' trick again but OTL was having none of it, he sent us off to the bedroom to stand guard over the front path, from the window.

When there is no one there it gets BORING!

He's getting too clever that OTL!

All the work Old Two Legs has been doing means we have to go down the carriers. We stayed in the car this time and made sure no one comes near. We woofed at the delivery man in the van, then we woofed at the man who runs the place and finally woofed at his wife so she should not feel left out.

Then we jumped up at the window and laughed at them and they laughed at us!

We listened to OTL when he was on the phone and found out that he has made an appointment for Holly and me to visit the vets on Friday. It looks like injections and worming tablets again!

We will be weighed and a note made in the records, I bet Holly has put on 20 kilo's since the last visit, I reckon it's the sausages she mugs from OTL and The Missus, a real 'Porkie Puppy'!

See you tomorrow, OTL has promised to take us down to the Country Park at midday, just for a change!

A two meat day today!

Hello Everyone,

We are back again!

We've been to Grandma's today and spent all day there. The Missus has been sorting out cupboards and drawers while Holly and I have been digging up the garden!

Old Two Legs had to go out for a long time, so we didn't get our normal run around the pond. TM took us for a walk but she kept us on the lead all the time. You would think she doesn't trust us!

When OTL got back, we were all over him like a rash, we miss our OTL when he's not around, it's sort of, BORING!

We got our normal run around the football field and Holly and me got up some serious speed, especially running down hill,and in the dark!

Afterwards we set off for home and TM was telling OTL how much she fancied some chips with salt and vinegar all over them. Old Two Legs says he knows a place where he can get some and he would get a sausage as well for himself. Our little ears pricked up at the mention of sausages, especially the ones OTL eats.

Yep! We mugged him for a few bits of his sausage, lets face it when we are sitting next to him with our noses pointing at the sausage and our heads between him and the sausage, you can't really ignore us!

When we got home,The Missus cooked a chicken she had got out of the freezer this morning, it tasted super, even if it was a little late coming!

We went to bed with full tums and a happy smile on our faces, sausages AND chicken, yes, a super day!

See you tomorrow!

Daisy & Holly

Last Day of The Holiday

Hello to you all,

I suppose you have all been out enjoying yourselves today, me and Holly certainly have. We got Old Two Legs up good and early with the 'Good Morning, Wet Ear' treatment. We know he loves that really, even if he tries to put his head under the blanket!

We were jumping up and down on the bed woofing 'Bittern, Bittern' to let him know where we wanted to go!

Guess what? After breakfast he put us into the car and off we went to see the Bittern!

We had a great ride down to Canterbury, singing songs and waving at the truck drivers.

It was a little frantic when we got there as Holly and I wanted to get out of the car but OTL insisted on getting his gear ready first!

Soon we were off, running and jumping all over the place hunting those pesky Bittern Birds!

Hunting Bittern!

We went in the sheds, they call them hides, where everyone watches the ducks. Holly climbed out of the window onto the shelving outside the window just to get a better view. OTL got her back in and told her that doing stuff like that would scare the birds off. It was lucky that there was no one else in the hide!

We saw some ducks on the pond and Holly asked if they taste like chicken, 'cos everything taste like chicken to her. I think that Holly is too fond of her stomach to do any real bird watching.

We stayed in one of the sheds where we were supposed to be able to see the Bitterns, but all we saw were some horses and a swan and two Mallard Ducks. OTL spent some time with the binoculars looking at the reeds but didn't see any Bittern Birds at all, poor OTL!

Then we got bored and started running up and down the shed, woofing and having a tussle and knocking the rubbish bin over, no more bird watching for OTL, back to Racing & Chasing outside!

Racing & Chasing!

We walked and ran all over the place, it was great fun, we got muddy and wet and covered in bits of plant that stuck to our coats. OTL got us all clean and brushed when we got home. 

It was just left to us to catch up on our sleep before going to bed!

We really do like adventures with Old Two Legs!

Tomorrow it's off to Grandma's and a run on the football fields!

Bye bye for now.

Daisy & Holly

Fleas, Thorns and Rabbit Holes!

Hello Everyone!

Here we are again after a good nights sleep. Old Two Legs decided he should have an early night and we were packed off to bed at ten last night. Not that we were complaining, a good nights sleep is OK by us.

So we awoke all bright eyed and bushy tailed today, ready for an adventure. OTL was still asleep, lazy old OTL, so we jumped onto the bed and woke him up with a barrage of wet tongues in the ear! That sorted him out!

After our morning 'after breakfast' snooze, OTL looked at That Letter again and told us we should have our flea treatment. That was no real problem, he just squeezes some wet stuff between our shoulder blades. It's sticky for a while then dries off leaving a funny smell!

We pestered OTL to take us down to Cliffe Pools and at midday he agreed and off we went in the car. Holly and I were in our normal driving position looking out the window and woofing at all the cars. Holly blew a raspberry at the postman as we went past, he just laughed and waved at us!

We went for a run along the path at Cliffe Pools, which was great,until Holly got a thorn in her paw. She was sitting there with the paw lifted up.  OTL saw her and managed to take the thorn out, there was a little blood, but not much. I've had more blood when my milk teeth fell out! Holly thought that OTL was wonderful and gave him a big loving lick!

Off we went again, hunting for rabbits. 

Holly found the first hole.

Yoo Hoo Mr Rabbit!

We can See You!!!

The Holly said she saw one pop his head out of this hole, but we never saw him again. I think Holly was telling 'Porkies'!

We got home very late 'cos we stayed out all afternoon. When we got home all we wanted to do was sleep, so we did sleep, before dinner and after dinner and just before we went to bed.

Tired but happy puppies.

Tomorrow we want to go down to Canterbury and see the Bitterns in the reeds, if OTL is not too busy.

We told him that it is the last day of the holiday so we got to do something exciting!

See you tomorrow,

Daisy & Holly

New Years Day

Hello to you all today,

A special hello to Keryn, Steve & the two Jack Russell's, glad to have you on board!

We had a wild New Years Eve, what with all the noise that Miffy & Karen (The Cat People) and Old Two Legs & The Missus were making last night, Holly and I didn't get to sleep until after two in the morning!

We were woken up from our evening snooze, by them, singing and laughing and shouting, especially at midnight. It was so loud that Holly and I thought it was Burglars, so we rushed down stairs all woofing and growling only to find them 'Happy New Year'ing' all over the place!

OTL said it was good to have us all together for the New Year, so we forgave them and gave everyone a lick!

All that is OK, but Holly and I had trouble waking up this morning, a pair of real sleepy heads we were!

OTL & Miffy left us behind at home and went off to do some 'New Year Bird Watching', they walked miles and only saw some ducks! Although Holly and I were disappointed not to go out with them, secretly we're glad to have a lazy day at home! 

Looking at the pictures of the place, it looks a good Rabbit hunting ground, so we're going to get OTL to take us there soon.

RSPB Cliffe Pools

We spent most of the day dodging TM & Karen scattering glitter all over the place, they also left loads of half pealed 'stick on's' all over the floor. If you get them on your tummy they really tug the hair when OTL pulls them off!

We saw that Mr M left us a 'Happy New Year' message yesterday, and he lives in France! 

That's where the Poodles come from, we know that 'cos Aggis told us. 

So, a big Happy New Year to Mr Steve M and his family, and  Aggis!

Not forgetting Dougal and his family, we hope the snow fairy has gone from your place as well!

OH NO!     Shock!     Horror!

OTL opened a letter from the vets this morning, seems I am due a vaccination update! 

I just hate them sticking needles in me!

If I chew up the letter do you think that OTL will forget to take me?

No, neither do I!

See you all tomorrow,

Daisy & Holly
