Hard work having fun!

Hi All!

Daisy & Holly back again.

We have had a quite sort of day today. Breakfast of tinned dog food went down like a cold wet dish cloth! We don't know what is wrong with The Missus, she knows what we love and what we don't and what do we get?

Old Two Legs took us out at lunch time and we went down to the Sea Wall. The tide was out so we had a wonderful run up and down the beach, over the sea shells and jumping over the breakwaters!

Because it was very misty we couldn't see the ships, so we could not wave to all the sailors as normal, but we did bark at the Fog Horn at Sheerness!

Misty View

We ran along the beach almost all the way to the end of the Sea Wall and then we ran and chased all
the way back. I don't know if you have tried running on sea shells but it's a bit like running in mud and it makes you very tired if you do too much of it.

Yes, we did too much running on the sea shells!

The afternoon was spent having a snooze in OTL's office, you know we were even too worn out to try beating each other up!

Snoozing with My Sister

I reckon that we will spend this evening snoozing as well, providing that is we get a decent meal this evening!

See you tomorrow, if we don't succumb to hunger!

Guard Dogs R Us

Hello all you Woofers!

It's Daisy and Holly here again.

We have been good girls. We have been doing our job as House Guard Dogs and scaring off all those night time burglars and The Sneaky Rubbish Raiding Pussy Cats.

It was about four in the morning when I heard Holly woofing, so, I started up as well in support of her verbal attack against these intruders, after a few moments I asked what she was barking about and she said that she was only barking because I was barking and I said that I was only barking 'cos she was.

We both looked at each other and was about to discuss who barked first, when, in a flurry of Winceyette Nightie and 'flip flop' hob nail boots, The Missus came crashing onto the scene growling and snarling and barking and making a terrible noise!

She rattled her hair rollers and stamped her feet on the ground, not a pretty sight!

Well, she certainly scared the burglars and pussy cats away, plus she scared us too!

We shot up stairs to Old Two Legs and jumped into bed with him so that he would protect us from TM!


We didn't hear any more burglars and if we did I think we may just let TM deal with them!

OLT took us out to the New Park and although it was a little chilly, we had a good run around and said hello to a number of dogs we knew, and a few we didn't!

Now there's a sign that tickles Old Two Legs when ever he goes through the gates to the park. It is to do with the dog owners picking up the mess after their dogs. (I think they mean the poo)!

Well, there are some owners that don't and we keep coming across the evidence!

This notice makes OTL smile and really gets to the point, trouble is, it's wasted on some owners, maybe they can't read the notice? Maybe they think there is a Poo Fairy!

The Poo Fairy!

As Holly says, we are OK, we don't need a Poo Fairy, we got Old Two Legs!


See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Sunday is for resting!

Hello Everyone, I hope your Sunday has been relaxing.

With the exception of Angela, we hear it's her birthday, so breakfast in bed, the kids do the housework and the ironing, finishing up with a wild party tonight?

Happy Birthday!

We've had a lazy day today, after yesterdays route march around The Marshes we felt a little 'Jaded'.

I had a twinge in my back legs, Old Two Legs reckons it is cramp, so he gives my legs a good rub which seems to ease the ache. By the time Sunday comes, it has all cleared up and I'm back to normal again!

We went down to the Sea Wall today and had a long run along the beach, Holly and me went sniffin around the concrete blocks to see if there were and Sea Monsters lurking underneath them.

There was nothing there except an old shoe and a bit of seaweed!

Sea Monsters were Here!

We had Pigs Liver and some doggy biscuits for dinner, the biscuits were boring but the liver was super, Holly and I can't get enough of that stuff!

I think it's time for a snoozett before mugging OTL for a biscuit before we head off to bed.

See you tomorrow,

Luv

Daisy & Holly

We've Been Birdwatching & Badger Chasing & Fox Hunting & Hole Digging!

Hello to you All!

And a Happy Birthday to Steve, save some cake for us!

We have been having really good fun today!

Old Two Legs did as he promised and took us on an Adventure, we've been down to Canterbury and out on the marshes, well, sort of round the edge really.

We left early and packed our food and water into the boot together with OTL's camera gear and binoculars and his Bird Watching coat.

All the way down we were singing songs and asking if we were there yet, just to wind OTL up!

The first bit of the walk was over the bridge, which always has loads of smells drifting along the river, there were smells of ducks and dragonfly's and frogs and weed and rats!

River Stour

A little further on we saw a Long Tailed Tit and for a change it was on it's own, which is unusual as they normally keep in family groups.

Long Tailed Tit

We started off by looking for any signs of life, there was loads, Holly reckons she smelt the foot print of a Water Monster and we made plans to catch it and take it home to The Missus, but OTL said it was Swans Poo and we had to leave it alone. How does he know, he didn't smell it!?

Sniffin for Water Monsters!

A bit further on we smelt Foxes and Greasy Badgers and Holly tried to dig a hole in the bank side but OTL said that if we did that the water would come through and we would have to swim home!

Digging for Foxes

OTL was Here!

We had a good game of tracking OTL, we ran off pretending to chase a rabbit so that we could not see OTL, then we turned around and using only our noses, we followed OTL's smell. We tried doing it with our eyes shut but kept falling into the ditches, so we kept our eyes on the path instead.

It was good fun until we lost him really and it was only when he called us that we realised he had gone up the steps to a bird hide!

OTL' bin Here!

We found OTL!

We must have gone miles around the marshes, we certainly felt worn out by the end of the day.

After a long day like that, you can imagine, we slept all the way back home and most of the evening and even went to bed early.

Who knows, we may be out on another adventure tomorrow and us puppies need our sleep!

See you all soon,

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Whoopee it's Friday!

Hi All,

Daisy & Holly back again!

Today is Friday, that means the Food Man comes. The Food Man is a lovely man, he brings food for The Missus and Old Two Legs and of course, our food!

Best of all he brings our Rawhide Chews!

Now it is a well known doggy thing, no matter how juicy and tasty the thing I've got tastes, I will always want the one that Holly has, and visa versa. So, we grumble and growl and nick the other one while our one is being nicked by the other doggy. Only then do we decide that our original one was better and we try to get it back by grumbling.

Better still, if we can get our one back and still keep hold of the other one, success!
It's just so we can compare the taste and chew-ability at different points!

Now, if you have two dogs and two chews and one dog wants both chews, well you do the maths all I know is the answer is, we get into 'Grumbly Time' and OTL shouts at us and we get one chew taken away, so we have to share the last chew.

Not happy 'cos OTL's taken a Chew away!

That is, we are then minus one chew, so, that means one chew divided by two dogs equals, Grumbly Time.

Oooo, this maths thing hurts my brain, How Leonis got a 100% in her maths test is beyond me. She must be really clever, I bet she has her own chew and doesn't have to share with anyone!

Now, we have one chew and two doggies, so, that means half each. The problem is, which half is mine, or hers, no matter which end we chew, we always reckon the other end is better, so we get into Grumbly Mode again!

Two Doggies into One Chew!

 I think I'll go back to bed now and have a snoozett, 'cos my brain hurts!

See you tomorrow for an Adventure with OTL, we hope.


Luv

Daisy & Holly

A Trip Out With OTL

Hi Gang!

Daisy & Holly back again.

A warm welcome to Chris, she's the lady that goes 'Ding Dong' on a Sunday Morning!

Me and Holly were in Guard Dog mode last night. About three in the morning we heard a fox howling, just outside our back door, off we flew, down stairs, howling and barking and woofing. The Missus came down as well and let us out into the garden.

We had never heard a fox howling like that and so close! Well, we are big, bold and brave puppies and when the fox howled so close to us, we shot back indoors and from the safety of the kitchen we woofed it away.

Well, as I said, we were big, bold and brave, but not stupid!

Because of all that fun and games, we were missing out on our sleep, so we spent most of the morning in with Old Two Legs, having a snooze in our day beds, until it was time to go out on his errands.

We went off delivering some stuff and then we stopped at the New Park!

Holy and I rushed in and guess what? There were no other doggies there!

Where have all the doggies gone?

I know it was a bit windy and a little bit of rain, but not enough to keep them indoors!


So, me and Holly just had fun sharing sniffs together!

Sharing a Sniff!

When we got to the pond there was still no one around, not even the monster under the bridge and Holly had a good look to see if it was there!

No Monsters here!

OTL suggested we might like to have a swim, but it was too cold for that and Holly blew a Raspberry at OTL when he made the suggestion!

Raspberries to a swim!

We had a good run and a chase about the park and I swear that Holly is getting faster, maybe it is all that hair she lost when she had a hair cut that has speeded her up!

Speedy Holly!

Would you believe it? She is now learning to stand on her back legs like me!

Look Daisy!

Simples!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

It's a Lost Dog Day!

Hello Everyone,

What a great sunny day it is here, almost a real Balmy Spring Day, just right for a 'Spring Dig'.

We got back from our morning walk to be greeted by a super breakfast of minced lamb and rice with a little grated carrot on the top!

OK Sister, deep breath, tails up and muzzles in!

After a brilliant breakfast like that we were just deciding on what to do next when we heard a ring on the front door bell.

There was a lady standing there with a Yorkshire Terrier/Bichon Frise cross  in her arms. 'Is this your dog?' she said to The Missus, 'cos I found it wandering outside your door.'

Not ours, but I'll phone the owner says TM all motherly like and took the dog up to see Old Two Legs who was hard at work in the office.

Well, that was it, I don't mind lost dogs, but lost dogs sitting on OTL's lap where me or Holly should be, that was just too much. I sat in my day bed and looked at this dog, giving him the old 'Hairy Eyeball' look and then I 'Grumbled'.

It was a special sort of low down Doggy Grumble that went like this,

'JustwadderyerthinkyerdoingsittinonmyOTLlapwhere Ishouldbeanstopgrinninglikethatoryourgetapawinyerearforyertroubles'

A traditional Doggy warning grumble, 'without prejudice'!

Holly was around the back having a sniff of his tail so that she would know him next time!

It was not long before his owner came knocking on the door, it seems that 'Teddy' had escaped from the house some how and they did not even know he was gone!

All's well now, he's gone and we have been out in the garden for our first real Spring Dig, trouble was, TM caught us before we dug up too many daffodils, just because I had earth all around my muzzle, doesn't mean it was all me, Holly did some of it!

We went over to meet The Boys from school in the afternoon, it was good to see them again and we had fun trying to teach TM some doggy songs on the way back.

She is not very good at singing in 'Doggy'!

See you tomorrow.

Luv

Daisy & Holly

The Sun is here again!

Hello to you all!

Daisy & Holly here again.

We must say a big welcome to susiequeue who has joined our merry little band!


What with the hair cut yesterday and the frost this morning, we needed our coats on when we went out this morning. The Missus took us for a walk over the fields and across the golf course down to the beach. It was a bit chilly so we did not stay for a swim!


Old Two Legs took us out with him when he went to see a customer or two and we ended up in the Riverside Park!


A Super Time it was, loads of other doggies and the sun was really warm on our backs.

Out in the sunshine!

We looked 'the business' with our new haircut and we got a lot of comments from the other dogs we met. They all said we looked dead smart!

Holly looking good!

Holly looked really good and she made sure she found some super smell to have a roll in!


OTL was jumping up and down telling her to get up, but she didn't care!


We ran and chased each other all over the place, it was really good to have a run in the sun shine. We hope it keeps up for the weekend, OTL is thinking of going out on an 'Adventure', he won't say where but knowing him, it's bound to be fun!


So, claws crossed for a sunny Saturday.


Bye bye for now


Luv


Daisy & Holly

Shock! Horror! it's Hair Cutting Day!

Hi Woofers,

Daisy & Holly back with you again and have we had a day today!

Out we went this morning with Old Two Legs for our walk across the fields, great fun, loads of sniffs and even found some horse poo!

When we got home The Missus was all dressed and ready to go out, strange that was, OTL didn't give us a brush but instead gave us our breakfast straight away, even stranger!

Holly said there was something up and sure enough they cleared off out the front door without us!

I went back and had a bit of breakfast but it wasn't the same without them here.

An hour later they came back, we said our normal hello and licked them both from ear to ear and back again! Seems they had to take the car down for a service, so that's why they sneaked off!

We got our brush and finished the breakfast. Later we went out for our midday stroll around the football field. OTL loaded some stuff into the car then came back for us. Whoopee! we thought, an 'Adventure' !

Off we drove and in a little while we ended up at the kennels...........aaargh!

Suddenly we knew what was going to happen.

It was haircut and a bath time!

We were not happy puppies, we did our 'straight front legs, chin on the ground and bottom in the air' stance but the floor was slippery and we got dragged out to the clipping palour.




I won't tell you any more except that Holly and me were very pleased when OTL & TM came to pick us up, we just could not get out of there quick enough!

We have spent the evening eating and sleeping and then a little more eating before going to bed for a proper sleep!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Another Lazy Sunday

Hi Folks!

D&H back again,

Very Happy Birthday to Vi, she had a big party on Saturday night. Dancing the night away we hear!

Old Two Legs was hard at the decorating bit this morning, slapping more paint on the bathroom ceiling.

Holly was very interested in watching OTL, don't know why, it's not as if we have a kennel roof to paint!

While he was bent over backwards waving the brush around, Holly was in the shower, sitting on the bath mat watching him work.

She said it was no trouble to do that 'cos she had the shower door closed so no paint would drip on her!

I kept out of there, I don't like the smell of  paint, so I stayed down stairs chewing on Hollies carrot. She had hidden it under one of the cushions, but I found it!


A bit later on when OTL had finished the painting, The Missus went in the bathroom and said Oo' Aah! Oo Aah!' or something like that.

See, she reckons if she says he's done a super job, then he will be more likely to do the kitchen next.

She's been after him to do the kitchen for ages, it's one of her 'jobs' on the list that OTL gets every weekend.

As I've said before, that TM, Crafty or Wot!

We have been a bit lazy today, what with OTL working and TM making cards. Holly and I have been experimenting in the garden to find a suitable place to start our Spring Dig!

Trouble was, TM caught us doing a test dig and chased us around the garden twice!

Holly said TM was going to chop our tails off so we would not be happy again, so we rushed up to OTL who protected us.

That TM can be scary sometimes!

I think an early night is called for, must catch up on our sleep!

See you tomorrow,

Luv

Daisy & Holly
