We love Friday's

Hi to you all,

D&H back again and the sun is still shining, it has been a glorious week!

We were out good and early this morning, 'cos The Missus said she had to clear the place up before Auntie Shelia arrives for some card making.

Now, I know I'm only a little puppy but I really don't understand why she has to clear the place up before making a Bigger mess making cards? Why not leave the first load of mess and do it all together when she clears up at the end of the day? Two messes but just one clear up, instead of the two messes and two clear ups.

I mean, it'll save her a whole clear up!

Come lunch time OTL shuts the office and grabs his camera and car keys, and where are we? Sitting by the front door with our lead, waiting for him!

Today we went down to the Riverside Park again! Super run about and we met a few new doggies, one little sausage dog crept up on Holly and sniffed her tail without her realising he was there!  Sneaky or wot!

Surprise!

We had another laugh later when Holly did a woof at the barge. Now as soon as she barked, she heard a bark come back, Holly is not so bright really, she thought it was another dog woofing back! So, she woofed again, and again back came the woof, so she woofed again, and so it went on!

Woof!

This carried on for some time, OTL and I were laughing at Holly but she still reckoned there was another dog there so she went around the back to see if she could see it!

Is it up there?

Of course, she was listening to her own echo bouncing off the barge! It took her some time to work it out!

As we returned to the car we saw a doggy running in and out of poles then running over a small bridge thing. Well, we couldn't work out what was happening, looked a bit daft to us!

Daft or wot!

When the dog had finished, she came out with her owner and we asked what was happening, she said it was a load of old rubbish designed to show how clever she was and how dopey the owner looked when they tried to run from one test to the other!

As Holly said, thanks, but no thanks, we'll keep OTL as he is, he looks daft enough already!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Sun, Sun, Sun!

Hello Everyone!

Daisy & Holly here to see you again.

A Big Hello to Jackid68, welcome to our group of Woofers, we hope you enjoy our world! 

What a wonderful day, we've been out with Old Two Legs down to the New Park after doing some deliveries. We met loads of doggies and a big Alsatian chased Holly all over the place!

Holly was running flat out but forgot to do the 'Tight Turn' trick we have been practising for such a long time. I called out to her to do it but she was just charging along in a straight line. I even tried to distract the Alsatian by running across his path but he was after Holly. He was just having fun but it worried Holly for a little while.

When we got home, we practised the 'Tight Turn' again in the garden and Holly promised to try to remember it next time!

After all that chasing around we decided that it was time for our afternoon snoozett. I wanted to sleep in my day bed, so did Holly, so we both cuddled up and had a snoozett, until OTL rattled his car keys!

An Afternoon Snoozett

That was it, a sign we were off again for another Adventure!

This time he had to pick up some stuff and after that we went to the Bird Place where OTL likes to photograph birds. However, there we not very many birds, but, boy were there rabbits!

Driving up the road we saw hundreds of rabbits! Holly and me went potty woofing at them all and they all ran away when they heard us!

We got out of the car but OTL would not let us off the lead! We could have had a wonderful time chasing them pesky rabbits, instead, all we could do was, woof, and watch them in the distance!

Let us off the lead!

Well, all we could do was sit there and wish!

Holly said that rabbits had mountains of carrots in their burrows and they would only share them with you  if you knew the magic password. 

I asked if it was like the Lord of The Rings thing, you know, Speak Friend and Enter?

Holly said it was but she didn't know the password!

I wish we could undo this lead!

We tried a few like, lettuce and carrots and cabbage but nothing happened. 

There is always next time and I know OTL will be back again with his camera, so we have more chances in the future!

See you tomorrow.

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Super Sun Shiny Day

Hi All,

Daisy & Holly back with another glimpse of our little world.

Holly and I are just having a great time now the sun is shining all day, it certainly makes you feel good. Warm sun making everything grow in the garden and the earth is just the right consistency for digging, providing The Missus doesn't catch you!

We went out for our midday walk with Old Two Legs and because the sun has been warm and dried up most of the puddles, we went to The Woods! We haven't been there for a while so there were loads of new sniffs to catch up on.

New Sniffs here!

I reckoned that a Badger had been sitting on this bench having his lunch a couple of days ago, Holly said that his cubs had been playing on the other side of the log!

Our doggy noses are much better than yours at sniffin you see!

Super Sniffer Holly!

We then used the log to look out for Forest Monsters but we didn't see any, just OTL trying to creep up on a Wren who spotted him and told him off for creeping up behind her!

Watching OTL.

The paths were all clear of puddles, which pleased OTL 'cos he doesn't like muddy paws in his car.

In the woods we saw loads of Daffodils in bloom, they are a sure sign Spring is here!

Spring Daffodils

We met a couple of other dogs out for a walk but they were on leads and could not have a game of 'chase' with us, so we were left to our own games. One game is 'Shove her off the Log'. It's a game where one of us is at the top of the log or tree of bench or whatever.

The other one has to try to push the other off.

We get into all sorts of trouble when we push the other one off especially if she has hold of the other ones collar!

Well, I thought I had it sorted out this time, Holly was on top, showing off as normal, but I crept up and instead of pushing her off, I pushed the log over! She was all legs and tail as she tried to stay on top, no chance, I had got her good and proper this time!

Going, going, gotcha!

One up for Daisy this time!

Let's hope the sunshine keep going all week.

See you tomorrow for some more fun and games.

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Naughty Holly and Another Sunny Day!

Hi every one,

Daisy & Holly here with more adventures!

Today we went into town with Old Two Legs and The Missus and Holly misbehaved herself!

We parked in the car park behind the supermarket and OTL opened the door to get out and Holly, being a bit quick on her paws, jumped out at the same time!

She thought it was going to be a new game and ran in front of the car. Trouble was, there were other cars coming into the car park and they could not see Holly. So, OTL was walking after her and calling her to come to him. She thought it was a game, until a car got too close and she got all worried and went back to OTL so he could pick her up and make it all safe again!

Naughty Holly, but she was safe and OTL sorted it out, as usual!

Back home we went off to the Sea Wall again, the tide was in and we went and said hello to the fishermen again. Only these weren't the same fishermen as yesterday, but they said 'hello' to us!

We asked what they were doing and one said he was teaching worms to swim!

Teaching worms to swim!

We thought that was great fun and Holly said we should stay a bit longer to see if he can really teach worms to swim!

We went up on top of the hill and tried moving the bench closer to where the fishermen were, so we can sit and watch, but I think someone had glued the bench to the floor 'cos we couldn't move it at all!

Let's see if we can move it closer!

Tomorrow we will go back again and see how the fisherman got on and how many swimming worms he has now!

Bye bye for now,

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Sunny Monday

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with some more goings on in our little world.

As it was so sunny this morning we spent most of the morning in the garden. We were brushing up on our archaeological skills.  I was just opening a new trench when The Missus saw me and told me to stop digging in the garden!

I mean, we've only got three days to find out what the garden was used for in the Bronze Age!

Holly found a fossil with a particularly good smell attached to it, so we had a good roll on it. TM had a look and declared it to be a dead worm and told us we were 'mucky puppies'!

She doesn't realise just how technical this archaeology is!

So we had a 'field meeting' and fell asleep for a while in the warm sun, only to wake when Old Two Legs called out of the window to us.

A Field Meeting in the sun.

We of course knew what he wanted, 'Walkies'!

That's it, we were off like a shot, he grabbed his camera, we grabbed the lead and off we all went to the car.

We went to the Sea Wall again 'cos the tide was right in again.

We saw a couple of fishermen who seemed more interest in having a chat than fishing. In that sunshine I reckon they got the right idea!

A hard days fishing!

One of the good things about High Tide is that all the smells are concentrated along the high tide mark, which makes sniffin easier and it means you don't have to chase around so much!

Inspecting the High Water Mark.

When we get back to the car we always have to wait while OTL inspects the photos, so a bask in the sun on the parcel shelf is the best thing, we can see what is going on all around us and it is so easy to woof at anyone we want!

Waiting to go home!

Off home to some Lamb Mince and doggy biscuits and a snooze in OTL's office, what could be better?

We left TM giving our day beds a wash in the washing machine, still, it won't take us long to get them back to normal, a few carrots and a roll around in some super smell will restore them back to acceptable again!

See you tomorrow.

Bye bye for now!

First Swim of the Year

Hi All,

Daisy & Holly here!

Today has been a super day, we've been out running across the fields, we've been chasing each other all over the house, we've had a super snoozett this morning and after lunch we had our First Swim This Year!

Holly, me and Old Two Legs went down the Sea Wall after lunch and had a walk along the beach. The tide was just on the turn and was gently splashing waves on the beach. The only problem was that the concrete was so slippery that we kept slipping over!

Slippery or Wot!

We ran all along the concrete path and down the steps onto the beach where there were loads of sea shells. There we met another dog, called Bonnzo, we said hello as we passed on the beach.

Hello Bonnzo!

Holly reckoned it was warm enough to go for a swim and she bet me next weeks Rawhide Chew and said I would not go in for a swim. Well, for a Chew, I might just!

To Swim or Not To Swim?

I wandered in up to my tummy and made a splashing noise as if I was swimming, but I still kept all four paws on the bottom!

Holly said I was cheating, I said I was not, then we got into a 'Discussion'!

I was out there!

So I went into the water again and pointed out where I was swimming, but she said I was cheating and she would not give up the Chew to a cheat!

I said that I was going to tell OTL and he would sort it out, trouble is, by the time we got back in the car, I'd forgotten all about it!

I must make a note on my iPod to have a meeting with him tomorrow!


See you again soon, I hope!

Luv

Daisy and Holly

Home Alone!

Hello there,

Daisy & Holly here!

Have we had a strange day today. Old Two Legs was up early this morning, we got our normal run across the fields and boy was it cold! There was a deep frost on the ground and the cars were covered!

The frost did not last long 'cos as soon at the sun shone it just disappeared.

When we got back, we had our brush and The Missus gave us a whacking big bowl of chicken each, it was super!

Tails up and muzzles in girls!

That did not last very long and soon we had cleared the bowl and was looking for OTL for our little after breakfast snoozett.

OTL was all dressed up ready to go out, and he came down stairs, gave us both a stroke and went out the front door without us. About ten minutes later, TM was out the front door with all her card making stuff, we were on our own!

Seems OTL was out for one of his photography meetings, all day, and TM was off to her local Crop.

Well we thought, the house is ours!

We had a wonderful game of chase all over the place, upstairs in the bedrooms and out in the garden. We both had a sleep on their bed, it was lovely stretched out across their pillows!

A couple of hours later we heard TM come back to take us out for our midday walk, so that wasn't too bad and then we got taken up to the village hall to see the ladies who were 'Cropping'.

Busy doing Cropping!

There were Ooo's and Aaah's when we walked in and we had fun chasing each other all around the hall, having a sniff in the bags in case there was any food to be found!

Bag Sniffin for food!

No such luck, just the normal glue pots and and sparkle stuff!

Holly had an explore and found a notice she could not work out the reason for, why wash your 'hands' us puppies are clean girls, we don't handle our food.

Paws for Hand Washing!

We just shove our snouts into the bowl and bite lumps out. Much safer that way 'cos you never know what we tread in when we're out, glue, peel off's, pen ink, paints, sticky bits of sponge, well these Croppers are a strange bunch and you never know what they play with!

See you tomorrow, let's hope the sunshine is still here!

Daisy & Holly

Rainy Day Puppies

Hello to you all!

Daisy & Holly back again.

Friday started off very well, we had a good walk with Old Two Legs over the fields where we woofed at some skylarks and chased each other up and down the path.

We got back and after a good brush we were served some Pigs Liver and biscuits for breakfast. The Missus is learning you know!

Around nine there was a ring on the door bell and there stood the food man! He is always welcome at our door, especially if he is bringing our food!

Once all the food was put away TM gave us our Rawhide Chew, a sort of 'Friday Treat' for us.

As we only got one, that means there is some 'Grumbly Time' as Holly and I sort out who gets first chew. Today Holly got the chew first. I jumped in later and took it off her, so that meant more 'Grumbly Times' but we got over that in our normal way.

Around lunch time we were looking forward to a long walk with OTL but as soon as we stuck our noses outside the door we knew it was going to be a walk around the football field.

It was Raining, that slow steady drippy rain that soon makes you too wet to have fun.

A quick wee and a poo and we were running for home, leaving OTL a long way behind!

The rest of the day was spent having a snooze in our day bed and chewing on a carrot that Holly mugged from TM.

There was loads of carrot bits all over the house where Holly and I decided to stop for a chew!

We also had a game of 'Hide the Carrot' in our bed and we had to find it, while the other was still in bed!

Carrot Hunting!

That means loads of growling and snuffling and grumbles and some times we bite each others tail, pretending it's the carrot!

Needless to say we always end up having a cuddle and a snoozett, just before going down stairs to see what TM is doing for dinner!

Afternoon Cuddle, before dinner!

It was Chicken! She is certainly learning her lesson!

Sunshine tomorrow, so we are looking for some fun!

See you tomorrow,

Luv

D&H

Lumberjack Puppies!

Hi all,

It's D&H back again.

The Missus took us out this morning and after all our protest yesterday, what did she do?

Puppy Food Again for breakfast!

This is not on you know!

We have decided we will go on a 'Sit Down' strike in protest. Everywhere TM went, we would sit down in front of her and give her the old 'Hairy Eyeball' treatment.

When she wanted to go upstairs, we rushed in front of her and walked, slowly, up the stairs. It was the same when she came down, we got in front of her and slowly walked down.

Aunty Angela arrived today to play at card making with TM, the pair were gassing away and slapping the glue pot around, throwing sparkle stuff all over the carpet!

Holly decided to stay down stairs on the arm chair and put the 'Eye Ball' on the pair of them but it didn't seem to work.

Later, Old Two Legs had to take the printer down the rubbish dump, it stopped working and had gone on permanent strike!

Just across the road from the dump is The Farm!

We had a great time, 'cos we haven't been to The Farm for a while, there were so many new sniffs to sniff and woods to explore.

Sniffin New Sniffs!

We chased each other all through the woods and up the paths and across the field where the footpath went. We had a super run across the grass field where they keep sheep sometimes.

Then we saw it, an enormous pile of logs by the side of the road, waiting to be picked up. Well, Holly being champion climber, was straight up the top followed closely by me.

OTL was jumping up and down and telling us to get off because it could all fall down with our weight on top.

Yeh! Right, like, us little puppies are going to move that lot. No way!

Lumberjack Puppies!

When we finally got down from the pile, OTL put us both on our leads, just to teach us a lesson!

Oooooooh! He can be so masterful sometimes!

We understood he was only getting cross because he didn't want us to get hurt, so we forgave him this time for putting the lead on early.

On the way home in the car we were singing the Lumberjack Song, you know, the one that goes, 'I'm a Lumberjack and I'm all right, I work all day and I woof all night'

Then in turn we each add a silly line, like, 'I'm a Lumberjack, I wear a hat and I smell like a Pussy Cat'

Holly was laughing so hard, she was rolling around on the back seat of the car holding her ribs because, she said, they were hurting so much!

I'm not sure if it was the funny lines or OTL's singing!

Good news, TM must have got the message, we had Pigs Liver for dinner tonight, so it seems our strike worked after all!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly

Play Smelly for Us

Hello to you all out there,

Daisy & Holly back again after a funny old day.

We went out with Old Two Legs this morning for a run across the fields. When we got to the horses, Holly woofed at the horses in the field and I noticed there was a super smell on the ground, so I had a roll in it!

What I didn't know was that the horses were being fed by their owners and they had a big Woofing Dog with them!

Well, Holly went woof woof and this other dog turned around and went WOOF! WOOF! and chased after Holly, saw me and chased after ME!

We did our 'Run and Turn Quickly' trick which threw him off a bit but he still chased us all along the path until his owners called him back.

It was a bit hairy for a time but we outwitted him, 'cos we're smart puppies!

OTL got us back home and marched me straight into the kitchen, filled the bowl up with warm water and dog shampoo. I sort of knew what was going to happen next, yep, I got washed all over my back.

He washed off the smell, well not quite all of it, there was still a hint left to show off to Holly with!

That was until we wanted to follow OTL up into the loft, he lifted Holly up then came down for me.

Cuddled in his arm we climbed the ladder, 'Cor, Poo!' he said, 'You Honk!'

I thought I smelt OK, just sort of South of Doggy and West of Horse, if you know what I mean!

Not OTL, as soon as he got us out of the loft, he got out the 'Doggy Deodorant' and squirted it all over my back!

Did I jump or what!


That is not a nice thing to do to a little puppy like me.

Now I smell like the bathroom after The Missus has been getting ready for a party, all sort of flowers, talcum powder, tooth paste and the squirty smell she sprays all over her!

Mind you, we did get Lamb Mince today for breakfast and dinner, sort of makes it worthwhile, almost!

See you again tomorrow!

Luv

Daisy & Holly
