Mid Week Already!

Hi Woofers!

D&H Back with you again!

We went out for our morning run with Old Two Legs and as soon as we got outside, it started to rain, so it was a quick right hand turn and off we went to the Football Field! I had a chase around after the ball that OTL was kicking but Holly just sat down and refused to move! 'I'm getting wet and I want to go home' was all she would say, even when OTL chased her towards the ball.

Well, we walked down the field and were down near where all the children play on the swings when Holly spotted a cat, 'YAH!!!! ROOOOOOO!' she woofed, and ran at top speed towards the cat, I was just a couple of feet behind her!

The cat took one look and belted into the bushes by the side of the park with us closing in at high speed!

Then all sort of went crazy, we were crashing into the bushes looking for the cat, OTL was getting closer and laughing!

What he had seen was this pesky cat side stepping and letting us rush past, then turning around, walked quite gently over to his garden and over the fence!

That is one Sneaky Pussy Cat!

Lunch time we had a run down at The Sea Wall again, trying to catch the rabbit, I think that it is a lost cause, but as young fit puppies, we have to put on a show for the other animals around. I mean, we got to keep the side up!

The tide was right out, so we couldn't have a paddle and OTL said that if we went anywhere near the mud he would give us a shower!

No Sea and we can't play in the mud!

We went off into the long grass hunting grass snakes while OTL tried to compose a 'Converging Lines' type picture. This was one of the exercises he had to do at college, we think he should go back!

Converging Lines

We were hunting in the grass when Holly says she saw a snake, a big one called a 'Slow Worm', I said that all worms were slow, that's why the birds get them.

When I got over to where she was, I couldn't see anything, so I said she was seeing things again!

That's when the fight started and we were woofing at each other all down the path!

A Slow Worm that has Scarpered!

Home in time for some dinner and a little mug of OTL for some shortbread, we do love the taste, even though he only gives us a little bit off the end of the biscuit!

I think an early night may be called for 'cos I'm a little bit sleepy and I've already woofed at OTL to get my bed sorted!

Night night all, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

P.S. Yo Max Matey, don't worry about the 'mistake' we all do it from time to time, I blame the Two Legs for not noticing our discomfort! Mind you I've never liked having a wee in the rain, trying to concentrate with rain drops on your nose is not easy!

Have a good night and get them TL's going on the blog, I reckon it will be great, even if it is just photo's with funny titles!

See Ya Mate!

A Big Run Around Today

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you.

We have been all over the place today.

First we went out for our walk this morning with The Missus who took us around the football field, which is a lot shorter than around The Fields, we reckon we got short changed this morning and all because she wanted to make a card!

Not Fair!

We knew how to get our own way though, we just bullied Old Two Legs into taking us out early for our Rabbit Chasing Run along The Sea Wall!

So there!

We bullied OTL so much that he picked up his camera and forgot to check he had put the battery back after charging it!

So, no pictures of us swimming in the sea, wrestling giant rabbits, fighting off sea monsters and woofing at the big dogs! 

Shame really, I'm sure you would have found them interesting!

Back for a quick bite of lunch, we mug some of OTL's lunch then run down stairs to mug TM and wander out into the kitchen to sniff the Doggy Dinner out of the tin. Not very appetising!

Then after lunch we went out to do the deliveries and we were expecting another walk, as normal, but OTL went on a long drive with TM and us. We went all the way to a big town and stopped at a place that had loads of cars for sale. Hey Up! We thought OTL is after another motor!

We were left in the car while those two went poking around all the motors, not even asking our opinion on how comfortable it would be for us puppies!

There are important considerations you know, like where to store the chews, is there a sensible place to hang the lead and most important, where do you put the drinking bowl?

Well we didn't buy a car, which was just as well, 'cos we like the one we are in at the moment.

On the way back we stopped in the Riverside Park and had a run and a jump 'cos we had been good girls sitting in that car for such a long time!

First thing Holly and I did was to rush towards the brambles to see if the rabbits were still around, they weren't!

Off to see the Rabbits!

We went all the way to the end of the path and then decided that it was time for dinner. Now Holly reckons that any time is good for dinner and started to rush back along the path.

This gave OTL a chance to try the old 'Motion Blur' photography and he took a shot of Holly 'On A Mission'!

On A Mission!

It has sort of worked but we think he needs to try a few more shots before he gets it right!

We got back to the grass garden bit and had a super run around until OTL finally caught up with us, he just can't keep up, poor old thing!

A game on the grass before OTL arrives!

All this running around means that we were late getting home, and now late to bed, but as long as it is fun we don't mind!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly.

P.S. Yo Max mate, I bet your vet must charge a fortune, nibbles and treats while having a jab? All we get is 'This won't hurt' but it always does and it makes OTL cry, the bill that is!

Another Super Day

Hi Woofers!

D&H back again with you.

We want to know how Max got on at the VET, nasty old injections, we always end up with a sore rump when the vet does our injections. One day we're going to growl at the vet!

We know Old Two Legs growls at the vet when he gets the bill!

We went out with TM this morning to the Sea Wall, which was strange 'cos she never takes us there first thing, but it seems she needed to do some shopping at the Co-op that opened early, so it was a case of walkies then shoppies!

We had a good run and we showed TM where we chase Rabbits when we are with Old Two Legs!

We got back and then went out with OTL, taking the small car to the menders for repairs. Back home for a brush and some, (Late!) breakfast.

Lunch time we were back down to the Sea Wall with OTL and this time we surprised the rabbits, you see, as we had been down early in the morning, they did not expect us to be back again today, oh boy did we surprise them!

Holly went flying in one end of the bushes and I went in the other end and it was only by good luck that the rabbits got down their burrow just before we got to them!

As we got close to where OTL puts our lead on, we spotted a Scottie sort of dog being walked on a lead, so we woofed for him to come over to us for a game, but he said he was not allowed off the lead, but thanks for the invitation!

Strange lot some of these Two Legs, a dog has got to run to enjoy being alive, well we do anyway!

Come on Scottie, wanna game of chase?

This afternoon we got a carrot each. It was fun having a chew and making a mess on the carpet!

Holly took hers out into the garden and was walking around with it in her mouth, ('cos she don't trust me!), when Buster next door woofed 'Hello' and Holly, being a friendly dog woofed back, trouble is she had a mouth full of carrot, so it was not so much a woof, more of a Grumpher!

Buster and I did have a laugh over that, especially when I told him it was Holly with her carrot!

This evening has been fun 'cos we have been having a cuddle with OTL and mugging him for a nibble of his short bread.

So, another happy day having fun and chasing rabbits, maybe tomorrow we'll catch one.

Here's hoping that Max has got over his jabs!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Truly Lazy Sunday

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you on a fine sunny Sunday.

We have had a Lazy Day today, we sort of went to bed late last night and had a game with Old Two Legs. It sort of goes like this, 'OK you two, into bed and no woofing' we get into bed, Holly carries her carrot and as soon as she is in bed, she woofs. Then she grumbles and gives a little woof. OTL says 'OK that's enough, sleep!'

We pretend to go to sleep and while he is getting ready for bed, we jump up and have a run around chasing each other, then up stairs and onto the bed, wake The Missus up by jumping on her then down stairs for another run around.

OTL joins in the fun by chasing us and threatening to unscrew our tails and other pretend 'Terrible' things!

So, by the time we decide to go to bed, it's late and we over sleep in the morning, which is what happened to us!

After breakfast we had our snooze in with OTL who was messing about with his camera trying some new process to take pictures of small things like flies or bugs. Trouble is, he couldn't find any bugs, so he is trying to take pictures of a small bit of mud Holly had on her coat.

Some one really needs to have a chat with OTL, taking pictures of mud lumps!

Lunch time we went down to the Sea Wall for a run, we watched as the tide came in again pushing loads of grubby looking foam ahead of it.

Incoming Tide with Foam!

OTL kept us on the grass 'cos if we were allowed onto the beach we would be tempted to have a paddle in the mud!

We spent the afternoon snoozing on the sofa after a super lunch of chicken. Mid snooze, Holly decided to woof at some birds in the garden, which started Buster, who lives next door, barking his head off as well, which then woke up the doggy a couple of gardens away who went bonkers with the woofing that started his owner to shout at him to keep quiet that woke the baby up next door to them!

I told Holly to come back in before she woke the whole neighbourhood woke up!

So, we are off to an early night 'cos OTL says he is tired and TM says if we start 'our games' then we will be spending the night in the shed fighting the spiders!

Ooo! she can be hard sometimes!

Bye bye for now and see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly.

P.S. Hi Max, congratulations on the four day of house training, better than us and your only nine weeks old!

Holly still has a little wee if she gets too excited and she in nearly two years old!

Guess what? Your bed is the same one as mine and Holly's we both have giant paw prints on ours. They are super comfortable and we do enjoy a good wriggle and roll onto our back and have a super snooze!

The cushion is great for hiding chews and carrots!

A Saturday Swim

Hi Woofers,

Daisy & Holly back with you on a windy old Saturday.

We were up good and early this morning 'cos The Missus is off to her 'Crop' today, she missed the last one because we were on holiday. She has been getting all twitchy this past week, I suppose it's a phase these cardy type people go through if they don't get a regular fix of glue pots and glitter and peel-off's!

We didn't mind her going 'cos that means we can spend some time with Old Two Legs and have an adventure!

Today's adventure was to be a run down to The Marsh, but there was rain forecast for today so we decided that we may leave it until tomorrow, providing it doesn't rain tomorrow!

Instead we went down to the New Park where we both chased the tennis ball all over the place. OTL would throw or kick the ball and Holly and me chased it all down the paths and over the grassy fields, sometimes we would loose the ball in the long grass and OTL would have to find it for us.

OK Where's the ball?

Finally we arrived at the swimming hole, first of all there was just us there and we had fun splashing each other and OTL. Then he got the ball out and was throwing it into the water for me. As normal, he threw it just a little further than I could reach with my feet standing on the bottom. Suddenly I was swimming! All for paws off the bottom and paddling like I was running.

Look! Paws off the Bottom!

It was OK 'cos OTL was there but I did spin around and paddled towards shore a couple of times! The wind finally blew the ball in close enough for me to go in and get it, so OTL threw it out again and off I went, swimming again!

Look! I'm Swimming!

Now don't get the idea I am that confident yet, but I was certainly running and splashing with all the other big dogs!


The only bit of me that was not soaking wet was the top and back of my head!

It was great fun, Holly did come in the water but only for a paddle, you see, she doesn't do deep paddling or swimming and she says she prefers to keep her bits dry, thank you!

After a while I was starting to shiver, so OTL called me out and threw the ball in the grass and soon I was all dry again.

We stopped off to see if the Indians were about but there was no one at home.

No Indians at home today!

On the way back to the car we met up with a Spaniel type doggy and Holly was doing her 'Hello Puppy' bit when he turned around and kissed her on her nose!

Gissa Kiss?

Well, that made sit back on her tail!


Back home again and it wasn't long before TM got back from the crop, all happy 'cos she had been playing at card making, only problem with that was she didn't even make one card!

Bye bye for now and see you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy (The Mermaid) & Holly (Just been kissed)

P.S. 

Yo Max, I like the trick you played on your Two Legs, they couldn't find a pile or a puddle? Nice one, where did you hide them? We used to hide them under the dining room table!

Another thing, stick to the flower bed for digging holes, it takes the Two Legs some time to find them and it's easier to dig than a lawn!

Best of luck my lad!

A Two Walk Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again.

We have had a super day with a not so super end!

It started this morning when The Missus took us for our morning walk over the fields, we had a woof at a Labrador who got the wrong end of the stick and thought we were being rude, so we stopped woofing and hid behind TM!

Back home for a brush and breakfast (chicken & biscuits), then a snooze in Old Two Legs office.

Near to midday we did our 'we wanna go out' trick and he fell for it! I suppose the pile of stuff to be delivered did help as well!

First of all we stopped off at the New Park.

I was chasing the ball in and out of the water and providing OTL didn't throw it too far in I was able to get it out. You just can't trust OTL, he threw it too far and I was struggling to get it.

It's too far out!

Then along came this big hairy Retriever who already had one ball in his mouth, he went in and picked my ball up as well!

Get Me Ball Mister?

I chased after him and tried to get the ball back but he said it was a case of 'Finders, Keepers'!

Aw! Come on, Gissma Ball Back Mister!

OTL, being the crafty Two Legs that he is, called to him and pretended to throw something in the water, the Retriever dropped both balls and went looking for whatever OTL had thrown in the water!

That was it, I got my ball back and OTL picked up the other ball and threw it in the water so the Retriever could jump in and get it!

Sneaky or wot?

I Got My Ball Back!

A bit further on we met Monty a super little Labrador that OTL fell in love with 'cos he used to have a Labrador called Mutters. His real name was Sandy but he was always known as Mutters to everyone!

Monty Dog!

After the walk we went on to deliver all of OTL's stuff and headed for home.

We had spent some time asleep on the seats and decided that we wanted another walk before we got home. So, sticking my nose out of the window, I caught the smell of The Farm! So we bullied OTL until he pulled into the car park!

Yes! A result!

We went on our normal path along side the woods, then we turned up the hill and onto the field where they had grown wheat this summer. Only when we got there, the wheat had all gone and there was this super sniff all over the place!

OTL has a very bad sense of smell  fact it has almost gone.

Holly decided to have a roll in this super sniff. While OTL was chasing Holly to stop her rolling on the ground, I just could not help myself, I just had to have a roll as well!

OTL spotted the tractor down the end of the field, the tractor with the big tank on a trailer, the tractor with the tank on a trailer full of cow poo that the farmer had just been spreading all over the field!

Tractor & Trailer full of Super Sniff!

We honked, we were walking in a haze of smell, it sort of surrounded us like a force field!

When we got home it was straight into the kitchen and a sink full of doggy shampoo. After OTL had dried us and brushed us so we looked super smart, he got out a spray can full of doggy deodorant, it was horrid!


I preferred the cow poo, at least it's natural!


Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Over to see The Boys today!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again, all worn out and happy!

We spent the morning playing at home, well, Old Two Legs took us out first thing this morning then got all tangled up in bits of paper and office type work. So, we left him alone and spent some time in the garden chasing each other up and down the path and in and out of the lounge, and all over the sofa and chairs!

We were almost too exhausted to go out down the Sea Wall, almost, but not too exhausted!

First of all we had to get OTL out early 'cos we are going over to baby sit Ooops! No, we are 'Child Minding' The Boys after school. Mind you Tom is a big boy now because he goes to the grown up Secondary School where they are teaching him things that he will need to know when he goes out to work!

He looks super smart in his new uniform!

We won't need to go to school 'cos as a doggy, we know everything already!

So, back to OTL, a sneaky little woof gets his attention, then we jump up on his lap and lick his ear, jump down and go to the door and woof again, by then it has clicked with him and he starts to put all the paper into a pile!

Once he has his boots on, we're off!

When we get out of the car, it is at full speed, us, not the car! We are off to surprise the rabbits who live around the corner in the brambles. Sometimes we see them and sometimes we don't!

Today, we didn't surprise them!

I smell Rabbits, but where?

We woofed and crashed through the brambles and woofed some more but I think they may have gone out for the day 'cos it's so sunny!

Holly got fed up with looking for the rabbits and went down on the beach to have a walk. She said she looked just like a Beach Babe and walked along the wall wiggling her tail!

I'm a Beach Babe!

I was more interested in the sniffs in the grass and I said I was the Queen of The May dancing through all the flowers!

Queen of The May!

Holly said that as normal, I was late 'cos it's September and I couldn't be Queen of The September. I told her to get on with her wiggling 'cos she looked like a worm!

Watching people, watching the tide come in!

That was when she chased me all along the wall and forgot about wiggling her tail!

We stopped and watched the tide come in and all the dirty looking foam washing up on the beach. There were some people on the beach playing in the muddy water, laughing and giggling. Holly said the OTL wouldn't giggle if we were to dance in the mud!

Watching the tide come in.

On the way back to the car we saw a man standing at the railings watching the tide come in. OTL reckons he was on his lunch break and was looking for some gulls to feed his sandwich crusts to, Holly said that he could feed them to her if he couldn't find any gulls!

In the distance was saw a fisherman almost running along the sea wall with all his gear, he was rushing to get the best position along the wall for catching fish. We both woofed out that he had better hurry 'cos the fish were just about to go home. He didn't think that was funny and totally ignored us!

Late for the High Tide!

Soon after we got back, we went off with The Missus, over to see The Boys.

We had a dig in the garden, just to let them know we were there and some fun chasing each other all over the place!

It was good to get back to OTL and ask if he missed us, silly question really, we gave him lots of licks and he gave us both tickles behind the ears and a cuddle!

 Best of all, there is a Sheep Dog trials on television, going on over four days and today is the first. Well Holly and me sat there and watched it and we were judging each dog they showed.

By the time they finished, we reckon we could have done better, Away to Me, Come Bye, Darn, Lay Darn!

Now where have we heard that before!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

P.S. Max, Don't kill your bed or it will be lumpy to sleep in! Also, try something to chew on like some Rawhide Chews, (Tesco do them) they will help you when your teething!

Mid Week Adventure

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again and it's Wednesday already!

I don't know where the week goes, by the time we've had a snooze, eaten a meal or two and had a run out with Old Two Legs, half the week has gone by!

Today OTL didn't have a lot to do in the office, so he decided to have a 'Clear Up', this is where he moves everything around and ends up putting it in a different place. Holly and me try to help him but as he says, if we keep putting his mobile phone under our blanket, how is he going to answer it if it rings?

Holly says he should turn it off and take us out for a run in the woods, especially as it is such a sunny day!

And that is what he did, with a little bullying from us, but he did leave his mobile switched on!

just for a change, we went down to The Forest, we haven't been down there for ages, so it was a case of 'Nose to the Ground' and catch up on all the new sniffs.

Loads of Sniffs

Of course, Holly just 'Had' to climb up a tree and OTL just 'Had' to fiddle with the picture!

A Holly Treecreeper!

OTL says he caught sight of a Stoat or maybe it was a Weasel, he wasn't too sure as he couldn't see the tail. As he has been told before, 'A Weasel is Weasily recognised but a Stoat is Stoatally different'!

Holly suggested that as we were part Fox Terrier, we should try sniffin out some fox trails, so we got our noses down and off we went, weeell, we didn't find any foxes but we did see a squirrel and I chased it up a tree but just to be unfriendly, it threw some chestnuts down at us, still in their spiky shells!

Sniffin for Foxes.

After the squirrel episode, Holly tried to teach me to climb trees but I was not as sure footed as her and got nervous and wouldn't go up very high, not even when she started to make fun of me by saying, 'Me Jane, You Monkey'!

Me Jane, you Monkey!

When we got back home we were tired little puppies and spent the rest of the afternoon having a snooze in OTL's office!


Yo Max, what's this Mad Max thing? Don't those Two Legs know that after a good feed we all love having a rush around, followed by a snoozett! Holly and me normally beat each other up for half an hour or so and sometimes we even beat up OTL! I normally try to unscrew Holly's tail and she tries to bite my legs! Then we have a cuddle with OTL or TM!

OTL is going to have an early night tonight, I think we have worn him out running through the forest!
See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

P.S.  Hey Max, have you thought about staring your own blog? It could be great, we could swap tips and jokes and recipes!

Busy Day Today

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again.

Hello Max, how's the training going? Have you got the Two Legs sorted yet?

We were up early this morning with The Missus, she was banging and crashing about making the place look tidy and trying to wake Old Two Legs up by switching the bedroom lights on and banging cupboard doors!

It didn't work, not until we set about his ears with our tongues!

That got him moving!

Super sunshine this morning and the wind had dropped, so it was a great run around the fields with TM. Back for a brush with OTL and breakfast of chicken and biscuits , that's the way to start the day!

This morning as spent snoozing on the bed then TM gave us the last of the chicken strips, it tasted super so we are going to remind OTL to get some more when we go out!

OTL has been busy up loading some pictures onto his web site. They are of the otter and the eagles we saw on holiday, Holly still thinks that the eagle would taste like chicken!

We did a bit of bullying with OTL, we went into the office and woofed at him! He was unsure of what we wanted first of all, he thought there was something wrong, then it clicked, We Want Walkies!

Before long we were at the top of Blue Bell Hill and chasing rabbits all over the place!

Rabbits..........Charrrrrrrrge!

 We spotted this giant rabbit looking at us over the hedge, that was it, off we went in our best Doggy Charge, woofing and howling at the tops of our voices!

Let's make an Ambush!

 We flew down the path and into the trees and it was there that the rabbit disappeared into the trees. So Holly, being a little out of breath, said, Let's make an Ambush, then when he comes back up the path, we've got him!

Now that would have been OK except that when he came back, he brought a load of his mates with him, there must have been hundreds!

Holly said we should climb the tree 'cos rabbits don't climb trees, but I pointed out that neither do I!

They were surrounding us and I felt just like Custer did at the Last Stand, nervous!

I think we're surrounded!

We we standing there thinking what to do next when all of a sudden they stopped advancing and it was then that we heard OTL come crashing through the trees, he was trying to catch up with us and was all out of breath and puffing and blowing and shouting our names!

That was it, the rabbits scattered behind the trees and OTL had cleared a path for our retreat!

That was the opportunity we were waiting for and we dashed past OTL and up the path again! OTL turned around and started to run after us but he was not doing very well. Poor OTL has trouble running and breathing at the same time and soon we left him behind in the trees. We could hear that he was sort of OK 'cos his breathing was so loud, it sounded like a jet engine on steroids!

Do you think we lost them?

By the time OTL had caught up with us, he was as red as a beetroot and puffing fit to bust! It was good to see he managed to scare off the rabbits though, that was a close thing!

On our way back to the car we saw a Two Legs with a mountain bike and he was preparing to go down the path we had just come up, Holly says we should warn him but I reckon he could out run the rabbits, providing he was going down hill!

Shall we tell him?

Back home to a dinner of chicken and biscuits and a bit of beef mugged from OTL at dinner time, he really is a sucker for the old 'Hairy Eye Ball' and a little woof! (Max, make notes!)

Off to bed now, I've got Holly's carrot and I have hidden her chew under my blanket so we are in for a fun night!

Bye bye for now.

Luv'

Daisy & Holly

Monday Fun

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again.

We had a super night last night, early to bed, run around the house just when it gets near to dawn and an after wake up snooze, before waking Old Two Legs with a 'Good Morning' ear lick!

Make notes Max, this is how to keep them on their toes!

The wind was blowing and the rain was getting right into our coats when The Missus was taking us out for our walk, so it was a quick run around then back for an 'after walk' snoozett!

Lunch time was better, the wind blew but the rain had stopped and the sunshine had come out from behind the clouds.

The only problem was, how do we get OTL to stop working and take us out.

No problem!

It's time to stop working and go 'Walkies'!

Off we went to the Sea Wall, as the wind was blowing from the south we didn't have the waves crashing over the wall, instead the wind was trying to blow the sea back out again!

Hello Woofers!

Holly said 'Hello' to a couple of Labrador dogs and they had a good sniff of each other, I had better things to do, like looking for rabbits!

Coo-Eee Mr Rabbit!

I think that Mr Rabbit may have gone out for the day 'cos there was no sign of him at all!


Mr Rabbit is now getting as sneaky as those Badgers and Squirrels!

 When we got back home there was some super liver for dinner and afterwards we were given a carrot each. Now you may not know, but Holly and me just love carrots, especially Holly, she even sleeps with hers just in case she feels like a nibble during the night.

Best of all is when she has a cuddle with OTL on his chair, she even takes it with her then!

A cuddle and a carrot, life is good!

Early night tonight, just so we can get up early for OTL.

Bye bye for now and a big woof to Max.

Give them a lick on their nose and you will get what ever you want, well it works here my lad!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Carrot Queen)
