Another wekend of fun!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly & the weekend's here again.!

We were out first thing down the Sea Wall to see the rabbits. The tent had gone so we did our creep around the brambles and a last dash to the rabbit holes!

Charge!!!

We absolutely flew down the side of the brambles, Holly was close on my heels and woofing like the Hound from Hell!

They've gone again!

Trouble was, the rabbits had gone to stay with their old Uncle Barney who lives down the coast a bit. It seems that they didn't get any sleep worrying about the Blue Tent and they all got ratty with each other and decided to go see Uncle Barney, just for a rest!

Let's build a sandcastle

We wandered along the beach and Holly suggested we build a sandcastle but forgot we didn't have any spades to dig the sand with, the rabbits had locked up their shovels in the shed so we couldn't get to them either!

Another Mushroom!

OTL showed us a fungi he had not down loaded from his camera, Holly said they looked a funny colour and what were they called, OTL says he didn't know! I mean, what is the good of photographing something you don't know the name off!

Tonight The Missus has gone off baby sitting again so Holly, OTL and me have been sitting on the sofa, drinking and eating shortbread and chewing chews and watching TV. Holly started singing the 'Woofing Song' to try and compete with the neighbours who are having a party!

OTL has told a few jokes about when he was working in a factory and found a Gremlin in the machinery!

It is now well past ten thirty, so we are all going to bed now 'cos we are all yawning our heads off!

Depending on what time we wake up in the morning, we may watch the F1 racing, or see the recording!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Friday with a suprise!

Hello Woofers,

Daisy & Holly here again!

We went out with Old Two Legs this morning for our walk and he took us to the Sea Wall. So, we pulled into the car park, all ready for some rabbit chasing, as soon as the door was opened we just flew down the path.

Half way down we both stopped, there was this fantastic sniff coming from a patch of grass and we just had to stop for a serious sniff!

By then OTL had caught up and reminded us that we were chasing the rabbits!

Off we went again and did our normal trick of sneaking up to the brambles and then running flat out around the corner to surprise them.

Only this time it was us who got surprised, there, right where the rabbits normally feed, in the middle of their feeding patch, there was a Bell Tent, with a fire outside the front door flap.

I stopped dead in my tracks, Holly, who hadn't seen the tent, ran into the back of me, cold wet nose and all, lifted my back legs off the ground and shoved me forwards!

When she had stopped as well, we both had a good look at this thing, didn't see anyone, so we woofed at it, turned around and ran back to OTL. Well, you just don't know what was living in that tent, it could have been a visiting Giant Rabbit who didn't like little puppies like us!

Better be safe than sorry and let OTL deal with it if it came out!

Back home it was a super brush to get all the burrs out then chicken and biscuits followed by a snooze!

A bit later OTL took us down to The Forest, which was great, 'cos we haven't been there for some time, so there were loads of new sniffs for sniffin!

With all the leaves on the ground it was great fun sorting out the sniffs!

Sniffin the Sniffs!

OTL had brought his camera gear with him to try photographing the fungi but because it has been so dry this week, there was almost no fungi to be seen. Those we did see were all old stuff and dry and we reckon they were last years anyway!

It didn't stop us hunting around for something to photograph, well, we do like to help OTL with his hobby!

Nuffin Here!

Holly and me went everywhere looking for fungi, we went over the dead trees and under the trees, but it was no good, OTL had to go without his Fungi Photo!

Nuffin here either!

Poor OTL, after lugging his gear around the forest all he could take pictures off were our backsides!

Mind you I did tell Holly that he had to use a wide angle lens for her picture!

That was just before we got in trouble for fighting!

F1 qualifying tomorrow, so we are up good and early for that, off to bed now!

Bye bye to you all and also Max and Dougal!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Hey! Is that Rain I feel on my back?

Yo Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again.


The Missus took us out for our morning walk, it was OK when we went out, heading for the Fields, we got half way around our normal route the rain started, a little spray to begin with, then it got wetter and then it got uncomfortable!

Holly was the first to complain, she sat down on her bottom and said in a loud voice, 'That's it, I've had enough' I must say I felt the same way as well. So, we turned around and started walking back, TM was calling us but we had held our committee meeting and come to a conclusion, Home!


So, in no time at all, not even stopping for the sniffs we missed on the way out, we went straight back to Old Two Legs who was waiting with the Doggy Towel to give us a good rub down and a brush. TM had to rub herself down 'cos she wouldn't wait for OTL to finish with us and also she was making a big puddle on the kitchen floor where the rain was dripping off her nose and chin!

Breakfast was chicken and biscuits, super yummy, 'Tails up, Muzzles down' it was finished in no time!

Off up to OTL's office for our normal 'After Breakfast Snooze'

OTL says we take snoozing to new high level, but I thought we always stayed in the bed!

Expert Snoozers!

 That's what I like about living with OTL and TM, we get to learn new skills every day, snoozing, mugging, napping, food taster, sleeping and short bread nibbling!

Life is one long education here!

We are off to bed early tonight 'cos tomorrow is Friday and we plan to go out down the forest, providing it's not raining, to see if there is some more fungi 'cos OTL has got the bug and wants to photograph some more!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

P.S. Yo Dougal Mate, we were getting worried about not hearing from you, hope you are well and getting well looked after! Have you seen young Max has his own blog? Trouble is, he has to wait for his Two Legs to write it up for him, he hasn't learnt how to claw type yet, but he's only young and will get the hang of it soon!

Mid week with a Woof!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again.

All of a sudden it is mid week again, it seems like yesterday it was Wednesday, then here it comes again!

It was good to have The Missus back with us again, she has been away every day looking after one of the boys 'cos he has been off school, not feeling very well.

Well today he went back to school and he was not happy about that at all, showed of good and proper!

TM took us out for our morning walk and we had fun running across the fields. Breakfast was chicken and biscuits, one of our favourite meals!

After a snooze we woke up to TM playing games with us, well, she heard us woof at a sparrow who was sitting on the tree in the garden, so hearing us woof, she woofed as well, that started Holly off, woofing 'cos TM's woofing and then I started to woof 'cos Holly was woofing, (always back your sister up when she's woofing!), then Old Two Legs gets up from his office and comes down stairs to see what all the woofing's about and woofs at us!

It was a mad five minutes with us all woofing! In the end Holly and I fell on the floor laughing and wagging our tails, OTL called us 'Potty Puppies' and went back to work!

After our lunchtime walk down by the Sea Wall, we got home and were just thinking of what to order for lunch when TM spots a cat in the back garden.

Oh look, she says, a Cat!

Now we are not too good on the Two Legs habit of pointing with their front legs, you see, us dogs look at which way the nose is pointing and TM was looking towards the front of the house while still pointing her front leg to the back of the house!

As it seemed urgent we went with our natural instincts and rushed to the front window, we quickly realised our mistake turned around and ran to the back door. TM had just opened the door as we got there but as I flew out, I knocked Holly to one side and instead of her jumping through the opening, she tumbled tail over paws out of the door!

I was off after the cat (Hissin Chrissy), who ran around the back of the shed and across the garden and over the fence.

Holly and I were in hot pursuit, I had just reached the fence, looking up to where Hissin Chrissy had gone over the fence, Holly by then was level with my shoulders and bumped into me, I fell over, rolled once and head butted the fence, while still woofing like mad!

Buster, who lives on the other side of the fence had taken the up the chase and pursued Hissin Chrissy across the garden and watched as she flew up and over the brick wall!

It was great fun while it lasted and TM said we were just like the Keystone Cops, whoever they are!

We were having our afternoon snooze when we heard a loud tapping sound coming from the  monitor screen OTL has in his office. We watched a Blue Tit doing some house work, she was clearing out a ton of poo she had left in there last winter when she slept in there every night. She was too lazy to get up and go outside!

House Work!

Who knows, we may get her making a nest next year!

We're off for dinner now, we will have a sniff at ours then run around to OTL and see what we can mug off him. He has sausages tonight, some special sausages he gets direct from the farmer who breeds pigs. They taste wonderful and so does the bacon he gets as well, no nasty white stuff on it and it has a super 'smoky' taste to it as well.

Must stop now 'cos I have started to dribble over the keyboard!

Bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

P.S. Max, try sitting on his lap, right in front of him, when he is trying to do or watch something, then woof at him, in the nicest possible way. He'll get so worried after a while that he will do your blog just to let everyone know what your doing!

Bullying OTL

Hello Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly back again.

We have been with Old Two Legs again today as The Missus has been out all day.

First thing this morning we went for a walk along the Sea Wall, it is great there 'cos we got rabbits to chase and it's fun running along the beach, even if it is shingle and not sand. If it was sand we could dig big holes every day!

Back home again we had breakfast of liver and biscuits then a snooze before woofing at OTL that we wanted to go for a walk. He was busy working in the office but both Holly and me know just how to get him organised!

I start off by jumping up at the side of his chair, then Holly, from the front room, woofs at a passing bird or something. Then I jump up again and OTL says 'What do you want?' Then Holly woofs some more and OTL goes down stairs to find out what she is barking at, finds nothing and heads up stairs again. By now I'm at the top of the stairs, wagging my tail like mad and giving OTL the old 'Hairy Eyeball'.

The he gets the message and says 'Do you want to go for a walk?' well, that sets me off woofing and by then he's putting his boots on!

Next stop the Football Field where we have a game of 'chase the ball' and woof at the sparrows and starlings on the grass.

When we get back home it's a bite of lunch and a snooze before we start again!

This time it's a trip to the New Park, we raced down to the Swimming Hole and met up with a young lad who was there with his owner.

Can I play?

As soon as OTL threw the ball in the water he ran in and fetched it out! I mean, what a cheek! I woofed at him but it made no difference. That was until he got put on the lead, that stopped his games!

He's got my ball!

We then met up with a couple of Retrievers who were enormous and I got all big and brave and we touched noses. I had nowhere to run to so that was the only thing  could do!

Hello little girl!

Holly and me met a couple of Yorkie's who were about our size, so, me and Holly didn't mind saying hello to them!

It's the Yorkie Lads

OTL is messing about with his fungi photo's and we asked him what he learnt over the weekend. He said it was all to do with Reciprocity Failure and Depth of Field. Holly said she knew what he was talking about and it was to do with Chicken Tails, but as far as I was concerned, he was talking from under his tail!

Still, they look pretty!

Fungi #6

Fungi #7

Holly says they are poison and OTL is messing with dangerous plants!

We will have to make sure he washes his hands!

Bye bye for now, dinner is on the table, OTL's dinner that is!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Monday with OTL

Yo Ho Woofers!

All is well with the world of Daisy & Holly, He's Back!

It was good last night having Old Two Legs back with us, well, The Missus don't drink whisky or eat short bread, so we missed out on our nibble of shortbread when OTL has a slurp!

You just don't realise how you can miss these little things!

We got a good nights sleep last night, no worrying if OTL was OK and if he was getting fed properly, like he does at home.

We also found out that as OTL is a bit over six feet, his feet normally hang out of the hotel beds, so he ends up with cold feet during the night and yes, he was suffering from cold feet! Also, the single bed had a duvet that covered the bed but when he got in bed, the duvet kept wanting to slide off, so all night long he was waking up to find the duvet and rub his feet so they got warm again!

He should have taken us and then we could have given him a cuddle and warmed his feet!

We had a look at  some of his pictures and Holly pricked up her ears when he said that one was called a Turkey Tail and she asked if it tasted like chicken!

That's the trouble with Holly, so predictable!

Here is some of the photos he took.

Fungi #1

Fungi #2

Fungi #3

Fungi #4

We thought the best photo was of some of the group trying to photograph a fungus half way up a dead tree. Holly thought the caption should read,

'Go on, Jump, I've got the net and we've got two cameras, just in case I miss!'

Go on, Jump!

On the second day, Sunday, after everyone had shown their pictures and had been praised or criticised, OTL learnt a few things and managed to produce this one.

Fungi #5

He said it was a 'Amanita citrina' or False Death Cap, so we will stay away from anything that looks like that!

We went out this afternoon to the Riverside Park, which was great as the tide had come in and we could woof at the gulls!

Tonight OTL was given a curry, which is one of his favourite meals, next to a Fillet Steak or a Chinese with all the trimmings or may be a steak and kidney pie or a Donner Kebab or sausage and chips or maybe a Kofti Kebab with two pieces of Pitta Bread!

In fact, we think OTL is a bit like us, if it tastes good, eat it!


So, we tried to mug a bit of curry from him tonight but all we got was a bit on Naan Bread dipped into the curry gravy!

Back to the shortbread!


See you tomorrow.

Luv,


Daisy & Holly

Guess who is back!

Hello Woofers,

Daisy & Holly here!

Guess who is back?

Yes, it's Old Two Legs back from his weekend away!

He didn't get back until half past eight and by the time we had licked him clean of all that Norfolk dust it was too late to tell yo all what has happened today, so we will have to do it tomorrow!

Now we're off to give OTL another lick and a cuddle and hear what he has been up too!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A night without OTL and a visit from The Cat Woman!

Hi Woofers,

Daisy & Holly here once more!

It was strange last night, not having Old Two Legs here to make sure we got our last wee before bed.

No OTL to tuck us in and tell a bedtime story!

What was worse, no OTL to wake up with a lovely lick and get a snooze with first thing in the morning!

The Missus will have to do, but she doesn't taste the same as OTL!

We got our walk this morning and breakfast of chicken. Did I tell you that last night we had Lambs Heart for dinner? It was new to us and tasted wonderful, another thing to put on the list of 'Good Food'!

Today Auntie Karen (The Cat Woman) came over to help TM make a mess making cards, she brought us both a present which was very kind of her. Well, we sat down to have a chew but then we started to argue over who's chew we were going to chew, that's when we got in trouble, again!

At lunch time we all went for a walk along the Sea Wall and once again we didn't get to meet the rabbits up close.

Then we managed to get TM to take us out over the football field where I chased the ball and Holly chased the stick TM threw for her, so all in all, a bit more exercise!

We are off to bed early tonight 'cos TM will be up first thing in the morning to watch the F1 racing, so I can see us getting an an early morning, after an 'after get up snooze' on the bed!

It's super curling up on Old Two Legs pillow 'cos we can still smell him on the pillow and when he goes to bed tomorrow, he will be able to smell us, unless of course, TM changes the bed clothes!

So, it's good night from both of us and see you again tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A New Chicken For Holly

Hello Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly here with you again via Cromer on The Wash!

Old Two Legs was off this morning after taking us for a stroll along the Sea Wall this morning. We chased the rabbits as normal and as normal, they got away!

Hello Mr Rabbit?

There was a couple of fishermen teaching the worms to swim and a big dog was guarding their fishing rods! We had our walk and got back to the car just before it started to rain, which was good as far as Holly and I were concerned. I mean, I don't mind swimming and getting wet but I would rather not get wet from the rain, it always seems colder and goes straight through my fur!

Back for breakfast of Chicken Doggy Food, no thanks, not unless I'm desperate or starving to death!

A little later there was chicken, cooked just right and served with doggy biscuits, scrumptious!

OTL got all his stuff down and loaded it all into the car then came back to say good bye, Holly and me both gave him a lick, I licked his ear and Holly licked his nose!

Lunch time I had to remind The Missus about our walk and she took us down to the Sea Wall! Holly was going on about how tasty the chicken was this morning and how she wished she could have had more, I said she would explode if she eat any more! Then we both got a whiff of a sort of chicken smell, close, strong but with a more earthy sniff. I stood up on my hind legs, like I do, and had a good look around, then I spotted it.

I smell Chicken!!!

It was a sort of chicken sized bird but all bronze and golden coloured and it had a very long tail. I know it was a long tail 'cos it was pointing towards me!

Off I went after it, like a streak of light, Holly was close behind me and she was STEAMING!

Now it's OK chasing birds and even chickens but when they think you are getting too close, they fly off!

Very bad sports they are and yes, that's what this bird did, off it went into the air, the most enormous male Pheasant I have ever seen, I mean, it would have been breakfast, lunch, dinner and tomorrows breakfast all in one!

I put our lack of success down to an over extended tummy due to the super chicken we had for breakfast, but on the other hand, Holly's failure I put down to her expanding tummy and big bottom!

To add insult to it all, we got covered in burrs chasing that bird and we had to put up with TM picking them out for an hour or so!

Back home for dinner, more doggy food, :-(

OTL telephoned to say he got to the hotel and there are no dogs here, just a big cat who hissed at him! Holly wants to go up there and show that cat what happens when a guest gets hissed at!

We had a chat with OTL and he says he is going to have an early night 'cos he has got to be up early in the morning, which would be no trouble if we were with him!

We are going to cuddle up on his jacket this evening and pretend he is here with us, well, his smell is anyway!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

P.S. Max, we have been told that if you do that too often to the cushion, you'll go blind, or then again, it might be deaf?

Autumn is on it's way!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again with you.

It started off this morning being rather cloudy and with the promise of some rain soon. However, that didn't stop Old Two Legs taking us down to the Sea Wall first thing this morning. He said that as it had been raining last night, you can bet the Fields would be all muddy and full of large puddles, the sort we like to jump in!

When we got to the Sea Wall, we surprised the rabbits, 'cos we ran around the bushes and didn't even woof on the way, like we normally do!

There they were, loads of them, far more than we had seen before, they were out having breakfast 'Alfresco'!

Holly and I jumped into the middle of them all and shouted BOO! It may have sounded like a WOOF but we meant the same thing!

That was  it, the rabbits ran off in different directions, it was difficult deciding which one to chase! By the time we picked one they were already disappearing into the brambles!

Still, it was good fun while it lasted!

Back home again for breakfast and a good brushing down from OTL, I especially like the choccy drop before and afterwards, a sort of 'reward' for laying still while he brushes the knots, bits of leaf and burrs out of our fur and makes us look super smart!

We let him get on with his work and enjoyed an 'after breakfast snooze' in his office.

My internal clock went off around twelve thirty and I jumped up against the office chair and gave him my very best 'Wanna go Walkies' look, then a little woof and put my head on the side.

As normal, he asks me what I want and I put my head on the side as well and give him a serious look that is WALKIES written all over my face!

We always play this game and when I see him get his boots from under the desk, I jump up and paw them to say hurry up!

It seemed like it was no time before we landed at the New Park and Holly and I raced off down the path to chase the ball that OTL thrown for us. Then a race down to the Swimming Hole to wait for OTL to throw the ball in the water. This time he didn't, he said it was too windy, to cold to go in swimming, so I had to make do with a paddle instead!

This Autumn stuff is really boring, I mean, can't go swimming, can't roll in the mud, can't stay out in the wind, can't dig in the garden and all OTL wants to do is take pictures of trees where all the leaves are dying, I mean, just how dopey can you get?

Holly says this is Lat 51, 18N Long 0, 16E

OTL is off on his course tomorrow so I won't have the laptop computer to do this blog, so what I'm going to do is telephone OTL in the evening and tell him what has been happening and he will have do the typing. So watch out for spelling mistakes 'cos he's not very good at spelling and he won't be back until Sunday!

So, Holly and me are going to give him a big cuddle tonight while we mug him for some shortbread!

Bye bye for now.


Luv,

Daisy & Holly
