Blue skys and sun shine!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

We have been out first thing with Old Two Legs, having our run down at the Sea Wall again. When the weather is good it's a super place for a sniff and you can get sniffs coming in from all over the area!

We saw some fishermen with their buckets and forks going off to look for worms again and OTL took a picture he calls 'Early Morning', it wasn't really, but it could be!

'Early Morning'

There were a couple of big black Labrador dogs walking along the wall and one shoved Holly off the path onto the beach. It was no big deal, Holly and me do it to each other all the time but it got the owner all apologetic and one of the dogs got a smack on the back legs!

OTL never smacks us at all 'cos we're good little girls! When we do something naughty he barks at us in a deep and loud bark he does when he is cross. So we know not to do it again.

It only seems to work with us, The Missus takes no notice of him at all!

A bit further on a five month old Labrador cross breed came bounding down the path and OTL bent down and said 'Hello' but as soon as he bent over, the Labrador stopped, turned around and ran back to its owner!

Come on, Lets Play a Game!

 It only wanted to play but it was all bouncy and jumping about, he even jumped up at OTL!

Well that was it, no one jumps up at our OTL when we're around, so both Holly and me woofed at him and I even jumped up on OTL's lap and woofed at him some more!

That sorted him out, off he went, no one messes with us!

Back home and a super snooze for most of the morning, until lunch time, then it was bully OTL to hurry up and finish his Marmite sandwich and mug of tea, so we can go down the Sea Wall again!

This time there were no doggy's except us, so, no fun and games, just a good walk full of sniffs and a chase with Holly!

After our lunch of chicken and Doggy Food, TM has started to mix it all up together, we went up to OTL's office and had an 'After Lunch Snooze'

Expert Snoozing by Experts!

This afternoon, late, around three thirty we bullied OTL into going for a walk along the Sea Wall and as we rummaged and sniffed our way up and down the beach, the sun went to bed! It got all dark half way through the sniffs!

A good excuse to stay close to OTL and get home in time for some nibbles before bed!

We are going to have an early night tonight 'cos we may be woken up by that noisy fox again! You know, last night around four in the morning we had to woof him away from the dustbins and we were so good at it that TM joined in as well, then stayed up 'cos she couldn't go back to sleep again!

We didn't mind that at all 'cos that means there's more room on the bed to have a cuddle with OTL!

Sneaky or wot!

Bye bye for now and don't forget, tomorrow is the weekend!

Happy Days!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Fox Terrors!)

I'm in trouble, Again!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again!

Last night it was boring, Boring, BORING!

OTL not only pinched our chews but also our carrots as well! Nothing to nibble on in the night!

Boring BORING BORING!

So, having slept most of the night we were up early and to pay him back, Old Two Legs not only got the 'Cold Wet Nose' but he also got the 'Let's sit on his Head' game!

That woke him up!

OTL took us out for the early morning walk and off we went to the Sea Wall, great fun and we didn't go hunting Giant Bunnies this time, instead we chased each other along the wall.

Holly on a Mission!

Yesterday we saw that someone had left their fork in the mud after digging for worms.

I've Left Me Fork Behind!

Today it was still there, sticking up in the air, wonder what happened to the digger, Holly reckons a giant worm got him!

The Worm's got Him!

I decided to have an 'explore' around the old defence ditch which is very deep and totally ignored OTL when he was calling me. So, he had to walk all the way back to the earth bridge and around the other side to get me.

I was put on the lead for the rest of the walk while Holly was allowed to run free!

Now I'm not a happy puppy about that, especially as I had to sit down when OTL was taking a picture of a Curlew!

Not that it was any god 'cos the light was behind it and all he got was a black shape that looks like a Curlew!

When we got back home we found Auntie Angela had arrived to slap the glue pot around and help throw glitter all over the place, these card people can be real messy sometimes!

So, after a brush, we went off to find our breakfast, stewing steak! The Missus had picked up a bargain at the local supermarket, so steak for us while OTL has rabbit food called Muesli!

Poor Old Two Legs !!!

Just to let him know there are no hard feelings, I let him take Holly and me down The Farm this afternoon.

He was photographing fungi and we were hunting foxes!

Just as he pressed the shutter release, I had a sniff, sorry it was a slow shutter speed and I was moving!

Can you see me?

OTL said I should go and play with the foxes, so off we went, woofing all the way through the trees!

When we came back we found OTL looking at a very small fungi about half an inch diameter, in fact it was so small I nearly trod on it!

A Tiddly Fungi!

OTL picked me up and put me on the plastic bag he uses for kneeling on and told me not to move!

I did and I was in trouble again!

Back on the lead, but I didn't mind 'cos we were close to the car and I didn't feel too much like running around!

We got a bit more of the steak tonight, just to finish it off and OTL has got pizza!

Ho Ho Ho! Poor old OTL, maybe if he is nice to us we will let him ave a bit of steak, but I'll make him sit down and shake paws first!!!

Bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Lu,

Daisy & Holly

Hunting Bunnies on the Hills

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly back again!

We were out smarted by Old Two Legs last night, you see, we normally like to go to bed with our chews. We get in our beds and tuck the chew under our chin or tucked into our tummy so it is safe all night.

Then, about midnight, one of us will get up for a stretch or a wander around the house, just to check that all is safe and sound.

When we get back we find that our chew has gone! Then the fight starts, it normally starts with Holly or me woofing and growling, then The Missus starts to growl and then OTL does his 'Get back to bed' type of woof and we all settle down for a couple of hours, then it starts all over again!

Last night OTL pinched both of our chews and put them on top of the chest of drawers where we could see them but not get to them! Drat! Double Drat and Bother!


We made up for it this morning and jumped up and gave them both the old 'Wet Nose in the Ear' trick, that got them awake!

OTL took us out for our midday run and we went back to the Sand Hills, this time we were playing pirates and castles again but this time we were the pirates! We reckoned it would be dead easy capturing the castle 'cos OTL couldn't climb up the Hill to defend the castle!

OTL says he has 'Friends' and told us of the 'Monster Bunny' who put the Sand Hills there in the first place and how he would eat us for lunch!

Monster Bunny?

Holly and me had a chat, first of all we blew raspberries at the Bunny and when that didn't work we threatened to get our mate Mad Max to come and sort him out 'cos Max don't take prisoners and is known for losing his patience if he don't get his own way, especially where rabbits are concerned!

No Bunnies Here!

 After a bit the bunny dropped down the other side of the hill and disappeared down his hole! Just to make sure, I sent Holly up to check!

No Bunnies Here!

We had a sniff along the beach but there was no sign of the rabbit, so we reckon he has left the beach to us!

Bunny Gone!

We went along the Sea Wall and saw the most ginormous Container Ship leaving the docks, Holly said it was full of tins of chicken and was going to be delivered to Felixstowe Docks!

Chicken of the move!

Later we met up with a young lad, he told us he was 'Going to get Done on Friday' and that he didn't know what it was but he was looking forward to an adventure.

I told him to be careful 'cos he may end up with a sore bit and be very unhappy for a week or so!

If the vet says cough, DON'T! Just sit down and smile!

He said we didn't know what we were talking about and I told him of my time with a sore tummy. That made him think but we still think he didn't believe us.

But he will, oh yes, he will!

Be warned Max, if ever they start talking about getting you 'done', leave the cushion alone for a while and just sit there and smile at them.

It'll confuse the hell out of them!

OK, we're off to bed now, OTL has taken our chews away and put them on the desk in the office, so that has blown our fun for the night, just wait until the morning, a cold wet nose is heading his way!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Sunshine Today!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

This morning we decided that is was going to be another foggy and dismal day, so we got up, had a stretch, then jumped up on Old Two Legs bed and snuggled down with him for an 'After wake up snooze'. We like those snoozes, all sort of warm and cuddly!

Finally we were forced off the bed with The Missus wanting to straighten up all the bedding, which we don't mind 'cos it makes it good and comfortable to snooze on!

We were just about to get back on for our 'second snooze' when she calls out 'Walkies!'

That's it, we were off down the stairs like Puppy Rockets!

When we got outside, bless our tails, it was sun shine and balmy breezes, that was it, off we went at a gallop for The Fields. We had a great time woofing and chasing each other all along the paths and on the way back we came across 'Hissin Chrissy', that nasty cat with a 'Bad Attitude', it was terrorising a pigeon who was sitting on the fence post too scared to move.

We dived through the fence and went as far as our lead would let us, Chrissy let out a surprised yell and went from cuddling the ground, like they do when stalking something, to standing on the tips of her claws with her back arched high in the air and tail straight out the back. He mouth was open and she was showing her teeth as well!

Not that we were worried, our charge scared the cats poo out of her and she leapt up the brick wall in one bound and was away like the wind, muttering something about catching us when we're asleep! Ha! That pussy cat is so slow she couldn't even catch a cold!

After lunch we went down The Farm and had a terrific time chasing foxes through the woods.

I smell Foxes!

Well, I did, Holly decided that it would be better if she stayed close to OTL as the fog was closing in again and especially as a man came past saying he had lost his 'Staffy' and we are a little wary of that type of doggy!

Holly was keeping a close watch out for the Staffy!

OTL did find a couple of fungi in the woods and had a quick snap before the light faded, pity he didn't have his tripod with him, still they don't look too bad really!

Popping Up Mushrooms!

These two looked like they popped up today judging by the earth still on their tops!

We spent the rest of the afternoon snoozing and playing games with the chews. Holly can throw a chew over her shoulder and almost catch it as it lands but it keeps banging on the coffee table and when it does she gets told off!

We're off to mug OTL for some of his dinner now and afterwards, his shortbread!

So, bye bye for now and we'll see you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Autumn is here!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again.

Wot a dismal old day it has been today, chilly this morning and foggy all day!

Just for a change we went over the fields with The Missus first thing this morning, met a couple of woofers and said 'good morning'. One was an enormous old greyhound that was so big we reckon TM could have ridden it like a horse!

A bit later we got restless and started to chase each other around the house, just for a laugh.

TM chased us back up stairs into Old Two Legs office and told us both that our tails were in mortal danger!

We didn't believe her, but we did settle down for about two minutes!

We jumped up at OTL, who was doing some building thingy with bits of wire, we reminded him that it was just about time for a wander along the Sea Wall.

Well, OTL doesn't need telling twice and in a few moments we were in the car and heading towards the sea!

Straight out of the car and around the corner to the rabbits play area then down to the bushes where the Magpie sometimes sits. A quick woof at the sea gulls and we started our walk!

A Rabbit was here!

The water was right in and we enjoyed a run on the beach, sniffin' at all the smells brought in by the tide, some times there can be some 'terrible sniffs' so bad it makes you wonder what caused them in the first place!

We had some fun playing 'chariots' along the Sea Wall, Holly got a branch and waved it at me saying 'Catch me if you Can!' and started running, that was it, I was after her like a shot!

'Catch me if you Can!'

Pretty soon we were running and chasing each other, grabbing the branch and having a 'Tug of War' with it!

It's Mine!

Needless to say, after a while, it broke into so many bits there was not enough for both of us to grab hold of at the same time!

Back at home OTL was back to being busy busy busy, with the coax and an hour or so later he had finished and was packing it all up into bags.


That was a good sign 'cos we know that after the carriers we always get a walk and this was going to be different today!

Because OTL was late in going to the carriers it was getting dark, a good sign the Autumn is here, and we decided that a trip to the New Park would be the best.

It was strange having a walk in the park when it's all dark and foggy. When we came across a dog and it's owner walking towards us they looked all strange in the fog, so much so that both Holly and me stopped and would not go any further until they got closer and we could see what it was!

We even stayed close to OTL as we went along the path 'cos we didn't want to loose him in the fog!

When we got home there was a super chicken dinner and of course, there was OTL and his shortbread!

So, another day over and we're off to bed now, after a cuddle with OTL!

Bye bye and see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

F1 Fun & OTL's Fungi

Hi Woofers!

D&H back with you again!

We had a bit of a scare last night, someone in the village was letting of the Pop Bangs early in the evening. That was not good for me but even worse for Holly, she had to spend some time cuddled up to Old Two Legs, which she doesn't mind, but it was difficult for him to move in his chair 'cos she was cuddled up really close!

As the evening went on she stopped shivering and settled down to mullering a new chew, she said it was 'comfort chewing'! !

Both Holly and me have picked up a tummy bug, so we were busy waking OTL and The Missus all through the night, just when we urgently wanted to go out, I think it was six times, a record for us!

When we finally woke up this morning, OTL took us down to the Sea Wall, he was looking for that 'Stink Horn' look alike and we were looking for the rabbits again!

We charged up and down the Sand Hills and Holly even started to dig a big hole, just like we do when we're on holiday!

Up the Hill!

Then Holly and me played a game of 'Castles' and this time we were fighting off pirates who were trying to capture the castle!

Standing Guard against Pirates!

While we were fighting the pirates, OTL was on his knees photographing fungi, first he found the one he saw yesterday and didn't know what it was, well, we can now say that it belongs to the 'Ink Cap' family, but he still doesn't know its name!

Ink Cap type of Fungi

You can see the earth grains that we had on this yesterday, have a look at yesterdays photo. They were still there today!

Dirty Ink Cap!

 We got a bit fed up with OTL photographing fungi and told him we want more pictures of us, 'cos this is our blog and we are 'In Charge!'

So first of all, we were thinking of a more up to date photo for the blog, so how about this?

Daisy, Holly and OTL

Then, without asking I see that OTL has sneaked another mushroom into the blog! I think I will have a word with him!

Only an inch diameter but it looked pretty!

The F1 racing was great, Hamilton first and Jenson came in third. We sat there and were pretending to drive the cars, brrmm Brmmmm!

Holly did say that we would have to get the peddles adjusted for us but I reckon we could give Lewis a run for his money!

So, another fun Sunday and just for a change, the sun has been shining, even if the wind was picking up later in the afternoon.

It won't be long before the cold weather is with us and OTL will be taking photos of us in the snow!

Better still, we will be able to say 'Hello' again to the Snow Fairy!

Now that would be good for Christmas!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

F1, Sand Hills of North Kent and Chicken Breakfast!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here on misty Saturday.

We have been good puppies today, early this morning we woofed off a cat that was meowing out side the window, somewhere around three thirty it was. The Missus joined in the woofing as well and then told us to woof off back to bed!

When it got light we were expecting to get a walk with TM, well, she was all dressed up in her coat and had those flowery wellies on, the ones she uses to go paddling in the sea with, when we go on holiday in the summer!

We stood near the door but she sneaked out and left us with our legs crossed!

That was it, we went up to see Old Two Legs to complain!

OTL said that TM was going out  'Litter Picking' around the village with some other volunteers and he would take us out.

As we drove past the church, we saw a load of people in 'High Viz' jacket things and OTL slowed down and took some photos, it was just as we got level that we saw OTL and Auntie Sheila there all togged up for litter picking!

TM & Auntie Shelia off to Pick Litter!

TM says it's amazing just how much rubbish these Two Legs leave in the verges!

Holly me and OTL headed off to the Sea Wall, and when we got there, it was a case of 'Head for the Hills!

Well, the sand hills actually!

Holly and I ran up the hills and raced down them, again and again! It was just like being on holiday again!

Sand Hills of North Kent!

Holly ran down one and said that she was going so fast that when she went past OTL all he heard was Whoosh!

Just like 'Super Puppy'!

A Speeding Super Puppy!

OTL was rummaging around in the bushes and long grass and found a fungi he said reminded him of the Stink Horn, but it wasn't a stink horn and he didn't know what it was. You know, he is not very good at recognising and naming fungi, so we had better not send him shopping for mushrooms, you never know what he will come back with!

Not a Stink Horn.

We saw some fishermen digging again, you would have thought that they'd get fed up with all that digging and leave the worms alone.

Hello Worms!

I mean, if a worm was supposed to swim, they'd grow flippers like the ducks!

OTL found this concrete thingy and was taking pictures of the plant thing growing on it, he said it was called Lichen and it took a long time to grow and was very old 'cos it was big and round.

Lichen

Holly had a sniff and then a lick and declared that it didn't taste nice and it didn't smell nice and she didn't Lichen it much!

We all laughed at that and kept joking about that all day!

We watched the F1 Qualifying and Hamilton was second and Button third. We shall be looking forward to watching the race tomorrow, Brmm Brmm!

Then we went for our second run down the Sea Wall and this time we chased along the beach, running on the old cockle shells and that really wears out your legs!

All this running around we have been doing today means we are tired little puppies but not too tired that we can't eat our dinner and mug OTL for some shortbread!

So off we go and are keeping fingers crossed for  better weather tomorrow 'cos we might go out bird watching with OTL!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Friday's Here!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again.

It's been a dismal old day today, mist and damp first thing and it stayed like that all day!

We went out with Old Two Legs down to the Sea Wall for our early morning run. We chased the rabbits and woofed at a couple of Magpie's sitting on top of the tree. The tide was right out and there were some fishermen digging in the mud looking for some worms to train how to swim!

Holly woofed at them but they didn't take any notice!

Back home we had some liver and biscuits for breakfast and retired to OTL's office for our morning snooze.

We heard the front door being opened and rushed down to find Auntie Sheila visiting to join The Missus in her Friday Card Making Session!

Slapping the glue pot and throwing glitter all over the place, and they accuse us of being untidy!

A little later we went out with OTL to drop some stuff off at the carriers and then off to The Farm. I rushed into the forest chasing some rabbits, OTL stood for about ten minutes calling and whistling for me to follow him, no way!

I was having so much fun!

In the end I relented and ran back to him and Holly. Holly told me off when I got back to her and OTL!

On the way back we stopped at RSPB Northwood Hill to see how the 'Puff Ball' fungi were doing, but they still aren't big enough to photograph, so we will have to have another look over the weekend.

An afternoon of snoozing has made us a relaxed pair of puppies and what with OTL forgetting to charge the camera battery, there are no photos either!

So, we will draw up a plan for the weekend and that will involve getting OTL to take us for a walk on the sand again!

So, with nothing more to add we will go and mug OTL for some shortbread and have an early night!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

We've been out Hunting Rabbits and Fungi Today!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

We have been out with Old Two Legs today. The Missus went off to sit with Tom 'cos he's not feeling too well, an Autumn cold or maybe he's been eating some dodgy sweets or something.

First thing we were out with OTL running along the Sea Wall again, not very windy at all, in fact, there was no wind at all, just mist! The rabbits were still in bed and the birds were hiding in the bushes and they wouldn't come out to play either!

Flying After The Rabbits!

TM left a message on the telephone to say she had seen a big fungi type of toad stool by the side of the road and OTL had better get down there double quick time and take a picture before it disappeared!

Well, OTL is not one to ignore the commands of TM, so off we went and found the fungi she was talking about. We had to stay in the car 'cos there was too much traffic whizzing past, but OTL got this picture.

A Swimming Pool for Fairy's

It certainly was a big one, big enough for a Fairy Jacuzzi!

OTL then got the 'Bug' and off we went to RSPB Northwood Hill to search for 'Puff Balls', these are a sort of fungi that puffs our its spores when the rain drops hit it. OTL was going to take a picture when a drop of water hit the puff ball, even if the water came from an eye dropper he had!

Wot a cheat!

We looked all over the place but didn't find one that had grown up enough to have a 'puff' and the others were too old, all the 'puff' had gone!

We did get some pictures of other fungi, but nothing super colourful like OTL is looking for. You know, big yellow or blue or purple or even red with white spots!

The only ones he can find are sort of pasty looking!

Little Fungi

Then there were these.

Little Fungi but Pretty!

We also saw this one that was covered in water droplets, not the colour OTL wanted but it was unusual being covered in water. So, OTL, being OTL, just had to have a fiddle with it. I thought they say that 'A Photo never Lies', ha! Just have a look and see if you can work out where OTL has been 'Fiddling'

Sparkles on a Fungi.

 Yep, it is so obvious isn't, the grass is never that shade of green!

Last of all, there was this bunch of fungi hiding under a grove of trees trying to look like the leaves on the ground!

A fine Bunch of Fungi

OTL said they were a 'Fine Bunch of Fungi', can you have a 'Bunch' of fungi?

This evening OTL and TM are off to see an AmDram play, so Holly and Daisy have the run of the house!

We plan to have a game of 'Chase the Tail' then 'Lets Snooze on OTL's Pillow' followed by 'Hunt the Shortbread'!

Then we might have our own Amateur Dramatic Play 'The Puppies of The Baskervilles! Scary or wot!

Auntie Sheila has promised to come in to open the kitchen door, just in case we want a wee. It will be fun when she comes in, loads of licks and woofs just for her!

Then it's a case of standing 'On Guard' until OTL & TM get back, not too late we hope!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Here, it's mid week again!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again.

It was only yesterday that it was Wednesday, and here it's back again!

We were suposed to go over over to They Boys place today but it got changed at the last moment and The Missus got to spend all day making cards, what a shame!

We were in Old Two Legs office this morning when we heard a tapping on the window, there, sitting on the window sill was one of those daft Collared Doves, tapping on the glass. We weren't sure if it was trying to peck its reflection or trying to attract our attention!

Knock Knock!

We went out with OTL for a mid morning run down along the Sea Wall, well, he was planning on going out by himself around midday to collect some stuff in South London.

You know what, he was planning to go all on his own!

We had a race around the brambles to chase the rabbits and then along the Sea Wall to see the sea! The tide was right in and the waves were making funny shapes along the concrete steps.OTL reckons that come the winter storms we should see some great waves crashing over the wall. If that is so, he can jolly well go walkies on his own!

A Wave climbing up the wall!

We saw an rather sad looking balloon on the sea wall, it was sort of sad, like something that was left over from a super birthday party!

After the Party's Over

When we got back at lunch time there was a load of crashing noise coming from the bird box, so OTL switched on the camera and saw that the Blue Tit had almost finished clearing the poo out and was trying to peck at the wooden walls,just to make it more comfortable!

Home improvements!

Well, come going out time, do you think we would let OTL go off to London without us? No way, we insisted we went with him!

On our way out we had to pass the New Park, so, both Holly and me made our 'We want a Wee' signals and OTL had to stop for a half hour to let us have a run!

Crafty or what!

Well that was it really, go out, pick up stuff, go home, eat dinner (Chicken and biscuits), mug OTL, have a pre bedtime snooze!

Come on, that's a lot to cram into a few hours!

So now it's off to bed after the 'Late evening Wee'!

Bye bye for now and see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
