Snoozy Day Today!

Hi Woofers!

D&H here again.

It has been one of those lazy days today, I don't suppose the fact that we were up several times during the night for a game of 'chase' and 'hunt the chew' helped at all!

Then of course, there is our hourly 'Guard Patrol', that's when we march around the house, in line, checking everything is safe from burglars and sneaky squirrels!

Holly didn't want to get out of bed this morning and Old Two Legs had to carry her bed, with her inside it, to the office where we normally relax during the day!

She was just awake when OTL said the magic word 'Walkies'!  She staggered down the stairs yawning and bumped into the wall at the bottom of the stairs!

We went to the Sea Wall and as the tide was in, I went for a sniff around the Dragons Teeth.

The Dragons Teeth were still wet with water on the sea weed and as I went over the edge I slipped, it seemed like my legs went in different directions and I landed on my bottom! Not very dignified for a little girl like me!

Ooops!

I wasn't hurt and it did make OTL and Holly laugh, so I grumbled at them, but they didn't take any notice and carried on laughing!

We saw that someone had put some more flowers on the railings, don't know why they do it but it looks pretty in the early morning light!

Flowers on the railings.

A bit further on we met up with the Westie we saw yesterday, this time he was on his own and came bounding up to us and said 'Wanna Game of Chase?'

Wanna game of Chase?

 Well, I reckon I could out run him with no trouble especially on the turns, so, off we went!

A Flying Scotsman!

We ran all along the sea wall, but his owners were walking the other way and he was soon called away from us.

We ever did find out who was quickest, still, we thought we may meet him again at lunch time.

Holly and me walked off after OTL, who was still looking for fairies!

Lunch time came and after a quick mug of a bit of buttered toast we were bullying OTL for a run along the Sea Wall again!

No Rabbits, no Fairies, no other Doggies! What has happened?

We saw an old rook sitting on the breakwater and he just ignored us when we asked if he had seen anyone!

A Rook ignoring us!

I reckon he is a bit like Holly, only takes notice if he can eat it!

Then, all of a sudden there was a face we recognised, it was one of the lads from yesterday!

I had a good look first by doing my meerkat impersonation!

Here! Wanna Buy Some Car Insurance?

I spotted Maisy, who was in the long grass looking at OTL and asking about the Fairies!

Seen any Fairies Mr?

As OTL hadn't seen any Fairies she lost interest and ran after her mates!

Back home for another snooze and then look forward to some dinner, first some of OTL's dinner, then some of The Missus's dinner, then we eat ours!

We've got this food thing sorted you know!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

I can see the Sun Shine!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

What a change in the weather, the fog has gone, almost, and the sun has come out again!

We went out with The Missus this morning and had a good chase across The Fields, woofing at a Bichon Frise as we passed and running away when he woofed back!

I spent most of the morning up with Old Two Legs and Holly stayed with TM 'cos she had food and Holly is not one to miss out on the chance of a nibble of someone else's food, even mine if I'm not careful!

Every so often I would wake up and climb onto OTL's lap for a cuddle or even climb up to the back of his chair and sit on his shoulders and lick his ear!

After lunch it was a run down to the Sea Wall to chase the rabbits while OTL looks for toadstools and fairies!

Well, OTL didn't find any fairies and we missed out on the rabbits but we did meet up with a few doggies we have met before.

First of there was the Westie that was a little unsure and we ended up chasing him, for a change!

Yahooo!

Then along came his mates and they ended up chasing us!

They're after me!

That was all OK and we took it in good heart. All of a sudden, there was the young lad who told us he was going to get 'Done'


We said 'Hello' and Holly asked 'How's it Hanging?'

'It ain't', was all we got, then he turned around and said to the Westie, 'They took away my favourite toys!'

They've taken me toys way!

That's the trouble with the young, they won't listen to good advice!

OTL did suggest that he should look hard amongst the toadstools for a Fairy and if he was a good dog, he might get three wishes, well we know what two wishes would be but he couldn't think of a third!

So, we left them to it and headed for home!

When we got back home it was a case of 'wipe your feet, turn around and off we go again.' Leaving OTL at home we were off to The Boys and to say Happy Birthday to Boss Man.

It was great fun charging around the house and having a dig in the garden. Holly showed me where she had buried an old toy, it smelt super, all muddy and damp, just like a toy should be. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to bring it into the house 'cos TM said it 'smelt rotten', that's her problem, no taste!

We then had a game of football with the boys and I was getting good at dribbling the ball with my front legs but it was the goal kick I couldn't get right. Holly had to spoil it, she sat on the ball and grumbled at anyone who came close!

TM has just called us for dinner, so off we go!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

It's Another Foggy, Foggy, Foggy, Foggy, Foggy Day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

What is the matter with the weather? I know it's Autumn and getting close to Winter and Christmas is five weeks away, but come on, you can have enough of fog!

We went out with The Missus this morning for our 'early walk' and for a change she took us down the Sea Wall. Holly and I were out of the car like rockets when we got there, just to chase a rabbit you understand, and we couldn't even see the brambles let alone see a rabbit!

I went off to have a sniff around, as you do, but Holly kept close to TM in case she got lost, Holly that is, not TM!

It was a good run and we spotted a Green Woodpecker on the ground having a peck at the ants nest. There was the fog horn moaning away in the fog and Holly still believes it's the ghost of the pirate ship that got wrecked hundreds of years ago, well, that's what I told her, she'll believe anything. There are times when she's a right Dimbo!

After breakfast of chicken and a good brush down by Old Two Legs, we settled down for our 'after breakfast snooze', waking only to woof at the postman!

Lunch time came and we mugged OTL for a bit of his lunch then bullied him into taking us down The Farm. We had so much fun last time that we wanted a longer walk this time.

So, off we went and as OTL was looking for fungi, we were of looking for squirrels and foxes!

Coo-eee! Foxy Foxy!

We didn't see any foxes but I did get to chase a squirrel up a tree!

It's no fun when they get away!

Trouble was, it just flew up the tree and not even Holly could climb up after it! Sneaky squirrel!

It seemed that the fog was getting thicker and Holly was getting worried about finding her way back to the car!

 Which ways home?

While we were wondering which way to go, OTL suddenly dived off the path and into the trees. I thought, 'That's My Trick'! so, Holly and I dived in after him to see what was happening!

As normal, he had found some toadstools to take a picture of, so we left him to it and had a sniff for a rabbit or a fox.

When we got back, OTL was nattering to himself, sort of, well he seemed to be talking to someone rather than to himself. We thought he had finally gone potty and Holly said we should lead him back to the car and get him home A.S.A.P. or even better, as soon as possible!

It wasn't until he got home that we took a close look at the toadstool he was photographing.

OTLs  new friend!

Now we have a problem, do we tell TM that OTL is talking to the Fairies?

Will they lock him up?

Will we be allowed out with him again!

Will he be 'away with the Fairies' on a permanent basis?

Watch this blog!

Now we're off for some dinner!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Serious Fog!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you on a very foggy day!

When we went out this morning first thing, it was straight around to the football field. Holly decided to play a game on The Missus. She started off by sitting down in the middle of the field, watching me have a chase of the ball. When TM finally got fed up and was heading for home, Holly still sat in the middle of the field. TM called her to come and have her lead put on, Holly still sat in the middle of the field. So, TM marched over to Holly, mumbling under her breath, showing Holly the lead and indicating that we were going home.

Holly got up off her bottom, and walked away!

TM walked a little quicker after Holly, Holly walked a little quicker in the opposite direction to TM!

TM and Holly ended up getting some running exercise!

Holly thought it was great fun and said she will try it again tomorrow morning!

TM said if she does it again she can stay in the field all day and get a cold in her bottom by sitting on the wet grass!

Back for a brush and some lambs heart for breakfast, absolutely fabulous!

It was still foggy when we went out at lunch time so Old Two Legs took us down The Farm for a change. Great fun looking for foxes and squirrels and rabbits while OTL was looking for fungi and spiders webs with mist drops!

Was that a Fox?

 Normally I disappear into the forest  to hunt for stuff but this time OTL did the 'disappearing' trick and Holly and I were rushing around trying to find him!

He finally came out of a bush he had stuck his head into and asked us what we thought of his picture?

Holly said it wouldn't taste like chicken 'cos she had tried one some time back and it was pretty bland and the bones didn't even crunch!

A Tidily Tasty Spider!

In the forest, Holly was trying to spot the Wood Mice that live there, she had worked out that if she got up high enough she could pounce on them like Kestrel or a Owl!

So she started to go Whoo Whoo just like a Tawny Owl. I said that she forgot the Too-Wit and she said that I was the Twit, and that was when the fight started!

Whoo Whoo!

 

Whoo's a Twit then?

I left her to play owls and went off to sort out a fox I had smelt earlier.

Then she found a big fungi and OTL asked her to sit behind it, just to show how big it was, at least twelve inches across, the toadstool that is, not Holly, she is a bit bigger across the tummy!

Not Mushroom left!

It seems that OTL's messing about with a pinhole camera has caused some interest! He only did it for a laugh 'cos it was foggy out and he couldn't find any fungi to photograph. He was doing some reading about pinhole cameras and found out the first photo taken using the accepted design was back in 1850 and that pinhole cameras are still used, on satellites to photograph the sun!

OK, boring bit over, we only put that in to keep OTL happy!

Now, where is my chew?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy (Twit) & Holly (Whoo, Whoo!)

Foggy Foggy Day!

Hello my Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you.

What a surprise this morning, first of all The Missus was up and stomping about at four thirty, woke everyone up and even Old Two Legs was grumbling!

When the sun got up it could not get through the fog and we had to have our walk in the fog. Holly didn't fancy wandering around the fields 'cos she might get lost, so, Holly did what Holly does best, she sat down and refused to go any further!

TM got fed up with trying to get Holly to move, so, agreed to go back, which was what Holly wanted and we pulled TM off to the Football Field where we had a run, did our business and had a game of 'chase' before getting back for breakfast and a brush.

OTL said that we should try some experiments with the camera! Now, we thought it would be crashing about with lights and tripods and flash lights, but no! He got out the tools and drills and bits of sticky silver paper!

Well, after loads of experimenting we finally managed to make a Digital Single Lens Reflex Pin Hole Camera!

Now, this is a bit of a step backwards but OTL reckons it would work!

So here are the results:-

Camera Body Nikon D3 fitted with a Body Cap with 5mm hole drilled in the centre. Then a bit of aluminium paper stick to the inside and a small hole in the aluminium made with a small sewing needle!

10 sec .5mm hole!

We used a desk light to illuminate the batteries and scissors.

25 sec .2mm hole!

This is one of me posing in a way only I know how!

The size of the hole is a guess but is close enough!

So with this success we set off for the Sea Wall together with a tripod, we were off to photograph the Fishermen hunting worms!

We didn't find any fishermen but OTL did stop a couple walking along and told them to stay still while he took the photo!

Watch the Birdy!

Well, that seemed to impress them so we decided that he should take one of us, trouble was, we just couldn't sit still, that was until we saw a dog walking towards us, so we stayed still for a while but in the wrong direction!

Don't move!

OTL thought it would be fun trying the camera just hand held but as he got down on his knees, we thought we heard a rabbit moving in the grass, well, I was off and Holly just watched!

Was that a Rabbit?

I reckon that if he spent long enough messing about with the pinhole he might get it to focus.

We were thankful that he didn't find any fungi!

Mind you when you think about it he may save some money, camera body £3,500.00, lens £1.50 from ebay!

Now, we are off to get some dinner and maybe mug OTL for some shortbread if he gets it out, or maybe he will get the Twiglet bag out!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Sunshine Saturday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Today The Missus went off early to her 'Crop Thingy Wotsit' where they all sit around gassing and chopping bits of paper up and make a big mess all over the place!

So, off we go with Old Two Legs, he knows how to have a good time!

First of all we went down to the Sea Wall where we charged all over the Sand Hills looking for Rabbits or Pirates. Unfortunately there were none around and even the fungi had gone back to bed!

That didn't matter, we still ran up and down the hills chasing each other!

Which way now?

That was good fun and we then went onto the beach for a run along the cockle shells that have piled up on the beach.

Here's a good sniff!

We were trotting along minding our own business when we spotted the Fishermen we saw yesterday, but this time they were walking across the mud looking for their worms, so OTL took another silhouette picture, not as good as yesterdays but not too bad!

Here, Wormy Wormy!

Next we met up with a couple of Spaniel type of woofers who wanted to play but were too scared, they kept running up to us then turning around and running away saying 'Please don't eat us'!

What a pair of cowards!

Promise you won't eat us?

Holly called them a pair of softies and said that we would only eat one leg at a time, providing it was cooked properly!

That scared them and they ran off, Holly and I almost laughed our tails off!

After lunch time we decided that OTL should go out again 'cos if he stayed in he would fall asleep and bang goes our afternoon run. So, we jumped up at his chair and woofed and grumbled and generally made his life impossible.

He got the message!

Off we went to the New Park!

As soon as we got in we met up with Arthur, a 'Tea Cup' Yorkshire Terrier, he was smaller than us! That made a change!

He jumped up at OTL's leg and made a fuss of him and he tickled Arthur behind his ears and they became friends at once!

Arthur and Us!

We all had a sniff of each other so we would remember each other next time we meet.

OTL walked us along the Horse Bridle Way and suddenly fell to knees and started to fiddle with some grass and leaves, we knew exactly what he found, another blooming Toadstool!

Small and Yellow!

He had to take the picture, holding the camera in his hand as he left his tripod at home. At least he is now finding coloured ones, we're waiting for the time he finds a purple one!

As we got to the end of our walk we stopped to say 'Hello' to the 'Not Not's', not that they said hello, just the normal whistle and foot stamp!

Hello Not Not!

When we got back home we had a snooze while OTL did some work in the office. There is nothing like an afternoon snooze, except an after get up snooze, or better an after breakfast snooze and there is the after lunch snoozette or the after dinner snooze, let's face it, snoozing is just super!

Tonight we expect to have an relaxing time, cuddled up to OTL and robbing him of some shortbread!

Life is indeed good!

See you tomorrow and we may get out with OTL and his camera!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

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
