More Rushing Around Today!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

The nearer we get to Christmas the busier it seems to get! Old Two Legs has been dashing around getting stuff made up and delivered. The Missus Has been on the 'Social Whirl' meeting up with Mike and Trevor, then it's over to the boys in the afternoon!

We, of course, have had our tails rushed off trying to keep up with them! I mean, get up out of bed, eat breakfast, go for a walk, chase rabbits, hunt foxes, shout at rats and on top of that we have to make sure the house is kept clear of burglars!

When we went on our walk with OTL, he forgot to swap his lens over from the Fish Eye lens he had on yesterday at Zoe's place.

So, no telescopic shots, just strange looking views of the sea!

Tides Out!

He says they are 'artistic' we just think he's potty!

The Earth Looks Round!

Every one knows the earth is flat but his picture make it look like it is round, just how daft can you get?

Holly was given a soft puppy toy by The Missus, she brought it back from The Boys house. Tom said that it was Holly's when she was a little puppy. When TM gave it to her she jumped about and we had a good game of chase with it. Then Holly settled down and gave it a cuddle and a lick, them she bit it's bottom!

Chicken tonight and then a game with OTL!

Tomorrow is also going to be a rush around as well if we believe OTL!

So, early to bed.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (With her cuddly puppy)

Busy Busy Busy!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here

It has been a busy old day. We have been out most of the day with Old Two Legs.

First of all there was our morning walk, we saw a man collecting seaweed to make into Christmas Decorations!

He's pinching all the seaweed!

Then when we went out for the lunch time walk OTL spotted that pesky Green Woodpecker on the path but sitting on top of the shelter nearby, there was his mate laughing at us!

I Fancy a Bike Ride!

and his mate said......

Your on Your Own Then!

After that we were out in the car delivering stuff.

Next was a small worry, we headed off the wrong way down the motorway, you know, away from home instead of towards home!

I was getting in a bit of a panic, was OTL lost or are we going on holiday without our swimming trunks?

Not to worry, we ended up a Auntie Zoe's new house for a little installation work well OTL was doing it while we played with Ethan and Finley! It was OK but sometimes they play a little rough and grab my tail!

We worked really hard and in the end we left OTL to finish up while Paul and us had a rest!

It's All Hard Work!

 OTL took this with his Fish Eye Lens that is why it looks 'Wobbly', just like him!

We ended up getting home rather late and had to rush our dinner so we had time to mug OTL for some of his venison burgers, or as he calls them, 'Bambi Burgers'!

So, here I am, half past eleven bashing away on the keyboard while everyone else is asleep, I must be potty!

See you tomorrow, I'm off to bed.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Asleep)

Fillet Steak and a Purloined Ball

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

It has been a busy day today, not for Holly and me but for Old Two Legs and The Missus.

First of all TM was out early to have her hair clipped. Now when Holly and I get our hair done we get an all over wash and shampoo, then we get clipped and after that we get a warm blow dry plus have our nails clipped.

When TM comes back from the parlour, she doesn't look like she has had a wash at all and her nail aren't clipped an' she don't smell any different from when she went out!

We reckon she doesn't get the 'Full Treatment' like we do when OTL takes us!

Down on the beach today the tide was right in, you know just at that point when it can't get up the beach any further and starts to go back.

So, just for a change, OTL took some pictures of the waves flopping onto the beach. They aren't too bad, for an amateur!

You know he was so long down on his knees that Holly got worried and went and gave him a cuddle, just in case he had hurt himself!

High Water Mark

Holly picked up a small stick and waved it at me, saying she would never let me play with it at all. Well, that was it, off I went chasing after her and I managed to grab it from her, then she got it back, then I got it back and all the time it was getting smaller!

We both decided that it was the others fault the stick got broken and we had an argument, she called me names and I called her a 'Lump' and that's when another fight started!

It's My Stick!

After the fight we saw a dog in the distance and decided to join forces, just in case, so the stick was forgotten, we had more important business coming down the path!

Who's That Then?

Could be Trouble!

Then we saw it was that Barney, a long legged hound who is almost one year old. All he wants to do is have a game. The problem with him is the fact he is so large and we are so small. So, I was a little scared to begin with. He chased me and then chased Holly and then chased me again, that was until a barked at him and had a little snap at him, which put him in his place!

After that it was good fun,, I chased him and he chased Holly, then I chased him and even woofed at him!

He had a tennis ball that was his toy but when OTL threw it for him, Holly and I beat him to it and ran around with it in our mouth!

Gerroff! it's our ball now!

In the end we wouldn't let him have it back!

It's in the car ready for the next time we see him!

The rest of the day was boring, boring , boring! OTL out, TM playing card making, Holly asleep (as normal)!

That was until OTL came back! We did our 'welcome home' greeting which included a good ear licking and soon after that we settled down to some serious mugging. You see, after TM experimenting yesterday, she decided to give OTL a treat today, something he could eat! So, out came the fillet steak and chips, OTL had the chips all to himself and we managed to get a couple of bits of steak from both OTL and TM!

Spoilt or wot!

Bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Sunshiny Monday!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again.

We hope that Max has got his Mo-Jo back and has not been dragged off to the vets!

We have been sort of lazy today. First thing this morning we woke The Missus and Old Two Legs up with the 'I wanna Wee' woof. Then afterwards, rushed up to bed and crashed out until eight thirty!

Come on, is that not the best way to start the day or wot?

OTL took us out to the Sea Wall and we saw loads of wader type birds on the mud flats having a feed and fly around.

Boo!

Holly did the 'Woof', at the birds and they flew off, so she tried it one more time and they took no notice at all, so Holly reckons that when they are eating, they go deaf, just like she does!

Woofin Holly!

There is a Green Woodpecker that lives around the Sea Wall and many times we see it fly off as we approach it. OTL doesn't see it until the last moment and by the time he gets his camera up to his eye, the bird is long gone.

Just to show you what we mean, here is one of his pictures! Hee Hee!

Woofin Green Woodpecker!!

He won't thank us for that one!

Our lunch time run along the Sea Wall was good, the tide was in and the fishermen were out teaching the worms to swim!

Holly and me had a sniff of their stuff but it smelt all fishy, so we left it alone!

Smells Fishy to Me!

No sign of the Rats, we reckon they only come out at night and then it's straight off to the Pub or the Chippy!

OTL thinks he has spotted a very rare bird!

We were just about to turn around and go back when this bird came flying straight towards us, flying backwards!

We didn't know what to make of it, OTL took some photographs and when he got home, consulted his Bird Book and declared it to be The Oozalamb Bird!

He says it is very rare and is known for flying backwards in a very big circle and as it gets older the circle slowly gets smaller. Then, one day the circle gets so small that it finally disappears!

Holly wanted to know where it disappears to and OTL marked the spot on the picture!

The Oozalamb Bird

OTL was dead serious when he told us about the bird and Holly was listening wide eyed and with her mouth open as well. She said it was dangerous going around in circles and in future she wouldn't do it any more!

That girl will believe anything!

When I couldn't hold back the laughter any longer she got all upset with me, then I called her a Plonker and she called me a Big Head!

And that's when the fight started!

This evening should be interesting, TM has been experimenting and has made a Lentil and Sweet Potato thing with no meat at all.Now don't get us wrong, we eat grass and carrots but the sight of OTL eating something that has never moo'd or grunted is not for the faint hearted, I even think he may order a Kofti Kebab to follow!

Bye for now, we're off to watch the fun!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Sunday's are for enjoying!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again!

We have been out for early Sunday morning walk with The Missus across the football field but we don't count that as a 'real walk' more a stroll! So, back we went and went up to have a chat with Old Two Legs who had just come out of the shower! It took him about five seconds to work out what we wanted and off we went in the car to the Sea Wall!

Chase the rabbits, have a sniff at the 'Rat Hole' before OTL chased us away! That's how to start a walk!

Sniffin at Rat Holes!

There were loads of people standing on the wall looking out to sea doing some bird watching. Well, I thought it might be fun following them and seeing what they got up too!

Me!!

Trouble was, OTL called me back, spoil sport, still I had seen some fishermen a bit further on and they may have some food!

Got any food Mr?

Well it was a waste of time 'cos they had eaten their sandwiches, so Holly was out of lunch as well!

We did see a Little Plover on the beach scratching around for some food among the seaweed.

Ringed Plover

Holly caught sight of a rook landing on the Sea Wall and chased it off but it kept coming back, and Holly chased it down the steps and onto the slippery bit near the water. Well, she slipped and skidded down the slope and only managed to stop just before the water!

Holly heading for the slippy bit!

The rook was laughing its head off and Holly said that if she came across that bird on dry land she would have him stuffed and roasted!

OTL saw some little birds fluttering about and said they were called Long Tailed Tits, and they always stay in a family group, just like us!

Long Tailed Tit

Not the best shot but it was hand held and he had to take it quickly!

Our afternoon was spent snoozing in OTL's office, such a good place to snooze! We are not disturbed by the noisy TV and it is warm as well!

Dinner was Lambs Hearts and biscuits! A super way to finish the day off, besides mugging OTL for some shortbread!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Pin Holes & Chicken!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again on a cold and frosty day!

We were up good and early this morning, not through choice I hasten to add! The Missus got up early and was turning lights on and off, filling kettles and waving the electric carpet sweeper around! So, we took the opportunity to get out for an early wee!

Sticking our noses out the back door there was this cold smell, and the grass was all white! I mean, we thought it was The Snow Fairy again! Closer inspection told us it was just frost, but the first real one this year!

You know what, it was still there when Old Two Legs took us out this morning to the Sea Wall!

Mr Frosty is Here!

When we got there the tide was coming in and the 'Bucket & Fork' men were being chased back to the beach by the incoming tide!

Bucket & Fork Squad

There was one who got back just as the water was washing the shore, talk about cutting it fine!

Bucket & Fork Man!

OTL has been paying about with a new camera bit and photographed the pin hole in his 'Pin Hole Camera Lens' Really it was a bit of sticky aluminium tape stuck on a dust cover and a pin hole stabbed into the front.

Well, if you look at it closely you can see where the pin has in fact torn the aluminium rather than cut it!

A Pin made Hole in a Pin Hole Camera!

I bet next he tries to photograph a needle and then put a camel half way through it, Just like his Dad did a hundred years ago!

We had a super chicken lunch and as we were enjoying filling our tummy’s OTL sneaked a picture, It was really a case of 'Tails Up, Snout In'!

Tails Up, Snout In!

OTL was supposed to be out photographing the moon this afternoon but he got so involved with transferring files to her new laptop that I think the moon rose, had dinner and went back to sleep!

Poor old OTL, now he will have to wait three years before it come again!

Well we're not hanging around waiting for that, we are off to bed, after the shortbread of course!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A quiet day with The Missus

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

Old Two Legs has been out most of today helping Zoe move into her new home, dead smart it is, so he says!

So we have been here watching The Missus making Christmas Cards and watching her TV programs she has recorded. Then on top of all that, she ironed tow or three shirts for OTL, just to stop him moaning when he can't find a shirt!

We went down to the Sea Wall at lunch time and chased the rabbits all over the place. We even woofed down the Rat Hole while TM wasn't looking!

Then it was back home to sit at the window waiting for OTL. It was a long wait, by the time he got home it was dark and cold again, still as long as he comes back, then that's OK by us!

He tried to sneak in the front door without us hearing him, fat chance! He got a super big 'Welcome Home' lick from both Holly and me and we even let him start off eating his dinner without mugging him. It didn't last long and we insisted he let us have a taste of the burger TM had cooked!

The evening was spent having a cuddle and mugging him for a couple of nibbles of shortbread!

So, not a lot today but OTL says that he is going to try to photograph the Luna Eclipse tomorrow providing the clouds are out of the way!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Winter? What Winter?

Hello Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly here again!

What an evening we had, first of all The Missus was out for the evening giving a Master Class in rolling around with ink, she calls it Brayering.

We thought that was the noise that a Donkey made if you trod on its hoof!

While she was out, Old Two Legs had the TV to himself, so he watched a program all about Saxon Gold while Holly and I had a snooze.

I got a fit of the sneezes and Holly got all worried and thought I was being attacked or something, so to help get rid of the sneezes, she woofed and growled and attacked me! OTL sorted her out but she got all worried and didn't know what was happening!

All this goings on meant that we didn't get to bed until late, almost midnight, so guess what, yep, over sleep this morning! You know it was nearly ten before we stumbled out of the front door!

The Sea Wall was pretty clear of dogs and people, so we had the place to ourselves. Holly wanted to know what the bird was on the wooden post and why it didn't have a head!

I said it was the 'Headless Cormorant' who haunted the Sea Wall and likes to eat puppies!

The Headless Cormorant!

Holly said I was talking through my tail, as normal, and I called her a 'Bimbo', and that's when the fight started!

We only stopped when a Little Egret flew overhead and heard OTL rattling off a few photos, the camera sounds a machine gun when he gets too excited!

That Egret Again!

OTL pointed out a container ship coming into the Sheerness Docks and he said that the small boat behind it was the Pilot Boat and The Pilot was the man who showed the ship how to get into the docks without bumping into anything!

Holly said it looked like a sea going sheep dog!

Sea Sheep Dog Pilot Thingy Wossit Chasing The Ship!

Talking of dogs, we were walking back towards the car when we saw a dog in the distance. Holly and I took up our 'Big Bold Doggy' stance and gave him he 'Hairy Eyeball'!

Holly said that it was a little dog so we could sort him out with no trouble but, as it got closer it got bigger and it got Bigger and then it got VERY BIG!

That was it, I was off and around the back of OTL while Holly stood there and just said 'Hello'!

Well, he don't look that big!

We went for our 'Late Afternoon Walk' over the New Park 'cos OTL had to take some stuff down to the carriers. By the time we got there it was dark, like black! So we had a chance to try our new flashing LED collars!

Did we look cool or wot! OTL has promised to have a go at taking some photos of us at night with them flashing!

After we got back home, there was Lambs Heart for dinner, my poor old tummy was just full to the brim!

It was as much as I could do to stay awake to mug OTL, but in the end I just had to give in and have an 'After Dinner Snooze'

Snoozing as done by an Expert!

So it's bye bye for now and we are with TM all day tomorrow as OTL is off out doing something or other where doggies aren't allowed!

See you soon.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Flying Worms!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

We've been out this morning to the Sea Wall again and woofed at the Rat Hole as we passed! The tide was in so we had a run along the shingle and woofed at the gulls, again!

There was just one fisherman on the Sea Wall and Old Two Legs took a picture of him throwing the worms into the water to teach them to swim. Trouble was, the worm fell off the fishing line and landed in the water just in front of him! Well, at least the worm didn't have far to swim to get back to shore!

Throwing the Worm back!

Holly decided that the fisherman should go for a swim him self, so Holly woofed him as she walked past, the fisherman didn't take any notice at all, anti-social as Max would say!

Leave the woofing worms alone!

Come lunch time, we told OTL that we wanted to go down there again, just to make sure the fisherman had not left any sandwiches on the beach but when we got there he had gone. The worm hunters were out with their bucket and fork, Holly reckons they may have pinched the sandwiches!

We had to go out with OTL to deliver some paperwork, so tagging along, as we do, we noticed we were very close to the Riverside Park, well, what a treat!

It was a little windy, but the sun stayed out and we had a good run around Horrid Hill, Holly saw off a young Spaniel doggy that was all full of fun.

Watch it sonny boy!

I took the mickey out of a couple of hairless doggies and Holly just couldn't believe her eyes!

I mean, what sort of person designs dogs to have no hair! It must be freezing during the cold weather!

I don't believe it!

It was going to be one of those days 'cos further along we saw some people having a picnic, in the cold and there was someone taking photos!

A Fashion Shoot?

OTL says it looked like some students doing a project. He knows this 'cos he had to do them when he went to college for the photography course.

We didn't ask him what he was taking photos of though!

The Missus is out tonight doing a 'Master Class' in rolling around in paint or ink, dunno why they call it a Master Class though, we can roll around in fox poo but all OTL calls us is Smelly Nellie's!

Bye for now and see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Rats R Them!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly on the march again!

We've been down to the Sea Wall twice today and on both occasions we investigated the hole near the beach and we reckon there is a nest of rats hiding there!

Rats, it's Rats, I'm sure it's Rats!

So, we woofed and we woofed and we said we'd dig them up if they didn't come out!  OTL came up behind us and said that we had to leave them alone or he'd put us down the hole with them, spoil sport!

We saw some gulls sitting on the wooden posts and OTL said it was a good job the tide was going out or they'd have been washed off. Just imagine what it will be like when the winter storms come good and proper, the waves will be over the posts and there will be nowhere for them to sit at all!

At the moment they are just playing King of the Castle!

Who is King of the Castle?

This afternoon we went down to the New Park again and it was just getting dark when we got there. OTL took us for a brisk run around a route that included both a gravel path and the grass track as well.

We were amazed to see all these red blinking lights all over the place and OTL said that it was a super idea and we had some collars coming in the post that will flash as well!

Hey! Wot? Puppies with Landing Lights!

Now this will be fun!

Will OTL have to wear one as well so we don't lose him in the dark?

He also said that if he can get The Missus to come out one night, he will take a picture of us and all you will see are the lights flying through the air. Now that will be something to see!

I was up with OTL in the office and Holly was having a snoozette on the sofa, so just to help move things along a bit, I climbed up to my 'Helpful Spot' and told OTL what to do, dead easy really, 'Turn it off, Now, Walkies!'

Helping OTL!

 What's wrong with that?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
