The Snow Man's Gone!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again.

What a cold and windy day today! We went on our morning walk, with our coats on, 'cos the wind was blowing and the snow was trying very hard to snow! Poor Old Two Legs had to have his hood up on his coat as well as his hat!

You know, it was so cold that even the sniffs were frozen!

Look! Frozen Sniffs!

The tide was out so we saw a few Brent Geese and some waders paddling about in the mud. This time OTL sneaked down the breakwater and surprised the Brent Geese, so they all made a noise that sounded a bit like a Birdy Raspberry!

We know you're there!

As we got to the end of our walk, we came upon a terrible sight, the Snow Man had gone!

I mean, like there was nothing left of him at all!

Gone, just Gone!

There's no man here!

Holly reckons he has gone back to digging for worms but I think that he has gone off with the Snow Fairy!

We came back to the Sea Wall at lunch time but didn't spend a long time down there 'cos the wind just blew right the way through you.

Holly and I had a game of chase on the beach, the only place where there was some good snow, we even had a roll in it for fun!

A Roll in the Snow!

Half way through the roll my coat came undone and I got snow down my neck! OTL brushed it all out and put my coat back in place.

Holly and I then ran along the beach sniffing and woofing all the way to the end of the path!

The wind was blowing so hard and the waves were getting blown all over the place, Holly reckons this is a real Winters Day!

Winters Day Today!

Back home to Lambs Heart and Biscuits and afterwards we can mug OTL for his Shortbread!

TM is out tonight, doing one of her Master Classes on paint spreading techniques with a pastry roller, I think she calls it Brayering!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

The Revenge of The Worms!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

Guess what? Holly didn't want to get up this morning, she had found a warm soft part of Old Two Legs bed and she was not going to move for anything. Well, that was until OTL started tickling her tail until she was wriggling around and laughing! Well, it's got to be better than grumbling first thing!

We went down to the Sea Wall, the sun was shining but the wind was a bit chilly. That means we were running about all over the place to keep warm and if we got too hot, we just had a roll in the snow!

A Good place for a roll!

Poor Wormy man was not feeling too well, we think that a passing gang of Worms had a word with him for digging up all their family members. Lets say he has a w(hole) new outlook on life! Holly said he was looking Arm-less as well as having his head in the clouds!

I don't feel well!

We saw some Brent Gees close to shore and Holly was ready to run down the beach to grab one, just to see if they tasted like chicken but OTL said no, the mud would be very cold and mucky!

Chicken or Goose or Chicken or Goose?

All of a sudden we heard a familiar sound .......... 'Yahoooo Girlies!

It was Barney!

Yahoooo Girlies!

There he was, in a flurry of snow and ice, racing along the path! We had a game of chase and of course he won on account of his long legs.

He showed us a new trick he had perfected, it involved his 'Ball on a Rope' and he could balance the ball on the end of the rope!

Just like That!

A couple of times it fell over but in the end I spotted how he did it, he would swing it around and then pretend it was balanced. I know that 'cos he never kept it up for very long!

Or maybe like That!

After he had gone I told Holly how he did the ball and rope trick but she didn't believe me at all and said that I was only jealous 'cos I couldn't do it and I said that she only believed him 'cos she fancied him really and................................ and that's when the fight started!

Fight!

Holly was showing off all the way home but after a bit of lunch and a game with OTL everything was OK!

The Missus has been off to babysit this afternoon so we have been playing 'Chase' with OTL all over the house, he has been chasing us with our squeaky toys and we have been fighting with him by jumping up and licking his ears!

TM got back just before dinner, so we had nice warm chicken and biscuits this evening, after mugging OTL for a bit of his dinner!

We plan to go to the Riverside tomorrow 'cos OTL has got some stuff to drop off and we pass the park, so, more chasing the birds!

Bye bye for now.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Frozen Wormy Man!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again.

This morning we were down the Sea Wall, all very snowy and calm!

Calm

I was running and jumping in and out and all over the snow.

Me jumping!

Holly on the other hand was trying to fly again, without much success. I told her the runways were too snowy for a take off!

I've got snow on my undercarriage!

We got just around the corner when we saw one of the Wormy Men who had been waiting for the tide to go out, poor lad, he must have forgot to drink his Bovril!

Frozen Wormy Man!

Old Two Legs was laughing at us for thinking it was real, he said that you can make things like that with the snow, even doggies like us, but not moving!

I'll make a Big Dog!

Holly tried to make a snow dog but she got fed up with digging and then trying to pat the snow into shape 'cos it kept sticking to her paws!

Just about then Tess came bounding over the hill and made a big fuss of OTL and told us all about the Snow Fairy and wasn't it great and she hope it will stay forever and didn't it tickle your nose when you sniff it in!

Isn't it great!

As she was a young puppy we didn't let on that it would be gone soon but we told her to keep warm and enjoy having a roll in the snow!

OTL was going on about the mist and the light and he was playing with his camera. He said that the shot of the Medway Fort reminded him of the pictures by the painter Turner, who ever he was!

Strange light across the Medway

On our way back we caught a fisherman taking a photo of our frozen Wormy Man, maybe he wanted to buy some worms so he can teach them how to swim!

Smile, say Snow!

Lunch time we went out down to the New Park for a run around. We met up with a young Beagle who was all jumping and running around. No manners at all, I had to give him a good woofing for sticking his nose under my tail!

Woof Off!

 Even Holly had to give him a woof as well, which is most unlike Holly, but you must tell them off if they deserve it or else they will grow up thinking they can just do it to anyone!

After he had gone I did what I have been wanting to do for some time, I had a roll in the snow!

It was super, I rolled onto my side, then my back, then my other side and then back again and then I did it all over again three more times!

OTL was laughing at me having so much fun that I thought he would join me for a roll!

Super, Just SUPER!

Back home for a rub down with our towel and a snooze before dinner, Chicken & Biscuits!

I wonder if the Wormy Man will still be there tomorrow?

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

She's Here!

Yo Woofers!

Daisy & Holly & The Snow Fairy here!

Finally she has arrived, she crept up here during the night, well when we went to bed she hadn't arrived  but this morning WOW! She has covered everything!

We went for a run over The Farm 'cos Old Two Legs decided it was not worth getting the big car out on slippery roads just so we can have a wee!

We didn't care and after putting on our coats we were off!

Running along the road was great, jumping over the snow, it was so deep, it came up to our tummy's!

Nearly up to our tummy's!

We said hello to the man from the village shop, he said it was a bit too cold for him!

Too Cold!

Up at the Field, OTL let us off the lead and we ran................all over the field!

Yahooooooooo!

There were sniffs from passing foxes and other dogs who had come out for a walk earlier.

OTL sneaked off while we were sniffing, then he called us and ran off, so we both chased after him and caught him in no time, you see, he can't run quickly on the snow, not like us!

Caught You!

In the distance there was one of these Serious Runners, you know, headband, Lycra trousers and running shoes!

As she passed we shouted 'Hello' but we know that to her it sounded like 'Woof'!

Serious Runner!

Holly was charging ahead when she suddenly stopped and started woofing, me being big and brave, hung back and did my Meerkat stance and saw that it was nothing but a black plastic bag caught on the fence!

Whatsthat?

Wot a big Scary Dog she is!

When we got back home we had great big lumps of snow hanging onto our fur, so, OTL and The Missus washed us down with warm water to get rid of the lumps. It was soon all off and we were soon dried and brushed!

OTL brushed the snow off the bird food and refilled the bird feeders and was treated to a Robin and a Blackbird landing on the feeders while he was working on them!

Finished Yet?

The Robin was even braver, It just hopped onto the feeder and started eating!

Thanks for the food, now clear off!

OTL got the message and left them to it, he went out the front and took a picture of one of the trees with the snow on the branches!

One of our trees!

So now we have a picture of our tree and the Snow Fairy!

Well, that's all for today, we have been so busy, even at lunch time it was more snow and warm water to get the snow balls off our legs!

We're looking forward to a run tomorrow along the Sea Wall, just to see what the Snow Fairy has done down there!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Snow Queens)

The Snow Fairy is late!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Well, we were disappointed this morning, we both woke up good and early and stuck our noses behind the curtain to see what the Snow Fairy had done over night, nothing!

Holly and I were Not Amused!

We had looked at the weather forecast and that said there would be snow, but here in North Kent, nothing!

Holly even went back to bed and showed off, especially when Old Two Legs told her to get up 'cos we're going for a walk, she got all grumbly and refused to get up until OTL threatened to give her a bath!

When we got down to the Sea Wall, we had a good sniff around but didn't find any snow, Holly was not happy at all!

Look, No Snow!

OTL said that we may find some a bit further on but Holly was still showing off and was doing her 'Grumbly Mood' show off bit all the way along the beach!

OTL spotted a Curlew landing a bit further up the beach, so he started his 'Sneaky Up Walk' so he can get a good picture. Holly and me walked along the Sea Wall looking for sniffs.

Holly decided to walk a little further up and without OTL noticing, scared off the Curlew! Holly didn't say anything but she ran off into the grass to watch OTL.

He sneaked up to the breakwater and popped his camera over the top and snapped a.........

Redshank!

Holly was rolling on the ground laughing!

Now it was OTL's turn to be Grumbly!

As we turned the corner, there, on the ground, was a long trail of snow! It was in small patches and was melting!

Snow?

Holly said it was strange and was it just where the Snow Fairy had stopped and had a wee? Further up we found a larger patch, so we inspected it, sniffed it, licked it, pawed it a bit.

Snow Fairy?

We decided that it was Snow Fairy Wee and that if we were good, she would come back again!

So, off we went home and were good puppies all the morning and even lunch time when OTL had some buttered toast for lunch!

Well, we only mugged him a little bit!

After lunch we went out to The Farm, which was good 'cos we haven't been there for a week or two.

New Sniffs.

There were a few more sniffs to sample and Holly says that she can sniff the new plants growing.

We went on a bit further and we met up with a Staffy and a huge Rottweiler who decided I might be fun to chase. Well, I was just a little bit scared but I didn't show it too much and when he started to chase me I turned around and gave him one of my serious ''YoucomeanycloserandIwillpullyourtailupthroughyourmouthantieitinaknotaroundyourteeth'  type of woof!

Any Closer!

 That sorted him out and I seriously impressed Holly with my brave stand.

I didn't tell her I was nearly pooing my self!

After that little 'Meeting' we were into the woods to search for squirrels but they were all in bed!

So, we went hunting for foxes, we found a load of holes that looked promising and there were some foxy type sniffs to be sniffed. At one hole we shouted down for the fox to wake up and come out for a chat. As you guessed, nothing, they stayed inside and carried on snoozing!

Hey! Foxy, come on out!

So off we went to another hole and that smelt even more of foxy, so we shouted again and Holly reckons she could hear some snoring going on down the hole!

We know you're down there!

Back home we both were given a roasted pigs ear each, Holly fell asleep cuddling it but I gave mine a good mullering and soon finished it!

OTL said it would spoil my appetite for the lambs heart dinner tonight, just watch me!

Claws crossed for visit by the Snow Fairy!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

No Snow Fairy Today!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

We woke up this morning all excited, dashed to the window and looked out. It was still dark but we could see the tops of the cars and the street.

No Snow!

The Snow Fairy didn't come last night, we are not 'Happy Puppies'!

Mind you, the wind had dropped so it was not as cold as yesterday, so our walk along the Sea Wall was good fun 'cos the sniffs couldn't get away!

We couldn't make our mind up if the tide was coming in or going out but there were loads of wader type birds having breakfast on the shore.

Bird Breakfast!

There was one that Old Two Legs said was an Oyster Catcher, he looked right miserable, so we called out to see if he had found any Oysters yet!

He said he didn't eat oysters and he was not too happy 'cos his feet were cold!

I don't do Oysters!

Holly said he shouldn't keep paddling in the sea in his bare feet and should have put wellies on!

We met up with the Closet Seagull again. He said his feet weren't cold but he wished he had webbed feet so he can go walking in the mud. Holly said he should have a look on the Internet for a supplier of wellies in the shape of webbed feet!

I wish I could Wade!

All he said was .......What's the Internet?

That bird really aught to get a life!

We went down to the Forest this afternoon, great fun chasing squirrels. Holly would do the spotting and I did the chasing!

Hey Sis! There's one up here!

Holly is getting good at spotting but she is just not as fast as me!

OK, Who's Next!

We had loads of chasing but they all got away in the end!

Back home to some chicken and biscuits and of course, OTL to mug for some nibbles!

OTL says that the Snow Fairy may come tomorrow, claws crossed!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Another Chilly Day

Yo Ho Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy & Holly back with you on a bit of a Chilly Day today.

It was so cold that after our early morning wee in the garden, Holly decided that the bed was the place to be and when Old Two Legs called out 'Walkies', she stayed curled up on the duvet. Even when OTL came upstairs and tickled her tail and asked her if she wanted a walk, all she did was 'Grumble'!

Holly does not do mornings, wet or cold!

OTL said it was for her own good and carried her downstairs where he put her coat on. Only then did she brighten up a bit and woofed to go out!

Down the Sea Wall we watched the Sea Gulls getting blown about and the sea was getting blown about as well!

Windy Weather!

We watched them for a bit then carried on having a sniff along the path.

We had got about half way along the wall when we heard 'Gangway Girls, Coming into Land!'

Coming into Land!

It was Barney again, arriving at the speed of sound, as normal!

Yo Ho Girlie's! He shouted as he crash landed, again, 'Good to see your up and about'

Holly asked him just how it was that he could fly so well and could she ever fly?  Of course you can he said, it's just a matter of believing you can, come on, let's have a run up and down this bit of grass!

I left them to it and carried on digging out this super sniff that was under some rabbit poo.

Then I heard it, it was Holly going WEEEEE....I'M FLYING!

I Can FLY!

There she was zooming along behind Barney and the pair of them had all four paws off the ground!

Well after that there was no stopping her, next I suppose she will be growing feathers!

For the next half an hour all I could hear was her squeaking out 'Look At Meeeee!)

Look at Meeeee!

It was only when Barney's owner called him that he just flew off, all we heard was Bye Girlie's!

Bye Girlie's! Stand by for take off!

Then he was off!

Holly was all out of breath and a bit dizzy from too much flying!

Back home to let her have a rest, too much flying can upset the system!

I have listened to the weather forecast tonight and it looks like the Snow Fairy could be calling tomorrow, I do hope so, Holly and I have been looking forward to seeing her again and it gives us a chance to go out in the big car 'cos it's got Four Wheel Drive!

Bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Pilot Second Class!)

Cold & Windy Today!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again.

We had some fun last night, we went to bed a little later than normal 'cos we were mugging Old Two Legs for some shortbread and his stash of Cheese Straws. (OK for a nibble or two but we couldn't eat a whole pack!)

So, there we were around eleven, climbing the stairs to bed, a quick lick and a chew of our Rawhide before wandering off to our beds. Around two in the morning, The Missus gets up for a wee and turns on all the lights to see where she's going, (OTL didn't do that last week and ended up bumping into the bedroom door and getting a lump on his forehead!)

So, there we were all awake and wondering what all the commotion is about. Well, we couldn't get back to sleep, Holly wandered off down stairs and sat by the back door, then she gave one of her 'I Wanna Wee' woofs, at the same time I was licking OTL's ear and doing my little whine.

TM knowing what was going on, elbowed OTL in the back and told him that we wanted to go out.

So, there we were in the early hours having a run around the garden, woofing at the stars!

This morning we got up late!

Off for our walk along the Sea Wall we got some really good sniffs on the beach but the wind was so strong they were being blown all over the place!

Hey! This is a good Sniff!

As soon as you find the sniff, it went!

Oi! Come back here sniff, I haven't finished yet!

OTL tried sneaking up on a Curlew but Holly scared it off.

Curlew about to fly!

Holly was trying to fly again!

Lift Off Speed, Carriage Up!

We met up with a Greyhound type of dog called Redding, yes, we thought that was a strange name as well but you can't choose your own name!

This doggy had only three legs, one of the back ones was missing! Well we looked and were a bit taken aback but we didn't say anything, 'cos, well it would be rude to mention it on our first meeting, maybe if we met again we could ask about it!

 The afternoon walk was good, we went down to the New Park, the wind was still blowing and I even found some snow still frozen on the ground from yesterday!

Look! Frozen Snow!

 We met one lad who was wandering along, minding his own business, when Holly calls out 'Yo Man, How's Your Belly for Spots?' He was a bit taken aback and while he was looking at Holly and thinking of something to say to this little madam, I sneaked a Crafty Sniff before he knew what was happening!

A Sneaky Sniff!

Holly and I were having a great game of 'Chase The Ball', OTL would kick it along the ground and Holly or I would get to it and try to hang onto it while the other tried to take it way.


Now that was OK until we started to get what OTL calls 'Competitive'

Ball Chasing with Sis!

 What happens is we pick the ball up and run away, the other tries to get it by chasing and grabbing from the mouth. This is OK most of the time, until one shoulder charges the other, who the retaliates by kicking out with the back legs and trips the first one up! So, the first one tries to grab the collar and wrestle the other to the floor but that only makes the second one cross and she drops the ball and tries to grab the first ones collar as well and..........................That's When The Fight Starts!

Another Fight!

 We had gone down the New Park in the big car, which was great as far as we are concerned, you see OTL has heated seats in this car and after a run in the cold wind, it's great to curl up on the passenger seat and get warm again, quickly!

Guess what we have tonight? That's it, Lambs Heart and biscuits. OTL says that if we eat too much Lambs Hearts we will turn into a sheep!

All Holly and I say to that is................Baa!

Bye bye all, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
