I'm a Mucky Puppy!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here on a fine Saturday!

The Missus was out good and early this morning doing her 'Litter Picking' bit for the village, together with all her mates and Auntie Shelia who is our mate as well!

Waking Old Two Legs up was a bit of a job but he couldn't ignore us jumping on him and giving his ear a good licking!

Finally we get him out the front door and off to the Sea Wall.

When we got there, we found the tide was so far out we couldn't even see it!

So OTL took a picture of the mud!

Now at this point I would have put the picture in this blog, but for some reason the photos won't upload! So, if it gets better before I publish the blog, you'll get the pictures, if not, close your eyes and imagine!

Mud and Shingle

Holly found a ball of egg sacks and we had a game of 'Throw', needless to say, Holly was better than me!

Holly and me with the Egg Sacks

OTL got out our ball and showed it to us, then he threw it along the path. Trouble was, I was too quick for him and first it bounced on the floor, then it bounced on my back, then it bounced on my nose as I tried to grab it in mid air.

Then it bounced on the path and down it went towards the mud, bouncy, bouncy!

Then it hit the mud and went 'Gloop!' and disappeared!

In I went after the ball, up to my knees, it was 'orrible!

Mud!

I'm getting Muckyer!

Then I came out, all mucky and smelling of Yuk!

OTL said that I was in for a washing when I got back home, the sooner the better!

After lunch we went off to The Forest, it was great fun chasing around looking for squirrels, we saw a good number running around in the trees. None of them stayed on the ground and as we can't climb trees, we just woofed at them and called them names!

Squirrel Nutkin Doing a Runner!

Another Squirrel Bumkin!

Along the path came a tiny little doggy, 'Here' says Holly, 'Look what I've found!'

Watch it! Says our new friend, I may be small but I could take the pair of you on at the same time, with one paw tied behind my back!

Here, Daisy! Look What I Found!

 Ooo! Said Holly, you are so brave!

Back home for a snooze before dinner but suddenly TM & OTL started to get ready to go out, not sure about this, will we be going with them? Will we get fed?

More tomorrow!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

PS. It's Sunday morning and I've just managed to get the photos uploaded!

More Squirreling Around!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again!

Good News, it's Friday!

We had a lazy start to the day, we were a whole hour late in getting up!

Even Old Two Legs was snoozing instead of showering!

Finally we got down the Sea Front and the sun was doing its best to shine through the clouds.

OTL said it was a shame that it was cloudy and bright, which we didn't understand, until he said that if it was dark and clear, we would be able to see the Aurora Borealis 'cos there was a Red Alert which meant we could have seen it down here in the South of England!

But it wasn't and we couldn't, so we didn't bother!

I was showing Holly my impression of Barney, but she said I didn't look 'Gawky' enough! 

Look, I'm a Barney!

Holly did her 'Looking Good' pose for OTL and got him to take her picture, again! I said that she is getting too much of a Tart, wiggling her tail and doing these poses all the time.

She said that 'If you got it, flaunt it!'

Looking Good Again!

After lunch it was down The Forest again, looking for those pesky squirrels. We spotted a few, but they were too high in the trees to chase. We called for them to come down but they just blew raspberries at us!

While looking up in the trees, we spotted this bird that first of all looks like a Mistle Thrush but OTL is not 100% sure.

Well, it looks like a Mistle Thrush

While he was standing there trying to decide, Holly and I went off Hunting Squirrels again.

First of all, Holly went into Deep Cover, to try spotting from a 'Hidden Spot'

Bet you can't see me!

Then she tried hiding up a tree, just the place you wouldn't expect a puppy to be!

A New Spotting Place!

But there was no success there either!

So, nothing for it but to resort to the old tried and tested 'Ground Sniffin and Stalking' method!

On The Hunt!

As I said before, we spotted a few but they wouldn't come down to get 'Terriorised', spoil sports!

We saw loads of the wild Daffodils in the wood, a sure sign that Spring is here!

Wild Daffodils

Back home again for a well earned snooze before dinner of Lambs Heart.

So, now we have to plan what to do tomorrow, down to The Marshes or maybe a long run down The New Park or wot about The Lakes?

Decisions Decisions!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Looking good as normal!)

The Missus is all Giggly!

Hello Woofers!

D&H Here again!

We had a good laugh last night, Old Two Legs spent all evening going Ooo, Ooo! Every time he had to walk around, pretending his ankle was giving him loads of pain. We reckon he just wanted sympathy!

Well, bed time came and The Missus was off early 'cos she'd had a hard time at her Master Class.

Then we went up and curled up on the bed next to her.

OTL was playing on the computer doing some last minute emails to foreign places. He opened up one of his Pain Killer Tablets, Paraceto something or other. He was going to take it just before going to bed to ease the ache in his ankle and allow him to get to sleep quickly.

Problem is, he forgot to take it, went off to bed leaving it on his office desk.

So, after kicking us off the bed and settling down to sleep, he suddenly remembered he'd forgotten the pill!

Out of bed he gets, leaving the light off, 'cos he didn't want to wake TM. She gets all 'Grumbly' if she's woken up in the middle of the night.

Off he walks towards the door and knowing he had left the door open, he confidently headed for the opening.

That was right up to the point where he found the door had swung half shut.

There was an almighty 'Thud', OTL shouted.....'IT!' or something that sounded like that!

Yep, he had run head first into the edge of the door, OTL was not a 'Happy Puppy'

Now not only did he have an aching ankle but now he had an aching head as well!

So now OTL opened up another of his pills and took two, one for his head and one for his ankle!

We had to stick our heads under our cushions to stop him hearing our giggling!

Talking of giggling, it is TM's birthday later this month and OTL being a kind and loving sort has ordered her the latest superduperallsinginganddancingdogsdanglybits iPad 3 that she has been on about for ages. So all day today she has been reading up everything she can find on the Internet relating to the thing and every time she finds a new bit of info, she goes all giggly again!

It's getting a bit too much for us!

No pictures today 'cos OTL has been working too hard in the office, but we did get to go down the Forest this afternoon, looking for squirrels, (didn't see any) Jay's for OTL, (didn't see any) Rabbits for Holly, (didn't see any)!

So we were not doing too good as far as the hunting goes!

On our way back, we dropped into the 'Doggy Shop' (wonderful sniffs in that place!) and OTL bought us some treats and chews and biscuits.

On the way to the checkout we passed the glass box where they keep the pet rabbits, Holly asked if OTL would buy her one, he said that it was very good that Holly wanted to look after a rabbit at home as a pet.

Oh no, said Holly, she didn't want to keep it as a pet, she wanted TM to cook it then eat it for dinner!

Then, she said, Trev could have his 'Davy Crockett Hat'!


See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

OTL Finds a Sniff to roll in!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Not a day for sun bathing on the beach! We went outside the front door and were greeted with a cold wind and driving rain!

It stopped raining as we arrived, so off we went on our hunt for sniffs. There was one Wormy Man out on the flats digging like crazy and Holly pointed out that someone had left their digging fork in the mud!

Where's Me Worms!

 As we were heading back to the car we spotted another camera crew getting set up for another interview with the RSPB man saying it's wrong to think about building a new airport on our beach!

No, we Don't want an airport here!

 Then they spotted us and rushed up to beg an interview from us, Holly said that they should contact our agent who wouldn't be available until next week!

Take your Airport and Shove It!

 We think it is a big cheek, trying to build an airport on the grass where we have our morning walk!

Old Two Legs, had a very busy day running around, here and there and over there as well!

We got a walk down the Riverside Park and managed to dodge the rain. Then it was off to the Bank to put some money in, after which we went off to the rubbish tip!

We got OTL to take us down the New Park, as we were so very close and he agreed!

OTL didn't bring his camera 'cos it would get wet, so, you don't have a chance to see what happened.

If your sitting comfortably, I'll begin.

OTL was throwing our ball for us and I was always first to get it. Then I would rush off into the grass, put it down and have a sniff. OTL would have to walk off the path, over the grass, to pick up the ball and throw it again for me.

It's a good game and gives him a bit of exercise!

OTL picked up our ball and took a step backwards, unfortunately, as he turned, he twisted his ankle  and fell over, backwards, rolling over onto his back with his legs up in the air!

Grumbling he got up and looked at us, still having a sniff, and asked us why we hadn't rushed over to help him up?

Well, said Holly, we thought you had found a good sniff and was having a roll in it!

That didn't go down too well!

So, he limped back to the car and we headed off for home!

Tonight we have chicken while The Missus is off to do her 'Master Class' in Brayering.

Bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (& A Smelly OTL!)

Rush, Rush, Rush!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again.

Still no news from the Zoe front, looks like the baby has gone back to sleep. Typical of us females, just can't make up our minds you see!

We were up late this morning, making up for yesterday! It was super sunny down on the Sea Wall and the birds were all flying around us. I did my 'Super Pose' so Old Two Legs can take my photo for the record book!

Daisy Dog looking Good!

Holly said I was trying too hard but as I pointed out, at least I don't have to hold my stomach in!

That didn't go down too well but we left the fighting until later!

OTL was hard at work in the office and then he tried sneaking out to go and collect his camera, without us!

No chance!

After that it was down the caravan shop looking for a new table 'cos The Missus managed to destroy the last one! Seems like OTL has to bring the old one down there as they need to make measurements of the leg length.

Then we went down The Lakes, great place for a run, loads of ducks and geese. Holly decided that she wouldn't chase them today, mainly because there were too many of them. Holly was scared they may gang up and chase her!


There were some RSPCA people trying to catch a swan. Seems like the swan has got tangled up in some fishing line and also had a hook stuck in it's neck. It seemed OK but we reckon it will be please when the hook is taken out!

Trying to catch Mummy Swan!

On our way around the Lake we saw a tree all covered in blossom, it's a sure sign Spring has arrived!

Springs Here!

This evening OTL has to go out, poor thing, working in the evening! Still, we will give him a cuddle when he gets back!

Bye Bye for now, see you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Funny Monday!

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy & Holly looking for some fun!

You know how we were brought into the house as Guard Dogs, well, last night we made an extra special job of guarding the house.

Around two thirty, Holly heard some funny noises going on next door and thinking it was Burglars, started off with her 'Warning Bark', that normally scares off any Burglars.

This time it didn't, so she starts doing her 'If I have to get out of bed to you, your in deep trouble!' Woof and Bark combination.

That didn't do any good.

So off she sets, down the stairs and up to the front window and starts a terrible woofing and howling and snarling and gnashing of her teeth!

By then I was down with her, joining in the 'Anti Burglar' alarm call.

But the noise carried on.

In one of those pauses for breath, Holly says, 'Here, I think that dustbin lid is making the Burglar Noise!'

So it was! All flapping about in the wind.

'Better not tell Old Two Legs what it was' and I agreed. So back to bed we went and informed OTL we had scared off a big gang of nasty mean looking Burglars!

The Missus was heard to say ' O Yes, we believe that!'

You know, some times I don't think we get the respect we deserve!

OTL took us down The Farm first thing 'cos he had to take his new camera in for a clean up. We ran up and down the path looking for squirrels but didn't see any at all!

I can't see any squirrels at all!

 Which was a little strange 'cos we normally see at least one!

I thought I caught the sniff of one going up the path and told Holly we were 'On The Trail' and she said she was right behind me, which she was, except when I stopped to check the sniff and she bumped into me with her nose!

She was not a Happy Puppy 'cos not long ago I'd had a poo!

I'm right behind you Sis!

We had a 'Discussion' about it but OTL caught us up and told us to 'Get a move on' so we didn't start fighting, which made a change!

After the walk we went on to deliver the camera to the man who cleans them for OTL.

Back home to a good breakfast of Lamb Heart and biscuits then a snooze before our afternoon walk.

This time it was down the Sea Wall and we very nearly didn't get out of the car.

The wind was terrific! It nearly blew us  to the back of the car park!

We spotted a nut taking photo's, as Holly says, there's more nuts than OTL who are daft enough to take photos in a howling gale!

What ISO should I use?

Then OTL spotted some Ringed Plovers who were trying to feed along the shore.

Too Windy For Breakfast!

Holly was getting all excited 'cos she could smell chicken being cooked. She reckons it was coming from a KFC shop on the Southend on Sea seafront!

Mmmm! KFC BBQ Chicken!

That girls got a super sensitive nose where chicken is concerned!

We spent the afternoon snoozing in OTL's office, in our Day Beds. Then we woke up just in time to mug OTL for some of his dinner!

Now how's that for timing!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

PS. We heard that Zoe's baby can't make up it's mind on when it wants to be born, it starts and then stops and starts again and stops, well let's face it, she is in a nice warm place, who would want to come out today in this weather!

Damp Sunday

Hello Woofers!

D&H back again!

What a damp old day it has been today!

We were out early with Old Two Legs, well, about ten thirty 'cos we all over slept and just didn't fancy getting up early!

The wind was getting up and we could feel the beginning of rain starting to fall. So, off we went at a sharp trot to get back before it got too wet!

Just as we got to our normal 'turn to go back' spot, who should appear? Barney!

Yahoooo Girlies!

Hey girls, have you seen my ball?

Have you found my ball?

 We said that we had not seen it and we had kept an eye open for it. Never mind, he said, I've got hundreds more at home but that one tasted just right!

OK, Right! Must dash, it is starting to rain and I don't have my coat on and you know how I hate rain!

And with that, he was off!

Bye bye Girlies!

 We carried on the walk and found some fishermen, so Holly asked if they had seen Barney's ball but they hadn't, so we left them to pack up their gear before the rain came down!

Have you seen Barney's ball?

 Back home we got a good rub down with the towel and a brush plus some anti flea stuff. We always get 'done' in the first few days of the month. It pongs a bit but after a while you get used to the smell.

After lunch we went out for our walk again but this time it was raining seriously, so serious that Old Two Legs put our coats on, which kept the rain off our backs, but not our faces!

Out of the car, chase a couple of rabbits and a quick wee then back to the car, no hanging about when the weather is like this!

Back home to another towelling and a snooze on the sofa until dinner time, waking only to mug OTL for a cookie!

Lambs heart tonight, well that's what The Missus said, providing she doesn't burn them!

Bye bye for now.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Warm & Dry on a Sunday evening)

Not a Squirrel To Be Seen!

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy & Holly, doing what we do best!

Being Saturday, we decided to have a lie in,  until seven, instead of getting up at five thirty, as we do during the week! Old Two Legs appreciated that, you could tell by the snoring sounds he was making!

After getting OTL all showered and dressed we went out to the Sea Wall for our morning walk. Just wandering along, minding our own business, sniffin the sniffs and leaving a few of our own, when over the hill came Barney!

Yahooooooo Girlies!

Look at Meeee! I can do the Two Legs Walk!

Look! Me doing a Two Legs!

We had a bit of a chase around and he told us he had lost his ball. So we said we would keep our eyes open for it and get OTL to look after it until we see him again.

Then he turned around and shouted, 'They've left me behind!' and in a moment he was off looking for his owners, calling back 'See you Soooon Girlies!'

Oi! They've left me behind!

That was it, he was off like a rocket chasing after them!

We carried on a bit further down the Sea Wall and had a run on the beach, well, really it's just a load of crushed shells, but we call it The Beach!

When we got home, there was Auntie Karen, (The Cat Woman), she had come around for the day to splash the glue pot around and spend all day gassing with The Missus, as they do!

You know what? Just before she was about to go home, she showed us what she had made, a box thingy for some Easter Chocs!

That was it, all day, and just one paper bag to show for it!

Is that all!

 Sorry the photo is blurred but OTL was laughing so much!

TM made a load, not cards or stuff, just mess, loads of it all over the floor, glitter, bits of paper from die punches, bits of ribbon and more glitter.

You know, she even managed to over heat the vacuum cleaner when she tried to clear it all up!

For our afternoon walk we went down to The Forest, the sunshine was great and all the squirrels were hiding! OTL saw one but we didn't, not even one!

I did some hard looking but they just seemed to be hiding where I couldn't find them!

I Looked.

Me, Looking!

......and then I Sniffed!

Me, Sniffin!

Then Holly joined in, doing her Spotting Thingy!

I spy with my eye.........nothing!

OTL was wandering around with his nose in the air looking for birds but they seemed as rare as the Squirrels! That was until he spotted four Jay's chasing each other around, so, OTL stood in front of a tree and waited, and waited, and waited some more. Of course, the birds didn't come back!

Poor OTL, he has been looking for a good shot of a Jay for years and never got near enough. He took a shot but the bird was too far away and looking the other way!

OTL's Jay

Poor OTL, he does try, maybe soon he will get a decent shot soon!

Back home to a chicken dinner and a cuddle with OTL while mugging him for his shortbread. It's a hard life being a puppy!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Saying Hello To The Not Not's

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Fridays are normally 'wind down' days. You know, planning for the weekend, finishing up and little jobs you missed doing during the week, a sort of catch up and tidy up before the weekend type of day.

Normally, yes, but not today!

We started out as normal, a walk along the Sea Wall, say hello to the Oyster Catchers and the Corvid Family.

Morning Lads!

Then Old Two Legs had another bash at the sea weed 'cost being so misty, loads of water droplets were hanging like jewels from the fronds.

Sea Weed Jewels?

By the time he had finished playing with the sea weed, it was late getting back. OTL had a load of stuff to do and he was so busy that The Missus had to take us for our lunch time walk around The Fields, which wasn't so bad 'cos we haven't been around there for some time, plus there were a few new sniffs!

We got back and within five minutes we were chasing OTL down the stairs, him carrying a load of stuff to be delivered and us making sure he didn't go without us!

We spent a boring half an hour in the car waiting for him to get things sorted with his customer then pointed him in the direction of The New Park!

It was a bit late but we weren't complaining, too much!

First dog we met was a young lad of just twelve weeks on his first outing. Needless to say, OTL fell in love with him!

Eye See You!

He was a young Husky sort of dog and they normally have beautiful blue eyes but this lad had one brown eye and one blue one! We didn't mention it at all as that would be rude and give him a complex about his eyes!

We all had a sniff and he jumped around a bit before going off with his owners. OTL has removed the lead that he was attached to with the computer program. Clever old stick he is!

Guess what? The Not Nots were out in the field today!

We went over to say 'Hello', well, really we went over to poke fun at their snooty ways! It wasn't long before they started. It went something like this...........'Hello Not Nots' .......Oh, it's you two again.........'How's yer belly for fur?'..........we don't have fur, we have Wool and mind your manners or we will come and stamp our foot at you and whistle!'.........'Ooooooo, get you!'

How's yer Belly?

And so it went on, us making fun of them and them telling us off! OTL said that we should try to be friends with them 'cos you never know when that might be handy!

Holly an me stopped woofing at them and we all sort of stood giving each other the old 'Hairy Eyeball' treatment, but they weren't as good as us and they started to whistle and stamp their feet at us. As Holly says.............Oooo! Don't they look fearsome! Then we ran away pretending we were scared!

'Such Rude Little Puppy's!'

We were still laughing about it all when we got home and was going to tell TM all about it but she had gone out baby sitting, and she didn't even tell us!

Poor OTL had to cook his own dinner and make up ours as well!

Didn't taste too bad, his or ours!

So that's it really, we had a snooze and a wait for TM to get back and now off to bed!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Not friends of the Not Not's)

We've been to The Marsh!

Hi Ho Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy & Holly!

Another super sunny day here in North Kent.

We went out this morning and the sun was absolutely beating down on us. We were even getting a bit warm running about!

Old Two Legs was playing about with the camera trying to take pictures, into the sun, with no success!

This one Didn't Work!

We didn't care, there were loads of sniffs to keep us busy!

We were walking back to the car when we heard an amazing sound of birds having a punch-up, when we saw the cause of it all Holly couldn't stop laughing. It seems that a Rook was collecting twigs for the nest it was building. A pair of Magpies didn't like the idea of the Rook muscling in on their tree, so, they were telling the Rook where to go!

'Oi' You, Get Off Of My Tree!'

Well, the Rook being bigger and with a nasty looking beak didn't take any notice at all!

In fact, just to show how much she cared, she snapped a twig off the tree and waved it at the Magpies, then, just to add insult to injury, she threw the twig on the ground and stood there making a racket, 'cawing away to the Magpies!

.....and do you know what I'm going to do with this twig?

OTL decided that the afternoon was too good to waste in the office, so he hung the sign up that said he was 'away on business' and picked up the camera and us and we headed off to The Marsh!

We haven't been down there for ages so there was loads of new sniffs for us to catch up on!

A good time was had in the Bird Hides and we had a serious woof at anyone who wanted to come into the hide!

Holly spotted a very rare bird, she said it was the Two Legged Lake Chicken and that it was more than likely to have been blown off course in the high winds 'cos it's normal territory is South Africa, on the mountain tops and in fact there is a mountain where they all go to eat Chicken and it's called Table Top Mountain.

So there!

OTL said she was talking from under her tail, again!

Holly just ignored him and kept on about how to cook a Two Legged Lake Chicken!

A tasty Two Legged Lake Chicken!

Both Holly and I were running all over the place, woofing at people and dogs and birds and just woofing for the pleasure of woofing!

That was until we got covered in burs from these nasty plants, so we had to go to OTL for him to pick them all off for us.

He's good at that sort of thing!

On our way back we spent most of the time asleep in the car and after dinner, we have spent most of the time snoozing as well!

Now we are off to give OTL a cuddle and see if he's got the shortbread out of the cupboard yet!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
