Our First Cuckoo this Year!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Guess what? We have heard the first Cuckoo calling this morning! We got out of the car by The Sea Wall and there is was belting out the familiar call!

Where's The Cuckoo!

Holly and I tried to copy its call but Old Two Legs says that we still sound like 'Woofers'!

Super run this morning, the wind was blowing but not too much and the sun was shining , but not too much, in fact a very pleasant walk indeed.

When we got home we saw that the small car was back and as we got closer to the front door we could smell traces of The Missus on the path. When we got into the hallway, it was there, loads of TM sniffs!

OTL let us off the lead and opened the door and in we flew, TM got a big wet ear licking as a welcome!

Lunch time walk was not good, in fact if it were not for the fact that last nights 'Doggy Scoff' was making a rumbling in my tummy, I would have stayed in doors!

It was raining, it was wet, it was cold, it was cold,wet and rainy and it rained on us!

We got back to the car, got towelled down and the car heater put on 'Full Blast'!

TM had gone again by the time we got back, more baby sitting, so we didn't get a chance to give her a lick on the ear whilst we were all damp and smelling of Dog!

She loves it really!

This afternoon was spent catching up on our snoozes and letting OTL get on with paying his suppliers. We always know when he does that 'cos he sobs hysterically every time he makes a BACS payment!

Poor Thing!

TM came back a bit late this evening so all we had time to do was to say 'Hello' and go back to our 'Before Bed Snooze'!

See you tomorrow and let's hope the rain stops because if it doesn't, we will have floods instead of a drought!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A New place To Walk!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

What a day it has been today, from when we first woke up to now just as we are going to bed it has been a super day.

First of all we went on our morning stroll along the Sea Wall, Old Two Legs saw a Dunnock on top of a bush and took a quick picture, shame the bird wasn't looking at OTL, but it was good to hear him singing, the bird that is, not OTL!

Dunnock.

We wandered along the beach and Holly found the left over from last nights party!

Empty Bottle.

 It is a real pity that they don't clear up the empty bottles after they finish with them. Sometimes we find these bottles broken and I wouldn't fancy standing on the broken glass!

Holly was playing 'Hide n Seek' with OTL. She would hide in the plants growing along side the path and wait until OTL whistled and called out for her, then she would jump out woofing and laughing at the same time!

This morning she had got the 'Pickle' in her!

Ho Ho Woofin Ho Ho!

Then we would run off ahead of OTL again!

We both hid in the grass and Holly said that the clouds were looking pretty today, so we lay on our backs looking at the clouds.

Pretty Clouds.

OTL finally caught us up and told us were we 'Mucky Puppies' for rolling in something smelly!

I'm sure he didn't believe us when we told him we were just looking at the clouds!

Later, when we went out again, OTL stopped the car in a new place. Then taking us across the road we arrived at a new walk!

This was part of the Sea Wall defence system we have around here, just waiting for the once in a lifetime storm!

A New Walk!

It was good searching out all the sniffs, there were doggy sniffs and duck sniffs and goose sniffs and sea gull sniffs!

There were So Many sniffs we had trouble keeping up with OTL!

Wide Open Sniffs!

While we were investigating some Foxy Sniffs we noticed that OTL was wandering around looking at the clouds, seems he has found a new interest!

More Stormy Clouds!

Holly found some feathers on the ground and after doing some examinations declared it was the last remains of a Black Headed Gull.

Mmmm, Smells Like Gull!

 When we got back home, we found The Missus packing ready to go off to do some overnight baby sitting.

We didn't mind too much 'cos that means we will have a good time with OTL, singing songs and telling jokes!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Saturday with Old Two Legs.

Hello all you Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

Today The Missus was up really early 'cos today is the day she goes off to her 'Village Crop' when all her local 'Crafty Mates' get to sit in the village hall together and splash the glue pot around and make a big mess everywhere!

I sometimes wonder about them you know!

Old Two Legs and us were off good and early to the Sea Wall. The sun was still low above the horizon and just for a change, no rain!

OTL asked us to stand on the wall so he could take a picture of us in 'Silhouette'. It was fun trying to stand there and not giggle, especially as Holly was blowing raspberries at the same time!

First, here is me.

Daisy in Silhouette

Then there is Holly.

Holly in Silhouette

Now I ask you, who looks better?

Me of course!

I'm slimmer, got a better hair cut and know how to 'Pose' properly!

When I said this to Holly she didn't agree, so we got into a 'Discussion' about it and she kept on about me looking like a 'Bag of Bones' compared to her 'Well Rounded' shape.

I said I was 'Slim' and 'Willowy' and she was 'Short and Dumpy' and her butt was too big!

It was about then that the fight started!

OTL marched us both home and told us to 'Go into the Naughty Corner' which confused us a little 'cos as far as we were concerned, we didn't have a Naughty Corner!

We kept our heads down for a while anyway, just to let him get on with his 'Jobs'.

First of all he gave the central heating system a good clean out and set about with the vacuum cleaner getting rid of all the dust and cob webs!

Then he got the grass cutting thingy wotsit out of the shed and cut down all the grass which was over a foot tall!

It was a shame he did that 'cos now we have no where to hide our chews!

By then it was lunch time and we all had a chat on where we could go, in the end, we decided on The Forest again!

Of course Holly and me went off 'Hunting Squirrel' and every one we found refused to come down and play chase. One even said he thought that we would eat him if he came down.

I taste of Squirrel, not chicken!

Holly promised she wouldn't eat him, unless he tasted of chicken!

I found another but he wouldn't come down either!

Professional Squirrel Hunter!

OTL didn't find any Jay birds to photograph, they all were hiding over the other side of the forest today!

So, no Jays and no Squirrels, so we went home!

It wasn't long before TM came back and showed us six 'Tags' she had made at her 'Crop'. OTL put his foot in in, he asked why she makes so many of these 'Tags' and never uses them on any presents?

She was not pleased and you could tell that by the way she growled at him and snatched the tags back out of his hand!

Never mind, we gave him a cuddle and helped him eat his shortbread!

See you tomorrow, F1 race is on late morning, so OTL has to get his work done before the race starts!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

OTL has to go out to Work!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again!

Today has been a sort of nothing day.

We got up early and went out with Old Two Legs for our run along the beach.

We saw Mr & Mrs Shellduck, paddling in the mud!

Mr & Mrs

Then we had to get out of the way of a 4x4 rolling along the path we normally take. OTL says it must be dangerous driving it about because of the Hazhem sticker it has on it's windows.
He says it has Corrosive and Toxic and Harmful and Irritant stuff on board and we had better not get too close or we could end up bald!

Keep Away!

Holly asked if that was the reason OTL didn't have much hair?

When we got back to the car, there was a youngster getting ready to go out for a walk.

Mr Max!

He said his name was Max and he was just too excited to stay and have a chat 'cos not only did he want to have a run but he wanted to do a wee as well!

OTL gave us a good brush when we got back, made sure we had our breakfast and spent a little time in the office.

Then he started to load up the car with tools and stuff. We knew what was about to happen, OTL was going back to working for a change!

Off he went and we were a bit upset he had left us at home.

The Missus took us out at lunch time but it wasn't the same, she didn't play 'Chase' or 'Hunt The Rabbit' she didn't even know any of our 'Walking Songs'!

And, she can't whistle like OTL!

We stayed cuddled up to OTL's jumper and although he wasn't there, we could still smell him!

When he finally did get back he was worn out, poor thing, he says he's getting too old for this working thing!

We had a good cuddle and as a treat he got out our chews so we can have a nibble  while watching the F1 practise on the television.

TM is off tomorrow to he 'Village Crop' so we will have OTL all to ourselves, so we can bully him into taking us for a run in The Forest!

Let's hope the weather is warm and sunny tomorrow!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Rain Rain and More Rain!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

What a day today! Every time we stick our noses out of the door, it is raining!

We went out for our early morning wee in the garden, yes, it was raining. So it was a quick trip, out and back again as soon as possible!

When Old Two Legs took us down to the Sea Wall, guess what? Yep! It was raining!

We reckon it was so bad the ships were parked up 'cos their windscreen wipers couldn't keep all the rain off the screen!

There was one parked up, called Norman Flower and it had a deck where a helicopter could land. It also had a very big Hiab type of crane at the back, so it couldn't have been a fishing boat!

Hello Flower!

We had a run on the beach and Holly spotted some gulls having breakfast of some bread that had been thrown on the beach. Holly took one look and went steaming off to see if it was fresh. The gulls called out to each other, 'Watch Out, There is Holly!'

Watch Out! There's Holly Dog!

Seems our sister is known all over the place for her eating habits!


Beside the ships parked up on the horizon, there was one hurrying into the Medway to off load his containers, OTL reckons they may have had a Pilot on board.

Low Flying Boat!

Holly just couldn't work out why the ship wasn't flying if it had a pilot.

We were heading back to the car when this very large poodle dog came jumping all over the place. Holly got a little scared and yelped, I ran behind OTL for protection!

Behave Yourself!

Holly had a woof at it but we don't think he was having a go at us, just lacking in the social graces of saying 'Hello'!

He said that he had come from a Rescue Centre and had not been allowed out with his other owners, just a wander around the garden and he had never seen other dogs since he left his Mum and brothers.

So we gave him some tips about sniffin dogs you meet for the first time and where it is not good manners to stick your nose until you have been properly introduced!

Manners Holly!

Not that it stopped Holly if she thought she could get away with it!

The rest of the day was rain and more rain.

We went out in the afternoon and started a walk around The Forest but it got so wet we had to go back to the car.

OTL took us back to The Sea Wall but again, half way through the walk, it rained, again!

In the end we went back home, had some chicken, left over from breakfast, and went to sleep in OTL's office, well, it's nice and warm in there!

Holly has seen the tin of 'Doggy Dins' on the work surface in the kitchen, so we know what we've got for dinner tonight, YUK!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Back to work for OTL!

Yo Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again.

The weather has been better today, not so cold and not so wet!

First thing it was blowy and when we went down to Sea Wall we could see the wind blowing the Tide in!

Blowing in the Tide!

Later at lunch time we went down to the carriers to send some of Old Two Legs stuff off. He had been working so hard all morning that in the end I felt sorry for him and gave him a cuddle and an ear lick!

Holly got in the car first and decided she was the one to blow raspberries at all the other car drivers today!

Getting the Raspberries Ready!

When we got to The Forest, OTL tried taking some pictures of a Jay but the Jay had seen him stalking about in the undergrowth and did what all birds do when OTL wants to take their picture, they hide!

Look! I'm Hiding!

Or, they turn their backs on him!

Can you still see me?

We thought it was funny and went off Squirrel Hunting. Holly said she found some fresh squirrel droppings!

Mmmmm Squirrel Droppings!

Sure enough, above our heads, there was the squirrel and it refused to come down to play!

Instead he just stayed on the branch chattering away in 'Squirrel' calling us names!

No! I'm staying up here!

A bit down the path we met up with a bad tempered Husky type of dog, not very old but a bit protective and he threatened to eat us if we got too close to his owner.

No Closer!

So we didn't!

Back home for a snooze before dinner, Chicken & Biscuits, followed by some of OTL's dinner and some from The Missus's plate as well!

I think an early night tonight 'cos it was late by the time we got to bed last night and we over slept this morning!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Wet, Windy and Grumbly Weather!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy and Holly here again!

What a wild day it has been today, wet and windy for most of it! Still, it hasn't stopped us from having some fun.

We went out with Old Two Legs this morning and on the way we saw a Heron trying to cross the road, well fly over the road and the wind was so strong it kept getting blown back!

The Sea Wall was deserted, we think it was just too windy for anyone to be out! Lucky Barney is down in the South of France in the sunshine, I bet he misses our weather!

Windy, Windy, Wet & Windy!

So, we didn't hang about too long and were soon back home enjoying grumbling over a Rawhide Chew!


Around lunch time, the sun came out, so we bullied OTL into going down The Forest again.

As soon as we got there we saw squirrels rushing around the tree tops.

Me Squirrel, You Dopy Dog!

I just couldn't take my eyes off them. I mean, how do those little things hang on to the tree trunks and still run?

Come down here and say that!

Holly said that unless they come down to the ground and give us a chance, then it was not worth bothering to even woof at them!


I am not convinced, one day I will catch one off guard, then let's see what Holly thinks then!

I Sniff Squirrel!

Before long, OTL was back to taking photos of the Bluebells, you would have thought by now he'd have got fed up with the things!

...and Yet Another one!

We were wandering along, just sniffin the trees, looking for anything interesting, like squirrels, when there, up on a log, was this small 'poodley' looking thing. It gave a sort of excited woof and almost jumped on top of me!

Hello Doggies!

It was a dog that obviously didn't get out too much 'cos it then began to run all around Holly and me like a squirrel on fire!

It jumped up in the air, ran off, ran back again and carried on as if it had just found it's long lost sisters!

We just stood there, amazed at his antics!

We had a good laugh about him all the way home in the car. Holly and I sometimes sit on the parcel shelf at the back of the car. Today we did it again, it was good fun and whenever a car came up behind us, we would both look out the back and pull faces at the driver!

After we got home, there was a big storm passed over us, there was lightening and Grumbly Thunder. Holly didn't like the thunder 'cos it sounded just like those nasty Whiz Pop Bang things.

So OTL gave her a cuddle and I licked her nose until she got over it. Then she went and pinched my last bit of Lambs Heart I had been saving from my dinner!

Tomorrow we are going down to see The Boys, 'cos The Missus has got to do some baby sitting after school. So, if we are lucky we may even get a run down by The Lakes, providing it stops raining!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Do we look good or Do We Look Good!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here on a sunny Monday!

We had a bit of a late night last night, Old Two Legs was up playing with his pictures on the computer, so Holly and I had fun pinching each others chews and grumbling at each other!

In the end, OTL gave up on the pictures and put us to bed around midnight!

We had almost forgot, we had to be up early so we can get a walk before going to have our fur done!

So, there we were, seven forty five, off to the Sea Wall. It was a bit blowy and there was still a chill in the air. We chased a couple of rabbits and had fun chasing each other up and down the Sea Wall.

OTL then asked us to pose so he could take a 'Before & After' picture of us.

We didn't really fancy having our picture taken, seeing as how we looked a bit of a Scruff Bag!

OTL kept telling us to 'Sit' and 'Stay', which we did, right up to the moment he got the camera up to his eye, then one of us would stand up or look the other way or run up to him and lick his nose!

No, we Won't Smile for the camera!

You know, we didn't even get our breakfast!

As soon as our walk was finished, off to the Poodle Parlour we went and OTL left us with the lady who gives us our Shampoo & Set!

I won't bore you with the details, but in the end we came out all looking super good and smelling like The Missus's make-up cupboard, PHeeeeeW!

We got home and had our breakfast and a little snooze before telling OTL we wanted our walkies!

We were wandering along, as we do, when a humping big black Labrador came crashing through the bushes and scared Holly so much that she Yelped like I do when I get scared.

The Labrador was called off by his owner, so I stood there and gave him a really loud and long howling sort of Woof!

Me, Doing The Woof!

'Don'tyoucomearoundhereupsettingmysisterlikethatagainorI'lltieyourtailinknotsanduseitforatoothpick!'

I went on for so long that OTL had to put me on my lead so he could keep me quiet!

Well, try to keep me quiet!

We got told to 'sit and stay' again so he could take another picture and this time we kept fidgeting about, as normal!  Poor OTL, he just was not having a good day!

Still being a Fidget!

Back home we spent some time catching up on our snoozing, a girl needs her snoozing time you know, it's not all shampoo and curlers!

Not sure what is on the menu tonight but Holly says it's Lambs Heart and she should know!

See you tomorrow and we may even find some mud to roll in, just to wind OTL up!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Sunday with Old Two Legs

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

The Missus went out good and early this morning, she even pinched our car! We like the small car to go down to the Sea Wall for our morning walk ' cos OTL doesn't mind us not wiping our paws before getting in!

Not today, we had to wipe or paws and then get a 'Kit Inspection' before we were allowed to sit down!

Not that we minded really, well, we can be a bit mucky sometimes if we decide to go paddling in the mud!

Lunch time we took OTL down to The Forest 'cos we wanted to try hunting squirrels again.

Not that we had any luck, not a squirrel to be seen and the bird life kept high in the trees as well.

It wasn't our fault, you see, being Sunday the world and his wife, plus the children were out walking in the woods. Not being interested in squirrels, everyone was running around and making loads of noise!

Of course, that kept all the wild life away from us!

I got so cross with one bunch, I did one of my Big Woofin 'SHUT UP' barks, but they totally ignored me and carried on making a din.

Will you Woofin Shut Up!!!!!

Holly says we should rush over and give them a bite on the leg, at least then they will have something to shout about!

OTL said NO, so we didn't!

I spotted a spider out for his lunch time run on the concrete path and he said that he hadn't seen a squirrel all day and thanks for not treading on him!

No squirrels here!

OTL got fed up with looking for birds and stuff, so he started to look at the flowers to photograph but the wind was blowing too hard, so he soon gave up on them!

We said he should try the tree buds that were bursting, so he did!

New Leaves bursting out of the Buds!

A sure sign the forest is coming back to life again after the Winter!

We have an appointment to have our hair cut tomorrow, so early to bed and early to rise so we can get our morning walk before or Shampoo & Set as OTL calls it!

Bye bye for now.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly (Looking just a little Scraggy Today!)

Back to the Drawing Board for OTL!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again.

We have been sort of lost today, Old Two Legs went off to get his photographs appraised today. He left really early this morning and didn't even take us out for a walk!

It was a good job that The Missus and Auntie Sheila took us or we might have had an 'accident'!

We had some fun down on the Sea Wall and later at lunch time we went over The Fields. We haven't been there for some time and it was interesting catching up on the sniffs and also seeing what is growing this year!

OTL didn't have a good day, it seems that the pictures he took were OK but the processing was not to the standard required on a few of them. As the man pointed out, just one bad one and that blows your chances.

So, it is Back To The Drawing Board for OTL and a bit of work to do on his computer.

Tomorrow TM is off to Ally Pally with all her mates to get loads of card making stuff, so, we will have a super day with OTL. If the weather is OK we want to go down to The Farm 'cos we haven't been there for some time.

Who knows, we may see the Badgers again!

So, sorry there are no pictures today but TM hadn't charged up her batteries for the camera!

See you soon!

Daisy & Holly
