Sandy Beaches, Baby Rabbits and Flappy Things!

Yo Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back on Day Four of our holiday!

Last night it rained and it rained and it woke us up! So, we woke Old Two Legs up with a Big Lick on The Ear!

Then, just to make sure, we did the same to The Missus!

We had our walk around the field with OTL and guess what, we found a rabbit warren with babies in it!

We were having our normal sniff and a wee when we came across this up turned trough that the sheep get their sheep pellet supplements from.

We had a sniff and got a strong scent of Rabbit! In fact it was a massive sniff of rabbit, loads of rabbit with little bits of rabbit!

OTL decided to have a look at what we were going potty about, and he lifted edge of the feeding trough and saw a 'Nest' of baby rabbits! They were all hairy and were very young! We wanted to have a game with them, you know, 'Chase' and 'Bite Your Tail'!

OTL put the trough back PDQ and told us to move away 'cos we might upset them or their mother if she was close!

As if we would scare a Rabbit!

So, for the rest of the day, I kept on whimpering to go out for a wee and headed straight towards the baby rabbits!

In the end, we got told off for whimpering and whining!

OTL took us out at lunch time and we went down the sandy beach again, we ran up and down the beach but because the tide was in, there was not too much sand!

Narrow Bit of Sandy Beach!

We saw in the distance some 'Flappy Birds' as Holly called them. Holly was not too sure about these Flappy things and she stayed close to OTL!

Look! Flappy Birdy Things!

Then we saw a 'Real Bird' hovering over the dunes and Holly said she didn't mind real birds, it was the other things she was not too happy with!

A Real Flappy Bird!

Then we came across some 'Flappy Birds' on the ground and they had stones on them to stop them flying away! Holly said we had better not tell OTL about that or he may use that on us when he gets fed up saying 'Sit' and 'Stay'!

Sit and Stay!

We saw one Two Legs having a fight with his 'Flappy Bird' 'cos it wouldn't fly but rather wanted to sit on the ground all day!

Sit Down!

 It was fun watching them trying to control the 'Flappy Birds' mind you, they did look all pretty in their bright colours!

Bright Colours!

Finally one fell to the ground and wouldn't get up again, so the Two Legs had to go and pick it up!

Get Up Flappy Bird Thingy!

The afternoon has been fun, mugging OTL for some nibbles and then getting TM to take us out to the field to say 'Hello' to the rabbits, trouble was, she wouldn't let us near the rabbits!

So we showed off!

This evening we are going to mug OTL for the last of his shortbread and maybe even some of his Cheese Straws!

Tomorrow we are heading home, so, look out for us on the road woofing at the truck drivers!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Soggy Sand and a Sphinx!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

What a night! It seemed to rain all night long, every time I woke up to shove Old Two Legs over a bit, it was still raining!

What makes us laugh so much is, there is still a hose pipe ban!

We woke up this morning and The Missus took us for a wander around the field, just to say 'Good Morning ' to the sheep and lambs.

We got back to the caravan only to find that OTL was getting all his camera gear together, Great, we thought, we are off for an adventure to chase birdies!

No such luck! We were bundled into the caravan and OTL waved Bye bye and headed off to Dungeness RSPB (They don't like dogs there).

I was distraught! I cried and Holly whimpered and we both showed off a lot!

OTL didn't stay out too long because it was not so good for birds 'cos it was wet and damp and the birds stayed in the bushes to keep dry and warm!

All he got was a shot of a Cormorant trying to keep dry and a Reed Warbler looking for some food for its young in the nest.

Wet, innit?

Now, where is that Warbler?

I'm Here!

Back came OTL, (via the Supermarket) and he arrived with some treats for us and a bottle of bubbly for TM, (She likes that stuff)!

Then OTL says, 'Walk?'.........stupid question!

Off we went to the beach and the tide was right out, in fact it was so far out that we couldn't even see it!

OK, Where is the Sea?

We had a game a of chase and a dig. Then we had another run and another dig!

Catch me if you can!

We had to wander through soggy sand 'cos the rain was falling and the sand was all wet and soggy!

Gotcha!

Maybe when the weather get better we will have more sand to throw about and dig in!

It's too wet to dig properly!

Then Holly came up with an idea, 'I'm going to be a Sphinx' she said, 'All sort of enigmatic and sort of serene'.

Look, I'm a Sphinx!

 I said she looks like a pile of elephant poo!

 That's when the fight started!

Back to the caravan to watch a load of boats going up stream on the Thames then dinner!

We are looking forward to a gentle cuddle with OTL and a chance to mug him for some shortbread!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Day Two!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here in Cloudy Romney Marsh Land!

We have had a super day today, first of all we had a good nights sleep, well, after we shoved The Missus ans Old Two Legs over to the side of the bed, just so we could stretch out!

We all over slept and didn't wake up until eight fifteen!

We had fun chasing each other around the field while OTL got the water for the caravan. After breakfast we were off with OTL down to the beach!

It was just great to be on the sandy beach again, even if the tide was in! The top of the beach was still all sandy, so we ran and dug holes and rolled in smellies and woofed at the kite flyer's!

We started of with a combined Hole digging exercise!

All Together..........Dig!

Then it was 'Roll in a Smelly Time'!

Rolling in a Really Good Smelly!

Woofing at Kite People was fun, we would creep up behind them and go WOOF!

Then they go OOOO AAAAR, then they pull on the wrong string and the kite crashes into the sand!

Kite people to woof at!

Then we chased OTL along the sand but he is not very fast, well, no where near as fast as us!

Chasing OTL in the Dunes!

We went over the dunes and slid down the sides, then we dug some more holes and rolled in even more smellies and one even tasted YUK!

This tastes Yucky!

OTL was laughing at us so much that he didn't even tell us off for rolling in the smellies!

At lunch time we had visitors, The Boys, they had come down for a drive and to show off their new car. This one had no roof which means you can enjoy 'Speed Sniffin' and still keep the windows up!

Off to get cold again!

Holly said that she was sorry that they couldn't afford to buy a whole car with a roof 'cos when it rains they will get wet and even if it doesn't rain, it must be cold in the back!

The clouds have been building up this evening, so we may get wet when we go out for our wander before bed!

Tomorrow, if it doesn't rain too much, OTL says he is going to sneak off to the RSPB site to see what he can see.

Without us!

That is the last time he gets a cuddle this holiday!

See you tomorrow fans!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

We're Here!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here in 'Sunny'? Romney Marsh!

It has been a bit of a rush around today and we are whacked!

This morning we went for our morning walk along The Sea Wall with Old Two Legs and the sun was shining and it was a gentle breeze blowing off the sea.

Walking the Walk and Sniffin the Sniffs!

 And of course I was there.........

Sniffin the Sniffs and Walking the Walk!

Back home The Missus was packing the last stuff into the caravan ready to go away.

There was our Choc Drops and Teeth Cleaning Chews plus some Pigs Ears and Chicken Fillets and our Chicken & Rice Chews. Not to mention our frozen Chicken Legs and some Lambs Heart. Then of course our Doggy Towels and Beds and Blanket, not forgetting Hollies Puppy Toy (she takes it to bed every night!) Our food bowls and drinking bowls, then of course US!

We sat in the car while OTL hitched the caravan up and off we went!

It was fun driving along with my nose out of the window, loads of strange sniffs all at fifty miles an hour! Speed Sniffin on the motorway!

We arrived on the caravan site about two thirty and of course, the first thing we did was to check the place out! Holly and I took TM for a walk around the field to get up to date on the sniffs and say 'Hello' to the sheep and lambs. The lambs had certainly put on a bit of weight since we last saw them and they were all eating grass now!

OTL got the caravan all set up and the electricity connected. We got back from our walk and decided to have a snooze. OTL wandered off to get water and Holly and I decided we wanted to go with him, so TM let us off the lead and we had a great time chasing each other around the field and woofing at OTL!

Just as we got all settled down the clouds came over and it started to rain! Now this is not on! We didn't come all this way to sit in the caravan watching the raindrops run down the window, so we woofed at the clouds and told them where to go!

Us in the caravan!

Let's hope they soon clear off 'cos we have sniffed some interesting sniffs that seem to come from the field across the road, so tomorrow morning we hope to get over there and investigate.

Plus, there is the sandy beach and the holes we got to dig, I mean, we can't do that if it rains!

I don't do Rain!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Lazy Day for us.

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

Today has been one of those, 'Lazy Days', you know the sort, nothing planned and not really inclined to do anything anyway 'cos having a lay down in the garden is a much better idea than doing something energetic!

Our walk along The Sea Wall was, 'Gentle', no running or woofing or fighting or getting lost!

There was one owner with a dog, sitting on the beach, waiting for the boats to come along for the big flotilla that is planned for the weekend, but there was nothing in sight, just like yesterday. So he's got a long wait!

Old Two Legs had a look at the works email and decided that working inside was not very exciting or profitable, so, out he went into the garden to carry on with the 'Pond'!

Getting There!

He has finished going down and is now going 'Sideways' to get rid of the grass and weeds. The plastic sheet is to stop any more grass growing where he has  dug up the grass roots.

Poor OTL, working away at digging up grass roots and pulling up the weeds, we felt exhausted just watching him!

There were a load of twigs on the ground and we wondered where they came from?

Little Twigs from????

Holly spotted a couple of Collared Doves having a cuddle on a wall bracket. They must have been trying to build a nest but the twigs keep falling off the bracket, do you think that's where you get the saying  'Bird Brain' from?

I said I wanted Twigs, not a Cuddle!

We let OTL back in the house for lunch at twelve thirty and then out for a walk at one!

Again we went to The Sea Wall and this time we went up to where they have got the sand hills. We didn't dig any holes but it was fun running up and down the hills!

Skiing down a Sand Hill!

We saw some ships passing and there was one that was very smoky, Holly said that it must be burning old rubber tyres!

S.S. Smoky Sid!

We have got to get all our holiday stuff packed tonight 'cos we are off tomorrow for a few days away in the caravan, let's hope the rain stays away!

Holly and I plan to have a good run on the sandy beach and dig some 'BIG' holes, bigger than OTL's pond!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

My Never Ending Battle with Old Two Legs!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Wot a 'Hot Day' today! We went for our normal walk along the sea Wall and we didn't see anyone or any thing! 

Out to sea there were no ships.

We See No Ships!

So we had a walk on the beach and then the sea wall path and.........Nuffin!

We Still See Nuffin!

The only excitement was when Holly saw a rabbit under the bushes and started her run up.

Getting Closer!

She was almost up to the rabbit before it decided that it may be a good thing to go back to bed!

Nearly There!

One day Holly will get to the rabbit, but then what? Will she just stop and say Good Morning?

Old Two Legs gave me a brush this morning and as I lay on my side with him gently brushing my shoulder and side all the way down to my tail, I slowly closed my eyes and sort of drifted off, as I normally do.

Then my whiskers began to twitch, something was not right, I opened my eye to see Old Two Legs holding the bottle of eye drops in his other hand!

That was it!

I was all awake and on guard, no eye drops for me, nasty things!

Then OTL put the bottle down and picked me gently up in his arms and carried me upstairs. This is a bit strange 'cos after a brush I normally get breakfast.

I was put down on the bed and covered over with the duvet, then rolled over twice!

Wrapped up in the duvet, with just my head sticking out, The Missus appeared and squirted some drops into my eye!

Sneaky SNeaky SNEAKY OTL!

Mine you, my eye is not as sore as it was, but that's no excuse!

To try and get on my good side, OTL took Holly and me to The New Park, great fun in the Swimming Hole. 

Nearly Got It!

I nearly lost my ball, until a big old Labrador came and got it for me!

Hey! Get Me Ball Mister?

We saw a mallard mother with her youngsters paddling about in the swimming hole and one dog got too close, so she attacked him!

A Dive Bombing Mummy Mallard!

Baby Mallard doing a Fast Exit!

While she was doing that her ducklings sort of ran on top of the water to get away from danger, I wish I could do that! Especially when OTL wants to put drops in my eye!

We could have some more fun tonight when he gets the drops out!

I'll let you know tomorrow!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Nest Building!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

What another super sunny day, we have been out with Old Two Legs, having a walk along The Sea Wall this morning.

Even Holly said it was good fun!

This is Fun!

We heard a Nightingale singing it's head off and Holly tried to whistle the song as well. Well, it sounded more like thunder than a song and OTL asked why Holly was blowing raspberries!

We met up with Mr Corvid who was out looking for breakfast.

Seen any good whelks lately?

After we got back, OTL tried to get some more eye drops in my eye, in the end he had to trick me by pretending he was going to wipe my eye with an eye cleaning pad but squirted the eye drops instead!

Sneaky, that's what he is!

Lunchtime we went out for a walk along the old Sea Wall and found loads of smelly bits to roll in!

I found a Smelly!

Poor OTL got cross with us and threatened to put us both in the shower when we got home, not that his threats were anything to worry us about! We kept rolling in Smelly's and chewing on goose poo!

Daisy in the Daisy's!

Holly thought it was funny when I crouched down and said I was hiding in the Daisy's!

We raced down to the other end of the water and I went in collecting sticks, I said I was going to build a nest, just like the swans do, all made from twigs and reed stalks!

Looking for twigs.

First of all you have to find the twigs, so off I went for some 'Deep Paddling' to get the twigs and reeds.

Holly said she would stand guard to stop any Geese or Swans pinching my nest material!

Hey! Gottany Spare Twigs?

 You know I spent a good ten minutes looking for twigs and bringing them back to the shore.

and another twig!

I must say that it got a bit boring, all that backwards and forwards collecting one twig at a time!

Then I spotted Holly, picking up my twigs and throwing them back into the water, so, I was picking up the same twig and bringing it back and she was throwing it out again!

It was then that the fight started!

I chased that Porky Puppy all over the place and twisted her tail as a punishment!

Gotcha!

Back home again for an afternoon snooze and OTL had more fun getting a drop of eye stuff into my eye!

I think that we both will be glad when the last drop comes out of the bottle!

Off for a chicken dinner now, so bye bye and see you again tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Thunder and Sun Shine!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

What a day I've had!

First of all we had a run on The Sea Wall, super sun shine, blue sky and balmy breezes!

We met up with Bella who wanted to have a run around type of game.

Hey! Wanna Play Chase?

So we had a chase around, which was good fun 'cos Bella is about our size so we were not intimidated!

Then Bella showed us some of her 'Tricks'. The best one was...............

Look! I can play Dead!

Why she would want to play dead was beyond us, Holly said that maybe her owners taught her that just to keep her quiet sometimes!

Shortly after we left her we heard 'It's Meeeeeeee!'

Here comes Barney!

We had a good game with Barney, we chased the ball and Old Two Legs kept on throwing it for us. Once I even got it and ran back to OTL with it, just like a retriever type dog!

Look! I Got It First!

OTL kept throwing the ball and we were back and forwards with it, having a good time. The only problem was, it was just TOO HOT!

In the end we just had to have a lay down for a breather, Barney more than us needed a rest!

No Please, Please No More, I'm Bushed!

Now that was a first, Barney almost worn out!

After leaving Barney we went back to the car and off to The Vet!

The vet had a look at my eye and decided it was an infection rather than a scratch or bit of plant seed like last time.

This vet was the same one that stuck that big drain pipe of a needle in me when I got 'Chipped', so, I wasn't having him near me!

OTL had to hold me still and have a look in my eye while the vet looked at the same time.

He had to put some drops into my eye and it took OTL to hold me and a nurse to hold my head before any drops went into my eye!

Pretty soon we were out of there, OTL put us in the car and went back to pay the bill.

He came out with a small bottle of eye drops for me and a vet bill in the other hand and yes, he was crying!

He had to put two of these drops in my eye four times a day, they are cold and I do squirm a bit but they go in in the end!

This afternoon we went down to The Forest again and had a walk around looking for squirrels but all we saw was this rook, looking all mean and Showy Off!

Who Are You Looking At?

Late this afternoon we went with OTL down to the town to post off some stuff for his customers. It changed from sun shine to dark clouds and then there started all this flashing and banging. OTL said it was a thunder storm but Holly said it was more like those nasty 'Flash Bangs' that scare her. So she sat on the arm rest and cuddled up to OTL's shoulder, just to feel safe!

We are off for an early night 'cos tomorrow OTL has a busy day and he says he needs his 'Beauty Sleep' but we think he is joking 'cos it will take more that a good sleep to sort him out!

Any way, he has to try to get the drops in my eye!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
