Back to Work!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here with you again!

Today we have been making up for our day off yesterday.

Work, work, work!

First of all we were doing our 'Guarding' last night, all that marching about the house making sure there was no one creeping into the house while Old Two Legs and The Missus was asleep!

Then there was the checking of OTL's work he has been doing on the computer, making sure he gets all the figures in the correct boxes!

We went out this morning along The Sea Wall and said hello to the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant and noted the subtle change in the shape of the new blooms!

A Paint Brush?

Holly says it looks like a paint brush and OTL said it reminds him of a shaving brush, which had us puzzled 'cos we don't understand how you can have a shave with a brush!

There was Mr and Mrs Corvid looking for breakfast and we woofed 'Good Morning' but they seemed too busy for a chat!

Busy, Busy!

I found an interesting sniff from one of the dogs we sometimes meet but I just could not work out how it got so far up the grass, I mean, it was a bit of a stretch for me just to sniff, never mind weeing that high!

How'd he get it right up here?

Then OTL spotted some insects and started taking photos again. The insects were rather put out as they think he is one of the Paparazzi the way he keep taking their picture!

Watch out! The Paparazzi are back!

 Back home Holly spent the morning by the side of the pond, she said she was practising for our Summer Holiday where she was going to be The Poolside Babe!

Poolside Babe!

Lunchtime, we went for a walk down to the New Park again. As soon as OTL let us off the lead I was steaming along the path that led to the Swimming Hole!

A Speck in the distance!

There were loads of dogs down there and although I had a bit of a 'Deep Paddle', OTL didn't throw the ball out for me 'cos he said that he would have trouble getting it off the other dogs!

I suppose he was right but at least I did get a dip!

Busy!

We carried on our walk and ended up in the Tee Pee. Holly spotted a couple of very big Alsatian dogs walking our way and she said we should wait until they got closer then we could surprise them with our woofing.

Surprise Surprise!

As I said.........................Your on your own Sister!

Back home we had Lambs Heart and Liver for breakfast and I had left some in my bowl, so it was a quick nibble to finish it off before mugging OTL for some of his dinner!

You see, we are very helpful when it comes to food!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Funny Old Day!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here.

Today has been strange, well, sort of, 'Not Our Day'.

Let me explain.

We went out for our normal stroll along The Sea Wall and Old Two Legs didn't even take his camera!

Holly said that he wasn't feeling very well and couldn't even be bothered with taking photos of us!

Now that is bad!

We got home and were bundled into the Big Car, together with his camera box and some other bits.

Off we went and I must admit, we both fell asleep until we got close to Auntie Zoe's place.

We knew it was close 'cos they got a funny sniff of Posh Squirrels as you get close!

Well, we got locked into the kitchen with just a baby gate to keep us in. We said 'Hello to to The Lads and Megan, who we had not met before. She smelt of milk and wee and didn't say much but she is very small and young as well, so we let her off this time!

She will get better once she can sit up on her own!

OTL spent all the time taking photos of Zoe & Paul and The Lads & Megan!

We were almost ignored all day, except when The Missus took us out for a walk or when we got fed!

Still, we are back home now and after a cuddle with OTL and a late night chew of our Rawhide chews, were just about ready for bed!

Bye bye for now and see you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

P.S.  Don't tell Zoe, but we have sneaked a preview of a couple of the pictures, what do you think?

Splashing about!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

It started out looking a bit gloomy today, you know, all clouds and no sun shine.

We went out with Old Two Legs for our walk along The Sea Wall and Holly suddenly stopped and asked, 'Can there be two of me?' OTL started on about a parallel universe and a doppelgänger, which we didn't understand at all. 'Well' said Holly, 'It's just that I can sniff me here and we have only just arrived, so how can I be here before I got here, if you know what I mean?'

OTL laughed and said, 'Don't you remember, that's where you had a pee yesterday!'

Here, I can sniff Me!!!

Oh yes says Holly, I'd forgotten that wee!

 All of a sudden we were overtaken by a young Staffy, all of four months old, 'Hello Ladies' he said, 'My name is Diesel and I'm having a super time!'

This is a Super Walk!

We had a little chase and a sniff before he got called away by his owners and we went back to hunting Rabbits!

We went with OTL to the carriers after lunch and then off to the New Park again. Now, the last time we were here, OTL led us away from the swimming hole, well, I was not going to have that this time! Off I went, well ahead of OTL and Holly and before long I landed at The Swimming Hole!

Holly arrived a little later, then OTL. By then, Holly and me were having a bit of a paddle.

Don't go too far, it gets deep out there!

OTL got the ball out and tossed it into the water for us to get, well me really 'cos Holly doesn't do swimming or getting any deeper than her knees!

Well, I still think you are Potty!

I was getting all brave and even had my back paws off the bottom and swimming on my front paws!

Look! Back legs up!

I was getting all big and brave, I was even rushing into the water and making a big splash as I was chasing the ball when OTL tossed it into the water!

Geronimo!!!!

What I didn't see was the two big dogs that wanted to play with my ball, there I was waiting for the wind to blow the ball back towards me when there was an almighty great splash and the ball and me disappeared in the foam!

What the..............................!

They were taking turns to jump off the bridge to get the ball that OTL threw for them and all he would say was ....'Look! That's how to do it!'

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

As Holly said, 'If he wants to make a splash, he can jump in himself!'

After a while the other dogs went off. It was just after OTL put the wet ball into his pocket and told the two dogs that it had 'Gone!'

Aw! I know you got it!

I had a good time running into the water and swimming out to get the ball but I did keep some paws on the bottom!

Got It!!

Then I'd bring it back and put it down for OTL to throw again!

Throw it again!

There was one time when he threw it out and as normal, it was too far for me, when this old Labrador paddled in and said 'I'll get it for you youngster!', I didn't have the heart to say that it would come back to me as the wind blew!

I'll get it for you!

OTL took us for a walk through the grass and threw the ball for me to chase, just to try to get me dried off, but it didn't work, I was still all damp by the time we got to the car park. We think it must be something to do with the rain that fell on us as we ran back to the car!

Back home for a good rub down with our towel and  then a chance to mug OTL for some of his dinner.

Now we are about to settle down to a cuddle and a good chew of our Chicken and Rice Chew!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

We love Mondays!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

We love Mondays, everyone goes off to work and we get loads more space on The Sea Wall and in the parks!

Today we went down for our normal walk along The Sea Wall and we only saw four dogs and that was only for a moment or two, a quick woof and a sniff and they were gone!

Hey Girl, get a sniff of this!

That was OK with us, we were more interested in Rabbit Sniffin!

Old Two Legs was busy trying to photograph the insects again and he even had a bash at a Meadow Brown that insisting on landing on the Sea Wall!

I'm a Sea Butterfly really!

It was pretty daft, I mean, there are no flowers on the Sea Wall for it to feed on!

Can you see me?

On top of that, it did sort of stand out against the concrete!

It was fun when OTL started to take pictures of the insects, you could hear them calling  'He's here again!'

You Again!

Lunch time OTL took us out in the big car, he had some stuff to deliver and afterwards we went to the New Park!

It was great, OTL threw the ball for me and I lost it, again!

We met up with a few dogs we had met before.

I know you!

OTL was going potty with the insects and found some Green Bugs running around a bloom!

I'm catching you!

Then he saw a Hover Fly having a rest between blooms!

Having a rest!

Holly was keeping a close look out for rabbits and kept jumping up on every seat to get a better view!

I think I see a Rabbit!

Although she said she saw them, she never actually got around to chasing one that I could see!

However, we did see a Kestrel sitting on the path and OTL got a couple of shots.

Kestrel having a rest on the path.

 Before he could get any closer, Holly gave the 'Charge!' command and we both went steaming after the bird!

The Chase!

Trouble was, we found out it's quicker than a Rabbit!

As we headed back to the car, we told OTL he couldn't hang about taking pictures of more insects 'cos we were thirsty and also wanted a sleep 'cos we were tired!

It was a good job he had water and  our travelling bowl in the car!

Back home to a snooze and a chance to mug OTL for some of his dinner, wonder what it is tonight?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Dancing between the showers!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

It has been a day of showers and cloud!

We were out this morning walking along The Sea Wall and although it wasn't raining it was getting close!

Old Two Legs was waving the camera about and pointed out that is was very clear weather conditions and he could see the wind turbines and the Thames Forts in the distance!

We can see for miles!

You know, it was that damp, OTL started taking pictures of the rain drops!

Rain Drops

Now that has just got to be desperation creeping in!

Back home we had a snooze after breakfast then Holly decided that we were being attacked by puppy eating monsters, so she and I raced around the garden woofing and snarling and growling until Holly gave the 'All Clear'!

The F1 racing was good, except that Jenson or Lewis didn't win but it was a good race and no rain!

The lunch time walk was fun, we jumped from the car and went chasing after the family of rabbits that live close to the car park. We chased them all through the bushes and then the undergrowth, it was a bit of bad luck that I missed getting one that had a bad leg and was limping towards the rabbit hole and fell in just as I arrived, running at 100mph!

OTL was busy photographing a couple of bugs on the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant.

Bugs on the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant!

 Holly started to bark, then she went into 'Serious Bark' then into 'I am really going to get upset Bark', so, OTL had to give up with the bugs and find out what she was doing.

There she was, standing on the side of The Sea Wall, woofing at a couple of Two Legs who were sitting on the wall preventing her from walking along the wall as she normally does!


Woof, WOof, WOOf, WOOF!

OTL shouted 'Enough', which is the sign that he wants us to stop woofing, Holly was just about to woof again but she turned her head towards OTL, took one step forward........and fell off The Sea Wall onto the beach!

Everyone laughed, except Holly, who looked most put out!

A bit further along the beach we saw another Two Legs sitting on the beach taking pictures of the sea, nothing else, just the sea, and he was playing with glass filters, like wot OTL does when he wants to get all 'Posh'.

Smile!

Holly didn't woof at him 'cos the sea was close and she didn't want to fall in there!

Then it was back to the insects for OTL, the wind was blowing and the flowers were waving about all over the place, so the bugs had to hang on tightly!

Wot you doing Mr?

 OTL had the same problem with a fly who was wandering around a flower sneezing, except the fly was trying to eat the nectar but the pollen kept of getting up his nose, so he was sneezing!

OTL asked if he could hang about while he took a photo but the fly seemed more interested in trying to find his hanky so he could blow his nose!

WhaaaaaaaChoooooooo!

Back home before it rained again and settle down to a snooze before mugging OTL for some of his dinner!

Next week it is going to be busy, OTL has got a load to do, AND we are off to the Kent County Show on Friday!

Loads of sniffs there!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Sun Shine? Wot Sun Shine!

Yo Ho Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

Wot a Saturday!

We were up good and early this morning, we could sniff the rain in the air, so we wanted Old Two Legs to get us out earlier than normal. It didn't work, he got up late!

In fact it was so late that the rain passed over us and we went out when it had finished rather than before it started!

Back home to some breakfast and a snooze before the F1 Qualifying.

What a wash out!

To tell the truth, we got so bored, we chased OTL out of the house for our midday walk along The Sea Wall!

OTL spotted there was a new bloom about to burst on the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant, so he took a shot of it, we think it looks a bit strange and unless we told you what it was I don't suppose you would have guessed it was a budding bloom!

A Baby Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant

OTL was walking along the beach with me but Holly decided she would stay on top of the wall and every so often she would sit down and ask..................

are we there yet?

She said she was practising for when we go on holiday!

OTL and I had a laugh about that and I said that it would be The Missus who would be asking that question!

Flushed with success, OTL spotted another flower and got all arty again.

Looking down the middle of a bloom.

I don't know what the flower is called and OTL says he used to call them Fairy Trumpets!

Then he spotted some movement on the plant next to him and took this picture.

Spider on a prickly plant.

We were getting a bit fed up with this photo lark, so we went chasing rabbits and foxes!

Once we got to the top of the hill, we saw a cruise ship going up the Thames, Holly said that if all the people on board would get onto the deck, then all together shout.......'are we there yet' then it would sound just like a fog horn!

All together now.............'are we there yet?'

She gets some strange idea's sometimes!

See you tomorrow, if the rain doesn't wash us all away!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Fun Friday

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here again!

We have seen some newish things today including a dead Mole!

We were out with Old Two Legs and he had taken us on a path behind all the trees and overlooking a reed bed. We think he was looking for dragonflies and stuff like that.

Well the first thing we came across was a pile of feathers, so that means the Sparrow hawk has been active. Then we spotted the dead mole. It must had died during the night but we couldn't work out what it had died of!

One Dead Mole!

OTL said we should leave it along 'cos it may have died of a terrible affliction that was bad for dogs!

So, we left it alone!

Next we looked at the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant and noticed it had yet another bloom open this morning, so, OTL just couldn't resist!

Another Bloom!

Then we met up with Barney, he was having a good time chasing his ball. While OTL and his owner were having a chat, Barney dropped his ball at her feet expecting her or OTL to throw it for him,  but this time it rolled off the path and headed towards the mud.

Barney was told to go and fetch it but he said that if he got his paws muddy he would be in trouble, so, if his owner wanted the ball, she can get it her self!

Getting Barney's Ball!

That Barney can be so masterful sometimes!

Next we spotted this super looking snail with a super swirly shell. OTL tried to take a photo but he couldn't get the camera low enough to get a good shot.

Pretty but not good enough!

So, OTL picked up the snail and sat it on the top step. Now that was OK but the snail was so frightened by the 'Flying Through The Air' bit that it refused to come out of it's shell and smile for the camera!

No I'm not coming out again!

Not that we blamed him!

Tomorrow we hope to get a bit bird watching, in if it stops raining!

If not, then it's all sit down and watch the F1 qualifying at Silverstone. Holly says that this year they will be using rowing boats instead of cars if it keep raining!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Super Sunny Lazy Day

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

It has been a super summer type of day today, we were out for our walk this morning and the breeze was blowing gently from across the water. We could sniff the Bacon and Eggs being cooked in the Greasy Spoon cafe on Southend Sea Front or maybe it was Herne Bay!

Old Two Legs took some more pictures of the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant 'cos the blooms now seem only to last a couple of days before they start to fade!

Another Bloom on the Spiky Leaf Sort of Thistle Type of Plant!

We saw Mr & Mrs Corvid having breakfast on The Sea Wall and went rushing up to see what they were eating, they thought we were going to take it away from them, so the flew down to the break water to finish it off!

A Moving Breakfast!

We called out to them to share it with us but they only laughed at us and carried on feasting!

Mmmmm!

A bit further along we met up with Barney who said he was almost worn out! He had been chasing all over the place and on the beach and in the sea weed. In fact you could see from his face that he had been in amongst the weeds!

Feeling a bit Grubby!

He said he felt a bit Grubby, Grubby? We said he didn't know what Grubby was, and then we proceeded to tell him about the Super Sniff and our rolling in it and subsequent bath!

He did laugh when we told him that OTL was keeping a very close eye on us!

Back home to some Doggy Scoff for breakfast and then a snooze by the side of the pond before going for our lunch time walk!

Pool Side Puppy!

We went out again and OTL was off looking for insects and stuff like that, we were after the sea side sniffs!

This Small Skipper or Thymelicus sylvestris, if you want to sound posh, was sitting on one of Holly's Whizz Bang plants and although OTL had got the right camera and the right lens, he could do nothing about the wrong wind!

The butterfly had landed on the flower but was being blown all over the place! Poor OTL just couldn't get the focus and depth of field correct. When he got one right the other was so far out that the picture looked horrid!

Next time a tripod and no wind please!

All that wind was blowing the sea up the beach and as it was high tide OTL got some good pictures of the waves breaking on the Sea Wall.

Splash!

He really wasn't this close!

Another Splash!

OTL said that we should stand on top of the steps so he can take our photo when the wave splashed up!

A Big Splash!

As we said, In your Dreams!

On the way back to the car we spotted some more insects on a bloom, so, OTL just had to take a picture. Trouble is, we are not sure what they were doing, OTL said they were playing 'Piggy Back', Holly didn't believe him!

Piggy Back Games?

The rest of the day we spent lazing by the pond, snoozing and going back in for a drink then snoozing again!

It's a hard life being a puppy you know!

See you tomorrow and don't forget, it's Friday!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
