Bambi Burgers!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

What a night we had! First of all we had a cuddle with The Missus on the sofa and watched the TV, boring but better than nothing!

When we got to bed it was great, no Old Two Legs, so that means we can stretch out on his side of the bed and snore our heads off, well Holly did, I got fed up listening to her and went down stairs to sleep on the sofa!

It was strange waking up and not giving OTL a licking to wake up but we will have to make up for it when he gets home!

When we got down to The Sea Wall there were a number of new sniffs, well two actually!

New but not special!

 We shared them but as Holly says, 'Not very exciting!'

It's a sniff but I'm not getting any nearer!

We spoke to Old Two Legs and he was telling us about Alun doing his unpacking when they got there. He was counting out his shirts, five of them for three days. Then there were four pairs of socks, for three days and finally there were two pairs of pants for three days, so one day he will turn a pair inside out and where them again!

You can tell he is ex army!

The snow that OTL was hoping to be on top of the mountains got washed away, so all he has got now is rain and mist!

Bang goes the landscape photographs but he did spot some Bambi's!

They were a bit too big for the car so he says that we will have to go back to Tesco's for our Bambi Burgers!

Bambi Burgers on the Hoof!

 Then as he was taking the picture of the Bambi Burgers, up came a Daddy Burger!

What you doing with my women?

 After that OTL stuck to the Glen and pictures of the mist!

Glen Etive in the mist.

 It was then that OTL told us about the B&B he and Alun were staying at. Now we always thought that B&B was Bed & Breakfast but it seems that they got a 'Bargain Break B&B' and it seems that B&B mean Bed and Bike!

B&B!

 OTL was driving down the Glen and thought he spotted a very big eagle on top of a telegraph pole.

When they got closer they discovered that it was a satellite dish!

You know, OTL didn't take and whisky with him, so we reckon he must have bought some when he got there!

It looks like he is having fun up there!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

OTL's Gone!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here, but not in Scotland!

He sneaked off this morning with Alun just before eight, leaving us with The Missus!

So, first things first, show her the way to The Sea Wall!

With Old Two Legs there is no problem, he knows the way, he also knows where there might be pussy cats we can woof at and other doggies we can woof and shout at and of course, those sheep things that we always woof at, just for fun!

Well, she got lost twice and we had to put her straight, I mean, even we know our left paw from our right and when we said left paw down a bit she didn't know what we meant!

In the end we finally got to the car park and were let out, straight into the sniff of a rat!

Holly and I were off like rockets, leaving TM behind!

Holly was going potty and I was getting very excited as well, TM was getting angry 'cos we didn't take any notice of her, preferring to tear a rat apart than follow her down the path!

It's in here I know it!

After a while we just couldn't stand TM shouting so much, she even scared off the rat!

Fancy a Swim?

Well, after all that shouting there was nothing around we could chase, at least OTL enjoys the chase as well!

Holly was looking over the edge and saw a seagull floating on the tide, 'Hey!' she says, 'Fancy going in for a swim and catching that Sea Chicken?'

As OTL would say, 'The second words OFF!'

Back home for lunch and we then had to settle down to watch Create & Craft 'cos TM's cards were being showed. 

Not that they made a great fuss about them, we think the presenter didn't really understand the technique or the process, but what the heck, TM knows what she is doing!

OTL arrived in Glencoe this evening and we got a phone call from him, talking about Wild Haggis running across the road and throwing lumps of peat at the car and blowing raspberries!

Bet they wouldn't do that if we were there!

One good thing about OTL being away, we get a chance of sleeping on his side of the bed!

Bye bye for now, we're off to mug TM for a nibble or two!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Holly Gets The Grumbles!

Hi Woofers!

It's 'Us Again', Daisy & Holly!

I don't know what it's like where you are but here it's YUK!

We have that misty sort of rain that ends up soaking you through to your skin and the sun has gone back to bed!

We woke up late this morning, well Saturday is for snoozing in bed!

When we went out for our early morning wee, Holly got as far as the door, had a sniff, turned around and went back to bed!

I was right behind her!

When it was time for Old Two Legs to take us out, Holly was not really interested, in fact, she wanted to stay in bed!

The Missus chased her from her three favourite snoozing places,  the sofa on the left, then the sofa on the right and finally, the chair!

All the time she was grumbling!

It took OTL to sit next to her and let her climb onto his lap so he can carry her to the front door!

Talk about having 'The Grumbles'!

Down on The Sea Wall we spotted a couple of fishermen sitting on the beach, OTL called out 'Any Luck?' and back came the answer 'Nah!'

Caught Anything Mister?

Holly was still showing off and she didn't even ask if they got and food!

I don't do Balls, I don't do wet and I don't do Mornings!

I found a ball on the path and OTL kicked it so I could chase after it, Holly said she would pass on the chasing bit!

It was the same at lunch time, misty drizzle rain, so we got back home and snuggled down for a snooze and wait for OTL to return from his trip out.

We've got a visitor tonight, Alun, OTL's cousin who is going to Scotland with him, but we don't know who is looking after who!

Must dash, dinner is almost ready and we got to some serious mugging!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

We Have Got It Sorted!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

It has been a sort of 'Lazy Day' today. We were up good and early but then decided that an extra snooze was called for, so we went back to bed!

That means we were late going out for our morning walk along The Sea Wall.

We spotted a Little Egret having a feed on the mud flats plus there were some Oyster Catchers and a few Curlew as well.

and now, I think a Shrimp will go down well!

 The curlew was more picky about what it ate, preferring the wormy stuff that the Wormy Men dig up, but the Curlew doesn't make so much mess as they do!

Here Wormy, Wormy!

We met up with Oscar, he is a Shih Tzu and all of two years old! At first we bounded up to him doing our 'Hello Woof' but he looked a bit worried.

Don't woof at me I'm a little nervous!

He explained that he had a bad experience with a few Spaniel dogs the other day and it has made him a bit nervous.

That was OK but he wasn't so nervous that it stopped him giving Holly a sniff under her tail and his cold wet nose made her jump!

After saying Bye Bye to Oscar we had a run along The Sea Wall and Holly was trying her Flying Bit again but it was not so good today, I blame the breakfast she had this morning, hers and half of mine!

It's not so easy today!

At lunch time, as we headed back to the car Holly spotted a Wormy Man paddling about in a puddle near the shore, so, we sat and watched him for a while. Holly reckons he was paddling like the Seagulls do when they try to scare the worms to the surface. I said it was more like he was trying to do a dance, The Wormy Two Step?

Splash Splash, Splash!

OTL said that he was just washing his boots, which we agreed it could be possible, but we preferred out explanation 'cos it was funnier!

Now, we've had a long chat with OTL and The Missus and as OTL is going to take the laptop away with him when he goes to Scotland, TM is going to take the photos, email them to OTL and we are going to phone him up and dictate the blog to him while he types it!

Sorted!

Now we are off to mug some shortbread, 'cos he's got the whisky out!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Trying To Learn How To Sneak Up On Squirrels!

Hello Woofers!

It's Daisy & Holly back again!

Old Two Legs has been cleaning all his camera stuff today, getting ready for his Scotland trip!

We're not too sure how this Blog will get published with him in Scotland and us in Kent!

I think we will need to have a word with him before he goes!

No problems this morning, we were up good and early and down to The Sea Wall to catch the Sun Rise. We do get some good sun rises over Sheerness but it's the 'Getting Up Early' to catch them that is the problem!

One thing that always holds us back is Holly, you see, she really is not a 'Morning Puppy'. She would rather stay in bed snoozing until about ten thirty, then go for a walk. Me, I'm up before it's light, waking the rest of the house up and am ready to 'Rock & Roll'!

Mind you, I do like an early night and I will often go up to bed after dinner (OTL's) and only wake up for a wee at ten or so and only then if OTL comes and gets me from my nice warm bed!

One of the things about early mornings is that we can see the Sun Rise, which this morning was rich in colour, but not much of it!

A Sheerness Sun Rise!

Once Holly is up, after much grumbling and showing off, she joins in the games along The Sea Wall and this morning we were practising our 'Flying'.

Holly, being the more 'Rotund' of us two, really has trouble getting off the ground but this morning we had a 'First'!

A Flying Holly Dog!

Holly managed to get off the ground and sail along for a bit. She was dead chuffed about getting off the ground and even OTL clapped his hands after she landed!

Holly reckons that the hair cut we had gave her the edge, just enough 'Streamlining' to overcome the 'Drag Coefficient' that prevented her from getting airborne in the past!

Back home to 'Doggy Scoff' and a snooze in OTL's office before our lunch time run!

We asked OTL if we could go back to The Forest 'cos we wanted to do some serious practise for Squirrel Chasing, bless him, he said 'Yes'!

So there we were, noses up and eyes looking out and what happens? OTL starts clicking away and making a terrible noise scaring off all the squirrels!

First Click!

 So we told him off and started to stalk around in the bracken, when, just as the sniffs were getting strong.......CLICK!

He did it again!

That was it, Holly and I left him and went further into the forest to 'Do our own Thing'!

Snuffle, Snuffle, Squirrel's Been Here!

While we were investigating a sniff, up OTL wanders, bumbling through the forest like a herd of Heferlumps and says 'Here, Look Wot I've seen!'

Another One!

How does he do it?

Holly says it's just luck and he is just lucky where squirrels are concerned, I'm not so sure, maybe he has a stuffed squirrel that he keeps putting on different branches and photographing when we are not looking!

Holly and I started really looking for them, I mean, double headed lookout to start with!

You Look That Way and I'll Look This!

 When that didn't work we went back to tracking by sniffin for them!

Serious Squirrel Sniffin!

That didn't work!

Then OTL spotted a fungi half way up a tree and started snapping away, making more noise and scaring off everything for miles around!

It's Fungi, but Not As We Know It!

We didn't know what this one was and we can't find anything in the book so it may be from Outer Space or Essex!

As we got closer to the gate and the Car Park, OTL was still snapping away at the trees and of course, you know what hides in the trees, other than Birdies?

That's it, Squirrels! So we were keeping a good watch out for any movement made by a nervous squirrel being scared by the camera clicks! OTL was taking his time on this shot 'cos he had to catch the sun bouncing off the tree, or summat!

See The Squirrel?

Well, a very scared squirrel rushed out of the bracken, scared by the noise from OTL's camera. OTL didn't see it 'cos he had the camera up to his eye, but we did!

We flew after the squirrel who made a sharp left hand turn to escape getting caught by us! So we did a hard left hand turn as well, but we bumped into OTL and sent him flying!

There it goes!

As Holly says, 'Oh Dear, What a Shame!'

Maybe OTL will have better luck next time, He, He!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Squirrel Hunting with OTL.

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

It has been quite sunny today, certainly this morning it was getting in our eyes and Old Two Legs was complaining about 'Lens Flair', whatever that is!

As I was sniffin my way along The Sea Wall I could hear Holly singing to herself and it was only when the sun got our of my eyes did I see her dancing along singing 'Do, Do, Do, The Dogtrot'!

Doing The Dogtrot!

 She's always practising that dance, not quite sure what she has planned when she masters it!

OTL was all excited about seeing a Little Egret and a couple of Curlew on the mud flats and he took one picture of them together. Holly said it looked like a 'Egret Sandwich'!

Egret Sandwich!

 I was busy hunting rabbits but I couldn't find even a recent sniff! Not to be outdone, I started to 'Hunt Mouse'!

Hunting Mouses!

 Now these mouses can be real tricky some times. Just when you think you've got one, it runs away through the grass tunnel it has made!

I have tried sneaking up on them and rushing straight at them and finally, jumping down onto them like a fox does!

Jumping like a Fox!

It's no good, I've yet to have any success!

 Some times Holly joins in the hunt and we have great fun jumping all over the place chasing them.

Today, we were mooching along and we both heard a big noise like a 'Big Mouse' would make as it scampers through the grass. So, we both headed into the grass, all big and bold and woofing!

Ooops! Sorry Mister!

 What did we find? A Woofer having a wee!

So we both said we were sorry, backed out and ran off laughing!

Lunch time we got into the car and headed off to town to deliver some stuff and when we finished OTL said we could go for a walk down The Forest, which was great 'cos now we could hunt some squirrel instead of those mouses!

Well, in we went and charged through the bracken and bushes and the first thing we met was a pair of woofers who told us we would never catch a squirrel making that much noise!

A Bit Quieter Please Girls!

 Then he walked over and started to sniff Holly but she was a bit put out by his remarks and turned around and snapped at him.

He jumped back and ran off!

That'll teach him to be so 'Showy Off'!

OTL found some more fungi and was clicking away, so we jumped onto the log and ran up and down watching out for squirrels.

OTL's Fungi

 Then Holly spotted what she said was a squirrel hiding on the ground, just behind a big tree.

Look, behind that tree!

So we both sneaked off into the wood and finally found that the 'Squirrel' was in fact a Wood Pigeon turning over some leaves on the ground!

We didn't tell OTL about the pigeon 'cos he'll only call us names and say things like 'Should have gone to Spec Savers'!

Further around the path we came to the area where we have our best success finding squirrels, so we told OTL that he had to be quiet and to stop clicking the camera!

OTL, Quiet Please!

 We managed to kick up a couple more Wood Pigeons and chased around with no success.

Then OTL called us over and showed us the picture he had just taken!

What's this called?

Can you tell me what's this called, he said, is it a Pigeon?

We just can't stand show offs!

Well, that was it, all he could do from then on was to keep saying, 'Seen Another'!

Then just to rub it in, he would show us a picture!

How does he do it?

Look, Another One!

We were getting really fed up with him, every couple of  steps we got ' Look, Another One!'

So we told him to go back to fungi and trees and leave the squirrels to us!

So, He Did!

A Tree.

Right at the end of our walk, OTL spotted a squirrel on the ground, just about the time I spotted it.

Off I went and I chased it all around the trees and finally it shot up the tree to safety!

Chaaaaarge!

Trouble is, I can't go vertical and so not only do I have to listen to OTL I also left The Forest with the squirrel laughing at me as well!

It just isn't fair, I think I will have to go to climbing lessons and learn how to climb trees!

Back home and a bowl of Lambs Heart will help me forget squirrels, providing OTL keeps his mouth shut!

Fat Chance!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Woofing Good Day

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Last night was a little jumpy for Holly, we were going to take her out in the car if there were too many Whizz Bangs,  but as the evening wore on we decided to lock ourselves in Old Two Legs office and turn the TV on to block out the noises. Holly had a cuddle with OTL then went to sleep on his desk top with her head in his hand!

A Nice Warm Pillow!

After all the Whizz Bangs had finished we went to bed and Holly still wanted a cuddle! She is a big baby really!

Today, no Whizz Bangs and the sun is shining again, so, off to The Sea Wall for a run around and woof at the birds.

Holly said that if she found any more Whizz Bang Bags, she was going to wee on all of them!

Looking for Whizz Bangs to Wee on!

 She never did find any but it was good to see her laughing again after being scared!

OTL was looking for interesting things to photograph but the sun was too strong and too low and all the interesting stuff was still in bed!

I can see another trip down to The Forest coming up if we are lucky!

Hey! OTL! I'm interesting!

Unfortunately, we were sort of unlucky, no Forest walks for us today, instead we went to The New Park!

 We met up with a little Terrier who we have seen before, so to say 'Hello', we all had a 'Group Sniff'

Group Sniffin!

Just as we finished a young pup of a Staffy came bounding up shouting 'Let's Play Chase!' So, we did our normal run around and sniffin and Bella, that's her name, was saying that she didn't get off the lead very often, which was obvious by way she was tearing about all over the park!

Let's play Chase, please!

We left Bella in the 'Training Area' totally ignoring what he owner was saying, which is normal for a youngster!

We still ignore OTL, when the sniff is good enough!

It was good fun running around the park and OTL kept us away from the Swimming Hole 'cos he said that we would be too cold if we went in there and to be honest, we agreed with him this time!

Getting near to the car we met up with a big Alsatian, I mean, he was big, really big and he had a face that wasn't really like Alsatians.

He said his name was Buzz and he used to be a Police Dog but he has now retired from 'The Force'.

My name's Buzz!

Holly asked how did he get the name Buzz? Well, says Buzz, it's because when I was being trained for my job, I would enjoy it so much I was buzzing about all over the place!

He said that he had some serious Wolf DNA and if you look at his ears and muzzle you can see that they are not Alsatian!

We said we were Terriers and had loads of different DNA in us, that's why we are good at Terrierising rabbits and squirrels!

He thought that was funny and wandered off to carry on his walk!

Back home we had to finish off the Doggy Scoff before The Missus would give us our treat, a chew for Holly and a Chicken Fillet for me!

We have yet to mug OTL for his dinner, so claws crossed, he may get some steak tonight!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Monday's Sun Day

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Last night was not as bad as we thought it would be, there were a few Whizz Bangs and Holly got a bit twitchy but she had a cuddle with The Missus and then with Old Two Legs and he put a jumper, which belongs to TM, on top of Holly.

TM and OTL all wrapped around Holly soon calmed her down!

This morning when we went out to The Sea Wall, it was all sunshine and wind!

A bit cold 'cos that wind was coming off the sea but we had a run and a chase and that kept us warm!

Keeping Warm!

We found a load of plastic bags, thrown on the ground and OTL said it was packets which held the Whizz Bangs, so Holly and I did a wee on them, just to get our own back!

As Holly said, 'Pity we didn't get to do that last night, then they wouldn't have been able to light them!'

She is such a Wag that Holly!

Lunch time comes and it is still sunny, so OTL asks if we want a walk, then says, 'The Forest?'

Silly OTL!

In no time we were out of the door and sitting by the car door!

Down The Forest it was a bit quaggy, well, we have had some rain over the last few days!

The first thing that happens as we get through the gate was a meeting with George and Cyril, who we met some time ago.

 We get on well with them 'cos they are the same size as us!

Up there, on the left, two sniffs and another a bit further on!

They told us of some good sniffs and off we went!

I was really interested in squirrels, so, I climbed up on a fallen tree and had a good scout around.

Here, Squirrel Squirrels!

 I didn't see any!

OTL was doing his favourite thing, hunting fungi!

OTL's First Fungi!

 Holly and I were hunting sniffs and there were some interesting ones around the back of the pond.

OTL said it looked super with the colours of fallen leaves and the pond reflection as well!

Autumn's here!

 OTL found some fungi on a rotting tree and when the sun shone through the trees it made the colours really stand out! So, he got down on his knees and started to photo the fungi.

That was OK until Holly said she wanted to get in the photo as well!

This is my Best Side!

Then we found a very big fungi growing out the side of a fallen log thing that was rotting away. OTL didn't know what the fungi was called but said he will look it up in his new book when he gets home!

Strange looking one this!

 He was getting all excited 'cos he found another under some bracken, well, Holly and I were getting a bit fed up with all this fungi stuff, so we told him that now it was time to Hunt Squirrel!

Last of the days fungi!

 Holly and I hunted all over the place, we searched the bushes and the trees and the leaves on the ground then we stood on a log and kept very quiet and waited for squirrel noises!

I can't hear a thing!

OTL says that there was one over the back of us but we told him we had looked there and we couldn't see any at all.

He insisted there was one there and to prove it he would take a photo!

Yer, Right, off he went doing his Hunting Walk and clicked off a couple of shots.

Beginners Luck!

We will never hear the end of this, he spots one and we don't!

Oh! The Shame of it all!

OTL finds a squirrel while we look the other way watching leaves falling down to the ground!

Back home he kept telling TM about him finding the squirrel and us looking the wrong way, it's just not fair!

Tonight we may have to take Holly out for a drive in the big car, it all depends on how many Whizz Bangs there are going off around our area. Claws crossed it will be to cold for everyone to stand in the garden setting fire to piles of leaves and sticks!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly & OTL (Squirrel Hunter!)
