Lazy Lazy Sunday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

We just love Sundays, there is no rush and tear about, it's all just smooth and lazy!

After coming back from our walk and getting some chicken breakfast, I just crashed out again in my day bed that I keep in Old Two Legs office.

Sunday Snoozing!

We had been out for our normal morning ramble along The Sea Wall and we even found the fishermen on the beach again. I said that I would carry on telling him about about TM and the ink and Splodging and stuff but he said he was half asleep and needed a little snooze first, so I left him alone and carried on with our 'Sniff Patrol'!

Fisherman making notes on Splodging!

 They did look funny, all hiding in their umbrellas underneath the Sea Wall!

Hiding from the wind!

 So, off we went searching out the sniffs, some were new and others were getting a bit stale!

Nothing new here!

Holly has got a good nose for sniffs and pretty soon found some new sniffs that were fresh!

Mmm! This is new!

 In fact at one time she got so interested in a sniff that we thought she had got lost and it was only after OTL did his 'Come To Me' whistle that Holly found out she was being left behind!

Here I come!

 Lunch time came and off we went again, we had a game of 'Chase the Ball' with OTL and I did my trick to get him to chase me. You see, I normally will get to the ball first 'cos I'm quicker than Holly, so, after I get the ball, I run off into the grass, drop the ball at my paws and have a nibble of grass.

OTL is jumping up and down calling me to bring the ball but as I've said before, I'm no Retriever type and I don't do 'Fetch' games, so, if OTL wants the ball, he can jolly well come and get it!

Spot The Ball!

It was good fun until we got bored with his tantrums!

Holly spotted the Wormy Men out on the mud flats looking for worms but they weren't digging, just looking. Hey! says Holly, do you think they've dropped a fifty pence piece?

I'm sure I dropped it here!

Along the path came Dougal, all full of the joys, he said hello and we had a bit of run around until he got called away to finish his walk.

This is a bit chilly Girls!

Back home it was good and warm, unlike the weather on the Sea Wall, so we were looking forward to curling up and having a snooze until dinner time when we expect to mug OTL for some Bambi Burger dipped in eggy yoke, which is one of our favourite nibbles!

So bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Saturday with Old Two Legs

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back with you again!

Today we took The Missus up to her Master Class at the village hall, really early, 'cos she has to get the hall all ready and laid out for her ladies, just so there is no wasted time when they arrive!

That means we have to go up there in the big car 'cos she has got mountains of stuff, which is OK by us 'cos that means we get to ride in the comfortable seats with arm rests and head rests as well!

Getting down to The Sea Wall early means we get to say 'Good Morning' to the fishermen who were packing up to go home.

Of course, Holly had a good sniff to see if they had any food left and I was asking how well they had done with the worms swimming lessons!

Did any of them learn to swim?

Holly got fed up when he said he didn't have any food but I stayed a while and told him all about TM and the ink being all worn out and distressed 'cos she is smart like that!

..........and then she gets the ink pad and smashes it down on the card and it turns into a big Splodge!

He said he couldn't hang about to hear all of the tale because he had to get home, so I told him I'll tell him the rest the next time I see him!

The sun was up by now and was poking its head around the clouds, so that means OTL was trying to 'Catch The Light', but I've seen better, still it keeps him quiet!

Another Sheerness Sunrise!

 It was then that Max came bounding along and we had a chat about some sniffs he had found. Then he told us about Buster, his brother, who had made a complete pig of himself and had eaten too much liver. Now, we know what happens when we eat too much liver and it was the same for Buster, in fact he didn't feel like having a walk and stayed at home!

.........and once he started, well, I thought it would never stop!

Well, we said our goodbye's and headed back to the car 'cos it was getting a bit draughty on the sea front and Holly said we had heart for breakfast!

Back home it was Doggy Scoff, TM had done our breakfast before she left and told OTL to give it to us.

We were not Happy Puppies!

We managed to mug OTL for a bit of his lunch but I think he was hungry as well 'cos he just woofed it all down!

 On our second walk along The Sea Wall we met up with Buster (Dicky Tummy) and Max again. Now Buster thinks that OTL is wonderful and is always running up to him for a stroke and a tickle on the tail!

In fact, it can be embarrassing sometimes 'cos OTL is ours, not his!

Hello OTL!

We left them to carry on with their walk and went back to chasing the ball that OTL had brought with him. It is good when he throws it and it bounces on the steps 'cos it starts to go one way, bounces and goes at right angles and lands on the beach!

That's OK providing we can jump down onto the beach but sometimes we have to run along the wall and down the steps and then go back to find it again!

OK, I've Found IT!

OTL found this great big fungi growing in the grass, we don't know its name yet but we will keep an eye on it over the next day or so!

It's going to be big when it grows up!

 Then we spotted a Redwing bird, now, we don't see to many of these over here 'cos it comes from the pine forests of Scandinavia and comes over here for the Winter.

A Redwing in the bushes, after the berries!

 What we are really looking for is the Waxwings, they come from Russia and come over here for a holiday when it gets too cold for them at home!

OK, we're off to have a cuddle with OTL and maybe get a bit of shortbread, if we are lucky!

So, bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Distressing Tale in the cold of Winter!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Did you know, it is only fourteen days until the Winter Solstice or the shortest day in the year, after that we are heading towards Spring and Summer!

Roll on the Twenty First!

We woke up early this morning 'cos The Missus is busy, busy with her stuff for the Master Class on Saturday and the lesson this week is, 'Distress Inks and Embossing Folders.'

How do you make ink distressed?

Show it the blotting paper!

Boom Boom!

This mornings run on The Sea Wall was a bit damp and we were feeling Distressed by the time we got back to the car! 

I'm Distressed enough to go back home, NOW!

However, we did have some fun woofing at the spaniel types that woof at us but this time they were on a lead and couldn't get to us!

Come on then, if your tough enough!

 Then Holly said that she had decided to try some line dancing for a change and set about doing a demonstration!

Look! Line Dancing!

 I tried to get the message home to Old Two Legs, so, I stood near to him and gave him one of my special 'Hairy Eyeball' looks that should tell him I'm not a happy puppy!

The Old 'Hairy Eyeball'

 That didn't seem to work, was he that unobservant or was he just ignoring us?

Holly even did the 'I'm not a Happy Woofer' bit as well!

I don't do Wet!

You know what, all OTL was interested in doing was taking pictures of the Curlew in the puddle!

Can you see my Australian Cousin?

Seems this Curlew thought that his reflection was his Australian Cousin from 'Down Under', you know those birds can be really daft sometimes!

In the end, Holly and I got fed up and raced ahead of OTL, woofing and snarling like we had a rabbit in our sights, just to get OTL moving towards the car!

Growl, Woof and Grrrrr!

When we got to the car, it was a quick rub down with our special Doggy Towel and it soon gets the wet out of our fur, leaving us mildly damp! Once we get the car heater on it soon dries us and we get warmed up at the same time!

We had Lamb Heart for breakfast this morning, super stuff! After that it was a very pleasant snooze until lunch time when we headed over to the Riverside Park.

Now don't think I'm a wimp but that wind just blew in off the river and nearly blew us off the path!

This is nearly as bad as wet!

We had a run up and down the path and even stopped while OTL took a picture of the Power Station, just for Trevor!

This is for Mr T C!

We didn't hang about for too long 'cos we reckon that there was snow on the way. We were both having a sniff of the air and decided that we could sniff the Snow Fairy and maybe we will get to build a big Snow Dog in our garden!

As we left the park, the sun was going down to sleep for the night so we hurried OTL back to the car and headed for home............and dinner, His Dinner that is!

Come on OTL, it's Dinner Time!

So, back at home it was a bit crowded with TM's stuff for tomorrow, it looks like we will have to give her a lift up to the village hall at the crack of dawn or she will never make it!

Dinner is ready, so, bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

Snoozy Day

Hello Woofers!

It's us, Daisy & Holly, missing the Snow Fairy!

We got up good and early, just to see if the Snow Fairy has come back, but she hasn't and instead there was a load of frost on the cars and in the garden on the grass.

Brrrrr, Chilly!

Even down on the Sea Wall it was cold but we had a run around and got a bit warmer and our coats helped as well!

We could try running on the spot!

Old Two Legs was faffing around going Ooo! and Aaah! about the sun rise, we were just glad it was getting brighter!

OK, another sunrise!

It was just as well it was getting brighter 'cos as we were sniffin at a very interesting sniff, when a Wormy Man walked past and made us jump!

This is interesting.........Whoosatt?

Well, Holly gave him the old 'Come here and I'll sort you out' woof, but he just kept on walking towards the beach holding onto his bucket and garden fork!

You want sorting out!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to dig we go!

Born to Dig!

We carried on and along the wall spotted a Curlew having a 'Wash and Brush Up' in one of the rock pools, so, of course, there was OTL clicking away and making a terrible noise with the camera!

Looking clean!

Holly thought she had spotted a rabbit and charged off towards the bushes but it was only a Blackbird scrabbling around in the leaf mould.

I saw it, I'm sure I saw it!

Just as Holly charged around the corner, who should be coming the other way, it was Bramble, a big long haired Labrador clutching a ball in her mouth.

Yo! Bramble!

We said hello and declined a game of chase 'cos we wanted to get home for our breakfast, Chicken & Biscuits, which is one of our favourite meals.

Holly was straight in and chomping away but I decided to leave it for an hour or two 'cos I have stuffed my face on Doggy Scoff during the night 'cos I got hungry!

Our lunch time walk was cold, I mean, looking at the temperature gauge on the  car dashboard, it showed -5 degrees, no change from this morning!

It is still chilly!

It was a quick run around and back to the car so we could get home in the warm and snuggle up in the day bed, until dinner time!

Come on OTL, HOME!

Holly came into the office and destroyed my bed, shoving all the blankets onto the floor, just so she could get the three day old carrot that I had hidden there!

OTL spotted her doing it and took the carrot away from her!

That'll teach her to destroy my bed!

We are off tomorrow to do some collections and deliveries, so we expect to be out most of the day, delivering and collecting and walking in The New Park!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

The Snow Fairy Has Come Back Again!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here!

Guess what?

We got up this morning and looked out of the window and ........................

THE SNOW FAIRY IS HERE!

Us saying Hello to The Snow Fairy!

 We ran into the garden and snuffled around saying hello and welcome back. Holly got too excited and sniffed to much and the snow went up her nose and it made her eyes water!

Holly snuffling too hard!

We couldn't wait to get down to The Sea Wall and see what was happening with the rabbits!

 As soon as we were let out of the car we raced along to where the rabbits live and called out for them to come out and play but they stayed in their holes 'cos it was too cold for them!

Yahoooooooooooo!

We didn't care, we ran on and rolled in the snow and Holly was getting all 'Very Excited'

An Excited Holly!

 It was easier finding out who had been out this morning and it was interesting seeing the paw prints as well as following the sniffs. You know, we were the first woofers along the wall this morning!

Look! We're First!

 OTL thought it was good for us to see our paw prints in the snow and he even took a photograph!

Holly & Daisy!

I suppose next he will want to take a picture of our paws in mud! 

We had a super time and had fun rolling in the snow until OTL shoved us back in the car to go home for some breakfast, Doggy Scoff!

We spent the morning snoozing and when it was time to go out for our lunch time walk, the Snow Fairy had gone! She didn't even say 'Goodbye' but we reckon that she will be back soon!

After doing some deliveries OTL then took us down to The New Park and I knew that he had a ball in his pocket, so I did my 'Jumping Up and Woofing' trick to tell him to throw the ball.

I made his nice clean trousers a bit grubby!

I got the Ball!

 Holly was a bit put out that the Snow Fairy had left the New Park

No Snow At All!

So, with the snow gone Holly decides that she doesn't want to chase me and the ball, instead she does her 'Doggy Trot' dance in the middle of the path!

Do, Do, The Doggy Trot!

We stopped off at the Tee Pee to see if anyone was around but it was empty.

Any one home?

 We carried on around the park and slowly it was getting colder so off we went back to the car.

The sun was setting and of course, OTL just had to stop and take a picture, not bad but we wanted to get home and have a snooze before dinner!

Sunset

 So, now it's off to mug OTL for some of his dinner, not sure what he has got but it had better not be ham salad!

 See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly

A Day of Brrrm, Brrrrm!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here, a little damp but worn out!

You know how expert we are at guarding the house and how we do our 'Puppy Patrols' every couple of hours or so? Well, last night we thought we were onto something.

We kept going out into the garden 'cos there was a strange noise going on and it seemed to come from just outside the garden gate, Holly said it was a Hedgehog and I thought it was a stray cat.

So, last night we kept a good look out and a listening watch for anything strange outside.

About three in the morning I heard something out the front of the house, then about four thirty Holly reckons she could hear something as well.

Well, we stood guard at the front window and woofed and grumbled and I even did my excited whine as well.

You know what? Old Two Legs slept all the way through it all and The Missus just barked at us to keep quiet!

No gratitude you know, after all that guarding!

When we went out for our morning walk, OTL spotted some aluminium baking foil that had been ripped to bits, so we reckon it was a cat having a feast in our front garden!

Off we went to The Sea Wall and I was determined to catch me one of those Mouses that run faster than a Squirrel on Fire!

First of all I got Holly to stand guard and stop the Mouses from rushing onto the beach and escape!

 Then I did what is known as a 'Flanking Manoeuvre' or better known as  'Going Around The Back'! 

Me Flanking!

 Then I heard a rusting and did my 'Nose Point' and Holly just flew at the spot, so did I and we got there at the same time!

Nuffin!

 Yep! Missed it again!

 Well, we were jumping around and diving into the grass but we still didn't find it and OTL was trying to take some 'Action Shots' of us hunting but even he missed the Mouses as well!

Looking in the Wrong Place!

We soon got fed up with that and retired to our day beds after breakfast at home, that was until OTL picked up the car keys and said 'Brrrm, Brrrrm!'

Now that means, 'Do you fancy coming out for a drive in the car and maybe we will have an adventure as well'

Do we want and 'Adventure?'

You bet!

Off we went and we landed up on the beach at Herne Bay! 

Now this is the place that has got loads of beach huts at the top of the beach and there is always loads of food there where Two Legs come down and open up the huts and sit in front and eat food and watch the sea!

We know this 'cos we have been here when they have done it.

But we didn't get any food 'cos they were hungry and didn't want to give us any!

Lets ask OTL to buy one!

We decided that it would be a good idea if OTL bought one so we can spend the summer down here helping everyone to eat their food!

Today though, there was no one on the beach and instead we had fun running after the ball OTL was throwing for us, until it went into the sea and I got wet up to my tummy 'cos I had to go in the water to get the ball!

OTL did his deliveries and we headed for home but instead of going to see TM we stopped off at The Sea Wall again, just in case there were any Mouses around. We didn't find any and instead we got caught in a shower of rain!

Holly was the first to notice the rain 'cos a drop landed on her nose!

Rain drops are falling on me nose!

That was it, straight home to a rub down and finish off the last of our breakfast!

Next it will be mugging OTL for some of his dinner before a taste of his shortbread!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly
