Friday and it's getting closer!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again!

We are getting all excited about going away. Holly keeps watching the TV Weather reports and reckons that we may just about escape the rain that is running about the country!

It was a bit chilly when we went out this morning and Snowflake stayed in Old Two Legs hand, all curled up and refused to come out until we reached the midway point!

Then she was tearing along with us and shoving us out of the way!

Back home it was Chicken and Biscuits and off to OTL's office for a snooze while he packs up his camera stuff. Snowflake says she is looking forward to her visit to the Pet Hotel. She says that it is sort of like a Health Spar for small animals, like wot she is and us doggies are too big to stay there!

She will be taking half of her 'Snowy Heights' house, which Holly says should be called 'Snowy Bungalow!

Mind you, she says that she will be happy when we come back and we are all together again!

Lunchtime down on The Sea Wall, it was trying very hard to rain and the clouds were getting darker as we went around.


We spotted three Thames Sailing Barges heading up the River Medway on the incoming tide! I don't think they were racing but they did look good with the wind blowing the sails!

The Leading Barge
A bit further back was the second barge.

Then there was Number Two!
A bit further back we saw the third barge being buzzed by a speed boat!

Noisy Little Boat!

We left them to get on with it and went back to our sniffin!



Well, when we got down to the Rabbit Hunting Ground, Holly says that she could see loads of rabbit and off she went! As hard as I looked, I couldn't see any, thanks Holly's racing charge down the hill!

No Chance Porky!
 I Stopped, Looked and Listened and..........!

Nuffin!
 Well, that was it, back home to more packing up and Holly enjoyed a snooze on the sofa while I went up to the office for a quiet snooze, well it would be is Snowflake stopped snoring!

Tomorrow we will drop into the 'Master Class' that The Missus runs 'cos we hope that Archie's Mum will be there and Snowflake says she will give Archie a lick if he's there as well!

Then after that, it is off the the Pet Hotel with Snowflake and make sure she is settled before back home to finish packing!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

The Omelet is getting Bigger!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again!

Well, overnight or early this morning Mrs Sparrow added another egg to the omelet, there are two eggs that we can see in the nest!

More Eggs for the Omelet!
That put us all in a good mood and Snowflake even decided that she would come with us for the morning walk, just to work up an appetite!

As normal, we want to go one way, Snowflake wants to go another, so, we go Snowflakes way!

It was a bit of good luck that she wanted to go towards the Rabbit Hunting Ground and Old Two Legs, spotting the direction, called us to put our leads on.

Snowflake, not wanting to stop, did her 'Reverse Wriggle' and slipped the harness and lead and legged it off towards the rabbit holes!

OTL took off after her and we were all going Hell for Leather over the grass tussocks, OTL trying to grab Snowflake whilst running at top speed!

We were running along side calling out to Snowflake to 'Get a Move On'!

Finally, OTL did a lucky grab and scooped Snowflake up in his hand and braked hard 'cos just ahead of him was the rabbit holes!

That was it, Snowflake was put back on the lead and marched off to the car, which she didn't mind 'cos it was a bit damp on the grass and her tummy was getting wet!

Back home to a Chicken & Biscuit nosh up before  heading for the sofa and a good snooze!

Lunchtime came and we were off into town to take some stuff to the carriers and of course, off to The Forest!

We planned to ambush some squirrels and maybe a rabbit or two but it was terrible! Loads of Two Legs marching about, yakking and making so much noise that even we were getting worried!

Yak, Yak, Yak, Yak, Yakky Yak Yak!
OTL was into his Bluebells again and anything else he could find.
 
OTL's Bluebells!
Not a single squirrel showed it's face, or tail and rabbits? Well we didn't even sniff any fresh poo!

No Rabbit, No Squirrel, No Poo!
 So that was it, back to OTL and his photo of the wood!

A Woodland Glade!
There we were, wandering along, sniffin the sniffs when all of a sudden there was three strange doggies intent on giving us a sniff! I don't like uninvited sniffs and I told them so!

Take your Cold Wet Nose and Woof Off!
So, that was it, back to OTL and the flowers!

Boring Flowers!
See you all tomorrow, I'm off to look for my sun hat!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Eggcellent News!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here with some good news!

Still waiting!
Snowflakes Omelet  has started! Well, there is one egg at the bottom of the nest!

Sparrow Omelet?
 Even The Missus came to have a look and we also saw Mrs Sparrow having a breather on the nest box roof!

One down, another five to go!
So, Spring is here and everything is growing, we just wish the Sun would come out to play!

We went out this morning but Snowflake stayed at home 'cos it was too windy and cold for her. She said she would stay and look after the Sparrows nest!

We of course enjoyed a 'Doggy Run' where we went where we wanted to go rather than where Miss Snowflake wanted to go, and, it didn't take nearly as long to get around to the Rabbit Hunting Ground!

Look! No Ferret!
We spent the afternoon looking out of the window waiting for Old Two Legs to return 'cos he has been out doing 'Important Stuff', not sure what it is but he says it's 'Important!'


Now he is back, we can have a cuddle and then see if we can mug some of his dinner!

Holly has just finished her 'List', that is the stuff she is going to take away on holiday, most important is her bikini!

OTL reckons the most important is Anti Midge Lotion!

I reckon a good Chew is important!

I see we will be discussing this tonight over a bit of shortbread!

See you tomorrow and maybe there will be another egg!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

We've got Lodgers!

Hello Woofers!

We are here again, Daisy, Holly & Snowflake!

What a rotten day, it has been raining on and off for most of today and why does it always start to rain the moment we put out noses out of the door!

Still, we had our coats on so it wasn't so bad, just a little damp!

This morning we had a walk around The Farm 'cos OTL was busy and had to go out early. That also means that The Missus didn't take her camera out with her, so that means no photos!

We reckon that she doesn't take the camera out 'cos Old Two Legs set it up for taking pictures of her cards and now she is too scared to play with any of the controls!

OTL being out means that life in the house hold is a bit, 'Boring', so, to help pass the time and also making a change from snoozing, which is not so bad but sometimes you can have too much of a good thing, know what I mean?

Well, there I was, sitting in OTL's office, flicking through the TV channels when I came across the section that shows all the other stuff he has connected to the TV, like, Computer and AV1 and AV2 and HMDI2.

One of these showed the inside of the bird box we have got, just outside the window.

I was just about to change channel again when this Sparrow appeared on the screen with some bits of grass in is beak and he proceeded to build a nest!

I was facinated and so was Snowflake, who was watching from Snowy Heights! Hey Up! Says Snowflake, does Sparrow taste like chicken? ('cos she likes raw chicken legs) 'No idea' says I thinking the same thing!

So, out comes OTL's camera and we try to capture a shot!

New Lodger!
When we told OTL about it he said that the last sparrows who nested there we a messy pair and kept covering up the lens with bits of grass 'cos the didn't like OTL and TM watching them hatch out the eggs!

The male sparrow seems to be in the nest all the time, pushing and poking the grass and trying to make it all soft and warm.

So we will be keeping a close eye on what happens and already Snowflake is researching on the internet to find out if you can make a decent omelet out of sparrows eggs, but I don't think OTL will allow that!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Snowflakes Two Outing Day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back with you again!

It has been all fun and games today, first of all, I decided to wake Old Two Legs up good and early so I jumped up on the bed and started licking his ear, trouble was, I had to sit on The Missus's head to get to OTL.

TM didn't like me sitting on her head, so she shoved me onto OTL and he said that if I didn't take my paw out of his ear he'd unscrew my tail so I'd never be happy again!

Well, that's the last time I give him an early morning lick!

Snowflake came out with us for a walk along The Sea Wall and while she was leading OTL over the hill and far away, we headed to the Rabbit Hunting Ground!

I got filthy, I was so filthy that OTL took me home and washed me all over!

Lunch time we were informed that TM was going to join us on our walk AND Snowflake said that she was going to come along as well!

We got to the car park and out we all jumped, then Snowflake said it was a bit chilly and immediately shot up OTL's arm and ducked into his hood! 

Where's the toilet?
We both called her a wimp but she wouldn't come out until we got over the hill!

So, with TM watching us and OTL watching Snowflake we all enjoyed chasing sniffs, and sharing them!
This is a good one!
 Then we headed back over the hill 'cos Snowflake decided that was the way she wanted to go and she wasn't waiting for anyone!

Follow me, I know where I'm going!
Back down the hill we some how found ourselves in the Rabbit Hunting Ground, as normal!

Before we got put on the lead again, Snowflake showed us one of her tricks, camouflage!

She says she attended the SAS course, (Sneaky Animal Seminar) and learnt loads of sneaky tricks!

Well, we couldn't see her!
Back home we all crashed out and spent the afternoon snoozing!

Now it is dinner time, so off we go and Snowflake is still crashed out, no stamina!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (The Sneaky!)

A Fun Sunday at Home!

Hello Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy, Holly & Snowflake, and we got up late this morning!

After the late night last night we sort of stayed in bed a bit longer than normal and Holly didn't even get up on the bed to get away from Snowflake! Mind you, she was late in getting up as well!

It was a sunny morning with a bit of a breeze blowing but that didn't stop Snowflake from dancing along The Sea Wall. I don't know what it is with that ferret but she always wants to go the opposite way! Sometimes she shows off and when she thinks Old Two Legs has pulled enough on her lead, she turns around, wiggles her backside and tries to reverse out of the harness she has on! We know she can get out 'cos she has done it before but OTL is crafty, he releases the tension on the lead and she wriggles backwards but there is no chance of her getting out!

Mind you, that doesn't stop her trying!

Back home it was the 'Big Tidy Up' as OTL sorted and put away all his gear, we of course had breakfast and retired for our 'After Breakfast Snooze' which is one of our favourite snoozes of the day!

Lunch time came and we headed off to the rubbish tip to get rid of some old boxes and other stuff and you know, we were so near to The Forest, well, we just had to have a run to find a squirrel or two!

Too many Two Legs!
Well, we hunted and we hunted but due to the great number of 'Two Legs' running around looking for squirrels, they scared them all off!

Was that one or a big bird?
So, that was it, OTL was off looking for Bluebells and 'Interesting Flowers' but what with us woofin at all the other dogs he had his time cut out!

OTL's Bluebells!
That was it, after a run around it was back home before the rain started!

OTL spent the afternoon processing and printing the photographs he took yesterday and I must admit, they ain't too bad!

Tonight we plan to mug OTL for some shortbread 'cos we know he has got a bottle of whisky he plans to open and lets face it, if there's whisky then there must be shortbread!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (who is presently emptying the drawer!)

Watching OTL Work!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here, it's late at night and we have only just got in after a day watching Old Two Legs doing some photography work!

We had our run this morning and chased a couple of rabbits back down their holes but OTL wouldn't let us hang about sniffing and poking around the bushes!

Back home we were shoved into the big car, together with a load of camera stuff and The Missus and off we went.

Well, to cut a long story down to the basics, OTL spent most of the day with his camera. We spent most of the time bored brainless and TM spent all day gassing!

So now, at 23:30hr we can hardly keep our eyes open, so we're off to bed.

OTL is in with Snowflake 'cos she had to stay at home all day on her own. So she is getting a bit of TLC, a big slosh of Ferretone and a cuddle from OTL plus a rampage around the office while OTL puts the camera gear away!

You must excuse us but I can hardly keep my eyes open and Holly is already snoring!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Snowflake has a new job!

Hello Woofers!

It's us back again, Daisy, Holly & Snowflake!

The weather has not been as brilliant as it has been but first thing this morning there was enough sun to tempt Snowflake out with us for a run.

Before we could go out there was the problem of getting Holly out of bed. She is not known for 'Early Mornings' and prefers to stay in bed until the last moment, like Old Two Legs calling her down to go 'Walkies!'

So, here we are, I've got up early 'cos The Missus was crashing about downstairs getting ready for her Master Class this weekend. OTL woke up as well and I suppose me licking his ear helped!

Holly was still curled up in her bed, dreaming of food and nibbles!

OTL was up and showered and clearing Snowflakes stuff. Snowflake was also up and having a ferret around and getting into trouble, as normal.

OTL took Snowflakes drinking bowl into the bathroom to clean it out and refill, when he heard Holly starting to grumble, so, quick as a flash, he was into the bedroom to see what was up.

There, in Holly's bed was Holly, curled up in her sleeping position with Snowflake licking her nose!

That was it, Holly decided that enough was enough and got up, jumped over Snowflake and OTL and headed out to see if there was any food to eat!

So, OTL says that in future, if he wants Holly to move, he'll send in Snowflake to sort her out!

Me? I was on OTL's bed watching it all, safe and out of Snowflake way, I'm not daft!

Lunchtime we were off down the Sea Wall again and tickle me tail with a feather, there was the BBC TV News people reporting on the plans to build that airport in the middle of the Thames!

........and behind me is where Boris' Folly is planned!
OTL said we had to keep quiet when we went past, just in case they were transmitting. Holly said they should interview us and we could tell them to take the airport and woof off!

.......and it will ruin the Rabbit Bushes as well!
When we got around to where they were doing the interview, we found that they had all packed up and were just about to leave, so we didn't get interviewed after all!

So, it was back to Hunting Rabbit!

now, where are those rabbits?
Tomorrow we are off out early 'cos OTL has got to do some work, but it will be great for us 'cos we're going to be running in some new woods!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (the Knocker Upper!)

Getting Ready to Swim!

Yo Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again!

No rain today, so Snowflake was out with us this morning, ferreting along The Sea Wall and enjoying herself as we went hunting rabbit, again! One good thing about our walk is that Old Two Legs is getting a bit more trusting, providing he can see where we are, then he carries on walking Snowflake and puts her back in the car while he comes back for us!

Here be Rabbits!
Snowflake says she doesn't like drinking from our 'Traveling Water Bowl' 'cos she says she might fall in, so OTL poured out some water into the bottle cap and she had a drink from that!

Snowflake sorted!

At lunch time we were down there again and this time OTL brought the ball with him and I had a brilliant game of 'Chase', Holly decided to sit down and catch a couple of rays and top up her tan!

Come Here Ball!
With Holly spread out on the beach catching the rays I decided that it was time for some serious swimming, so, while OTL was looking for the lost ball, I went in for a paddle!

Me with my paws nearly off the ground!
We got dragged off the beach and sent back to wee'ing and sniffin and chasing rabbits!

Over the horizon we saw some woofers charging towards us, it was Max and Oscar and Bella.

Bella is a bit old and doesn't come out too often! Mind you, it didn't stop her from giving us a good woofin!

Bella doing a 'Serious Woof'!
Back home OTL was playing on the computer doing 'Things' so we left him alone and spent a pleasurable afternoon woofin at the pigeons and collard doves that dared to land in the garden!

Holly even spent some time relaxing by the pond!

Off for some diner now, well some of OTL's if we can mug some off him!

luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

We get wet!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here!

Just wot happened to the sun?

We were up good and early this morning and all I saw outside the window was rain!

I went into see Snowflake and told her about the wet stuff and she said that we are 'on our own' and she went back to bed!

Out of my way, I'm off back to bed!
Well, Holly and I had our rain coats on and even Old Two Legs had his waterproofs on as well! Off we went to The Sea Wall, when we got there it was hardly raining! We kept our rain coats on and proceeded to Hunt Some Rabbit!

Here Wabbit, here!
Mind you, when we were dragged away from the rabbits and along the Sea Wall, we decided that we really don't like the rain, even though we had rain coats!

I'm getting wetter!
 I stopped for a wee and Holly stood on the path and told me to 'Hurry Up' 'cos she was getting too damp!

Come on Girl, get yourself sorted out!
We met up with Max and Oscar who went potty over OTL, as normal, so predictable!

Yo OTL!
Oscar wanted to know where Snowflake was 'cos he wanted to give her a woof!

OTL spotted the first dandelion flowers, so, there he was, on his knees, taking pictures! It was a good job he had his waterproofs on or he would have got soaked!

First Dandelion!
I must admit, we got bored with all that flower stuff and went back to chasing Rabbits!

Chaaaaarge
Back home we told Snowflake all about the rabbits and OTL's flower and Max and Oscar.

Snowflake said that, providing the sun comes out, she will come with us at lunchtime!

Come on then, let me out!
Well, the sun came out and we all had a super walk down on The Sea Wall and Snowflake even got stroked by the fishermen we often see down on the Sea Wall. One said his Dad used to keep ferrets and we thought it funny 'cos he must be at least seventy years old, the fisherman not his dad!

Back home we spent the afternoon snoozing while OTL got out loads of paper and stuff ready to take around to the accountant.

So, not the most exciting day but at least Snowflake got her run and we got to chase a rabbit or two!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake
