Warm Again!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles back to see you.

You know, Old Two Legs was supposed to retire a year and half ago, the idea was he could have a restful time, getting up late, spend loads of time walking us dogs and generally making up for all the hard work!

Well, that was the idea!

Today, the alarm went off at a couple of minutes before six, which felt like it was in the middle of the night, but it couldn't be in the middle of the night 'cos Holly got OTL up in the middle of the night for a wee!

After a bit of stretching OTL settled down on the rowing machine and wobbled his way around the office for fifteen minutes, being cheered on by the ferrets who were running around Snowy Heights whooping and calling out to OTL to 'Keep Quiet' 'cos they wanted to sleep!

After a shower, he loaded us all into the car and off down the Sea Wall for a jog down to the beach, Mr Brambles was having fun chasing and digging!

Getting a Charge On!

Miss Snowflake really doesn't do mornings, a bit like Holly, but falling asleep again in OTL's arm on her way to the beach is a bit much!

I don't do Mornings!

Holly managed to get ahead and jumped up onto the table calling out that she was on Table Top Mountain!

Waiting for the Gang to catch up!

After the beach we have jog back to the car, sniffin' the sniffs and woofing at the other dogs along the path. Back home to a feed and a snooze while OTL starts work on the computer!

I think OTL has gone wrong somewhere along the line!

What makes us laugh is even though he works in the office, there is also the other work he does on the Dustbin Lorries!

Take this afternoon, off he went without asking us, off to play on the lorries.

We were a bit put out that we couldn't go with him but I suppose that the hot weather would have made it uncomfortable for us waiting in the car for him.

But it doesn't stop us from missing him!

Waiting for OTL

 We waited and waited and waited and wouldn't leave the window until he came back. When he did arrive we gave him a Super Big Welcome Home Lick and a Cuddle!

We don't think he has any plans to go out tomorrow, so it's back to the Sea Wall for some fun!

Fiona, Snowflake was glad to hear that another Ferret found a good home!

Bye bye for now, we're off to mug OTL for some Shortbread!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake (The Sleepy) and Mr Brambles

Going around in Circles!

Hi Woofers!

We're back, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Have we had a good laugh today!

It started really early this morning, about six I think it was, the sun hadn't got above the horizon properly when Old Two Legs (Fatty Sailor Man) rolled out of bed and staggered into the office. He had left the rowing machine set up last night 'cos he didn't trust himself to set it up in the morning 'cos he is on 'Auto Pilot' until midday!

Well, he plonked himself down onto the seat and strapped his feet into the foot pedals and started a 'Warm Up' paddle!

Then he gets going on his 'real' rowing. You should have seen him, there he was sort of grunting on every stroke and as he was doing that, the two ferrets were watching him from the cage door. They had their paws on the cage wire looking out at him sliding up and down the runner, their heads were going just like a Two Legs watching tennis!

Plonk, plonk,......plonk, plonk!

Holly and I wandered into the office as well, we stood by the door and watched OTL zoom past the door going forwards, then zoom back holding onto the pole that is supposed to be the oars!

Zoom, zoom......zoooom, zoom!

The grunting and blowing was most comical!

All this rowing and plonking and zooming means that the rowing machine starts to move as well and pretty soon it is beginning to rotate around the office, so by the time OTL was ready to collapse, sorry, we mean Finish, the machine was facing the other way!

So all that rowing and he had gone around in circles!

Now, you remember that last night he managed to do forty strokes a minute for ten minutes? This morning it took him fourteen minutes to do four hundred strokes!

Not very good, not only is he going around in circles but he is going backwards at the same time!

We don't think OTL is very good at this rowing lark!

We were all laughing when we went out for our walk this morning and OTL started to show off and say that it wasn't fair 'cos he kept feeling like he was going to fall off, which made us laugh even more, well I mean, he can't sleep without falling out of bed and now he can't row without falling off the machine!

It's a good job he's not in a real rowing boat, can you imagine it?

Row, row, Splash!

Lunch time came and OTL said that he couldn't stand any more Micky Taking by us, so, off to the Forrest for a run for us and some peace and quiet for OTL!

Holly was enjoying herself, sniffin' the sniffs, I found some enormous poo in the middle of the path. It smelt of cow poo, but were there any cows in our forest?

I thought there was only squirrels in the forest but it seems that we have cows here now, or some mighty big squirrel with a seriously upset tummy!

Did you see the size of that Poo?

We were creeping through the woods when a Hover Fly stopped and warned us about big cows hiding in the forest ahead of us!

Beware of Cows behind the trees!

We carried on and didn't see any cows at all! Holly had a good sniff at the gate, just to check out the road ahead!

No Sniffin' Cows ahead!

OTL was too busy chasing Hover Flies to pay any attention to what was ahead, so we left him bothering a fly who was trying to catch some rays!

Take that camera and Buzz OFF!

We were all enjoying the woods and the warm weather and climbing over the tree trunks when all of a sudden Holly stops and whispers over her shoulder.......Jus' Look at That Monster Squirrel!

Hello Girls!

  OTL laughed and called us 'Potty Puppies' and said that we had found the Highland Cattle that were here to keep the bracken down!

Holly and I didn't hang about to say hello, they were just too big!

Well, that's it for today, will OTL sink the rowing machine?  Will the ferrets get over watching OTL wobble all over the office?

More answers tomorrow!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly Snowflake and Mr Brambles

The Rochester Boat Song?

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here again!

Yesterday was great fun and we were very tired by the time we went to bed and I must admit, we even over slept this morning!

The ferrets were rattling their door 'cos they expected to be let out about half an hour earlier!

As we snoozed on the bed, OTL was in getting showered but before he did that he poured out the Lactose Free milk for the ferrets and they both dived in and didn't stop slurping until it had all gone!

Mmmmmm Milk!

Holly and I carried on snoozing, we need all the sleep we can get 'cos we expect to see Sassy and Tilly again around lunch time!

OTL has made arrangements to pick up his Rowing Machine around midday, so we have been discussing what songs OTL should sing as he paddles down his (pretend) river!

Snowflake says maybe he should try some 'Water Music' and Mr Brambles says that knowing OTL it should be 'Bubble Music'!

Holly reckons that he will need to keep time, sort of like walking or marching music like 'Colonel Boggy'!

In the end we decided that we will have to make up our own 'Rowing Song' to keep him going!

Holly wanted to know if OTL knew how to work a rowing machine. Well, let's face it, he falls out of bed and that doesn't even move, so a sliding, wobbling, whirling rowing machine might very well throw him off before he gets going!

So, the first lines have got to be :-

Steady as you go, my fatty sailor man
Keep pulling on the oars, keep straight if you can,
Don't worry 'bout the other boats, we warned them yesterday
That your not looking where your going, so be careful if you can!

OK, so we've got to work on it but it's not that bad for a start!

I reckon that he should have a big drum mounted on the front of the machine and us woofers can beat time with our tails. Mind you, I don't know what would happen if someone shouted 'Walkies' and we got excited and doubled the drum rate!

He might have a heart attack!

Well, we went off and collected it and it looks 'The Business'. It's big, heavy and on the good side, it doesn't make too much noise!

So, after reading the instruction manual, OTL got it set up and going!

He said that what he needed was a 'Bench Mark' to base all future results, so, he sat down and paddled away for ten minutes.

He has decided that ten minutes a day will be enough to begin with!

Well, he did four hundred strokes in ten minutes and that is 40 strokes a minute, not exactly Olympic Standard but he has to start somewhere!

We'll let you know how he gets on and how long it is before he decides to sell it!

See you tomorrow, providing he doesn't sink!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Sea, Sand, Swimming and Digging Holes!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Wot a Day!

It started off with Old Two Legs getting up at least an hour earlier than normal, which is very unusual!

Our walk along the Sea Wall was good and the ferrets spent too long digging holes!

The temperature was a bit low and Miss Snowflake didn't want to get down from OTL's arms to be gin with!

The sun shone through the clouds onto a small sailing boat in the estuary, all very pretty!

White Sails in the Sunrise!

Back we went and while we were having breakfast OTL sneaked out and went to pick up Sassy and Tilly!

When they arrived we had a game in the garden and The Missus put together a big picnic spread and packed it all up in the 'Cool Bag'!

Next stop Minnis Bay!

Minnis Bay is super, loads of sand all over the place and loads of beach to run on!

We started off by having a picnic first, TM found a shelter and laid out the picnic on the shelter seat, all very posh looking it was!

Posh Meal

We all sat down and had a good feast!

and now a drink!

After the picnic we headed off to the Beach!

I found this great big puddle that was wet and warm! I had a good deep paddle and cooled off all my bits and OTL was even throwing the ball in for me to fetch!

There's Paddling and there is Deep Paddling!

We ran and chased and woofed and rolled on the sand then we dug some holes and then after all that, we had a paddle and started all over again!

Tilly said she was feeling a bit cold 'cos the wind was blowing in off the sea, so OTL gave her his fleece to put on.

Obi-Wan Kenobi?

We went back to the car and OTL had this brilliant idea that everyone thought was wonderful.

A Mr Whippy Ice Cream!

Mr Whippy Cone for two!

Of course, lessons have to be learnt, like, You Have to Eat It Fast!

It's running down my fingers!

All in all we had a great time and on the way back everyone fell asleep, except OTL who had to drive!

So, now we are all tired little puppies and everyone has decided to have an early night, except OTL who says he is going to have a slurp and some shortbread.

It's a sort of 'Good Bye' to being a pig and to try to loose some weight. That's the reason that tomorrow, he is going to collect a rowing machine he purchased on eBay.

Now this should be a laugh!

How long before he sells it?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Don't we look Good!

Yo Ho Woofers!

We're back again!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Did we have a scare last night! There we were, fast asleep, snoozing for all we were worth. Both Holly and I had crept up onto the bed and were sleeping with out heads on Old Two Legs feet when, all of a sudden, and in a very LOUD VOICE, OTL sat up and yelled!

It sort of sounded like  Yaaaagh!

Well, you can imagine what happened next, Holly and I leaped about six feet up in the air and crashed down onto the floor!

'What the????????' says Holly 'Are there Burglars about?'

I said we should look out for Monsters.

Then OTL, just flopped back down onto the pillow and carried on snoring

He was having a dream again! Holly said we should get back onto the bed 'cos that's the safest place to be when he is dreaming 'cos he might fall out of bed again and land on us!

I said that I had a better idea, and we both jumped onto his pillow and proceeded to give him a big 'Wake Up' lick on his little bald head!

Well, he didn't wake up and in the end we decided to go back to sleep, keeping one eye open in case he jumps up again!

Down on the beach this morning both ferrets were into digging holes again and I even stopped by to pass comment on the construction!

OK, Stand by for Inspection!

As the tide was in I decided to have a paddle, just to cool off a bit, you know, Holly actually walked into the water and got her paws wet!

I could almost fancy a swim!

OTL spotted a couple of Pigeon/Dove/White Collared Dove type birds having a snooze on the beach and they didn't move at all as OTL and the ferrets got closer and closer!

Daft Birds nearly got a Ferret Cuddle!

It was only when Snowflake got just too close that they flew off!

Daft Birds!

Back to the car and off to our appointment with the Poodle Parlour!

Now, this is what I looked like before I went in.

Just a little off the back?

At three thirty when OTL came to pick us up, this is what we looked like!

Are we the dogs Doo Dahs or WOT?

Now, you don't get any better than that!


We are off to get out dinner now, also we will mug OTL 'cos he likes being mugged!


See you tomorrow when we will tell you about our dance on the beach!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Busy Busy Day!

Hi Woofers!

We're back, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

You get days when it all starts of slow and restful, then, all of a sudden it seems the world descends on you!

We had one of those days today!

It started when we jumped up on the bed this morning and gave Old Two Legs a 'Good Morning' lick on his head!

Before long we had landed down on the Sea Wall for our morning walk. Mr Brambles was soon digging holes while Miss Snowflake told OTL to 'Walk Slower and not wake her up'!

By the time we got back to the car Mr Brambles was dying of thirst and nearly drunk all the water before Snowflake got to it!

Oh, Glug Glug, Heaven!

Back home we were enjoying our breakfast when the telephone started to ring and that was it, we didn't see OTL again until it was time for our 'Lunch Time Walk'!

Poor OTL, he says he is supposed to be semi retired but the poor lad keeps sitting in the office! You would have thought that he had got rid of the computer and all the other stuff that gives him work and spent all day with us, just enjoying life!

The lunchtime walk was a bit slower than normal. OTL was chasing Bumblebees and Butterflies and Dragonflies!

Standing Guard!

Not that he got any prize winning photos, but it helped by taking his mind of work!

Another Busy Bee!

Holly and I were still getting hot and every shady spot we would collapse onto the ground and wait for OTL to arrive before getting up again!

Shift Over Sis, My Tails Getting Sun-burnt!

It was good to get back home and just lay in the shade listening to the water fountain burble away in the pond!

OTL was still working away but as Holly says, 'He could always join us on the patio!'

Tomorrow it's Hair Cutting time, and I must admit, I'm looking forward to getting rid of some of this hair!

I'm not too fond of the washing and blow drying but I'll put up with it this time while the weather is so hot!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

A Treat For Us!

Hello Woofers!

We are here again, Daisy, Holly Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

You know, there are times when you get a treat and it is just Soooo Goood!

Let me tell you about it.

We started off this morning in our normal fashion, I jump up on the bed and give Old Two Legs a 'Good Morning' lick to get him into gear!

The ferrets were playing in their 'Snowy Heights' home and making a terrible noise rattling the cage door 'cos they wanted their morning slurp of Ferretone!

In the end OTL got up, showered and got his boots on!

We headed off to the Sea Wall where Miss Snowflake stayed wrapped up in OTL's arms while Mr Brambles had a run and a dig on the pathway heading up to the top of the hill.

On the way we met up with Bryn, who we have met before and after a quick 'Hello' he started to take an interest in Mr Brambles who by now was up in OTL's arms keeping out of Bryn's way!

Hey! What do Ferrets taste like?

'OK', says Mr Brambles 'Put me down, please, I need to have a word with Bryn!'

Well, we all looked on as Mr Brambles stood in the middle of the path and waited for Bryn to get closer, and closer he got. In fact he got so close that Mr Brambles jumped forward and hit him on his nose!

We have never seen Bryn move so fast, he went backwards so quickly that he got a 'Mud Burn' on his tail!

We all had a laugh about that and Mr Brambles said that 'We have had our words now, he'll be no further trouble'!

And he wasn't!

Mr Brambles went jogging off and Bryn stayed on the other side of the path, keeping a careful eye on where Mr Brambles was!

Holly and me were Seriously Impressed!

Down on the beach, Mr Brambles decided that he would try his hand at Ditch Digging and proceeded to dig a hole but run backwards at the same time!

I'll change my name to Murphy and go into business digging holes!

 Both the ferrets were jumping about and playing, first Snowflake bit Mr Brambles on the butt, then he nipped her behind the ears and so it went on!

Gotcha Again!

 Back home we had a big bowl of chicken waiting for us which I don't mind admitting, went down a treat!

OTL went off to do his work up in the office so Holly and I settled down for a snooze, but Holly suddenly said, 'We haven't had a chew for ages!'

Off she went and stood behind OTL and woofed, one of her 'I Want Something' woofs!

OTL, being aware of the different woofs we use, turned around and asked Holly what she wants.

Now that's a bit daft 'cos we can't speak Two Legs, we just have to sort of woof and then go to what is wrong or what we want. You know, back door equals wee time or front door means walkies!

Well, OTL followed Holly down stairs and into the kitchen and she sat in front of the 'Goody Cupboard'. Now, it doesn't take a genius to work out what Holly wanted and before long the pack of chews appeared and was being opened by OTL.

Mmmmmmmmm! You could sniff these chews a mile off and pretty soon I was there, standing behind Holly and watching OTL open the pack!

Joy oh Joy! We both grabbed the chews from OTL and rushed off to have a very pleasant gnaw!

You know, there are days when just a little thing causes so much pleasure!

We spent some time having a chew then sort of fell asleep until something told me it was lunch time!

A quick woof at OTL and we were off down to the Sea Wall again. OTL spotted another butterfly sheltering from the stiff breeze blowing in off the sea.

OK, what is it?

 There you go, your starter for ten! I'll give you a hint, you have seen it before on here!

Holly wasn't too happy about the heat, she said that it was just too hot for her and at every shady spot she just had to stop for a while in the shade. You know, she was even walking behind and to the side of OTL 'cos that means she can walk in his shadow!

Roll on Friday!

 We are off to have a rest by the side of the pond so bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly (Hot), Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles (Asleep)!

OTL tries to Fly!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

What a fun day today! We started off by Holly wanting a wee at about three this morning, so Old Two Legs was summoned to the back door and we both had a wander around the garden!

OTL was falling asleep by the back door and didn't see us wander back in and stayed down stairs while we pinched his sleeping place on the bed!

Just lately OTL has been trying the ferrets out with some Lactose free milk and some Goats milk. You see, the ferrets just love milk but the normal semi skimmed milk OTL has on his Wheaty Bangs doesn't agree with their digestive system and causes them to do 'Projectile Pooing'!

So OTL got some Lactose Free and Goats milk to see what works out the best.

The Lactose Free went down a treat and the 'PP' stopped, success!

Then he tried the Goats Milk, not such a big hit with Snowflake, who had a slurp and left the rest. Mr Brambles, being a bit of a Guzzle Guts, drank not only his but finished off Snowflakes milk as well.

Unfortunately, Goats milk doesn't stop the 'PP' like wot Lactose Free does, so there is Snowflake, out on our morning run, having a small dose of the 'PP'.

When we get home, Mr Brambles gets the 'Rumbles In The Tum' and does a bit of 'PP' down the side of OTL's filing cabinet!

OTL not happy about having to move all the cabinets, just to clear up Mr Brambles 'PP'!

This morning, both of the ferrets had the 'Pickle' in them and were jumping around while OTL cleared out their cage, then did the same on our walk, nipping each other and trying to nip us as well!

Gottcha Back! So There!

 Holly and I decided that staying off the beach would be the best option, lets face it, who wants a ferret biting your tail!

No, I'm Staying Up Here!

 They both started digging, Mr Brambles was the most prolific hole digger!

My Hole, so find your own!

 Every time we looked, he was starting on a new hole and at one time his head was under the sand and shells and he was sniffin like mad!

This is going to be a deep hole!

 Holly kept a watch from on top of the Sea Wall and kept me informed of their antics while I had a sniff in the grass!

I don't believe these two!

Back home, while OTL was doing his 'De-Pooing' bit, Snowflake started to attack the cloth he was using. So, there they were, wipe, wipe, nip, nip, jump, jump, wipe, wipe!

Breakfast followed and after that a snooze while OTL went off to do some collecting of radio stuff for repairs.

When he got back, he plonked everything down and rushed to the garage to get out one of the ladders and he climbed up onto the roof!

Now we know that radio antennae work best high up in the air, but what was he going to do?

Holly reckons he wanted to see the ships go by and I thought he was pointing out where North was, but he could have done that from the ground!

Maybe he was going to take a run and try to fly off the roof?

Then out comes The Missus and says ' Hang On while I take a Photo for the insurance company'

I can Fly!

 Insurance? Wot has she got planned?

 I think he was just messing around and when he came back he said he had been doing a small repair to the roof to stop a small leak!

We were getting worried and Holly really thought he was trying to fly!

Down on the Sea Wall there were Bozo Two Legs sitting on the beach watching the mud dry. OTL was running around chasing butterflies but they kept seeing him coming and as he got close, off they went, a quick flutter of the wings and they're half a mile down the path.

A Common Blue about to take off!

Now this one is good, in fact OTL was quite pleased with it as he has not been able to get a photo of it before. It's called an Brown Argus and although not rare, it has eluded him for some time!

Brown Argus

 Back to the car 'cos we were getting a bit warm in the sun shine, we'll be glad to get a hair cut on Friday, if just to get cool again without jumping in the water!

OTL spotted this Bumble Bee and although it  didn't hang around to be identified properly, we think it looks good with the branch curling over the top forming a frame for the bee!

Arty or Wot!

Maybe a Buff Tailed Bumble Bee?

 Off we go now, dinner is about to be served and we don't want to miss out on mugging OTL!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Monday Fun with OTL.

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here with you again!

Now...........First things first.

WE'VE GOT OUR EYE ON YOU FIONA!

The cheek of it!

Line Dancing Carrot Crunchers, indeed!

It was YOU who told Old Two Legs and The Missus about the carrots!

No rain this morning just a damp path, but that didn't stop us from having a good run around after the rabbits!

We even got the ferrets to join in, Mr Brambles stood at one rabbit hole and did his big 'Rabbit Scaring Growl' and Miss Snowflake gnashed her teeth 'cos that is always a good way of getting the rabbits to move!

In the end OTL got fed up with us all running around with no real results, so he called us all off to the beach where we all had a game of 'Hole Digging'!

The run back was good fun and Mr Brambles was running and doing his 'Ferret War Dance' while chasing Miss Snowflake!

Now he is getting some daily exercise, his running is improving no end, he looks just like Snowflake when he is running and his walking is getting better as well!

At home he has started to climb up the side of Snowy Heights which is at least five foot six inches tall!

Mind you, OTL is standing there with cupped hands ready to catch him but so far he hasn't fallen off, which is more than be said for OTL who was always falling off when he was doing his climbing!

When we went out first thing, we spotted a female Mallard duck under our caravan!

We gave it a woof and off it flew but when we came back, there in the garden was a Blackbird digging for worms right by the path and he didn't even move went we all walked past!

I think they are all getting to know that it's a safe place to be in our garden!

After breakfast we all fell asleep, even the ferrets were snoring their heads off while OTL cleared up their Poo Tray!

It's OK, that's only OTL banging the Poo Tray!

Holly said that she didn't really feel like going out just yet 'cos her tummy was too full!

Later, after we woke up, we found that TM had gone to bed 'cos she was 'Just Too Tired'!

More than likely it was too much giggle juice and too much staying up late!

So we let OTL off the 'Grand Adventure' and decided a run on the beach would be a good idea.

When we got down there we bumped into a couple of Two Legs sitting on the wall. Holly had a good sniff and decided there was no food, so they didn't even get a 'Hello'!

No Food, No Ice Cream? No Hello's!

 They were too busy looking at a couple of Thames Barges sailing past, well they weren't exactly sailing 'cos the were going against the wind and didn't have any sails up, so we reckon they both had engines!

Sailing Bye

 Holly decided that while every one was looking at the boats she would have a roll in a super sniff on the beach. I'd never seen her get so excited!

Roll on Baby!

 All this looking at the water was too much for me and before OTL could say anything I rushed into the water just to cool my bits off. It was all OK until a wave came along that lifted my paws off the bottom!

Whoops! That was Deep!

 Holly by now was sitting on the beach and laughing at me!

You're on your own Sis!

 I didn't mind 'cos OTL was there and would have pulled me out!

As we got to the top of the hill, there was a Bozo Two Legs that kept on saying to Holly, 'Come Here Little Doggy'!

Just how daft these Two Legs can be!

No Food, No Strokes!

 We are set for a restful evening, OTL will put on a DVD tonight and TM will fall asleep before it's finished!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

A quiet day after the excitement!

Hi Woofers!

We're here again!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Well, to fill you in on last night. Off they went, all laughing and giggly and they left us at home!
It was most unfair, all we had was water, a few nibbly biscuits  and two bowls of Doggy Scoff!

We were not Happy Puppies!

It was about nine that Auntie Sheila came in and let us out into the garden for a sniff and a wee!

We think she is a wonderful Two Legs!

So, back to snoozing on the sofa, listening to the pond filling up with all the rain that was coming down.

Around midnight in they came, all burps and giggling, especially The Missus!

You know what? They didn't even bring home a doggy bag of goodies from their meal, they finished it all off, including the big chocolate wodge of goo and ice cream, we could smell it on their breath!

That was it, no cuddles for them last night!

This morning all the rain had gone and there was even a bit of sunshine! Mind you, we still had to jump over puddles on the path and the ferrets got lifted up a few times when it got too quaggy!

Down on the beach for a quick dig in the sand and back home to a chicken breakfast followed by a snooze.

We had to go upstairs for a snooze 'cos TM had the F1 racing on, it's so loud!

Lunch time we were out with OTL along the Sea Wall. We woofed at the rabbits and then decided to do a bit of 'Line Dancing' 'cos we hadn't done it for ages. It took a bit of practice but in the end we got the 'Kick' just right!

One, Two, Three, KICK!

We met up with some fishermen but they didn't have any food and hadn't caught any fish, so we didn't stay long sniffin their fishing gear!

No Food, No Fish, No Strokes!

 I got chased by a big Bozo Chocolate Labrador and her mate, a sort of Australian Blue Sheep Dog. Of course, both fell in love with OTL and stuck their wet noses in his ear!

Tarts, the pair of them!

OTL spotted a Gatekeeper and just had to have a couple of snaps, mind you, it looked like it had been in the wars!

Looking a bit weather beaten!

The wind was blowing a bit and being high tide and an on shore wind, there was loads of splashing of the waves!

A BIG Splash!

Then we spotted a what we think was a Grey Plover but we weren't sure and had to look it up in the book when we got home.

Is it......?

When we looked at the book we changed our mind and decided it was a Ringed Plover in eclipse. Now that's a Bird Spotter type of description of the state a bird gets in when it moults its feathers after the breeding season!

A Ringed Plover in Eclipse.

Now, Holly and I are booked into the Doggy Parlour next Friday for our 'Shampoo & Set' and Holly reckons that we are also 'In Eclipse' and I said that the only eclipsing Holly does is when she steps in front of the Sun or Moon 'cos she is so large she eclipses everything!

Holly in Eclipse Mode!

That's when the fight started!

OTL tells us that as it's Bank Holiday, we may go for a drive out tomorrow, so Holly and I are discussing the options and will let OTL know in the morning!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles
