Saturday With OTL

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Well, we had plans for a fun day today, you know, a run through the woods and maybe a swim in the Swimming Hole in the New Park, followed by a run along the beach.

Then back home for a meal of Lambs Heart and an afternoon snooze while OTL gets on with the decorating.

The plans went out the window around three this morning!

Holly woke Old Two Legs up, she needed to get out into the garden 'cos she had a tummy upset. Possibly from something we sniffed or chewed on yesterday!

By the time OTL had done his morning exercise on the rowing machine I was getting the 'Grumbly Tum' as well. I told OTL that I needed to get out, like as soon as possible, even if it's seven fifteen!

That meant he didn't get his breakfast and the ferrets didn't get their morning run but they did get their milk 'cos OTL put it in their cage before taking Holly and me out.

We got down to the Sea Wall and I just managed to get into the long grass in time!

Phew! It was close!

Although we didn't have the ferrets with us we still had a good run and OTL managed to get a few shots of the sun climbing up over Sheerness!

Here comes the Sun!

 Then as we got to the point where we turn to go back to the car the sky changed as the sun poked its face out from behind the clouds.

Good Morning Sheerness!

 We caught up on some sniffs and even woofed at a couple of Gulls as they flew over!

Hey! This ones new!

 Back home to see The Missus disappearing out of the front door with Auntie Sheila and a ton of card making stuff. 'I've done the dogs food' she said as the door crashed shut.

Off we went to investigate....................YUK! YUK! YUK!

Yep, you guessed Doggy Scoff!

We're getting the ferrets out tonight!

Talking of ferrets, OTL has got some 'Ferret Bits', they are a sort of 'Treat' which both of them just love! They are small squares of stuff filled with a malt type of middle, which they also love!

OTL gave one to each of them and Snowflake went off and crunched her way through hers and was having a super time.

Mr Brambles on the other hand managed to get his stuck between his teeth in the roof of his mouth and was doing some strange waving of his head to try to dislodge it, without success. OTL spotted this head waving and picked Mr Brambles up, opened his mouth and prised the  offending treat out. Trouble was, he left his finger in Mr Brambles mouth just half a second too long and as his jaws came together one of his fangs buried it's self into OTL's finger!

Mr Brambles finished off the treat first then climbed up OTL's shirt and gave him a lick on his nose to say 'Thanks and Sorry' all at the same time!

Lunch time we all went out together and the ferrets had a super time digging in the grass and trying to chase Holly!

Well, I reckon it's a Weasel!

 We could almost hear them, 'Lets, pretend that we are not interested in them and when they get close enough........we'll have them!'

Just pretend you don't see them!

 Of course, we saw them and stayed well down the beach and carried on Snifin' the Sniffs!

Just how silly do they think we are?

 We 'Out Foxed' them and Snowflake was the first to give up and head back to the car!

Come on, back to the car!

 It was sunny but a bit windy however it wasn't too cold and the ferrets enjoyed the run even if it was in the middle of their midday snooze!

We all had a good afternoon watching the F1 on the TV and snoozing!

The Missus has just come in after her Crop and was all full of a 'wonderful day' with her 'Glue & Glitter' girls.

Whatever turns you on!

So, we're off to do some mugging 'cos we can sniff meat being cooked, so that means goof muggings tonight!

How is Archie Babe? Did he do a Cocoa and take a lump out of the vet or did he succumb to the 'Foody Bribes!

See you tomorrow and let's hope the rain stays away, we need the sun!

Bye for now,

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

OTL's Still Messing About!

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Hey! Guess wot? There was no rain here today! Up and down the coast there were showers but on our patch, wind and some sun shine!

That made it great for our morning walk along the beach. Snowflake even got into the mood and started to dig a hole!

My Hole!

Of course, Mr Brambles was in ferret heaven, digging his own hole!

His Hole!

 Holly and I were running up and down the beach woofing out that it was 'OUR BEACH'!

This belongs to us!

After a good game of chase we ran back to where the ferrets were digging. As normal, as soon as we got close to Mr Brambles, he came running up to us to play 'Chase' as well!

You know, I reckon that Mr Brambles has got a good chance of becoming an 'Honorary Dog'. Well lets face it, he digs holes like a dog, sniffs Snowflake's tail like a dog, has a wee with one back leg in the air, just like a dog and he chases us as well, just like a dog!

On top of that, he can be a real 'Bozo' when he puts his mind to it, just for a laugh!

It wasn't long before we all headed for home with both of the ferrets trying to set a trap for Holly and I but we heard them planning so we just ran off!

We'll jump out at the top of the stairs!

Back home OTL prepared our breakfast of Chicken and Biscuits 'cos The Missus was too busy making stuff for her next 'Master Class' tomorrow!

As normal, we got a little Chicken Stock drizzled over our meal and after OTL had stirred it all up, there was a little at the bottom of the bowl being soaked up by the biscuits!

Well, lunch time came and we woofed OTL to take us out, even though he was watching the F1 Practise One and off we went for another run down on the Sea Wall.

We didn't notice it first of all but he is still playing with the Infrared Thingy and took some seriously strange  photos!

Sheerness with Infrared!

We didn't mind 'cos he had given us our breakfast and served it up just as we liked it.

You know what? We even stood still so he could take our picture, a real pose!

This is our 'Cool' look!

Back home OTL moved my bed into the office and I had a super snooze almost all afternoon, it was just like old times when I used to spend all day with OTL in the office, but that was when I was a puppy!

TM is off tomorrow, so we will have OTL to ourselves tomorrow to bully him if we want to do anything but we will need to check on the weather before telling him we want to go to the forest!

There on the other paw, he may have another bash at the decorating thing! I think he is regretting starting the scraping 'cos he has to remove a layer of paint that is covered with a rubber glue!

Poor OTL!

Hey! What about Archie Babe? I wonder if he got Chicken to eat at the vets or was it Doggy Scoff? Let's hope it all went well and he managed to come out with 'Flying Colours' and an 'All Clear'!

Claws Crossed Archie Babe!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles .

Go, Go, Cocoa!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Wot good news about Cocoa, TWO BITES at the vets! She's our sorta Girl!

Super news on the gland removal, now she's just got to grow back the hair. It took Snowflake a while to get her tummy back to being fully covered after her operation and Mr Brambles looks like he will spend some time growing his hair back but by the next moult it should all be back to normal!

Talking about normal, we went down the Sea Wall for a walk this morning and as normal, it was raining just as we left home. Old Two Legs said that he had looked at the Doppler Radar and by the time we get down there the rain will have stopped and providing we didn't hang about too much, we should be back in the car before it starts again. You know what? He was right!

If you want to have a look log onto http://weather2day.com/radar/southuk/5  It gets very pretty when there is rain, ice and snow at the same time!

The wind was blowing from the North East  and you could see the rain clouds being blown in but we made it back to the car with just the mud on our paws from the puddles!

Mr Brambles had time for a quick hole while we waited for Snowflake to wake up!

Wotcha Think of This Hole?

I spotted a Rainbow just off shore but it didn't hang about and it didn't get too bright. OTL said that it may have been fun to try photographing it with the Infrared Thingy 'cos we can see so many colours but hen there is Infrared as well, wonder what colour Infrared is, Red?

See the Rainbow?

Holly was having fun facing into the wind and having her hair blown back. At one time she opened her mouth a bit and the wind blew her cheeks all over the place! OTL and I thought it was so funny but Holly refused to have he photo taken like that 'cos she said it would 'Spoil Her Image'!

Windy!

As Snowflake said, 'Well, at least this way it stops her Yapping!'

Back home we had Lambs Heart waiting for us, Yummy! It looks like the threat of bringing the ferrets to bed with us might have just attracted TM's attention, but for how long?

We spent the morning snoozing or woofing at the Collared Doves who were playing in the garden.

We know how to enjoy ourselves!

Lunch time came and another look at the Doppler Radar and we were off! It was still raining as we got to the car park but after a couple of minutes, the rain stopped and we were off. The rain was coming down the North Sea and it looked horrid!

The sooner we get home the better!

No rain but windy and Holly just refused to do her 'Flappy Cheek' trick!

Back home for an afternoon snooze on the bed and plan what we will be doing tonight, mugging dinner will be one and then Shortbread mugging will be number two and three is carrot crunching and if we get really lucky there will be some Chicken Fillets as well!

Off we go, there are noises coming from the kitchen!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Wet, Cold and Icy!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

I don't know what it's like where you are but down here in North Kent it is Horrid!

We were out this morning first thing and the wind was blowing and little bits of rain were stinging our eyes when we looked up to see where Old Two Legs had got to!

The ferrets were OK, Snowflake snuggled down into OTL's arm and Mr Brambles was walking up and down OTL's arm trying to decide when to get off for a sniff and a dig!

Mind you, when we got to the beach, Holly and I enjoyed a quick dig and a rush up and down the beach and that warmed us up a treat!

The ferrets had a little scrabble in the sand, a quick wee, and headed back to the car!

They were all warmed up by the time they got back!

OTL decided not to get the camera out 'cos the rain was still coming down!

Back home we had another rub down to dry off and headed towards the kitchen for our breakfast.

At the door we both stopped, then we sniffed, Oh No! It's Doggy Scoff! After all our educating she has done it again!

You know, OTL never gives us Doggy Scoff, it's only The Missus!

No cuddles tonight!

We had a snooze on the bed while OTL was playing about with the Infrared Thingy on his camera. He put a 35mm lens on and opened it right up to f3.2 and then waited for Snowflake to wake up and ask if she could have a run around the office.

Can I come out to play?

We thought that it was funny that her eyes changed colour from red to black but OTL says that's due to processing on the computer!

Lunchtime we went out again 'cos I needed a poo and as soon as we got there it started to rain, then lumps of ice arrived, horizontally!

I was OK 'cos I was in the long grass and bracken but OTL and Holly were still on the path, they got soaked! Well, Holly got soaked 'cos OTL had all his 'Wet Weather Gear' on, you know, the stuff he uses when he was doing his 'Munro Bagging'.

Holly was not happy and headed back to the car where OTL had one of our towels. She got a rub down first then woofed for OTL to get the car heater going!

Back home we headed back to the bed and crashed out for the afternoon, snuggled up in an old fleece!

OTL went back to reading bits of paper and looking in the Internet and then writing stuff in his  'Book of Knowledge' where he makes notes about 'how to do things' regarding his camera stuff.

So, we still haven't touched The Scoff, that is the last resort if we don't get any good muggings tonight!

Now, do you remember that PeterC was going to take his ferret Coca to have a wart removed, (like Mr B had) but we've not heard how it went and Snowflake is getting worried!

So, come on Peter, how is Coca?

We are off now 'cos we can hear plates being rattled together and that means 'Food' unless it's TM unloading the dish washer!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Winter is a Coming!

HI Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles are back with you again!

We had Chicken this morning! We are wondering if The Missus has finally got the message!

Mr Brambles was absolutely full of it this morning,  he was jumping all around the office chasing Snowflake and Old Two Legs, then he escaped from the office and went scurrying around the bedroom looking for Holly so she could have a nibble of her tail!

It was just the same when we went out for our walk, Holly and I were having a sniff and suddenly Mr Brambles dashed out from behind the hill of shells and chased after us!

Here's Mr B!

We of course have got used to him trying to play his 'Nipping Game' and of course we had our eyes open and managed to escape!

He even had a go at Snowflake but she got all 'Uppity' and chased him away! By the time she had got rid of him her tail was all up like a Bottle Brush!

Bottle Brush Butt!

Now that was fun to see!

Back home OTL started to get all his tools out and explained that he had to go out on a 'job', more Dustbin Lorries!

Now, you know OTL is a sucker for anything that looks like a Gizmo or a 'Different' way of playing with his cameras, well, he has been reading up on Infrared Photography!

So we know what's coming! Today he started 'Doing his Thing'!

Out the back window!

Now, you may not be impressed with this sort of photography but there is a plan here!

This is how the picture comes out of the camera!

Me in IR!

 So, from the picture above we can see that the sea doesn't emit infrared light but the grass looks interesting!

Holly and I had a run in the grass to show off the funny colour the plants but he was playing with the compensation setting which in the end really confused him!

You look like Mr Brambles colour!

 Next he tried a 'Sky and Grass' shot which looked like it could have some interesting tweaking on the computer!

Now, where is the Photoshop Instruction Manual?

 We will have to let him get into 'Play Mode' over the next few days and see what he can produce!

While OTL was out working, Sue and Michael dropped into see us and TM and they brought us a present, Holly and Me that is, we each had a crisp crunchy carrot!

Of course, as soon as Holly got hers I wanted to have a taste but Holly didn't like that idea and grumbled at me!

I'll get it later on tonight, when she gets up on OTL's seat for a cuddle and a snooze!

So, be prepared for OTL playing with the camera and putting up some really strange pictures!

Come on, it makes a change from Fungi!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Wot a FEAST!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

We have had some fun today! It started off this morning when we decided to wake Old Two Leg up 'cos he was over sleeping!

Holly and I jumped up on the bed and gave his head a good lick and Holly set about his nose and between us we woke him up.

Then he rolled over onto his back and went to sleep again!

Holly and I were just about out of licks so we snuggled down next to him and had an extra hours snooze! Holly, cheeky Pup, snuggled right up under his arm and put her head onto his shoulder, now that's a 'Serious Cuddle'!

Mr Brambles and Snowflake were busting to get out 'cos they missed out of their walk yesterday so they were rattling on the cage  door to be let out!

It was a bit muggy down on The Sea Wall, dull, overcast and a misty rain.

Not that it worried Holly and I but Snowflake did protest a bit and Mr Brambles didn't make such a fuss about getting down onto the ground until OTL had got almost to the beach!

Come on, do a wee and let's get back to the car!

While we were on the beach a couple of Boarder terriers came past us on the Sea Wall and they were on a lead. So we woofed at them and they woofed at us and we woofed at them and they woofed at us!

It was great fun!

Snowflake and Mr Brambles couldn't see the woofers so were a bit worried in case they wanted to jump down from the wall and land on top of them!

Woof Off or I'll be up to Sort You Out!

Snowflake got all big and brave, she fluffed herself up as far as she could go and shouted out that they should Woof Off!

We are not sure if it worked or not but at the moment she had finished shouting, the dogs stopped woofing and were dragged away by their owner.

As Mr Brambles said, 'You don't mess with Snowflake when she Fluffs Up!

I must admit, we were very quiet as well!

No, I didn't say a woof, it must be someone else!

Now, yesterday Michael said that we would have loads of Fungi photo's to look at, well, just so he is not disappointed here is one OTL took on Sunday, just the one you will get today!

Stag's Horn Fungus

We got back home and The Missus put down a bowl of Lambs Heart for us but neither Holly or I felt hungry, so we left it for later. As normal, TM took it as a personal insult that we didn't eat the heart straight away. She stomped off mumbling about us being too picky for our own good!

Do we care? If you're not hungry, then you're not hungry, nuffin' we can do about it!

Well, as some sort of punishment we were left at home while OTL and TM went off to do some shopping, not that it worried us 'cos we both had a good snooze on the bed while they were out!

Lunch time we were down the Sea Wall again but the weather hadn't got any better and Holly reckons that we could even get some snow later this week!

OTL had brought his big camera with him but had forgot to change the lens over, so all he had was the 50mm f1.8 which as he says is a 'Fast Lens' but not good for zooming in on distant things. So, just to help out, Holly and I went ZOOOOOM1 towards OTL while he crouched down to take our picture!

Me, doing a ZOOOOM!

We were having fun Zoooming for OTL but around the corner we bumped into that Bozo Labrador that always wants to sniff our bottoms and when we growl at him he starts to get all 'Showy Off'!

Well, this time OTL was down on his knees waiting for us when The Bozo ran up in front of OTL saying 'Wot You doing Mister?'

Just at that moment OTL pressed the shutter release and 'Click' we got a Bozo's nose and everything else is fading into Bokeh!

Woof Off Bozo!

For some reason OTL liked this photo of the Bozo and his Big Nose!

 Holly and I get past him and carry on our ZOOOOMING for OTL. This time we all voted that Holly did the best Zooom  on the Sea Wall!

A ZOOOM with Style!

 Back home TM had been busy, no, not making cards but instead she had cooked up the left overs from OTL's massive 'Batch Curry Cook Up' that TM did yesterday or was it Friday? Well, anyway, she cooked these scraps and put them down in our bowls for us to find and of course, we found them and they didn't hang around for long, chomp, chomp and there we were with big full tummy's and an empty bowl.

Now, if only she would do that instead of dishing up that Doggy Scoff, you know she would get a cuddle every night!

Not sure what's for dinner tonight but we will have fun mugging OTL all the same!

Michael and Sue plan to drop in tomorrow, so that will be fun, more chance of some muggings!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake & Mr Brambles!

Wot A Day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here again!

We have had a real 'Mix Up Day' today!

It started off with The Missus taking us for a walk across The Fields instead of Old Two Legs taking us and the ferrets down the beach!

Then, when we got back, OTL had disappeared! I mean, like Gone!

We were left in the house all alone until the Boys ( Matt & Tom) came in from the caravan where they have been sleeping. We had a bit of a game and watched a bit of TV (Boring) before going up the Village Hall where TM was doing one of her Master Classes.

No sign of OTL but we had some fun running around the hall and sliding on the polished floor on our bottoms!

TM was doing her 'I'm in charge' bit and we had to sit on our blankets (boooring!)

Holly started to show off and began to woof at every noise, so much so that TM got all 'Showy Off' and said that Holly was a Naughty Puppy!

Still no sign of OTL.

In the end we sort of gave up and had a snooze, but we weren't happy, no games and no walkies on the beach and no ferrets and no OTL!

The afternoon was long and boring and Holly got into trouble again!

In the end we were taken home and had to spend the afternoon snoozing on the sofa (hard work), but at least we could go up stairs and have a chat to the ferrets who wanted to know why they didn't get their walk this morning.

We couldn't help them 'cos we were mystified as well!

About ten minutes ago OTL came home, it seems he has been out with a load of other photographers taking pictures of fungi, all day!

He has been crawling around the forest, on his knees, in all the mud and bracken taking pictures!

He says we can have a look at this one but he needs time to 'Process' the others!

Stag Horn Fungi

Now we are off to do some mugging 'cos all we have had today is DOGGY SCOFF!

YUK! YUK! YUK!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Food Wonderful Food!

Hello Woofers!

It's Us, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles back with you again!

What a wonderful day today! We got Old Two Legs to do the cooking of our breakfast, Chicken & Biscuits, he cooked it just how we like it. It was warm and all the skin was there and he had cut it up into doggy sized bites, then to finish off he drizzled some of the chicken stock over it all and there was enough left so we could lick it off the bottom of the bowl!

We went out for our walk this morning and the ferrets came as well, as normal, but they didn't want to get down until a bit later than normal 'cos it was a bit drafty!

Snowflake fluffed herself up to keep warm but in doing that she looked twice the size she normally is, in fact Holly said she could even be expecting babies!

It's just a Fluffy Belly, Honest!

 We all had a game on the beach, then it was back to the car before we got cold again!

Come on, back we go!

 At lunch time, we stopped off at the Master Class to drop some stuff off to The Missus, there were all the Glue & Glitter Gang there sloshing the glue pots about!

Holly wandered around saying 'Hello' and 'Got any Sandwiches?' but it looks like they had eaten them all!

Food? No Food, No Strokes!

We tried on some rain coats but they were not what OTL wanted for us. Then Archie's Mum got out his rain coat, it was great! It slipped over our heads and then went under our chest and strapped across our back! That way we wouldn't get so wet running through the grass!

So after trying them on OTL asked if he could buy two coast, Medium sized and we could  have them for Christmas!

Now, there was one thing that I was puzzled about, what was Archie's Mum doing with Archie's coat and no Archie!

Still, we tried the coats on and when she gets the coat back to Archie, he will have our sniff on it!

After the lunchtime walk, OTL went off to play with his camera stuff. Boring I know but last night he was reading up on the instruction manual for the 'Close Up Flash Light' he brought a while ago. Now, OTL is not really into Instruction Manuals, but you can tell just how bored he must have been last night! Still, it did him some good 'cos he learn't two new things and one of them was to do with the flash light.

You see, normally when you use the camera and the flash unit, the light spreads all over the place and it is difficult to control. So OTL had read somewhere about Auto FP High Speed Sync. Yeah, I know, boring innit!

What it means is he can use a much higher shutter speed than normal 500th second instead of the 125 or 250th second. Now this setting gives you a shallow depth of field and just  highlights the subject and it also gives good Bokeh, (fuzzy background)!

Have a look at this.

Mr Snoozy!

 I think OTL is going to be playing with this a lot over the next few days!

TM has to be taught a lesson and Archie's Mum reckons that if we shove the ferrets up the duvet when she is asleep, that should get her attention and that way we will not get any Doggy Scoff again!

We'll try that tonight!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

We are alive................just!

Hi Woofers!

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

You know, it was touch and go if we would have made it through the night, we were starving, we didn't have the strength to move at all. It was only Mr Brambles and Snowflake tossing Ferret Nuggets out of their cage that kept us going, It was Hell, but we survived, Just!

We went out for our morning walk and although it wasn't raining, it was windy! It was also cold and you could tell how cold it was 'cos both ferrets stayed tucked up together in Old Two Legs arms all the way down to the beach!

Even Mr Brambles said it was cold and normally a bit of chill doesn't worry him!

This sand is as Hard as Ice!

 We all had a good sniff around and Holly found a fishy sniff on the beach that we were both tempted to have a roll in but OTL was just too close!

Wadda You reckon? Squid?

 Mr Brambles suggested a game of 'Chase the Sea Weed' but every time he threw it in the air the wind blew it away!

Well, you try to throw it then!

 In the end we all decided that a warm bed and some breakfast would be a better bet, so off we went and headed back to the car!

I've had enough, I'm off  home!

 When we got back there was some lambs heart in our bowls, it was a bit cold, not like the warm stuff OTL serves up, still, it's better than Doggy Scoff! Still, we still reckon it is a good idea to give The Missus a good 'Hand Bagging' just so she remembers to feed us properly!

You know, in the mornings OTL has breakfast in his office 'cos he lets the ferrets out for a run around and a bowl of their Lactose Free Milk. You know what? Mr Brambles finishes his milk first, goes over and robs Snowflake of the last few licks of milk in the bottom of her bowl and after that, he goes and mugs OTL for a drip or two of OTL's milk from his 'Rabbit Food'!

You know, Mr B is really good at mugging, almost as good as us doggies!

Go on, just another Milky Finger, Pleeese!

Holly says that the way he is going he could be put forward as a candidate for the title of 'Honorary Dog'!

I'll have to think about that one!

Back from the walk OTL got going again on the decorating bit, not his favourite job! In the end he had to give up 'cos his back was hurting!

So, here we are, OTL has gone out for the evening and TM in cooking up a batch of curry!

We are waiting for Matt & Thomas to come 'cos they are staying the weekend, so that should be fun and we are going to be allowed to go to visit TM's Master Class as well!

Must dash 'cos there must be some off cuts from the curry meat that we can mug!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Back to decorating...........again!

Hi Woofers!

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

This morning, we were curled up on Old Two Legs bed, gently snoozing when OTL rolled out of bed and headed towards the office! The alarm had been turned off, (We're sure The Missus did it!) but OTL is conditioned to wake up at the same time each morning if he wants to get his daily dose of pain and sweat!

Just to get him going, Holly and I crept into the office just as he was sitting down on the rowing machine. We both jumped up onto his lap and gave him a 'Good Morning' lick!

That got him going and we headed back to bed, well we're not all that daft!

The sun was up so after OTL had thrashed around for forty minutes wearing himself out, he had a shower and got dressed and then had breakfast with the ferrets, afterwards we were off to the Sea Wall!

Snowflake was doing her 'Cuddle Me' bit but Mr Brambles was all up for a game.

First of all he crept along the bottom of the Sea Wall, we were all doing our own thing and didn't take too much notice.

Here we go..........creepy creepy!

 Mr Brambles had it in his mind to creep up on one of us and do his 'Nip Yer Legs' trick!

So, there I was, sniffin' the sniffs and checking out the sea weed stuck in the rocks when........

I've almost gotcha!

He came flying up at the last moment but I was just too quick for him! In a flash I had jumped forward and left him looking at a rock instead of my back leg!

Next he went off to Holly and the pair of them had a game of 'Grab the Sea Weed'! The idea is that you both stand six feet away from the Sea Weed Ball and count down 3-2-1-GO!

3  -  2  -  1   -

Mr Brambles is a 'Past Master' at this game and has developed a trick of letting you get to the ball first, then he jumps up and bangs his head on your nose!

He always wins!

Holly and I had a game as well and I tried the trick, but Holly had decided to use the trick as well!

It's the Mr B Move! On Yer Head Mate!

 Mr Brambles was watching and was chuckling away to himself, in the end he called out that he would play us both, at the same time!

I'll take both of you on........at the same time!

We declined, we're not that brave!

Back home it was Doggy Scoff, again, Yuk! YUK! YUK!

Will she never learn? She opens a tin of scoff, puts it in our bowl, we don't eat it, she throws it away.

Wast of money buying Doggy Scoff, should have spent it on Chicken bits, especially as they are the same price!

Lunch time we were off down the town with OTL, then afterwards we stopped at the New Park. Loads of fun chasing a tennis ball OTL found in a puddle! It was OK until OTL threw it and it bounced in a pile of poo. Now, with that on the ball there was no way I'm picking it up with my mouth! So OTL had to wipe it off and wash it in another puddle!

We spotted a couple of dogs in the most colourful jackets we've seen for a long time, Holly just couldn't stop herself from laughing!

I bet you support Manchester United!

OTL started taking 'Moody' shots of The Watchers, we just carried on chatting to the other doggies we met!

Here's Watching You Kid!

I don't know what it is with OTL, he suddenly stops and pokes the camera towards the clouds and clicks away!

Another 'Moody' shot!

While he was playing with the camera I had a word with one of the young cows and told her all about TM and the scoff, 'Well' she said, 'There's no way you would get me eating that stuff!'

No Scoff for me!

Holly whispered in my ear that some of the scoff might be cow and wasn't that a bit like cannibalism?

That Holly is so terrible sometimes!

It was a good run and although it is getting a bit colder it was still worth going all that way 'cos there is so much grass we can run on and it's so full of sniffs!

Mind you, OTL kept us away from the Swimming Hole, spoil sport, I just fancied a quick splash but I suppose it would have been a bit cold afterwards and we didn't have a towel with us either!

Back home and the scoff sniffed just as bad as when we left it to go out.

Looks like we will be starving tonight, wasting away, we'll be a couple of transparent doggies tomorrow, we will have faded away to nothing!

See you tomorrow, if we make it through the night!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles
