Hop Along Holly!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret back again.

Remember the walk we had yesterday? Well, there were dried up holes in the earth made by cattle who had been dancing in the mud when it was all wet and soggy.

Now that it has all dried up, wot we got is dry, hard, dangerous holes that Holly trod in and hurt her paw!

So, yesterday afternoon she was limping around the lounge and looking sorry for herself.

She had a cuddle with Old Two Legs, which made it a bit better and then she curled up on the chair with him to watch the 'Dolly Parton' show from the Grand Ole Opery!

Well, there he was with the TV sound set on 'Mute' and the music was coming through his ear phones.

He was singing and bopping around on the chair with Holly joining in the chorus!

This morning we went for our walk and Holly had only a small limp, so, no visit to the vet for some gold tablets. Well, actually they are not made of gold, it's just the price is equal to the price of gold!

We enjoyed a snoozy morning, until lunchtime, when we headed off to the beach. We decided to go there cos OTL had a package to post and the beach walk wasn't full of holes, so, Holly won't hurt her paw any more!

You know, I reckon sniffs are better than email!

 We started off on the grass and then walked along the wall which is good for keeping our claws in trim, providing we scrape them on the concrete!

Scrape, Scrub, and just Drag a claw!

 We got to the beach and enjoyed a good dig in the sand just to take the edges off the claws and then finish up with a good roll in the beach sniffs!

Synchronised Sniff Rolling!

 The sky has a dusting of clouds that break up the blue. We will have to get up really early to catch the sunrise but I suppose that will happen around October time.

Now, don't that just look pretty?

 Holly was dragging her tail and OTL and I got a bit further down the path than Holly. Finally she caught up and trotted down the path without a sign of a limp!

Look! No limping!

Just around the corner there was a carpet of Cowslip plants waving about in the wind. The Missus reckons they are a protected plant but we have looked up on the Government web site and see that it's not mentioned at all!

A Non-protected species?

Because we got up a little later than normal, OTL woke up a little later than normal and so he missed out on his row around the office. After a lunch of salad and meat he climbed onto the machine and set about splashing his way upstream!

We, of course, fell asleep and only woke up when we heard the plates tinkle onto the desk and he set about 'Eating Healthily'!

Boring or wot?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Auf der Suche nach einem U-Boot!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

What a change in the weather today, gone is the sunshine and warm breeze. The clouds are low and grey looking.

Altogether, not a nice day!

Old Two Legs got up a bit late, so that means the morning walk was late and he didn't have his morning row around the office!

It was after the Ferrets had been out for a rampage and their cages cleaned that OTL finally ran out of excuses and he was told to get on the rowing machine!

The ferrets thought it was a great joke and blew raspberries at him through the cage bars while Holly was roaring her tail off and kept jumping onto OTL's lap to give him a lick on his nose!

 Soon it was lunchtime and we decided to go for a walk before lunch.

As we headed off towards Grain, OTL stopped at a small car park then walked us across the road and along the top of the Thames Wall!

There was a big pond thing full of water and we spotted five Canada Geese paddling around trying to keep out of the wind. We haven't seen any Canada Geese down at Grain for some time and only some Brant Geese wot looks like Canada Goose!

No, not Brant!

 The tide was out and as we walked along the top of the wall, OTL told us about the German Submarine that was parked up along the bank somewhere. Well, we looked for it in the shallows but nothing.

Holly said she thought it was over near the cranes but we couldn't see anything.

Well, there's nothing over there!

Then we looked a bit further out into the River Medway but there was nothing to see. OTL reckons it is a bit further around the headland but as the wind was blowing a force Eight gale, we decided to leave that for another day!

Kein U-Boot!

Well, there’s is no submarine to see but we can come back another day to search.

In the mean time we can have a sniff and a taste of goose poo!

Look! A big drop of poo!

It was great to have somewhere different to have a run and there

Look! A big drop of poo!

It was great to have somewhere different to have a run and there were new sniffs to sniff!

OTL has promised that we can go back there again and if the wind drops, we will go further around to see if we can see the submarine!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
