A Day of Dogs!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy here.

It's been a bit of a dismal day today; the sun has been hiding behind the clouds but that hasn't spoilt my day!

This morning The Missus came out with us for a walk. Not sure why she came out, in fact, I can't remember the last time she joined us for a walk, excluding our holiday trips down to Calvary Bay to dig holes in the sand!

First there were the lads who were in the distance, they woofed at me and I woofed back but they were too far away for Hugo to come over to see OTL.

Then, just across the football field who should come charging over to see me?

Devo!

Two days on the trot! We had a game of 'Hunt the Sniff' and while that was going on The Hooligans came bounding up to Devo.

 

 You're a bit sniffy mate!

 They had been out for a run and were a little out of breath but we all had a sniff and the Hooligans told us they were going to have a shower when they got in!

What have you been rolling in? I reckon there is a thick trace of fox in there somewhere!

The Hooligans left us and we headed off to the top path to chase sniffs along the hedgerow where the dragonflies were sleeping, pity we couldn't find one to photograph!

It wasn't long before we had to say good-by to Devo and headed back home.

Bye bye Pint Size!

He always calls me Pint Size!

We got a walk at lunchtime but it was raining on and off all afternoon, so, no more walkies today!

I'll have to take a look at the forecast for tomorrow, sun shine with a bit of luck!

Bye for now.

Daisy.

Sunshine and Devo.

 Hello Woofers.

Daisy here!

It's been a super day today. It started off with me waking OTL up when he was fast asleep. There is nothing like a wet lick to get him moving first thing.

Getting him up early means we will get a visit from Hugo who ran all the way across the football field to say hello to me, have a wee, then say hello to OTL!

      

A sniffing Hugo!

 Of course, that means we have to say hello to all the other woofers and pretend to chase a ball up and down the path. OTL spent some time throwing the ball up and down the path while I kept out of the pounding paws as they fought to get to the ball first!


It's my ball!

I suppose it's OK if you are a gun dog or maybe a Labrador who likes chasing balls but little terrier types like me get fed up pretty quickly and prefer sniffs to balls!

I was walking a little behind OTL when I caught a sniff of a woofer I know......Devo!

It was great having a dance around with him, he doesn't chase silly balls but rather he hunts sniffs, and creates new ones himself!


Mind you, I have to be careful when he has a wee and throws his leg up 'cos he sometimes kicks me!

Most of the time he is careful and we explore any new sniffs we find.
 

Now, I reckon this is a French Bulldog sniff, too much garlic!

Lunchtime we went chasing dragonflies and found a few small ones, not the big Hawker things with wings that sound like helicopter engines!

I tend to buzz rather than roar!

There seems to be not so many of the big dragonflies this year or maybe they will turn up later in the year.

I suppose we will have to put up with the small ones for now.


Well, that's all for now, the rain has stopped, the sun is out and I'm off to say hello to the Taddly Poles!

Bye for now.

Daisy.
