Bye, Bye Pidgeon.

Hello Woofers.

Daisy here.

It's been a bit of a sad day today. OTL and I came down stairs this morning to be accosted by TM who wanted OTL to take the lid off the compost bin and plant the White Pidgeon that had expired early this morning.

Now, that was OK but the lid on the bin was stuck fast on the bin and the lid wouldn't come off!

OTL tugged and prised as gentle as possible and with as much respect until finally the lid flew off and the Pidgeon dived as elegantly as possible into the bin and carried on sleeping!

Having the Pidgeon expire like that is not unusual, when things get cold or it gets to mating time, we often find a bird with its claws in the air and a sleepy look on its face!

Now OTL has been using the same pair of wellie boots all last year, except for when we went away on holiday, so he was in need of a new pair and today TM had delivered a pair of green wellies.

So, come Friday the bin men call and the old wellies will be carted off, safe in the knowledge that they may be cracked but they are still water proof!

The pond was covered in ice so the pump wasn't working, maybe tomorrow.

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

 

A Thousand Years Old!

Hello Woofers,

Daisy Dog here.

It's OTL's birthday today and this morning I got up onto the bed and jumped up and down on his head singing a birthday song wot I made up.

It went something like this.

Happy Birthday OTL

My Gawd wot a smell

Have you just poo'd the bed 

Or have you wee'd on your pillow last night?

There now, it may not rhyme but at least it got him up! Not as early as we expected but earlier than yesterday!

It’s been cold today; the pond has frozen and the birds have had to wait for TM to break the ice before they get a drink.

We plan to get a Chinese Take-a-Way tonight, well, it will save having to do the washing up afterwards!

So, here we are another year has gone by and OTL is another year older and the year has started again and on top of that we are looking forward to Spring time!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy.

Minus 5 degrees tomorrow and counting!

Hello Woofers.

Daisy Dog here.

Got up this morning and there was about six inches of frost on the car screen. So, instead of a walk down at Grain we went instead around the back of the house and across the football field for the first walk and I was pleased to report a good bowel movement, in fact it was so good I even hung about to show The Missus wot a good girl I am!

Mind you, she didn't think so when I decided to go out at lunchtime, just a wee was all I wanted and a breath of fresh air!

It was getting close to two degrees today but I can see by the forecast that it is due to drop over the next couple of days to minus five degrees!

Cold or wot?

TM was planning to do some cards today but decided to leave it until tomorrow as a special pressie for OTLs birthday!

Now, I’ve got until tomorrow morning to come up with a suitable 'Happy Birthday' song that befits an old duffer like OTL!

You can all help me?

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy.
