They took the old car away!

Image
 Hello Woofers, Daisy here. If I've told her once. then I've told her a dozen times,  Don't stick your nose into my ear! This Woofer called Amber really needs some instructing on how a woofer should behave when in a pack! She may think that just because she is all cuddly and cute but she keeps jumping upon OTL leg and making his coat all muddy! We are off tomorrow morning to have a test drive and if OK OTL will buy the car. I'll have to wait until comes home 'cos woofers are not allowed to sit on the back seat until the finance side has been done! I'll have to sit in the back with my harness and stuff and try to find a comfortable position to snooze! I'm off to bed now, thing messing about with the clocks is a right pain in the tail! Luv, Daisy.

Brrrm Brrrm!

 Hello Woofers, Daisy Here. It's been a funny old day. We were expecting the fog to lift but even though we were late in getting down to the beach the fog was still there when we arrived! We could only just see Southend on Sea and the cable ships had moved out into the channel. We decided that it was better if we stuck to the forest path and I led OTL down one of the paths we don't often use cos it' has got a muddy path down the hill! Come on OTL you can slide down like you are on a skate board! When we got home OTL was on to the insurance company to see what was happening about the car.  Seems they have decided to scrap it without telling us! Now we live in the wilds of Allhallows and while you can get about, having a car makes life easier! OTL has a good relationship with a local dealer and with TM in tow off they went to see what margins were on offer. After about an hour and a half OTL finally made up his mind and subject to a few minor tests it looks like we will be dr...

I'm going to sort Amber out soon!

 Hello Woofers, Daisy here again. We missed the sunrise today and the clouds were rather thick and grey. Looking over to Southend you get an idea of the conditions! We met up with The Lads who were having fun chasing their ball. it made me jump when from out of the crowd came a little squirt of a woofer called Amber who wanted to play with me! Now I don't mind a game but she hasn't got the idea of being gentle yet. Let's play a game Miss, come on I'll chase you? Well, it went on for a while and there were times when I had to give her the warning woof when she tried the old wet nose trick! Lucky for me we walk a little quicker that The Lads and soon we were looking at fungi by the side of the path. If left alone this fungi will bloom into a large head but of course it could get attack by a mouse or rat! I thought that Chewie's problem with the food was similar to OTL's. TMs Cooking! Let's face it TM is the only TL we know who can burn lettuce! Now I'd bet...

I've been stabbed again!

 Hello Woofers, Diddly Daisy here. Sorry we missed the blog yesterday but OTL got into a marathon binge of Star Wars and he forgot my blog until it was to late! Yesterday we met up with Barney II, we had not seen him for ages and of course, he was all over OTL like a rash! The raft is the only one left out on the mud flats, a floating workshop! Today I bumped into The Lads and the new woofer who is calledAmber. She was all over OTL and even gave him a lick on his nose!  I had to have a word with her, just to put her in the picture, OTL is mine and only I get to lick his nose! And you can get your nose away from my butt! Don't worry Daisy, we'll keep an eye on her and teach her some manners! This morning after the walk I got bundled into the car and marched off to the vet for a pull and poke around and a stabbing!  Well he inspected every bit of my tummy, listened to my heart but I must admit I was uncomfortable when he stabbed me!  After he had finished I legged it o...

I get strapped in!

Image
 Hello Fans Daisy Here! Wot a silly day so far, OTL got up for a wee and managed to step on my tail! It was a good job he didn't have his boots on but rather bare foot and of course I let him know he had done it by giving him the biggest woofing growl you could imagine! Well, if we ignore the woofing bit we managed to get down the sea front to catch the sunrise. By the way, that's not OTL but rather a passing walker that has lost his woofer! Mind you, we may have missed the sun but we managed to get the After Burn (Technical Speak) We were surprised with the weather cos it's much warmer than normal, mind you OTL still goes out in his wellies and coat! We had a surprise pressie from Chewie in the post today, a strap to connect me to my harness.                              Thanks Chewie! We should be hearing from the menders or even the insurance company soon and we will find out if the car will get mended or...

Much sucking of teeth!

Image
Hello Woofers, Daisy here. Lazy Friday here in North Kent. I tried waking OTL up good and early this morning but he was being a bit lazy and so was The Missus I tried sitting on OTL's head and gave him a good licking then I kicked TM in the back of the head but neither of them moved and it was only when I woofed out that the dustbin men were entering the village that there was any movement! It was OTL who was up first and out getting the rubbish bins out for collection! By the time we had got out and down the sea front the sun had poked it's face over the cloud base. We also did a shot that included a shot that includes the famous Bench next to the Poo Bin!  Once we got over the hill and down to the meadow it all changed, the sky lost the red clouds! We had a visit from the assessor who came to see how much it will cost to knock the dents out of the car bodywork. It was funny watching him poking around inside the engine and lean on the bodywork and suck air through his teeth an...

Bang Bang!

 Hi Woofers Daisy here. It's been a right funny old day today. I managed to get OTL out of bed good and early today then he went and got messing about on the computer and it was back to the old time and we were late again! Mind you, we went the long way around and took another look at the cable ship! We tried a little classic on the Two Trees but that didn't excite us at all! Lunchtime. we headed off to get some fuel and OTL managed to collide with another car and now the car is going in for some body work! So, for the rest of the afternoon he has been filling in on-line questionnaire and trying to describe two cars fighting for the same bit of road! OTL can't remember when he last had an accident! Poor OTL, bang goes his no claim discount! Luv, Daisy.

105 and still going!

 Hello Woofers Daisy Dog here. We were up late this morning, OTL was the one who was late and it took a good ear licking to get him mobile! Mind you, I was late in getting up as well! This bed is super comfortable and a quick look out the window confirmed that were wise to stay in bed for a little longer! There was no one on the sea front and the forest was just dripping with rain but by the time we came out the other side it had stopped raining. When we got home OTL skimmed off the leaves that had been dropped and while we didn't get them  all you could at least see the water! A quick rake around and a little adjustment of the camera lens we zoomed into to show the heron. He plans to get the leaves swept up when the rain stops! We will have to trim that stuff trying to climb up the fence. Providing it stops raining! Well, just for a laugh we looked up the age of a woofer as compared to a Two Legs.  The formula is the age of the woofer multiplied by seven, so, fifteen tim...

Happy Birthday Daisy!

Image
 Hello Woofers It's Daisy again! Well, today is my birthday and I'm all of fifteen years old. I'm told that I'm fit and healthy not fat and in better health than OTL! I woke him up this morning and asked 'where's my birthday song?'  This is the best he could do! Happy Birthday Daisy Dog Thanks for looking at my blog Fit and healthy but not wealthy But I'm not a Leaping Frog! Well that makes a change from buckets of Wee or Poo and other excreture or bodily Sniffs! We met up with Jasper again but we didn't take a photo and instead got the backside of a couple we say hello to from time to time. I got my own sniffs, it's my birthday! OTL took a short cut and got around to the the top path and managed to get the rising sun. Now this was taken as soon as we cleared the Poo bin and with in a couple of seconds............ We got blasted with sun beams and that was the end of the camera work! OTL has been getting the paperwork out and ready for my trip to...

No Rain!

 Hello Woofers Daisy here. We were out late this morning and so missed out seeing the newest woofer on the block. We met Amber yesterday on her first walk around the forest route. I expect we will see her on future walks. She looks a sweet woofer and she jumped up on OTL's leg to say hello! Today we didn't see any of the Lads but we did notice that there was just two ships on the mud flats. We reckon that this is the one with the rolls of electrical cable! There were some Egret out on the mud flats and a few Brant Geese filling their crops and getting ready or the day. Jasper was more interested in sniffing the sniffs and wandered up the hill leaving us to carry on along the sea wall. OTL wanted to take a birthday picture but you know how I hate having my photo taken, so, this is all he got Just as we were going out of the forrest we met up with Pammy and Buster heading in to the bushes. So, we left them to it and headed home. The rest of the days a bit boring except with OTL t...

Wet, Wet, Wet!

 Hello Woofers Daisy here. I'm not sure what its like around your end of the world but last night it rained and it did't stop until lunchtime! I had my rain coat on and only got wet around my paws and around my tum.  OTL had his rain coat on and got weal down his legs and down to his wellie tops! Mind you it dried up a little when he got home, just in time for the lunch time walk when it got wet again! The weather man says it is going to get wet later today and overnight so we will have to keep our eyes open and try to get a window in-between the showers or a quick wee in the garden. OTL says that next Tuesday will be Holly and my birthday. That's if she would be alive that is, so I am expecting a king size chew that I can eat in bed! I'm also expecting. him to sing me a 'Happy Birthday' song before we get up as well! Bye bye for now. Luv, Daisy.

The Hunters Moon

Image
 Hi Woofers, Daisy back again! Well, we were up early to catch the Cable Ships and the Hunters Moon which is moment when the moon is closest to earth. I wish that OTL would get a moon filter and a tripod!  Because we got up so early the cable ship was still too dark, maybe we will come back later today. This ship is closest to shore so we reckon they will be pulling on the cable when ready! Now, this is the Dragons Teeth we told you about yesterday but with the addition of a coffee cup. Well, what ever turns you on! As we got close to the car park we spotted Jasper coming along the road  so we tipped him off on the sniffs and headed into the car! ...and there is a new sniff behind the bin you might like to investigate! We had one of our neighbours asked if he could borrow our drive to mend his car which is OK providing he don't drip oil all over the place! During the morning the foggy misty stuff came down and at times we couldn't see across the football. field! Lucky eno...

OTL Get's Away!

Image
 Hello Woofers! Daisy here. Well, who's a lucky OTL? Now you know OTL had a visit to the dentist today?  His normal dentist that has cared for OTL teeth for at least thirty plus years has decided to retire, so we have a new dentist to care for OTL. After poking and pulling OTL's teeth about she decided not to extract his tooth but rather leave it where it is and see what happens in six months time! Success! Of course he had a lecture on how to brush his teeth and use floss and water flossing and brushing in between teeth, but he got away with the extraction! The walk along the sea front wasn't too bad, mild, no wind but we did get to meet up with The Lads. OTL had Hugo climbing up OTL's leg as he was so excited to see him and when OTL bent down he got a licky kiss on his nose! The ships were still out on the mud flats and tomorrow we plan to go down to where the Dragons Teeth are and see if we can get a better shot! Well, that's about all for today, time to find out...

and just for a change!

 Hello Woofers,  Daisy here and it's not raining! You know it's been right miserable over the last few days, rain, gloom and doom! After walking in the rain getting dry can be a right pain in the tail! Now we are back to normal all I get is a damp tum! No dramatic morning sunrises but there is some colour to break up the sky.  A smudge of sky to start the day! With the sunrise so low on the horizon you have to run around the corner to catch it which is no fun especially when you are busting for a poo! It looks like the sky is fading! You rush past the Poo Bin and catch the sun on the horizon just as the cloud drops down to hide the sun, and that's the last you see until tomorrow! Bye Bye sun, see you tomorrow! Tomorrow OTL is off to the dentist and he has a tooth that is broken and he expects to have it extracted! I've never had a tooth extracted and reckon it could be painful, I mean, have your tooth pulled out and then have them charge you loads of money to do it! Lif...

Rain

 Hello Woofers. Daisy here Well now wot a shame Boy got mugged by a mouse! He should have picked Mighty Mouse by the tail then he wouldn't have got his finger chewed! Today it has been raining cats and frogs, the pond has been overflowing and I've only been out for the necessaries! The rest of the time I have been flat on my back with my paws in the air gently snoring my tail off. Autumn has set in and the Woofers will be looking for a warm spot it the house and not want to wake up until Spring! I've ear marked a space on the sofa where I can wrap my self up good tight! See you tomorrow. Luv, Daisy.

Snoozy or wot!

 Hello Woofers, Daisy here again Being a Sunday morning we allowed OTL to stay in bed a little later than normal! Yes, we left him along for an additional five minutes, yep, he got up at six thirty five! We are just too good to him! It was a good thing we got him out when we did cos there were some very interesting shots he made. Looking through the Two Trees you can see the ships all in a line, pulling the cable. When we turned the corner by the Poo Bin we were amazed at the sunrise and the jet trails were something else! Now, just look at this one! It was a tremendous light show and OTL said he wished he had brought the very wide lens or the tilt/shift lens, Just wish you could wake up to this every morning! Yes that is a ship coming in to the Sheerness docks! We didn't meet any woofers on our walk but the sunrise made up for that! Reading Chewie adventure with the runaway woofer only goes to prove that if you know your woofer is.  likely to do a runner then there is every g...

Boring Saturday

Image
Hello Woofers. Daisy here. Well, today has been one of those boring days when nothing of much interest happened. We got up late mind you we met up with Hugo who said hello and got called back to his TL! The sea side had been mowed and the the weed had been cut down to the ground.  I wonder how many rabbits got chased off the meadow and into the brambles? After a walk through the forest we got home and enjoyed some breakfast followed by a well earned snooze. OTL is still playing with the computer and the program that edits photos and not having tooo much success. Mind you, there was a program on the TV called How It's Made. Being and old engineer OTL is interested how things are made and I did find the one where they made Pepperoni sausages. Now OTL has never had Pepperoni and neither have I so we will have to ask The Missus if she will get some the next time the Tesco Man calls! I forgot to mention that there were nine ships out on the mud dragging that cable into the trench, so it...

 Hi Woofers Daisy here again. So, there we were heading out to the car so we can go on our morning walk down the Grain sea front but horror upon horror, the closer we got to the car all we could see was ICE! That was it, we had to sit in the car with the engine running to melt ice for a whole ten minutes! Autumn has arrived! Sunrise behind the power station. There was no chance we would be able to get to the sea front before the sun had climbed high in the sky. When we got to the Two Trees we were surprised to see eight ships in a line possibly pulling on the electricity cable! They are getting on well, I reckon they will be finished soon. We managed to get a shot of the sun shinning above to Poo Bin! We met up with Stormzi who was full of beans, jumping up at OTL just to get a stroke! One thing we have noticed is there are more bunches of fungi by the side of the path, indeed Autumn has indeed arrived! It will be Christmas soon! See you tomorrow! Luv, Daisy

So, where is the storm?

 Hello Woofers. Daisy here. I thought that the weather forecasters were a little forward in their projected wind and weather storms due yesterday and of course today! What did we do? We fell asleep after lunch waiting for the storm! Today has been much the same, a little rain first thing this morning but we did see The Lads but they were in the distance, too far even for a woofer hello! The Lunchtime walk was fun, I saw a Cooking Fat across the other side of the field and as soon as I identified it I was off like rocket. Needless to say it dived into the undergrowth and disappeared from sight! OTL has been watching TV and I've been snoozing in my bed and trying to find a computer program that will work with our new computer and edit the photos! In the end we gave up looking but we may go back tomorrow and try again! Now we'll leave it there and go back tomorrow! Bye for now. Luv, Daisy

Storm, Wot Storm?

Image
 Hello Woofers Daisy Dog here. For the last few days we have been bombarded with dire warnings of storm warnings from the USA that have turned into Hurricane warnings and there we go, our forecasters jump on the bandwagon and start giving warnings of storms but.  down here in North Kent what do we get? Just some dark clouds! Not exactly a howling gale! It's been the same all day, dark clouds  and that's it nuffin else! The only exciting thing t happen is OTL going fr his Flu jab! He asked if he could have the sharp needle this time but the nurse said all the sharp ones were gone! So now he has been showing off and saying he has a sore arm! Maybe we will get some rain tonight? Bye for now Luv, Daisy

This is how you do it!

Image
 Hello Woofers Daisy Dog here again. I like Mondays, it is all quiet after the crashing and banging and car engines racing and mini Two Legs tearing around on scooters! Down on the sea. front there was a ship moored up digging up the trench for the cable coming in from Germany. I'll be interested to see how far they have got along the trench by tomorrow morning! The Sun had got up and was hiding behind some low cloud. There was a brief blast of sun as we got near the entrance of the forest. Thinking of yesterday and the picture of me all sort of dark looking, today OTL had a quick fiddly diddly with the controls and came up with this! That's how you do it! See? Even looking into the sun you can get a reasonable shot even if we are a mile away! We got close to forest when a couple of Labrador woofers came out from the bushes and stopped and gave us the old Hairy Eyeball. It was a good job they stopped cos one was grumbling as well. Their TL put both on their leads then told OTL ...
