Getting ready for Santa Paws!

Hi, Ho, Ho, Ho, Woofers!

Us here, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret!

First, good news about Little Milly being sorted out, these vets charge a fortune but they seem to know what's wrong with a woofer!

Hey! We think it's great chasing that squirrel along the fence, super stuff! We don't see squirrels around here, not enough trees!

We have been making a list for Santa Paws and Old Two Legs says that instead of sending a letter we can do it on email!

I must admit that the list is a little long and mostly to do with food but I'm sure we will get a couple of items from the list!

May and Eric came out this morning for a run and had some fun digging on the beach, right up to the point when Eric said that his paws were getting cold and he needed a carry!

You know ferrets can get Chilblains!
Of course OTL gave him a carry until we got onto the grass path and he was down again and sniffing along behind us!

Miss May was galloping along as she normally does and they both dived into the long grass after more sniffs!

Lunchtime we woke Freddy up and told him he was going out!

Freddy was not too happy about that and insisted he has a snooze in the travelling cage!

Down on the beach it was Wendy who was having the fun! While I was rolling in a really stinky sniff little Wendy was digging a big hole and saying she was off to chase some rabbits!

Who needs a rabbit hole when you've got a ferret!
 Now, all this Winter Solstice stuff and long nights is all OK if you like that sort of thing and OTL gets all excited when the clouds turn funny colours, just like today. Me? I'll just be glad when the Spring is here!
 
Reminds me of the painting by Turner, The Fighting Temeraire!
OTL says that the painting was supposed to be set just across the river with the ship coming out of Sheerness and heading up the Thames.

Yeah, OK, it's a bit boring when compared to a sea sniff but I will admit the colours look the same almost!

 Bye for now.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.
