The Last Week!

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, MacHolly, Miss MacSnowflake and Mr McBrambles back again!

Well, today we not only had NO RAIN, but The Missus decided to come along and see what we get up to during the day!

First of all we headed up to our normal run and went off looking for rabbits and as normal, we only got sniffs, no sights!

Still, not to be too worried, we watched Old Two Legs help TM across the stream while balancing on the rocks.

MacHolly said she was taking bets on what part of the stream TM would fall in! Luckily, OTL held on to her and she crossed without incident!

Mind you, the way back was fun 'cos OTL's foot slipped and he ended up with a boot full of water, not that it worried him, his feet needed cooling off!

As normal, we ended up doing the full three miles and MacHolly and I even headed up into the hills, just to check out a sniff MacHolly caught on the wind!

There be sniffs here!
Next we were off to Lochbuie, which, is at the head of Loch Buie!

We had been there before and knew it contained loads of rabbits! The only trouble was, OTL also knew it was stuffed full of rabbits, so he made us wear our lead and then gave the lead to TM to hold!

Not fair!

Next thing we knew was the ferrets chasing us down the beach! MacHolly and I behaved like good puppies and played around on the sandy beach and even dipped our claws in the sea!

OTL told TM that we just wanted a splash about and that we may have forgotten the rabbits.

Yeah! Right!

We got let off and did a Very Fast Exit, up the beach to the gorse bushes where we knew they would be!

That was it, TM came stomping up the beach and we were both put back on the lead and marched down to the waters edge again!

Of course, the ferrets were laughing their whiskers off at MacHolly and me!

Because OTL had the ferrets, he didn't take the camera out of the car, so no pictures I'm afraid, blame the ferrets!

However, on the way back in the car we spotted 'Peacock Pete' strutting his stuff!
'ere! Wot about this then?
He was shaking those tail feathers fit to bust but we didn't see any females about, so maybe he was just practising!

Am I Hot or Wot!
Back home in Tobermory TM went off shopping while the rest of us stayed in the car and watched the world go by.
OTL suddenly starts waving his hand and calling out 'Hey! Are you Sid's offspring?'

This young gull turns around and says 'Yes'!

Sydney, Son of Sid!
Then him and OTL have a chat and we find that Sid has moved across to Oban 'cos the pickings are easier there and he has two brothers and a sister living there already.

All the time they were chatting there was another young sea gull sitting on a tyre giving a running commentary of who was buying what at the Fish & Chip van. Son of Sid said that they had now started to mug the youngsters of their chips if they hung about too long!

Son of Sid's Mate
Then TM came out and before long we had said good bye to Son of Sid and his mate and off back to the caravan for some dinner.

So, that's about it for today, we are off for a snooze before dinner then a snooze before going to bed!

This is our last week here and by next Saturday we will be back at home with a load of sniffs to sort out!

See you tomorrow!

McDaisy, MacHolly, Miss MacSnowflake and Mr McBrambles!
