Being On Holiday is Hard Work!

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

Yesterday we were in 'Engineering Mode' 'cos The Missus has been 'Destruction Testing' the fold up table in the caravan and we can now say, without any doubt that, given the right number of whacks with the extra large container of 'Distress Ink', the table will fall off the table mount and come crashing to the floor!

So, yesterday it was 'Hunt the Screws' and stuff in the local town then back for some drilling and banging with hard object and mumbling of many curses!

I was doing the inspection job after the table was reinstalled!

OK, it passes the 'Shove Test' so we will give it a try!

Holly Chops was on 'Guard Duty' and after learning from Archie Babe on the best positions to take up when doing guard duty, she made a pretty good go of guarding the caravan!

I can be alert in an instance, trust me!
 Today we decided that a trip to see the local sights was in order and set off for Durdle Door. We were expecting a castle thingy with a big wooden door but when we got there it was nothing but a lump of cliff with a hole in it!

Shut That Door!
 It was a bit of a hike up and down the cliff to see that and to be honest, the ice cream cone that Holly and I shared tasted just great!

Next it was Lulworth Cove. Now this is a natural harbour that has been worn away by the tides and now looks like a super safe harbour with a very 'Touristy' village on the shore. Old Two Legs reckons the car park was almost as big as the village and judging by the cost of parking, it was more than likely the biggest money earner around!
Pretty village with the obligatory stream heading towards the bay!

Almost all the buildings were restaurants or gift shops!
Like Durdle Door, I got a swim in the warm water! Holly decided that she was better off sitting on the harbour wall with TM and trying to mug anyone who looked like they might have food!
Nothing like getting your paws wet!

 On the way back to the car we stopped off at one of the restaurants and got some scampi and chips and a sausage.

The scampi was for TM & OTL and the sausage was for Holly and I but it was such a small sausage that after we had finished it, the scampi look just too delicious to leave un tasted!

Tomorrow OTL wants to visit Corfe Castle 'cos he hasn't been there for a thousand years!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

  1. Evening little maties. Wow, you do work hard on your holidays, I seem to remember other jobs having to be done on previous holidays which lead to OTL going for miles looking for parts, still I suppose some screws aren't too much of a rarity to find. I think OTL is going to have to get a huge stone for Mrs TM to craft on, let's see if she can make one of them collapse. I reckon Holly chops has been studying my guarding techniques very closely, she seems to have got it just right, see wot you do, is you lay in a comfy spot and the intruders reckon you're fast asleep ..... you're not, you're just inspecting your eyelids for holes but it gives the impression that intruders can get past you. The minute they try you spring into guard woofer mode and bark very loudly to frighten them. Good girl Holly, well done. I'm glad to hear the table past your inspection Daisy, you must be very good at inspecting things, OTL should employ you as his quality control inspector. Now we heard that OTL is still coughing and needed a dose of the strong stuff and an early night,......... now OTL, come on, if one of your woofers or ferrets were coughing, you'd take them to the vets, get yourself off to the vets, don't be scared of being stabbed or the bill, we all need you fit and well and plus you mustn't disturb a woofers snooze. I mean, can you imagine Mrs TM let loose with a hammer if the table breaks again? Loved the pictures today, I agree with you Daisy, where is the door????? My mum reckons they're old coves down in Lullworth if they charge lots for their car park. That sausage sounds good but I hope you got more than a sniff of the scampi. Glad you managed to get a dip. Hope you manage to get into Corfe Castle, I should send them an email and let them know that VIPs are planning to visit tomorrow. Have a good evening all and hope you get some more muggings. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and Mr Nipper xxxxxxxxx

  2. That was a near miss with another Diary when OTL had to do some running repairs to the breakage, dear me TM is just so strong!!! Holly is just like a coiled spring, with a trained eye you can see she isn't asleep and ready to leap on any intruder or sausage that appears. It seems that Dorset sausages are a tad smaller than the Kentish ones so I hope you had a taste of the scampi and a big taste at that. They also have doors without actual doors and car parks that demand actual money but lovely ice creams to cool you down or make you think that you are warmer outside than you are. Hope Corfe Castle is prepared for your visit after Archies arrangements. Keep OTL dosed up so that he feels better quickly and get TM to be more careful, you wouldn't think making a little card would demolish a table! xxxxxx
