Poor OTL gets Stabbed but it was Free!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a dismal day it's been, well weather wise it has! This morning it was damp, drizzly, wet stuff and foggy as well!

In fact it was so bad Old Two Legs didn't even get his camera out of the car and instead he stuck his paws in the jacket pockets and shuffled along behind us whilst trying to hide away from the damp by snuggling down into his jacket!

We had to get back home soon 'cos OTL had made an appointment with the doctors to get protection against 'Dingles', well that's what we thought he said but Holly says it's called 'Shingles'!

Now, I thought that shingles were something to do with the tiles on the roof but Holly says it is something nasty that Two Legs get from infected children!

Remember what I said yesterday about mini TL's? You see the mini TL get Chicken Pox and it's over in no time but if they pass it on to grown up TL's it turns into Shingles and hurts like hell!

OTL said he had shingles that was passed onto him by one of his mini TL's many many years ago and he didn't want another dose!

So, there he was in the doctors and the nurse was explaining all about shingles and the effects that the injection could have, it was a bit like the adverts you get on the radio, you know.

'This injection will not stop you getting shingles but will help in it's prevention, however, itispossibleitwillgiveyouasorearmeormakeyourmuscleacheanditmayalsogiveyouagrumblytummandspots

Terms & Conditions also apply!

The only good thing was that OTL is such an old duffer that he qualifies for getting it free!

All those years paying National Insurance and all he gets is stabbed against shingles!

When he came back from the doctors he was limping which was strange 'cos we thought that he got stabbed in the arm! Holly says it may have been a long needle and that it was better not to ask or we could be there all day!

Come lunchtime it was still the same drizzly rain and grey foggy stuff!

Sniffs were hard to come by so we spent all of our time with our noses close to the ground!

Not exactly a prize sniff is it?
 It was the same on the beach, all sort of damp but no sensible sniffs!

Maybe it's a crab wee?
Back on the football field there was a woofer barking his tail off, we didn't know what he was barking at and we stood for a little while just in case we could add our woofs but there was nothing to see!

Gawd knows! Maybe he ought to get a visit to the vet for some worming tablets!
 So, back home it wasn't very busy, almost all of the paperwork had been done, all the suppliers have been paid and OTL was back to playing with the controls on his camera!

Tomorrow we got Auntie Sue and Nunkie Mike coming over for a visit. TM says she will be making some mince pies but without any mince meat, strange, wonder where she got that recipe from!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

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

  1. Yo maties. Well wot a miserable weather day it was today. My mum put my fleece on and got me already for my walk, we got outside the front door and I sat my butt down and refused to walk. My mum got a bit cross but I said NO, so she opened the door, took my fleece and stuff off and went out without me. Can you believe that? She went off up the shops on her own, with no woofer to guard her. Mind it was very drizzly here as well. Poor OTL, wot a good thing he didn't have to pay to be stabbed. I hope his limp gets better soon. My mum has had dingles, she reckons it's not nice either. Now I thought shingles was something you find on the beach but I know Holly chops knows a lot about things so maybe it is shingles wot OTL got stabbed against. Our car got fixed today and it didn't cost an arm, leg or tail so my mum is quite pleased about it. So now I can tell her if I need to go to the vets during the night and she don't need to worry now about the car not working properly. I bet you're looking forward to Mrs Sue and nuckie Mike coming tomorrow, I bet the muggings will be really good. Hope you got decent scoff today, Mrs TM wouldn't dare give you cheap old doggie scoff tomorrow when there are visitors there. Have a lovely evening all, stay warm and snuggly. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and Mr Nipper xxxxxxxx

  2. Last night I commented but Blogger would not let me post it and as I was using the I-pad I could not even save it so here I am with Nunkie Mike sat beside me at my computer, let's hope it works. Looking forward to these meatless mincepies, we once went to a New Years Eve party and at midnight hot mince pies were produced and we all bit into them and went urgh they were traditional for the country of where these people came from and made with minced meat. Lovely when you knew what they were going to be but nasty when you expected Mincepies all sweet and sultanary! Do hope OTL has recovered from his visit to the TL vet, the nurse must have had a long needle to get from arm to leg, oh deary me! It wasn't cold here today but a bit drizzley, hope it bucks up tomorrow as we are hoping to go to the beach before visiting you, we may even come across Ferret Man there as OTL is very known to everyone there. Hope you find nice food in your bowls and looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow, I didn't get the Antler horns filled with peanut butter as Archie said they were horrid when he had some. xxxxxx Now will it publish???
