We are in need of a rest!

Hi Woofers!

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

Aha! I see it is a 'Welcome Back' to the McGoodes after their marathon trip around Scotland and now it back to cutting down all the weeds and cutting the grass that seems to have grown up with a gallop!

There is a rather aggressive plant that arrived last year in our garden, next to the pond, and it sort of killed off a number of plants. This year Old Two Legs was out there digging up all the root stock that looked like tubers. Now, as you know, they always come back and grow again! OTL managed to sprain the tendons in his hand and now has decided to try poison! So that it doesn't spread over other plants, he has gone out with a syringe and a bottle of plant poison and injected the stems and also squirted the weed killer over the leaves as well!

We can report that there are a few rather sick looking weeds!

We can also report that there are more stems sprouting up in new places, so, tomorrow OTL is out again with the syringe to attack the new growth!

Poor old Archie Babe, fancy not being allowed a little nibble of a morsel! That is no reason to have a muzzle shoved onto your nose! I mean, a lads just got to have a treat once in a while!

The Missus has been up the Village Hall all today finishing off the 'Crafty Thong Thingy' and we can see that she will be totally worn out for the next few days!

Hey! OTL has had a couple of rather large lumps of the 'Ferret Cake' and has pronounced it as being 'Brilliant'! Holly and I tried to get a nibble but OTL growled at us which we took to be a warning!

I can see that if ever Tracy makes another cake for the event OTL will be making a seriously large number of attempts to win again!

Well done Tracy!

Good news, tomorrow is Bank Holiday so no work for us but OTL will be out on his knees stabbing weedy plants, so, is that working or having fun in the sun shine?

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

  1. Yo maties. Wot???? OTL growled at you???? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Now come on OTL, it's good to share and I bet Daisy and Holly had their paws crossed that you would win and I bet they helped you judge the weight, share a morsel with them poor starving little puppies. Some TL's just don't understand that us little woofers need a little bit of a treat now and then. Did I tell you we had a massive thunder storm during the night, now me and my mum slept thru it but we keep hearing people saying about how bad it was. I reckon some TL's really exaggerate things you know. I bet Mrs TM is tired after her busy weekend crafty thonging, hope she gets to put her paws up soon. I hope OTL is wearing protective gear when he's out and about in the garden with his syringe full of poison. I've got to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to do guard duty, the life of a guard dog is very hard you know. Thank goodness it's a bank holiday and I get the afternoon off because the shop is closed. Welcome back to Mrs McSue and Mcnukie Mike, hope they enjoyed their travels around McHaggis land. My mum has been looking at some of their pictures over the time they've been up there. Well I better go and put my paws up so that I can be on full alert in the morning. Hope you all have a lovely evening and that you manage to get a few crumbs of the cake. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and the Nippers ...... Norbert seems to have gone back to the bottom of the pond. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  2. Thank you for the welcome back it won’t be long before you are off on hollibobs as well and with a new water heater. I hope OTL still has that curved needle and hasn’t lost it in the mattress perhaps he should take it with him in case of another fall out. Did he plant that aggressive plant or was it delivered by a passing bird, I don’t know you can’t win with gardens. I can picture TM a very tired bunny after her marathon she will be too tired to operate the tin opener so maybe a nice dinner courtesy of OTL or one of those left over ready meals! Have a restful Bank Holiday lots of mini TL’s ooohing and aaaring, take care xxxxxx

  3. Archie, you commented while I was typing, that’s cheating. Thank you, it was good and nice to be able to share some pictures while we are away, it is an important part of the holiday to capture all these images, so easy to forget when you see so much xx
