Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret here!
Now, normally the weekends mean an extra half an hour snoozing in the morning but this week we were up an whole half an hour earlier!
Seems that The Missus wanted the car at seven to take up all her stuff to the village hall for this weeks Master Class!
One of the good things about getting up early is that we got to see the sun creep up over the horizon!
The first sunrise since before Spring started!

| Here it is, the first sunrise of Autumn! |
One of the good things was our new harnesses have light reflective bits and the sun lit them up a treat. Just wait until the Winter when it is dark and Old Two Legs is waving the torch around to find us, we will be lit up like a Christmas Tree!
Oops! That's the first mention of Christmas this year!
Being up so early, we spotted a few rabbits and of course Holly and I chased after them but to be honest, they spotted us and legged it before we could get close enough to grab their tails!
Once the ferret cages had been cleaned OTL started to get out all the hair cutting equipment! That was not good news!
I sneaked off and his under the office work surface while dopey Holly followed OTL around asking what he was doing!
I mean, just how daft can you be?
I heard OTL calling Holly into the bathroom and then the water and shampoo started to get sloshed about. Holly kept trying to get out of the shower but OTL kept turning her around so he could wash all her bits, including behind her ears!
Next came The Blaster!
This thing blows out warm air with force and the idea is that it blows the water off our hair.
Holly is not in love with this thing and if OTL puts it too close she snarls and shows her teeth to warn it away!
After that it was the electric clippers all over Holly. This time OTL started up at her head first 'cos clipping hair around her muzzle made her sit still and OTL was able to carefully clip around her ears and under her chin!
After that it was hair cutting all the way down to her tail. There was some wriggling but OTL took a break so Holly could have a dash about and work off a bit of steam!
So, in the end it didn't look too bad, but there is a little bit more trimming to do around her paws but that can wait until tomorrow or the day after.
So, our Holly chops now looks like this!

| Do I look good or wot! |
See you tomorrow!
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!
Wotcha maties. Wow, Holly chops does look the dogs do dahs, if I could whistle I would. Mind I think she's very brave to be bathed and clipped. Watch out Daisy, he'll be coming for you next. We didn't really have a sunrise cos it was very cloudy here first thing, around about lunchtime the sun came out then about 5.30 it started to rain. It didn't rain for long but it timed it for just when I went out for a wee and a run round the garden. I haven't limped today but the tablets made me feel very sleepy so my mum is only giving me half tonight and half in the morning and then if I'm still not limping, I won't have to have any more, so I'm keeping my paws crossed and trying not to limp. Have you thought of asking Mrs TM to tiptoe around so that she doesn't wake you up at the weekends? Hope OTL is recovering from his canal. Sounds like you've got good muggings tonight so enjoy. Have a lovely evening all, my mum is watching Harry Potter so I better go and sit with her and give her a snuggle. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and the Nippers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteOh Holly looks beautiful, I hope she thinks all the fuss was worth it? Must be your turn tomorrow, you show her how easy it is to manage all the equipment without the fuss and commotion? Well, maybe not. How early TM gets you all out for the Master Class, mind you that picture of the sunrise was worth it, you don’t show us many sunrises or sets. Glad Archie The Limp is more Archie The Mischief, I prefer him like that but I don’t suppose him mum does. Looking forward to seeing you all lit up in the dark with those new harnesses, OTL is needing some himself so you can find him in the dark. xxxxxxz
