Last Day of Autumn!

Hi Ho Woofers!

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

I don't know what it has been like for Archie Babe doing his Guarding Job but down here we had a dark morning but it brightened up later as the day progressed.

We left the ferrets in bed on our morning walk, mainly 'cos they were asleep in their new beds!

Mind you, they had to sleep in the new beds 'cos Old Two Legs had taken all the other bedding out!

Miss May has a thing about sleeping in the folds of a blanket, so, she was right put out that OTL had been messing with her bed!

Both her and Eric were cuddled up together first thing so no problems there!

After the lunchtime walk OTL put the blanket back and she was straight under and curled up in a snoozy ball!

When we went for our walk the sun was shining and there was a gently breeze blowing as well. That didn't make the ferrets happy 'cos they still wanted to be home in a nice warm bed!

OTL put them down on the football field but they didn't show any enthusiasm for running about!

May had a sniff but Eric refused to move!

 They both got carried down to the Sea Front. Now, we fully sympathise with OTL, there he was cuddling two snoozy ferrets in his arms while at the same time poo bag in hand was chasing after us woofers! Picking up our poo while keeping he ferrets from ripping the bag open makes for a comical scene!

Down on the Sea Wall both ferrets were offered a chance of a run, Eric stayed where he was while May asked if she could get back into OTL's arms!

I'm going off this walking lark, can I have a cuddle?

 Holly, who was standing by thought she would have a joke and asked OTL if she could have a cuddle as well!

Aw! Come on, just a little cuddle?

When we got back to the football field both Eric and May got down and trotted across the field while Holly and I went of sniff hunting!

Back home to our day beds and a snooze before dinner (Doggy Scoff) but we can still look forward to mugging OTL for a nibble!

Tomorrow The Missus is off to the village hall for some glue slapping, so that means we can have some fun watching TV and spreading crumbs all over the place!

Now we are not sure about this Fred Basset that Auntie Sue is cuddling up to, we know a few Basset Woofers down here, they are an unruly pack when they get going!

End of the month, end of the Autumn and tomorrow it's the first day of Winter!

It's all happening!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Lazy Day Woofing at the Two Legs!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret back again!

Well, another dark day. I'm wondering just when we are going to get a sunrise!

It's OK Auntie Sue saying it is three weeks before the equinox but you can get right bored waiting!

This morning it was dark and a bit damp, you know, that sort of rain that seems misty but before you know it, your tail is as wet as your tummy!

You know, that's the only advantage these Two Legs have over us, their tummy stays dry when walking over wet grass!

....and this is in colour, honest!

It wasn't much better at lunchtime. Today Eric and Miss May came out with us but spent most of the time inside the ferret bag trying to keep warm!

You mean we have to stay out in this wind?

There was a little walk then it was back into the bag gain!

OK....Quick.........Rush him now!

So it was a game of pick up, put down, run away and run back!

We all managed a trot across the football field but Holly and I were the fastest with Eric close behind. Miss May kept stopping but that was 'cos she got out of breath!

Tonight we got chicken and I think it will be another race between Holly and I mainly 'cos she reckons she is starving!

Poor Woofer!

Friday tomorrow, beginning of the weekend and the start of December, Equinox here we come!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret

Here comes the rain!

Hello Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

You know, this time of the year the weather is best described as .......Miserable!

As normal it was dark when we got to the football field but there, in the distance, across the other side of the field was this green glowing LED light emitting from a woofer collar!

That was it, Holly and I were out and woofing our tails off but we stopped when we saw who was wearing it.

It was a big hairy butt of a gigantic German Shepherd with teeth like a tiger!

Holly and I stopped barking!

Most of the walk was in darkness and we were discussing how long it will be before the days started to get longer!

Holly says it is somewhere around Christmas!

Lunchtime we took Monty and Wendy down with us 'cos the wind wasn't too strong and the rain wasn't too wet! Mind you, that didn't stop Monty and Wendy from blagging a lift in the ferret bag!

Monty kept poking his head out for a look and at one time he was sitting in the bag, on Old Two Legs hand and looking out of the top of the bag!

The seat is ice and warm!

Once we were at the Sea Wall both ferrets were taken out of the bag ready for a run back to the car!

First of all they had to climb up the concrete steps. Now Monty is getting quite good at climbing up and we up in a flash and into grass!

One, Two and Up I Go!

Now Miss Wendy is a little slower in getting up 'cos she is a little shorter than Monty and it takes a bit of a scramble to get up the steps. A helping lift from OTL also helps!

One, Two and ..............I'm falling back, quick, grab my butt!

 The ferrets love the football field, loads of mole sniffs for the ferrets while Holly and I wander around selecting woofer sniffs!

Yep! It's just over there!

Back home we all headed for the day bed while OTL played with the computer and the 'accounts'.

You can tell it's the end of the month soon, 'cos he always goes into 'account mode'!

Boring or wot!

Holly and I are off to see what's for dinner, more than likely Doggy Scoff knowing our luck!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Foggy Foggy Dew followed by Foggy Foggy Cloud!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret, Champions all!

Well, we are getting over our big, long, day! We have all been polishing the rosettes that are hanging on the cages!

First thing this morning we were out in the dark and foggy mist. The ferrets decided that bed is better than fog, so back they went to bed and a snooze!

As a treat, Old Two Legs has ordered a couple of hanging beds for the ferrets, they are described as

Rodent Hive Rat Ferret Bed! We saw them at the Harrietsham Ferret Show and OTL thought they looked all warm and cuddly for the ferrets!

They should arrive in a couple of days so we can see what our Champions think of them!

After the morning run, OTL cleaned all the cages and then packed up the laptop and headed out of the front door leaving us behind! Seems he had some 'reprogramming' to do at one of his customers. He took an hour to do all that and get back to us.

We managed to persuade Eric and May to come out for a stroll along the Sea Front. It was shortly after they landed on the grass that they were climbing up OTL's leg and straight into the ferret bag!

Oi! Shut that door!

 OTL tried a couple of times to get them to walk but they were definitely more comfortable than paddling in the sea!

It looks too cold for us!

 Holly is still upset about all the grass being cut, when she wants a private wee, everyone can still see what you are up to!

Where's a girl going to have a poo now they have done all this!

 Half way back Eric stuck his nose out of the bag to watch the world go by. Of course, there was the usual question!

Are we there yet?

When we got to the football field both Eric and May got down and ran across the field, well Eric ran after he got brave enough to run but May was running then stopping to catch her breath then off again!

Soon they were back in the travel cage and heading back to a warm bed in their home cage!

It will be fun to see what the ferrets think of their new beds!

We have chicken today, so, off we go to have a taste!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Real Muggy Monday!

Hi Woofers!

Here are the Champions again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Wot a horrid day it's been! It was dark and wet this morning and later it was wet and dark then it changed to being light and wet and windy!

We went out for a walk but the ferrets decided to stay in their warm beds while Holly and I got damp!

When we got back from our walk we found Eric and Miss Wendy polishing their rosettes! Miss May said she had cleaned hers this morning before Old Two Legs had even got out of bed!

Monty has been full of fun today, he has been chasing Wendy around the house and Dooking his tail off. Then, when Wendy went to hide in the sofa, Monty started to chase OTL as he cleaned their cage!

In the end the cage cleaning was forgotten and both Wendy and Monty decided to bet up OTL!

I'm afraid that photography was out today, wot wiv the rain and the lack of colour made it all look yuk! The clouds were all flat and grey with no 'interesting' shapes!

Back at home we crept under OTL's desk and snoozed the afternoon away!

Eric came out and OTL took him for a run around in the bedroom, mind you, he shut the door so Eric couldn't get out and also to keep us out!

I must admit, Eric looks and feel all super soft and fluffy in his winter coat!

Miss Wendy is getting fluffy as well! May is a little fluffier than normal but nothing like Eric.

OTL says he loves cuddling Eric and tickling the back of his neck!

I think that there is Doggy Scoff today, that means we will have to do some serious investigations when OTL gets his dinner!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

We are The Champions, We are The Champions, no time for Losers!

Hi Woofers!

The Champions are here, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Well, what a day yesterday!

There we were, woken up early, washed, brushed and walked. The ferrets were given the last check over before climbing into their travelling cage and were loaded up into the car together with the hampers that the Allhallows Croppers had kindly donated. In the dark of the morning we set off towards Harrietsham Village Hall. You know, there were loads of ferrets there already, cages all festooned with Christmas decorations and lights.

So, where is Santa?

We got settled down and Holly and I were given the job of 'Stewards' to make sure the ferrets stayed in line and didn't get mixed up when their names were called for judging!

Of course, I was made 'Chief Steward' while Holly provided the 'Weight'!

Oi! You! Get back in line or I'll send Holly over to you!

Old Two Legs had entered Eric and Monty into the Pastel Polecat Hob section, Miss May went in for the 'Silver Jill' and the 'Veteran' sections while Wendy was in the 'Coloured Jill' section.

Those were the 'Serious' sections, of course there were other serious sections like Albino Hob & Jill and Polecat & Sandy Hob, then the Kits and Angora ferrets!

There was one section for 'Young Handlers' and OTL was the Judge on that one, mind you, he didn't get a badge like wot we did!

It took almost all day to get the judging done cos there were loads of ferrets, so, while we were all waiting to be called, there was a section called 'Fun Games' and this involved shoving a ferret in one end of a cloth tube and seeing wot ferret got out of the tube first!

Well, Eric was first and on the word 'Go' off he went, problem was, he got tired half way down the tube and decided to have a snooze!

Failed!  No more racing for Eric!

Next Monty was into the tube and he came out second!

Onto the next round.

This time Monty started off well but sort of stopped half way down the tube. This allowed the ferret next door, a big , big ferret to get into Monty's tube and chase him back down the tube again!

This scared Monty, cos he's only a little ferret, until he grows up a bit!

OTL rescued little Monty, just in time, so after that the ferrets didn't bother with the Fun Games and instead took a tour of the ferret cages, blowing raspberries at the other ferrets and calling out 'Loser!' to them!

Hello Losers!

We had Missy Sue and Michael and Margaret visit us and check out the ferrets, it was good fun to see them and Michael took loads of pictures of us all! Missy Sue stuck her finger into a ferrets face and got a nip for her mistake! Still, you can't say you are a ferret person until you have got the scars to proove it!

OTL cleaned her finger and stuck a plaster on it!

But I don't like saying Cheeeese!

 Late in the afternoon the awards were announced.

The Fun Games went first and prizes were handed out to the winners and then the 'Christmas Cage'!

All very pretty but is is Poo Proof?

After that the 'Serious Stuff' got going!

A Table full of Dreams!

Miss May got second place in he Veteran section, she was dead chuffed about that one!

It's May wot won the Veteran Section, not OTL!

Next, Miss Wendy got First Place in the 'Coloured Jill Section'!   FIRST PLACE! She was jumping about all over the place cos that is the first prize she has ever won!

Miss Wendy's First Prize!

Next it was Eric, he was given First Place in the 'Pastel Polecat Hob' section. You should have seen him, he was strutting about doing his Ferret Dance stuff all over the cage!

This one is for Eric!

It was a super time we all had and like Michael said, 'This is the start of Christmas!

We had nothing to do but to pack it all up and head off for home.

Monty said that he had been taking notice of all what was going on and next year he reckons he will be getting his own prize!

So, at home we have the rosettes pinned up on the cages and Holly and I were allowed to pin our rosettes up there as well!

Last night the ferrets were partying almost all night long, we could hear them singing and dancing and making a terrible racket! It was at least four in the morning before they packed up and headed for bed!

Today they have been tucked up in their beds snoozing the day away, well, looking good all the time can be so tiring, as Holly and I know so well!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Getting ready!

Hi Woofers!

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

We were out this morning at our normal time and it was so dark that we thought Old Two Legs had got out an hour too early!

It was terrible, dark, no sunrise in fact it was horrid!

The only good thing was the temperature, it was warmish and to be honest, rather pleasant!

Too dark for any sort of photograph but Eric got his run in the dark and was diving into the grass pretending he was chasing a Niffler!

Back home we let OTL get on with the 'Friday Jobs' on the computer, after he had cleared all the cages!

After a relaxing morning we were out again and other than being a bit lighter, it was all the same as this morning!

Do you believe in Deja vu?....Dunno, didn't you ask me that yesterday?

 Both Monty and Wendy were hiding in the ferret bag but got out when we got to the Sea Wall, then, after a few minutes they were off heading back to the car!

Come on, it's this way, I can sniff Eric!

This afternoon we have been getting the travelling cages ready for tomorrow, beds and water bottles and food bowls and paper to poo on!

We decided to leave the Christmas Decorations out of the cages, well, we don't want to distract the ferrets from getting ready but when it comes to the games we will be entering Monty and Eric in such games as 'The Fastest Ferret out of a Bag'!

We are off now to get an early night as we have to get up early tomorrow.

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

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

Cattle Racks, Eye Balls and Plawn Clackers!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret here at last!

Sorry about yesterdays report but we had a very busy day. It started well, well we were up early and that's OK 'cos we caught the sun rise. Not the most dramatic shot but better than nothing.

Sheerness in the morning!

 Another thing we saw was a Kestrel looking for some lunch but we didn't see him pick anything up.

Looking for lunch!

 When we got back from our walk, we were packed off to our Day Bed while The Missus and Old Two Legs set off for the hospital!

Hospital? Wot's going on?

Well, I was straight up and on the computer and the calendar!

It was then I saw the note......'TM to Hospital for Eye Ball Op'

That was it, off to get her Cattle Racks sorted!

OTL dropped her off at the hospital and then headed off to the Car Menders. It seems that one of the Dipped Beam lights had given up working, not good especially when it's dark in the morning and in the evening!

He could have done it himself but firstly he didn't have a bulb and secondly he couldn't get his big paw in the hole to  change the bulb!

So, he gets down the menders who ask him to go to the spares department and purchase a bulb and hand the bulb to the Service Department who will arrange to change the faulty bulb!

I know, I would have thought that Service Department would have had bulbs in stock but who am I to criticise, I'm only a woofer!

Well, he gets it changed and they charged him for the bulb but the fitting was free!

After that he got back to the hospital expecting to see TM slurping Coffee and Biscuits and with a patch over her eye.

When he went into the Reception there was no TM so he settles down in a comfortable chair, close to the warm air heating and set about reading his book. About three hours later TM was on the phone asking where he was 'cos she was all done and ready for home.

That was it, the Cattle Rack in one eye was gone and a new bit shoved in. It was funny looking at her 'cos she had an indelible ink 'Arrow' drawn on her forehead pointing to the eye that was to be worked on, High Tech Stuff!

Because it was late they decided to get a Chinese Takeaway on the way home!

Plawn Clackers, King Plawns, Chicken Strips!

Yeah!

We couldn't give TM a big Licky Kiss when she got back so instead we helped her eat the Chinese!

This morning we all woke up late and we were a whole hour late getting out. This means we met up with all the 'Late Woofers', most of who we know but that means poor Eric had to be picked up to stop becoming a woofers breakfast!

The wind had dropped but it was rather foggy out to sea.

I think I prefer it when they have all gone, I mean, how does a girl get a private sniff!

Today, TM has decided that she is going to have a 'Quiet Day' which means she is going to sit on the sofa and watch TV and all her crafting DVD's!

Lunchtime we were out again with Monty and Wendy down on the Sea Front but before we go OTL has to wake the ferrets, they do like their snooze!

Miss Wendy is the worse for this, she can fall asleep as quickly as a sniff!

Waking her up is another matter!

Jus' five minutes more?

Once they they got to the place where they normally get out of the ferret bag they had just woken up!

However, waking up and getting moving is another thing!

Monty is quicker at getting going and while waiting for Wendy to catch up.

No, it's a Woofer Sniff, the ferret sniffs are further up the path!

When we got back to the football field there were signs that the moles had been digging again. Monty decided to have a poke in the latest pile of mole diggings.

He could sniff mole but there was no sign of the little devil!

Come on, out you come or I'll get the woofers to dig you out!

TM's eye ball is still sore but the drops OTL is dripping into her eye is slowly making it better although the drops should last at least a month!

We are getting excited about the Harrietsham Ferret Show and all of the ferrets  get an 'Inspection' every morning, ears, claws and butt!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's a YUK Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, today the Winter has started, howling gale coming in off the North Sea, horizontal rain and Holly was first back to the car!

We didn't take Eric out this morning 'cos when we looked out of the window it was raining, in fact Holly and I were discussing if we should make do with a wee in garden!

Old Two Legs called up the Rain Radar program and spotted a 'Window' in the wet, so off we went!

You know, that OTL can be quite clever sometimes and this time we were wiping the windscreen on the way there but it stopped as we got out of the car.

We did our business and just as we were pulling out of the car park, it started to rain again!

Skill or luck?

Lunchtime it was the same, no ferrets and another 'Window' in the rain!

Us woofers got left behind as OTL and The Missus went out for couple of hours and left the Woofer Brigade to guard the house!

We made sure that all the Nargles, Nifflers and Dodgy Dealers were kept away and we also woofed at anyone who walked past the front of the house!

Tonight OTL has been promised some Bacon and Mushroom Rolls! Now, do we love bacon and mushroom? I mean, has a woofer got a nose!

We shall be there to help OTL sort out the tasty bits!

The ferrets have had another ear cleaning session and Miss May is now looking dead smart.

Eric's coat is super soft and fluffy and Monty is settling down to looking smooth all over!

Miss Wendy has clean ears but we do have to watch her back side and I can see OTL taking the Baby Wipes to give her a polish before the judging takes place!

Everyone has nice clean teeth except Miss Wendy who has a brown tooth, not that it worries her 'cos she has had it ever since she arrived here.

Claws are all trimmed and rounded off, so, all we need now is for the judges to do the right thing!

We're off now to inspect the bacon!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

It's here, Horizontal Rain!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret back with you again!

Well, it looks like winter time is beginning, we could tell that by the wind and rain that has arrived today!

We were out at our normal time this morning and the wind was blowing in off the sea, so that means it is an easterly wind. Eric was dug out of his nice warm ferret bag and placed on the ground so he cold have a run.

He ran.

Straight up Old Two Legs leg and into the ferret bag!

Holly and I got involved with a sniff and didn't realise the wind was coming around the bushes and just a couple of steps took us from 'Not too Bad' to 'Woofin Heck that's Chilly!'

Even though it was dark, we decided not to hang about and were quick to head back to the car.

Holly was the first to go and we both got back to the car before OTL had crossed the field!

That's, I'm off back to the car!

It was good to get back and we were soon wrapped up in a blanket and snoozing!

Now, OTL has been preparing the ferrets getting them ready for this weekends Ferret Show.

Just in case you have forgotten, it is being run by the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

• 24 November at 10:00–18:00

•            set up starts 9:00am 

• pin	Harrietsham Village Hall

There will be a super raffle and 'Ferret Fun' contests, also there is 'The Best Decorated Cage' and the Fluffiest Ferret and, well just loads of fun!

Best of all, there is no entrance charge and you will be able to buy more raffle tickets with the money you have saved by not paying an entrance fee!

So, this Saturday we will be all done up in our finest bib and tucker to look our best.

OTL has been trimming the ferrets claws and has been checking the ferrets ears for any sign of wax. The judges just love clean ears!

Miss Wendy has a habit of sometimes dipping her tail in her poo so has to get a 'Bum Wipe' before going for judging!

It will be Eric and Monty's first Ferret Show and they may also meet up with some old mates from their time at the Ferret Rescue!

Lunchtime came and off we went with both Wendy and Monty this time. It was the same as this morning, stop for a sniff and then take two steps back and.......

Hey! The wind is over here!

Monty and Wendy were dug out of the bag for a run but as soon as they caught the wind, it was straight up OTL's leg and back in the bag!

So much for the exercise!

When we got to the top of the hill we could see the rain heading our way, so, that was it, the quickest wee we had done today and back to the car.
 

Here comes the horizontal rain!

By the time we had got back to the car the rain was cleaning the car while Holly and I hid around the other side of the car to the wind!

Back home and into our beds under OTL's desk!

If we are lucky, we should be getting chicken tonight!

Claws crossed!

I think I'll head down and see what's cooking!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Revenge!

Hi Woofers!

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

We love Sundays, take today, we got up a whole hours later than normal!

The sun was up and in the sky with just a little 'after glow' on the horizon. 

OK, so we are late, but it's Sunday!

Eric came out but because it was rather a cold wind from the east, he stayed in the ferret bag until we got back to the football field and only then did he get down for a little run!

Lunchtime it was still windy but not so cold. Wendy and Monty came out and Wendy even got a cuddle from a little Two Legs who knew they were ferrets!

The wind had swung around so it was coming in off the sea, so that chills the air but when we got out of the wind it was rather nice.

The tide was on the turn and was heading back out again.

Bye bye sea!

 Now, you know Old Two Legs has promised to let us help him have a hair cut and trim his beard?

Well, he has and this afternoon we sat on his desk, next to him, and told him which bit to cut off!

We started off  by getting him to shave a strip from front to back so he looks like a Mohican in reverse!

Next we got him to chop off the sides down to the bottom of his ears!

Sort of half Mutton Chops!

 One sneaky thing he did was to keep the setting the same so we couldn't get him to be really bald in places!

So, in the end we managed to get it back to looking at least half way sensible!

That's better, all back together again!

We are expecting The Missus to come back tonight, not sure what time but when ever it is OTL has got to fetch her from The Cat Woman's house.

We are off to see what OTL has dished up today, I think it may be Doggy Scoff but we are hungry enough to eat it!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Bald as a Babies Bum!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, it didn't rain today!

However, we still got wet! I'll tell you about that in a mo!

We beat the sun this morning and only managed a little bit of sun, not enough to get excited about!

Well, it's there but sort of hiding!

 Eric enjoyed the walk especially as the grass had been cut and he could dive into it and do a 'Ferret'!

Come on girls, look on the bright side, Nargles can't hid in the cut grass!

 On the way back a big fat pigeon took off from the bushes when it heard Holly and I talking as we passed his perch. Now, the noise the pigeon made smacking it's wings together scared the tail off Eric and he sort of stood still waiting to see what would happen next! The big wimp wouldn't move until Old Two Legs picked him up for a cuddle!

I don't care, I'm not moving until I know the way is clear!

 We got back without too much bother and after the cages were all cleaned OTL got out all the hair cutting and doggy washing stuff. Holly was first, she got washed, sploshed and blasted dry with that blasted reverse vacuum cleaner. Next she got shaved to within a millimetre of her skin. As normal, she wouldn't let OTL near her claws for trimming but I suppose he will catch her in a good mood and go snippy snip!

Our lunchtime walk was fun. Holly stood up to a couple of big Rottweilers and told them to 'Woof Off' then she said that she looked slimmer than me just 'cos she had been shaved!

You'll never look smaller than me, your butt gives you away!

This afternoon I got the treatment and now I'm as bald as a babies bum and OTL managed to trim my front claws, I suppose tomorrow it will be my back claws!

The Missus is having a good time on her 'Retreat' loads of booze and nibbles!

Sounds like us!

I'm off to see if the chicken is done yet, see you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Oh Wot a Damp Day!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret here!

I must admit, today has not been one of my favourite days, I mean, it has been damp, cloudy and grey looking all day!

Couple that with the fact that The Missus left us a bowl of Doggy Scoff instead of our chicken!

Today is Chicken Day and wot do we get? Scoff!!

We have decided that we are not going to give TM cuddles any more and the ferrets are joining us by withdrawing cuddles as well!

Old Two Legs has promised us some chicken tomorrow and we can have it all warm and greasy as well!

Just how we like it!

Eric came out with us this morning but it was not his sort of weather and he kept jumping up OTL's leg to get a cuddle and a lift!

I will admit, if he wasn't cuddling Eric I might have tried to blag a lift as well!

Lunchtime we didn't even ask Wendy and Monty if they wanted to come out 'cos they were tucked up in their sleeping quarters with a sign hanging over the door..........NO THANKS!

Where they have cut the grass along the sea front, there is loads of weed leaves with little spikes on that get tangled up in our hair and it takes OTL ages to get rid of it all. Maybe a hair cut is the answer!

On the way back to the car OTL stopped by the beach to let Holly and I have a race on the sand playing 'Chase The Woofer'!

Of course it was Holly who chased me and I am much faster than Holly, so I kept wining!

Still it was a good game and we haven't been on the beach for some time 'cos Holly gets an infection in her eyes cos she likes to plough the beach with her nose and of course the sand then gets in her eyes and it's off to the vet to spend a fortune, well, OTL's fortune!

This weekend should be fun, no TM, so, paws up on the sofa, crumbs from the nibbles all over the place. Plus we can watch whatever we want on the TV!

See you tomorrow!

As bald as OTL's bonce!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret here again!

Wot a change from yesterday, we went out this morning expecting a glorious sunrise and what did we get?

It must be up by now!

 Nuffin! Not even a glimmer! I mean, we sat there on the Sea Wall while Eric was waking up but we were disappointed, it was nothing but clouds!

OK, I'm awake now, anyone see the sun come up?

 We headed home to a chew treat and a snooze while Old Two Legs set about shredding more of his fliles that he keeps in the filing cabinet. He says the stuff is old and not needed any more.

Well, if it keeps him happy!

We got a shock when we went back out at lunchtime, the grass had gone!

It's them, they've done it!

 Well, maybe not gone but all chopped down! Now we know that the two legs like the grassy look but what about all the wild life If they keep cutting the grass there will be no where for mouses or shrews or weasels and even the rabbits will have to find somewhere else to hide. That will mean the Kestrel will go hungry 'cos there will be no food for them to eat!

All the butterflies and moths will have nowhere to play and insects like bees will have no flowers to visit!

Of course, Monty and Wendy thought it great fun to dive into the grass hunting Nargles and Nifflers but they must have been scared off by the grass cutting tractor thingy!

Bet you can't see me!

 Of course, I was rather put out 'cos I love the grass 'cos I go in there when I want a poo. You see I don't want anyone watching me and now they have cut the grass, where do I go?

Look, if she wants a poo we both turn away, OK?

 I thought it funny when Holly Dog said that it looks just like OTL's head, you know, bald!

I said we should be careful 'cos he has the clippers out and we won't have The Missus to protect us this weekend 'cos she is off to a 'Retreat' to slap the glue!

It won't be too long before the Harrietsham Ferret Show on 24th November! OTL says that he has high hopes of Monty and Eric doing well in the contest. Maybe they will even get a rosette like wot Mr Brambles or Snowflake did.

The ferrets have all had their claws trimmed and they have had the first of the 'Ear Wipes' to clear out all the ear wax that might have got stuck in their ear lobes. OTL will take a soft brush that will be used to give their coats a nice shine!

I suppose that OTL will practise on us this weekend!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Lets give OTL a shave?

Hello Woofers!

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

After the last few days of really dismal sunrises, to day we got one that just lit up the clouds and sky!

Now, that's better!

The good thing about getting down the beach at the right time is it starts off cold and windy but as the sun comes up, it gets warmer!

Yeah, I can feel it, it really warms yer butt don't it!

 Eric was more interested in chasing something in the grass so he didn't take too much notice of the sun coming up!

Lunchtime, we were off again and it was rather warm, the sun was out, the breeze was gentle and the ferrets were snoozy!

We met up with a Two Legs who came out with the normal rubbish about ferrets, you know, 'My Uncle used to keep ferrets' ..........Good for uncle..........'Vicious things they are'..............no they are not............'They smell'.....so do you........'They bite'.........everyone does when they are eating.........'are they Polecats?..........no, they're Polecat Ferrets.........'I saw an albino ferret once'.........yes, it's proper name is an English Ferret.........and so on and on and on!

Holly said we should bite him and that will sort him out!

Yes, I'm a mean nasty monster of a ferret.........now, can I have a cuddle?

Once we were back in the car we headed off to the carrier to drop off a box of bits for a customer then back home.

I got onto Holly's bed in OTL's office and just as I was dropping off to sleep Monty came down to his Pooing Place and did a huge Super Smelly poo, just by the side of my nose!

I reckon that TL was right about ferrets sniffing!

I gave him a good woofing but OTL stopped me and Monty just carried on pooing!

Something I noticed while waiting for the ferret sniff to dissipate, OTL is charging up both of the batteries in the hair clipper! That's a bad sign, mind you, he is getting a little ragged around his chops and both Holly and I reckon he should have a hair cut first!

Eric said he would help OTL by holding OTL's nose while Holly waved the hair cutter under his chin!

Now, that would be fun!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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