Happy Birthday Eric de Ferret!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and the birthday boy, Eric de Ferret!

Yes, it's Eric's birthday today! He is all of two years old! Normally we call the day a ferret arrives here as their birthday but with Eric we can identify the very day he was born!

Today the sun has sort of gone away, I mean, like it has been raining ever since we got up this morning!

All through the morning it got heavier and heavier until it got so bad that both Holly and I had to creep into Old Two Legs office and hide under the desk!

So many lightening strikes and big bangs of thunder and on top of that the rain came down in bucket loads!

One good thing, the ferrets got their early morning walk along the sea front although Miss May had to be picked up for a cuddle on the way back. Not all the way, just a little way until she got all twitchy and wanted a run across the football field!

The pond is now almost up to over filling and there is a Bloom come out on the Lilly Pad!

Bloom Number One!
 The Missus had to head off to the TL Vet to get stabbed against Dingles, or summat like that and it coincided with the rain coming down in bucket loads, just as Holly wanted to go out for a wee.

Holly decided to hang on for a bit! She is not the same as Archie Babe who doesn't mind a drop of rain while having a wee and a sniff all at the same time!

This afternoon Old Two Legs headed out to visit a customer who wanted to have some radios re programmed. It was one of those 'Panic Jobs' that crop up every so often!

Panic over Holly and I settled down to a snoozy cuddle under the desk!

Just for a laugh, we all got together and sang Eric our 'Happy Birthday' song, it went like this.........

Ready?

OK, One Nine Fifty Six!

Happy Birthday to Eric
Although he's small and quite Spheric
Happy Birthday to de Ferret
Happy Birthday to Poo!

It was rather difficult finding a word rhyming with Eric!

Lunchtime OTL found a 'Window' in the rain clouds and we managed to get a quick Wee and a Poo before he was off to work.

As it was Eric's birthday The Missus had left out her box of sponge balls called 'Smoothies' now, Eric just loves them and he thought it was one of his presents, so he kicked the box off the table, jumped down and ran off with several Smoothies and hid them in a cardboard tube he was given over the weekend!

It was after Eric had gone back to bed that TM found her stashed Smoothies and managed to hide them back in the box again!

We all reckoned that Eric will have them out again before long!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and the birthday boy, Eric de Ferret!
