Happy Birthday Eric de Ferret!

Hi Woofers!

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

Eric is two years old today, well we can't be too sure but we guess he is around that age and the day is determined by the day the ferret arrives in our house!

We heard Monty, May and Wendy singing 'Happy Birthday' in ferret and Holly, who is learning 'Ferret' says that it was the rudest song she had heard and then she sat down with a pencil and a sheet of paper to translate it into the common tongue so we can all understand it!

It goes something like,

Happy Birthday Ereek the Bloo
Lift yer tail up for a poo
Now run yer belly in yer wee
And don't you come close to meeeee!

Well, that was as close as Holly could get without the censor crossing out the words!

On our morning walk, Eric decided to stay in Old Two Legs arms for a cuddle 'cos it was rather cold and windy and Eric said that as it's his birthday then he would decide on just how far he was walking!

This is Cuddly Walk Weather!

Mind you, that didn't stop him giving me a nip 'cos I didn't get out of his way soon enough!

Back home he enjoyed a game of 'Plastic Bag' with OTL. That is where Eric dashes into the shopping bag and OTL tries to trap Eric in the bag before he dashes out again!

Then Eric went off hunting Smoothies and he found one in The Missuses card room, so he hid it behind all the boxes of stuff so that if you want to get it out, you will have to hire a ferret or take the shelving apart!

Monty said he would put in a good price!

Lunchtime Miss Wendy and Monty came out with us but because of the chilly wind they stayed inside the ferret bag! Monty was playing with OTL's fingers by nibbling them then licking the back of his hand!

Finally they got out of the bag and headed for the car. Both of them kept their heads down as the wind was coming in off the sea and the waves were being blown along with white horses on their tops!

Sunny but cold and windy!

Back to the football field the trees slowed down the wind so both ferrets had a fun time racing across the field.

Holly was trying to be crafty, she pretended not to see the two crows who use the field as a feeding spot.

They pretended not to see Holly and Holly pretended not to notice them, until the last moment!

In the end the crows got away, never mind, there is always tomorrow!

Wot Crow?             Wot Dog?

OTL had to go out this after noon so Holly and I kept a watch out of the bedroom window until he got back.

It's fun spotting the car coming down the road and Holly and I go just a little potty!

Eric has been making the most of his birthday, he keeps getting out of bed and rattling the cage so OTL has to give him a slurp of Ferretone, his favourite treat!

We reckon he has maybe another two slurps before bedtime!

OK, we are off to see what's for dinner, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

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