The Ferrets are fighting, it must be 4am!

Hello Woofers!

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

Wot a super day it's been, well it is if you forget the punch up the ferrets had at four this morning!

We went out this morning and there was misty stuff everywhere so we didn't take the camera. Instead we took Miss Wendy who enjoyed a run across the football field but when she got to the other side her tummy was soaking wet with the dew, so, up she gets and has a cuddle with Old Two Legs until her underside was nice and dry!

Do you think OTL will give me a cuddle when my tummy gets wet?

No, neither do I!

Back home both ferrets were let out for a rampage while OTL did his duties. It was interesting to see that the warfare was developing, sort of.

Miss Wendy would go ferreting under Holly's sleeping mat, Eric being inquisitive started to dig under the mat and of course, finally ended up nose to nose with Wendy......... and that's when the fight began!

It wasn't the normal territory fight, you know, with feeling. Instead this one was Eric, reversing his butt to ward off Wendy who was screaming at him but not attacking him with her teeth, just making a big noise!

That might be a good sign and these little changes are all pointing towards living with each other!

Of course, it will take a little while yet, but we are all keeping our claws crossed!

Now, OTL gave us our monthly dose of anti insect stuff down the back of our necks. Today he swapped over to the Holiday Stuff.

This is the one that gets rid of Ticks which I just HATE!

The stuff he puts on us is not very nice cos it itches like mad and I'm rubbing my neck along the furniture!

The ferrets got their dose as well and they both said it was horrid but they were soon asleep, separately!

Once the stuff had dried Eric set off with us for a stroll along the seafront.

Holly was the first to see a large container ship heading up the Thames into London to unload a load of containers.

Do you think they have any food on there?
 Now OTL had received instructions from The Missus, it seems that she is planning to plant some baby cacti and needed some stuff to put in the flower pot. One of the ingredients is a handful of grit and the local plant place didn't have any for sale, so, OTL was told to take a carrier bag and put a couple of handfuls of sea shells in the bag.

Now that was all OK except that the bag had a hole in it and as much as OTL put sea shells in the bag, most just flowed out and onto the beach!

Finally OTL managed a couple of handfuls and double knotted the bag so with the sea shells in the bag it looked just like a Christmas Haggis!

Of course Eric was helping by digging the shells up and throwing them behind himself for OTL to pick up!

Shall I dig some more or is that enough?
We got back into the car and we were treated to a blast from the air con unit which was so good that Eric said it was blowing ice cubes into his cage!

Now, back home Eric was put back into the cage and found Wendy curled up on the hammock, well, he crept up onto the hammock, bent over and sniffed her ear!

Wendy, still half asleep, turned her head, looked at him and put her head back onto the side of the hammock without attacking him!

Every little development is noted!

Claws crossed, we may get a peaceful, fight free night tonight!

Bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!
