Hello Woofers!
Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
Well, first of all, hasn't it been hot today! We could hardly move today, I mean, Eric came out first thing this morning and it was getting too hot even then! Old Two Legs noticed that Holly was limping on her left rear paw so after having a feel around, decided Holly might have caught her claw on the path.
Now we come to the problem part. Not only don't we like being washed in the shower or blow dried we also hate having our hair cut!
I sort of curl up in a ball on the table and go sort of floppy while OTL works around me with the shavers. We got two, one battery powered and the other is mains electric powered which is good for all down our backs and neck.
When all that is done the final bit is claw clipping. The most hateful, horrid, nasty thing that has ever been devised by Two Legs!
Normally OTL gets one claw clipped, no tell a lie, he gets one clip at a claw before we tug our paw away and bury our paws under our tummy and refuse to help him complete the operation! Both Holly and I use the concrete path on the sea wall to scrape our claws on the concrete and so file them to a 'Natural' length.
Now, we have an appointment with the vet next Tuesday for our Distemper Jabs and to pick up a prescription for our anti flea stuff. Sneaky OTL has added to the list by telling them they will have to clip our claws!
Naughty, naughty and sneaky Old Two Legs!
Well, we have been super lazy today, snoozing in the office with a gentle breeze blowing in through the bedroom window and out the office window.
We also had the F1 Qualifying 1,2 and 3 which came after lunch and what did OTL do? He fell asleep just after it started and woke up when it had all finished! You can tell he is getting old!
I will admit that after the finish I had wandered off to the office for a snooze!
Eric came out with us in the morning and Wendy at lunchtime. When we got to the beach, Wendy went for a paddle in the rock pools while Holly headed off to the shade and I joined Wendy having a roll in the sea weed!
Wendy didn't walk all the way back and cadged a lift off OTL who was complaining about having to cuddle a wet ferret and how his top had a big wet patch!
Now, what's all this about panic attacks? I mean, OTL gets a panic attack when the vet bill comes in and we can see he is going to need a defibrillator to get him back home!
We have seen kites down this end of the world, just one or two, they are not nesting however, we do have Buzzards who have been nesting and Marsh Harriers who are nesting as well! When we take Eric and Wendy out OTL keeps a watch, just in case they fancy a Ferret sandwich!
Well, not the most exciting day but it has been a gentle day.
See you all tomorrow!
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
Yo maties. It certainly has been a hot day today. My mum got home from work early but she didn't go back to bed like I was hoping, she done the washing so she could hang it out and get it dry. I haven't been out today, I just went in the garden for a quick wee and a leisurely poo, I mean a chap can't rush. Now I agree with you about this claw clipping lark. I hate it, I do let the vets and Caroline my groomer cut my claws but not my mum, I hide my paws underneath myself so she can't get them or I run away and hide. My mum gets quite cross with me for not letting her do it. I had my stabbing for distemper on Thursday, it didn't hurt cos I'm very brave you know. I got my flea stuff sent through the post a few weeks back. Now I reckon my mum had the panic attack at the thought of the bill, but do you know, they never charged her for my flea stuff or my jab, or my butt squeeze, they only charged her for my medication for the next 3 months and the insurance will pay for that so I really don't know wot she's playing at. She reckons it's the mask and the toofache wot done it ........ she's not prone to having panic attacks, thank goodness cos I did find it a tad embarrassing, I mean there I was about to be stabbed and have butt stuff squeezed and she has to run outside to get some air ........ I'm not sure if I'll let her come with me again. Fancy deserting your favourite woofer in his moment of need .........
ReplyDeleteGlad both Eric and Wendy managed to get out, I bet Eric would have rattled the hinges off the cage if he didn't get a walk today. We watched Mrs TM and my mum has been buying stuff off the internetty ........ naughty Mrs TM tempting my mum to spend my treat money. My mum has had a couple of little dozes today, she says it's the heat I reckon it's age. Hope Holly chops has got over her limp or the vets will be wanting to investigate. Now remember Daisy, when you go to the vet, keep still, let them do wot they need to do and it won't hurt, promise you. It's only the wriggling wot makes things uncomfortable. Take care all and have a good evening. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and the Nippers. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Too hot to type . . . can only just manage to turn computer on to read a bit and then flake out on settee close to a blissful fan!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your necessary beauty treatments. Most girls seem to like having their nails done these days! xxxx
