Claw Clipping!

 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.
