A Busy Day in The Shower Cubicle!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly & Snowflake back again!

First of all, a big Woofing Welcome to Marilyn and Lindylou who have joined our select band of Followers!

We know there are other Two Legs who read our Blog but don't 'Follow' us, it's OK, we understand!

It takes a brave Two Legs to admit reading the thoughts of a Doggy who types using just one claw! 

It has been a busy day today, Old Two Legs went in and cleared Snowflake and her stuff our of the shower so he could have a wash down before taking us out for our morning run. It was OK until he turned the shower on and the water came out cold, like freezing cold, it wouldn't heat up at all!

His skin looked all blue when he got out of the shower!

Now, clever Old Two Legs had listened to the shower a while ago and decided that it sounded 'Sick' so had purchased a new replacement and put it in the loft for such a time as this.

Before he installed the new shower he took us out for our morning stroll along The Sea Wall.

We had left Snowflake back in her 'Cage' 'cos after her 'Ferret About' The Missus didn't want her running around loose while OTL was out!

There's nothing like an early morning 'Ferret Around'!

Holly and I had some fun playing Hide 'n' Seek, but I don't think Holly has got the idea of the game 'cos she runs away until she can't see me any more then calls out 'Ready' and if I do my 'Meerkat Impression', I can see her in the grass!

OK, I'm hiding now!

I can't tell her off for not playing the game properly or she will show off and I don't want a Showy Off Holly!

Back home we had our brush and Breakfast (Lambs Heart) while OTL set about the shower. We were banned from the bathroom, so it was just OTL and Snowflake.

Snowflake was acting as 'Plumbers Mate' and passing the screwdrivers and spanners when OTL wanted them. That was until she rolled onto her back and was playing with the screw driver OTL wanted!

What with Snowflake running around and climbing up on the wash basket and OTL splashing water all over the place, it was a bit 'Messy' in there and we were glad to be out of it!

We had better things to do like snoozing on the bed!

Half way through the installation The Missus wanted to get into the bathroom to have a look and that meant OTL had to pick Snowflake up, which he did, the wrong way around and Snowflake didn't like it, so she bit OTL!

Snowflake ended up in the 'Naughty Corner' which she wasn't too happy about, being her first time helping OTL and really it was TM fault for not letting Snowflake have a run around while TM was in the bathroom!

The lunch time walk was fun and Holly tried to join in the 'Ball Chasing' but as she says, She Doesn't Do Balls'

OK, Now What?

We did have a good game of running, we had what OTL called 'The Sea Wall Sprint' which I won, but only just! Holly is getting too good at running!

'The Sea Wall Sprint'

We met up with Jasper, he was lost in Maidstone and found by the Dogs Home who managed to place him with his present owner who loves him to bits!

Dunno about Ferrets, Rabbits are my 'Thing'!

Like me he was really into Rabbits but had never met a ferret, who knows, when Snowflake is allowed out on a lead we may introduce her!

Late this afternoon, OTL took Snowflake to the vets again, this time it was to check up on the Tick Drops that were put on ten days ago.

In short, the vet, with OTL's help took another five ticks off Snowflake. OTL had to hold her while the vet did the 'de Ticking'!

That make seventy three ticks that have been removed so far!

Snowflake didn't like it but was brave and didn't cry, even when she got the Distemper injection!

We are not sure that all the ticks are out and OTL has got to keep an eye on her and when we go down for our yearly 'MOT' and booster injections on Friday, OTL will pick up the drops the vet has prescribed for Snowflake at the same time!

So, all in all, an exciting day and a welcome to the household that Snowflake didn't expect!

OTL's pretty strict about injections, inspections and good health so we just have to put up with it! As Holly told Snowflake, 'Your lucky you don't have to have a 'Hair Cut, Shampoo and Set' every six weeks!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly & Snowflake (A bit sore but still fighting fit!)

Snowflake is Staying and that's Official!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here again!

Whoopy Doo Doo! Yahoo! It's Official!

Snowflake is staying!

We finally have made contact with Snowflakes owner who lost her on the 21st December! He had three ferrets get out of their cages and two were found in a couple of days but Snowflake managed to stay lost until we found her on the 29th Dec.

Barney, that's his name, (no relation to the other Barney we know), he has been keeping ferrets for forty years and hunts with them! So, we can't let her near any rabbits 'cos I reckon she will get them before we do!

Barney says that as we had looked after her for such a long time and have become attached to her, then maybe it is best if she stays with us!

Barney tells us that she is two years old and still a spinster, so we have to make a decision, does she get 'Done' like wot we are or does she get a jab every time she comes into season? We will leave that to Old Two Legs to decide!

That all happened late morning, so we had to have our morning walk still not knowing Snowflakes future, so like the weather, we were a bit misty as well!

It's the Not Knowing!

We passed a Little Egret on the mud pools and he said that he didn't mind if Snowflake stays but please keep her away from him!

Ferrets and Me don't get on!

 We met up with a couple of old ladies and I told one of them the story of Snowflake and she said it would be very sad if Snowflake had to go back and wished us all well.

Aw! That's a sad tale my dear!

 This afternoon has been all good, Snowflake has been pigging out on chicken wing and snoozing most of the time. We have been down The Sea Wall again and the mist is still as Yuk as this morning but we didn't care 'cos Snowflake would still be here tomorrow!

We are the first to give Snowflake a name, we were told that she didn't have a name before because she was a working ferret and the nearest she got to a name was.......No.3!

Tomorrow she has got to go to the vets for a second check up on her tick problem and maybe get a jab against Distemper, but we will wait until she comes back to see what happens.

OTL has ordered the Ferret Tower, again, and it should arrive next Friday, if we are lucky and of course, OTL and The Missus get their shower back!

The office is being 'Ferret Proofed', that is, all the holes in the walls where OTL built ducting for cables has been sealed and a filing cabinet has been moved across the other side of the room.

OTL has gone back to reading the book on ferrets and nursing the couple of bites he got this morning!

So, every one is pleased with the result, what a wonderful start to the New Year!

See you tomorrow, I'm off to see if Snowflake is awake yet!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly & Snowflake (Still Snoozing!)

On, Off, On, Off, On, Off, I'm getting confused!

Hi Woofers!

It's us, back again, Daisy & Holly & Snowflake.

Well, it's been up and down today. We woke up good and early and got the news that The Missus had received a message on Facebook that Snowflake's owner had been found. So she asked that a message be got to him to say we think we had found his lost ferret, if he had lost one!

We sat back waiting for a telephone call, nothing. Then we heard that someone had gone to the house and left a note through the letterbox giving our contact details, nothing.

It's the Waiting that gets me!

So, we are sitting here waiting for a telephone call. Just to be on the safe side, Old Two Legs has cancelled the Ferret Tower he had ordered yesterday. We still have some 'Ferret Stuff' like Cat Litter and Ferret Nuggets and Nail Clippers and some Malt Paste that ferrets are supposed to go potty for but so far Snowflake has turned her nose up at it!

We went for our walk along The Sea Wall this morning and had a go at Hunting Mouses but it wasn't the same 'cos we didn't know if when we got back Snowflake would still be there!

Well I can sniff Mouses but I don't fancy chasing them.

 We met up with Archie who was destroying a rubber ball that he had taken off a couple of terriers. 'If it was up to me', he said, 'I'd tell them that Snowflake has moved and not left a forwarding address!'

Just destroying this ball!

 It was at that moment that one of the terriers arrived and demanded the ball back, so OTL took it off Archie and gave it back to the owner who then put it in her bag, so no one got it!

Gissma Ball Back!

Off we went back home and Snowflake was still there, so she was let out and had a run around the office and a roll in OTL's fleece which she really loves doing! Then she got a big dollop of minced beef which she loves, but not as much as raw chicken!

Like all of us after the meal she just curled up in her bed and went to sleep! Which was OK by us 'cos we did the same after a super chicken meal!

At lunch time we bumped into  a couple of other dogs who said that Snowflake should stay where she was!

My vote is for Snowflake to stay!

Oscar said that if we brought Snowflake out to The Sea Wall she would say hello to her and not eat her! 

I'll talk to anyone!

'Hey!' said Bella, 'When can we meet her?' I said that would depend on the phone calls and the vet and if she has her distemper injections!

When are we going to meet her?

 When we got back, OTL had a game with Snowflake and kept her running around the office and rolling around on OTL's fleece.

Every time the phone rang we all stopped and listened to who it was. There were no calls from who we think will call, instead it was people telephoning to find out what was happening!

Who's that on the phone?

 Snowflake just loves having a bit of a 'Rough House' on OTL's fleece and it's fun watching OTL spin her around and turn her over using his fleece. She doesn't yet 'Chuckle' as they are supposed to do when they are having fun but it is fun watching how OTL keeps his fingers away from her mouth!

Come on, let's have a nibble of your finger!

She had so much running about that in the end she just lay down in one of the sleeves and stuck her nose out of the end and gave OTL the 'Hairy Eyeball!'

It's hard work having fun!

Fingers crossed for Snowflake, I think that OTL is getting fed up with Snowflake's supposed owner lack of action so he may just say that Snowflake is staying and 'To Hell with It!'

Let's see what the morning brings!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly & Snowflake.

Snowflake is moving in!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly here and Snowflake as well!

Old Two Legs has finally made up his mind after a chat with The Missus and us and Snowflake. If Snowflake is OK with it, she can stay with us!

OTL and Snowflake have reached an agreement, Snowflake will allow OTL to pick her up without biting him and OTL has agreed not to put his fingers into her cage or stroke her nose unless she says so!

This morning OTL ordered up the new Ferret Tower for Snowflake to live in, so she won't have to stay in the 'Shower Cage' for too long!

We were watching her eat a chicken wing this morning and she was crunching up the bone as well!

My idea of Heaven!

Holly and I left her to it and went off for our morning walk along The Sea Wall. We were having a game of 'Chase The Ball' when who should arrive but Barney!

'Hello Girlie's' he said, 'Look I've been practising my 'Winning Smile', what do you think?'

Do I look good or wot!

Holly said that his tongue was too long for his head but he didn't care, he still reckons he looks good!

Then he showed us a new trick he has been working on over the last few days and he kicked his ball along the path and it bounced all the way down to the muddy beach!

.......and he shoots for goal!

Back home the postman arrived with a book for OTL, it was 'The Complete Book of Ferrets' that had been recommended as a good guide for looking after ferrets. Snowflake says that it should be worth a laugh, just like 'Training for Dogs'!

This should be fun!

Snowflake was allowed to have a run around OTL's office and found his fleece, so she was wriggling all through the arms and underneath it, poking her nose out at different points! She was having a great time especially as OTL was spinning her around on the fleece as well!

In the end she was getting a bit tired so OTL picked her up and put her back into her bed for a snooze!

I'm exhausted!

After lunch we were out with OTL delivering some stuff and to get a new tyre for the car 'cos it got a puncture and couldn't be repaired. After that it was down to the Riverside Park for a run but it was very wet and muddy. Holly thought it was fun to jump in the puddles copying some young Two Legs that were walking ahead of us!

Splish, Splash, Splosh!

 We both had fun chasing up and down the beach as well, first I would chase Holly then she chased me!

Can't catch me!

 Back home we found Snowflake asleep, you know she sleeps as much as we do!

Off to have a nibble of our Doggy Scoff 'cos OTL has got Curry tonight so there is no chance of getting any of his dinner tonight!

See you tomorrow and we think OTL is going to see if he can trim Snowflakes claws, best of luck!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake!

Back to Work for OTL and we ride 'Shotgun'!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy & Holly & Snowflake here again!

Poor Old Two Legs is back to work today, plunking away on the computer and trying to get stuff done.

We got an early trip along The Sea Wall today and met up with Barney, he was out with his owners grandchildren who are staying for a few days!

Can we play in the mud?

Looking across the mud we spotted a Wormy Man heading off for some serious digging!

The Early Man Catches The Worm!

Holly Dog kept dragging her paws and at one time we couldn't see her at all. OTL had to start walking back along the path before he spotted her in the grass. At first we thought she had found a sniff worthy of a roll but instead, she was just having a poo!

Where's Holly Dog?

Lunch time we went off with OTL to deliver stuff to the Big School in the town and we went along to do our 'Guarding Stuff' while he was out of the car, OTL calls it 'Riding Shotgun'!

So Holly stood on her back legs and woofed at the people around the car and I jumped up onto the steering wheel and set the horn going!

Nearly scared the Tail off me!

After the deliveries we headed off to The Forest! We haven't been down there for ages and when we go there we knew why!

It was deep mud everywhere!

Just a bit Quaggy!

 We decided to get off the path where we could and hunt some squirrel but no matter how hard we tried, there were none to see at all!

Was that Rat, Squirrel, Rabbit or Blackbird?

It was just not our day for chasing anything, even each other!

If we ran in the woods we tripped over the bramble branches and if we ran on the path we ended up with more mud on us! OTL was OK, he went off and started to photograph last years fungi!

Last Years Fungi!

OTL was on the lookout for squirrels, the same as us but he wanted to spot one before us. That was OK but he didn't see one either, but he did spot a Jay bouncing from one branch to the other!

Hello Mr Jay!

 He tried to get as close as he could but the bird flew off, not trusting OTL not to steal his Chestnuts!

Holly had a good idea, instead of trying to spot the squirrels in the tree, we should look for their paw prints in the mud! Well, we stood on the log and looked all over the place but all we saw were Two Legs and dog paw prints, not a squirrel in sight!

Look for the Paw Print!

We got back home and both had to have a bath to get rid of the mud, well, it wasn't a real bath 'cos we stood in the bowl of warm water and shampoo and got a wash like that.

Off for a snooze while OTL tries to tempt Snowflake out for a run but she has pigged out on mince beef and all she wants to do is sleep!

Not sure what is for dinner tonight, OTL's dinner that is, but we will have a go at mugging him no matter what he has, except salad, we don't do salad, mind you, the ham is nice but we prefer beef and stuff like that!

See you tomorrow and it is 'Decision Day' for Snowflake, so she better be on her best behaviour!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly & Snowflake

Is She Staying or Is She Going?

Hello Woofers!

Daisy & Holly back again!

We had our morning walk along The Sea Wall but it was The Missus taking us, so no pictures! Sorry!

Old Two Legs had to go out this morning and was awake before us! Now that's a first!

He even woke Snowflake up and cleaned up the 'Shower Cage' before she was fully awake and that's the reason she bit him again 'cos she thought he was after her stash of Ferret Nuggets!

You know, OTL's hand is beginning to take on the  shape of a pin cushion and with just as many holes!

Come on.......Gissa Finger!

 Just as a treat, we allowed TM to give some of our chicken to Snowflake, but it had to be raw 'cos she likes it 'Raw an' Wriggling'!

Mmmmm! Raw an' Wriggling'!

Lunch time, OTL was back so out we went, in the rain, with our coats!

OTL was throwing the ball for me but being careful not to throw it into the sea! I have found this super way of winding him up, you see, normally, I would pick the ball up and run into the grass and wait for him to find me, pick the ball up and throw it again.

This time, what I do is to get the ball, wander over to the Sea Wall and ever so slowly, drop the ball onto the beach!

It drives him potty 'cos he has to either jump down or go back to the steps to get onto the beach, then of course, he has to get back up onto the Sea Wall again!

Well, I like to keep him fit!

Look OTL, Bouncy Bouncy onto the beach again!

We met up with a real Bozo Labrador that was practising how the ambush everyone, trouble was, he kept on bobbing up and down to see what was going on!

I'm Ambushing You!

We tried to tell him to lay in the grass without moving but he said that he gets so excited that his tail knocks all the plants about and gives away his position!

Holly said that he should go back to chasing balls!

Look, Line Dancing Again!

All the time it was getting wetter and even OTL was getting soaked, even in his New Super Duper All Weather Coat!

Even I was thinking about enrolling in Evening Classes on how to use a Two Leg Loo, I wouldn't get so wet having a wee!

It can't be that hard, It's just the chain that's difficult!

Back home, OTL got Snowdrop out of her cage for a run around and she bit him twice!

You know, the way she goes at it you'd think she was half Vampire!

Fangs for the Nibble OTL!

She was getting all excited about being let out in the office, she even jumped onto OTL's lap from the desk top, which she has never done before, then she tried to climb up OTL's shirt but he wasn't having her too near to his ears!

So she got put back into the shower where she tried to toss her bed box up into the air!

1 2 3 Hup!

She made such a noise that OTL let her out again but put her back when she tried to play with his laptop, something about 'Where is the Mouse?'

I know there's a mouse here somewhere!

So, what has OTL decided to do about Snowflake?

Nothing!

Well, nothing at the moment, he would keep her like a shot if he wasn't loosing so much blood!

So, he is giving it until Friday, that will be seven days since we found her in the garden and then we can legally keep her as a member of the family.

Dinner is on the table, so I'm off to mug OTL.

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly & Snowflake the Vampire!

Another New Year!

Hello Woofers!

A Happy New Year to you all from Daisy & Holly & Snowflake!

After last nights fun and games we didn't get to bed until two in the morning!

We all overslept, including Snowflake, who just complained about the loud music!

So the morning walk was a bit late by about two hours! But that was no problem and we were hunting a New Year Rabbit just for fun!

No New Year Rabbit today!

We did spot a super present for Snowflake, it would help Old Two Legs from getting Snowflakes fangs buried into his hand!

You can have this any time!

Jack even offered it to us 'Free of Charge' if we could get it off his face!

Charlie wanted to be let off the lead!

We also met up with Charlie who was being kept on his lead 'cos of the other doggies out walking and he showed off good and proper when he had to stay on the lead!

Lunch time walk was late as well but it was OK 'cos there were loads of people around and the tide was in, so, OTL had to throw the new ball very carefully 'cos it was a very High Tide!

He still threw it on the beach!

But it was no good, I still had to go onto the beach to get it!

In the end he put it in his pocket 'cos there were other dogs coming along that could have pinched it!

Better hide my ball!

Back home OTL let Snowflake have a run around while he was clearing up the shower and she seemed to enjoy the freedom. Then OTL shoved us out of the office and Snowflake had a good run around in there.

First of all she tried to get OTL to allow her into the bag of  Ferret Nuggets but as OTL says, 'She has enough in her bowl!'

Come on, let me at them!

While Snowflake was 'Ferreting Around' in the office, OTL picked up my Squeaky Toy that I use to make OTL jump. I normally step on it and make him jump and it's also good when I want to get him to do some thing!

So, OTL gave it to Snowflake to play with, first he squeezed it so the jet of air shot out and blew her whiskers and with that she ran forward and sunk her fangs into it, then she grabbed one of the ears and bit that as well.

OTL says that is the nearest he has ever seen her get to 'playing' 'cos so far all she has done is eat, poo and bite OTL!

It don't taste like Chicken!

After a good play around and investigating the office, she curled up in OTL's hand and went all 'sleepy'. So, OTL took the opportunity to remove five more small ticks from her ears and behind her head. Normally she won't let him near those parts and has even turned her head around, grabbed the Tick Removal Tool and spat it on the ground!

OTL was all tickled pink that she felt safe enough to have a snooze and tried to do a 'Self Portrait' of her in his hands.

So, with his left holding Snowflake he took this fuzzy picture, technically rubbish, but good for a record of how she is feeling safer with OTL!

Someone turn the light out I want a Snooze!

OTL decided to put her back in her cage, so gently he put her back into the carrying cage that serves as her bed and place to stash all her food.

As OTL let her go and started to pull his hand out, she whipped around and wrapped her fangs around his hand!

Well, she thought he was pinching her stash of Ferret Nuggets!

It was OK, no blood this time!

OTL has been called for dinner, Bambi Burgers and chips tonight, so we should be OK for some Eggy Burger 'cos we do like our burger dipped in egg yoke!

It's a Doggy Thing!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy & Holly & Snowflake
