Mr Brambles is getting faster!

Hi Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy, Holly Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

This morning we were all having a discussion about the best way to dig a hole. 

When I say us I mean Holly, Snowflake, Mr Brambles and me! Old Two Legs was in having his shower, so we didn't include him in the discussion!

Both ferrets reckon they knew all about holes 'cos they are trained to dive down rabbit holes and chase the rabbits Out, so they have a better understanding of hole structures than us dogs wot chase rabbits Down holes and don't go into holes any further than our tails!

It was agreed that when we got down to the beach, we would all dig a hole and have it inspected to see who's the best!

Snowflake started off by getting down under the shells until she found good sand.

This is how it's done!

 Once she had got down to good sand, Mr Brambles joined in and helped shovel loads of sand out of the way.

Come on Snowflake, we'll show them!

The trouble with digging holes in the sand is not taking notice of the wetness of the sand. The wetter it is the heavier it is when you try shovelling it out of the hole!

This is getting too much like hard work!

Now Holly and I knew this, so we just sat back and watched them get slower and slower!

You see, we have done our fair share of wet sand hole digging and didn't fancy getting too worn out before the day started!

So, we just sat there on top of the Sea Wall watching them!

Well, I'm not going to tell them!

All this hole digging is good for building up you leg muscles and you can see Mr Brambles is improving every day. After the hole dig, he ran almost all the way back beside Snowflake and even she commented that he was 'Looking Good'

When we got back to the car, they both had a drink from our water bowl, then dived into their travelling cage for another slurp from their own water bottle.

It was so funny watching Mr Brambles trying to get a drink while Snowflake kept licking his ear and nibbling at his neck!

That Tickles!

In the end they were both laughing and rolling about on the cushion!

OTL was out with his Dustbin Lorries again today and hasn't got back yet.

We're off now to see if there is any decent food downstairs, anything has got to be better than that Doggy Scoff!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Holly gets a Scare!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

It's all happening today!

First of all we got woken up by The Missus at about four thirty this morning, bouncing out of bed and waking everyone up, just 'cos she got an idea for a card!

Holly reckons TM needs some worming tablets to sort her out, Old Two Legs says that he has been trying to sort her out for more years than he can remember and hasn't even got near to it!

Well, having been woken up so early we decided to go out for an early jog along the Sea Wall. When we got down there, Mr Brambles was all set for a good run but Miss Snowflake chose to stay wrapped up in OTL's arms, warm and out of the wind!

That didn't stop Mr Brambles, he was charging about, sniffin' the sniffs and getting under our paws!

When we got down to the beach, it took Snowflake a little while to wake up but when she was awake and moving, both she and Mr Brambles dug a hole in the sand together. Holly and I thought it was a good idea, so we dug one of our own, but much bigger and deeper and we were woofing and growling while we did it!

Mr Brambles said the noise was 'Just Too Much' and marched over to our hole and pushed us out!

Cheek!

We had a great time running up and down the beach. Snowflake normally wakes up then heads straight back to the car park but today she was all full of it and joined us in the fun of rushing from one hole to the next!

Back home for a brush and some breakfast and then OTL had to go out on his own. No Dustbin Lorries today but this time it was the local council and some of their radios that needed 'Sorting Out'!

He was back later but too late for lunch, but just in time for our afternoon walk.

We left the ferrets sleeping, all cuddled up to each other in a Ferret Doughnut!

Down on the Sea Wall, we stopped to watch a rat dancing about on the beach looking for some shell fish for his lunch!

Nah! That's a Rat, not a Ferret!

Holly said it could be a ferret and wanted to 'Rescue' it but I put her straight and told her about the rat tail!

Then, as a surprise for me, OTL got a tennis ball out of his pocket and showed it to me! Well, I wanted him to throw it straight away but he kept 'Pretending' to throw it which got me a bit would up, so I gave him one of my ball throwing woofs!

Throw It!

 We had some fun with him throwing it and me chasing the ball. Even Holly joined in when we were on the beach.

OTL spotted a 'Common Carder-bee' that was buzzing around some thistle plants and tried to take a picture but it was too quick for a clear shot but at least you can see the super yellow/orange back!

'Common Carder-bee'

Then it was back to ball throwing and still he kept teasing me until in the end I woofed to him to 'Throw The Damned Ball'!

Oh! I was getting cross with him!

'Throw The Damn Ball'!

In the end he put the ball back in his pocket and I showed off for a bit!

Holly sort of wandered off to do her own thing and missed us turning for home, so she turned at the next path and headed up to the top of the hill. OTL, looking behind him, couldn't see Holly, so started back down the hill to follow the path she had taken.

Holly in the mean time had got to the top of the hill, and couldn't see us, so she chased off in the direction we would have gone.

Now she is in front of OTL and I who are looking for her on top of the hill.

OTL has this special whistle he makes that calls us back to him and he was giving it some wellie calling to Holly, where ever she was!

Holly heard the call, stopped down near the rabbit patch, turned around and legged it back up the hill.

We were standing just over the hill when OTL spotted Holly running down the path to meet us!

We all were glad to see each other and Holly licked OTL and he rubbed her tail and I woofed a welcome hello to Holly!

So, there we were, all back together again!

Back home to see if the ferrets are awake!

OTL is out tomorrow on the Dustbin Lorries again, so that means TM  will be taking us out but she can't whistle like OTL so we have to keep an eye on her!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Another Sunny, Funny Sunday!

Hi Woofers!

It's us back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Yesterday was fun and we even got a photo sent by Archie's Mum of  Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles, together in Old Two Legs hands!

A Fist Full of Ferrets!

This morning, again, both ferrets came out with us and as normal, Miss Snowflake decided to cuddle up to OTL until we got onto the beach!

She took so long getting going that Holly and I decided to have a cooling paddle in the mud and I will admit, I even sat down 'cos it was so wonderful!

This is just Heaven!

OTL said that I was a Mucky Puppy and so was Holly for sitting in the mud as well.

Do we care?

Back home it was Lambs Heart for breakfast followed by a snooze.

Well, we tried to get a snooze but OTL was installing a new ink system for his super duper printer. Now you know what it's like with OTL, Instructions? Wot Instructions? Off he went pulling bits out and shoving bits in and then it was time to charge the system with ink.

Now, they supplied all the inks and a big book of instructions AND A PAIR OF RUBBER GLOVES.

Now these rubber gloves are for when you charge the ink system with six different coloured inks.

They know it could be messy and they know that ink on the fingers doesn't come off easily!

OTL has got CYAN coloured fingers now!

Wot a Plonker!

Mind you, it made him stop, have a think and take us out for our lunchtime walk while he cooled down from grumbling away about the inky fingers he now has!

When we got down on the beach, the tide was in, so, off I went!

This is COOL!

 Of course, Miss Goody Four Paws, stayed out of the sea and said she didn't fancy getting her bits wet.

She doesn't know what she is missing!

Miss Goody Four Paws!

We spotted a Shopping Trolley in the water and asked what it was doing, to which it replied, 'Rusting, Just Rusting'!

Of course, OTL was there clicking away at the butterflies and this Common Blue is about the best he could manage today 'cos the wind was blowing in off the sea and blowing all the grass and flowers all over the place!

Polyommatus icarus

As we headed back to the car we spotted a Collie type running after a ball that was being thrown and we were fascinated on how he managed to jump up in the air and catch it! He just seemed to hang there in the air until the ball landed in his mouth!

We were Mesmerised!

Is he good or is he Good!

Back home to a snooze and try to ignore OTL grumbling about the inky fingers!

In the end he managed to get it all working and he even remembered to put the rubber gloves on when he filled up the next five reservoirs full of ink!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

A 'Master Class' in Ferret?

Hi Woofers!

It's us, 'The Famous Four' back again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

What a day today!

It has been all 'Go' since we woke up this morning.

First off we had to get out early to get all the stuff up to the village hall for The Missus's Master Class. Then it was off to The Sea Wall with both Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake.

Now that was a first for Old Two Legs, all four of us out together and no 'Helper'!

He didn't do too bad, lost me once but that wasn't unusual 'cos I was off after the rabbits in the 'Rabbit Patch' and OTL always knows I'm not going to get too lost!

To start off with, Mr Brambles wanted to be put down a soon as possible but Snowflake decided that a nice, warm, comfortable arm was the best place to stay until she got to the beach!

On the other hand, Mr Brambles was up for 'Run an Sniff' jog all the way down to the beach.

Whenever we stopped he would come rushing up from behind and start sniffin' but he started with us instead of the sniff, it don't half make you jump when a ferret suddenly appears between your back legs!

Down on the beach he was digging away while Holly and I had a 'Run and Chase', then I tried to sniff the hole but he chased me off!

Go an' get a 'ole of Your Own!

 Miss Snowflake woke up and everyone was up and moving!

Come On I'm Off Now!

We all have to keep up with her and Mr Brambles did very well.

...and this is the Wall of Death!

I'm sure that OTL applied 'The Brake' to Miss Snowflake just so Mr Brambles had a chance to keep up, especially over the Rocky Bit!

It's OK if you 'Don't Look Down'!

Back home to a plate of 'Doggy Scoff' (YUK!) and a good brush down in readiness for our visit to the village hall.

Around twelve thirty OTL started to get us all ready, harness for the ferrets and our lead for us, plus some water and a towel!

We had decided that after the visit we would be off to the New Park for a change but the ferrets said they would pass on that outing and return to bed!

So, off we went to the village hall.

OTL parked up in the car park and then let us out so we could rush around to the hall entrance, he followed on with the travelling cage.

Then we crashed through the doors!

It was super, we met all the ladies, got patted and stroked, Holly went off looking for biscuits or anything else that was edible!

OTL was hanging onto the ferrets, making sure everyone knew the 'Bitey End' from 'The Strokey End'!

We must say that Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake behaved themselves very well!

We said Hello to all our fans and said hello to some who might be!

After that we dropped the ferrets back home and then off to the New Park!

As soon as we got there OTL was snapping away at the insects.

Go On, Buzz Off!

I didn't hang about waiting for him, I was off to the Swimming Hole!

It was great fun and even Holly had a small 'Dip' to cool her claws off!

OTL threw the ball in but it floated too far out of my reach and I had to ask a passing collie to get it back for me!

He said his name was 'Patch' and he'll do it this once but not again 'cos he had his own ball to play with!

Come Back Ball!

 Then he went back to 'Fetching' his own ball!

Throw It! Throw It!

 Then a big Schnauzer passed by and said that we should take better care of our ball!

Keep Your Ball Safe Girls!

 Off we went around the 'Orchard Walk' which is about two and a half miles long. We stopped a couple of times for a 'Rest' and OTL was back to photographing insects again.

This one is a Gatekeeper Butterfly, not a bad photograph either!

Shut the gate!

 Back home to a snooze and wait for TM to return home. We always give her a big 'Welcome Back Lick' and Holly even lets he have a lick of her chew!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy,, Holly Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

It's Raining!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles back with you again!

We woke up this morning and there was rain falling on the garden and the pond. When the rain is really pouring down, it makes a super 'Tinkly' sound and providing your not stuck out in it, it is very restful.

So, there was The Missus, with the back door open, sitting on the sofa, listening to the rain fall.

Trouble was, she forgot to shut up all the other windows that were open and now we have wet, damp, dribbly curtains!

At walkies time the rain had stopped and Snowflake had gone to bed again, but this time she hid in the big box of paper that Old Two Legs keeps as an adventure playground for the ferrets. It was only the paper moving up and down that gave her away!

Mr Brambles was well up for a run and was waiting inside the travelling cage, waiting for OTL to put Mr Brambles harness on!

So that was it, just three of us this morning.

The rain had stopped but the grass was very wet and there were puddles all over the place. I went off chasing rabbits again, Mr Brambles was in and out of the grass sniffin' the sniffs and Holly was wandering about trying not to get too wet!

Sniffin' The Sniffs!

I could hear OTL calling me but I was having too much fun, well that was until I got caught on some bramble bushes and couldn't get free. OTL, Holly and Mr Brambles were wandering off, as they normally do, expecting me to catch up but I couldn't, I was pulling and jumping and wriggling but that bush was holding on tight.

I sat there and started to think, if I went in forwards, then by moving backwards, that should get the brambles out of my collar.

So I tried that and after a bit I was free!

I legged it across the long grass and up the hill until I found the others. I was a bit upset by that bush and I had to have a cuddle with OTL when he crouched down to pick bits out of my coat.

In fact I jumped up onto his lap and managed to get his nice clean trousers all soaking wet and just a little muddy, then he patted my tail and shoved me off!

Mr Brambles was still jogging along and enjoying the wet grass sniffs.

Holly and I had some fun chasing each other around on the beach and just as a joke we jumped into the hole Mr Brambles was digging! That was until he chased us out!

....and stay outta My Hole

The beach was full of interesting 'Maritime Sniffs' today, mostly sea weed and plastic bottles and sea gull poo!

So Many Sniffs!

Mr Brambles said that he never knew there could be so many sniffs in such a small area!

We spotted a Wormy Man heading off to dig in the mud and Holly suggested we go and see what he was digging.

There goes The Wormy Man!

 When we saw just how far his boots were sinking into the mud, we decided that OTL might just have something to say about it when we wanted to get back in the car!

Well, maybe not this time!

 Mr Brambles has got short legs and can't run as fast as us, but, some times we get really bored waiting for him to catch us up and to help him get a move on, we call to him to hurry up and Holly even called him 'Shorty' today.

That was it, he called back that if he caught us in the car, we would both feel his teeth in our butt's!

Oooh! Don't he get upset when you call 'Come on Shorty'!

When we got back to the car, Holly and I sat up the front with the big antenna and sat down on our butts so Mr Brambles couldn't  get to us!

After getting dried on our towel, he was put straight back into his cage, so there was no chance of him trying his teeth out on us today!

We had to share the car with a big antenna that OTL is messing about with on the Dustbin Lorry Job he is working on. He is delivering it this afternoon, fitting it next week and he reckons there are more lorries and even little sweepers he will be working on!

I don't mind delivering it but the pong when you get there is Terrible!

Once again, The Missus had to take us out for a walk, boring, boring, boring! We will be glad when OTL gets finished then we can have some proper walks and maybe even get down to The Forest where we haven't been for ages!

So, we are sitting by the window now waiting for OTL to come back and get his 'Welcome Home Lick'!

See you tomorrow and we will actually see some of you tomorrow won't we?

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Miss Snowflake & Mr Brambles try walking together and OTL grows a Ferret Moustache!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

What a day!

To start off, Holly wasn't feeling too good yesterday evening, she said it was the heat and it just took all her energy. So that was a good excuse to snooze the evening away!

Old Pongy Chops (Old Two Legs) got back late but said that he had finished all the work and he didn't have to go back!

Oh Yeah? He got a call first thing this morning 'cos one radio wasn't working properly, so he has to go down there this afternoon!

But, back to this morning.

The very expensive 'Tandem Coupler' coupler arrived yesterday and OTL said he would give it a try today!

The Missus was all up for this and even brought her camera along as well to record the fun and games!

Well, as predicted, one ferret wanted to go one way and the other wanted to stay still and in the end the 'Tandem Coupler' got all tangled up and there were ferrets all over the place!

Mr Brambles was getting cross with Miss Snowflake who wanted to go back and Miss Snowflake was getting cross with Mr Brambles 'cos he wanted to go into the grass and OTL was getting cross with everyone!

No, This Way!

In the end, OTL put them both on separate leads and they then went off doing their own thing while OTL was getting all confused in the middle!

Situation Normal!

This is Better!

Mr Brambles had great fun doing his 'Big Game Hunter' trick of hiding in the grass and shouting BOO!

BOO!

He thought that was super fun and kept doing that all the way down to the beach. OTL and Miss Snowflake thought it was funny to begin with but after fifty times the joke wore a little thin!

In the end OTL picked up Mr Brambles and Snowflake, just so he could make some progress!

We're all going OTL's Way!

Now it's OK to get carried some times 'cos it helps you save a bit of energy for digging holes on the beach but it got all embarrassing when OTL held both ferrets up to his nose and asked us if a Ferret Moustache would look good on him.

Ferret Moustache anyone?

YUK!

There are some things just too horrible to contemplate and that is one of them!

Both ferrets went back to sniffin' and Holly and I joined in but what interests a ferret doesn't always turn us on!

Mmmmm! Mouses or maybe a vole?

Holly thought it was a good idea to have a paddle in the cool mud but TM was too close and so decided to just have a sniff rather than sit down in it!

To Sniff, or Not to Sniff, That is the question!

 On the way back to the car we met up with Barney, we hadn't seen him for some time and it was good to catch up on all the news!

Barney was interested in Mr Brambles and even asked OTL if he could have a game with him!

Go On! You throw him and I'll go and fetch him back!

 OTL said that Barney should stick to fetching balls!

When we got back to the car, we were all hot and thirsty, Miss Snowflake got to the water bowl first.

Oh! That's Better!

 Then I had a drink, then Mr Brambles had a good drink and a wash of his whiskers as well.

Holly was sitting on the centre consul of the car looking back at the ferrets and she was having a good old grumble, it went something like this,

'WillyouhurryupandgetyoursnoutoutofthatwaterbowlandletsomeoneelsehaveadrinkbeforeIdieofthirst!'

Mr Brambles said he was sorry and got out of the water bowl but Holly wouldn't go near it until Mr Brambles was put back into the travelling cage together with Miss Snowflake!

She maybe a potty puppy but she's not that daft!

Back home to breakfast and a snooze, which we all needed, both ferrets were exhausted after their run.

The only thing that would get me out of bed is a BIG bottle of Ferretone!

 Mr Brambles said you could keep the Ferretone until later, he needed a good long snooze!

Gone Man, Solid Gone!

Well that's about all today, at lunch time OTL was off to do a radio and we got a walk with TM at lunch time.

So we are now waiting for OTL to come back and get our 'Big Puppy Welcome' type greeting. That's where he gets on his knees, removes his glasses and then opens the door and we are then all over him!

Great Fun!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

He is still Pongy!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly Snowflake and Mr Brambles here with you again!

You know, last night was very peaceful, no midnight wees, no early morning woofs and Holly managed to jump up onto the bed this morning, without any help from Old Two Legs.

Mind you, The Missus was up at five, saying she has an idea for a card design.

Holly and I think she should get out and get some fresh air, all this glue and glitter stuff is doing things to her brain!

Miss Snowflake came out with us this morning for a walk but it was a bit windy and the temperature was well down.

Miss Snowflake doesn't do cold.

When we got to the car park, OTL let us out of the car to do the initial 'Rabbit Chase' while he got Miss Snowflake all done up in her harness and lead.

This morning she stayed at the back of the travelling cage and refused to come out! She said it was too cold and she wanted to stay inside today!

You go on your own, I'm not coming out, I'm going back to bed!

 OTL said that she had to come out for a run 'cos that way she will remain fit and healthy! Snowflake on the other hand suggested that OTL go for a run, (yeah, right!) and then he should buy her a Hamster Wheel and that way she can get all the exercise she needs, in the warm!

That didn't go down well with OTL, who is very careful with his money. He said that a run along the beach was healthier and not as costly as a Hamster Wheel and anyway, she'd never fit in a Hamster Wheel 'cos she is too big!

So, that was it, Miss Snowflake showed off on the beach but in the end did her 'Run' and then she was straight back to bed as soon as she got home! She even managed to get a cuddle from Mr Brambles!

Lunchtime came and all we had been offered was 'Doggy Scoff', not our favourite food and we both left it alone. Holly even asked if she could have some of the Ferret Food 'cos she loves the taste. I'm not so keen, a little nibble is enough for me!

TM took us out again across the Farm, I spotted a couple of rabbits but the lead was well attached and I had to pass on them, this time, but one day........one day!

OTL telephoned through to TM to say he was still working and I was sitting by the door doing my 'Whimpering' 'cos I missed OTL being here. You know, TM just laughed at me and called me a 'Soppy Puppy' !

She's got no heart, I blame all the glue and glitter, but we seem to be back where we started!

It won't be long before Old Pongy Two Legs is back!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

It's another Pongy Day!

Hi Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy, Holly Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Last night was nice and cool here in North Kent and at three thirty this morning when Holly fancied a wee, it was a clear sky with loads of stars twinkling away!

Old Two Legs didn't seem that interested in the stars 'cos he banged his head on the door and was watching his very own 'Star Show'!

This morning Mr Brambles came with us on our walk along the Sea Wall, Holly and I were off after the rabbits.

Holly had to go back to OTL 'cos her front paw was sore and hurting. OTL managed to find the cause, it was a grass seed stuck between the pads on her paw, Holly says it was nearly as bad as a thorn!

That removed, she was off again chasing rabbits with me!

Mr Brambles was not too happy 'cos OTL had forgotten his 'Ferret Sized Lead' and he had to put up with using our one!

What A Drag!

 He had to have both the lead and the Twin Harness that Holly and I have to wear! Mr Brambles is now looking for a fool proof way of getting OTL to remember the lead, and it has got to be Fool Proof!

I don't Believe It!

Mr Brambles was having problems 'cos when it was dragging on the ground he was being dragged to one side all the time.

He said it was exhausting  and every so often would do a 'Wiggle' and get the lead to fall on the other side of his body!

Now that worked, up to a point, 'cos now he is going along tossing the lead from one side to the other but he was walking like a snake!

....and now to the Right!

 Late morning OTL was off again to go and play with the Dustbin Lorries so we know what state he is going to be in when he gets back..........PONGY!

The Missus took us out at lunch time, over the Farm again, loads more grass darts and I still was not allowed near the rabbit field!

This really is too much! We'll be glad when OTL finishes his work and we can get back to proper walkies!

TM wouldn't take Mr Brambles or Snowflake out with us which was a shame 'cos there are loads of sniffs all over the place!

Instead, they spent the afternoon snoozing!

Expert Snoozing, Ferret Style!

 Mr Brambles wasn't too happy about getting kicked out of bed by Snowflake. Now Mr Brambles says that he knows how OTL feels when he gets kicked out of bed, or falls out!

TM has told us that we have got to put in an appearance at her Master Class on Saturday to say 'Hello' to everyone and that includes Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

You can imagine what it will be like when we walk in, Dog Strokers to the right and Ferret Fanciers to left.

OTL always points out to people who feel the need to stroke a ferret, 'This end is the Bitey End and this is The Strokey End'!

You'd be surprised how many people forget that, but they forget it only once!

No sign of OTL yet but we can sniff dinner being cooked, so we're off to see what we can mug.

Bye bye for now, see you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

I see fun coming soon!

Hi Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Now, as you know, Old Two Legs has been out today doing 'Work' and the work involves working on Dustbin Lorries. Not that we have anything against Dustbin Lorries, we all need them to take away the rubbish.

But, when OTL comes back after a days working on them, he 'Honks' I mean, really Honks, so bad that we tell him to get up to the shower and have a good wash down, all over, from the top of his bald head all the way to his paws, sorry, toes!

And put his clothes straight in the washing machine to be washed!

He says it doesn't bother him 'cos his sense of smell has almost disappeared!

It may not bother him but it sure leaves an impression on us!

Phew!

We were out this morning first thing and today we took Snowflake with us for a walk. She was not in a good mood this morning, she would have preferred to stay in bed and snooze instead of running along the beach!

It took ages to get her going, but when she started, she took off like a rocket!

That ferret can sure get a move on when she wants!

I think that maybe we should take Mr Brambles in the morning 'cos he likes to have a 'Doggy' style stroll and a sniff!

Lunch time came and The Missus took us over the Farm but left Mr Brambles at home!

Mr Brambles was not happy!

We got covered in those nasty grass darts and TM even kept us on our lead until we were past the rabbits!

Come back smelly OTL, all is forgiven!

Before OTL set off for work he was having a look on the Internet thingy on the computer 'cos Fiona suggested that we get a Yoke Harness for the ferrets.

OTL always does what he is told, almost all the time, and he has purchased, at considerable expense, a Ferret Yoke Harness or as they call it a 'Tandem Coupler'

I know that the picture is nothing like Snowflake and Mr Brambles but it gives you an idea of the size.

Now, close your eyes and picture this,  Mr Brambles with his laid back 'stroll and sniff' way of walking and Miss Snowflake with her 'Lightning Bolt' way of running?

So, Mr Brambles stops and because he is heavier than Snowflake, she ends up running around him while she is attached to the 'Tandem Coupler', OTL's feet are taken away from under him by the speed of Snowflakes circular perambulations, at this point, both ferrets take off like a helicopter and land on OTL as he is trying to get up and hang onto the lead at the same time!

Yeah! We got some interesting times to come!

Well, OTL has just come in and we have sent him off to the bathroom! This warm weather sort of enhances the Dustbin Lorry pong!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Exciting Times!

Hi Woofers!

We are back, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake & Mr Brambles!

You know, nothing much happened last night and we all got a good nights sleep! Well that's after we went 'Cat Chasing' around the garden at eleven thirty last night!

This morning Old Two Legs was cleaning out the Ferret Cage and complaining 'cos the ferrets shove their Poo Tray around the cage then decide to have a poo, get into the tray, back up to the edge and poo over the top onto the cage floor!

We think it great fun but OTL has to get on his hands and knees to clean it all out while at the same time Snowflake and Mr Brambles chase the cleaning cloth that OTL is using, all around the cage floor!

This morning both ferrets were in Hyper Game Mode and were dancing around the office, chasing each other and OTL. It was decided that OTL would take BOTH ferrets out this morning, together!

Now this calls for some serious planning. Think about it, two ferrets going in two directions, plus two terriers going in another two directions! Mmmmm, call in reinforcements, enter The Missus!

Well, we did a 'Trial' walk around the picnic area and then headed off down the path.

Yes it was a bit of a chaotic walk but we all managed to do our stuff and get back to the car without getting lost!

Maybe next time OTL will bring the camera to record the occasion!

Lunch time we left the ferrets at home, fast asleep and snoring their whiskers off!

The tide was on it's way out so we missed our swim and instead we just had a little paddle, well Holly had the paddle while I was sniffin' the sniffs!

Mmm, Wet Mud and Water!

 It was then that Holly decided to joining me in doing some sniffin' up on the path!

Jus' Sniffin' OTL, Jus' Sniffin'!

We were running along the Sea Wall and met up with a family of Two Legs who had a big Bozo of a Labrador who was feeling the heat more than us. I stood up on my back legs and did my 'Special Woof' that says I'm big and fierce and I eat Labradors.

He just walked past and I heard him say 'In your Dreams Shorty!'

Holly came trotting up, laughing all over her chops, and said 'Hello Shorty!'

Hello Shorty!

That was it, hot or not she wasn't going to get away with that!

That's when the fight started!

OTL put us on our lead, a bit earlier than normal, just to stop us fighting!

It was just too much!

Back home we crashed out again to sleep the afternoon away. Well, it's the best thing you can do when it gets too warm!

OTL is off working tomorrow, so we will have to go out with The Missus and she is even worse for putting the lead on at the slightest sign of fun!

Ho Hum, life's just like that sometimes!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles
