OTL's been Busy!

Hi Woofers!

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

Yes, today has been a busy day for Old Two Legs. It started off this morning when we looked out of the window, rain, lots of it, OTL said that it may not be a good idea to let Snowflake come with us for our morning walk. You see, she has a 'Poo Pot' where she can go and other than a good sniff and some fresh air and a run, there is no real need for her to go out and the same for Mr Brambles. So it was just us dogs who had to brave the storm!

Holly is not into rain, especially the wet stuff, you know, the stuff that falls down and bounces on your nose, just when your not expecting it, even if it is raining!

When we get times like that Holly does her 'Nose Down Tail Up' and refuses to move!

It's cold and wet and I don't want to go!

 It gets so bad that OTL has to put her lead back on to make sure she doesn't run back to the car!

So, Holly got to walk behind OTL, grumbling about getting wet in the rain and not wanting to be out and there must be a law against this and she is going to tell The Missus when she gets back.......etc!

That all lasted until we got to the beach where OTL let us off the lead 'cos as he says, 'There's only back you can go so make the most of it!'

So we did, a sniff or two a wee and another sniff, just for the hell of it!

I remember this from yesterday!

 Holly soon forgot about moaning about the rain and we carried on sniffin' the sniffs!

Here! Can this be called a Wet Sniff?

We carried on like that until we got back to the car. Our rain coats kept most of the rain off except on our face and legs and chest but a good rub down with one of our towels soon got the worse off, then it was 'Back Home' to a Lambs Heart Breakfast!

Now we were supposed to go down to see Auntie Zoe today but TM is still sniffin' and coughing and complaining! So the trip was called off. Well for us but not OTL!

He was soon packed off with presents and stuff that needed to be taken down there. Now, near to Christmas and especially on a Friday loads of Two Legs go out shopping and driving around in their cars. OTL says 'It was Hell on the Motorway!'

Trouble with OTL, he hasn't done much driving since he retired, well, not in the rush hours or near to Christmas!

So, from just after our morning stroll up to late this afternoon we have had to put up with trips to the garden and spending all day snoozing, it's a hard life!

OTL got back about five and straight away took us down to the Sea Wall again, even though it was dark, but we still enjoyed a bit of fresh air and the sniffs!

The ferrets weren't too happy about being stuck in the cage all day but claws crossed, they should be able to get out tomorrow!

We're off to see whats for mugging tonight, so bye bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

TM's Got The Sniffles and Mr B Escapes!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here again!

The last few days have been frosty and very misty and today is no exception! Old Two Legs came out of the house with us on our lead and Snowflake in her travel cage and because we were pulling a bit, he skated the whole length of the path!

It was a good job the car was there or he could have ended up half way down the road!

We were OK 'cos we got 'Four Paw Drive' plus special 'Snow & Ice Grips' (Claws to You!)

Down on the Sea Wall the mist was not so thick as on the road going there, and the sun lit up the trees and the mist.

I see no Rabbits!

Miss Sneaky Snowflake had done her sneaky trick of getting into OTL's pocket again but this morning she had left her tail hanging out!

My Tail feels Cold!

 Down on the beach we tried to get the that super sniff and have another roll but OTL spotted what we were doing and came charging down the beach growling at us! So that was 'Good Bye' to that sniff!

We couldn't see Sheerness across the water but we could hear it, there was one ship that kept on sounding the fog horn but the shore based fog horn was silent, for a change!

A sort of Dickensian Scene, now, where's Magwitch! 

 Snowflake wasn't too impressed with the scene, all she could do was complain about the cold wet sea shells and how it all was just too cold on her tummy!

I Don't Do Cold & Damp and this beach is Cold & Damp!

Back home we greeted TM back from the Parlour and went Ooooo! and Aaaah! and Sooooper!

What did we get in return? ....................... DOGGY SCOFF!

It is bad enough having to cancel a trip to see Alun & Glynis that was planned today. We can't go 'cos TM has a rotten cold and is sniffling and sneezing all over the place. So, not wishing to give it to anyone, the visit is called off until next year!

We are all staying away from her 'cos we don't want to catch anything nasty before Christmas and the ferrets are running away to hide every time she comes into the office 'cos they can catch a cold from the Two Legs!

Mostly we are staying away from her 'cos she has served up DOGGY SCOFF, YUK! YUK! YUK!

No cuddles for her today!

Mr Brambles is full of life today and has been chasing around the office, in and out of the drawers in the office, throwing everything out onto the floor! Then he's getting lost behind all of OTL's photography stuff, tripods and lighting stuff!

OTL has got a big cardboard box that once he has emptied of stuff, he will make into an 'Adventure Playground' with inside tunnels and secret rooms to hide in and places full of scrunched up paper where the ferrets can bury themselves! Just in case though, the roof will be able to be opened, in case the ferrets get stuck or lost!

As if!

Come our lunch time walk, Mr Brambles was bashing on his door and saying that he is going crazy stuck in the cage all day. So, OTL relented and said that if he was a good boy then he could come out with us for a walk.

Having been told how to by Snowflake, he was soon trying out the 'Pocket Trick'!

I suppose it will be OK if it rains!

 Down on the beach he had a great time running over the sea shells and sniffing all the sniffs he has missed for the last week and a bit!

....and this one...and this one....and this one!

 Then he joined us in a 'Dig', Holly and I found a soft spot and were going like the clappers, so Mr Brambles decided to have his own hole and proceeded to shovel sand for all he was worth!

I've really missed hole digging!

 We were steaming and even OTL had to admit it was a 'Serious Hole'!

This is a Two Doggy Hole!

 On the way back to the car Mr Brambles was almost beside himself with pleasure, running and jumping all over the place, even his tail was up in 'Super Fluffy' mode!

You don't get fluffier than and Excited Ferret!

He said he couldn't remember the time when he had been so happy having a run! You know, he even chased us along the path laughing all the way!

Back home we all crashed out for a 'Before Dinner Snooze', not sure what is on the menu but what ever it is, it's just got to be better than Doggy Scoff!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles (Free at Last!)

Sunshine and Mists & Daisy Cam.

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Mr B is getting a bit 'Showy Off' 'cos he is still not allowed out for a run, nor is he allowed into Snowflakes half of Snowy Heights! He says it's not the same having to sleep on his own, rolled up in his blanket bed with nothing to cuddle except his tail!

Still, only six more days, as advised by the vet, then the trap door will be opened and it will be 'Back To Normal' again and he can even get a run down the beach again!

Talking of beaches, Old Two Legs clipped the 'Daisy Cam' onto my coat this morning and switched on the camera. Well, you decide if it worked!

No, neither could we! Back to the drawing board OTL!

To make up for it, OTL tried some shots with the 'Point & Shoot' camera and at least you can see it was very misty!

Where has everyone gone?

 Of course, Miss Sneaky Snowflake wormed her way into OTL's pocket again and decided to go back to sleep. Well, she said that the sun was in her eyes but we knew better!

Isn't the Sun bright this morning?

 We ran around having loads of fun and I was trying to get all the good shots with the Daisy Cam!

Snowflake had a quick wee on the beach and decided to head back to the car, you know she can get a good lick on when she puts her mind to it!

Outta Me Way Bozo's, Ferret Coming Through!

 Mind you, she did stop a few times to have a sniff at grass, just in case there was some weasel hiding in the long grass!

Mmmmm, Interesting, but not Weasel!

 We spotted our mate Archie who is still confined to the lead 'cos he likes running away! We said 'Hello' but we think his owner wanted to get home for breakfast!

Yo! Archie, watch out for the sniffs down on the bend, a bit whiffy!

 We didn't have time to tell him about the Daisy Cam and in hind sight I suppose that is the best thing to do,........keep it quiet until OTL gets it sorted!

Daisy Cam on the right side of my coat!

Back home to chicken and a snooze.

About mid morning OTL got a panic phone call from the Dustbin Men and had to go out and make their radio system better 'cos it had stopped working and was in need of some TLC!

So, that was it, we kept ourselves busy by trying to pinch each others chew and sitting at the window waiting for OTL to return!

Tomorrow should be fun, we have all gt to stand by the front door and go Ooooo! and Aaaah! and Sooooooper! and Wow! 

OTL is off to have her hair done. It's a good job she doesn't have to have wot we have! A bath and a blow dry while being strapped up in that harness so we can't move!

Most undignified!

Bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

The Last Jab!

Hi Woofers!

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

We woke up this morning to find there is frost on all the garage roofs and a foggy mist that stopped us seeing across the fields!

Old Two Legs said it was going to be fun trying to photograph the landscape through all that mist!

Still, when we got down to the Sea Wall it wasn't so bad as it was at home and he got this one, which isn't too bad!

The beginning of our walk!

 I prefer this shot even though it doesn't show the drama of the sun!

A Better Beginning to our Walk!

Down on the beach, Snowflake was making a big fuss about it being cold and damp and while she and OTL were 'Having a Discussion' about whether she should be picked up or not, Holly and I found a SNIFF!

Quick, another roll while he's not looking!

 Snowflake was doing one of her 'Show Off's' but OTL said what was the good of coming out for a 'Run' if she spent all her time in his jacket pocket?

Pleeese Daddy, Pick Me Up!

Holly by this time was sitting on the beach giving the Curlew the eyeball and wondering if it tasted like chicken!

Mmmmm, Chicken or Scampi?

 Snowflake showed off and decided that OTL wasn't going to carry her back to the car, so she set off at a pace that was just too fast for us doggy's to get a good sniff of the sniffs!

Come on! Get a Move On!

 At the top of the hill, OTL tried another picture of the sun and the mist, well, it's OK but not as good as his big camera!

Sheerness is over there!

Mr Brambles was off for his jab at ten thirty and this time it was a young Miss Vet type person, very nice and even gave OTL a 10% discount 'cos he turned up on a day when Old Age Pensioners get a discount!

OTL liked that!

Mr Brambles had his snout in a large bottle cap full of Ferretone and didn't even flinch when she stabbed him!

There's a Brave Ferret!

Then Mr B went off with OTL and The Missus 'cos TM wanted to do some shopping. Mr B and OTL stayed in the car and Mr B was running along the top of the dash board pulling faces at the Two Legs going past, none of whom even noticed him!

Let's face it, just how often do you see a ferret running across the top of a dashboard!


Back home to an afternoons snooze and get ready for a walk with OTL later!

We went for our walk along the Sea Wall, a little later than normal, as usual and we 'Sniffed the Sniffs' but there was nothing too exciting. In fact it was more fun watching OTL trying to take a picture of the sun!

Bye Bye Mr Sun

When he got fed up with that, he then tried photographing the moon!

Hello Mr Moon!

Maybe he should go back and study the 'Instruction Manual'!

Holly soon got bored with all this 'Celestial Photography' and carried on Sniffin' the Sniffs'!

Not Much to Sniff!

OTL has got Gammon tonight, so that means a good chance of some muggins!

So, that's it for our day today, we are going to try out the Daisy Cam tomorrow, should be good for a laugh!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We always meet the Bozo's!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly Snowflake and Mr Brambles here again!

You will be glad to know that Mr Brambles only just missed nipping the vet when he had his jab this morning. It was only the fact he was so busy slurping the Ferretone that he was slow to turn around when the vet stabbed him! Still, not to worry, tomorrow is the last jab, so there is still a chance!

Snowflake was super crafty again this morning and run up Old Two Legs arm and straight into his pocket, so she got a warm cuddly lift all the way down to the beach!

Who's the 'Sneaky Ferret' then?

 You could hear her cackling away as we marched along the Sea Wall!

Jus' wake me when we're there girls!

Mind you, when we got there she was emptied out of OTL's pocket and told to 'Get Going'!

Do I HAVE to?

 OTL was playing with the camera again as we waited for Miss Sneaky Snowflake to get moving.

You'd think it was sunrise but the sun had been up an hour or so!

Holly and I were having a sniff when from behind us, Snowflake called out, 'Hey, Could one of you give me a lift?'

Gissa Lift?

Just who does she think she is kidding! I told her that her claws were too sharp and on top of that we wouldn't trust her not to nip us!

You have just got to be joking!

It was as she was marching along the Sea Wall, all showy off with her nose in the air, when along came that Bozo puppy again!

He stood on top of the Sea Wall woofing at Snowflake and asking if she was 'Tasty'

Hey! Are you Tasty?

Snowflake wasn't in a good mood and called back that if he came down onto the beach she would rip his tongue out and use it for poo paper so then he could find out what a Ferret tastes like!

Ooh! She was in a right strop!

Next thing we saw was Snowflake climbing up the rock face to get to him but by then he had lost interest and was off for the rest of his walk!

Just let me at him!

 Holly said that the mood Snowflake was in she might just have beat him!

Sorry Snowflake, he's legged it!

Back home it was Lambs Heart for breakfast while Mr B went off to the vet.

Lunch time came and we were a bit late going out but that didn't matter 'cos it was still quite mild out and the wind was just a gentle breeze, nothing like wot December should be like!

Where is all the snow? OTL keeps looking at the web cams for Glen Coe cos he wants to go up there again to get some 'Snowy Mountain' pictures but it keeps raining and washing the snow off the mountain!

Maybe he will get up there in January, claws crossed!

Lunch time walk was fun 'cos we were sniffin' all over the place, OTL was clicking away at the bird's on the mud.

Grub Up Lads!

We spotted some Wormy Men digging away out on the mud. They had a Bozo Sheep Dog sort of  woofer with them and it was having a super time running around and digging and getting very muddy!

A Wormy Dog!

Holly and I played 'Chase The Sniff' and also 'Chase OTL' but he couldn't run as fast as us, so we quickly caught up with him, no trouble!

If he went any slower he'd go Backwards!

Back home The Missus told us that Archie has won a competition for putting a comment to a picture and the prize is..........................A Years Worming Treatment.............that's enough to get a Woofer excited isn't it?

Rock on Archie!

Maybe he could flog the prize to the Wormy Dog but what would he get in return?

Worms!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles (Only One More Jab!)

Snoozy Sunday and Snowflake gets Sneaky!

Hello Woofers!

We are back again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We do enjoy a day with Old Two Legs, mainly because we can bully him into doing what we want!

Today was no exception!

We had to take The Missus up to the village hall for another one of her Master Classes, we think this is the last one before Christmas. Then off we went down to the Sea Wall for our morning stroll.

First of all Miss Snowflake did her bit of bullying, she wriggled around until she could get into OTL's inside pocket and there she stayed until we got to the beach! Sneaky or wot?

Down on the beach she called me over to her and said that she wanted OTL to get down so she could run up his leg and into the pocket again.

Call OTL over and pretend you got a thorn in your paw!

Well, I joined in the scam and called OTL but he was too far away from Snowflake for her to do the 'Sneaky Move'!

What's he doing over there?

 I was dismissed as 'Trying to Pull a Fast One' and told to 'Go dig a Hole'!

Miss Snowflake wasn't about to give up though. This time she refused to move and she stayed still, looking up and down the beach as though she was scared of something.

Now, that always gets OTL's sympathy, he doesn't like to see us scared, for whatever reason and as soon as he walked over to Snowflake and crouched down to give her a reassuring stroke....She shot up his leg onto his lap and up inside his jacket and into his pocket as quick as a flash!

Oh! OTL, I'm Frightened!

 OTL laughed at her trick and let her stay in the pocket until we got onto the path, then he scooped her up out of his pocket and she had to run the rest of the way back to the car!

By the time we got back home there was no time to cook our Chicken Breakfast 'cos Mr Brambles had an appointment, so Holly and I got up onto the sofa and had a snooze while Mr B went off to get his jab.

The vets place was a long way away but Mr B enjoyed the drive 'cos since not feeling too well he has been 'Confined to Barracks' and has been bored out of his brain! He says that even going out to get stabbed by the vet is exciting!

Rather him than me!

When he got there he was weighed and he is still 1.08kg, so no increase in weight from yesterday but he is a lot brighter and is eating and drinking as he should and his poo is getting more 'Ferret Like', so the vet was pleased with that!

OTL got out the bottle of Ferretone and the vet says 'Wossat?' and OTL says 'When he is licking this you could saw his leg off and he wouldn't notice, so get on with the injection!'

The vet did and was mighty impressed, Mr B carried on slurping and didn't even do his 'What the Woof!' bit but carried on slurping!

The vet says 'I'll have to get some of that!' and makes notes on the computer!

Back home we get OTL cooking and up comes Chicken, cooked to perfection, cut into doggy sized mouthfuls all warm and super!

Holly and I were both 'Nose Down & Tail Up' and didn't come up for air until the bowls were licked clean!

Then it was time for our midday walk, so off we went and you know what? It was warm! The sun was out and the tide was coming in! A delightful walk!

Holly spotted that the Old Fort had been messed about with. A few days ago there was a film crew out there with lights and stuff and now they had gone but left some of the scenery behind!

Our Film Set.

 On the way back Holly spots some of our old mates and between the four of us we have a good game of chase, the only trouble was, they were all chasing me!

Save me Daddy!

Back home I had just sat down to do this blog when TM rang to say she was ready to be picked up from the hall, so of went OTL while I finished this off.

Which I have now done, so, see you tomorrow and it's off to mug OTL!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Mr Brambles Has His Eye on The Vet!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We have had some fun today, it started first thing this morning at about half past one, Holly decided she wanted to go into the loo! Old Two Legs did his banging on the wall bit, half asleep as normal!

Of course, that means he didn't get up on time and over slept by thirty minutes!

Mr Brambles was awake when OTL started up the rowing machine! He looked bright eyed and bushy tailed!

Miss Snowflake stayed asleep and didn't wake up until OTL was ready to take us out for our morning stroll along the Sea Wall.

Mr Brambles was a bit put out that he didn't get his Lactose Milk nor was he getting his morning walk. So he showed off by kicking his food bowl over and shoving his water bowl around the cage, then he went back to bed!

Down on the beach we had a game of chase with Holly deciding which end we should start at!

Well, that end is down hill, a bit!

 Snowflake was sitting on the beach complaining that it was just too wet, too cold and too early! She wanted OTL to pick her up and carry her!

This all just too much!

 While we were waiting for Snowflake to warm up, Holly and I ran up and down the beach a couple of times then commenced to digging holes! It was great fun especially when we were both in the same hole digging like crazy!

This is a Hole lot of Fun!

Miss Snowflake got going but not very far 'cos as she was slowly walking along side the sea wall a woofer came along and gave her a scare by woofing at her! Well, that was it, down she went into 'Defensive Mode' and refused to move, even after the Bozo had gone!

There's a Bozo close, I just know it!

 After a while OTL crouched down and gave her a stroke, that was it, she just shot up to OTL, ran up onto his lap then crawled up his jacket and into his pocket!

She snuggled down and refused to come out! Every so often she would stick her nose out to see where she was and to make sure OTL didn't get lost!

This is Better!

 Just for fun, OTL went the long way around to give us a bit longer run, of course, Snowflake knew straight away that we had 'Deviated' from her normal path but she instructed OTL to 'Get a Move On' 'cos she was thirsty and wanted a drink!

Come on, pick those feet up!

Back home Mr Brambles was laughing when we told him about how Snowflake got a warm place to go for a walk!

Soon it was Mr B's turn to get into the carry cage and head off to the vets. He thought he was getting better and that the visit was 'Just a checkup', little did he know!

It started off with Mr B getting weighed and he has put on twenty grams since yesterday, so that was good news! To celebrate OTL got out the Ferretone and Mr Brambles was slurping away with great relish!

While he was slurping the vet crept up behind him and gave him the injection! Well, you know what happened next, Whizz, Bang, Wallop! Mr B was up in the air and spinning around to see who had just stabbed him!

There was the vet with the syringe in his hand and looking guilty! 'OK' says Mr B, 'I've got my eye on you'

That was the 'First Warning'

Mind you, he let the vet tickle his ear and feed him some more Ferretone!

Back home OTL got out into the garden, clearing up the leaves and trimming the bushes and he even found a Blackbirds Nest in one of the bushes that he didn't know was there!

The Missus is at her Master Class today so that means tons of stuff taken and only one card made!

Some things never change!

Mr B is off tomorrow for another injection but this time it is at one of the vets who are open on a Sunday, that will confuse him!

We are off to watch out for TM coming back so bye, bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles
