Good News, Summer is on its Way!

Hi Woofers!

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

Did you notice anything yesterday? Well, it was the shortest day of the year, light wise that is, so now, the days will be getting longer and the nights shorter!

So keep a watch out 'cos Summer is on its way!

Mind you, looking at the weather forecast for the next twenty four hours I think there is some sort of storm heading our way, so keep your heads down!

Old Two Legs felt it was his duty to take us out this morning 'cos he said that there was no way The Missus would be able to control two dogs AND two ferrets at the same time! Mind you, OTL does have problems sometimes!

Off we went and as normal Snowflake stayed in OTL's pocket until we hit the beach then she was saying that the beach was too wet!

Come on Girl before the tide makes it wet again!
By the time we had got Miss Snowflake up and running we had a visitor, by the name of Bryn, who stopped to say hello and pass on some info regarding the sniffs by the rubbish bin on the hill. He stuck his head over the Sea Wall and said 'Hello' to the ferrets who by now were running along the Sea Wall base.

A Bit Windy but the Sniffs are good and Strong!
It was about then that the sun shone through the clouds and OTL took a couple of snaps but the sunbeams disappeared just as quickly as they arrived. What he needs is his big camera that takes quicker pictures than his little 'Point and Shoot'!

Hello Sunbeam!
 While we were looking at the sunbeam we didn't notice a young Westie that came galloping along the Sea Wall, he stopped, peered over the Sea Wall and asked the ferrets 'Wot are You'?

Next thing we knew he had jumped down onto the beach, just as OTL lifted both ferrets up onto the top of the Sea Wall!

Wot are You?
 By then his owner had arrived and clipped him onto the lead and marched him off down the Sea Wall path. They had got right down the other end and were about to turn the corner when he got unclipped from the lead. What did he do? He turned around and ran all the way back, peered over the wall and said 'Well, wot are you?'

You see, he had never seen ferrets before and was very curious! He jumped down again but this time OTL had both ferrets close and let the Westie have a sniff of both of them and they had a sniff of his nose as well. OTL was worried in case Mr Brambles decided to take a chunk out of the Westie's nose but there was no trouble and the owner came puffing along the path waving the lead again. 'Oh Blow!' says the Westie, 'I'm in the Poo again!'

Mr Brambles said that he was lucky 'cos he got let off the lead, OTL wouldn't let him or Snowflake off the lead until they got home!

Rock Climbing is difficult when your roped up with OTL!
 Back home to a breakfast of Doggy Scoff, you can tell TM is too busy playing with her new stencils to make us a proper breakfast, just wait until she wants a cuddle, I'll point her towards the stencils, let's see how 'cuddly' they are!

Lunchtime came and I was in OTL's office watching him wrap up some Christmas Presents. Snowflake for some reason wanted to get out of the cage, you could tell that 'cos she was rattling the cage door like crazy! OTL opened the door and gave her a cuddle and some Ferretone and a couple of Ferret Nibbles that she loves!

Then back into the cage but she was still rattling the door, in fact it was obvious that she was not going back to sleep, unlike Mr Brambles who was flat on his back with all four paws in the air!

I asked OTL 'Can we go out?' and he said 'Yes, and we're taking Miss Snowflake as well!

That was it, we were off down to the beach again, leaving Mr B who was still fast asleep, paws in air, snoring his head off!

Snowflake didn't climb into OTL's pocket but stayed resting on his arm with her nose tucked into his jacket!

Down on the beach she started off by ferreting around the Sea Weed to see if there were any new sniffs brought in by the high tide.

Mmmm! This one is new!
 Then she dived into the Sea Weed that had been washed ashore and had a great time digging into it and shoving her nose right underneath and throwing it over her back!

I think someone wee'd on this Weed!
Holly was interested in the wee sniff and pronounced it was Lobster Wee 'cos it was hiding under a rock!
I'd know a Lobster Wee anywhere!
 Snowflake said that she wasn't interested in Lobsters 'cos they have all their bones on the outside of their body and were difficult to get into!

You can keep the Lobster I'd rather have a Chicken, all Raw and Wriggly!
Back home again and off for a snooze while OTL falls asleep in front of the television, well, it's Sunday and it's the only time he can do that!

Not sure what is for muggins tonight, maybe a Gammon Steak!

See you tomorrow and watch out for the windy weather!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Sniffin' Saturday

Hi Woofers!

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

Last night Holly had a good night, only one visit to the garden for a wee but we didn't mind that!

This morning she said she felt a lot better and didn't even feel like eating grass!

Old Two Legs is a different story, all grotty and snotty plus a head ache! Maybe he should have a chew on some grass, well, it works for us, sometimes!

We got taken out by The Missus 'cos OTL didn't feel up to it, which is most unusual 'cos he likes a walk along the Sea Wall with the wind blowing in his hair!

We met up with Barney who played the Bozo again 'cos he had his ball with him and wouldn't share it with us!

Back home OTL was still in the office giving Snowflake a cuddle 'cos she missed out on her morning walk. Mr Brambles was a bit miffed at missing his walk as well and showed off by kicking his water bowl around the cage then he fell asleep on the cushion!

I'm Not Happy So I'm Showing Off!
Mr Brambles said that he would have been a good boy if TM had taken him out for a walk, so it's all her fault!

It was good to see that young Archie has got a 'Clean Bill of Health' that's what we like to see! Mind you, self inflicted tummy upsets are all part of the Doggies Job Description!

Holly will confirm that!

Lunch time OTL was curled up in a corner sniffin' and generally looking all grotty, so TM took us out, in the rain and across the fields, not our best walk but it gave Holly a chance for a wee!

Fingers crossed for some improvement with OTL, a walk is not the same without him!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We should be fit for Christmas!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles back again!

Last night was not a good night for Old Two Legs, first of all his cold had been getting worse all day and by the time he went to bed he was really bad! About one thirty, Holly did her 'I Wanna Wee' woof and got him out of bed! After the visit to the garden it was Back to Bed, but OTL and us doggies couldn't get back to sleep. It wasn't that we weren't tired, it was The Missus snoring her head off!

We all tried to make her stop, Holly sat on her head but got shoved off, I tried the old 'Wet Ear Lick' but that was greeted with a louder snort and a hand smacking me on the nose!

OTL tried the 'Gentle Shove' followed by the 'Finger Poke in The Ribs' but that was no good, then he tried the 'Pull the Pillow and Spin her Head' move, but that was just as useless! So, around three thirty there was a movement and she turned over onto her side, now that means we have just five minutes to get to sleep before she starts again!

About four thirty, Holly says that she doesn't feel too good and promptly deposits Carrot and Doggy scoff in several places, ending up in the bathroom where there is no carpet to muck up!

Well, that at least got TM to stop snoring! A bit later, about twenty to five, Holly found some more Carrot & Scoff and deposited it in the bathroom again, but this time on the shower mat!

It was not a good night!

This morning Holly was saying that it must have been something she ate last night, yeah, right, Doggy Scoff?

Just to finish it off, when we went out for our early morning walk, she was sick in the car!

The walk was great, Holly and I sniffed all the sniffs and Mr Brambles chased us along the path to the beach. No more tummy upsets for Holly and Snowflake stayed in OTL's pocket because it was Too Cold for her!

As we were dancing about on the beach, Max & Oscar trotted by together with an old Bozo Labrador.

We were just tickled pink seeing the coat Oscar had on, it was an all in one, zip up the front jacket that made him look like he had a 'Jump Suit' on!

Holly and I were rolling on the ground laughing our tails off, it was sooooo funny! 

Well, at least my tummy is warm!
 Both ferrets said that he looked like a Big Jessie and does he have a part time job opening doors!

We headed for home, still laughing about Oscars jacket and I said I wouldn't be seen dead in one and Holly said it would make her look fat, as if!

Back home to Chicken breakfast and Holly shovelled it down in no time. I left it for a while 'cos I wanted to catch up on my sleep!

It was a little later that Holly met up with the chicken again, she's not having much luck! We have decided that she will have nothing but water for the rest of the day, just until her tummy settles down!

We had a slow walk at lunch time, mainly because both OTL and Holly just didn't feel like charging about. So I made up for the pair of them running around in circles and woofing at the Bozo's down on the Sea Wall!

There was a strange looking ship that passed us going out to sea, OTL said that the things on top were cranes, big enough to lift Holly up!

Heavy Duty Holly Cranes!
 Holly didn't seem impressed and said that the next opportunity she gets, she will wee in OTL's boots!

Back home it was snooze time for us all, even OTL had his eyes closed while pretending to be looking at some paperwork!

I think it will be a light snackette for Miss Holly tonight, mixed with a little rice!

Let's hope her tummy settles down soon.

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

An early Christmas Present for OTL!

Hi Woofers!

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

Today Old Two Legs woke up early to find he has got an early Christmas Present from The Missus,

She's given him her cold!

Poor OTL, sniffin and blowing his nose and his voice is all deep and grumbly!

So that's it, no Office Party no visits to customers, just curl up in a corner of the office and keep on with the medication!

Not that it worried us woofers, we wanted our walk and as it wasn't raining the ferrets were all up for a run as well!

Miss Snowflake travelled down in OTL's pocket and was a bit put out when OTL put her down on the wet sand!

It wasn't long before she had got back up the beach to the Sea Wall where the sun was shining and it was sheltered from the wind.

It's good when you get out of the wind!
 Holly and I found a sniff on the beach and were doing some serious investigation when Holly whispered in my ear, 'Just look at that Ferret!'

Just look up the beach to that ferret!

I looked up the beach and there, with his tummy on the ground, his tail sticking up, creeping towards us was Mr Brambles!

I'm Hunting Dog!
 He was doing his normal trick of trying to creep up on us but this time we spotted him before he got anywhere near us!

Snowflake had a go at some Rock Climbing, just to keep her paws in, 'cos if you don't keep practising you will loose the knack!

I think I'll use a Claw Jam Grip here!
Back home we had a shock......................DOGGY SCOFF!!!!!!!

Some days it just gets worse the longer your awake!

OTL went off to do some deliveries and left us snoozing on the bed. He had to drop into the Doggy Shop to pick up some Cat Litter for the ferrets Poo Pot and we didn't even get the chance of 'Advising' him on what we would like!

Of course, when he got back he gave the bags to TM who rushed off and stored it in the cupboard before we had a chance to sniff the bag properly!

OTL has spent the afternoon in the office, sniffin and sneezing and blowing his nose.

OTL is not a Happy Puppy!!

I think he will be having an early night and we reckon that he wouldn't be pleased if Holly does her 'I wanna Wee' trick at about two thirty!

With a bit of luck he may be a bit more 'Human' tomorrow, well as near to Human as OTL gets!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

OTL is going to Die!

Hello Woofers!

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

We have been busy today, the ferrets have been playing games with Old Two Legs and chasing each other around the office. It was Snowflake that started it by chasing Mr Brambles out of the cage and into the 'Adventure Playground' that OTL puts together every morning. The pair of them were bouncing about all over the place taking turn to do chasing!

Out on the Sea Wall Mr B was all up for a run but Miss Snowflake stayed tucked up in OTL's pocket!

Once again it took Mr Brambles to snuggle up to her to get her moving!

Come on Snowflake, lets run!
 Holly and I were running up and down the beach kicking up the sand for the fun of it!

Chaaaarge!
 It wasn't too long before Snowflake warmed up enough to get going and head back to the car. Before leaving the beach she decided that she wanted to have a climb over the rocks with Mr Brambles.

Off To The Rocks!
 Holly and I were there already and we had been playing on the rocks searching for those little shrimps we have seen before.

Come on Shrimpy, where are you?
 Miss S got going and was having some super fun squeezing in and out of the rocks and trying to hide from Mr Brambles!
Bet You Can't See Me!
 Mr B was playing along with the game and kept calling out 'Where Are You?' but we all knew he could really see her!

Have you seen Snowflake?
 Then Miss Snowflake jumped out and the pair of them raced along the Sea Wall towards the stairs that lead to the path back to the car park!

Can't Catch Me!
 Back home OTL was working away in his office and the telephone rang, it was one of those Bozo's who keep phoning about an accident OTL had a couple of years ago. What happened was someone ran into him, at a very low speed, and other than the car getting  a bit dented, there was no other damage of injury to OTL.

Well, these Bozo's keep ringing OTL trying to get him to claim  he was injured and claim compensation. They call at all times of the day and night!

OTL has decided to welcome the next caller and say that he is so pleased that they have called 'cos because of the accident he was so badly injured that he died!

Not that it will stop them telephoning but he hasn't been a ghost before, so he has been practising by going, Ooooooooo! and dressing up in a bed sheet!

Holly says he is cracking up!

Lunchtime we were down the Sea Wall again and OTL spent some time trying to get us to both look at the camera at the same time, silly lad, there is no way we would do that, unless there is some food in it for us!

Here's looking at you!
 Holly suggested OTL could take a picture of her doing her line dancing!

Step, Step Kick!
 Straight from the walk we headed off to do some deliveries in town, so we stood guard as OTL took the stuff in to his customer. You know, we are very good guard dogs and we woofed at a couple of people who walked past and Holly even gave one of her 'Mean Growls' which is a really serious growl!

Not sure what's for dinner tonight, that's 'cos The Missus is still playing with some new stencils that arrived today!

Now what is more important,stencils or OTL dinner?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We are still on the Runway!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Another mild day today, seems that Winter has yet to find our corner of the world. Old Two Legs was watching the television this morning and saw that the airport proposed down here has not been included in the 'Short List' but will be looked at next year!

Just how daft can some Two Legs be?

If they build an airport here it will have to be a new town they will need to build, not just an airport!

What would happen to my Rock Climb? They should think of these things before making any decisions about our home!


They wouldn't take away our Rock Climbing Wall would they?
 Just think what would happen to the beach, where would Mr Brambles dig his morning 'Hole'?

I just Love Holes!
Down on the beach Snowflake was trying hard to wake up, she had travelled all the way down in OTL's jacket pocket. She is getting used to this mode of transport, it's the 'Getting Out' at the other end she doesn't like!

The Sheppy Bridge looked like it was on fire but when we looked at the picture OTL took we could see it was just steam coming out of the factory chimneys!

It looks like it's all on fire!
Mr Brambles snuggled up to Snowflake to give her some encouragement to 'Get a Move On' 'cos he was ready for the run back, you know, he ran all the way down to the beach from the car park! He says that if OTL is getting exercise then so should he!

Two Fit men in the house? Whatever next!

Come on, get yer tail in gear girl!
I must admit, I was impressed with Mr Brambles plan to get all super fit, you know before long he will be asking OTL if he can borrow the rowing machine!

Come on Miss Snowflake, we're heading back now!
Lunch time was a dual trip out, first of all we headed back to the Sea Wall and sniffed our way along the path, we had to fight our way past all the cameras and interviewers and people waiting to be interviewed!

It gets a bit boring after a while, and those television people spoil all the good sniffs!

They've trampled on all the sniffs!
No matter where we went there were traces of sniff that had been spoilt, still, it won't be long before they all clear off and leave it to us again!


They've even been down here!
After our walk we headed down into town to do some deliveries which was fun 'cos we could woof at all the other woofers and Two Legs walking along the streets!

Back home for a snooze before dinner time!

The garage came and took OTL's car away for servicing and left their motor here. They also left the car keys! Holly says that means we can use the car to go out for walks or do shopping or just a run around the town but OTL said that he didn't have time to go 'Joy Riding', mind you he said it would have been a good idea!

Dinner is soon, so we're off to do some mugging and then give OTL a cuddle while we nibble on our carrots!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Running with Ferrets!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, today has been a good day. It started off this morning when Old Two Legs got up late but still managed his thirty minutes on the paddle machine! He was interrupted twice with Holly Dog rushing into the office and jumping up onto his lap to give him a 'Good Morning Lick' and she was laughing all over her face when she was doing it!

Miss Snowflake was up and ferreting around her half of the cage and enjoying a spot of breakfast.

We have got showers forecast for today but when it was time to go out OTL decided that it would be a good idea to take both ferrets at the same time 'cos come lunch time it may be all floods and storms on the Sea Wall!

Off we went with both ferrets in the travelling cage!

Of course, Miss Snowflake stayed wrapped up in OTL's pocket, as normal, but Mr Brambles was enjoying a run on the path even though he kept wanting to go the wrong way!

Down on the beach he was well away digging his 'Traditional Hole', like, long and deep instead of round and deep!

'Well, There I was, Digging this Hole, Hole in the sand, so big and never round'!
 Miss Snowflake on the other hand was doing her 'I wanna go back to bed' trick, but OTL said she had to get some exercise or she would end up all fat and fur!

Snowflake said that 'All Fat And Fur' is normal for a Winter Ferret! Nobody believed her though!

Fat and Fur is OK for a Winter Ferret!
We were having fun sniffin' the sea weed that turns up each Christmas on the beach. We've seen Two Legs gathering the stuff up to sell down in Rochester Market!

Wadda You Reckon? Five Bob a Bunch?
 By now Miss Snowflake had got going and Mr Brambles was having fun climbing up the rocks.

Next stop the Scottish Mountains, just like OTL used to do!
It was then, when we were all discussing Mountain Climbing, that Holly suggested we have a running race back to the car, so it was One Woof, Two Woof, Three Woof and GO!

We let the ferrets get going first of all 'cos Mr B is likely to give our legs a nip as we pass on the narrow path, that's 'cos he is sneaky like that!

Now we're off ahead of those dogs!
 It was good fun, we even got OTL to do some running to keep up! He said it was just too much all this Running with Ferrets and on top of that he was Running with Woofers as well!

I won't tell you who won, but let's say, we were first into the car!

Our lunchtime walk was a bit late 'cos we didn't get our breakfast until late in the morning and by the time we had our 'After Breakfast Snooze' it was a quarter to three!

You can tell that Winter is almost here, it gets dark very early, about three thirty or thereabouts, we know it's dark 'cos OTL's little 'Point and Shoot Camera' has a mind of its own and keeps popping off the flash when OTL isn't looking!

Flashy!
 Looking along the Sea Wall, there is nothing of any real interest and all the colours have gone as well!

No colours this time of the day!
Even a quick snap of Holly from the back brings out the Auto Flash! Poor OTL can't find the command to turn off the flash, seems the camera is too smart for him!

Oops! Another quick flash!
Tomorrow the big car goes in for its service, so it is back to the little car for our trip down to the beach. I hope it is a bit warmer 'cos it takes too long to warm up that little car and there are no heated seats either and no cushions and on top of that the windows are too small and we can't see the Bozo Woofers and cats to woof at as we go past!

Holly reckons OTL has got Venison Steak tonight with Mushroom Risotto instead of egg and chips, not sure if OTL will like that, it's too healthy sounding and we do like our venison dipped into a bit of eggy!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Mr Brambles gets out first!

Hello Woofers!

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

It's been a Lazy Day today, The Missus filled out food bowl with Doggy Scoff, so no cuddles for her today!

This morning Old Two Legs was late in getting up 'cos he turned the alarm off too early and instead of listening to the news all we heard was him snoring again! Mind you, he did complete his half an hour on the rowing machine and managed to get up to one thousand, two hundred and sixty strokes!

The drag level is up to number six and there is only eight levels of drag!

Mind you, the grunting and heavy breathing is something else!

Snowflake decided to go back to bed but Mr Brambles was up for an early morning run along the Sea Wall and rushed into the travel cage before he had even got his harness on!

Down on the Sea Wall there was a competition to see how many worms each fisherman could teach to swim!

We were on the beach having fun digging holes and rolling in some sniffs while Mr B was digging holes up the other end of the beach!

I just LOVE a Roll!
You know, there was one Fisherman who set up his rods just above the rocks that the ferrets love to climb. Lucky for him it didn't interfere with the ferret or he might have had a very upset ferret to answer to!

He could be in trouble!
 Being so late, there were loads of dogs out for their walk, one of the Bozo's by the name of Andy was so interested in Mr B that when he got home and let off the lead he turned around and ran all the way back to the beach for another sniff!

Needless to say, he was in deep trouble and got marched all the way back again!

Back home we spent the morning snoozing until lunch time when we were off again but this time with Miss Snowflake in the travelling cage. On the way down there were rain drops on the car screen, so Holly and I were not too keen about a run in the rain!

When we got there the Fishermen had packed up and were heading off, so that means a good clear run along the Sea Wall without tripping over their stuff!

Snowflake of course was dug deep in OTL's pocket and even attempted to fall asleep!

Wake me later!
 Down on the beach Holly and I had a sniff around but Snowflake didn't really get interested until she had got to the Rocks!

Easy! Easy! Easy!
 Holly was interested in the sniffs around the top of the stairs and declared that it was the trace of Mr Brambles who passed this way this morning!

I know this sniff!
 Once she had got to the top of the stairs Miss Snowflake got into top gear and soon was speeding along and heading for the car and a warm cage!

Out of my way! Ferret on her way through!
Holly and I thought it fun that once she got going there was nothing that would stop our speedy little Miss Snowflake!

Back home Mr B was still fast asleep and within a couple of minutes Snowflake had found the food bowl, had a bite to eat, then a drink, a quick cuddle with OTL and then she was asleep!

She does move fast when she wants to!

As it was raining, that means the garden will have to wait and cleaning the car was ruled out as well!

It was TM who suggested we watch a DVD and have a snooze, which was OK by OTL and I must admit, Holly and I thought it a good idea as well!

So, muggins later and an early night 'cos OTL has to go out tomorrow morning, work again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

TM Must Be Dying, She's Missed The Crop!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

What a super day today, no rain, no cold wind, blue sky's and it's the weekend!

We were up early 'cos The Missus was going to her Crop in the village hall today but after half an hour downstairs she announced that she was 'Too ill to go, and on top of that she didn't want to give the lurgy to anyone else before Christmas'!

Now, for TM to miss out on a day long binge of card making and eating and gassing and drinking and making merry, sloshing the glue pot and dusting everything with glitter, she has got to be bad!

So, off we went, up to the hall and got all the tables and chairs out ready for the gang to turn up, then we took TM back so she can spend the rest of the day on the sofa using up all those 'Man Size' tissues Old Two Legs got her yesterday!

We were then off to the Sea Wall. It was right on High Tide when we got onto the beach, we know that 'cos there is always some big waves that crash onto shore just at full tide!

It's a good job she didn't take too long waking up 'cos the High Tide wave was rather big!

OK, who nicked my bed?
This was one wave that tried to get right up the beach where Snowflake was having a run but she managed to get out of the way, just in time!

Ya Missed Me!
We had some fun running up and down the beach and Snowflake even enjoyed a bit of hole digging. I of course had to give it my opinion and declared it to be 'Satisfactory'!

Not bad but needs more attention to the sides!
Snowflake also enjoyed a bit of Rock Climbing especially as the tide was breaking on the lower rocks, so that made it a bit more dangerous than normal 'cos just imagine what would happen if she fell off!

Should I have got roped up for this?
Back home she was telling Mr Brambles all about it and he said he will go out with OTL at lunch time and see what is left of the hole!

So lunchtime we were out again but we found that the hole had been washed away! Mr Brambles said that he would dig one of his own but actually, it looked more like a trench!

It's called a Long Hole!
 We did notice that his tail was getting seriously fluffy, he may even beat Snowflake for fluffiness!


Just the 'War Wound' to be covered!
 Mr B was having loads of fun on the way back tot he car, he was playing 'Hunt The Dog'!

What would happen was Holly and I were a bit ahead of him and OTL, having a sniff, as you do. Mr Brambles would be in the grass behind us racing like the clappers to get to us so he could give our back legs a nip!

Saucy Ferret!

Still, it was giving him loads of fun trying to get us! He was really glad to get out in the fresh air and was running down the path jumping all over the place! It was so funny watching him do his 'War Dance' at the same time running after us!

Snowflake makes a noise when she is happy or playing a game, OTL calls it 'Chuckling' but other ferret owners call it 'Dooking'. Now Mr Brambles has yet to do any serious Dooking or Chuckling, in fact he is a very quiet ferret, except when he is sleeping!

When he is dreaming he 'Squeaks', just one squeak at a time, but it is so funny. I've often wondered what he is dreaming about when he does that.

OTL says that both Holly and I bark and growl in our sleep!

The funniest sound though, is OTL and TM snoring when they are asleep, especially when they are doing it together, in hamony!

OK, now we are off to the village hall to put the tables and chairs away and lock up and if there is anyone there, wish them a Merry Christmas and see if there are any sandwiches left over!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

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
