A Gentle Sunday Rampaging About!

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

After yesterdays fun and games it was good to have a 'Relaxing' day today. Old Two Legs was late in getting up. Maybe it had something to do with Holly demanding a 'Late Night Wee' at about Twenty to Two this morning!

She managed to wake OTL and The Missus and me and The Ferrets!

So, we were a bit late going out for our morning stroll along the sea Wall.

On the beach, Holly and I decided that what we really needed was a Big Hole!

Holly and I took turns in digging while the other was watching out for Mr Brambles!

You dig, I'll watch!

 Lucky for us, Mr Brambles had decided on digging his own hole and was watching out for us in case we tried to pinch the hole!

A Hole of My Own!

 Miss Snowflake was still in the ferret bag and refused to come out until OTL had got to the Rock Wall!

This beats Hole Digging any day!

Back home OTL had the job of cleaning out the ferret cage and changing all the bedding and wash out the trays.

Mr Brambles went off to have a snooze while Snowflake had a game with OTL. What she does is to chase the cloth OTL is using to wash out the cage bottom, while he is washing the tray!

She thinks it is a wonderful game and when OTL put her outside the cage, she just climbed up the outside, went through the roof door and down into the cage to chase OTL again!

Finally it was all done and that means it's 'Snoozy Time'!

Lunch time we were down the Sea Wall again but it was just too hot to get too excited about running around!

I started off with a gentle jog but it soon went into a stroll and a sniff!

A Small Jog but that's your lot!

 Holly pretended to be all full of life and energy but like me, decided it was just too hot.

I'm a Super Fast Jogging Woofer!

We were pleased that there was a breeze but the sun was still very hot, in fact too hot!

Back home the ferrets were still fast asleep in their beds, you know, those ferrets must sleep about twenty hours a day!

Amazing!

We're off now to see what we can mug, Doggy Scoff is what TM has put out for us, YUK!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

And Who's Been Eating My Dinner?

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here on a Sunny Saturday!

We were up good and early 'cos The Missus is out at her 'Master Class' today. So we have to take all her stuff up to the village hall.

We met that Doodle Dog again and this time we found out his name is Buddy. He is still fascinated by the ferrets and wanted to get up good and close for a sniff and a lick!

Holly said he was brave to do that, I said he was stupid 'cos I've seen what Brambles has done to Two Legs who have stuck their fingers in his face!

Buddy was lucky and they both had a sniff of each others nose!

Sniffs, but no Teeth!

Back home we had our visitor turn up, Maisey, the West Highland Terrier! She had come to stay with us for today while her owner was playing 'Glue & Glitter' at TM's Master Class!

We started off with her inspecting our garden and we had to point out that the pond was wet and deep! She said she wasn't one for swimming anyway but thanks for the tip!

We all went out for a walk along the Sea Wall and the beach. We showed her where all the best sniffs were and a few of our 'Secret Sniffs'!

Hey, this is a seriously good sniff!

 Then we introduced her to some of the lads.

Nice to meet you Maisey!

Down on the beach Maisey was let off the lead for a run 'cos she couldn't get into too much trouble there, except when she wanted to have a paddle in the mud!

Just a little paddle in the mud?

 I didn't ask, I just went straight in and flopped onto the wet mud, that got me a hose down when we got home!

Daisy's in the mud, Pleeese let me have a go?

Maisey should have kept quiet about the mud 'cos OTL scolded me and then clipped Maisey back on the lead, she'll learn in time!

Holly introduced her to a new sniff and didn't tell her is was Ferret Poo!

Now this is a strange sniff, what is it?

Holly and I were both having a laugh behind her tail and when we told her she joined in the joke as well!

We came off the beach and played 'Puppy Patrol' up the hill to the Rabbit Ground.

Left, Right, Left, Right, Puppy Patrol!

Maisey says that she hadn't done much rabbit chasing and how do we do it? When we told her how we sit and wait. Then we showed her how and she stood there looking but didn't see any rabbits at all!

Pretty Boring Game this Rabbit Chasing!

She did find a feather on the path and after discussions with OTL, we decided it was from a Sparrowhawk!

Sparrowhawk breast feather.

Back home, I got washed with the hose and Maisey got her nose into Holly's chicken dinner. Holly didn't mind 'cos when she finally got to eat what was left, she also had a go at what I had left, so every one was happy in the end!

We had to say Bye, Bye, to Maisey but it has been fun having her over.

OTL says that we may get Archie Babe next, if we are good girls!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We meet a New Doodle Dog!

Hello Woofers!

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

It's 'Official', Old Two Legs is in his twenty first year of trading, he is having a celebration treat today, he will finish work early today, five thirty, instead of six thirty!

He does live in the 'Fast Lane' sometimes!

We met up with a new doggy today, he is only twelve weeks old and already he is bigger than Holly or me!

We forgot to ask his name but he is a 'Doodle Dog', half Poodle and half Labrador! Holly asked if that made him a BozoDoodle?

That Holly can be such a Wag at times!

I'm a Labradoodle!

 He was jumping about in a playful way 'cos Mr Brambles was scurrying about at the bottom of the Sea Wall, Miss Snowflake had done a 'Sneaky' and got back into the ferret bag without OTL seeing!

Can't See Me!

When she stuck her nose out the Doodle Dog asked if she tasted like Chicken! So, he can't be so much of a Bozo!

Mind you, being so young he was trying to impress us with some tricks, 'Hey' he said 'Look, I can Lick My Nose'!

I've been practising this trick!

 Finally, off he went and we got down to some serious fun! The ferrets went off in search of 'Something Wet and Slimy' in the sea weed. Holly and I got into digging holes in the sand and were woofing so much that it got the attention of Miss Snowflake!

OK, What Are They Up To?

 It didn't take long before they left the sea weed and arrived at our hole. Mr Brambles dived straight in and had a quick dig while Snowflake stood guard to keep us away!

Go on then, dig some more, I've got them Woofers under control!

Back home, we got a big bowl of Ox Heart for breakfast and both Holly and I were 'Tails Up and Nose Down' until it had all gone!

Super!

Then it was off to bed for a snooze to let it all 'Go Down'!

Lunchtime we were off again but this time there were some deliveries to do and afterwards we found ourselves at the Riverside Park!

Pity the tide wasn't in, I could have had a swim, instead there was only mud and OTL kept me out of that!

Mind you, there were some dogs that managed a paddle!

This little six month old woofer was all full of it and was dashing about all over the place. She ran up to OTL and planted her muddy paws on his leg and said........

Guess Where I've Been!

Then she ran over to me to say hello but the only thing I could think of was ........We've got two ferrets who are bigger than you!

Wot are Ferrets?

It was all rather hot and Holly was plodding along the path and every so often we all had to stop for a rest on the seats and as Holly said.......'It's just Too Hot to Chase Rabbits!'

Too Hot!

We were glad to be back home again and soon had found a cool spot to snooze the rest of the afternoon away!

Now, OTL put the 'Garden Cam' out yesterday and hasn't taken it in yet. The Missus spotted it and came stomping up to his office.

'Is that Camera Thing switched on?'

'Yes'

'Well I don't want any video of me on Daisy's blog'!

'Why?'

'Cos this morning it was too hot and I went for a walk around the garden, before I got dressed!'

'Well, that will scare the cats away!'

And that's why he has the black eye!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

She's Back!

Hi Ho Woofers!

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

We were up good and early this morning 'cos there was loads of washing up to be done and the poor dishwasher has been working overtime!

You see, we had a game, we were trying to use every plate and cup and bowl to eat and drink off and use a new one every time. OTL was having fun seeing how high he could pile the plates!

Well, as The Missus is arriving back today, we don't think she would be amused with our little game, so, the dishwasher is hard at work!

Still, there are piles of nice clean crockery in the cupboard now!

Down on the beach Holly and I had a great time dashing up and down the beach and going ever so slightly potty!

Me Going Potty!

Holly and I decided that we needed a big hole in the sand 'cos Holly had found an old ball and we decided we should dig a big hole and leave it at the bottom!

Of course, Mr 'Nosy' Brambles saw us digging and wanted to join in the fun!

What you doing Girls?

We didn't take any notice of him but he stayed there sniffing!

I had to tell him.......

Woof Off and find your Own Hole!

Now, our walks in the morning normally last for about an hour, unless it's raining! You would have thought that all that time and running and chasing about would have tired the ferrets out, not our two, as soon as OTL gets on with cleaning the cage, these two go on a 'Rampage'!

Today it is 'Who is The Boss' and even if it looks like Mr Brambles is winning, he isn't!

You know it takes another half an hour of fighting and chasing and hiding to finally wear these two out and as soon as OTL puts them back in the cage, they crash out until this evening!

Of course, when TM drove down the road, we were waiting at the window and went just ever so slightly POTTY!

We gave her a big 'Welcome Home Woof And a Lick'! Then we followed her around while she unpacked, just in case she had brought us any presents!

She hadn't!

Holly gave her the 'We're Starving' look and she opened up a tin of Doggy Scoff!

We have had a week of Gourmet Dinners, cooked to perfection by OTL. Home comes TM and it's all 'Back To Normal'..............Doggy Scoff!

That is the last lick on the nose she's getting today!

See you tomorrow, providing we don't die of hunger!

Luv,

Daisy (The Starving), Holly (The Hungry), Miss Snowflake (OTL feeds us!) and Mr (My Tum is Always Full) Brambles!

It's Clear Up Day Today!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here.

Well, today is the last day of our 'Holiday'. Tomorrow The Missus is returning from 'Up North' after her Baby Sitting Duties, which, we understand, the 'Babies' were either in bed or out with their mates!

Today, Old Two Legs has been running around with the vacuum cleaner and we have been searching out all the carrot ends we have left under the sofa and down the backs of the chairs!

The ferrets have been pointing out where they have left their 'Marker Poos' in TM's craft room!

OTL has been out with the Garden Cam again and caught us out for our late night 'Woof an'a Wee'!

Mind you, he also caught us doing our early morning 'Puppy Patrol' of the garden, just to clear off any stray cat that has over slept!

It was good and sunny as we set off for our walk this morning and OTL spotted a Green Bug Thing on our front door. So he just had to take a picture!

A Green Bug Thing!

Down on the beach Mr Brambles was showing off by running up the side of the Wall of Death, that was, until he fell off.

Holly said it should be called The Wall of Falling Off!

Not falling off just yet!

When we got back, the Bozo Green Thing was still on the door, so OTL got a plastic box and captured the Bug so he could take some photos!
 

A Speckled Bush Cricket!

Looking in the book we were able to identify it. Not a rare find but an absolute pain to photograph.

You see, crickets jump and every time OTL got the bug out of the box it jumped up in the air to get away from the monster with the One Eye and the nasty flashing thingy! So, instead of getting a 'Side On' shot, we had to make do with it hanging on a bit of card that OTL uses as a wall to stop the bugs from escaping in the office!

TM would not be too happy about bugs crawling all over the house after escaping from OTL's Bug Studio!

Now, we just loved the bit about Archie Babe bringing home a frog and wanting to keep it as a pet, we asked OTL if we could keep the cricket as a pet but he said no!

Holly, however, has had a brilliant idea, when Archie Babe visits, maybe he could bring his Frog Mate with him and it could live in our pond and we could send Archie video's of him splashing about on the Lily Leaves!

Lunchtime we ended up in The Forest 'cos OTL had to take a parcel to the carriers and a walk under the shade of the trees while looking for squirrels and Heeland Coos, well, what could be better!

I see No Coo's!

Tonight we are having chicken for dinner and OTL will cook it just how we like it, all warm and greasy!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

It's all happening here!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

As we are getting closer to the end of the month, Old Two Legs work rate has gone up and he looks like having everything sorted in time!

It's all to do with something called 'Year End' and the need to get all invoices paid and sorted before the thirty first. When August the first arrives OTL will be starting his twenty first year of trading!

Twenty one! I bet he wishes he was twenty one again!

For a laugh, OTL set up the 'Garden Cam' on the landing and was planning to catch the ferrets running about in the morning. Well, it sort of worked!

Here's one of OTL and Miss Snowflake playing, 'Chase The Ball'

She really has a thing about the squeaky balls, so much so that we always have a good laugh watching her!

When she got fed up chasing the ball and Mr Brambles, she started playing 'Chase the Echo'

I can hear an Echo, Echo, Echo,Echo!

It was cloudy this morning when we went out for our walk, but it didn't stop OTL from snapping a Meadow Brown that was trying to hide amongst the flowers!

I can see you too!

Lunchtime was much better, there were Two Legs playing on the beach with their fishing rods!

Caught anything yet Bozo?

We met up with a new woofer on the Sea Wall but he was a bit of a Bozo 'cos his owners had told him they were 'In France' on a day trip and he believed them! He was trying to speak French by talking English with a terrible French accent!

Bonjour Off Bozo!

The tide was in, so OTL found a stick and was throwing it for me. Holly, wanting the stick but not wanting to get her feet wet, was sitting on the beach watching.

'Hey' she says, 'Just watch me get that stick'!

OK, Just watch this!

I came splashing back from a big, long swim, when she rushed forward and tried to grab the stick!

I wasn't having any of that and I splashed her with my front paws, that made her let go! I know she hates water!

GerrOff, you Bozo!

 Tonight we have got some Ox Heart for dinner, so we are both looking forward to that!

Just in case you thought we had left Mr Brambles out, here he is!

 Mr Brambles 'On a Mission'!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

 

Back to Work Again!

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Just for a change it was Thunder and Lightening last night, not that much rain fell on us, but it did help to fill the pond up a little!

When we went for our morning walk it was raining little spots and drips, so Old Two Legs, (a little drip in his own right), decided to leave the camera in the car, so no photos of Oscar eyeballing the ferrets!

Miss Snowflake did her normal trick and didn't get out of the ferret bag until we got off the beach!

Back home it was all go, go, go for OTL. Bits of paper and VAT returns and other boring stuff!

We had a look at the video from the Garden Cam and saw that we had caught the Scottish Wild Cat again as it walked past the pond!

The other film bits were of moths flying past the lens at speeds so fast you couldn't identify them!

Lunch time it had stopped raining, but we didn't like the look of the sky but decided that a quick run along the Sea Wall would be the best idea!

We could see the rain storm coming at us from over Essex way!

Here comes The Wet!

Of course, being 'Summer' and sort of 'Holiday Time' there just had to be some Bozo's on the beach fishing!

Now, if she had looked over her shoulder instead of making sure Holly didn't pinch any of her sarnies, she maybe would have been packing up the picnic!

No Sarnies, No Strokes and have you seen that lot?

 I went down to the waters edge and decided it was just a little too rough for me to go swimming, even OTL agreed and told me not to go in!

Too Rough for Little Dogs!

Further along we felt the rain spots start and looking out to sea there was this big menacing looking cloud that must have contained tons and tons of water and was heading our way!

I'm Coming To Get You!

 We headed back to the car as quickly as possible and it was only OTL being so slow that let the rain drops start on us!

So, back home again and off for a snooze on the sofa!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Another Super Sunday.

Hi Woofers All!

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

Last night, just as it was getting dark, we heard a tapping sound on the back window, there, on the patio was a young Blackbird! She was gathering grubs and spiders and other birdy food!

Got any Grubs?

Old Two Legs set the 'Garden Cam' up again and it spotted a new cat stalking about our garden!

This one had a bushy tail and Holly reckons it could be a sort of Scottish Wild Cat!

New Pussy Cat!

Of course, Holly, being Holly, decided that when she went out for her 'Late Night Wee' she would warn all the local cats to 'Stay Out'!

OTL has decided that the garden should be a big 'Wild Life' garden and the plants will be given a help to start off but to a certain extent, would be left to it's self to grow as a wild place.

The patch up the back had several packets of Wild Flowers sown and other than the obvious weeds, which OTL has either chopped down or pulled up, it has all been left to it's self!

The patch of earth beside the pond has several plants purchased from the local 'Aquarium Centre' as Bog or Marsh plants, like reeds and other stuff.

This year there has appeared a new plant that has sprung up. It's about five foot high and has a purple sort of flower. OTL has no idea what it's called, but it off sets the yellow of the other plants that have taken root!

Wild but what's it called?

 Out for our walk this morning, Miss Snowflake did her 'Sneaky Bit' again and crept back into the ferret bag until we got off the beach!

I don't think he saw me!

 The bees are still hunting pollen and OTL caught this one having a Buzzy Day!

Another Buzzy Day!

Back home OTL has been buzzy today and Holly and I have been snoozing.

The F1 Racing was exciting and Holly and I were cheering Hamilton as he went from twenty first up to third place!

So, that's the news from here, we hope you had a fun day as well.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Old Two Legs has a New Toy!

Hello Woofers!

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

Guess what Old Two Legs got delivered yesterday?

No? Well how about this.

Still not guessed?

Yes! It's one of those hidden cameras that work both day and night to see what wild animals there are about!

As you see, we have the two Pussy Cats that think our garden belongs to them and a Holly Dog On Night Time Patrol!

And this one final one is Holly off for an early morning wee, in the daylight!

Now this is all going to be great fun 'cos OTL will be planting the camera in different parts of the garden to catch whatever is passing through. A hedgehog or snakes or Pussy Cats or even Foxes, you never know, there might be another lost ferret, or two!

Now, just how long will this lot take to upload?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We get the Worming Tablets!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's that time of the year again, Worming Time!

This is where Holly and I have some great fun not swallowing our pills and instead, get loads of different 'Nibbles' that may hide a worming tablet.

Now the list can go on for ages, ice cream, cheese, Marmite sandwich, doggy chocs, ferret bits, ferret food, oh, the list just goes on and on!

Well, let's say, Holly and I have dined well today!

Daisy Spaniel's owners came back last night, so that means we have got Old Two Legs to ourselves again!

Our morning run on the beach was fun, Holly found a feather and was trying to convince me that she had eaten the chicken and all that was left was this feather, that was until I pointed out that the feather belonged to a sea gull!

I don't care, it still tasted like chicken!

 It is so funny to see the tricks that Miss Snowflake will try to get up off the beach and back into the ferret bag, then, as soon as she is back in, she wants to come out again!

I've got a sore claw, pick me up daddy!

OTL says he won't fall for her tricks though!

Now, OTL has been busy busy today, so we didn't get a chance to take any more pictures. It is getting close to what OTL calls 'End of Year Accounts' which means he has to catch up on all the paperwork and stuff he should have done in time for the end of this month!

Plus, he has to get money in and pay out money, all before the beginning of August, which he says will be the beginning of his twenty first year of trading or working for himself!

So, we will leave him to get on with everything and put our paws up and watch some TV!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
