The Rabbits Are Getting Too Cheeky!

Hi Woofers!

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

This morning it was a little colder than it has been of late. A sure sign that Autumn is on it's way and it will be Raincoats and Muddy Paws soon!

I'm not sure about the ferrets, I think they will be having a morning walk in the Ferret Bag, only getting out for a wee and a poo!

OK, where's the bag?

We didn't meet any of the lads we normally meet but we were out a bit earlier 'cos we got visitors today!

We got to the end of the walk and Old Two Legs had got our leads back on, then, just as we headed for the car, from behind a bramble bush we heard............

I'm a Speedy Rabbit and you can't catch me!

 That is one rabbit who we have marked down for a 'Talking To'!

 Back home we had our breakfast and a snooze while OTL sorts the ferrets out.

He has to clean the cage out and change their water bottles and empty the poo trays. Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake just loves a 'Rampage' around the office and bedrooms and the loo! They chase each other from room to room and climb all over the shelves in The Missus's card room!

Then there is the 'Sneaky Stuff', that is climbing in the drawer and creeping down the back and kick the drawer above open!

Then they go hunting 'Nibbles' that is the Ferret Nibbles that help stop Hair Balls, well, so the instructions say! Mind you, they do taste good and they are also crunchy and taste of malt paste!

OTL let's me have one or two every so often!

Mr Brambles is always interested in food and when he found out where the Ferretone was stored, that became his 'Target Place' at the end of the 'Rampage'!

Just a quick lick!

 Lunchtime we were out a bit later 'cos the man from the insurance assessors had visited to make out his report. A very nice man but we have to wait for the insurance company to agree the report. Claws crossed!

Down the beach again for some fun and games! OTL spotted a Daisy Type of flower that had big flower and to the side a very small version of the big flower!

Well, it kept him out of the way for a while!

Big and the Small!

Holly and I had a good game of 'First to Blink', we stood there and glared at each other for ages, then, Holly blinked!

Who is going to be first to blink!

We were off!

I was ahead of Holly and running circles around her, she just couldn't keep up with a Super Fast Slim Speed Machine like me!

Can't catch me!

After a while we slowed down for some sniffing. Holly was moaning that I had cheated but I said that she couldn't run with all her weight!

We can't all be a 'Bag of Bones' like you!

So, we are still discussing speed verses weight and Holly says she is more cuddly than me!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Thursday? No, it's Shrewsday Today!

Hi Ho Woofers!

It's the Motley Crew back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Well, Old Two Legs calls us Motley 'cos we don't do what he wants us to, like, 'Come Here or Sit or Don't Roll in That' or even ' Don't Eat That'!

We were up good and early this morning and even had to wake the ferrets up! The sun was shining and there was a balmy breeze blowing, just right for chasing rabbits and investigating sniffs!

On our way down to the beach, the ferrets decided they wanted to get out of the ferret bag for a 'Sniff and a Wee', as they do!

So we took the opportunity to have a sniff while they had a wee.

Mr Brambles was finished first and was soon helping us out with a sniff.

I can hear snuffling as well!

We had the sniff but Mr Brambles said he could hear snuffling, just like a mouse or something that size.

We carried on and pretty soon Holly had flushed out a Shrew!

OTL made Holly put it down and we took it over to the sea wall where OTL managed to get a couple of shots of it before it ran back to the grass!

That was Scary!

Mr Brambles asked if he could go and play 'Chase' with the shrew and Miss Snowflake asked if it tasted like chicken!

OTL told us all that we had to leave it alone so it could go home and have a sit down and a cup of tea after being scared like that!

Holly reckoned that it could have tasted like chicken but there wasn't enough meat on it to get a decent taste!

Back home we were still discussing the shrew 'cos The Missus hadn't thawed out our Ox Heart yet and we were starving!

Lunchtime we were back down the sea wall again and Holly and I did some 'Sneaky Creeping' around the bramble bushes looking for rabbits but they had all gone out shopping down in Rochester Market.

Holly was wondering if they sold Ox Heart down the market and OTL told us about the markets in Tooting where they used to sell horse meat off the stall. Holly said that as hungry as she may be, she couldn't eat a whole horse, well, not in one sitting!

She is such a Wag!

We went back and the shrew had disappeared, so he had either been eaten by the Kestrel that is always hovering about or it had returned to the long grass to join his mates!

No Shrews here!

Back home OTL has been busy with his bits of paperwork and stuff, so we haven't seen much of him!

I spent the afternoon snoozing under the office desk and Holly has been down stairs watching TV.

The Missus just loves those soppy cooking programs and of course, if there's food, there's Holly!

OK, we are busy busy tomorrow 'cos the Insurance Assessor Man is coming to look at the hole in the ceiling.

So it looks like an early night 'cos it's going to be an early morning!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Miss Snowflake meets Dragonfly!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

It was a super sunny morning today and we had a great time on the beach. Holly and I started off by playing 'Chase' up and down the beach.

The Chase Game!

Old Two Legs said that I couldn't go in swimming 'cos he didn't want a 'Soggy Doggy' in the big car. The Missus had taken the small car and was off doing a 'Master Class' at one of the local Craft Shops in Maidstone.

Go On! I dare you!

Mind you, I did manage a quick paddle and Holly kept of trying to get me to swim out a bit but I said that I would, providing she was ahead of me!

Mr Brambles had fun running along the beach close to the waves but didn't go in the water, he said it was 'Too Wet'!

That's wet out there!

We met up with The Lads on their walk along the Sea Wall. Poor old Oscar was looking out for the ferrets but OTL had them in the Ferret Bag. Oscar could sniff them but couldn't see them!

It drove him potty trying to work out where his breakfast was!

I can sniff ferret but can't see them!

On the way back to the car, Miss Snowflake was scared by a bird screeching. Miss Snowflake went into 'Frozen Mode' where she stops still and looks to the sky watching out for danger. Well, the bird, a sea gull, had long time disappeared over the hill and Snowflake was still looking up in the sky.

While she was looking, and remaining very still, a 'Red Darter' dragonfly landed on her back thinking she was some sort of food!

That scared her almost as much as the bird and it took OTL some time to get her to climb up onto his arm for a cuddle!

Mind you, it wasn't long before she was scrabbling to get down onto the ground again!

Wossat on My Butt?

 I must admit, I did come along to have a look but by the time I got there, the Dragonfly had flown off again!

Lunchtime was fun as well 'cos we went out for a ride into town to do a delivery and then down to the beach again.

OK, where's my eyes?

 The best bit was where Holly went up to some Two Legs and said that she was all lost and very hungry and did they have any food she could have?

Got any food Mister?

 I told her she was very cheeky doing that but she said they didn't have any food so she didn't hang around!

Back home we went to wait for TM to return and Holly says that she will be covered in Glitter and with bits of paper glued to her nose!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

A Room with a View?

Hi Woofers!

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

Another fun day here in North Kent, a bit of sunshine and Old Two Legs is seeing the funny side!

No more of the ceiling had fallen down last night, so that was good news. Standing there looking at the void, OTL said that we must have to only bathroom where you could sit on the loo, watch TV in the lounge and have a discussion with whoever was in the lounge, all at the same time!

Can you turn to the News please?

Down on the beach, the tide was in but OTL wouldn't let me go in swimming, seems like he had a lot to do today!

Come on, Just a Little Paddle?

 Mr Brambles was winding OTL up a bit 'cos he said he had found a 'SSS' and he was doing a 'Doggy Roll' in it!

This how you do a 'Doggy Roll'!

 OTL was not happy about that until he spotted it was just some sea weed!

 Me in Silhouette!

OTL told me to 'Stand Still and Pose' but I told him, No Swim, No Posing!

Just for a laugh, Holly was showing Mr Brambles some 'Doggy Sniffs' on the beach and telling him to 'Have A Roll'!

Go On Lad, Get Stuck In!

 Miss Snowflake said that she could find some interesting sniffs on her own, and proceeded to roll an old plastic bottle around on the sand, that was until OTL told her she wouldn't get and 'Ferret Treats' if she got too smelly!

Strange Sniff this one!

That was it, she left the bottle and headed back to the car!

Lunchtime, OTL had finished discussions with the insurance company and we are awaiting the visit of an 'Assessor' who is to decide on what is 'claimable'.

OTL says that they should knock the house down and build a new one for him but we think he has no chance of that!

We went to the beach again but the clouds chased us and it started to rain, so, back to the car in double quick time!

Here come the rain!

Tonight, OTL is going to get a Chinese Take-Away Meal and dig out a bottle of Bubbly 'cos yesterday was their twenty seventh wedding anniversary and what with the leaky pipe and all that, they didn't feel like celebrating!

Today is different, so, Holly and I have put our order in for some Kling Plawns in Batter and a big bag of Plawn Clackers, just for us!

We will leave the Bubbly to them but the Plawn Clacker are ours!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles (The Smelly One)!

OTL is Still Not Happy!

Hi Woofers!

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

OTL is still not in a 'Good Mood' 'cos the repair men sent by the insurance company didn't turn up yesterday. When OTL telephoned them this morning he was asked if he had cancelled the call out. As OTL said, 'I've got water pouring through my ceiling, why the 'ell would I cancel the call out!'


He then got a call from the people who arrange visits and promised that someone would be down by one thirty!

Feeling safe we went off for a walk with the ferrets!

OK! Let's Hunt Rabbit!

We got around the corner and there was not a rabbit is sight! Holly reckons they had been scarred off by another woofer who was just ahead of us, not that I could see any woofers ahead of us at all!

OTL got all 'artistic' about the sea and the sky and the tug that was sitting out on the water waiting for a job!

Just Hanging around for a job!

Mr brambles was down on the beach an scampering around digging holes all over the place.

Miss Snowflake just sat there and kept asking if she could get back into the bag!

Can I get back in yet, it's too cold out here?

 Holly and I got off the beach and were hanging around while the ferrets were having a sniff, when, around the corner came a couple of terrier type woofers!

'Hello' we said, 'Where did you come from?'

'We've been chasing Loads of Rabbits' the boss dog said. Now Holly and I knew who had chased the rabbits off!

We've been chasing rabbits!

Having solved the puzzle of the missing rabbits we headed off for home and our breakfast.

We got in and OTL went looking for the plumber.

 Yep, you guessed it, no plumbing engineer!

Not too disappointed, OTL went off to the office while Holly and I got stuck into our chicken!

About twelve fifteen, I gave OTL's seat a bash to show him I wanted to go out for another walk and as the plumber had an hour and a quarter before he was late, OTL agreed we could go!

The tide was out, so no swimming but we did see the trail from a Wormy Man!

We counted him out and we counted him back again!

 Holly and I were discussing what we could do to make OTL a bit happier, she suggested that she would train as a Heating and Plumbing Engineer, so she could help OTL if he got any more leaks.
 

I could be a Plumber!

 I thought that was a good idea, then I had a thought, I could collect the insurance money!

Yeah! OTL loves keeping money!

Back home we went and you know what we found?

Nothing, no phone calls, no plumber!

Back on the phone to the people who are getting the plumber to us. Seems like he got held up at the last job!

Five past three, OTL gets a call from the plumber man, he is on his way!

OTL is a little happier!

After that it was all downhill!

The plumber and OTL got to work, the floor was taken up and the ceiling fell down!

It looks like it has been slowly leaking for some time 'cos the ceiling was rotten black and we think it was only the paint holding it all together!

It has been, 'One of those days!'

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Not the Best Sunday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Wot A Day!

It was all blustery when we went out this morning and Old Two Legs left the camera in the car, just in case it started to rain, which it did, but not for too long!

Holly found some SSS, (Super Smelly Sh*&) and had a roll, a really good roll that sort of went all over her from head to tail!

OTL was not happy!

Then just as he was finishing his morning jobs,The Missus pointed out a damp patch on the lounge ceiling, just under where the heated towel rail is!

OTL does his 'Turn Everything Off' then gets onto the insurance people who say a man will be around today to 'Have a Look'

So, we have no heating (No problem), no hot water, (a Pain but not the end of the world) and a wet and soggy ceiling (possibly problematic)!

Then, when we went out for our lunchtime walk, it poured down, (the rain, not the water in the house)!

So, OTL is still not a happy OTL, the insurance recommended repair man has still not arrived and we have no photo's to show you!

I think it would be a good idea if we went back for our snooze until it all clears up or goes away!

See you tomorrow, with some good news, we hope!

Luv,

Daisy, Honking Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

One of those Lazy Saturdays!

Hi Woofers!

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

Today has been a really lazy day, The Missus went off to her 'Crop' in the Village Hall leaving us to choose what to do today. Old Two Legs looked at the decorating and decided to do some 'Paperwork' instead!

Us Woofers decided that a long walk down the sea side would be a good idea!

Early this morning, after dropping TM off, we were down on the beach hunting rabbits and stuff.

OTL said it was a super sunrise but we couldn't see what he was on about but with a bit of help from Photoshop, it got all colourful!

Just wait until Autumn comes!

Holly said it was cheating but agreed that the Autumn and Winter were best for sun rises over Sheerness!

We met up with Oscar who still reckons that a ferret would taste like chicken and is busting to try a nibble of Snowflake or Brambles!

Aw' Come On, Just a Little Nibble!

Of course, OTL wouldn't allow that and he keeps a close eye on Oscar, even if he is on a lead!

Back home it was 'Clear Up Time' for the ferret cage while both ferrets went on a rampage in TM's card store room, all in and out of the shelves and the plastic boxes full of stuff!

Holly and I went back to bed on our cushions and left them to it!

Lunchtime I reminded OTL that it was time for our walk again and soon we were back down on the beach. The tide was right out, so no swimming, and on top of that, OTL wouldn't allow us to go splodging about in the mud!

We spotted a rather worn out looking Bumblebee who was still gathering nectar from the flowers but his wings looked ragged around the edges. He must have been working hard this summer!

Can't stop, Winters coming!

 Just to confirm what the Bumblebee had said, we found a Fungi pushing its head up through the grass!

Nearly Autumn!

 Just for a laugh, OTL took a picture of Sheerness and said it looks like a sunset.

Yeah, in yer dreams!

Sunset just starting?

Not sure what is planned for tomorrow but Holly and I fancy a long run, maybe down The Forest of even The New Park!

We'll have to see what OTL is up to tomorrow and what time he gets up!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

A Different Beach, for a Change!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

We were up good and early this morning, Old Two Legs had a lot to do today, so an early start was called for!

Down on the beach Holly found a patch of sand that had little hopping sand fly type of things jumping about. At first she thought that the sand had come to life and was having a dance!

Here Look! The sand is moving!

Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles had fun racing each other along the Sea Wall, sharing sniffs together. Then just as he found a particularly good sniff, she started to lick his ear and put him right off!

Now this how to share a sniff!

We couldn't hang about 'cos there was loads to do, so, back home to some Chicken and Biscuits, which made a change from Doggy Scoff!

The Missus said that Mike & Sue & Daisy were going to visit this afternoon, so we had to get everything done and out of the way before they turned up!

OTL had to go down to Herne Bay to pick up some stuff so we had a run on the beach before going to collect the stuff.

OTL found a stone that looked like it had several stones inside it including some shinny glittery stones that OTL called crystals!

Shinny Crystal Stone Thingy!

I was more interested in going for a swim, so OTL threw the rubber bone in the water for me. I went in a couple of times to get the bone but the water was getting too rough, Holly said that it was because there was an 'On Shore Wind'!

She knows all about this nautical stuff you see!

All I know was, it made the waves crash on me and the shore!

Getting a bit Rough!

Of course, you have to watch out for the big wave 'cos they try to creep up on you and there was one that did a sneaky and crept up on me good and proper!

What the ...............?

After that one OTL said it may be a good idea if I stayed out of the sea for a while, I thought that was a good idea as well!

You can keep the waves, I'll stay here and chase sea gulls!

Back home Mike & Sue & Daisy had arrived and we told them all about our adventures and Sue had brought Holly and me a carrot each and a super chew each!

Holly and I enjoyed them and had a good chew before crashing out for a snooze!

Miss Daisy was playing with the ferrets and gave them loads of strokes and even fed them with the Ferretone, especially Mr Brambles who was up for a kick about of the water bowl and Poo Pot, just for fun!

OTL still has some stuff to do but we are looking forward to some shortbread tonight that Archie Babe brought with him as a present for OTL.

We will enjoy helping him sample them tonight!

Well, it's Friday so it must be Shortbread and a Slurp!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

I nearly get a Rabbit and Miss Snowflake gets caught out!

Hi Woofers!

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

We had some fun first thing this morning. Holly and I got out of the car and headed off to the Rabbit Hunting Ground, and, while we waited for Old Two Legs to arrive, we did a bit of mooching around in the long grass.

All of a sudden a rabbit made a bolt for the rabbit hole on the other side of the path, we were both after it in a flash. It headed down the path, weaving from side to side, just trying to put us off but we're too clever for that!

Ahead was OTL and the ferrets, who were both on the grass, about to have a wee. The ferrets, not OTL!

OTL spotted us and the rabbit heading his way and started to wave his arms about to warn us all that the ferrets were on the ground. Well the rabbit didn't know anything about the ferrets but did a sharp left hand turn when he saw OTL jumping up and down like a Bozo!

That was it, rabbit went left, we went straight ahead, rabbit got away and ferrets escaped being run over, just!

Down on the beach Mr Brambles decided to have a game with Miss Snowflake. However she had managed to sneak back into the bag again!

Didn't see me get in did you?

Mr Brambles went off to find that plastic cup and of course, stuck his head inside and started to shout that the sun had gone!

Hey! Where's the Sun gone?

He knew he would get Miss Snowflake out of the bag to help him and in no time, there she was giving him instructions!

Hold Still! I'll get OTL to help!

When he got out he told Snowflake that you could hear the waves crashing on the shore when you stick your head in the cup. As the tide was well out, Miss Snowflake said she would try it providing Mr Brambles would stayed with her to help if she got stuck in the cup!

Yes, I can hear the sea!

Mr Brambles caught a sniff and was off, leaving Snowflake there, calling out for Brambles to take the cup  off her head.

Hello? Hello? Can you hear me or have I lost my voice?

OTL came to the rescue and soon had the cup off her head and when she found out that Mr Brambles was half way down the beach, she chased after him and told him off for leaving her!

Not that he took any notice!

We looked out to sea and OTL noticed a sort of mound in the sand with what looks like a river or stream running around it. Holly, who watches 'Time Team' says it is a Medieval Hill Fort with a moat around the outside and the whole lot had sunk into the mud.

Medieval Hill Fort, on the marshes?

OTL said that if we wanted, we had three days to sort it out!

Yeah! On yer bike OTL!

Back home we had Doggy Scoff waiting for us, YUK!

Lunch time arrived and we set off again but when we got down to the car park it had started to rain, then it got very dark and there was lightening and then thunder.

We all stayed in the car, waiting for the rain to pass.

Very Wet!

The rain came down, and then it came down some more and it got wetter and wetter!

Holly and I were up at the windscreen watching it pour down and we kept asking OTL.

Is it going to finish soon?

After a while, it went across the Thames and into Essex where Holly said that they would appreciate a bit of rain!

As we watched it go it seemed to completely cover Southend on Sea and Holly said it might be enough to wash Southend into the Sea!

Bye bye rain!

That was the last we saw of the rain and off we went for our walk along the Sea Wall.

Holly and I are making plans to give OTL a serious mugging tonight and try to get out of having to eat Doggy Scoff!

Mind you, if he gets Ham Salad then we're out of luck and he's on his own!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
