Misty Mornings and a Sunny Day

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Wot a super day today, the morning was misty and there was dew on all the grasses, which means the ferrets got as wet as us woofers and we all had a good towelling when we got back to the car!

Down on the beach, the sun was up but there was a load of mist over the sea but the sun shining through made a pretty picture!

Misty Sheerness Morning!

 We all had a super time running up and down the beach and I even went in for a 'Deep Paddle', just to test the water!

Shall I or Shan't I?

In the end I decided not to go swimming, you see Old Two Legs didn't have my rubber bone with him and it's just not the same!

We met up with Oscar, he is the one who fancies a 'Ferret and Mushroom Breakfast'!

OTL had both ferrets up in his arms, so Oscar was out of luck today!

We got a good bowl full of chicken today, just chicken, no rice!

The Missus doesn't read my diary or she would have added some rice and broth, just like Archie Babe gets!

Lunchtime, the tide had gone back out, so no chance of a swim or even a paddle in the mud!

Mind you, there were a few Black Headed Gulls paddling in the mud looking for worms and the such like.

I know you're there, just come on out, NOW!

 Holly and I sat there for a while watching his antics trying to get the worms out. After a while Holly said that she would have to be really starving before she contemplated eating worms for dinner!

Not for me Sis!

There are times when Holly Dog can be very profound!

We were walking back, looking for rabbits, when we heard this terrible barking going on behind us and a couple of Woofers were heading our way!

The big Alsatian had a stick in her mouth and headed straight for OTL, just to get a tickle, Tart!

The little one was giving it some 'Serious Woofing', but after a few seconds was all over OTL as well!

 Holly says that it is always the little ones that got the biggest mouth.

I was going to suggest that her mouth was rather large when it came to the woofing bit, but I decided that now was not the best time to loose Holly's 'Back Up', just in case these two decided to get into a woofing contest with us!

OK, we heard you, now Woof Off!

 Back home for some snoozing and pinch some of the Ferret Nibbles, just to keep the 'Hair Balls' away!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Back to Normal Again!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, yesterday I wasn't too happy, what with my bad leg and generally missing out on sniffs!

I spent most of the time curled up on Old Two Legs lap or in my bed, wrapped up in one of the ferrets blankets and feeling sorry for myself!

By the evening I was feeling much better, the pain had gone and I was jumping up and down off the sofa chasing Holly around for a nibble of her carrot!

This morning was fun, Holly showed me all the sniffs I missed yesterday and I found a couple of others as well!

Snowflake was doing her 'Beach Shark' impersonation, which had us all laughing our tails off!

Beach Shark!

Back home we all enjoyed a mornings snoozing and chewing on some rawhide chews!

Well, in fact, we were chewing on Hollies chew, you see she had been giving it a good chew last night and it had got to the point where the seriously tasty bit was in the middle when The Missus took it away from her.

TM doesn't like us eating chews on the bed when TM is trying to get to sleep!

During the morning I had found it and was giving it a good chew while Holly was on the floor, close up to me, trying the old intimidation trick.

That doesn't work on me and I kept it until I had a needed a rest. Holly all this time was grumbling under her breath and making such a noise that OTL cut the chew in half, gave us both half each and told Holly not to show off so much!

It didn't work really 'cos I went over to her and sat there giving her the old 'Hairy Eyeball' and put her off the chew all together!

I don't care if OTL gave it to you, I WANT IT BACK!

We both sat there for an hour before OTL got fed up and said the magic word, WALKIES!


Lunchtime we were off again to the beach and today the tide was well out, OTL said it wouldn't come in until six tonight and we decided not to wait!

Instead we  went off investigating sniffs!

Sharing a sniff with Sis!

Out on the mud there were loads of birds digging the worms and crustaceans for lunch. We recon they were nearly all Godwits, loads and loads there were!

Loads of Godwits!

A bit closer to the beach Mrs Corvid was having a paddle in the rock pools looking for a tasty morsel!

Seen any good whelks?

Holly and I jumped up on the table to try to count the Godwits but we had to give up in the end as our eyes kept on going wobbly!

Up in the air!

We headed for home and Holly rushed in to grab the rawhide chew she left on the coffee table, any one would think I would try to pinch it!

As if!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

I Hurt a Little Bit!

Hi Woofers!

We're back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

This morning when Old Two Legs got up there was a fine 'Red Sky' shining through the office window and Miss Snowflake was looking out of the window muttering one of her 'Ferret Sayings'

'Red Sky in the morning, Ferret take Warning'!

I said it looked pretty but Snowflake says that it is a sign of a change in the weather, and it could be for the worse!

A Happy little Soul she is first thing in the morning!

OTL said that if the weather was going to change we had better be out on our walk PDQ!

PDQ? That means Puppy Dog Quick!

When we arrived the Red Sky had gone but on the beach were loads of sea gulls, of course, we got the normal question from Holly!

You know, 'Do you think they taste like chicken?'

Breakfast?

We met up with Max, Oscar and Bryn who were having a break while their owners we sitting down having a chat.

Mr Brambles was winding them all up by calling out 'I'm a little ferret and you can't see me!'

What he was doing was staying close to the wall so the woofers had to lean right over if they wanted to see him, of course, none of them were brave enough to lean over in case they fell off the wall!

Can't See Me!

Miss Snowflake was having fun with a lump of wood she found on the beach. She said it would make a super surf board and as soon as she could stop it from wobbling, she would try it in the sea!

Yeah Right!

It's just a little wobbly at the moment!

Holly and I managed to kick up a couple of rabbits and we played 'Chase' for a while, with me doing most of the work!

The only problem was, I must have twisted my leg or pulled a muscle 'cos when I got back home it was hurting so much that I just curled up in a ball and went to sleep. Normally after a good snooze it is all back to normal. OTL says that it could be Lactic Acid buildup in my muscles, I don't know, all I know is it stops me running about!

Lunch time came and I had been snoozing under OTL's desk for most of the morning and when he mentioned 'Walkies' I thought, No I'll pass on it this time!

Off went OTL and Holly but as Holly says, 'OTL is OK, but you can't share a sniff with him like you can your sister!'

Daisy would have loved this one!

 You know, Holly didn't even feel like sniffing the muddy bits either!

It's a bit lonely out on the Sea Wall

She said she kept on looking back, expecting to see me come bounding over the hill towards her but I just wasn't around!

She even stood up on one of the seats and woofed, just in case I was lost in the bushes!

It's nice to be missed!

I can't see her from here either!

When she came back, OTL had to give her a wash 'cos she had the 'Grubby Butt' and afterwards she tried to get me to have a game but I just didn't feel like a game and instead I climbed up into OTL's arms and he took me back to the cushion under the desk.

I should be OK by tomorrow, and them rabbits better had watch out then!

Maybe I aught to suggest to The Missus that she cooks me some rice and chicken like wot Archie Babe had, well it seems to have worked on him 'cos he is better. Well done Archie Babe!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

A Super Sunday.

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

We love Sundays, Old Two Legs doesn't turn on the 'Work Computer' and we more attention!

Mine you, we still have to compete with the ferrets for his attention but in the end we all get a share of OTL!

First of all he has to get the ferret cage sorted out and food bowl re-filled! Much to Mr Brambles delight, he is always first into the food bowl!

Miss Snowflake gets fed a bit later and occupies her time rampaging around the bedroom and The Missus's Store Room!

We head off for our morning walk and both ferrets go into 'Snooze Mode' in the travelling cage and are still a bit dopey when OTL puts them in the ferret bag! We get down to the beach and have a run around. If the ferrets haven't got out of the bag for a wee before hand, they get out of the bag, with a bit of help from OTL, and wander around for a wee.

Then, Miss Snowflake tries to get back into the bag again!

Come on, let me back, just for a couple of minutes!

Back home we all have a game of 'Chase The Woofer', well the ferrets do! Holly and I have a trick or two ourselves, Holly stays down stairs on the sofa while I get up onto the bed and watch the ferrets trying to climb up the bed side!

Pretty soon they head off to their cage for a snooze that lasts all day, except for a wee or a poo during the day!

Lunchtime we head off to have our walk and just for fun, we try a bit of Rabbit Hunting!

We're looking for Rabbits!

 Because it is Sunday, there are loads of Two Legs wandering about, so, the rabbits stay hidden in their holes and spend the day snoozing!

Today I spotted OTL putting the Red Bone in his pocket, Great, that means I can go swimming and play at Fetch The Bone!

Today, when we get down there, the tide is still well out and it would be another hour before it arrives at the shore!

Now this was not fair, I was so looking forward to a swim. You know, I rushed up and down the beach calling the water to Hurry Up but it didn't rush in any faster!

Then I had an idea, how about I go for a splash about in the mud!

I ran the idea past OTL who didn't think much of it and promised that if I got muddy, it would be the Hose Pipe for me!

Aw come on OTL, just a little paddle in the mud?

Well, needless to say, I didn't get into the mud but instead headed for home where I know a big bowl of chicken is waiting for me!

Tomorrow we have a number of workmen arriving to give OTL and 'Estimate' for repairing the hole in the ceiling and also install another heating system!

We're going to be warm this winter!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

The Weekend is Here!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Well, after such a big blog yesterday we forgot to wish Archie Babe a 'Speedy Return' to good health!

It seems that our Archie is suffering from the dreaded 'Grumbly Tum Syndrome'!

Keep taking the medicine Archie Babe and get well soon!

This morning the ferrets were in a funny mood, they both tried to crawl back into the ferret bag when Old Two Legs put them on the sand!

Up on the grass path, Mr Brambles found a patch where a Stoat had been and then it had a wee. So, just like us woofers he just had to have a roll!

Then Miss Snowflake joined in and the pair of them wore the sniff out!

Don't you just love a roll!

 When we got to the Rabbit Hunting Ground, Miss Snowflake came up behind me and asked how my nose was, 'OK' says I, wondering what she was up to, 'Well' says Miss Snowflake, 'If it still hurts I could give it another kiss!'

Go On, just a peck on the nose!

I've seen the size of their teeth, 'No Thanks' says I!

Lunchtime we were back down the beach and the tide was almost in, so, I just had to investigate if it was warm enough for a swim!

Mmmm, I reckon it is worth a swim!

Being on a rising tide I enjoyed running out to the Red Bone which OTL was able to throw right out and I was able to go splashing all the way out!

Yahoooooooooo!

Holly of course, she stayed on the beach and refused to go swimming at all! She did however try to ambush me as I came in but I was too fast for her!

Come to Holly!

It didn't take too long for the tide to come in and the water got deeper so I could have a little swim!

As I was coming back with the bone OTL took a picture of me and it looks like my periscope is broken!

What's happened to my Periscope?

 On our way back we met up with Sandy who has taken to Holly Dog. He started off by chasing me and I gave him a woof just to keep him away but Holly stood still and planted a kiss on her nose!

Holly gets kissed!

Back home it was Ox Heart for dinner and as OTL has curry tonight, I don't expect to get too much of that!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

A Marathon Blog Today!

Hi Ho Woofers!

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

Well, what a day! We were up a little later than normal 'cos Old Two Legs had been making a pig of himself with the shortbread and the fine bottle of malt whisky Alun had presented him with! So, in the end we left home fifteen minutes late!

We will have to issue him with a warning about this lateness, we can't have any slacking!

Down on the beach we spotted a message some Two Legs had left last night!

Wish You Were Here?

I was trying to work out what it said when I tripped up and banged my nose on a bit of wood that had been washed up onto the beach. So, there I was with a sore nose and watery eyes when Miss Snowflake came up and gave me a kiss on the nose 'Just to make it Better'!

A kiss will make it better!

Back home we got served Doggy Scoff, Yuk! Mind you after last nights King Prawns and Plawn Clackers, we still had full tummy's!

OTL got all his gear together and everyone headed for the front door. Holly and I knew we weren't going to get an invitation 'cos they had been talking about visiting Rochester Castle and to be honest, we didn't fancy having a wander around the castle grounds 'cos we wouldn't be allowed off the lead or in the building!

I hate it when a place is anti-dog! 

Rochester Castle.

The Missus and Alun decided they really didn't fancy climbing all over the castle and sneaked off for a wander around the grounds and ended up getting rained on!

OTL, Glynis and Abby stayed inside the castle and kept dry!

OTL was giving Abby some pointers on the camera operation and also composition. Glynis was standing by an arch and OTL showed how just turning the camera at an angle created a 'Fashion Shot'!

Fashion Model!

Abby was trying to take 'secret' pictures of people and of course OTL, so, OTL started taking pictures of her as well!

We won't show you the ones where she was pulling faces or sticking her tongue out or even pointing her finger at OTL and telling him where he could keep his camera!

Gottcha!

 Inside the castle there was loads of 'Frames within Frames'

Frames!

 The castle was very high and even looked down on Rochester Cathedral!

Rochester Cathedral

 Inside the castle you can see the well and the different floors where they ate and slept and in one room there was the 'Robing Room' which we now call the Loo.

It's a good thing that OTL has a bad sense of smell!

A View from the Dining Hall!

 The spiral staircases were steep and the steps were a bit of a climb!

Going Up!

Looking from the top of the castle you could see the Russian Submarine moored up on the River Medway.

Anyone know the way back to Severomorask?

When they all came back we had a bit of lunch and then waved Bye Bye to Alun, Glynis and Abby as they headed off for home.

OTL went up to do some work but Holly and I had decided we wanted our midday walk so the work had to wait!

Down on the beach the tide was on it's way in so I had a paddle, followed by a dip and I even tried to take a tennis ball away from a Spaniel called Poppy!

No chance, I couldn't get it in my mouth and Poppy soon got it away from me!

Lost to a Big Mouth!

We wandered down the Sea Wall and the tide raced in and it got deep enough for me to have a swim and a chase of the red bone!

Me being a Russian Sub!

I called out to Holly to come and have a swim 'cos the water was rather warm, Holly on the other paw said that I was a 'Right Soppy Woofer' for wanting to get soaking wet!

Wot a Soppy Woofer!

I came out of the water and tried to get Holly to have a game of 'Chase' 'cos she had been very patiently sitting on the sand while I had my swim.

All of a sudden we heard 'Let's Play Chase Girls'!

We spun around to see this big lump of a Bozo thundering up the beach!

Yo Girls! My name is Doug!

 I must admit, I was a bit scared to begin with but we soon found out that we could run faster, turn faster and generally run circles around Doug!

Come on Slow Coach!

 We ran behind OTL and watched Doug come steaming up the beach. We were laughing at the way his face seemed to flop up and down as he ran!

Look, a Skin Changer!

He got called away by his owner and we headed for home as well. I got a good rub down back in the car and OTL spent so long drying me that Holly got a bit jealous and asked OTL to give her a rub down as well, even though she wasn't wet!

Wot a Soppy Puppy!

Back home we had some fun with OTL's new camera and some of the programs or Aps.

This one we thought was fun, OTL's 'Work Station'!

Work Station!

Phew! This has been a long blog today, so many pictures, so many words!

We are off to see if the Doggy Scoff has changed into a big juicy steak and of course, to say 'Hello' to the fairies behind the sofa!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Today OTL gets Engineered!

Hi Woofers!

We're here again! Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Young Abby was going to come out for a walk with us this morning but at the last moment decided that bed was preferable 'cos there was the threat of rain!

By the time we had got down onto the Sea Wall it was all sun shine and fun. It makes a good change from the weather we have had over the last few days!

I just Love the Sun Shine!

 It's amazing how everything changes for the better and it makes us all smile!

Sunshine is Ggggreat!

 We met up with a Bozo and even he was smiling!

Yeah! This is the Life!

 We got left at home while Old Two Legs and everyone else went off to the Royal Engineers Museum for a visit. We didn't mind too much 'cos we were not that keen on visiting. Well, you know how much they would get upset if we did a wee on their parade ground!

When they all came back we were off down the Sea Wall again and you know what, That Abby is as bad as OTL for snapping us on our walks, I mean, every time we looked up from a sniff, click, click, click!

She's doing it again!

 We met up with Oscar and Bonnie who had been for a splash about in the sea, lucky woofers!

Wot? No Ferrets?

 Bonnie was getting a bit tired after her 'Deep Paddle' so she said 'Hello' to OTL then cuddled up to Alun!

Wot a Tart!

Abby was still clicking away at everything she saw and was panicking about missing a shot of Holly doing a wee!

I mean, there is no privacy when she's about!

Oh My Gawd! I missed that one!

 We had a super evening mugging everyone for their Chinese Take-a-Way, especially the King Prawns and the Plawn Clackers!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!
