I'm a Soggy Doggy!

Hello Woofers!

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

You can tell the weekend is here, first thing in The Missus packing stuff up for a 'Master Class' and then pinching the little car to go out for the day card making!

As if she doesn't get enough of it at home!

We got down to the beach a bit earlier than normal, so Old Two Legs managed to capture a 'Morning' picture across the river!

 A Golden Morning Light

Both ferrets were awake and out of the bag a bit quicker than normal, so that is a sign that the Spring is here!

OTL was playing about trying to get a Ferrets Eye View again. Miss Snowflake said that under the sea weed there was a Big Slimy Monster!

Here Be Monsters!

It wasn't long before they were running up the beach towards The Sea Wall. OTL tried but missed getting a Ferrets Eye View of Brambles and Snowflake having a race up the beach!

Another Ferrets Eye View!

There was a lot of noise coming from over the wall but we didn't see anyone but that didn't stop Brambles from having a long 'Listen'!

Wossat Up There?

Snowflake noticed that the sea had done some re-arranging of the shells on the beach and now claims that there are hills on the beach!

It's all Up Hill Now!

Along the top path we met up with Dave the Westie. We said 'Hello' but really all he wanted was to do was to say hello to OTL!

Hello OTL!

He got a stroke and a tickle on his tail which made him laugh and wriggle around!

Back home TM was getting ready to go out so we couldn't hang around too long!

OTL spent some time manufacturing while Holly and I had a snooze until just before lunchtime.

Now normally it is me who jumps up and shoves the back of OTL's chair to show it is time for our lunchtime walk. Not today, Holly crept up behind OTL and did a 'Really Big Woof' which, makes OTL turn around and ask what she wants!

OTL says to Holly, 'OK, What do you want? Show Me'

Holly runs off to the top of the stairs, turns around to make sure OTL is following, then down stairs to the front door.

OTL follows and then asks again, 'What do you want?'

Holly then goes up to the foot stool where our lead is kept and touched it with her nose!

Now, can you understand that both Holly and I can 'Talk' to OTL in our own way?

So, that was it, OTL got his coat and camera and off we went!

The tide was almost at the 'Top of The Tide', in fact, there was only half an hour left before High Tide!

I had a trot along the beach and a little paddle, until OTL told me to 'Come on Out', spoilsport!

A Paddle would be nice!

I carried on along the shore line and all of a sudden, I slipped into water when the stones gave way under me, Honest!

It was the stones fault!

Then I couldn't resist it, I went splashing into the water and paddled around a little bit!

OTL gave way and threw a stick into the water and off I went! It was great feeling the water over my back and of course, my periscope was straight up!

Periscope up!

It was OK carrying the stick in the water 'cos it floats but getting it up the beach to OTL was a bit awkward at times!

It's got a bit of a droop!

Holly, who doesn't do water, sat on the beach topping up her tan and totally ignoring me all together!

I don't do water!

On our way back we bumped into Darcy who was just tickled pink to see OTL and had a little game of 'Chase The Stick' but thought it was 'The Business' when OTL tickled Darcy's tail!

OTL does a good Tickle!

We stopped at the bench and jumped up to see if there were any rabbits running about and Holly said that she looked looked 'The Business' 'cos I was a little 'Damp Around the Edges'.

Even OTL said that I looked like a Soggy Doggy!

Doesn't she look bedraggled!

We went out in the afternoon to the carrier and by then I was all dry and fluffed up!

So, now we are sitting at the bedroom window waiting for TM to come back and cook some dinner!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

The Sun Shine Brings Them All Out!

Hello Woofers!

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

The sunshine has been super today, all lovely and warm and the wind has dropped as well!

You will all be glad to know that the fridge is still working and the door hasn't fallen off either!

Of course, The Missus has been stuffing it full of 'essential' things like Gin, Tonic Water, Inky Pads, Paints and Pickled Onions!

You know, we reckon she needs to see the vet soon and get some worming tablets!

Down on The Beach, we met up with The Lads again and we even got a share of their Nibbles! In fact it was the same as we get at home and the same stuff that Mr Brambles just Loves!

Which caused some problems!

Now I'm glad someone else gets these Nibbles as well!

You see, it's the same nibbles that Brambles pinches out of our bowl in the mornings. After his Poo Pot is cleared up and the door is opened, both he and Snowflake rush out for a 'Rampage' but in Brambles case it is a 'Charge' downstairs and straight into the kitchen!

Well, he was a bit upset that we had eaten all the nibbles and not saved him any!

So, after being deposited on the sand, he had a word with Old Two Legs asking why he hadn't got any nibbles? 

Why won't they share?

OTL said that we were a greedy pair of Woofers and should have saved at least one nibble but as Holly said, 'They were just Too Tasty to share!'

Oi! Where's My Nibbles?

Mind you, the ferrets got their own back 'cos they found a 'Super Sniff' on the beach and had a good long roll in it and OTL didn't even tell them off!

This is GRRRRReat!

Mind you, I thought that Snowflake was enjoying it just a little too much!

Oooooooo! This is a Really Good Sniff to Roll in!

Holly said she was doing it just to wind us up!

Back home Mr Brambles was the first into the food bowl and he was making up for not getting a Nibble. He went back to the bowl three times, making a right pig of himself!

Lunchtime OTL took us back down to The Beach again 'cos the tide was right in and he was hoping for some waves!

No chance! It was all sunny and just a hint of a breeze!

There was a Two Legs on The Sea Wall with a camera on a tripod taking pictures of the sea and using a 10x ND filter. Now this filter is so black that you have to leave the shutter on 'Open' for about thirty seconds and the result is those 'Misty, Creamy' looking water shots. Really you would need a bit more movement by the waves but it just wasn't happening today. Still, we took a picture of him taking a picture!

A TL with a 'Big Stopper Filter'!

We met up with a little woofer who just wanted to play chase with us. I was a little unsure 'cos she was yapping all the time!

Let's Play Chase!

Most off putting!

So, I turned around and gave her a 'Really Big Woof' which is our way of saying SHUT THE WOOF UP!

It worked!

Don't you want to play with me?

We had a little game, then decided that she was just too fast and noisy, so we left her to it!

When we got onto the beach OTL took a low down picture of the sea, just to see what it would look like if he was as tall as the ferrets!

A Ferret Eye View of the sea!

Holly and I went off digging holes and when OTL asked who had dug the big hole on the beach Holly denied all knowledge of it and said she was just 'Catching Some Rays' but I think there was something that gave her away!

Me Digging? No, not me!

I on the other paw didn't have an excuse, I said that I was looking for yellow filters, but I don't think it really worked!

I say, this looks like a filter, no, sorry, it's a stone!

 Mind you, I did have an excuse to go for a paddle, 'Just to wash the sand off!'

Me, just washing my bits!

Let's hope the sun stays around for tomorrow!

Bye, Bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Working at installing The Fridge!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

It has been a super sunny day here in North Kent, a little chilly first thing this morning, so that means the ferrets just poked their noses over the top of the Ferret Bag, then went back to sleep again!

I think we'll stay here thank you!

When Old Two Legs emptied them out of the bag they just stood there for a couple of minutes wondering where they were!

I don't know, I haven't got the map!

It wasn't long before Mr Brambles headed up the beach and Miss Snowflake headed for the sea weed!

Holly and I said 'Hello' to The Lads, Max, Oscar and Bryn then headed back to the car.

Snowflake had miss judged the sea weed and landed with her tail in the water!

Brambles kept telling he just how muddy it was!

You really need to get that tail to the cleaners!

Back home we all got prepared for the new fridge to be delivered, OTL moved all the furniture around and put the bins out in the garden.

Holly and I headed off to the bedroom so we can watch out for the delivery truck and to woof at the men for not being earlier!

Now OTL did something he doesn't normally do, He Read The Instructions!

Well, not exactly read, more like look at the pictures!

When he was looking for the fridge on the Internet, he read the 'Comments'  left by other people who had purchased one in the past. One Two Legs said that the installer took nearly fifty minutes to install the fridge and they thought it was rather a long time to install a fridge!

OTL took four hours!

He had just started to install it when Holly and I suggested we have a walk first, just to help him relax before going to work on the installation.

Down on the beach the tide had just turned and was heading out again. I fancied a swim but OTL said I couldn't 'cos he hadn't brought our towel with him today!

Go on, just a paddle?

To help get over my disappointment, I dug a really deep hole and said that I could see a Yellow Filter at the bottom!

OTL didn't think that was funny!

Guess Wot I See?

While OTL wasn't looking, I ran down the beach to the waters edge and sort of slipped into the water, just a little bit, up to my tummy!

Honest, the water chased me up the beach!

OTL didn't believe me!

As we got near to the car park, Holly and I rushed off to the Rabbit Hunting Ground and had a great time!

OTL called us to follow him but we were having too much fun! Finally, Holly ran off to find OTL but I stayed behind and in the end OTL had to come and fetch me.

I was in trouble!

You can tell when I'm in trouble, OTL puts the lead on me and I'm not allows to go and investigate any sniffs on the way to the car!

I'm in trouble!

Back home we found Auntie Angela had arrived to play Gas & Glitter!

OTL went to work and four hours later, after loads of 'Sarky' comments from The Missus and Angela, he finally finished it, just in time for dinner!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

OTL 'Engineers' the Door Off!

Hello Woofers!

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

Today is the day that Old Two Legs has to get the fridge out from the units in the kitchen and then he has to take the door off as well!

It has been worrying him 'cos as much as he has looked at the bits between the cover and the fridge door, he still can't work out how it comes off!

You know, he has even been on YouTube looking for information but what he has seen looks nothing like wot we got!

We were up early today and down the beach, the clouds looked rather dramatic but guess what? No Yellow Filter, so it is colour this time, just for Michael!

Could have done with a Yellow Filter this morning!

Miss Snowflake was in a good mood, she sort of 'Fell' out of the bag and was first into the Sea Weed. She said that she could sniff a 'Big Slimy Monster' under one rock but we think she was trying to wind Mr Brambles up 'cos he doesn't like the thought of Monsters under the rocks!

Guess Wot I Sniff?

After the beach it was back to the car as quickly as possible. Brambles said he was 'Starving' and was in need of some more doggy biscuits, providing there were any left after Holly and I had our fill last night!

Come on, before they get back and eat some more!

Back home there was some 'Manufacturing' to be done so OTL didn't have a chance to investigate the fridge door, but he did get down his tool kit and a couple of torches so he can peer into the void between the cover and the door!

Lunchtime came and of course, there we were down the beach again and guess wot?

Yep! He forgot it again! Only this time there were loads of fluffy clouds up in the sky that would have looked great by being seen through a Yellow Filter!

Another one for Michael!

Holly and I kept on asking if he had a filter with him and I was digging in the sand and saying that I had found a Yellow Filter, and then saying 'No, it's only the sand'!

Look! A Yellow Filter!

Next I pretended to bury the filter at the bottom of the hole I was digging.

OTL was 'Not Amused'!

I'll hide the filter here!

Holly said that while I was doing that, she would start working on her tan and 'Get a Few Rays' and would OTL think it would look good behind a Yellow Filter?

Do you think a Yellow Filter would improve my tan?

We didn't hang about too much 'cos OTL still needs to investigate the fridge door!

Holly and I had a look for rabbits from the table while OTL rubbed the sand off our back and off my nose!

I see no rabbits!

Holly was up on the table as well and was looking at the Rabbit Hunting Ground but didn't spot a thing!

Holly said that she would put up with a cat, just to get some exercise but there was nothing!

I'd even chase a cat!

Back home we gathered at the kitchen door to watch the fun.

First of all OTL took the 'Kick Board' out and spotted there was a pile of dust and crumbs underneath! It was obvious that the board hadn't been removed since the kitchen was put in!

Well, the fridge door came off at the hinges and then the fridge was removed and 'stored' in the garden.

Then the fun began. OTL brought the door into the lounge, sat down on a foot stood and set about twiddling screws and poking holes with a small screw driver!

Then he levered the door seal to one side and found a series of screws that if you 'Screwed them In' the door cover started to look like it was going to fall off!

So, by careful screwing and turning of the door they finally fell apart and OTL was left with four strange looking screws and some plastic 'Locking Cam Screws' (It's a technical description!)

So, clever OTL has got it all ready for tomorrow when the new fridge comes.

Now that's going to be fun watching him install that!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Hi Woofers!

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

Super sunny day today, just a little chilly this morning and for a change, neither of the ferrets wanted to get out of the bag before we got to the beach.

At one point, Mr Brambles stuck his head out the top of the bag and asked.................

..............are we there yet?

Once on the beach, Snowflake headed off to the sea weed and had a scamper about around the rocks then in and out of the the sea weed!

After which, she announced that....

....this will be fun in the Summer!

Mind you, Mr Brambles was still complaining about the steps, this time he thinks he has come up with a solution, a Stair Lift!

He reckons that if he wins the lottery, he is going to buy a mobile stair lift to carry him up the stairs instead of climbing up on his own.

Snowflake suggested trying to pull a flanker and pretend he has a sore paw so Old Two Legs feels sorry for him then picks him up and carries him up the stairs!

What I need is a Stair Lift!

Half way back towards the car, both ferrets had a roll in something in the weeds, it was so good that Brambles even rolled onto his back while Snowflake was trying to get her nose into the sniff in the leaves!

Get up Soppy!

Back home we were served up with a new 'Doggy Scoff', the one OTL bought at the Doggy Shop.

Can't say I'm over impressed with it, still, let's see what it's like this evening after it has had time to dry out a bit!

Lunchtime we got out of the car and ran into a gigantic 'Woofing Doodle Dog!'

It's owner had great difficulty in holding him back but OTL said the Doodle Dog wasn't dangerous 'cos all the time he was woofing at us, his tail was wagging!

Well, we could have told him that!

A Woofing Noisy Doodle Dog!

OTL wasn't too happy 'cos when he looked up into the sky, there were clouds that could have made a good picture in B&W but OTL just didn't have the Yellow Filter with him today!

Where is a Yellow Filter when you need one?

Holly and I didn't care really 'cos we both had fun digging a big hole in the sand. Holly said that if we made it deep enough, tomorrow when we come back it would have turned into a paddling pool!

We just LOVE holes!

 The only problem with sand holes is that you end up with sand everywhere. It gets up your nose, in your eyes and all over your back! Plus the stuff that sticks in between the pads on your paws!

Holly and I have a solution to that, we stand up on the bench and OTL gives us a good brush down so that all the sand falls off!

OK, all the sand has gone now!

Back home again and just in time for a snooze before 'Mugging Time'!

Tomorrow OTL has got to take the old fridge out, ready for the new one to arrive on Wednesday. It should be great fun 'cos he has got to work out how to get the door off and remove the front of it 'cos it matches the doors in the kitchen.

This is going to be fun 'cos he has no idea how to do it!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

St David's Day!

Shwmae Woofers!

Happy St David's Day!

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

We thought we would show off with our knowledge of the Welsh language seeing as we are heading down to South West Wales for our next holiday!

We know that 'I need to go for a walk' is 'dw i angen i fynd am dro!', That is a very important phrase!

There are many others, like, 'Not Doggy Scoff Again' or 'Wake up OTL!' but we are working on them!

Now, today, Sunday, it was sunny down on the Sea Front. While Old Two Legs was getting the ferrets sorted out we went for our normal sniff around the rubbish that has been left by the Two Legs, nothing terribly interesting!

Just the normal rubbish!

We met up with Barney 2, he's a Doodle Dog who gets so excited when he sees OTL and of course, because he gets like that he is never let off the lead!

Poor lad, he has got learn a bit of restraint or he'll never get let off the lead!

Bye Bye Barney!

It was getting near to High Tide, in about an hour it will be all the way in. All OTL needed was a bit of Dramatic Cloud and he would be a Happy Puppy, but it was an almost clear blue sky!

Maybe he should have fitted the Red Filter!

All we need is a few clouds!

Mr Bramble went off exploring amongst the sea weed and was having fun until he realised that the sea was coming in and he was going to get stuck on the rocks!

Gissa Lift OTL?

Back home we all had a game of 'Chase' around the house and the ferrets were doing what they normally do, Rampaging!

Of course, after a while we all find a place to snooze. Snowflake got under the baskets in The Missus's store room and fell asleep there until OTL managed to wake her up by squeezing her squeaky toy!

After a snooze it suddenly was Lunchtime, just in time for a walk!

We headed back to the Sea Wall 'cos at the weekend there are loads of  TL's down there playing on the beach and Holly and I just love to watch them!

There were a few TL's today and some woofers as well!

The first lot, dog walking and taking photos!

 Then when we got to the number nine steps, there were some more TL's and a noisy little woofer!

Do you Have to make So Much Noise?

 Holly and I got onto our favourite bit of the beach and dug a whopping big hole while OTL had a chat to a TL.

Of course, we just had to have a rest afterwards!

That was one big hole!

 Heading back to the car we came across a Bozo Labrador flaked out on the ground by the bench and seat. You know what? He didn't even get up for a sniff when we walked past!

Look, a Bozo!

We decided that he had been doing too much running about and was too tired to even say 'Hello'!

Unlike a little Jack Russel type who we had met before. He woofed and sniffed and woofed again then we all had a chat about sniffs on the path. We pointed out a couple of sniffs worth investigating up by the Poo Bin, then we were off to the car park.

.....and just behind the bin by the Fish & Chip Box.........

 Back home we had some Lambs Heart and finished it off with a snooze, well Holly was snoozing while I was playing on the computer researching some more Welsh phrases that may come in useful when we are away on holiday!

So, bye bye for now and see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
