A Brilliant Day With Mates!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

What a super day it's been!

We were up really early today so Old Two Legs could get The Missus up the village hall ready for her 'Master Class'.

We helped her put the tables out and then headed off to walk with the ferrets down on the beach.

Down on the mud was a lone Wormy Man digging for all his worth!

Come out Wormy Wormy!
Both ferrets had a run around and Snowflake was playing Hide n Seek in the Sea Weed!

Can't see me!
We got back home and while we were having our breakfast, OTL did the Poo Pots and the ferrets had a 'Rampage' around the house before going back to bed for a snooze!

Pretty soon we were off back to the hall to meet up with Archie Babe and Maizey.

Archie was there waiting for us and we all said hello with a sniff and then he had a cuddle with OTL and a lick on his nose!

Pretty soon Maizey arrived and we all had chat while OTL was loading up the car!

Then we were off, back down to the beach where we started off by sharing our 'Start Sniff'!

OK Woofers, this is the first one!
 Maizey was interested in a small sniff by the rubbish bin and I must say, I missed it this morning when I cam past!

Mmm! A delicate little sniff!
 Down the path a bit we showed them the 'Long Sniff'!

This is a sniff that I reckon four woofers could sniff at the same time without rubbing shoulders!

We call this  The Long Sniff!
Down on the beach we introduced Maizey and Archie to the Rope Thingy that is still hanging around on our beach, Archie did a wee over it, just to show his disgust at the Ropey Things refusal to clear off!

Clear Off!
Off the beach there were loads more sniffs and Maizey said that we were so lucky to live near a place that had so many wonderful sniffs!

These are really wonderful sniffs!
 Half way up the path Maizey found our 'Stand By Sniff' which we save for our special visitors!

Yeah, this is the 'Special'!
 Back home we all had some food and then had a snooze. I headed up to my favourite spot on the bed while Holly crashed out on the sofa.

Maizey was feeling a little lost, so OTL picked her up and she cuddled up to his legs while Archie Babe sprawled out over OTL's lap and fell asleep!

We woke up after an hour or so and after a nibble and a drink we woofed at OTL 'Walkies'!

Down on the beach again Maizey and Archie spent some time investigating the shore line and the sea weed sniffs

Hey Maizey, what about this one?
Archie was having a great time with the sea weed sniffs! He says that he doesn't get any sea weed where he lives and none of the water was salty like wot we got!

These are terrific sniffs girls!
While Archie was into the sea weed, I started to dig a hole, just for fun! Maizey asked if she could have a go?

My Hole!
Then she wiggled he tail, stepped into the hole and had a wee!

A Girls gotta do what a Girls Gotta Do!
 Archie came back up the beach and had a little sniff around the hole!

Have I got sand on my chops?
 Archie was investigating everything along the beach and was fascinated with the breakwaters!

Hey! Look at that!
 Then he found a 'Beach Sniff' and couldn't resist a little roll!

Oh Yes! I'm going to take this one home with me!
 We got back home and OTL let us all out into the garden. Now, Archie Babe is an expert regarding frogs and we asked him if he would inspect our pond and see if there were any frogs around!

First he had a look where OTL had put the Frog Spawn!
 'Mmm', he said, I can't see any signs here but they may have moved away! Then he went around the corner and inspected the shallow end.

Nothing here girls!
Finally, he had a good look under where the clothes line is and, nothing, not even a tadpole!

Plenty of snails and beetles and little wriggly things but not a frog to be seen!

Sorry Girls, your Frogless!
It wasn't long before OTL had to take Maizey and Archie back up the hall, so we all said good bye and promised to meet up again soon!

Now we are off for a snooze, it's been an exciting day and we are just too tired to mug OTL!

Bye for now,

Luv

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Getting ready for our Friends!

Hello Woofers!

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

It's the last day of working for Old Two Legs and he has been running around like a Blue Tailed Fly!

We went out for our morning stroll this morning and the tide was right out. That means the ferrets go for a good rummage around in the sea weed looking for monsters and the such!

This is getting squelchy!
Of course, Holly and I got a bit bored waiting for them to come off the beach and even Holly was thinking about having a snooze while she was waiting!

Oh! Come On!
Up on the grass path Holly was talking with Brambles about the different styles of dancing. Holly is into dancing and asked if Brambles knew any other types of dance.

'Of course'! he says, then launches himself into a 'Ferret Break Dance'!

Mr Brambles doing a Break Dance!
He was getting really steamed up, leaping about a spinning around on his back, and singing at the same time!

Then he started to 'Bang The Drums' with his front paws and making a drum sound with his mouth!

Well, we think it was his mouth!


Getting on Down!
Then, we heard a woof from back down the path and young Dave the Westie came running to catch us up!

Dave and us having a game!
We all had a good game of 'Chase the Woofer' until he was called away.

He told us of some sniffs down the path that we are going to save for Archie and Maizey when they get here tomorrow!

Holly is getting excited about meeting Archie Babe again and getting some pointers of hunting frogs, we still haven't seen a frog or a tadpole anywhere in the pond, just snails and diving beetles!

OTL has been out most of this afternoon but he came back and started to pack all our stuff ready for our holiday!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

I got a Big Splosh as Well!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Wot a super sunny day! Except for the wind, but we don't mind that too much providing there is some sun!

The ferrets were having great fun on the beach, chasing each other around and then they even tried to chase me!

It started off with Snowflake chasing Brambles.

Sneaky Sneaky, catch a Ferret!
 It was lucky that Brambles saw her coming!

In yer Dreams Snowy!
Well Mr Brambles didn't let her get too close but he let her do the chasing, he was in a right mood for a game!

Then he spotted me!

Touch my tail Bumbles and your History!
 Of course, I didn't let him get too close, I know he has strong teeth!

I did laugh when he said he could dance, not Line Dancing like wot Holly and I do but what he calls 'The Ferret Shuffle'!

Just to prove it, he gave a quick demonstration, to be honest, it looked like 'Conga'!

Do, Do, Do the Ferret Shuffle, Kick!
Both ferrets enjoyed a long Ferret through the long grass and Holly and I did some digging after what I think was a mouse!

I had earth all over my chops!

Lunchtime Old Two Legs had to do some deliveries and as promised, we went for a walk in the Riverside Park.

First of all we met up with a Westie we had met before and we had a three way sniff and she told us about some sniffs on the path!

There's a good one at the fork in the path!
Off we went and I noticed that the tide was right in, in fact it couldn't get any further in without flooding everything!

So, what am I going to do?

Well, this new stuff OTL has put onto our backs to keep the Ticks away, it sort of 'Itches' and it is driving me potty! So, what better than a dip, in fact a big dip, a really big Splosh!

I was in before OTL could say no!

Ooooo, that's Better!
Now Holly has been suffering as well, but not as much as me, but even she decided to have a dip. Let's face it, Holly's idea of a dip is a bit like wot I would call a paddle!

No, this is deep enough for me!
 While I was Sploshing away, OTL decided to try a Yellow Filter Free Photo and he planned to work on it when he got home.

Now even we reckon it's not too bad!

Clouds, a Wreck and a Power Station, all in one shot!
 Down the end of Horrid Hill, Holly and I had a run around to get dry while OTL tried to photograph us charging about.

Do we look like sisters or wot?
 A great time was had and we even saw a rabbit on the way back but it was too far away for us to catch and anyway, it was just too hot to chase it!

So, off we go to see what is worth mugging tonight and any more suggestion about turning us into 'Pack Animals' will get you a visit from the Ferrets and us!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Another day of ever decreasing circles, and I get really 'Pongy'!

Hi Woofers!

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

Did we have some fun this morning!

We all went down stairs when Old Two Legs called us for our walk, the ferrets jumped into their cage and Holly and I expected our lead to be clipped on.

But no! OTL was there with our rain coats!

Now, as soon as Holly and I see that, we sort of 'Back Off' 'cos we just don't like the rain and Rain Coats normally mean rain, loads of it!

When we stepped out the front door there was hardly any rain at all, 'Goody Goddy' says Holly and heads for the car.

As we get closer to the car park, the rain drops get bigger and more of them as well but when we got to the car park, no rain!

Off we go, chasing a rabbit or two and sniffing the sniffs all along the path until we got to the beach where both ferrets jumped out of the bag and began to 'Ferret About' !

The Long Legs was still over in Sheerness and looked rather impressive in the morning light, well, that was until the rain clouds rushed across the River Medway and rained on Sheerness!

Who is for a quick wash?
Then it happened, the heavens opened up and down came the rain, onto us! There was loads of rain and some strong wind as well which blew us all the way back to the car.

We got soaked and so did the ferrets and so did OTL!

The weather was terrible and OTL managed to get a shot of it as it chased us all the way back!

Terrible Stormy Weather!
Back at the car, the ferrets got a rub down first and then popped back into their travelling cage.

Next it was Holly and my turn to get a rub down. However, by the time we had all got dried off, the towel was as wet as OTL!

So, he didn't get a rub down, he had to wait until he got home and changed his clothes!

Lunchtime it wasn't much better, there was still rain splashing about but we managed to get a quick walk along The Sea Wall.

OTL was mumbling about not bringing the Yellow Filter out with him to photograph the clouds!

Where's a Yellow Filter when you need one?
While he was looking up into the clouds, I found a sniff, a Super Sniff', a big soggy sniffy Pongy type of sniff that almost blew my tail off!

So, what did I do?

Yep!

I had a roll, a really good roll, a roll that went from my left back leg, over my back and down my right leg!

It was super!

OTL spotted me and tried to tell me off and called me a Pongy Puppy!

Did I care?

No!

Well, not until we got home and I got washed by The Missus who just kept on about how Pongy I was, as if there was something wrong with that!

OTL headed off out on his own to do deliveries and a bit of shopping for the holiday.

He came back with a new pump for the water in the caravan and some pegs to hold down the awning and some blue stuff to put down the loo and some gas for the cooker and a pretty blue rubber football to go over the ball hitch on the car!

Then there was a couple of other bags that were far more interesting!

We could sniff chicken fillets and chews and cat litter (for the ferrets poo tray), and there were some teeth cleaning chews!

Yum Yum!

Holly says that she is going to try for a chew tonight, just to get us in the 'Holiday Mood'!

OTL has been playing with the photo of the clouds and changed it all around to make it look like a Yellow Filter job!

A big dollop of Photoshop and it's getting close!
So, that's it today, OTL has never had so many phone calls in one week, do you think that his customers know he is going on holiday and are panicking in case they haven't got all their stuff?

Tomorrow, we expect to go down to the Riverside Park 'cos there are some final bits to be delivered!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Getting to the last few jobs, we think!

Hello Woofers!

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

Another busy day today. Out good and early for our morning stroll along the beach.

That Ropey Thing was nowhere to be seen, but it may come back, you never can tell with those rope things!

Looking over to Sheerness we saw a boat with very long legs! Old Two Legs said that they put those legs down onto the sea bed when they are doing work like installing the wind powered electricity generators.

He couldn't say for certain, but he thinks he may have done some work on that one a few years ago!

Long Legs!
Both ferrets were in a good mood and Miss Snowflake had a go at climbing up the Sea Wall, until it got too high, then she fell down onto Mr Brambles!

Shall I give you a shove dear?
We met up with Butch, and Holly really fancies him rotten! She goes bounding up to him and starts acting like a Real Tart!

She winds him up rotten and she also knows he is not allowed off his lead, which makes it even more fun for her!

Holly being a Teasy Tart!
OTL was off down to the carriers with a load of stuff then off again to his customer where OTL was doing some modifications to stuff he delivered a few days ago.

Unfortunately, we couldn't go with him 'cos they don't allow dogs in there, unless they are a Guide Dog, like wot we 'aint!

The Missus gave us a walk at lunch time but she didn't take her camera, so you can't see pictures of us chasing a dozen rabbits and two Nargles!

OTL's back now, so all is well and we plan to do some mugging tonight!

It seems that TM has been getting a load of requests, on Face Ache, for OTL to do some Doggy Sitting, but the doggy is a Whacking Great Rottweiler that thinks if Holly and me as a 'Tasty Morsel'!

Yeah, in your dreams!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

He Left Us!

Hi Woofers!

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

We were up early this morning 'cos Old Two Legs has planned to go out to Dungeness RSPB Site.

So we caught the early sun over the River Medway, it certainly looks like it's going to be a good day!

Sun over The Medway!
 Miss Snowflake was in a good mood and played 'Hide and Seek' with OTL and any one else who would take notice of her!

Bet ya can't see me!
 We did have a laugh when our mate the Beetle came scurrying past and without stopping called out 'Morning Snowflake' can't stop too busy!' and she was supposed to be hiding!

Too Busy, Too Busy!
Back home Ian and The Cat Woman had arrived and OTL had to hurry up and get the ferrets sorted and back in their house fully fed and tired out!

Then Ian and OTL packed up their stuff and headed off to Dungeness without us! OTL had already told us that the RSPB were 'Anti Dog' and didn't want us woofers running around upsetting the birdies!

OTL took his big lens and although there were not many birds to photograph, there were some doing silly things!

This Common Tern was trying to call out to his mate not to try to land on his perch 'cos they would both fall off!

Go On, Clear Off!
His mate landed on the post next to him, by the way, OTL has been playing with the Photoshop buttons again!

This is My Post!
OTL said he was watching the Terns when three swans passed by, eating the stuff they eat, when, with a sound like Wet Thunder, a big male swan came crashing towards the other swans from behind and chased them away!

Get Outta My Pond!
 He chased them half way across the water shouting at them all to clear off!

Then, having got rid of them he came steaming back and asked.........

OK, Who is Next?
And they were worried about little woofers upsetting the birds? I reckon the birds do a very good job of upsetting each other, never mind us woofers!

They arrived back late this afternoon and after showing some of the pictures OTL headed off to the office to get prepared for tomorrow, more work!

Looks like the run down towards the holiday now!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Still Working!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, today Old Two Legs was planning to sneak off to do some bird watching but first thing this morning, it was raining and there was a load more rain getting too close!

So, instead of having a day out on his own, he spent the whole day with us!

Lucky Lad!

First thing this morning we got our coats on and headed for the beach, guess what we saw?

Oi! Wot are you doing back on our beach?
It's back!

It wouldn't say where it had been but we told it that it really should move on and not clutter our beach!

If we see you on our beach we will disassemble you, OK?
The ferrets wouldn't leave it alone and they both gave it the 'Ferrets Warning'!

We didn't hang about for too long 'cos it was raining and we didn't want to get too wet. Mind you, the ferrets were having fun in the wet grass and when they got back to the car OTL had to give them a good rub down with our towel!

Lunchtime it had stopped raining but there was still a bit of wind but the temperature wasn't too cold!

I decided to do a run along the bottom of the sea wall and dodge the waves!

I wasn't in too much danger 'cos the waves were just lapping at the wall and not splashing as they do sometimes!

Can't Catch Me!
 Along the grass path Holly found a really good sniff and said that she really fancied a roll in it but as OTL was watching and very close, she tried to get me to do a roll!

As if!

You roll if you want to, this girls not for rolling!
Mind you, we will keep an nose on the sniff 'cos we got Archie Babe and Maisie visiting next weekend so we got to keep some 'Good Sniff' for them!

Back home OTL was still working but as of six thirty this evening, he has just one more to do before Tuesday morning, then, with a bit of luck, it will be a slow run down until next weekend and Holidays!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Saturday and He is Still Working!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

I thought that this weekend was a Bank Holiday Weekend, you know, sit down, have a snooze, paws up and loads of nibbles!

Not as far as Old Two Legs is concerned!

He has been 'Manufacturing' and then pounding away on the computer doing some sort of list for one his customers.

Next thing we knew, we was off to pick up the caravan from the people who service it for us!

Now, that was fun 'cos we stayed in the big car while OTL went in and paid for the service, got a couple of new bottles of gas and a spanner to connect the pipes to the bottle!

That was loads of fun 'cos we were woofing at the people who were wandering about looking at the new caravans and then we were woofing at the Caravan Engineers who were wandering about doing things to the caravans!

It was good to drive back home with the caravan on the back of the car, it sort of felt like we were almost on holiday!

Still, only a week or so and then we're off for real!

We saw Bailey this morning and he said he wished he could go on holiday but it's an effort getting around the beach with his arthritis!


Yep! Off Home Now, but Slowly!
 Down on the beach Snowflake was having fun trying to get back into the ferret bag and having seen Holly do it, she did what she called the Ferret Commando Creep!

Commando Creep!
 Then she made a rush for the bag but OTL spotted her and she ended up on the beach again!

Curses! I've been spotted!
 Mr Brambles was having fun running along the Sea Wall and a couple of times he went right up the wall and rolled over!

It's The Wall of Death Run!
 The grass path was full of sniffs and because they didn't come out yesterday, they were catching up on the sniffs, ours as well!

Not Bad, Not Bad at all!
 Back home it was all rush and tear around and then down to the caravan and back again.

During the lunchtime walk Holly discovered a Whelk that had obviously lost it's way!

Oi! The sea is that way!
 Mind you, there was nothing inside the shell so we reckon that the Whelk has gone on holiday!

Although the tide was in, it was too cold for a swim so all we did was to look at the sea splashing onto the shore!

Splashy Splashy!
We were waiting at home, up at the bedroom window, waiting for The Missus to come back from her Master Class.

After a good 'Welcome Back' we settled down to some serious mugging!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
