A Day with Archie Babe!

Yo Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles and Archie Babe here!

Hasn't it been hot today!

When we got down to the beach first thing I was in for a dip as quick as a flash!

There's nothing like cooling off before breakfast!

I just Love Cool Bits!

 Straight after getting the ferrets back and their cage cleaned out we were off up to the village hall to pick Archie Babe up and back down to the beach again!

Now, I don't know why, but I thought that Archie loved water and getting wet and swimming, but it seems I was wrong, he is as excited about water as Holly is!

I don't do wet!

He wandered down to the waters edge and stopped! He just about got his paws wet and that was it, a quick retreat up the beach to where a crab was catching some rays!

I love getting a good tan!

No matter what I said, he wouldn't go in any further than his claws!

This is getting too deep for me!

I stopped trying to get him in for a swim and carried on playing 'Fetch The Bone' with Old Two Legs who had brought the rubber bone with him!

Nearly there!

I headed back to shore to find a big Husky type of woofer who was standing in the water, shaking!

'Hi!' I called over to him and asked if he wants to play 'Fetch The Bone' with me.

'No blooming fear' he says, 'I'm not going in any further, I hate the water!'

No further for e!

It seems he has to go in to where his paws are covered with water, just to please his owner who reckons that all Husky Types should love water!

I reckon that Husky would love it further up the beach!

Back home we all had some chicken and Archie shared ours and the woofed down a bowl of his Dry Biscuits and then pinched a Jumbone Chew!

That woofer sure knows how to eat!

We all enjoyed a snooze and I even let Archie Babe climb up on OTL's lap for a cuddle and a snooze!

A bit later on in the afternoon we headed back to the Sea Wall but the tide had gone out, so no swimming, just a wander along saying 'Hello' to the Two Legs and seeing if they had anything worth mugging!

A Stroke? No Way if there is nothing to eat!

Archie showed us his 'New Freiend' trick to get some food. Trouble was, he didn't check beforehand to see if there was any food to be mugged!

See, he thinks I'm his new mate!

I had to go over and tell Archie that there was no food!

Archie, he's got no food, so, No Strokes!

 We went back to sniffing the sniffs and looking for rabbits but it was too hot for them to come out for a game.

You two are dead lucky to have so many sniffs on your walk!

 Unfortunately, it was soon time for Archie Babe to head back home 'cos his Missus had finished slapping the glue and glitter around and she wanted to head home. Still, we had a great day and we are looking forward to Archie's next visit!

OTL is off tomorrow on his own to the Kent County Show to take some more pictures of the animals and TL's and maybe a visit to the ferret stand!

I wonder, will he come back with a commitment to see if Brambles and Snowflake get on with the two little Jill's?

I wonder!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Wot a day we have had!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Wot a super day we have had today, loads of fun and some decisions to make!

Let me tell you what has happened!

It started off this morning when we went for our walk on the beach. First of all I went in for a little paddle, well, it was getting warm and I just felt I needed a paddle, just to cool off my bits!

I got hot bits!

Before we knew wot was happening we got a couple of Bull Dogs turn up on the Sea Wall who were very interested in the ferrets!

The first one looked over the edge and said......................

'Hush My Tail! Wot are they?'

Of course. Snowflake, who just doesn't like rude woofers, said, ' We iz Ferrets you pile of Woofer!'

She didn't realise that there was another Bull Dog Woofer who hadn't arrived at the Sea Wall  yet but said........................

Can we have them for breakfast with some Brown Sauce?

Of course, Old Two Legs gave them both a stroke and they almost forgot about the ferrets!

Back home to clear out the ferret house and get them ready for a days snoozing then we were off to the Kent County Show!

First stop was to watch the bird show. There was an Eagle Owl and some Vultures  and a Gyr Falcon that OTL said was Wow!

Gyr Falcon!

 Alun fell in love with a Ford Mustang and insisted that OTL take his picture before he tried to get the salesman to let him buy it on the 'Never Never' out of his pension!

Alun's new car?

 You know it was so embarrassing when he got thrown off the stand!

Poor Alun!

Holly and I found that there were loads of stalls had doggy bowls full of water outside their stalls for us woofers!

We could do with some ice cubes in this one!

 Lunchtime we were in the Members Enclosure having some food and a rest in the shade.

This is the life!

All of a sudden there was this almighty roar as the Red Arrows went tearing over the show ground!

Noisy Jets!

I mean, just as we were getting restful and having a snooze, over they cam again, and again, and again, Gawd Wot a noise!

Why don't they just Woof Off!

OTL offered his lens to Glynis to have a try on her camera and while she was doing some 'Test Shots' he sneaked a picture or two of her!

Don't they look big!

I mean they kept swapping lenses and talking technical!

Boring or Wot!

 It got all funny when Alun decided that he wanted a hat to keep the sun off his bald patch, just like OTL!

Unfortunately there was no mirror on the stand, so OTL had to take a picture of him, just to let him see wot he looked like!

Who's a Plonker then?

 We called into the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue stand and there were two little lady ferrets that kept calling OTL Daddy!

OTL is a sucker for little ferrets with a sweet smile and those ferrets were smiling at him and licking his finger and pulling every trick in the book!

OTL says 'No' but as we left the stand we heard them call out 'Bye Bye Daddy'!

It's called Ferret Maths!

Wot Snowflake will say I have no idea but you can be sure she will sniff ferrets on OTL's finger!

Let's see what happens!

We are off to bed now 'cos it's been a long day and we got to be up early 'cos Archie Babe is coming to spend the day with us and Holly and I have sorted out some seriously good sniffs for him!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

We missed out on Rabbits but still had fun!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a mix up day it has been today. It started with Old Two Legs getting up earlier than normal 'cos he wanted to get a rush order packed and ready to send first thing.

We were down on the beach but the tide was right in and Miss Snowflake was in need of a wee, but she wouldn't move further up the beach, and so, she got a wet tail!

Wet Tail and a Wet Butt!

We had to chase some gulls off the beach before we had our game of 'Chase'!

Gerroffourbeach!

OTL and Alun went off to the carrier and then off to a Wild Life place where dogs are not allowed!

We had to make do with The Missus and Glynis taking us out and we found a Cinnabar Moth, the first this year!

Cinnabar Moth!

 Mind you, it was rather hot!

Too hot for me!

 OTL and Alun had a long walk around the park and OTL took some pictures of birds he saw, first was this Black Headed Gull who's had the black fading on his head!

I am changing OK?

 There were loads of Ducks paddling around looking for food.

Hello Duckie!

 One time they spotted a grey Heron but as soon as it saw the camera it ran away!

No Pictures!

 When they got back home they had a big bag full of Chinese Food! There were Plawn Balls and Plawn Clackers and Chicken and Rice and Noodles and other stuff!

We did some serious mugging I tell you!

We're off to the Kent County Show tomorrow!

See you tomorrow with some good pictures!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Good Muggings Tonight!

Hi Woofers!

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

Another early start today, Old Two Legs had stuff to do and The Missus has been running around clearing up before Alun & Glynis arrive, (around midday)!

First thing we met was young Dave the Westie, he was so pleased to see us and kept on running around in circles and then up to OTL to have a tickle. The way he behaves you'd think he never got to see anyone from day to day!

Chase Me!

It was fun watching him run from us to OTL and then from OTL to us and back again!

Now I want a Tickle!

OTL was looking for Dragon Fly's but there were none to see, so he took pictures of the Wild Sweet Pea Plants instead, mind you, they look very pretty, I think it is the colour of the flower that does it!

Sweet Pea?

 Back home we got served up Doggy Scoff! Not what we really wanted but I suppose we will have make up for it tonight. We have spotted Shortbread and crisps and nibbles and biscuits and Holly even saw some Twiglets!

We were just heading out for our afternoon walk when Alun & Glynis arrived, so it was a quick run around the Sea Wall and back home as fast as our legs would go. Well, it was the dark clouds that were acting like they wanted to rain on us, plus the thought of all those nibbles in containers on the coffee table that did it!

Rain Clouds?

 Mind you, we did stop for a breather, just so OTL could get his breath back after chasing us all along the Sea Wall!

Come on, you must be rested by now!

 Back home it was every woofer for her self! Loads of nibbles and I even got a couple of Twiglets as well.

Now, Holly and I are planning this evenings muggings, cheese on biscuits followed by shortbread and a carrot and followed by a teeth cleaning chew!

We know how to live!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

It's an Installation Day!

Yo Woofers!

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

It has been a fun day! Remember I said that the telephone man was coming to install a Fibre Cable line to us so we can catch up with the rest of civilisation?

Well, this morning at eight fifteen the man came a knocking on our door. It was The Missus that had to show him where all the telephone line ran all over the house. She knew 'cos she had to move loads of her craft stuff just so he could see the cable!

Her 'Work Station' had to be moved and then there was the store room with loads of plastic boxes of paper and card and stamps and dies and stencils and paint and inks and, well it goes on and on!

Old Two Legs and us Woofers headed for the beach!

Miss Snowflake went looking for Crabs and Slimy Things but couldn't find a thing!

Come on out, I know you're there somewhere!

 When she got fed up she started to dig a hole in the sand, just to show Mr Brambles she was just as good as him!

Hey! Bumbles! Have a look at this hole!

Mr Brambles wasn't interested in looking at holes 'cos he and I had found a really stinky sniff and he was trying to get me to let him have a roll first!

Come on, let me go first!

 The only problem was that OTL saw us and shoos us away from the sniff, so no one got a roll!

Mind you, both ferrets made up for it when they got to the grass path!

Will you stop tickling me!

 Back home the telephone man was working well and it wasn't too long before there were flashing light son the two modems. It seems you need a modem to talk to the Fibre data and then another to talk to the computer, or something like that!

In the end the lights were going potty and OTL was bragging about the speed over what it was before.

That got us to lunchtime when we were down the beach again and the first thing we saw was the tide was well out of sight!

Mind you, that didn't stop the fishermen from taking up their places ready for when the water comes back in!

Well it's going to be ages before the water come back!

A bit further on there were some more getting ready for when the water comes back! I went along to see what was going on but Holly stayed up on the Sea Wall but she did call down..............

Remember, no food, No Strokes!

 OTL was going along looking at almost every flower searching for bugs and other insects.

He came across a couple of Soldier Beetles making the most of the sun shine!

I just Love Spring!

 OTL said that they were 'Making Beetles' but we couldn't see any small ones anywhere!

There were some dark clouds on the horizon this afternoon, looking like there will be some rain to cool things down a bit.

We are keeping our claws crossed for Friday 'cos we will be off to the Kent County Show with Alun and Glynis who are coming over for a few days.

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

It's 'Sort Out Day'!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

It was cooler last night, just right for sleeping!

Mind you, that didn't stop The Missus from getting up early to start working on another 'Inspiration'!

Old Two Legs was up early as well, he just can't sleep after TM has started to crash about and Holly and I start licking his ears!

Down on the beach Holly was talking about spending all morning catching the rays! 

Yeah, I could do this!

 Mind you, the ferrets said that there was no way they were staying 'cos there was some ferret food and Ferretone waiting at home, plus, some of out doggy biscuits!

We're off!

 Half way up the grass path OTL stopped to photograph this Skipper butterfly, trouble is, we are not sure which one it is but we are betting it is an Essex Skipper!

An Essex Skipper?

Lunchtime I was getting all excited about going down the beach again 'cos I wanted another swim.

When we got down there I was most disappointed, the tide was still out!

OTL said it was 'cos I got down there too early!

I mean, no water and no fishermen!

No Fisherman!

 OTL pointed out that here were some strange looking clouds, but Holly and I were more interested in what the fisherman had left in his bag!

Strange Clouds!

 We were having a slow walk and we even stopped at a bench for a rest when one of our woofer mates passed by and said it was just too hot for her!

Too Hot for Me!

 We know what she means!

Back home OTL and TM were shifting stuff so that the telephone man can install a new line called Fibre Optic which is supposed to give us faster broadband!

Does that mean it will be quicker to type this blog?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Another Soggy Doggy Day!

Hello Woofers!

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

It has been warm again today, however, the sun was sort of missing this morning. Loads of dark clouds with rainy stuff getting ready to land on Old Two Legs!

Rains coming!

 Mind you, it didn't stop Snowflake from having a hunt for monsters under the rocks!

Come on out, I know you are under there!

 Mind you, when she was looking in the rock pools she came across a big Rock Pool Crab that looked like it could give her a nasty nip!

In fact there are two!

 It wasn't long before the rain started and we just made it back to the car before the rain came down!

By lunch time it had got sunnier and OTL was there watching the F1 racing. Of course, just as it was getting interesting, I started to talk to him!

Now, to you Two Legs, I must sound a bit like 'Yarm, Yum, Arum, Yum' which, to OTL means, 'I want to go out for a walk'!

OTL is good really 'cos up he gets and off we go for our walk!

Of course, I was in for a swim while Holly went in search of shade!

There were loads of fishermen throwing worms into the sea but there were no fish being caught!

Too many fishermen!

 While I was in swimming, OTL came across a snail jogging along the Sea Wall and telling OTL to get out of the way 'cos a snail was coming through!

London Marathon next?

 Mmm! Racing Snails? Well, you have got to have a hobby and I suppose a snail who is into jogging is OK by me!

The sun was super and although it was hot, it wasn't hot enough to dry me off before we got back to the car.

A Soggy Doggy!

 OTL was lucky 'cos The Missus had recorded the F! race and he was able to catch up with the race!

So, off we go and OTL has just got the shortbread out, so it's Mugging Time!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
