I Woz Robbed!

Hi Woofers!

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

Another day of fun and frolics!

The Macro lens was still on the camera, so it was long shots and insects again!

There was a couple of shots that Old Two Legs took that weren't too bad.

First Mr Brambles was tearing up the beach to have a roll in the dry sea weed.


Hears Brambles!
We met up with some of the lads and had what OTL calls a Woofers Convention! There was Max and Oscar, then young Bryn and Little Holly, not our Holly, just a visitor on holiday, and then there was Holly and me!

A Gang Sniff!
Of course, OTL was hunting insects and came across these flies who sat still long enough to be photographed. Pity the wind didn't drop and stop blowing the flowers about!

Flesh Fly
 This Bluebottle was showing off it's shiny back!


It's Bluebottle!
Then there was this one that OTL thinks is a House Fly, so what it was doing on the flowers on the grass path is any ones guess!

House Fly?
Lunchtime was great 'cos that means the tide was in and I was swimming!

I was swimming after the stick but I got distracted by a big woofer who was swimming out to chase my stick!

I did a crafty one on him 'cos I turned around and headed back to OTL and left the stick in the water!

Then the cheeky Bozo asked me where I kept my stick 'cos he couldn't see it in my mouth!

'Ere! Where do you keep yer stick?
That was him sorted but I lost the stick 'cos it floated away on the tide!

OTL says he will keep his eyes open for another one!

We were hunting rabbits and OTL spotted a very small bee like thing that could have been a fly in disguise. He was chomping away on the nectar and going Yum, Yum, Yum!

Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum
Not too sure what is for dinner tonight but I know that Holly and I have Doggy Scoff!

So, off we go and see what we can mug off OTL, nibbles, cookies, carrots or even a Chicken Fillet!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Holly Scores!

Hi Woofers!

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

It has been a super day today, sunshine from start to finish!

On the beach both ferrets were diving in and out of the sea weed. Old Two Legs had brought his Macro Lens with him today, so, close up shots of small things, or, bigger things further away!

So that mean the ferrets get to wee without OTL clicking away in their face!

So, what did he do?

He took pictures of Holly and I fighting over possession of a hole we were digging!

No, this is My Hole!
Then we heard a woofing from on top of The Sea Wall, it was Dave!

Yo Girls! How's it hanging?
Holly looked up and told Dave that we were Girls and we don't 'Hang' like wot he does! Then we all had a good laugh and he went to OTL for his stroke and tickle!

While we were sniffing, OTL was clicking away at the insects he spotted on the plants.


Skipper?
Then he spotted this one, a Silver Studded Blue, well that's what he says it is!


Silver Studded Blue
Then it was of home for a bowl of Lambs Heart and a snooze while OTL was 'Manufacturing'.

Lunchtime we headed down to the beach again and Holly met up with a family of Two Legs who were  eating lunch!

OTL told them that Holly works on the strict rule of 'No Food, No Strokes' but she let the Mini TL a 'Sample Stroke'!

OTL wandered off to play 'Chase' with me but Holly stayed there,wandering around and sniffing!

OTL looked around and called Holly but what did he see?

Holly dog was chomping away on a sausage that the TL had left on his plate!

OTL thought Holly had pinched it but Holly promised him it was given to her in exchange for a stroke!

You had better have some food!
OTL was having fun creeping up on the insects and trying to get a shot, even though the wind was blowing the flower head all over the place!

Six Spot Burnet.
Then he found another!


Another Six Spot Burnet!
Holly and were busy on the beach and OTL came out of the undergrowth with a stick!

That was it, I was in the water swimming out to where OTL had thrown the stick. Holly was running up and down the beach getting ready to rob me of the stick when I got close to the shore!

Come to Mummy!
What was fun was Holly splashing about trying take the stick off me but I hung on and Holy ended up with wet paws!

Give me the Stick!
OTL was telling me to go back into the water but Holly was digging her claws in and refused to move!

It was only when she realised that she was wet did she let go!

'ere! I'm wet!
That was it, OTL picked the stick up and hid it in the undergrowth for next time!

Back home to get dry and have a snooze before dinner.

More mugging!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

A quiet day for everyone today!

Hi Woofers!

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

It makes a change to see the sun again, even if it is behind the clouds!

Still, it didn't spoil our walk this morning and Holly met up with that

Bedlington Terrier she loves teasing!


Look, I don't have a lead on me!
 I told her that she was a Tart and she shouldn't wind up other woofers like that!

Do I care I'm a Tart, Do I look like I care?
 Down on the beach Miss Snowflake was all excited 'cos she managed to find her Wee'ing Rock!

There's only room for one!
 Brambles did the 'Jumping over Old Two Legs' trick!


I can run around his hat as well!
Holly and I had a game of 'Chase' up and down the beach while we were waiting for the ferrets to finish digging holes!

Up on the Grass Path, Holly and I were waiting for the ferrets to arrive. Mr Brambles crept up on me and asked me if I was worn out!

Has the running made you tired?
 I told him to 'woof off' 'cos I could run faster than him and longer any day!

He wander off to have a sniff, Snowflake arrived and we had a chat about some ferret type sniffs that we had both found on the beach. She reckons that they were really a Stoat or maybe a Weasel.

I said it might have been a Rat but agreed the sniff was more like Stoat!

Yeah, I reckon Stoat as well!
Back home we got a bowl full of chicken which went down a treat, all warm and greasy!

The ferrets didn't have too long to rampage around 'cos the man from the Heating Company was due to visit and sort out a leak OTL had found on one of the pipe joints.

We were locked in the bedroom as a precaution in case he had any sarnies with him. OTL said if he had any food, we wouldn't leave him along to get on with his work!

As if!

Lunchtime we were out again, and of course, OTL is after insects, especially a Flesh Fly, 'cos the last shot was a little out of focus!

Guess what?

We didn't see a single Flesh Fly, however, we did see a Black Butt Woofing Wonder Bumble Bee.....Me!

Well that's what Holly called me!

Black Butt? Me?
We spotted a Blue Bottle Fly but it wouldn't stay still to have its picture taken and the wind didn't help either!

Blue Bottle with the fidgets!
There was a Buff Tailed Bumble Bee buzzing away and working hard collecting all the nectar.


Can't stop, I'm behind schedule!
 We left him to carry on and on the next bunch of flowers, there was a Red Tailed Bumble Bee!

I don't know what it is with Bumble Bees but they always seem too busy to stop for a chat.

Work, Work, Work, it never stops!
We left them to it and headed home, back to my cushion and a couple of teeth cleaning chews I hid underneath the cushion!

Not too sure what is for dinner tonight, OTL's dinner I mean, but we had chicken so I'm not expecting anything too exciting, unless OTL has Steak & Chips!

In his dreams!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Getting Snowy Towers Redesigned!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Today has been a good day, no rain, well not much!

In fact although the wind has been blowing, it wasn't cold. Mind you, when the ferrets climbed back into Old Two Legs arms after having a quick wee, while Holly and I chased a couple of rabbits, they snuggled down and acted as thought the North Pole was on a visit!

OTL put them down on the beach but Snowflake still wanted to get back into the warm!

Come on Daddy I'm FREEZING!
By the way, that last photo was taken with the mobile phone, rubbish on focusing!

Snowflake gave up trying to get back in the bag and headed down the beach for a wee.

She was not a 'Happy Ferret', some one had trod on her Wee'ing Rock and pushed it into the sand, so, when the tide came in, the rock disappeared! 

Me Rocks Gone!
Brambles didn't hang around 'cos he was sure to get the blame! He shot off up the beach and remarked that the wind was 'Blowing his tail About'!

My tails 'Blowin' in The Wind'!
I found a super sniff to roll in and when OTL told me to get up I pointed out that it was a ferret sniff, honest!


If it's good enough for a ferret............!
Young Bryn came past, walking on The Sea Wall, he normally tries to have a nibble of a ferret but today his owner had got some tasty nibbles, so he ignored us and was on his best behaviour!

I've not even looked at them, now, Gissa Nibble!
 Sneaky Woofer got two nibbles!

We are going to try that on The Missus, she's a sucker for a 'Soppy Look'!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again but there was no one about, Holly says that they have all gone away on holiday and were sitting in lorries on the M20 doing Operation Stack, or should that be Operation Stuck!

OTL has spent the afternoon changing the shelves around in the ferret cage, getting ready for the new bits that should arrive soon.

We have sent off an email to The Centre to see how Miss April and Miss May are doing after their operation and we then should get an idea how long it will be before they move in with Brambles and Snowflake!

We are off now to see if there is anything worth mugging tonight before having to put up with that horrible Doggy Scoff again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

F1 and a Soggy Sunday!

Hi Woofers!

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

An exciting day all round today! First we were out this morning and although it was raining, it wasn't too heavy and both Holly and I and the ferrets had fun with Old Two Legs, the ferrets got out of the bag and were rushing about chasing each other. OTL gets the camera out and finds he has left the memory card in the computer!

Wot a Plonker!

That didn't stop us from having a good time on the beach and the ferrets from digging holes in the beach!

We got home to a bowl of Chicken and Biscuits and Brambles was scratching at the kitchen door to be let it as well!

Of course, he couldn't be let while we were eating 'cos he gets right into our biscuit bowl and Holly dog gets all possessive!

It was raining on and off all morning but we were tucked up on our cushions and enjoyed a super 'After Breakfast Snooze'!

Lunch time was a little damp, you see we let OTL watch the F1 racing, right up to the first lap, then I sat by his side, 'talking' to him! He gets the message and we are just about to head out of the front door when the rain just bucketed down! So, back inside to get our rain coats. After we get them on and open the front door, the rain had stopped!

We arrived in the car park and guess wot? Yep, it was raining!

Now Holly doesn't do rain and neither do I!

I don't mind swimming 'cos that is a different wet but rain, no thanks!

So, when we got out of the car and found it was raining we asked if we could go back home!

OK, can we go back now?
OTL said that if he had to miss the F1 racing, then we were jolly well going to go for a walk, rain or no!

Holly had to be put on the lead 'cos she wanted to go back and wouldn't come when OTL called!

I don't care, I want to go back!
 It wasn't until we got to the spot where we turn for home that OTL let her off the lead. She was still grumpy and wanted to get home!

OK, Let's go now!
 I must admit that her suggestion was sort of 'Appealing'!


Home doesn't seem so bad actually!

We didn't go back home straight away. OTL said we were going to get some more Cat Litter for the ferrets poo tray and the place where OTL gets it is The Doggy Shop!

We just love that place, the sniffs are super and there were doggy biscuits on the floor, so we had to help tidy them up and there was rabbits in a box with windows and Holly and I had fun choosing which one we wanted for lunch!

Then we went to the place where the Chicken Fillets were kept and OTL got the last five packets off the shelf!

We got back into the car and OTL opened up one of the packs and Holly and I got a bit each to eat while we were heading home!

Back home we left OTL watching the recording of the F1 racing, OTL says it was a 'very interesting race'

So, we are now heading down stairs for a little mug of OTL's dinner!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Summers Here!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what has happened to the weather? Yesterday it was showers and cloud, last night it was heavy rain making very large puddles on the road that leads to The Beach!

Before going out the ferrets must have got wind of the inclement weather 'cos they were cuddled up and when Old Two Legs called them out to get their harnesses on, what did they say? 

But Daddy, it's cold outside!
Not that it made any difference to OTL and before long we were down on The Beach.

When we got out of the car the wind was rather strong and in fact it was blowing so much that OTL left his hat back in the car!

Both ferrets were cuddled up in OTL's arms all the way down to the beach and it took a little while before they agrees to get down on the sand and have a game!

Mr Brambles was first to get going and he found a very interesting sniff that he shared with us!


Get a load of this sniff Sis!
 We looked over our shoulder towards Sheerness and OTL commented that he should have gone Black & White and brought his Yellow Filter!

It looked more like Autumn or even Winter!

Summer?
Back home we got some Chicken and that was followed by some Rabbit Ears!

OTL spotted Miss Snowflake racing from the office and into TM's Card Room with a unchewed Teeth Cleaning Chew!

The Cat Lady turned up mid morning 'cos she is over to play 'Glue Slapping' with TM, so we retired to our beds with a Rabbit Ear and a nibble she had brought us!

Mornings don't get much better!

Lunchtime came and the ferrets were snoring their whiskers off and OTL suggested a walk!

OTL bumps into another Soldier Beetle but this time it is just a male, on his own and no females, OTL said it was because it was too cold, too windy and too late!

So, where is everyone?
 We left him to it and headed down The Sea Wall where we met up with a new woofer. We said 'Hello' and exchanged information on sniffs.

You know, there is a good reason why Holly and I greet any single woofer, you see, while one says 'Hello' the other sniffs his butt!

Hello there!
Holly and I think it's great fun, and dead crafty!

We had a good game of 'Chase' and Holly, being the crafty one, took a short cut and got to OTL first!

Holly Wins!
 We have been nibbling on Rabbit Ears and Chews and Teeth Cleaning Chews and you know what, OTL told us that he saw Snowflake running into TM's Card Room with a Teeth Cleaning Chew in her mouth and she hid it behind a set of shelves where we couldn't get to!

Sneaky or Wot!

Not sure what is for dunner tonight, last night it was Curry, so we missed out on Muggins, but maybe tonight we will be in luck!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

A Damp Start to the Weekend.

Hi Woofers!

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

It has been a real Mix-up Day today, first of all we overslept 'cos we were up late watching the appendices to the Lord of The Rings, four DVD's!

It has taken four nights and we still have one more disc to go before starting on the second film!

Well, there we were, up late and half asleep!

Today The Missus is taking us out for our morning walk 'cos Old Two Legs has got an early morning job to do which means that us and the ferrets get all mixed up!

Like, they got a little run around and a change of Poo Trays then it was back into the cage with a promise that TM would let them out later for a run around!

We headed for the beach and the tide was in and just right for a dip. Trouble was, every time I got down the beach and near the water TM would bellow out 'NO', so, I went to the next bit of beach and again, 'NO' so in the end, no swim, not even a paddle!

We got to chase a rabbit but to be honest, it was hardly worth chasing 'cos it was so small!

Back home the ferrets got five minutes run around the office and a slurp of Ferretone and then back into the cage, hardly a Rampage!

Late morning OTL returned and pretty soon we were all heading to the beach again. Unfortunately, the tide was out, so no swimming, not even a paddle! The ferrets had fun digging a hole or two then plunged into the sea grass to hunt snakes and other monsters!

What they found was a grumpy crab who refused to move 'cos he was too comfortable on the sand!

It's taken me ages to get comfortable!
Snowflake didn't bother discussing it with the crab 'cos the rain had started and it was still a long way from the car park!

Yeah! Whatever, it's too wet to discuss it with you!
We headed back to the car at a trot 'cos we didn't want to get too wet. Except Brambles who insisted on having a sniff and a roll every ten foot or so!

There were a couple of times when OTL picked him up to carry him 'cos he wasn't making any progress but as soon as OTL scooped him up, he wriggled about so much that OTL put him down again and told him to 'Hurry Up!'

Back home it's Doggy Scoff again but with any luck, we might get some muggings from OTL!

The ferrets got a good 'Rampage' around the house and Brambles had great fun eating our biscuits and splashing about in our drinking water bowl!

Then it was back to bed for him while Snowflake did some 'House Keeping' of her squeaky balls which she hides in the 'Adventure Playground', mind you, after all that 'Sorting' she then falls asleep in the box and OTL has to dig her out and put her back into the cage again, all without waking her up! 

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Snakes in the Grass!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what an exciting day, sort off!

It started this morning very early, Holly could hear something out side the house, so, being on 'Puppy Patrol' she did her 'Keep Quiet and move on' woof, which lasted a long time, long enough to wake The Missus up.

TM, being a friendly sort, especially at three in the morning, joined if the woofing as well!

Then she proceeded to bounce about on the bed claiming she couldn't get back to sleep and because of that, she made sure everyone else was awake to join her in not getting back to sleep again!

That of course didn't make Old Two Legs happy and he got up a little earlier than normal, which in turn means the ferrets were woken up earlier than normal!

So, that means TM managed to wake everyone up and of course she blamed everyone except herself!

Down on the beach we had a fun time digging holes and chasing each other.

Miss Snowflake had trouble getting out of the ferret bag 'cos she really wanted to catch up on her sleep!

Just a Five Minute Snooze, Please!
 On the way back we came across Mr Bailey who was having a 'Mid Walk Rest'. He is getting on a bit and is a bit slow. That of course is an open invitation for Brambles to have a little joke!

He and Snowflake were dancing along the path and just before they got to Bailey, Brambles rolled onto his back and called out that he would wrestle any one within six feet! 

Then he fell on his back and kicked his legs up and called out 'Come on, Who's next?'

Come on, who's next?
 Back home we had a great Lambs Heart breakfast followed by a super snooze. OTL was getting on with his work until lunchtime arrived!

Today OTL decided that he would try his Macro Lens as the insects were about, so off we set and pretty soon landed in the car park.

We got out and a our mate Mercedes, the Bozo Labrador who thinks OTL is wonderful, seemed to have left his TL on the grass. Even OTL was a little puzzled and asked what he was doing.

'I've just let loose a snake that I found in the garden' he replied and offered to show OTL where it was. It seems that the snake was caught by a cat and was a little shaken by the experience.

When we got to the spot, the snake had crawled off into the undergrowth. Before he let the snake go, the TL had taken some pictures and he kindly sent them to OTL.

We picked the best and after a little fiddling OTL came up with this.

Thanks, I'm off now!
We didn't see any snakes so OTL had to put up with the insects on the flowers! First of all we spotted the Soldier Beetles!

Smile for the Camera!
Next OTL found a Dragonfly having a rest on a plant and crept up to take this shot.

Just having a rest.
Then, a Flesh Fly landed on a flower and started drinking the nectar.

Holly said that it was the first time she had seen a Vegetarian Flesh Fly!

Really, I don't like meat!
 It was rather warm and Holly decided that she would take every opportunity to have a rest in the shade!


This is a cool spot!
 We found this flower that had three insects having lunch together, a Soldier Beetle, a Flesh Fly and a Bee or Wasp, we can't make up our mind and OTL can't find it in his 'Insect Book'!


Three for Lunch!
 Back home it was back to snoozing until OTL finished his work.

He is out early tomorrow and TM will have to take us out for our morning walk. Mind you, she says that she will not be able to take the ferrets out, just us. So, after we come back she has said that she will let the ferrets out for a rampage!

Now that will be fun!

So, we're off to do some mugging, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles
