Sunshine is here!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and the one and only, Freddy de Ferret!

We had some fun this morning!

Now, Old Two Legs is not one of those 'Risk Takers' or a gambler. He reckons that 'Good Luck' sort of passed him by and he subscribes to the 'Fate  Theory', like if you do good then a little bounces back and you get pleasant surprises.

Like two woofers and four ferrets!

Well, this morning we reminded him that we needed supplies from the freezer, like chicken and curry and a bottle of milk!

So he had a rummage around and found the chicken pieces and the milk but he wasn't sure about the curry. You see, The Missus has a 'Batch' cook and prepares half a ton of curry and puts in into little plastic boxes which are meal size. The all you have to do is thaw out the contents, cook some rice and Hey Presto, OTL has got curry for dinner!

Now she also does this for Cottage Pie and Shepherds Pie as well.

Normally a good sniff tells you the difference between curry and the other pies, that is of course, you have a good sense of smell.

OTL doesn't.

So, tonight OTL is looking forward to Curry and Rice which could transform into Shepherds Pie and Rice or even Cottage Pie and Rice!

It is at this point that 'Fate' takes a hand. OTL has cleaned the ferret cages, played games of 'Chase' with the ferrets, fed them tit bits of their favourite nibbles and a slurp of Ferretone!

Holly and I got a fresh Bonio biscuit each as well!

So, claws crossed, OTL will get a curry with loads of meat in it!

But, if he has been naughty, who knows what he'll get tonight?

Let's see what Fate does for him!

Fate was on our side this morning first thing. We were our of the car and chasing rabbits along the grass path.

When May went looking for the Shrew it had gone. Holly reckons that some Weasel had found it and was enjoying a good breakfast!

April thought it had run away!

It had no head, how can it run away?
We were all playing 'Hunt The Shrew' in the grass but there was no sign of it at all!

April said that we should all check our paws 'cos she thought I had trodden in something smelly!

'ere, wot you trod in?
We found a puddle on the path and was all had a splosh before getting back into the car!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again, this time with Fred and Wendy. Unfortunately it was rather chilly and drafty, so you know what happened..........

We've had a wee, can we get back in the bag now?
 As we got closer to the car both ferrets jumped out of the bag and raced towards the car park. All this running makes them both thirsty and of course, they were first into the back of the car!

I know it tastes of Woofer but I really need a drink!
Young Ethan has been out with his camera again and managed some good shots of the local ducks!

This is an Egyptian Goose with last years  offspring!
The Canada Goose was showing off 'cos he couldn't get all the food that was being thrown in the water!

OK, throw some food my way!
 Of course there were Mr and Mrs Mallard!

It's the Quackery Family!
There was a good shot of some tulips but the background was a bit untidy, too many houses, so, OTL played around with it on his computer and this is the result!

Tulips and Bluebells by Ethan.
So, that is about it at the moment, OTL is off to have a look at his frozen dinner, we still can't work out what it is but the frost has fallen off the outside but the lid is still frozen in place!

Our chicken looks almost ready to cook so at least we will get our dinner tonight, OTL may be down to a Bacon Sarnie with rice!

Let's hope Archie Babe is better and he gets released early next week!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

Saturday is Fun Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret back again!

Well, today we over slept, which is a bit strange 'cos we fell asleep yesterday evening and only woke up in time to go to bed!

We don't mind really 'cos it is the Weekend and we are allowed to do stuff like that!

We had some fun down on the beach, I found a well chewed ball and Old Two Legs was throwing it for me to chase. It's a pity that the tide wasn't in 'cos I could have gone in for a swim!

Miss May was sniffing the air and her whiskers were all of a twitch. She could sniff something that would be a 'First' for her!

It's here, I know it's here, I can sniff it's here!
 She had a ferret around and the dived into the Sea Kale, well, we thought, it's just the plant sniff but she went in and was shaking something that wasn't going to see midday!

It was a Shrew! Within a few seconds May had chewed the head off and was looking for somewhere to stash the rest so she could come back tomorrow for 'afters'!

A little bit left for later!
It was lucky that OTL had the camera out 'cos she dived back into the Sea Kale and hid the rest of the Shrew for later!

Now I'd have a look at it but remembering back to Archie Babes troubles, (Giardia) I think I'll give it a miss this time thank you very much!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again and OTL forgot the camera, plonker!

Mind you, we did visit the Sea Kale but both Freddy and Wendy decided that the dead Shrew was disgusting and there was no way they were going anywhere near it!

We had some pictures sent to us by The Missus of just what they were all getting up to!

Now these were all taken by Ethan on his camera he got as a present!

OTL reckons he is getting better all the time!


How about some Duck Soup?
 Of course, once Duck Soup was mentioned they all cleared off!

Duck Done Gone!
 Then he decided to stick to trees and flowers, at least they won't get up and run away!

A super shade of yellow!
 Next he tried some 'Macro' work on this blue plant, I reckon the colours are super!

Well, it's not a Blue Bell
Finally he got really close to this Fried Egg Plant, well, we are not sure that is it's name but they do look like a fried egg!

Fried Eggs for tea?
 So, we have had a good day and as soon as OTL finishes on the computer we are off for some dinner.

We have got Doggy Scoff 'cos OTL forgot to get our chicken out of the freezer, he also forgot to get his curry out as well so he is on some sort of scoff as well!

See you all tomorrow!

Lick and Wag to Archie Babe!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

Busy day for OTL!

Hi Woofers!


Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret here and I know, we are  late again!

Blame Old Two Legs this time. He has been so busy yesterday and we didn't have dinner until late and of course, after dinner what do you do? Yep! Fall Asleep!

Trouble is, we all fell asleep waking up just in time to go to bed!

So, here is today's news in brief!

Down on the beach Holly found an old shoe that had come in on the tide.

How can they walk in these?
 Freddy said that he fancied a swim today but when he got down to the beach, the waves were just a little too large!

No, Not Today Thank You!
 Mean while, in a town a long way away, we have received pictures that show Auntie Jane with Megan, Finley and Ethan trying to catch some ducks for dinner!

Here Ducky, Ducky!
In the end they decided to go home and get something out of the freezer!

Next Time!
 At the school, they were having a Happy Birthday Feast Thingy Wotssit Day and everyone had to go in dressed as a King or Queen. Well every one except The Missus and Auntie Jane!

Looking Good!
 So, other than the snoring from OTL, that's our day, a little boring when OTL is working but we expect there to be some fun today, or else!

See you later!

Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

Today the Workmen came to call!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret here again!

We had a super sleep last night, no snoring from The Missus, and, we got to sleep on her side of the bed as well!

We still had to put up with Holly snoring but that is normal for her!

We were up early 'cos May and April were fighting in their cage. Just 'cos they didn't have their full quota of rampaging yesterday!

OTL let them out for breakfast and to give April her medication after that they went potty running all over the place!

In the end they were exhausted and climbed onto my cushion for a rest!

A nice soft Woofer Bed!
 We were soon off down the beach, just in time to see the sun climb up over the horizon.

Good Morning Sunshine!
We didn't see any woofers on our way out to the beach but we did hear some woofing noise in the distance!

Who the Woofing Heck is that?
April and May were charging about on the sand and OTL caught May having a roll in something sniffy!

Just give me a moment and I'll get out of this sniff!
May then went off hunting. She started off looking for Slimy Minsters but then decided she would go hunting Nargles!

Needless to say, she didn't find any Nargles!

There must be a Nargle somewhere around!
Back home it was all rush and tear around getting cages cleaned and stuff like that 'cos we were expecting some workmen to arrive to give all the double glazing windows and doors a good servicing. Some needed re hanging and some required new handles and some just needed re aligning so that the all shut properly and stopped all the draughts!

OTL insisted that we went up to his office and have a snooze while they were working 'cos he didn't want us playing with their tools!

As if!

Lunchtime we were back down the beach with Freddy and Wendy. Holly and I found some sniffs that had been brought in on the high tide and although it was a little blowy, it wasn't too cold!

and there's another sniff here!
Both ferrets decided to have a game in the Sea Kale and little Wendy was even prepared to set up a bed in there!

Can I stay in here for a snooze?
 OTL wouldn't let them stay and instead marched us all back to the car!

Oi! The sniffs are better over here!
Back home we all fell asleep, except OTL who was working on his Tax Return!

You know, that always makes him grumpy, you see, he is not an accountant and he needs to pay close attention to what he is writing in the little boxes!

Now, we are glad to hear that Archie Babe is making a good recovery but sorry to hear he had to have a wash. I mean, dogs only get wet when the go for a swim or get caught in the rain!

Now wot's this allergy bit? I mean, a woofer has got to have some pleasures in life! When I have to have tablets, OTL does his best to hide them in all manner of stuff from cheese spread to a dollop of ice cream!

He has even been known to crush a tablet, shove it down the front of a plastic injector thingy and then back it up with some ice cream, then he shoves it down the side of my tongue and squirts it down my throat!

He don't half get a surprise when I spit it out again!

Oh! The little pleasures of being a woofer!

Keep yer tail up Archie Babe!

Right, we are off to see what OTL is going to cook for himself tonight and find out if it is worth mugging him for some!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

We're Back!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret here!

Sorry about no blog last night, you see we have been out with Old Two Legs in the big car, all day!

After the morning run down the beach we were rushed back to the house 'cos we had to be out good and early!

The Missus is off to baby sit while Auntie Zoe is off to America for a weeks holiday! What is more, OTL had to run them to the airport to catch the plane!

Of course, we got left behind so we didn't see OTL help to catch a plane, I mean, we see them pass over us but they are so high in the sky and we can#t jump up that high and get them, so, we still don't know how Auntie Zoe and Paul and OTL managed to grab one!

They must have done it 'cos OTL arrived back, rather late, and said that it was 'Hell' on the M25 and all roads around the M25 as well!

So, off we went home. Well, we now know what he means 'cos we were sitting in the car and not moving for ages! Holly and I had our noses out of the window sniffing the sniffs and woofing at the other two legs in their cars. We didn't see any woofers so I suppose they all stayed at home and kept out of the way!

Finally, very late, we got back home, just in time for bed!

So, that's the reason for the missing blog!

The ferrets were not too happy about being left all day without any games but we promised to make it up to them today!

See you later on!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

Freddy tries sun bathing!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

At the moment we have not had any information on how Archie Babe is doing. We know he has been given a pink bandage to hold the cannula from falling out, I mean, PINK?

It's a good job his mates can't see him!

Auntie Sue has got a red eye, if she had two red eyes she would look like a white ferret!

Down here in North Kent we have had some sunshine to warm everything up. So, first thing this morning we were down on the beach playing games. Holly and I had fun doing a 'Dig and Whizz'

Dig and Whizz!
Out to see we noticed that a ship was coming into the River Medway to off load but as Holly pointed out, it was getting close to the shore!

Then she did some calculations and reckoned that it could run out of water if it didn't move off to the Port Side.

That Holly Dog certainly knows her stuff, the ship changed direction slightly and headed up river!

It could run out of water soon!
Back home Old Two Legs had to take the big car into town to get an MOT test done, so we got left at home looking out the bedroom window and waiting for them to come back!

Lunchtime was fun as well 'cos OTL took us down the beach again and Freddy decided to 'Do a Holly' and catch some rays!

Wendy told him that is he stayed on the beach like that he would appear on shipping maps as a 'Hazzard'!

Come on you lump, Move!
Well, Freddy decided that as the sun was warm and the sand was even warmer he would stretch out and have a little snooze while Wendy was playing Bulldozers with Holly and me!

This is the life!
Wendy is quite good at digging trenches in the sand but she has to keep stopping to shake the sand off her nose!

Sand up your nose makes you sneeze!
As the tide was in, I went to play in the water. OTL told me I couldn't go in swimming.

As if I listened to him!

Come on Holly, have a splash like me!
 Well we both had a paddle but in the end I just couldn't hold back any longer. I pretended there was a stick out on the waves that needed rescuing and in I went!

Holly started to woof and she even got her paws wet, just her paws!

But OTL said no!
Mind you, Freddy and Wendy decided that they would stay out of the water 'cos it looked muddy.

Just wait until the summer arrives, I reckon the pair of them will be in and splashing about!

We got the big car back from it's MOT, so now we are all ready for our holiday up in Scotland, all we have left is for the caravan to get serviced!

OK, we are off to see what we can mug off OTL 'cos we got served up Doggy Scoff!

Yuk!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

Claws Crossed for Archie Babe!

Hi Woofers!

It's us here, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and of course, Freddy de Ferret!

We got news that Archie Babe was kept in the Veterinary Hospital last night! Seems he was not getting enough fluid in to him so they have stuck him on a drip and given him some snoozy pills!

A bit later today we got info that he will be staying at the vets over night to continue with the treatment and with a bit of luck he'll be home tomorrow!

Keep yer tail up Archie Babe, we have all got our claws crossed and leave the cats alone for a while!

We bet that cat is laughing all over it's whiskers. Miss May says we should let her and April go up and have a word with that pussy, you know, put it in it's place and keep out of the garden or we let Nipper off the chain!

That'll sort the cat out!

It was great down on the beach, the sun was out and the sand was dry and just great for the ferrets to have a dig in!

April getting ready for playing 'Dozers'!
 After a while May came along to help April shovel some sand into a big pile!

OK, form a line and dig yer nose in!
 Holly was sniffing out some sea weed that had come in on the last tide, she reckons it was full of shrimps but Old Two Legs says it was more than likely sand flies!

What ever turns you on!

Lunchtime Freddy and Wendy were down the beach having fun carrying on with the digging May and April started.

OK, here is the starting place!
 Freddy, being a bit bigger got his nose into the sand and was shovelling away like a powerful Bulldozer. The only problem was, the sand was sticking to his hair and getting up his nose!

Any one got a Hankie I could borrow?
 After a while Freddy decided to have a break from digging and spend some time chasing Holly, well, really he was creeping up behind Holly and shouting WOOF!

Of course, Holly pretended to be frightened and ran off going 'OOOO! I'm being chased by a Monster'!

Ooooo! Help, It's a Ferret Monster!
 Miss Wendy was chasing after Freddy but she couldn't keep up with Freddy 'cos he can be a bit speedy when he is chasing Holly!

Slow down you lump, wait for me!
OTL had to go out this afternoon and didn't get back until much later. Mind you, he had half an hour before he got served with his dinner, which we helped him eat!

So, we are off to see what The Missus has that is worth mugging.

See you tomorrow and Keep yer Tail up Archie Babe!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

Bye Bye Lucy.

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!

We have had a good day down on the beach today but this afternoon we heard that Lucy, (Woofer with Woolly Jumper) suffered a heart attack and has slipped away. Such sad news on such a sunny day.

Lucy has not been well for a little while now and has been putting up a brave fight. We know what it's like to lose one of the pack and our thoughts are with her family.

Down on the beach this morning we found a sand castle that had been left there over night.

Sand Castle or the start of a Mott-and-Bailey?
Holly, who is into ancient monuments reckons it is a Mott & Bailey but May says it is a sand castle and the best thing to do with a sand castle is to jump all over it!

This is wot you do!
 I must admit, it certainly looked like a sand castle, so I jumped in to help!

I'll under mine it from here!
 It wasn't too long before we reduced it down but we left the last bit for Miss April to finish off!

Come on April, it's your turn!
 April is all for some fun and jumped on top and was kicking the sand all over the place! I got covered and so did May but it was good to see April enjoying herself!

Going, Going, Flat!
 Back home The Missus had prepared some chicken for us, so it was 'Nose Down and Tail Up' until it had all gone!

While we were sorting the chicken out, Old Two Legs was clearing the ferret cages. I know what I would rather be doing!

Miss May thinks it great fun to sneak up on OTL when he is on his knees and his head inside the cage. She comes charging into the office and jumps on his back and runs up to his shoulders and back down again!

Poor OTL always gets caught out and ends up banging his head on the cage!

Lunchtime we decided to go out a little earlier 'cos OTL and TM wanted to watch the F1 Racing that had been recorded.

Freddy and Wendy were awake and waiting and pretty soon we were back on the beach again with Holly and I sniffing the sniffs while the ferrets played Bulldozers in the sand!


Brrm, Brrm!
 Holly reckoned that the ferrets had a super way of diving in with their noses and digging into the sand.

So, she was going to have a go!

In she went.

Not exactly Ferret Fashion but she tried. In the end there was more sand up her nose and in her eyes!

Well, I tried!
 I wasn't so daft as to try, instead I found a bit of sun dried sea weed and had a chew while Freddy started to build 'Freddies Wall'.

It's a bit like Hadrian's Wall but smaller!

This is how it's done!
Back home we had a snooze while the F1 Racing was on. There were some crashes and bits falling off the cars but in all it was a good race, as far as F1 goes!

I think that Russia is the next host, so that should be fun!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

The Revenge of The Sniff!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and The Fabulous Freddy de Ferret!

Have we had some fun today!

Old Two Legs has been playing about with bits of paper again and Holly and I have been helping him, sort of!

Well, we reckon that if we jump up on his lap, lick his nose then kick all the paperwork on the floor he might forget about paper and come and have some fun with us and the ferrets!

We got him out early, or rather The Missus did 'cos she wanted to get up the village hall for her 'Croppy Thingy', she gets so excited when she knows she will get to slap some glue about!

Down on the beach we decided it wasn't going to be sunny or warm so after Miss April had finished her wee, we headed back to the car!

OK, Finished!
 You can see what we mean about the weather, those clouds look like they could hold some rain!

It looks sort of Damp!
We saw a couple of cats but remembering what happened to Archie Babe, we decided that we would stick to rabbits, well at least they run in straight lines!

We met up with some new Bozo Woofers who we just visiting but we said 'Hello' and then warned them about May and April being 'Killer Ferrets' who only eat Bozo Woofers!

You should have seen them run back to their car!

Lunchtime walk was about the same, a few rabbits and still the threat of rain so we got back as soon as possible and settled down to watch the F1 racing. Actually it was the 'Practice Sessions' but you should have seen the rain! It was coming down in bucket loads!

OTL said that he would watch the Qualifying tonight when TM gets back, so we will look forward to watching that while OTL has his diner and Holly and I have our 'Weekend Rawhide Chew'!

Let's hope the weather is better tomorrow both here and in China then we can have some fun on the beach and get back in time to watch the recording of the race before lunchtime!

See you all tomorrow and here's hoping that Archie Babes pain killers have kicked in and he works out a way to wee, with dignity!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.
