Guess Who's Back?

Hi Woofers!

Yep! It's us again!

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

Sorry about yesterday, you see Old Two Legs was off at six yesterday morning, after cleaning out the ferrets and giving April her meds. That left The Missus to look after us.

Little did we know she was off up the village hall for a Master Class!

The ferrets didn't get a walk, we got left at home, all day and we only got a quick morning walk across the Farm Field!

TM and Helen called in at lunchtime and we got a walk around the Farm Field again and shoved back in the house again!

Holly and I were up for writing a complaining blog but OTL had forgotten to leave the password to get into the laptop, so that was it!

OTL didn't get back from his meeting until seven thirty, and by the time he had his dinner, it was time for bed!

However, today we have spent with OTL and got our walks with the ferrets, so we are sort of 'Back to Normal' again!

It was a super morning, the sun was shining and the ferrets managed to blag a lift in the ferret bag all the way down to the beach!

It's close, I can sniff the Sea Weed!
 Of course, Little April just had to ask..................

Are We?
 Holly and I were catching up on the sniffs we missed yesterday.


These are better than the Farm Field!
 Down on the beach I found a sandcastle and took a swipe at it with my paw as I passed by. That was an invitation for the ferrets to have a dig at it as well!

If I give it a shove it may just fall over!
 Well, it didn't fall over and that left Miss April to finish it off!


Now, if I chase OTL the lead will slice through the sandcastle and it will crash to the ground!
 She was right, it fell over and April jumped onto the top of the pile and did a 'Victory Wee'!

Next it was over to the Sea Kale and April made us all watch her 'Doing Cute'!

Bet you can't beat this for Cute!
 Miss Aprils paw it getting better, the swelling is slowly coming down and it isn't so sore now. Just to prove how well she feels, she walked all the way back from the beach to the car without a carry!

OTL went off to collect the caravan and it is now planted on the drive ready for getting ready for our holiday!

We have been telling Fred and Wendy all about our holidays and the new sniffs and the beaches and all the fun we have. They both say they are looking forward to it 'cos they have never been on a holiday before!

Lunchtime we were back down the beach again and this time the tide was right in. Of course I was straight into the water chasing sticks!

I got it! Come on throw it again!
 Holly Dog decided that the water was just a little too far up the beach for her liking, so she stayed up on the Sea Wall and kept out of the way of the waves!

No, this is far enough for me thank you!
 Freddy, being a bit braved than Holly, went down to the waters edge and was watching the waves.

What he didn't allow for was the wave rushing up the beach to where he was standing!

He got wet!

Yikes! All me 'Bits' are wet!
I don't think Freddy will ever learn, but it was fun watching him especially when he rushed back to OTL and insisted on being picked up and cuddled so he could get dry!

OTL had to go home with a wet shirt!

We are just off now to investigate what is for dinner 'cos we got served up with Doggy Scoff!

Let's hope OTL has got better than Doggy Scoff!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

I'm in Trouble, again!

Hi Woofers!

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

We were out this morning with May and April and you will be pleased to know that the Sore Paw is not so red and sore and Old Two Legs even thinks it has gone down in size! We will know more tomorrow morning when OTL has another look.

April says that it is not so painful to walk on! So, it looks like the Anti-Biotic Stuff is working!

Look! I've even had a dig!
Of course, Miss May not only had a dig but she managed to have a good roll in the hole she dug as well!
Bet you woofers can't do this!
Coming off the beach we spotted Kelly the Kestrel looking for breakfast and May said the she 'Fancied her Chances' and could we get him down on the ground?

OTL told her to stop trying to start a fight and get on with her Ferreting!

Come down here and try it!
You know that Aprils paw is getting better 'cos she walked all the way back to the car without trying to blag a lift in the ferret bag!

We got some chicken for breakfast so while OTL was down his customers again, we enjoyed a good snooze on the bed!

Now, lunchtime, well, it was just Great!

It started off with Wendy running all over the beach digging holes. A real game of Ferret Whizz and Dig!

Here comes the Fast Flying Ferret!
Not to be out done, Freddy said he was going to have a rest on the beach and do some work on his tan! Holly asked him if he had got any Factor 30 Cream but Freddy said that he tans naturally!


Soon I'll be Golden Brown all over!
The best bit was when OTL found a stick and was waving it about and teasing me!

Well, he wasn't going to get away with that so I told him didn't I.........!

THROW THE WOOFING STICK!
 We then had a game of 'Chase the Stick and I had a swim as well!

The waves were a bit rough but that wasn't going to stop me!


OK, here I go!
Up the top of the hill we met up with Poppy and Beau who came over to say hello to the ferrets. Now, that was OK and we all had a Tail Sniff and a look at the ferrets and then another Tail Sniff.

Then it was time to go.

Well, that's what the Two Legs decided but Poppy didn't agree with that so we had to leave her being dragged along the path as Poppy was saying that she wasn't ready to go yet!


But I don't want to go yet Mum!
Back home OTL was back on the computer trying to get all the stuff finished before the weekend starts, so we left him alone for a while!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Hot Work!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a glorious day it has been, loads of sunshine and some great games on the beach!

It started off with Miss May getting a bit worried about a Kestrel that was hovering on the wind looking for its breakfast! 

Mouse with Mushrooms and a bit of Fried Bread!
 May was wondering if it was looking for that shrew she caught the other day!

If it comes down here can I have it for breakfast?
 Little April was having fun on the beach 'cos the sand was not only dry but it was warm as well, so she didn't mind walking on the sand with her sore paw!

Old Two Legs said that it looked like the swelling had gone down a little but we will wait for tomorrow to be sure!

This is so warm!
 May was off in the Sea Kale again and pretended that she had finished off the shrew and even called out that there was another and she was too full to eat it!

Guess who was trying to trick the Kestrel?

Yum Yum! Shrew!
 It seems the Kestrel is not so daft 'cos it took one look at May and headed off down the Sea Wall!

Sometimes OTL calls May his 'Little Flower', so, today she stuck her head out of the Sea Kale and tried to look like a Ferret Flower!

You can call me Petal!
Back home OTL got called by his customer and spent nearly all day working on the computer again!

Holly and I spent time in the garden snoozing and listening to the fountains in the pond!

 We still haven't seen Trevor or any of his brothers, maybe they have all cleared off to the swamp on The Marshes!

Lunchtime on the beach was great! Holly and I were playing 'Dig and Whizz' and I even tried to get Holly wet when we were playing 'Chase' along the beach!

Come on, just a bit closer to the waves, you won't get wet, Honest!
 Not that Holly believed me! Freddy was a bit more gullible and he got too near the waves!


'Ere, I got me Tummy Wet!
Wendy was laughing her whiskers off at Freddy getting wet but she didn't get close to the water, she's not that daft!

Holly and I played 'Tug' with a stick we found on the beach and the pair of us were nose to nose for a long time!

GerrroffmystickundfindyerownorI'lldragyerintothewater!
 In the end Holly let go but it was only because we were getting too close to the waves!

Freddy walked all the way back to the car but managed to have a few 'Rest Stops' along the way!


This is Hot Work!
Wendy was dancing about all the way back as well. You can tell they love the sun on their back!

When we got back to the car we all had a cooling drink of water form the 'Travelling Bowl' and Freddy almost fell in 'cos he wanted to get his head wet as well!

Daft Ferret!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Meeting of Woofers!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, today has been just great!

I mean the sunshine has been around all day today. It was brilliant this morning, in fact it was so good that all us woofers held a meeting on the Sea Wall and there was woofing, and tail wagging and butt sniffing!

Yo! Polly Chops!

The Two Legs were there as well but we didn't see them do any butt sniffing!

OK, Who has the Gin Bottle?
Little Miss April was getting worried 'cos she said that she didn't fancy having her butt sniffed by any of the woofers!

Well, they 'aint sniffing mine!

Soon we were all off and April was first into the plants by the side of the path and she wouldn't come out until all of  the woofers had gone!


Is it safe?
Back home Old Two Legs was working on the computer and he kept checking on a big map full of lines and squiggles that he said were 'Contour Lines', but they still looked like squiggles to us!

Lunchtime Fred and Wendy came out with us and both had a good walk down to the beach!


.......................are we there yet?
 Wendy had a great time playing 'Bulldozers' and even Freddy joined in at one time! He normally spends all the time digging holes!


Wendy doing a 'Bulldozer'!
 Holly, not wanting to be left out of the fun, joined in and did her impression of a ferret playing 'Bulldozers'!

This is how a ferret does it!
 When we got back to the car, the ferrets were first in the water bowl, Freddy didn't even have time to stand up straight! He just sort of rolled over onto his back and threw himself into the bowl and made a terrible noise slurping at the water!


Ooooooh! I need this!

Of course, after they had finished, Holly and I got stuck in and almost finished off water!

Back home OTL finished the work and put loads of paper in a big folder and went off to deliver it to his customer.

Then, just as he was heading home, he decided to drop into the Doggy Shop, without us!

Mind you, when we saw what he had brought home we forgave him! There were teeth cleaning chews and Chicken Fillets and chicken strips and Jumbones!

So, you know what we will be after mugging tonight!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's a 'Sore Paw Day'

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret, back to see you again!

This morning Aprils paw was inspected by Old Two Legs and while he can judge the size of the pad, he can't see what the cause is. All we know is that the pad is swollen and is the same size as last night. So, no improvement there!

While we were out on the beach, OTL made a call to the vet for an appointment for April and managed to get one for 10;30hr today. That means we couldn't stay as long on the beach as normal. We did however, meet the lads, Poppy, Beau, Bryn, Max and Oscar!

So many woofers on the beach and they all wanted to say 'Hello' to the ferrets!

All the ferrets wanted was a wee!

It wasn't long before we had the beach to ourselves and we all enjoyed a game of 'Bulldozers' in the sand and even Holly got into the game as well!

Back home we had time to let OTL clean the cages out and for the ferrets to have a 'Rampage' around the house!

Little April fell asleep under the furniture and OTL had to move it away from the wall before he could extract April from underneath!

Pretty soon it was time for April to visit the vet and May decided she would come along as well to keep April company and hold her paw if she got worried!

The vet had a look, poked around and decided that it was an infection that was causing the problem, so she decided that what was needed was a gallon or two of Anti-Biotic  stuff to add to the other medication she is taking!

OTL was heart broken as he handed his wallet over to the lady who works the till!

He was sobbing all the way home and both May and April had to give him a lick and a cuddle, just to help him get over the shock of it all!

What was worse, OTL has managed to break the memory card in the camera, so bang goes the photos for today!

Just as he was getting over it all, one of his customers rang up with an URGENT PROBLEM!

So, that was it, off went OTL and we got walked at lunchtime by The Missus!

We are still waiting for him to come home, you see, he has steak and chips tonight and our poor stomach walls are banging together and the noise is terrible!

We need OTL home, NOW!

We will let you know how it goes!

Bye for now!

Luv,

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

Wot Happened to the Sun?

Hi Woofers!

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

Now, first thing first, take a deep breath and all together..............................

Happy Birthday To Yoooo,
Sniffy Butts and a Pooooo
Happy Birthday Dear Izzy
Happy Birthday Toooo Yooooo!

Izzy Gotta Cake As Well!
 Izzy is now Three Years Old and don't she look just Great!
But why has she got six candles on the cake?

Which wasn't the tale when we went out first thing this morning, the sun had gone and the clouds have come back!

Too many Clouds!
 We got onto the beach and May found a sandcastle that someone had left behind! Of course, April and I just had to have a sniff while May was digging into it!

I'm Queen of The Castle!
We all had a great time diving into it and digging holes into the top!

I said that the tide was going out so May rushed down to the waters edge just to wet her paws. What she didn't know was I'm telling porkies and the waves were coming in!

Yikes! It's wet!
 A bit further up the beach a couple of fishermen were getting ready to throw their worms back into the water for swimming lessons!

Now, wiggle your butt when your in the water!
 Back home April said that she had a sore paw and showed Old Two Legs. We couldn't see and thorns or cuts and it didn't look like it was infected. OTL thinks that April might have twisted or pulled her claw when she was trying to fight Wendy or Freddy through the cage!

Just to be on the safe side, if it hasn't gone down by tomorrow, then she will be off to the vets for them to have a look at it. OTL can't see close up and his new glasses won't be ready for a week or two, so he needs a 'Professional' to look at the paw!

Lunchtime Fred and Wendy had fun on the beach. They were playing 'Bulldozers' in the sand!

Playing Dozers!
We met up with three families of Two Legs with Mini Two Legs, they all wanted to give Freddy a stroke and of course, he just loves the attention!

Back home Holly and I got presented with a bowl of Doggy Scoff each, I mean, Doggy Scoff!

Yuk, YUk, YUK, YUK!

It's a good job OTL is going to get Venison Burgers tonight, we will be doing some serious mugging!

I bet Izzy didn't get Doggy Scoff!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's May Day for May!

Hi Woofers!

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

Now Miss May got her name 'cos she and her sister arrived at the Ferret Rescue in May/April, so, they got the name of May and April!

Today, being the first day of May we all woke up to sing a 'Happy Day' song to them both. We will also do it again on the first of April as well!

It was a super morning, all sunshine and no wind. So, we were off down the beach for a run around. When we got to the beach there were a couple of woofers already there digging in the sand!

Nah! They are too scared to come over here!
May thought that April was getting worried and rushed over to give her a sisterly cuddle!


It's OK Sis, we'll look after you!
Now today there was a High Pressure system overhead and the wind had dropped away, so, it was just wonderful!

In fact it was so good that I decided to have a little paddle.

This is how to start May!
 In fact, it was so good that Miss May even came down to the waters edge to get her paws wet! Mind you, she didn't go in for a paddle but you never know, she may have a swim before the summer is out. Remember when Snowflake and Mr Brambles had a swim in that stream when we were in South West Wales?

Come on, it's great in here!
Maybe later in the summer she will get her tail wet!

Back home Old Two Legs cleaned the cages out and then headed to the garden 'cos being the May Bank Holiday Weekend, it's time to give the garden a clean up and de-weed the path!

So, OTL missed the F1 Racing from Russia and had to watch the recording!

Tomorrow OTL may be out in the garden again digging more weeds out of the path in the back and of course, he has the pond to clean up as well, loads of paper that has been blown in over the winter time.

He is going to be a busy lad this weekend and of course there is the hay fever as well and that means he will be making lots of noise as well!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's The Ferret Man!

Hello Woofers!


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

What a change in the weather, no chilly winds, no snow or hailstones, just super sun shine!

Holly and I had a super game of 'Dig and Whizz' while May and April were ferreting about in the shells at the high tide mark!

You are just too slow Porkie!
 May was most upset to find out that some one had done a wee in the middle of the Sea Kale!

OK, who has wee'd in my plant?
April was in a good mood and she even climbed all the way up the grass path ferreting about in the long grass looking for mouses and shrews!


You look that side and I'll check this side!
One of the things that happens with April is that she gets tired quickly and needs to be carried in the ferret bag. Old Two Legs is always keeping an eye on her and May gives April a sisterly cuddle if she  slows down for a breather!

Come on Sis, we are all with you!
Back home we had chicken for breakfast while OTL was taking the caravan off to get it serviced in time for our holiday.

We reckon it will be back before the end of the week!

After getting back he woke up Freddy and Wendy and got them dressed up in their harnesses.

Down on the beach Wendy rushed off to the Sea Kale to find there was a sniff of Miss May on the leaves. Holly told her that May was not impressed that some one had wee'd in the Sea Kale!

Wendy decided that she would have a wee but this time on the sea shells, not the Sea Kale!

OK, I'll do a wee here then!
Holly and I played another game of 'Dig and Whizz' 'cos the tide still had not come in and the sand was dry and warm and easy to dig!

You dig and I'll Whizz!
After we left the beach we headed up the grass path and as we got to the top of the path some Two Legs came along with a very unfriendly Alsatian type German Shepard Woofer who definitely did not like other woofers, including us!

Lucky for us he was on a lead and also had a muzzle on as well!

We were just wondering what to do, stand or run when the mother TL screeched out 'Ooo! Look! It's The Ferret Man!'

Then she handed the lead and the woofer over to her son while she and her two daughter came rushing over to make a big fuss of Freddy and Wendy!

Both ferrets got picked up and stroked and then kissed and generally slobbered over!

Mind you, Freddy loves all this attention and even Wendy didn't complain!

We don't know how she got told about us but we understand that she has a ferret as well!

As they left us OTL said that we were famous!

Well, him and the ferrets but as Holly says, 'They don't have a blog!'

We are off to watch the F1 qualifying that has been recorded so we are going to do some mugging!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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