Soggy Doggys and a new car!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, wot a day Friday has been! It started off this morning when we headed down to the sea side for our morning walk but the closer we got to the car park the wetter it became!

By the time we got out of the car it was coming down like the beginning of The Flood!

Miss April dived straight back into the bag, May decided she wanted to go swimming, in the grass!

Holly and I decided a quick wee and a poo and then it's back to the car!

We all got soaked, including Old Two Legs who ended up with soggy trousers!

Back home, 'cos the ferrets hadn't had their normal rampage, they were still full of life!

Especially Miss May who, once she was let out of the travelling cage, she chased The Missus all over the place giving her playful 'Ferret Kisses' with her teeth!

April was in overtime collecting food and stashing it in TM's card room!

OTL had to change all his clothing and then after that, it was Ferret Cage Cleaning Time!

Fred and Wendy were let loose for a rampage around the house and of course, they both had a game with OTL getting their tummy tickled!

That is always a good game and it gives them a bit of exercise as well!

OTL decided that it was time to replace the small car 'cos we have had it for eleven years!

Off he went,leaving us at home with TM!

We watched him disappear up the road and lost him before he got to the end of the road!

Too much rain!

So, we went back to bed for a well earned snooze!

Lunchtime came and OTL still hadn't come back so TM said she would take us out for a stroll.

But it was raining!

We were going to get wet!

We didn't get our rain coats!

We got wet, very wet!

That was it, speed weeing and speed pooing, in the rain as well!

Back home we got a rub down but we were still a pair of damp doggies!

It wasn't long before OTL got back and he gave us a good rub down again with our towels!

He said he had ordered up a new car that was due for delivery towards the end of June or maybe beginning of July!

Exciting stuff!

So, we are all looking forward to tomorrow when we will get a good run, providing it has stopped raining of course!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Day with OTL

Yo Woofers!

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

Now Old Two Legs is dead chuffed with Miss April 'cos she takes her medicine every morning and evening like a good girl and always licks the bowl dry!

When OTL has had to give medicine to Snowflake or Brambles there has been all manner of problems! There was one time when Snowflake had to take her antibiotic and even with the help of the vet, snowflake spat it back at the vet and caught her straight in the eye! 

In the end OTL had to take her every day to the vet for an injection!

So we are all pleased that April likes the taste of her medicine in a bowl of lactose free milk!

Mumn, mummn, licky licky slurp slurp!

 OTL says she will be on that stuff for the rest of her life which we hope will be a loooooong time!

She has slimmed down and seems to be fit and full of fun even though she does need her sleep!

She pushed Holly and me out of a hole we had just started digging and took over digging and rolling in the sniffs!

It's Ours Now!

 Holly, May, April and I missed out on a really good sniff but OTL saw it and rather than have a roll, he took a photo!

A crab who has been out in the sun too long!

 We dropped The Missus off this morning and she has been out all day, so we have been having fun in the garden chasing pigeons and collared doves!

We have also been hunting for frogs but we spot a frog or catch a pigeon, so instead we stretched out on the patio and listened to the water feature gurgling away when the sun came out!

Lunchtime it was sort of warm and muggy but there were some rain clouds coming over but we managed to miss the rain. Let's face it, who likes to get wet?

Rain clouds heading for Essex!

 Mind you, I did go in for a good splash about in the retreating tide! It was great, not deep enough for swimming but deep enough for a good running splash!

Yippee!

 Fred and Wendy decided to stay on dry land together with Holly Dog who, as you know, just doesn't do wet!

We can rest here and watch Silly Knickers in the water!

 Back home we got some chicken but Holly decided it was too warm for food and decided to leave it until tonight, after mugging OTL!

Me, on the other paw decided to eat half of in now and reserve the rest for later!

Not sure what OTL has tonight but with a bit of luck it will be tasty!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Hello Piper!

Hello Woofers!

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

We have been out this morning and we found some super sniffs to roll in and I even got a swim as well!

Old Two Legs said that there was no way I was going to be let back in the car unless I got washed!

I didn't mind, it was a good excuse to have a swim!

Mind you, while I was getting my paws wet Holly Dog was investigating the sniff and trying to decide on having a roll but it was the thought of getting washed put her off!

Oooooh! This does sniff good!

 We were out early at lunch time 'cos OTL said we had a special visitor arriving!

Fred and Wendy were told to hurry up and dig their hole in the sea shells. Fred said that no one was going to rush him 'cos this was 'His Time' in the fresh air!

Wendy got back into the bag for a little while but was soon back out again as soon as we hit the grass path!

We are busy digging!

 As we were going along the Grass Path I had to go back and tell Freddy he was dragging his tail and if he didn't get a move I'd make sure our biscuits were put back in the packing and he would go hungry!

OK Freddy, shift yer tail!

 Back home we just in time to greet our visitors, There was Jean and Charles and Piper!

Piper is a super young poodle who thinks OTL is wonderful 'cos he allowed him to nibble our biscuits!

You know, Piper was small enough to get behind the furniture to pinch the biscuits that the ferrets had stashed there!

OTL's feet were there to stop Piper from jumping onto OTL's lap to give his nose a lick!

 OTL was playing about with the camera and sneaked a quick shot of Charles while demonstrating a Ring Flash. You can see the flash ring reflected off his glasses!

Uncle Charles!

 We are off now to mug OTL 'cos he has Sausage and Mash tonight and Holly and I are after the sausages!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

OTL gets wet!

Yo Woofers!

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

It has been fun today, Old Two Legs has been our target today!

It started this morning when we went out for our walk. Both May and April got down while Holly and I went off chasing rabbits!

We came back to OTL and then ran away again!

OTL was jumping up and down and getting all showy off!

OK, now everyone run away!

 Down on the beach we all had a dig while OTL kept his eyes open for other woofers. While he wasn't looking May dived into a pile of sea weed saying she was hunting monsters but we all knew she was just having a roll in something sniffy!

Oooh! Look! A Monster!

This time OTL told her to get up and stop playing 'Silly Mothers' or something like that!

May jumped back and pretended to fall over but that was only to get the last roll!

Oh! Ouch! I've been thrown out from under the sea weed where that monster is!      Honest!

 With that, she ran off down to the waters edge and ran along the side of the waves.

One day she is going to miss time it and she is going to get a god soaking, or I'm going to splash her by running past in the water!

Can't catch me!

 Back home to some Doggy Scoff but both Holly and I weren't too hungry so we decided to leave it until tonight, after OTL has finished his scoff!

Lunchtime Fred and Wendy said the were going to continue the game we played on OTL this morning but when we got out of the car it started to rain, not much but there were raindrops everywhere!

Both ferrets decided to leave the game until later and they both dived into the ferret bag to get out of the way of the rain drops.

Then, half way along the path the rain came down in bucket loads!

Both ferrets got deeper into the bag, Holy Dog decided to head back to the car with me following close behind her!

OTL was getting very wet following up behind us!

We got back to the bench and the rain stopped, so, both ferrets got out for a wee and Holly and I, now on the lead, decided to stop for a sniff in the grass.

Now this was not the best decision we had made today 'cos as soon as we were all sniffing away, down came the rain again!

It was a rush back to the car to get a rub down with the Doggy Towel. Ferrets first and then us woofers!

OTL didn't bother trying to have a rub down, he just sat in the front seat while his trousers went 'SQUELCH' every time he operated the pedals in the car!

Back home we all found a nice warm spot and snuggled down for a snooze before dinner!

Now, yesterday Holly and I mugged some of OTL's gammon but we are not sure what is on the menu today, so it's 'claws crossed'!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's Wet!

Hi Woofers!


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

It has been a quiet sort of day today, Holly says she has the 'Grumbly Tum' but it didn't stop her from pinching my Bonio Biscuit this morning!

Down on the beach the tide was in and Miss May did a 'Freddy' and chased the waves in and out but she managed to keep her paws dry!

Can't catch me!

I went in for a 'Deep Paddle' and got a bit wet! Old Two Legs called me a 'Soggy Doggy' again! I didn't care, it was fun!


Back home we had some 'Posh Nosh' served up and while I had bowl full all to myself Holly decided that she would leave it until later 'cos her tummy was rumbling!


Lunchtime we were down the beach again and Holly said her tummy was 'Better'!


Wendy was interested in a big pile of rock and sea weed 'cos she said that there was some big slimy monster hiding underneath!


Now, we have heard this tale before, Brambles and Snowflake were always talking about the monster but we never saw it!

We reckon that Wendy was trying to keep the old story going!

I saw it, it went under the rock, honest!

Freddy wasn't taking any notice, he was too busy hunting 'Ferret Sniffs'!

Holly tried to get him to cover for her. You see she had found a sniff and just had to rub onto her back and said that if Freddy got OTL to look the other way she could have a good roll!

Go on! Get him to look the other way!

Freddy said that he would only do it if Holly gave him her Teeth Cleaning Chew but that was never on, can you imagine Holly giving up her chew!

So, that was it, Holly got told off but she did get a little roll!

On the way back home OTL spotted a fox crossing the road ahead of us and slowed the car down when we got close. The fox was creeping along on the other side of the barrier. We didn't know what she was looking for but it was bound to be something she could eat!

Reminds me of Holly!

Come on Foxy, show yourself!

Well, that was the last we saw of her 'cos she went down into a ditch and under the fence then disappeared!

Well, that was it, back home for a snooze before dinner!

Fred and Wendy climbed into their Cuddle Cup Bed and have been snoring their tails off ever since!

I think that OTL has got gammon tonight and I am a little partial to gammon so I'm looking forward to helping OTL finish it off!

Mind you, I think I will have some competition from Holly Chops, so much for her 'Grumbly Tum'!

See you later!

Luv,

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

A Seriously Lazy Sunday!

Hello Woofers!

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

You know there are some days that are meant for serious laziness!

Today has been one of those days!

It started this morning when Holly and I kicked Old Two Legs out of bed! That means we get to take over the bed, stretch out and finish off the nights sleep while he goes and gives the ferrets a cuddle then has his morning shower!

The sun was hiding behind the clouds but that didn't stop the clouds putting on a show for us!

Now, if we had a Yellow filter...............................!

Miss April found a super ferret sniff on the beach and dug her nose in!

Ooooh! Just get a load of this!

 That was it, May came tearing up the beach and dived into the hole for a good wriggle!

This is just great!

I really don't know how the ferrets get away with it, I mean, if Holly or I did that he'd go potty! He would call us 'Smelly Nelly's' or 'Pongy Pups' but the ferrets get away with it!

Not fair!

Back home it was Lambs Heart for breakfast and while we were eating OTL was clearing ferret cages!

Then, instead of working on the computer he sat down and watched the F1 qualifying!

Seriously lazy!

'ere, there's a sniffy dead bird here, do you think it's worth a roll?

OTL was watching us as we investigated a dead bird that had been washed up on the beach. One look at OTL told us that it would not be a good idea!

OK, so we wandered off down the beach and spotted Miss April with her nose in the sand!

We called out that OTL was watching her but she said that she was digging not rolling!

And she got away with it!

I love digging!

So, here we are, back home, and Holly is sleeping next to the ferret cage, guarding a couple of 'Bonio' biscuits. Just to make sure, she has been growling at the ferrets who were getting too close. OTL told her not to grumble so much 'cos the ferrets only wanted a poo!

We were looking forward to sitting in the garden watching the water feature but the sun has stayed behind the clouds and on top of that it has been raining, OK, not much but enough to have had the windscreen wiper on as we came home.

So, that is it really, a super Lazy Sunday!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's Saturday, the Football starts and then there is F1 Racing!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, this weekend is going to be fun, loads of walks and Football and F1 and The Missus will have to watch it all on recordings 'cos she is out most of the weekend!

We will have fun eating nibbles on the sofa and spreading crumbs all over the carpet!

Now, we read that Izzy's mum is spending all her day on the floor throwing Hamish's toys at the walls! It's a bit much spending all day on you back snoozing, even us woofers don't get that luxury!

Old Two Legs says that when he is feeling achy a large Malt Whisky before bed gets him through the night!

I wonder if a large whisky gets you through the day as well?

This morning we dropped TM off at the village hall and Holly managed to get a run on the newly varnished floor but I had to stay in the car and guard the ferrets.

Down on the beach we met up with Max and Oscar and as normal Max wanted to taste a ferret!

So, that was it, OTL had to carry them both up the grass path until it was safe for them to get back onto the ground again.

Here, wot about this sniff!

 Before that Holly and May were investigating sniffs on the beach and Holly even found a feather from a gull that she tried to throw into the air but it kept on sticking in her whiskers!

After that May headed for the Sea Kale and had a good ferret around looking for mouses or shrews but as normal, nothing!

Come on mouses, I know you are in here!

 Both ferrets tried a bit of rock climbing and ran across the bottom of the Sea Wall while Holly and I crossed the beach and up the concrete stairs.

I'm glad we are roped in!

 Miss April was in fine condition and she ran and walked all the way back to the car!

Back home there was some chicken waiting for us and Holly and I were nose down and tails up!

OTL left us on our own for a while 'cos he had to drop some stuff off but he was back in time to take Fred and Wendy out for a wander at lunch time!

After a dig on the beach we started to head towards the stairs that take us to the grass path, it was then that we noticed Poppy and Bo watching from the Sea Wall!

You have the big one and I'll take the small!

They were trying to decide who has wot ferret so they could take them home with them!

As Holly says, 'Nice idea woofers but they are coming home with us!'

I'm sure they were joking but I know that every Christmas Poppy puts A Ferret on the top of her Christmas List to Father Paws!

Back home both ferrets were a bit warm so they both decided to roll over in the water they spilt from their drinking bowl!

TM came back from her day at the village hall and has immediately gone out again for a meal with her mates!

So, we have the evening with OTL watching the England game on the TV!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another warm day!

Yo Woofers!

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

Well, it has been another warm day today although the sun has been hiding behind the clouds, so the new 'Water Feature' is only dribbling water instead of the healthy flow in the video. I expect that Old Two Legs will be looking into the jar over the weekend!

He has already been getting out the snails that had set up home over the winter!

First thing we were out with the ferrets and Miss May had been getting into trouble again! This time it was her wot got hurt!

You see, May likes to wind up Miss Wendy and the pair end up having a fight through the cage bars. Normally OTL grabs May off the bars before any harm comes to either one but this morning he was a couple of seconds late and May ended up with one of her claws broken. Not serious, but OTL gave her a good check over to make sure there was nothing else wrong, then he put her into the 'Naughty Cage' until she settles down!

Wendy was given the same check over by OTL and found no injuries on her, so May was suffering from a 'Self inflicted' wound!

May said that she was OK but we did notice that she didn't go in for and digging on the beach!

Now little April had a great time digging in the sand knowing that May wouldn't kick her out and pinch the hole!

This is how it's done!

When she finished she had a little rest while I got into trouble!

If you look behind you..............................!

 That April is a right little snitch and OTL told me to stop rolling in a sniff!

So, there we were sitting on the beach waiting for the ferrets who had spotted someone heading our way.

Now, the ferrets and OTL are very watchful when there are woofers around 'cos no one wants to end up like Miss Wilma.

It's OK, it is Max and Oscar!

Mind you, we still have to watch out for Max 'cos he has had a snap at the ferrets before and we wouldn't want the ferrets to return the complement!

April also had a rummage around the Sea Kale plant but couldn't find any shrews or mouses!

I'll be back in a moment!

Back home we got 'Posh Scoff' today and I must say, I'm quite partial to the taste!

Holly on the other paw says that she would rather have 'Real Food' like chicken or lambs heart and stuff like that!

Mind you, that didn't stop her finishing off the bowl!

Lunchtime it was still cloudy but it had warmed up so OTL didn't insist Fred and Wendy walk all the way back to the car. They got a lift in the ferret bag and when we stopped at the bench Holly and I sheltered under the table while Fred, Wendy and OTL had a game!

I was still in the poo 'cos I found a super sniff on the beach and decided that even if OTL was shouting at me, there was no way I was going give up the chance of a good roll in something sniffy!

I just Love Sniffs!

 Fred and Wendy had some fun doing some scrambling over the rocks. OTL says it helps to keep their claws at the correct length, unless, like May, you go in for a bit of fighting through the cage bars!

Never mind rocks, has anyone got a claw file!

Back home OTL got going with the paper shredder getting rid of old paperwork. There was a horrid sound as the shredder decided to fall apart! Well, it was about five years old and I suppose it decided it had enough and wanted a rest!

So, now it rests on the rubbish pile awaiting the dustbin men!

Now, OTL just can't exist without a shredder so off he went to the local stationers and came back with a new shredder that is supposed to be able to shred ten sheets at once and even shred Cd's!

Another thing, it fits neatly next to the desk so Holly's bed can stay where it is!

We are off to see what is for dinner tonight, maybe some venison or sausages or other meaty stuff to make up for the Scoff we had earlier!

Have a good weekend!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

I Love getting Wet!

Hi Woofers!


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


Well, now we know all about Piper! Even better, we will meet next week!


Old Two Legs didn't know that but The Missus like to keep him in 'Mushroom', in the dark all the time, she reckons that is the only way to keep him on his paws!


OTL has another opinion but we will leave that for now!


It hasn't been as hot today and the sun has been hiding behind the clouds but at least it hasn't been raining!


We went out with May and April this morning and April decided she would play 'Hide and Boo'!


So, when OTL put her down on the grass path she ran away into the grass and hid. Now, all OTL has to guide him on her location is the lead he has in his hand!

Sneaky April runs into the grass, the around in a circle twice and then hides.

OTL comes looking and can only find the lead tied around the grass and thinks that April has got out of her harness!

Then behind him he hears.............................BOO!

Gotcha!

 Of course, Miss May just has to try to better that wheeze and 'Does a Freddy' by falling onto the grass and saying that her claw is twisted!

No one believes her, well if we don't believe Freddy then what chance has she got!

Come on Sneaky Knickers, Get Up!

 OTL has been busy today with 'Paperwork' 'cos it time he got all the paperwork together for the accountant. So, Holly and I have been catching up on our snoozing!

Lunchtime Freddy and Wendy came down the beach and we had a game of 'Dig and Whizz' which is great fun 'cos we all go whizzing along the beach and Holly and I have fun jumping over the top of the ferrets!

Watching out for low flying woofers!

 The tide was coming in and I just had to have a splash which was great!

This is Great!

 Not only did I have a splash from the beach but when we got near the car park, I rushed off to the Sea Wall and went in swimming again! This time I got really wet and not only did I get a rub down in the car but I got another when I got home!


We have been standing guard by the pond but there is no signs of any frog or froglets or even tadpoles!


So, we reckon that they have all packed up their bags and headed off to the marshes where there are thousands of frogs croaking their heads off every night!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

A New Use for an Old Whisky Jar!

Yo Woofers!


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

Wot a super hot day it has been today!

The morning run was cooler but it was most enjoyable!

We started off by letting April stay in the ferret bag 'cos she had a bought of coughing which is a result of her heart condition. We haven't heard her cough for a few weeks now, ever since Old Two Legs had increased her diuretic dose by 2.5mg. She has been doing well but this mornings coughing went on for five minutes so the best place was sitting in OTL's hand, inside the bag, with her head poking out the top to see what was happening!

Down on the beach Holly and I got into a game of 'Dig & Whizz' and it wasn't long before May decided she wanted to join in the fun!

Come on Daisy Chops, my go!

 We all had a go and I even started a new hole so we could all have a dig at the same time!

Trouble was, May wanted the hole I was digging, no matter what hole it was!

................and now it's my turn in this one!

 Heading back up the grass path Holly and I stopped for a sniff and May nearly ran into the back of us!

She said we were hanging about too long over the sniffs!

Shift your tails, Ferret coming through!

 Back home OTL cleaned the ferret cages out and when he finished he chanced a look out the window down to the pond and.......................................it was working!

The Whisky Jar was doing just what he planned it to do. A quick call to The Missus and the pair of them were in the garden looking at the new addition to the Pond Furniture!

Allow me to present............ The Stone Whisky Jar

Well, TM was very pleased and even sat outside in the garden listening to the tinkle of the water coming out of the jar and cascading into the pond.

She didn't stay too long 'cos the tinkling sound reminded her she wanted a wee!

Lunchtime it was twenty two degrees outside and both Fred and Wendy decided it was really too hot to do any digging and both blagged a lift back to the bench and from there they walked back to the car.

We got the holes to ourselves!

We were all glad to get back home and both Fred and Wendy almost collapsed into the water bowl for a swim!

It didn't take long for them to cool down and soon they had had a bite to eat and then off to have a well earned snooze!

Hey! What's this about Archie Babe getting another bed? Buying it for your Boy is just an excuse, you really need a fourth bed!

Another thing, Miss Sue, who or wot is this Piper? We haven't heard anything about Piper, is it anything to do with Bagpipes?

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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