Wot a Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

It has been a super sunny day today and Old Two Legs has been suffering from his Hay Fever!

Where we go for a walk down to the beach the local parish council have been out cutting the grass. This means that the pollen has been blown up into the air and because there is little wind, it drops back down again to rest on the cut grass.

Now, that's OK but when you walk on the grass, you blow the pollen up into the air again and straight up OTL's nose and into his eyes and mouth.

Result?

He has been sneezing his tail off all day!

When he get going it can sound like thunder!

Last week they blew down the last building at the Power Station and you know what? OTL sneeze is louder!

I wonder if we should give him the job of blowing down the chimney!

OK, your next!
 Down on the beach OTL took a photo of the sky and clouds and on inspection we found that a UFO had been captured!

We have zoomed up the picture and reckon it is a bumble bee flying past!

An Unidentified Flying (Buzzing) Object!
Because it was so warm today, OTL decided to let the ferrets get back into the bag if they got too hot. Miss April was the first one back and stayed in the bag, sitting in OTL's cupped hand, all the way back to the bench. It was only then that she decided to get back down for a wee and a poo before getting back to the car!

I want a lift!
 Lunch time it was even warmer and Freddy took full advantage of the 'Lift Option' and got carried all the way back to the bench!

Miss Wendy said that he was a Lazy Ferret who needed the exercise 'cos his tummy is too large!

She showed him up by running almost all the way back to the car!

Where is the Yellow Filter?
  Today the clouds we quite dramatic and OTL said he should have brought his B&W camera but as he wasn't wearing his coat, there was nowhere to keep the camera, the ferrets having taken over the 'Ferret Bag!

So, you will have to look at the picture and pretend that it is in B&W and it looks 'Dramatic'!

Not sure what the weather is going to be tomorrow, sunny we hope and OTL is going to charge up the batteries in his B&W camera, just in case the clouds get all 'Dramatic'!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Freddy finds out what a puddle is for!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a glorious day it has been today, loads of sunshine, no storms and plenty of sand to dig in!

I see May is digging another hole!
Even little April joined in the fun!

She decided that a lift in the ferret bag was a good idea, so, while she was looking at the world over the top of the bag, Miss May was rampaging all over the beach!

Watch it, she's started to look our way!
When we got back home, The Missus grabbed the car and headed off to do some shopping while Old Two Legs got going with the ferret cage cleaning!

Freddy just loves his time out of the cage while OTL is doing the 'House Work'.

He chases Wendy up and down the stairs and she sometimes attacks him and runs away, looking over her shoulder, just to make sure he is following!

OTL says she is a 'Right Tart' just like Holly Dog!

We got out again at lunchtime and headed down to the beach but today the tide was well out and I didn't get a swim!

If only that tide would hurry up!
 I was thinking how I could get a paddle when young Freddy came along the Sea Wall and announced that he was just Too Hot!

He asked just how a ferret could cool down before he got home.

Then I had an idea!

Stick with me Freddy, I've got an idea!
 With all this rain we have had over the last few days, there has been some deep puddles left on the roads and the grass path, so, on our way back to the car I told Fred and Wendy to have a swim in the puddles!

Freddy galloped down the hill with Wendy on his heels and then they both went splosh!


I could get used to this!
 Wendy rolled over, got soaking wet all over then raced out of the puddle for a roll in the grass leaving Freddy to swim up and down the puddle!

Now I'm going to try breast stroke!
Back in the car we had to give them both a rub down but OTL just couldn't wipe the grin off Freddy's chops!

Holly and I decided to stay at home while OTL went off to get the big car. You know what? He was crying all the way home!

The weekend is here, so we plan to have some fun. OTL says he may open up another bottle of whisky to celebrate the results of the referendum. He said that back in 1975 he voted for  joining but says that it hasn't been such a big deal and now he reckons we can get back to making Britain 'Great' again!

Me? I know nothing, as long as I can get my nibbles and a walk, I'm OK!

See you tomorrow!

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

We Need an Ark or Two!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a night!

We all went to bed at the normal time last night but as we were sniffing our way around the garden Holly noticed that the evening light was 'Strange'.

Old Two Legs said it maybe had something to do with the coming thunder storms but we couldn't see anything on the horizon so we headed off to bed leaving the thunder storms to play with the clouds!

Around three or four this morning there was an enormous thunder storm over the top of us!

There was crashing and banging and lightening and rain.

In fact there was a lot of rain, masses of rain and thunder and lightening!

The Missus and Holly got up to watch it while OTL and I just rolled over and carried on snoozing!

When we did finally get up we saw that the pond was full to the brim!

The ferrets said they didn't hear anything, just like OTL, they go into a deep sleep!

We went down the beach and Holly was looking at the water, which was at low tide, and reckoned that the amount of rain we had this morning she had expected the water to be up to the Sea Wall!

Not much change here!
 Mind you, there were puddles all over the place on the grass paths. Even Holly had to get her paws wet!

We spotted a rabbit ahead of us but because the ground was all wet and soggy we didn't even bother with chase!

Nah! Not worth getting wet paws over!
 We had to go through some big puddles on the way to the beach and outside the Mini Two Legs School there was puddle big enough to float a boat on!

OTL said that what we needed was an Ark!

Launch HMS Ark!
 Lunchtime was no improvement and the tide was still out. It was also very muggy, just like it is before a storm!

I got down to the beach first and just couldn't resist a paddle, well, a deep paddle, well OK, A SWIM!

Ooooh! I need this!
OTL got down to the beach with the ferrets and once they were sorted and digging holes, OTL threw a stone into the water and told me to 'Find It'!

but It's Sunk!
Holly, who was sitting on the Sea Wall, was highly amused and called out that if we stay any longer we will all get wet through to the skin!

What a Bozo, swimming in this weather!
Back home to find out that the big car was not going to be finished, some sort of 'Wrong Delivery' or summat!

The Missus wasn't too happy about that 'cos tomorrow we were going to do another video on 'Glue Slapping With a Wet Fish' or something like that, or maybe it was 'Slapping a Wet Fish with Glue and Glitter'!

Who knows, if she gets her act together we could still do it and be home in time for tea!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Home Alone Again!

Hi Woofers!

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

Today has been a BORING DAY!

Old Two Legs had to take the big car to the menders this morning to get it fixed but he didn't let me know just how early he had to be up!

I mean, there we were at three in the morning woofing off a couple of cats in the garden when who should come down the stairs?

It was The Missus!

She was not a Happy Puppy being woken at such a time!

OTL was fast asleep, getting his strength up to get out of bed at five!

By six we were out in the small car heading for the beach, just Holly and I 'cos the ferrets were all asleep and refused to get up so early!

Back home by seven and then OTL and TM were out again leaving us woofers to guard the house!

By the time they got back, Holly and I were just having a little snooze after our early start!

We got some Posh Scoff and while we were eating it, the pair of them sneaked out again to do some shopping!

I mean, this is just not on!

Back they came at around three and Holly, Fred, Wendy and I got a run out down the beach!

Poor May and April just got a rampage around the house instead of a trip down the beach, the were not Happy Ferrets!

On top of all that disturbance in the force, they didn't get a run out and had to spend all day kicking the poo pot around the cage!

Well, a ferret has to have some way of making a little noise!

OTL, being in such a rush forgot to take the camera out with him. This morning it was because he was still half asleep and this afternoon 'cos he totally forgot it!

Tomorrow he goes to pick the big car up, so we will have to give him lots of cuddles to get him to stop crying!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Sand Holes R Us!

Hello Woofers!

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

Yippee!  It has been sunny again today! Just to balance it all out, the Pollen Count has been through the roof!

We know that 'cos Old Two Legs has been sneezing his head off all day!

Poor Lad!

It's a good job that Woofers and Ferrets don't suffer from Hay fever!

Down on the beach it was just great with a hot sun on our backs!

Morning Sun!
 We all had a good dig in the sand and May and April had a wonderful time digging a whopping great hole so big they almost disappeared!

Ferrets in dar hole!
 Holly and I got into the swing as well and were digging and rolling in the sand!

Sand Shovelling!
 Back home OTL has been hiding in the office all day trying to keep out of the pollen that has been making him sneezing his tail off!

Lunchtime we took him out again and as the tide was in that was a good excuse to go in for a super cooling swim!

This is the business!
 Fred and Wendy didn't go in for a swim and tried to keep in the shade until they got to the grass where they both hid under the grass to cool down!

That's it, keep to the wall!
 We saw a big ship heading up the Thames and it was carrying four big cranes!

Steady as you go Number One!
 Back home we all headed for a shady spot for a snooze and Freddy didn't move all afternoon! Wendy tucked herself under the blanket and didn't move at all!

Holly spent the afternoon on the sofa guarding her Bonio Biscuit while I stayed with OTL in the office.

Tomorrow we are off early to take the big car in for some repairs so we will be up and out before we normally wake up!

That's going to be hard!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Loadsarain!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a change from yesterday It was all sunshine and Factor 35 and today it's Trench Foot and soggy tails!

Yesterday, as the sun disappeared over the top of the house, Old Two Legs took some pictures of the pond.

OK, Wot are we looking at?
 Well, The Missus was out yesterday counting the flower buds on the Water Lilly plants and she reckons she could see eleven of them!

It was a shame that the sun had gone over the roof 'cos that means the jar wasn't dispensing water into the pond!
Blooms beginning to burst!
 The yellow and white blooms were ahead of the pink ones but we could see them underneath the Lilly Pads (leaves)!

Boo!
 This morning we were out early this morning but we still had to wear out rain coats. The ferrets didn't have rain coats so April climbed back into the ferret bag and May tried to cover herself with sea weed to keep the rain off her back!

Does my butt look big in this?
 The rain kept on falling so we didn't hang about. April stayed in the bag until we got to the bench, then she ran all the way back to the car!

Holly and I were right behind her and May and we all got a rub down with the Doggy Towel and even OTL gave his legs a rub!

Lunchtime walk was late 'cos OTL reckons he could see a 'Window' in the rain and it might be long enough to allow us a dry run!

Weeell, it sort of worked!

We drove through rain all the way down there and there were loads of large puddles that we splashed through! It was still raining when we got to the car park but it was slowly getting drier as we sat there looking to see if the rabbits were about!

No rabbits, but the rain stopped and off we went!

Down on the beach the ferrets got going on a fine looking trench!

Even Holly was impressed and asked if she could lend a paw!

Want any help?
I was down the other end of the beach having a sniff and a swim!

We headed back to the car and as we went back the rain started again, and it got heavier as we got closer to the car!

Fancy a swim Holly Chops?
By the time we got back to the car we were all wet again! I did say to Holly that she couldn't get any wetter if she had joined me for a dip!

Back home we got dried again by TM who was ready with the Doggy Towel!

We had some of the Posh Doggy Scoff and settled down for an afternoon snooze with chew beside our paw!

Claws crossed we may get some sunshine! Well, so far today we have had nearly thirteen millimetre of rain today and that doesn't include what is coming after the blog gets published!

Maybe tomorrow OTL will try again to photograph the Lilly Blooms!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Loadsasunshine!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what a day! It has been sunshine and hay fever all day today!

We were out early this morning with May and April and it was an almost cloudless sky!

Sunshine!
 We were down the beach and both ferrets had a great time on the digging holes and diving under the sea weed looking for monsters and stuff like that!

I can sniff a monster here!
 Miss May had a few words to say about the Mucky Two Legs who leave all the rubbish on the beach!

Why mess the beach up with this junk, especially as there is a rubbish bin over there?
 Holly and I were keeping a look out for any strangers as spotted young Barney II who was tearing along the Sea Wall to say 'Hello' to us and OTL!

Yep! That looks like Barney!
 Back home OTL had some cards and a prezzie to open but said that he couldn't do that until the ferret cages were cleaned out!

We reckon that secretly he just loves his morning game of 'Ferret Poo Shoveling'!

While he is doing that the ferrets take turns in rampaging around the house and one of the favourite spots it where the Ferretone Bottle is, just so they can slurp the drips off the lid!


Licky, Licky, Licky, Lick, Lick!
 When OTL went to pick The Missus up from the village hall after her 'Glue & Glitter day, he also picked up a travelling cage for the ferrets. A present from Margaret who comes to the Crop!

Well, when Fred and Wendy found it they had a great game chasing in and out and having a tussle inside!

OTL said that now he could use that to take all four ferrets out for a walk together!

Four ferrets and two dogs, Nah! Even he wouldn't try that!

Gotcha!
 Lunchtime TM came out with us for a walk and spent some time throwing sticks into the water for me. She was throwing them a bit further than OTL does and I had to swim all the way out into the middle of the sea just to get the stick!

Blooming Heck! That is half way to Essex!
OTL said that he was 'Keeping and eye on me' just in case I needed rescuing, he said he would throw TM in to the water to get me!

You know, it was so warm that the ferrets had to be carried most of the way back to the car!

Holly and I said we would try pulling that trick next time, you know, roll on our backs, stick our legs up in the air and say that we can't walk another step!

OTL has been promised venison steak tonight as a Fathers Day Treat. Holly and I both love venison especially when it is dipped into an egg yoke and has eggy all over it!

Yum! Yum!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It has stopped raining!

Hi Woofers!

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

You know what? The rain has stopped! Well, just before we left home there was some rain drops falling into the pond but when we got out the front door, nothing!

It was over cast but that was a lot better than horizontal rain!

Another good thing was the fact we didn't have to engage in any speed weeing!

When we got out of the car, Holly went off sniffing the rubbish the night time visitors had left on the ground, you know, Burger Bar paper and stuff like that, messy Two Legs!

I, on the other paw went off hunting rabbit!

There I was slowly stalking this rabbit that seemed to have frozen solid in the grass. I was slowly putting one paw down and then another and still the rabbit didn't move!

That was until Old Two Legs and the ferrets came up to tell me we were heading off.

At that point the rabbit came alive and disappeared into the bushes!

Slowly, Slowly Catchy Rabbit!
Down on the beach there were some new sniffs that had been washed up on the tide, interesting to sniff but not worth a roll, if you know what I mean!

Yeah! It sort of sniffs of crab poo!
 Miss May found the drain hole that had been washed clear of sand and stones. She said she could sniff rats and stuff up the hole and wanted to go in and investigate but OTL said we didn't have all day to wait around for her so she got picked up!

May was not a 'Happy Ferret'!

Come on! Let me in there, I'll soon sort them out!
 In the distance we saw one of the Wormy Men all on his own looking for worms. Due to the amount of rain we have had lately, the Wormy Men had stayed at home polishing up their forks!

Come on Wormys, WM gotta shining fork!
 As we headed back to the car we came across Sid the Sprinting Slug who was out on a training run. He is expecting to get called up for the Olympics in the near future!

Good Luck Sid!
 He didn't hang about and was off like a rocket!

 Lunchtime I managed a swim in the sea as the tide was in. As normal, Holly stayed well out of the way, that was until she sneaked in and pinched the stick OTL was throwing for me!

Holly, waiting for the stick!
 Although it wasn't cold, I was glad when we got back to the car 'cos OTL gave me a good rub down with the Doggy Towel to get rid of most of the water from my back and tummy.

It was better when we got home 'cos he did it again with a clean dry towel!

We all settled down to watch the F1 Practise and then the Qualifying. That race track is rather tight on some of the bends and Holly says there will be some fun and games when the race gets started tomorrow!

OTL has told us the car is coloured White, 'cos we had a choice of white or white! He says it is nothing to get too excited about, it's a 'Bog Standard' replacement for the small car that we have now had for eleven years and while the small car is still OK and works well, OTL had instructions from the accountant to spend some money before the Tax Man gets his grubby fingers on it!

We have never seen a Tax Man so we can't confirm if he has grubby fingers but if the accountant says so then we believe him!

OK, dinner is being cooked so we are off for some serious mugging!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

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.
