He left us Again!

Hello Woofers!

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

OK, so we knew he was going to the Kent County Show on his own today but it is just not the same here when he goes! Mind you, he has brought back a load of photographs of some of the stuff he saw today, no boats or ships, just country things!

A HeLand Coo Burger on legs?

 There is of course the troublesome coo!

I told you, I Don't Do Burgers!

The sheep were easier to handle and this one got third place!

No Promise me, No Kebabs!

The goats were all cute looking and this on offered Old Two Legs a chew of his dinner!

Wanna Mouthful?

There were some really cute ones on show, this is a Guernsey Gold, or was it a Golden Guernsey?

Wot you doing Mister?

OTL said there were some terrible machines in use down in the sheep area. This sheep wouldn't stand still so it got put into this metal contraption. I would have told her that she should try to Poodle Parlour and see the machines we have to put up with!

OK, I give up, I'll tell you anything you want to know!

This little Jacob sheep saw what was happening and stood perfectly still ready to get a brush before going into the ring!

Honest, I won't move a hoof!

This Peregrine Falcon was happy letting the wind blow through her feathers!

Yeah Man, this is Cool!

There were people making Horse Shoes but it looked like very hot work!

Is his head really alight?

There were motorcyclist jumping over big gaps and trying to hang onto their bikes. I reckon they would be in trouble if a police man saw what they were doing!

A Runaway Bike!

Of course, OTL stopped at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue stand and cuddled some ferrets and played with others!

He got a Text from The Missus who told him he can't have any more!

I just Love this stuff!

OTL reckons he bumped into someone famous, but couldn't remember his name!

I'm OK with dogs, it's ferrets I stay away from!

So, OTL is back home now and we are sorting out a suitable bag and water bottle and water bowl to take with us tomorrow. We have been told there is a stand that does 'Doggy Treats', so, you know where we will be stopping first thing tomorrow!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Sun shine all today!

Hello Woofers!

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

Wot a super day today! It has been sun shine from start to finish!

Old Two Legs was up earlier than usual 'cos he had some work to do that today was the last opportunity he had to get it all done!

Down on the beach we spotted a 'Pleasure Boat' heading out of the Medway and charging off to Southend on Sea for a day of fun and frolics!

Off for a day in Southend

Back home we left OTL to get on with his job list!

He was saying that tomorrow The Missus will be taking us out for our walks 'cos he was heading off to the Kent County Show for a day of photography all on his own!

He has said that he will take us with him on Saturday and on Sunday TM will be coming with us as well!

OTL says there are some ferrets he wants to show her!

Lunchtime the tide was in and I went in swimming, just to cool off!

What I didn't see was Old Holly Chops having a little paddle just to cool her paws off!

She said that the stones on the beach were too hot to walk on!

That's better!

 I couldn't find a stick for OTL to throw so I went in hunting sea weed! Trouble is, sea weed tastes too salty for me and I spat it out as soon as I got back to shore!

I think I prefer a stick next time!

Back home we collapsed into a shady corner for a snooze until dinner time!

TM is planning to go out to one of her 'Evening Crops' so that means we get to spend some time stretched out on the sofa chewing on a couple of carrots!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Holly gets her paws wet!

Hi Woofers!

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


Hasn't it been warm today? Old Two Legs was planning to give the old Little Car a wash before sending it off to get it's MOT on Monday but OTL said it was just too hot!


So he left it on the drive and has put off the job until tomorrow!


He's good at putting off jobs, he says it's a skill he has learnt in the past!


The Missus just calls him a Lazy Woofer, or some thing like that!

Down on the beach first thing, we all had a game of 'Dig and Whiz' but the ferrets had their game while Holly Chops and I had our own game!

Getting ready for a Whizz!

Holly and I are having our game near to a plastic bag full of some thing sniffy that was left by the tide!

We had a sniff and then stayed well away!

Holly Chops doing a Whizz!

 Being warm, Miss April can't rush and tear around as much as May, so she gets a chance to have a little carry until she feels like another run!

OTL has his hand inside the bag and April is sitting in OTL's hand and is keeping an eye on what is going on around her!

Miss April keeping an eye on what is happening!

 Back home OTL was in 'Manufacturing Mode' so that left us with plenty of time for a snooze!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again and Holly got all big and brave 'cos she went into the puddles on the shore and had a sniff at something that was wriggling in the mud!

Look! It's Wriggling!

 The afternoon has been just too hot to do anything. So the car remains unwashed and we have all been catching up on the snoozing!

I wonder if Little Bella has been running circles around Hamish and Izzy?

Holly and I reckon that Archie Babe is a lucky woofer having all those frogs to chase, we haven't seen a frog or tadpole in the pond, just loads of snails and wriggly things!

We are going to see what is cooking, both Holly and I could do with a nibble!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

We meet a couple of Shipwrecked Sailors!

Hello Woofers!

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

What fun today has been, I've managed to tick off another boat and Holly tries to get a job as a 'Sea Dog'!

We were up early 'cos The Missus had invited Auntie Barbara for a days messing about with the card stuff!

We headed down to the beach and what did we see?

A Shipwrecked Sailor!

Ahoy Matey! Run out of water?

 It seems that they were on their way to Southend but had some trouble with the propeller and had to put ashore for some repairs!

That was last night and they camped overnight on the Sea Wall.

They went Oooh! and Aaah! At the ferrets and even gave Holly a stroke!

When we came back at lunchtime, they were getting ready to leave for a trip to Sheerness to top up on fuel!

Holly had a chat with the Captain and was invited to come on a trip across the Medway and act as the 'Old Sea Dog'!

Let me think about this!

I told her to go but the ferrets reminded that under the keel was a load of deep, wet, water!

She had a think and watched me splashing in the water and decided that she was going to become a 'Land Lubber'!

Thanks for the offer but No Thanks!

 After that I suggested she gets her tail wet by coming in for a dip but she refused that idea as well!

Come on in!

 After I got out of the water OTL got the book out and we ticked off the 'RIB' boat and OTL explained that RIB was short for Rigid Inflatable Boat!

Getting ready for a launching the RIB!

OTL spent the afternoon 'Manufacturing' while Holly and I polished of a big bowl of chicken each and crept off to bed for a well earned snooze.

Holly and I got a Chew as a treat for eating all our dinner but to be honest, both Holly and I were too full up to eat it.

Holly put hers down and rested her chin on it while I gave mine to OTL to put in a 'Safe Place' until I fancy a nibble later on tonight!

All the ferrets are fast asleep, so I'm off downstairs to see what is happening!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A New Woofer!

Hello my merry Woofers!

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



Now, first of all, sit up straight and listen!



We have a new Woofer to say hello to!



May I introduce little Miss Bella, the latest addition to the Hamish & Izzy family!

Miss Bella!

Wot a little darling!


We look forward to meeting her if she comes down this end of the world or maybe we will meet when we go North later this year!



Holly was playing 'Hard to Get' when she saw Bert on the Sea Wall. Poor lad was all excited and looking forward to rubbing noses but Holly stayed on the beach and wiggled her tail at him!

I'll wind him up today!

We saw a ship sailing by but couldn't properly identify it, Old Two Legs said it looked like a Sea Going Tug but couldn't be 100% sure! Maybe next time we'll get a better view!

A possible Sea Tug.

In the afternoon we saw a big container ship heading up the Thames, big but not the biggest we have seen!

Heading up the Thames to Tilbury Container Docks.

One of the best things was the tide, it was right in and just calling out for a swim!

You just can't beat a cooling swim!

I was straight in and splashing about chasing twigs that OTL had found on the beach!



Holly decided to keep out and although they were warm both ferrets said they prefer a shady spot under the Sea Kale Plant!


This afternoon OTL headed off to see the Accountant to take a load of paper for him to sort out, something called VAT!


We decided to stay at home but we wished we hadn't 'cos OTL stopped off at the Doggy Shop!


He loaded up with 'Pet Disinfectant' and Doggy Biscuits and Chicken Strips, for the ferrets.


Then he got a whacking big bed that is big enough for both Holly and me to lay down in, at the same time!


So now it looks like we are banned to the back seat with the ferrets!

Mind you, we will be able to transfer it to the Big Car when we go on holiday!

Now we are off to see if we can mug OTL for some of his Bambi Burgers!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Home Alone Again!

Hi Woofers!

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

Today should have been a lazy day, weeing, pooing and snoozing with a slight pause for some nibbles!

Instead what did we get?

It started off with Miss May getting lost, well, she was nowhere to be seen this morning after getting out of the cage for breakfast. It wasn't until Old Two Legs heard some noise coming from the office rubbish bin!

Loads a Stuff in Here!

Of course it was a game trying to get May out of the bin! Once she was extracted and dug out of the plastic bags she was all for going back in again!

Come on! I want to get back in again!

 By the time she had finished she was ready for the final treat, a Slurp of Ferretone!

Come on, get the bottle out!

 OTL left the bottle next to the post weighing machine and by the time she had finished, the cap was bone dry!

This is the best treat!

We headed off to the beach and I spotted the best ship this week!

It's a Cruse Liner!

If you look carefully on the bows you can see 'The World', dunno if it's called that though!

The World heading up The Thames!

We got back and after cleaning the ferret cages both OTL and The Missus said 'Bye Bye' and flew out the door!

 We sat up at the window for a bit but they didn't come back. I went off to snooze on OTL's trousers he had left on the bed. Holly stayed looking out the window for half an hour before joining me on the bed!

Waiting for my Two Legs to come back!

 Auntie Sheila came over to let us out in the garden for a wee but it wasn't really the same as being down the beach!

It seems that TM and OTL were off to see young Dawn christened, do you know that TM is a 'Great Grandmother' and OTL is a 'Great Grandfather' but by marriage only!

Come on Great Grandfather get the font ready, I want a paddle!

It wasn't too long before they arrived back home and Holly and I went a little potty as they came through the door!

OTL gathered up the ferrets and we were straight out for a walk along the beach!

It was all thirsty work but very enjoyable!

I really need this!

 In the new car we are banned to the back seat, which is folded flat! OTL says that he will get a Woofer Bed to make the ride a little softer. Let's face it, anything is softer than a Doggy Towel!

A New Car, you'd have thought he would have got a proper bed for us!

 Well, that's it for now, we are off to watch the F1 race that TM recorded today.

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A New Car and OTL looks at New Ferrets!

Hello all you Woofers!

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

It's been an 'Odd Ball' type of day today!

We started off down the beach this morning and you know what? There were no ships passing by!

I see no ships!

 Holly and I decided that as the tide was out and the ferrets were digging holes, we would have a rest on the beach and enjoy the sun!

Pass the Factor 35 Sis!

 Back home Old Two Legs finished the cage cleaning and 'De Poo'ing' then went down to watch the F1 practise but I just fancied another trip down the beach!

So, I started to 'Talk' to OTL!

It's a special sort of voice I put on and to anyone else it would sound like 'Yoururinnyummarniner' but OTL knows it means 'I wanna go our 'cos I'm bored with this motor racing and on top of that I fancy a wee'!

So, off we went!

I was rewarded with another boat and this one is classed as a 'Leisure Craft', so that's another Tick in the book!

Holly and I did our 'Waving' bit but there was no response from the Captain!

Too posh to wave at us!

 I went off to have a dip while Fred and Wendy were rooting about in the Sea Kale plant looking for Shrews that were supposed to live there, according to Miss May that is!

I wonder if there are any crocodiles here?

 After getting back home we expected OTL to fall asleep in front of the TV but instead he waved us 'Good Bye' and headed off to a local school where they don't allow dogs!

He met up with Roy and Christine from the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue who were putting on a Ferret Racing Demo and of course, talking about how wonderful ferrets were!

OTL didn't take his camera, just his phone, but he got a shot of this young ferret who pinched the bottle of Ferret Oil and refused to give it back!

Got it!

 OTL said that he had cuddled some very young ferrets, all of nine weeks old and of course, he fell in love with them and just couldn't stop himself from giving each of them a cuddle!

The Missus had told OTL that he could go and see Roy and Christine to pass over the donation to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue from The Allhallows Croppers who did that Card O Thong thingy! Plus there were donations from Elaine (Archie's Mum) and Jeanette (Izzy and Hamish's Mum).

Roy and Chris said that they were so grateful for the cheque and it would help so much with the upkeep of the 'Rescue'!

OTL came home and showed us some pictures of the ferrets and he said that he had been given a 'New Sort of Ferret' that was coming to live with us and share Holly and my bed at night!

Then OTL showed us a picture of this 'New Ferret'!

He is sleeping on his own tonight!

Then Holly and I found out it was a 'Tricksie' program OTL had got on his mobile phone and he was just 'Pulling Our Tail'!

Just wait until dinner time!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A New Ship and a New Car!

Hello Woofers!

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

Exciting times here in a cloudy and damp North Kent!

Down on the beach I spotted another boat charging up the Medway!

It was a RNLI boat but unfortunately we couldn't see the name only the number 2 on the bow!

I'm sure they waved at us!

Holly was jumping up and down and I stood on my back legs and we waved at them as they went past and Holly reckons they waved back!

Then it started to rain, so once again, a quick wee and a poo and back to the car!

We had to get back home 'cos a Heating Engineer was due to arrive to look for a leak in the system, Old Two Legs has been searching for ages but so far we have found nothing!

May and April were charging about the lounge when he arrived and OTL had to do some quick 'Ferret Collecting' before he was allowed in the front door!

Well, after loads of looking and tapping pipes and poking they still couldn't find a leak!

Now they are talking about replacing all the old pipes in the heating system!

Lunchtime it was all rush and tear again 'cos Old Two Legs had to call into one of his customers before collecting The Missus and heading off to collect the new car!

Holly and I decided to stay at home and wait until they got home before viewing the new car!

We were up at the  window watching out for them when first arrived OTL and parked the big car in front of the house and then TM pulled into the road and we got a look at the new car!

Well, it is White and it is about the same size as the old one but it lacks the dirt and mud!

OTL said that a couple of runs down to the beach will cure that 'cos the farmer has been driving his tractor all over the fields and now has left mud all over the road!

We are going to try it out tomorrow morning as we go for the morning walk, let's hope the rain holds off  'cos we could end up with muddy paws all over the car seats!

We are off now to hunt for frogs, we reckon it is about time they showed up on the Lilly Pads!

Archie Babe is so lucky to have thousands of them in his garden, we reckon it might be the local cats who have been lurking in our garden at night that has driven off all the frogs!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another tick off the list!

Hello Woofers!

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

Didn't it rain this morning?

We hung about before going out and Old Two Legs was busy studying the radar looking for a 'Window' in the rain clouds.

We got down to the car park and waited five minutes before setting off down to the beach.

We never got down to the beach, we did a quick wee and a poo and headed back to the car!

It was just too wet!

Lunchtime the rain had stopped so we picked up Fred and Wendy and headed off to have a dig in the sand!

Freddy Boy was the first on the beach and started to dig straight away!

OK, I'm first!

 Then little Wendy was down and digging but managed to get some sand up her nose which made her sneeze!

This sand gets everywhere!

  It wasn't raining but there were dark clouds blowing over the top of us!

Impending rain!

 Once off the beach both ferrets had a great time rolling in the grass and sniffing the sniffs!

Then they chased each other almost all the way back to the car park!

Come on, I'll race you down to the car park!

 Holly was playing 'Hide n Seek' and ducked down in the 'outlet channel' in the sea wall.

OTL spotted her!

Bet you can't see me!

I was keeping an eye open for any new ships out on the sea and I spotted what looks like a 'Ro-Ro'.

This is a small ship that is used as a car transporter and the vehicles Roll on and Roll off, hence the name of 'Ro-Ro'!

Another tick off the ship list!

OTL went off this afternoon to get some paperwork down to the car people. That way when he goes down to pick it up tomorrow, the car will be fully insured!

Holly and I are looking forward to having a ride in the new car but OTL says we got to have clean paws before we will be allowed inside!

Dirty paws? Us? Never!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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