It's a Yellow Filter Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Phew! Wot a muggy day it's been down here!

Last night we had trouble sleeping, it was just too hot!

We couldn't wait until morning came and it was time to get out for a walk with the ferrets!

Down on the beach I spotted a couple of ships tied up to Sheerness Docks. One was a 'Floating Brick' full of cars.

Another Floating Brick!

 The other one was a 'Banana Boat'!

You could tell that 'cos the ship had the name of the company on the side, 'Chiquita', they are a big supplier of Bananas world wide!

Hey! Mr Tally Man, tally me Banana!

 Holly said that The Missus has eaten bananas and offered he a nibble but they didn't taste nice!

We didn't hang about cos the ferrets were feeling a bit hot and spent a lot of the times sitting in the bag and looking out the top!

Back home Holly and I got a bowl of chicken waiting for us. Holly said she was too hot to eat and she'll save it for this evening. I got through half of the bowl before giving up!

Around lunch time it was getting very muggy and Old Two Legs decided to leave the ferrets at home and the help them keep cool, he soaked a couple of towels and draped them over the cages to keep the temperature down!

The sky was sort of cloudy so OTL decided to take the Yellow Filter with us!

A Good Yellow Filter Day!

 As we were walking along the Sea Wall there was a terrible noise coming from the beach, it was a Pug type of woofer with a 'woof' bigger than the beach!

The Two Legs who owned her called out to her ...........Holly!

Now, isn't it strange that the loudest woofer is always called Holly!

Gawd! Wot a Noise!

 When we got to 'Our' beach, we met up with Darcy who had found a tennis ball and was having fun chasing it!

I decided to join in the fun and after a quick dip I was chasing the ball when it got thrown into the water!


Now, Darcy wasn't fast when chasing the ball but she almost all of the time managed to pick up the ball, that's 'cos her mouth was bigger than mine!

Gerroffthisismyball!

 Mind you, it wasn't like that all the time. When the ball was up against the sea weed, I managed to grab it and get back to the beach before her!

Beat Ya! Beat Ya!

Darcy is a gentle woofer and she just loves OTL and didn't mind me playing with her ball!

Back at the car I got a good rub down with the doggy towel and we were off home in time to pick up TM from the village hall after her 'Master Class'!

Not sure what OTL is getting tonight but you can be sure we will help him eat it!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another Sun Shiny Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it has been a super day today. This morning Old Two Legs stayed in bed a whole thirty minutes longer than normal!

We didn't mind 'cos it is Saturday and The Missus had left good and early to get her 'Master Class' set up.

There is always the tables to put up and today there was a mountain of MDF boards and Butterfly Cutouts to get onto the tables as well!

Down on the beach there were no woofers Two Legs or Rabbits!

However, there was just one 'Pleasure Craft' sailing across the front of the Wind Powered Generators off the coast of Herne Bay!

Mind the Whirly Things!

 Holly and I had a go at digging while April stayed tucked up in the ferret bag!

Miss May had a big roll in the Sea Kale plants up by the Sea Wall. There is some sort of sniff that really gets her going!

Oooh! This is GOOOOOOD!

Back home Freddy and Wendy had a super game of 'Tickle Tums' with OTL, at one time he had both ferrets on their backs, tickling their tums at the same time!

Both ferrets were laughing their tails off!

It was extra hot at lunchtime so OTL took us down the beach but in a different place to normal. You see he says that the ferrets could get too hot too quickly.

We all had a run on the grass path and then onto the beach.

Freddy spotted a waspy sort of insect and tried creeping up on it but OTL said he should leave it along 'cos he may get stung!

I reckon I could get this one!

Holly and I stayed up on the Sea Wall while OTL took the ferrets down to the edge of the beach.

The tide was out but the stones and mud were still wet and both ferrets had a little paddle just to cool their paws off!

Yeah! Cool and I can rest my tummy on them as well!

Freddy, being Freddy, decided to have a little paddle in the mud and then wash it off in the puddles!

He said he doesn't mind the mud 'cos the water was still cool!

I think I've got mud on my tail!

Because of the heat, we didn't stay too long and when we got back to the car OTL gave the ferrets a bowl of water to drink then after he sloshed water all over the ferrets backs and around their tummy's just to keep them cool!

Holly and I had a good slurp then retired to the bed for a rest!

Around four, OTL had to go and pick up TM from the hall. She said that they all had a great day and the 'Girls' had produced some great work!

OTL has got curry tonight so other than a nibble of Nan Bread I suppose we will have to put up with our 'Posh Scoff'!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Super Warm Day!

Wot Ho Woofers!

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

It has been a super warm day today a real summer type day!

Unfortunately the tide was out so I couldn't dive in for a swim!

Looking across the water towards Sheerness I spotted a car transporter ship. It looked a strange ship, a bit like a floating house brick!

If you didn't know, you'd think that the ship had a propeller sticking out of the top!

However, we all know it is a wind powered generator sitting on the dock!

A Big Floating Brick!

Holly Dog said she could really do with a dip in the water to cool off!

Yeah! In your dreams! I reckon at the first sign of water Holly would be off like a rocket!

It is too warm to play!

 Lunchtime Fred and Wendy were having a great time on the beach digging holes. Freddy says that to keep cool in this weather you should dig a deep hole and then fall asleep!

This Hole Digging is hot work!

 A short while ago Old Two Legs and The Missus went to the christening of one of their
Great-Grand-Children and her name is Dawn.

So, Hello Dawn!

Is that a 105mm Lens?

 She certainly looks wide awake and interested in everything going on around her!

Dawn and Mummy!

 OTL had taken some pictures at the wedding and now the Brides Maids came back for Dawns Christening

All together, Cheeeeese!

OTL has been playing with a new bit of computer gizmo thingy that changes skin tone and does things to the eyes as well. So, here is the 'Supermodel' mode!

You know last night OTL got a Kofti Kebab? Well, so did TM, Holly and I had a great time going from one to the other mugging them for bits of kebab!

Not sure what is on the menu tonight but we will be doing our best to repeat our success of last night!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Pass the Tissues, OTL's got his wallet out again!

Hello Woofers!

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

You know sometimes we feel sorry for Old Two Legs and other times we reckon he is a big pushover!

Take this morning, May and April were out of their cage rampaging around. April was around the corner pretending she was digging the carpet up. OTL, who was having his 'Wheaty Bangs' hears the noise, puts down his cereal bowl and rushed around the corner to find April, on her back, kicking the door!

It certainly sounded like carpet being dug up!

So, OTL, having waved the finger at April as a warning headed back to his cereal bowl to find Miss May finishing off the last lick!

Yep, I could get to like this!

 It gets bad when you have to fight off an 'attack of the ferrets' just to keep your breakfast!

Poor OTL!

Down on the beach the tide was in and I just couldn't resist diving into the water!

Trouble was, with this short hair cut, the water soon got to my 'Sensitive Bits' which made me stop, turn around, then head back to the shore!

Gawd! This is cold!

 Back on the Sea Wall I had a good shake and got rid of most of the water. Holly said that we look like a couple of Jack Russell's with Hairy Heads!

Thank Gawd the sun is warm!

 We got back to the car and Holly said that she wasn't going to show herself on the beach until she had a decent growth of hair!

Hair this short is almost rude!

Once home we headed off to pick up the big car. Fortunately the bill wasn't as big as OTL thought it might so he was sort of happy. Mind you, that didn't stop him from sniveling all the way home!

Lunchtime we spotted a 'Pleasure Craft' and once again we waved to them but we got no response. Holly said they didn't wave at us 'cos we looked like a couple of nudist!

Upon my life Ethel, there are a couple of nude dogs waving at us, avert your eyes!

The Corvid family were out rummaging around the rock pool but they laughed at Holly's backside!

Jus' look at the wobbly butt on that woofer!

 Once back home I had to have a wash, you see I found some real smelly poo to have a roll in and The Missus had to give me a wash which I didn't mind 'cos it got rid of that terrible sniff the Poodle Parlour sprayed over us!

OTL looks like he is going to get a Kofti Kebab tonight, we think TM has got fed up with cooking!

Should be good muggings tonight!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's been wet today!

Hi Woofers!

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


After yesterdays terrible happenings we are getting back to normal, except for the howling draft around the tail end!

When we got down to the beach Holly spotted that the wind powered generators were all working!

We expect Old Two Legs to get his big camera out soon and he will try to get a picture of them going around and make it look like the blade are 'Bending' as they go around!

Just wait for the winter winds to blow!

 We all had a sniff around the beach but didn't hang about too long, the wind felt rather chilly, especially around the back end!

This is a strange one!

 Holly is still suffering from her 'Grumbly Tum' and today she didn't have to have her butt washed in public!

I feeling better but I've still lost my 'Mojo'!

Today OTL has been doing some house hold jobs that include mending the carpet where the ferrets have tried to dig holes in and under the carpet edge under the door.

Mind you, I will admit, Holly and I have also had a little 'dig' at the edges in the past!

Lunchtime it was still blowing and the rain was still in the air so we didn't hang about too much. The ferrets had decided that riding in the ferret bag was better than walking in the rain!

I've got over my Grumbly Tum but Holly is suffering still. Mind you, it may be a lesson to Holly not to eat any mucky stuff on the beach!

No more news on Rufus and we are still waiting for photos!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's Good News Day today!

Hi Woofers!

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

Super, wonderful, brilliant and Great!

Rufus had his operation and the lump was removed! We got news last night that he had been pigging out on a bowl of chicken and was drinking as well! Good News eh?

We will be keeping an eye on his progress and what he gets up to!

Now it is a good news day for Rufus but Holly and I haven't been so lucky!

It started off with Holly having a 'Grumbly Tum' this morning and after a poo ended up with a 'Grubby Butt'! Now Old Two Legs said that he didn't want a Smelly Holly in the new car, so, when we got to the Sea Wall we noticed the tide was in.

 Great! I was straight in for a splash about, OTL took the ferrets onto the sand for a dig and Holly sat on the sand looking unhappy!

With the sun glinting on the water it looks like I'm swimming with fairies!

..........and there's even some red sails in the sunrise!

OTL took the ferret bag off his shoulder and as the ferrets lead was attached to the bag they couldn't go anywhere. Not so Holly Chops, OTL called her to the waters edge, pushed her backwards into the water and proceeded to wash the poo off her butt!

Holly was not happy, the water was cold and when it ran down her back legs, it made her shiver!

I thought it was great fun 'cos I kept running past into the water and splashing her!

It wasn't long before her butt was clean and OTL gave his hands a good wash by scrubbing them with the wet sand and washing it all off in the water!

Clean at last!

On the way back to the car May found a dead Shrew on the path and was on it in double quick time!

She gave it a good shake and then chewed it's head off!

Yuk!

Mmmmm! Tasty or Wot!

 I suppose it is a treat for a ferret to get a fresh shrew but I wouldn't fancy it my self!

She then left it by the side of the path and walked on!

From the Car Park it was straight down to the Poodle Parlour to see wot the new lady is like and wot sort of job she makes of the hair cut!

OTL says that the price has gone up and for the extra dosh she had better make a good job or he will have a go at doing it himself!

Both Holly and I have decided that we would rather the new lady does our hair cut rather than OTL!

Can you imagine what sort of job he would make of our hair? Just look at what he does to his!

Bald all over!

Lunchtime Fred and Wendy got to have a walk where all the rabbits play. Fred was keen to do a bit of digging but Wendy got a bit confused with all the new sniffs!

There are some strange sniffs here!

 The clouds came over and it started to rain, so it was a 'Quick Dash' back to the car cos it was time to collect Holly and I, mind you, the clouds looked a bit dramatic and would have been great if OTL had brought his Yellow Filter!

Where is a Yellow Filter when you need one?

Well, I shouldn't have mentioned the word 'Bald' 'cos this new lady asked if we wanted it a little shorter For The Summer'?

Yus, says OTL and off we went into the back room where we get all washed and trimmed.

Well, we got 'The Treatment' alright, it was short back and sides, claws clipped and the shortest Brazilian I've ever seen!

I think I'm going to wait a few days before going in for a swim!

We have forbidden OTL to take any photos of us until we get a bit more coverage!

We are going to ask The Missus if she can get some 'Before and After' photos of Rufus, claws crossed!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A strange day!

Hi Woofers!

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

It has been all rush and tear today! We were up early again, The Missus was up early again with another new idea!

Old Two Legs tried to get some extra sleep but Holly and I both gave his ear and bald head a good lick, that got him out of bed!

Down on the beach May and April were doing what they normally do, dig holes, while I sniffed around on the high tide mark, just to see if there are any strange sniffs lurking under the sea weed!

Holly was late getting onto the beach 'cos as she was finishing off a sniff on the path, who should arrive but that young Bozo called Marley!

It's my new mate Old Two Legs!

 Well, we all know that OTL is Two Legs and Marley had better clear off and mind his own TL or he could end up with a telling off!

Then, just so he understood, when he got close to her, Holly gave one of the 'Gentle Warning Growls'.

It is one we save for puppies, it helps with their education. A Woofer has to learn just what is good manners and what is not!

Let that be a warning, he is OUR Two Legs!

We didn't hang about 'cos the old, little car was off to the garage for it's MOT.

OTL had been onto the garage that looks after the big car and they sent out an engineer to see if he could fix it by the road side. Poor lad had been given a load of duff information and after about three hours decided to give up and get the transporter to pick up the car and get it down to the garage, which is what OTL wanted to happen in the first place!

Then we had to pick up the little car with its brand new MOT certificate and get it home!

Holly and I decided to stay at home 'cos we had sniffed rain on the wind and didn't fancy getting wet!

Now, at the time of writing the blog we haven't heard anything about Rufus and his operation but we are keeping our claws crossed for good news. TM is supposed to get onto her Face Ache thingy and get updates but because of the running about with the cars hasn't been on yet.

That's it for us today, TM is off out this evening and we are going to sit on the sofa and chew Bonio Biscuits!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Claws Crossed for Rufus.

Hi Woofers!

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

Have we had a good day today! We've been up the Kent County Show!

This morning first thing, we were down the beach a bit earlier than normal!

We met up with Bert who really fancies Holly rotten!

Morning! Holly!

Holly told him about going to The Show but as Bert had never been there it was a bit difficult explaining wot it was all about. In the end I told him all about the sniffs and then he seemed to get the idea!

Before Holly could get down to the beach the Ladies and young Percy came along the Sea Wall and Holly had to explain all again!

OK, anyone been to the Kent County Show? No? Right then, there is this place full of sniffs...........

 While Holly was telling her tale I was keeping an eye open for any passing ships!

I spotted a Container Ship heading off to Hamburg to drop off a few containers and pick up some new ones!

Hamburg here we come!

It wasn't long before we set off for a day of sniffin some of the best sniffs in the county!

Old Two Legs didn't bring his camera so you will miss out on some of the views!

We stopped off at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue stand where they were racing ferrets and telling everyone about the life of ferrets.

As we know all about ferrets it was rather boring, so Holly and I got into a corner and had a snooze while The Missus had a cuddle with one of the baby ferrets and asked if we could take a couple home with us!

OTL said that we didn't have the room for another 'Group', so TM showed off!

The ladies at the Allhallows Croppers held a Cardy Thong Thingy and through their efforts raised funds for Demelza House and the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue. Well, while we were there we were told about a ferret called Rufus who was handed in the the rescue a couple of days ago. He had a big lump where his tummy should be and he was rushed off to the vet who drained a lot of fluid. Then he was booked in for an operation to find out what the lump was all about. Now, this sort of treatment costs money and it was decided that the donation from the Allhallows Croppers would be used to finance the cost of his treatment!

TM will be putting pictures and a progress report on her FaceAche page so you can follow the story.

Claws crossed for Rufus!

Claws crossed for Archie Babes mum who went home with a car with a cough! Let's hope it was nothing serious! At least she got home, our car refuses to even start!

We are off for a snooze now 'cos all that walking around sniffing has made us both very tired!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Not a Good Day for OTL!

Hi Woofers!

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

It has been rather warm today, in fact a big muggy, which means rain later!

We didn't see any rain, so, it may arrive tomorrow!

Up good and early this morning and after The Missus headed off to her Master Class, we headed off to the beach!

We met up with Barney the Pointer who we hadn't seen for ages. He said that he didn't come out until nine nowadays but today his Two Legs were out so he got the 'early Morning Call'!

Down on the beach May and April had a good roll in the sand and sea weed!

I did miss this yesterday!

 I found a super 'Rolling Sniff' and April wanted to use it once I had finished. Old Two Legs told me to 'Get Up' and as soon as I did April dived in!

Come on April, give this a go!

 OTL was playing with the camera and trying some 'Macro' type shots but the camera is not as good as the big one and although the colour was there, the detail wasn't!

Pretty but no depth of field or sharp focus!

 Around eleven thirty OTL had finished all the cage cleaning and Fred and Wendy said they really could do with a run out 'cos they didn't have one yesterday and might not get one tomorrow!

OTL said it wasn't good for them to go 'Stir Crazy' so he piled us all in the big car and headed off beach again!

We were heading for the beach when Holly spotted a flower that was full of 'Soldier Beetles' having a party!

Hey! Have a look at this lot!

OTL went into 'Fiddle Mode' with the camera and tried to get close to see what they were doing!

It's a 'Speed Dating Party'!

 While he was doing that I went off to see what ships were about but there were none! Not even a rowing boat!

No ticks today!

 Being Saturday there were loads of Two Legs out down the sea side over in Sheerness and across the river in Southend on Sea.

We knew this 'cos we could sniff the Fish & Chips and Kebab sniffs coming wafting over on the breeze!

Hey! Get that Donna Kebab with Salad Cream Sauce!

 Holly is more into the Fish & Chips and could even tell if they had vinegar on the chips!

Mmmm! Three shakes of vinegar and two of salt!

On the way home the big car sort of lost control of the Sat Nav and the control buttons. Nothing he did made it better, so, he decided to call the car shop on Monday. After settling Fred and Wendy down he got us in the car and tried to start the engine. A couple of 'Error Messages' came up on the screen and the car refused to start!

That was it, no Kent County Show today!

We will still be going tomorrow and TM will be coming as well 'cos she wants to have a cuddle of the young ferrets that OTL has fallen in love with!

Who knows what we will get to eat up at the show but at least we won't be hampered by a muzzle like poor Archie Babe!

I wonder if he has to wear that when he goes into the new garden to chase a frog or two?

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

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.
