Ball Games!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again!

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

You know it is getting darker and darker in the mornings. We woke up and it was pitch black, so we went back to sleep and stayed in bed a whole hour longer than normal!

By the time we got down the beach it was still dark and there was only a small bit of sun shine showing under the clouds!

Can the sun be late in getting up as well?

Miss May got Old Two Legs to carry her all the way to the beach cuddled up in his arm but when she got there she was running around at high speed!

We had a great time playing with the ball and digging a hole, even Holly joined in the game!

OK, who has first go?

 May was jumping in and out of the hole while Holly was jumping over the top! Then May jumped into the hole and covered the ball with her tail!

OK, You win!

Mind you, I did a sneaky, while she was looking the other way I grabbed the ball and ran up the rock wall!

Let's see her dig a hole up here!

 Back home we all started making a list of stuff we want to take away with us on holiday, Holly says she won't be packing her swimming costume 'cos we are not near the sea and the only water is a river!

OTL says that he will be taking his big camera and a couple of lenses so he can do some landscape photography.

The Missus has decided to take all her stuff and is considering getting an articulated truck and drive it up to the camp site herself!

The ferrets have left it to OTL to decide what they take 'cos they will be in their 'Holiday Cage' which is a lot smaller than their normal house cage!

OTL had a last minute order come in and had to get it delivered before lunch, so we got a chance of a snooze before the lunch time walk.

The tide had not come in so we had loads of sand to play in again. Wendy was digging a hole and I had a good game of pretending I was going to jump in the hole with her but instead I jumped right over the top!

I'll get you next time!

 Holly had a good game as well, she found a small bit of wood and was running about throwing it high into the air!

She has always been very good at that game and can throw anything up in the air and pretend to catch it as well!

OK, next time on yer head!

We have just seen OTL shut the computer down, so that means we are now officially 'On Holiday'!

It's just the packing and dragging TM out of her Master Class tomorrow!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Freddy gets into Trouble, sort of!

Hello Woofers!

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

It is getting rather windy down this end of the world and it seems that the wind in coming from Scandinavia!

It certainly is bringing a load of cloud with it. Mind you, that means there are some super sun beam pictures!

Looking towards Grain.

When we got to the beach it had all changed again!  Old Two Legs waited a while and took this one but really, I prefer the view from just outside the village!

Sun Beams over the Isle of Sheppy!

 There were a load of sniffs on the grass path and Miss May was getting as excited as Holly and I and May even got to have a roll in one of them!

Wow! These are just great!

Back home The Missus had gone out so we had the house to ourselves. It was good fun having a chase around and May did some serious 'Biscuit Nicking!'

When it was Fred and Wendy's turn to rampage, Freddy got into serious trouble!

He found a plastic shopping bag full of sponge ball thingy things that TM uses in her crafting game. She sort of splodges ink and paint and other stuff all over bits of paper and makes a right mess of it all.

Well, Freddy found this bag full of sponge thingy things and had a great time diving into the bag, grabbing hold of one, reversing out of the bag and then throwing the sponge thingy over his shoulder and diving back into the bag again.

There were loads of these sponge thingy things and they were scattered all over the floor!

OTL had to pick them all up but as he was putting them back in the bag, Freddy was pulling them out again!

Freddy got the 'Warning Finger Waggle' and OTL had to put the bag up on TM's desk, out of Freddy's reach!

We had a couple of deliveries to make before lunch time but after that we headed for the beach again.

It was still blowing a gale on the beach so we didn't hang about too long.

Fred and Wendy dug a small hole but because we didn't have a ball to bury they lost interest and chased after OTL up the beach to the grass path!

It really isn't a good hole without a ball to bury!

 I found a dead crab on the beach and just had to have a roll!

I rather like the sniff of dead crab, it reminds me of the sea side!

Oooooooo! This is Super!

Back home OTL cooked up some chicken bits for us and as they were warm and greasy they slipped down a treat!

I'm not sure what OTL has for dinner tonight but you can be sure we will help him eat it!

Now, we didn't know Michael had a blog, his last one on Blogspot was never updated. Has he got it located somewhere we can see it?

Don't say Face Ache 'cos we don't do Face Ache but if he has a blog we can see, that would be fun!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret (Ole' Sponge Pants!)

A Windy Day on the beach!

Hi Woofers!

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

Have we been busy today or wot!

It started off by staying in bed a full three quarters of an hour longer than normal!

Really it is all down to The Missus keeping us awake with her snoring!

Once she starts no one can get to sleep, and that includes the ferrets!

So, we turn up on the beach a bit later than normal and the sun was well up in the sky, so no dramatic sun rises!

Mind you, Miss May had fun digging in the sand and I had a game with the ball as well.

OK, all I need now is a ball to bury!

Holly and I were a bit further on down the beach getting stuck into a really good looking hole, just right for a rubber ball!

No, this is the place, I just know it!

What we both didn't see was a streak of white as Little Miss Sneaky Knickers May come flying along the beach and jump straight into the hole and grab the ball!

Wot The Woof is This??????

That was it, hole digging stopped and it took Old Two Legs to prise the ball away from May!

Back home OTL loaded up the big car with loads of stuff for delivery and while he wasn't looking, Holly and I sneaked into the car and hid behind the seats!

It was only a mile or two down the road that we woofed out a big 'Boo'! and scared the woof out of him!

We did most of the deliveries and with just two left he stopped off at the Doggy Shop!

Now, because Holly and I had sneaked into the car, OTL didn't have our lead so he said we had to stay in the car. That made us very sad and Holly even began to show off!

That was until OTL came back with a lead and a yoke!

He had gone in and purchased this new lead, just so we can go in and enjoy the sniffs as well as show him what we want to take away with us!

So, with the boot loaded up with holiday goodies and a new lead, off we went to do the last of the deliveries.

When we had finished, we were very near the Riverside Park and of course we asked if we could got for a walk!

OTL didn't have any poo bags but as he had supplied all the radios for the park people he went in and got some poo bags free of charge!

It's not what you know but who you know, well, that's what OTL says!

Back home we picked up Fred and Wendy and off down to the beach again!

The wind was rather strong and the waves had 'White Horses' dancing on top of them.

Race you to the beach Holly Chops!

 I was all for a swim but when I got close to the water I decided that maybe just a paddle would be a good idea!

Freddy had fun running along the wall of shells that the sea had washed up last night.

Holly kept a close watch on him, just in case he found a ball!

No Ball Here!

 As the tide was coming in we had to keep a close watch in case it rushed up the beach and soaked Fred and Wendy!

Watch out! It's coming for us!

Back home OTL found some more orders had arrived so he has been spending the afternoon and evening getting them all sorted before he shuts up shop for our holiday!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

All Work and a Little Play!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it seems we have the best of the weather down here in North Kent! Mind you, we are wondering what it will be like when we head off on our holidays up to North Yorkshire.

Will there be howling gales and snow and rain and ice?

We are just not used to that stuff so early before Christmas!

Oooops! I mentioned Christmas!

Sorry!

Down on the beach this morning I managed to get a spot all to myself where I could have a really good dig!

Let them try ti find the ball now!

As you would guess, I wasn't left along for long. Before long, along came Miss May who shoved her nose into my hole and made a grab at my ball!

Come on, share the ball!

In the end I let her have a play with the ball while I went on a sniff along the beach!

It wasn't long before I discovered a Shore Crab who was catching some rays and when I got close it waved its claws at me!

I need some Factor 35 on my tummy!

Back home we left Old Two Legs alone 'cos he is busy trying to get all the orders out before the end of the week!

I went off to find the chew I had left under OTL's pillow and spent the morning making piles of crumbs under the duvet!

Lunchtime the sun was out but there was a stiff breeze, not that it worried us and Holly even challenged me to a race!

Come on Daisy Dog, catch me if you can!

 Holly really had the pickle in her today. As soon as she got to the beach she was rolling around in the sand and kicking her legs into the air!

This is soooooooo Gooooood!

After her roll on the beach she sat down to watch the ships go by.

She didn't notice that Freddy Boy was creeping up behind her. He was just about to grab Holly's tail when she noticed him out the corner of her eye!

Watch it Shorty, your getting close to being buried in the sand along with that ball!

Just to be on the safe side, Holly got up and wandered off to sniff the crab we saw this morning but it had either moved off or got 'Rescued' by a sea gull!

Back home Holly has spent the afternoon snoozing on the sofa watching the birds in the garden. I was helping OTL packing all the stuff up ready for delivery tomorrow.

If the weather is OK we plan to give the caravan a wash and also the big car so when we go away we will all be smart and clean!

We are looking forward to meeting up with Izzy, Hamish and Bella. OTL fell for Bella when she came down for a visit. Now it sounds like she has got all grown up!

I'm off to find out what is for dinner!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Getting ready for our holiday!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super day it has been today, well for us it has! We aren't bothered by that big storm across the Pond, 150mph winds!

Our weather machine thingy on top of the house says that today our maximum wind speed has been 2.5mph!

We were up early and down the beach where we spotted the water steaming! Now, on the way we had seen the mist all over the fields so mist over the water was to be expected!

River Mist?

We said hello to Dave the Westie who was out on his morning stroll along the Sea Wall, we all had a woof and a sniff and Dave got his tail tickled by OTL!

Once again that Miss May pinched my ball while I was trying to bury it! Mind you, OTL managed to rescue it before she buried it under the hole she was digging!

Hey ! Shorty! Giss me ball back!

Back home Old Two Legs received instructions on getting the caravan cooker sorted out.

So, off we went to the menders but not with the caravan, instead we took the video cam with us!

OTL had been crafty and taken a video of the cooker!

So, there he was, in the menders with three engineers gathered around the video screen offering advice!

OTL then went around the caravans on show and poked his nose in the ovens!

Having got all that sorted we headed for home and a trip down the beach again!

I had a great time, I was in for another swim and then, as a special treat for me, I had a good roll on the sand!

You just can't beat a good roll!

 Of course, then I was covered in sand and stuff, so I just had to have another swim to wash all the sand off my back!

........................and now for another swim!

 While I was having fun in the sea Fred and Wendy were ferreting around the rocks looking for Nargles!

Nargle Hunting on the shore!

 Miss Holly Chops had decided to pass on the Nargle Hunting and of course she kept well away from the water!

Why don't you lot just do sniffs like every other Four Legs?

Mind you, all this talk of frogs has us all looking in our pond but we couldn't find any sniff of frogs anywhere. OTL reckons that the frogs are hiding in our 'Wild Life' section of the garden where there is loads of weeds and stuff that may hide slugs and other food that frogs eat!

We will be keeping a close watch on the Wild Life area!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Sunday for doing nothing!

Hi Woofers!

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

This morning we overslept by a whole forty five minutes!

Even the ferrets were fast asleep when Old Two Legs went in to say 'Good Morning'!

IT was a little chilly when we went out to the beach and Miss May stayed wrapped up in OTL's arms to keep warm!

Mind you, looking at the clouds we expected it to be cold and drafty all day!

A cold start to the day!

 May and I had a game of 'Hide The Ball' in the sand and you know what? I almost lost the ball to May!

It was a good job OTL rescued the ball or I might have had to say good bye to the ball!

Come on, let me have a go as well!

Back home it was 'Poo Shovelling' for OTL, as normal.

Holly and I rested on the bed, woofing at the neighbours who walked past the front of the house!

After all that was done we all took time for a snooze instead of watching the F1 racing.

We decided not to look at the F1 'cos The Missus is out at her Master Class and plans to watch the recording when she gets back this evening, so, we will look at the recording as well!

OTL framed a picture he plans to offer as a prize in the raffle at the Harrietsham Ferret Show.

He did one last year and that seemed to go down well, especially as it was a picture of ferrets!

By the time we went out at lunchtime, the sun had come out!

There was still a breeze blowing from the north east so both Fred and Wendy stayed cuddled up in OTL's arms until we got to the beach!

Once they were on the beach Freddy kept on telling Holly that she should go in for a dip in the sea but Holly, being Holly, declined and stalked off mumbling something about ferrets!

I wanna see those two splashing in the surf!

I had a little paddle but it wasn't the same without a ball to chase!

Fred decided to do a bit of rock climbing and set about doing some 'Scrambling' which is rock climbing but without and ropes and harnesses!

This is how it's done!

 Wendy was climbing as well but she was further up the wall and was a lot quicker than Freddy!

The sun had got the tourists out and there were a few strange woofers and Two Legs.

Of course there were the Oooo! and Aaaah's when they saw the ferrets but as Freddy said, Roll on Monday so we can get a quiet walk!

TM should be home soon, so that means the F1 Racing!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

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

BTW are there any hills in Lincolnshire?

The Mystery of Archie's Shed!

Hi Woofers!

The Gang is back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!

We love Saturdays, an extra ten minutes in bed, a lazy breakfast and all day with Old Two Legs trying very hard not to do anything too strenuous!

The weather forecast wasn't too promising but we headed off to the beach. Just as we got out of the village we looked across the fields and saw the first signs of a serious Autumn, misty fields! 

Misty Morning Scene!

OTL stopped to take a photo then it was down to the beach.

We arrived and the first thing we saw was a Rainbow over the top of the hill. Although it looked pretty, we soon realised that the sun was shining through some rain to produce the Rainbow and we were in between both!

Very nice but we need to get a move on!

May and I had a quick game of 'Bury The Ball' but it didn't last long and OTL soon collected the ball and hid it in a Poo Bag!

No, I fancy burying it here!

In the end May decided to go for a run along the beach while Holly and I headed for the Grass Path and on to the car!

Just watch this, they don't call me The Flying Ferret for nothing!

Mind you, when we pointed out the rain clouds heading our way we almost had trouble keeping up with May!

Here come the rain!

We got back to the car just in time and it rained all the way back home!

Lunchtime Fred and Wendy came out with us and again it was OK at the start but soon the rain came down!

I don't like the look of those clouds!

Wendy wanted to dig a hole but after just a couple of paw full of sand she left it and we all ran for the car!

I just felt a drip on my nose!

By the time we got back to the car we were all wet!

So, by the time we got home we were all a bit wet and soggy!

Now that is a good excuse for a good towel down and then an afternoon snooze!

Now, we have been thinking about Archie Babes 'Visitors' under the shed. We had a visitor that took up residence under our shed and although OTL baited a rat trap with loads of goodies, we never caught him!

We haven't seen him for ages so we reckon he has moved on.

There was a time when we had mouses under the shed, according to The Missus but we never saw any.

Now, Nargles, that is more likely, those Nargles get everywhere and a nest of Nargles can be a real problem 'cos they keep fleas as pets!

Best of luck and don't get too close to the shed bottom, you never know what will come out!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another swim for me!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's Friday!

Tomorrow we will have an extra ten minutes in bed! However, today we were up at our normal time and down the beach in time to see the first of the carriers arrive at Sheerness!

Sheerness in the morning sun!

 Miss May was being a pickle, she pinched the ball from me and started to dig her hole so she could bury the ball!

I mean, that's My Job!

This is how it's done!

You know, she is getting more demanding every day!

Her place is normally at the back but she has been pushing her way up the line!

Come on, it's my turn up the front!

Fred and Wendy don't have any plans on taking over, they are normally so far back we have to set up camp to wait for them!

The tide was right in so I was straight in for a splash about and Old Two Legs even found a bit of wooden root that I had fun fetching and chewing!

It's OK, I can see it!

In the end I got a bit worn out so OTL called me back and I enjoyed a good roll in the grass.

The only problem was that I picked up a load of those horrid little burrs that stick to your hair and are a pig to get out!

This is getting tiring!

In the end I was pleased I lost the stick!

It was fun when we got back to the car 'cos I had to stand on the ferret cage while OTL picked the burrs out of my hair. The ferrets were calling out that the burrs didn't stick to them 'cos they have silky smooth hair that burrs don't stick to!

Show offs!

Still, we got OTL to ourselves tomorrow so we are looking forward to some fun and games!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

The Badger Ballet.

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, there is also one more, we got a video sent by our mate Melissa of the antics this badger gets up to in her garden, just for a nibble of the bird table!

Now, if that didn't tickle you tail, nothing will!

The weather is changing here, we felt a little rain on our morning walk, not enough to worry about but it was there!

Looking at the clouds going past we reckon someone up north of us is due for soaking!

Gloomy or Wot!

 Walking along the beach we discovered a 'Nelly Fish' and it looks like it got washed up on the last high tide.

Old Two Legs has always told us we shouldn't get too near 'cos they have stingers that may give us a nasty rash!

A washed up Nelly Fish!

 We all headed off to the grass path and had a great time doing our 'Indian Style' sniffing!

How come she always gets the first place?

 Back home for a snooze, only to be woken up by rain lashing against the bedroom window, it looks like that storm cloud has brought his mates with him today!


By the time lunch was announced the rain had gone and we were down the beach again.

You know it was high tide and the water was just right for a 'Deep Paddle' so in I went!

OK, I know you don't have a ball but what about a stone and pretend?

 Freddy and Wendy reckon that it was better off back in the bag and the tried to rush OTL but he was too quick for them!

OK, count three and we'll both rush him!

 On the way back to the car, OTL stopped to pick up Holly's Poo and while he wasn't looking Miss Wendy dived into the bramble bush and was heading for the deepest, darkest part of the bushes.

OTL tried to pull her back out but the lead was stuck so OTL stuck his hand into the brambles and followed the lead down to where Wendy was stuck!

He got her out and then spent the next ten minutes trying to get all the bramble spikes out of his hand!

He says he now has a 'Sore Paw'!

All together Aaaaaaaah!

OK, we are off 'cos we can sniff dinner, OTL's dinner and we need to taste it in case it is poison or under cooked, the things we do for him and he just doesn't appreciate it!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

TM is back!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super day it has been!

We were up early this morning 'cos we had to get the house all tidy and ready for The Missus when she came back home.

Holly was rushing around picking up all the old carrots and biscuits while I was licking all the plates clean before putting them all in the dish washer!

OTL made the bed and got rid of all the crumbs and bits of carrot that got left under the duvet!

We got down to the beach and the sun was getting up. There was a funny blue light just under the sun and we were not too sure what it was. May said it could be a UFO (Unidentified Ferret Object!)

OTL said he wasn't sure while Holly and I said it was the reflection of the moon from over the horizon!

Any other suggestions? 

It's an Ooo Fow Ow!

 We had a game with the rubber ball, May said she had a super hole in the sand, just big enough for the ball.

Come on let me bury it this time!

 i was down the beach a bit trying to decide if I should dig my own hole!

I rather fancy here to be honest!

 In the end OTL picked up the ball and hid it in the ferret bag so no one could bury it!

Back home we managed to get everything cleared away in time and we sat up at the bedroom window waiting for TM.

Of course, when she arrived we gave her a good Woofers Welcome to show how we missed her!

You know, so far, she hasn't pointed out any things we had missed in our cleaning, so we reckon we have got away with it this time!

Lunchtime down the beach was good, Holly sat on the beach catching up with her tan while Fred and Wendy had a roll in the sea weed.

I did suggest that the water was super warm and just right for a swim but Holly Chops didn't share my enthusiasm!

In your dreams Daisy Dog!

 Well, it didn't stop me from charging in for a splash about, even though I didn't have a ball to chase!

We have just got to get another ball!

Back home to some Lambs heart that OTL had cooked and then under the office desk for a snooze!

OTL got a frozen curry out of the freezer this morning, so we know what he has got tonight, it looks like we will have to put up with Naan Bread tonight and a slurp of gravy!

Now what is all this about fleas? We thought you had got rid of the little devils? You must have got too close to those Hedge Hogs again. We reckon your TL should not only give you the treatment but spray the house and then chase the Hedge Hogs with the spray as well!

I'm sure the Hedge Hog would be pleased to get rid of those fleas!

We were sent a video of a Badger raiding a bird feeder, now there is an animal with fleas, it's a good job we don't get any in our garden!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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