Little Miss Izzy has been Busy!

Yo Woofers!

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

We have some super news for you, Miss Izzy gave birth to three puppies last night!

Mummy and children are all well!

Today they are off to the vet for a check up, just to make sure everything is OK!

A Proud Mum!

We have been suggesting names and so far we have come up with Mr Bo Jingles, Miss Misty & Miss Holly but of course there may be changes when their characters shine through!

Mr Bo Jingles, Miss Misty & Miss Holly!

What a wonderful Christmas present to the world!

More news when we get it!

Down on the beach it was rather windy, seems we got the back end of that storm. Mind you Miss May and Eric had fun diving into the grass and playing 'Boo' whenever Holly and I passed by!

This morning we all got our 'Anti Flea and Everything Else' stuff Old Two Legs puts between our shoulder blades. He reckons that it will kill everything except the woofer and there is a special one for ferrets, so that will kill everything except ferrets.

Holly and I have decided to stay away from the ferrets until the stuff dries off!

Mind you, the ferrets have never had this before so as soon as OTL put it on their necks they were squirming about wondering what the devil he was doing, mind you, he had left it until they were half asleep so they quickly went back to snoozing while it all dries off!

I had to visit the vets last night, butt trouble, got some medicine to sort it out, ProKolin to bung me up and some antibiotic to help mend the insides!

Well, normally I have to have the ProKolin squirted down my throat 'cos it tastes horrid but when OTL started to put the tube into my mouth, I went into 'Wobble Mode' which means 'There ain't No Way You Are Stuffin' That Down My Chops'!

I could see that OTL wasn't going to be beaten so in the end I just licked the stuff off his paw, just like Holly does!

Now, the pills are something else. They taste like poo, smell like poo and are the size of dustbin lids!

Last night OTL mixed the pill in with the ProKolin and we got them down like that. Today I was offered small chunks of Lambs Heart, with a bit of pill inside.

I ate the heart and spat out the pill!

Finally, OTL, being a sneaky Two Legs, got some creamy Blue Cheese, (Which Holly and I just LOVE) and put the pill in that.

The idea was, the cheese sniffed stronger than the pill.

I ate it all, no problem!

Let's see what tomorrow brings, mind you, I've got to have another dose of the ProKolin stuff tonight, so there is more chance of some fun before bed!

Bye for now!

Luv to the Pups and Luv to you all.

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

A Whole 2 Seconds!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what a good thing to happen, the night last night was two seconds shorter!

Bet you didn't know that!

It's a good job you have us to let you know these important facts!

Another thing that puzzles everyone is.........do Brant Geese taste like Chicken?

Well, Holly Chops has been doing some research on this and has been sniffing the sniffs that come from them when they have been up wind of us.

Results are now in and Holly says that they taste 'Muddy with a little fishy sniff' this is due to amount of shrimps they eat!

Nah! Shrimpy and muddy!

 It was still hard not to chase them but the water looked cold and you could see we were not going to catch them!

We'd rather have Turkey or Chicken or Fillet Steak!

We were late going for our lunchtime walk and I got a little desperate so Old Two Legs let me loose in the field behind the house, which was a relief!

Then we went down the beach in the big car 'cos The Missus had pinched it to do some last minute shopping at the Co-Op!

OTL wouldn't let us sit on the seats and we had to stay in the back 'cos he said we had 'Muddy Paws'!

Cheek!

We had fun on the beach doing a high speed 'Dig & Whizz' and we both ended up with sand all over us!

Dig an Whizz!

Being 'Sandy Woofers' does have a down side. Like, we got tied up to the cargo section of the Big Car which stopped us sitting on the seats!

Mind you, Fred and Wendy had to stay in their travelling cage but that is normal for them!

Now, what is all this showing off just 'cos Izzy visits? Sitting on Mummy's lap? Archie Babe, you're being a big woose!

Little Izzy is a lovely woofer!

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, so we're looking forward to doing some serious mugging over the next few days!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Spring and Summer are on their way!

Hi Woofers!

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

Hey! Wot good news, we have just had the longest night and from now on the days get longer!

Just think of it, warm sunny days, balmy breezes and swimming in the sea again.

Loads of sniffs under the flowers and loads of rabbits to chase!

We saw some rabbits this morning but it was so dark that by the time we got out of the car they had all vanished!

Where the Woof did they go?

As we had to get up early, we could see the sun was still in bed but there were some strange looking colours coming up over the horizon.

The Lights of Sheerness.

We saw the fishing boat drifting along with its lights on but the morning colour made it all look blue, both the sea and the clouds!

Sailing by in the Morning Light!

 Well, the ferrets didn't come with us for the morning walk so we got down to the Parlour in good time. Holly and I got a complete wash and brush up and ended up sniffing like a Tarts Handbag, again!

We promised that when we get back down the beach both Holly and I were going to go looking for that pile of Poo!

Unfortunately, it looks like it got washed out to sea on the last tide!

Mind you, we did find some sniffs that were not 'Mucky' and we rolled in them before OTL could stop us!

We Gotta Sniff and We Don't Care!

Holly found the first one and pretended it was a hole, then, while OTL was looking at me, Holly Chops dived in!

OTL then started to tell Holly to 'STOP' but by then I had dived into my sniff!

I Gotta Sniff and You Can't Catch Me!

It was lucky that the sniffs were sort of 'clean' and nothing showed up on our coats!

Holly had a load of 'Hair Balls' under her front legs so the groomer lady had to cut hem out and Holly's legs had a little less hair than normal but as OTL says, 'It'l Grow Back'!

It's a pity that won't happen with his hair!

Holly with 'Short Hairy Legs'!

 OTL says he will book the next hair cut for mid February, let's hope it's not too cold then!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

First Day of Winter!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, here we are and it's the First Day of Winter when there should be at least six feet of snow outside the door and icicles hanging from the roof and stuff like that!

We got some wind today and I'm not talking about Holly's problem! No, the wind has blown all the foggy bits away! In fact, it was rather warm down on the beach today and we stayed well away from the poo pile, mainly 'cos Old Two Legs was keeping his eye on us!

OK, Wind has blown the fog away but it's still grey!

 We all had a walk and a sniff but we'd rather it was a bit warmer! Still, it's better than six feet of snow!

We were supposed to get our hair cut today but for some reason the lady who does it forgot to phone Old Two Legs last night and it just slipped out minds. So, we have got to be down the parlour at eight tomorrow morning!

It's going to be a speedy wee tomorrow and a lightening poo if we are going to get down there by eight!

I can see OTL is not going to be happy about getting up early!

Poor lad needs his sleep!

Still, at his age his memory is getting bad.

We are going to get an early night tonight 'cos will have to make an early start and The Missus has promised to give OTL a kick to wake him up, trouble is, TM gets up a four!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


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

The Grubby Butt Incident!

Yo Woofers!

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

I have decided I don't like the weather this time of the year, it not that it's too cold or hot or warm or damp or wet. It's just that it is so grey and miserable!

The fog has moved off into the distance but what is left is gloomy weather, grey weather!

Gloomy or Wot!

 Old Two Legs was telling us about when he was a young lad. (Holly says he must have a good memory to remember that far back!)

Anyway, he said that it was normal for November to be mostly frosty and cold. He can remember going to school on Fireworks Night and all the privet hedges were covered in frost!

There wasn't always snow on Christmas Day but it came before and after Christmas. Nowadays it doesn't snow until February, March, April or May!

You know, even at lunchtime today both Freddy and Miss Wendy were saying that they should both be back in bed than out in the gloom!

No, we don't like it out here!

 Once you get a good run up and down the beach your tail sort of warms up a bit and you forget the gloom.

Today Holly and I were back down the far end of the beach while OTL was up the front trying to get the ferrets to 'Un-Thaw' and head towards the car. (See above picture)

Well, we found this pile of serious poo that was calling to us and saying 'Roll in Meee!'

Holly and I just couldn't resist!

Holly went in first, butt first and wiggled her tail to stir it up a bit as well!

OTL just happened to turn around to see Holly do her 'Poo Dive', then he yelled out for Holly to 'STOP IT!'

Holly said that he was just too far away for her to stop, and then she had another roll!

I told her to 'Shove Over' and let me in for a roll as well but when I did I found that all there was left was a sniff!

All of the poo was hanging from Holly's Butt and Tail!

OTL was still jumping up and down and yelling his hat off and threatening us with all manner of nasties!

Mind you we didn't care 'cos he was still too fare away and on top of that he had a couple of cold ferrets in his arms!

Back home both Holly and I got the 'Wet Rag' treatment and Holly got all of her butt washed with soap!

I got off with an inspection and The Missus giving me a sniff!

OTL got back to his work again while Holly and I settled down for an afternoon snooze!

All the ferrets were fast asleep as well, a peaceful afternoon!

Our Grumbly Tums seem to be settling down now, so we should be back to normal by tomorrow.

We have managed to escape that ProKolin stuff that OTL squirts down our throat when the 'Grumblies' get us. Holly likes the taste but I think it is absolutely YUK!  OTL has to squirt it down the side of my tongue so that I swallow it!

Just wait until he gets the Grumbly Tum, I'll get TM to squirt some of it down his throat!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

We got the 'Grumby Tum'!

Hi Woofers!

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

We want today to be over so that tomorrow we can feel better. Both Holly and I have picked up something that has given us the old 'Grumbly Tum' and we have not been our normal bouncy Woofers!

Down on the beach we met up with 'The Lads' and it was Polly who looked like she could do with a haircut! Polly said that if she had a hair cut that would mean she had to wear a coat and she just hates coats, so there is nothing like a natural coat!

Just call me 'Fluffy'!

 Holly was sitting on the Sea Wall when Barney II came past and he gave Holly a kiss to help her get over her Grumbly Tum!

Get better soon!

 Freddy had a great time rampaging around the house especially when Wendy did her 'Dissapearing' trick, but not to worry 'cos we found her in the office giving the Ferretone bottle a good licking!

It makes a change from hiding!

Freddy had fun sorting out all his squeaky balls and lining them up under the stairs! He has got a thing about his 'Babies' standing in a line!

I'm watching you!

While Holly and I were on our beds OTL showed us some Christmas Cards we had received and one jumps out 'cos it has pictures of Hamish, Izzy and Bella on the front! Izzy is going to be a 'Mum' soon and we just can't wait to see the pictures!

So, we are staying on our beds feeling horrid but with a bit of luck, tomorrow we should feel better, claws crossed!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Wendy gets lost!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, there is no wind yet! The best we got today is 0.0mph! So, that means it has been grey all day!

Look! I see the Tower!

 May and Eric didn't seem bothered and ran off to have a dig in the sand!

We could pinch the dog's ball and bury it!

 Back home Holly and I retired to the bedroom while Old Two Legs did the cages. First out was May and Eric who had great fun diving into the crate full of ping pong balls!

Then it was Fred and Wendy's turn to have a good hour's rampage around the house.

OTL finished their cage then played a game with them and they all played 'Chase' around the lounge.

Then OTL went off to do some stuff on the computer leaving the ferrets to get into trouble!

After an hour or so OTL went looking for the ferrets. First he found Freddy asleep in the drawer of the office desk. He was gently lifted up and placed into the cage. Then he went looking for Wendy.

She was nowhere to be found! All the normal hidy holes were searched but no success, no a sign of her at all!

The house was turned up side down in a search for her but no sign.

The chairs in the lounge are leather covered and there is a flap at the back that is secured with strips of Velcro and Snowflake used to get in there for a quiet snooze and remembering this OTL looked inside, nothing.

Off he went again turning everything up side down and The Missus said that OTL was being silly looking in the places he was looking, like, oven, washing machine, dishwasher, booze cupboard!

OTL said that after we had looked in all the sensible places then all was left was the silly places!

OTL was back to the lounge chairs again, pulling off the cover and feeling the inside of the springs and he was looking at the underside of the chair TM uses.

Underneath the chair there was a sagging sort of bulge and OTL was going to write it off as a result of TM's time spent sitting there. Just as a test he put his hand there and sort of lifted it up, it was warm, and when OTL moved it, it moved back!

That was it, Wendy had been found!

Now was the problem of getting her out, without hurting her, while she was still half asleep!

In a move that OTL described as 'Squeezing Tooth paste out of the Tube' he finally got her out!

Well, there is another hidy hole that goes on the list of places to look for her the next time she goes missing!

We left them asleep at lunchtime and headed down to the beach again.

It was still foggy!

We are definitely going to get Archie Babe down here to blow it away!

 Down on the beach there were a couple of fishermen throwing worms into the sea. We decided that we would leave them to it 'cos a bit later the tide is going to come up past where their little camp is and they will have to get up on the Sea Wall!

It's going to get wet!

 Back home we got an email from Roy at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue thanking OTL and TM for their help in fund raising for the Centre.

We have re printed the email for you to see 'cos we know a lot of you have made contributions and deserve all the good praise possible!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Looking for 'Best in Show'

 

All we want is some wind!

Hi Woofers!

Us Woofers are back again! Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret!

If there was one day when we could have done with some serious wind it was today!

We have tried to make our own wind today, we started of by blowing when we got to the beach but it didn't seem to have much success 'cos the misty fog was still there!

Well, that didn't work!

Holly suggested that we get Archie Babe down 'cos he has the ability to 'Raise The Wind' , well that's what Auntie Elaine says!

I did remind Holly that there was the problem of the six berries that have yet to resolved and if Archie was to let rip we could end up with a 'Gun Fight at Grain' situation!

So, that was it, we decided to leave the weather alone and wait for the wind to arrive on its own!

Mind you, Eric did say that he sometimes gets a 'Funny Tummy' and manages to 'Raise the Wind!' but Miss May said he was more 'Substance' than 'Quantity'!

Small but powerful!

We left the beach and headed for home.

We found Fred and Wendy all tucked up together and when we told them about the wind they said that there was only place to be on a day like today..........

Cuddled up in bed!

Lunchtime we stopped off at the Village Hall to say 'Hello' to the Allhallows Croppers who were having their Christmas Party. Holly and I said 'Hello' to them all and then went 'Hunting Food'!

We had some fun sorting out the 'Mini Sausages' and Holly even found a Pork Pie!

We couldn't hang about 'cos Old Two Legs had got our lunch ready at home, so, more food!

Let's hope that we all get some wind tonight, well, except OTL 'cos when he gets the wind we all know about it!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Christmas Starts Here!

Hello Woofers!

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

It's been another one of those 'Grey Days' little wind, mild and rather 'Nothing' if you know what I mean!

Down on the beach this morning we couldn't see the horizon, just a load of grey and on top of that, no sunrise!

Maybe it is a Grey Sun today?

 It certainly didn't please young Eric, he said that the grey morning made him look all 'Monochromatic'!

Look! No colour!

 While Eric was trying to get a bit of colour into his morning walk Old Two Legs spotted young Marley coming along the Sea Wall!

You know there is something about OTL that Marley just loves and of course he was straight up to OTL then rolled onto his back so OTL could tickle his tummy!

I want a Tickle!

 Back home OTL finished off his 'Poo Shovelling' while the ferrets had a great time rampaging around the house!

Wendy and Freddy had the best time 'cos The Missus went off in the car to a local craft shop so the ferrets could rampage as much as they wanted!

It was so exhausting that Freddy ended up in a drawer in the office, fast asleep!

OTL put him back to bed then went looking for Wendy who was fast asleep in one of TM's boxes in her store room!

Two tired little ferrets!

In fact they were so worn out that they didn't want to go out at lunch time and even refused to wake up!

That was OK by Holly and me and off we went, only to find the 'Grey' had got greyer!

I still see no ships!

As Holly and I were sniffing around the beach we got to discussing Archie Babe and the Holly Berries that he is 'Passing Through'!

Holly pointed out that he had to be very careful, you see it's OK to get rid of them in a good poo but you had to be very careful if the all sort of gather together and  you are suffering from the Windy Pops!

Holly says it could be like a shot gun going off!

Boom!

Let's hope Archie Babe doesn't suffer from wind!

 Tonight OTL and Tm are off out for a meal with friends and every year TM looks on this as the start of Christmas Time!

We just hope they are not too late 'cos Holly and I will need a wee before bed!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Breaking News! Santa is coming to our village, early!

Hi Woofers!

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

Hey! We have just found out that on Saturday The Missus and the Allhallows Croppers are holding their Christmas Bash! Well we will be going up there at lunch time to see what we can get in the way of nibbles!

However, we have also found out that they won't be putting away all the tables and chairs 'cos Santa Paws wants the hall for sorting out all the presents that he has to deliver to the village!

Holly and I are making a plan to get up there after nine and get to see Santa Paws and ask him for a present for Old Two Legs 'cos we reckon he has been 'Nice' more than he has been 'Naughty' this year!

The ferrets reckon we should ask for a new Poo Shovel 'cos he has nearly worn out the old one. I think a new harness for Holly and me would be a better idea but we need to be 'Fitted' for a new harness so that will have to wait until we go to the Kent County Show in July next year!

So, what do we get the Two Legs who has everything?

We will have to think on that!

It was all grey down on the beach today, no exciting sun rise, well if it was exciting the clouds hid it from us!

No Sun today, the clouds got in the way!

Miss May decided that to get warmed up she would have a go at some 'Speed Digging' which started off with he jumping onto the pile of sand and shells at the same time she let out the 'Ferret Yell' which is a bit like a 'Rebel Yell' but a shade more squeaky!

Wa-Woo-Woohoo!

Now Holly and I had never heard May doing the yell but I must say, it got our attention!

What the Woofin' Heck was that?

These ferrets can sure scare the locals!

We got home and enjoyed a good snooze in our 'Day Bed' while OTL was plonking away on the computer doing some 'Important' stuff!'

That was until lunchtime when we set off for the beach again. It was still grey and dismal but the tide was right in. I decided to leave it alone and retire to the grass bank 'cos those waves looked just too close!

No! Not for even a paddle!

 OTL put the ferrets down for a run and a dig but it didn't work 'cos as soon as their paws hit the beach they were demanding the Ferret Bag!

No Way! Bring the bag here, now!

 Holly, who was sitting on top of the Sea Wall, looked disdainfully at it and announced that she was 'Going Home'!

I don't do Wet and I don't do Cold! I'm off home, Now!

That was it, she just upped and waddled her butt back to the car!

Back home OTL spent all afternoon on the computer making a 'Quotation' for one of his customers and was still at it when it was time to publish the Blog!

Now, we still haven't decided if he has been 'Naughty or Nice', Decisions, Decisions!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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