I found a Super Sniff!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wasn't it great this morning?

We got down to the beach and the sun was shining and there was a 'Balmy Breeze' blowing down the river Medway.

Old Two Legs wanted to take some pictures of the sun but he had forgotten his camera!

Wot a Bozo!

Back home Miss Wendy and Freddy were a little tired after their run on the beach and soon they were fast asleep in their cage all cuddled up in the 'Cuddle Cup'!

Lunchtime we made sure OTL remembered his camera!

Miss May found the first sniff on the beach and enjoyed a really good roll!

This is just WONDERFUL!
 Holly didn't seem impressed, mind you, she has had a 'Grumbly Tum' for a couple of days and has declined a run on the beach, so instead she sits on the Sea Wall 'cos it is 'Nice and Cool' for her butt!

This is just right!
While everyone was having fun, I found this Super Big Soggy Sniff that was calling out to be rolled on!

So I did!

Ooh! It gets right between your shoulder blades!
Lucky for me OTL didn't see what I was doing, he thought I was just having a roll in the sand!

When I had finished and caught them all up at the top of the grass path he spotted my back!

He called me a lot of names and made me sit in the back of the back of the car, just so I couldn't have a roll to work it in a bit more!

Miss May got off with it 'cos she was rolling in dried stuff that came off when she had a good shake!

You know I'm going to have to take some lessons from her, she never seems to get called 'Smelly'!

Off down the path again!
Tomorrow we have got a treat, The Missus is off to one of her Master Classes so we will be able to snooze on the sofa and watch TV all day!

Better still, she is out for most of the evening 'Baby Sitting' so it's Bonio biscuits, Rawhide Chews and Shortbread crumbs everywhere!

OTL says we can stay up if we want and watch the 'Game of Thrones' that have been recorded!

Result!

We haven't heard anything from Mr Goodes (Michael) who went to London to get his nose sorted. I don't think I would like my nose messed about with, let's face it, how would I find the sniffs!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

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

We See The Sun!

Yo! Woofers!

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

Wot a surprise this morning, a little bit of red on the clouds before the sun got up and when it did get up........................
POW!! There it is!
It made a change to see the sun instead of those Misty, Foggy mornings!

We all had a game on the beach and we still couldn't find the ball. Holly reckons the Nargles have pinched it!

Those Nargles get everywhere!

On the way back to the car the ferrets went along the Ferret Track again and just for those of you who couldn't see it yesterday, we did this for you!

All you got to do is Follow The White Line!
Towards the end it gets easier 'cos it is even easier to see, well we think it is!

See? Even a Two Legs could follow this path!
Back home there was a bowl of chicken waiting for us woofers while the ferrets demolished a few chicken strips, some Brambles Biscuits and Old Two Legs office!

Well, it's a Ferret Thing!

Freddy had a super game with OTL and got his tummy tickled while being dragged around the floor in the bathroom!

Eric was all 'Rush and Tear' while also having a game with OTL as well!

Come lunchtime we headed off again to the beach but half way there it started to rain and it rained so much that OTL left his camera in the car but took the ferrets, all wrapped up in his arms!

The further we went along the path the wetter it got and it wasn't too long before we turned around and headed back to the car!

We all got back home to a snooze on our beds while OTL finished off some paperwork and made it look like he was working hard!

The ferrets enjoyed a big snooze, all cuddled up together and Wendy was snoring her tail off!

OTL says that there may be some very wet and windy weather heading our way over the next few days so it means we have to find our 'Wet Weather Gear'!

Tomorrow we are going to take the big car to get some body work done after it got scratched on a Yorkshire Stone Wall and also where someone scratched the bonnet while we were parked up in Tobermory a couple of years ago!

OTL is already weeping at the cost but he reckons it will be a lot less that the extra he would have to pay out if he claimed on his car insurance!

We are off now to see what OTL is going to get tonight and if we can pinch some!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Ferret Tracks!

Hello Woofers!

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

Although it was raining last night, just about 'Wee Time', we woke up to no rain and no sun!

It wasn't too cold though so we were able to have a game on the beach!

Trouble was, we lost the ball, again!

No, You had it last!
We met the lads and young Marley crept up on Old Two Legs and offered to chase the ball if he had another!


I'll chase the ball for you OTL!
 Wot a creep!

The ferrets had fun and had a super game of 'Chase' down wot OTL calls the 'Ferret Track' which is a path both sets of ferrets have created a path that they just love to race down.


Hey! Your brake lights aren't working!
 After the race down the track it's only a quick dash to the car!

Lunchtime we went searching for the ball again but I think the tide has washed it out to sea!

Well, I can't see it down here either!
 Eric and May also love the 'Ferret Track' but Eric is not as fast as May 'cos he likes to stop and enjoy each sniff!

That always causes a 'Crash'!

Come on Eric, shift your butt!
 Once they are out of the track we end up on the short grass path where we wander along acting like the tough Woofer Pack!

No one messes with us!
Mind you, we haven't met any nasty woofers but we still look good!

There is forecast of rain and high wind over the next few days so we will need to find our rain coats.

The ferrets don't have rain coats so if it is too wet they will just have to make do with a rampage around the house while we are out getting wet!

You know they really have a hard life!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Windy and a little colder.

Hi Woofers!

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

It has been a little drafts today and the ferrets have stayed wrapped up in Old Two Legs arms instead of wriggling to get onto the ground!

Mind you, when we got to the beach they had to get down and go for a forced run along the sand!

No, nothing new today!
Max and Oscar said they would be glad when they get back home and I must say I was thinking the same thing!

We should have worn our Winter Coats!
Lunchtime it was just as windy but the tide was right in. Miss May was running along the beach but didn't chance getting too close to the waves 'cos they were bigger than yesterday and looked a lot wetter!

I'm watching you!
Eric was a bit slow in getting moving but once he got going he was like a rocket! We were charging along when we met a gang of woofers we know. Eric and May had to be picked up but we couldn't hang around 'cos Eric and May wanted to get down and go charging through the grass along a path they had made from running along the same path every day!

It has now got so worn that even Wendy and Freddy have started to use it as well!

No sign of the Cetti's Warbler today so it must have gone back to the reeds where it is warmer!

Let's hope things pick up soon 'cos Spring is just around the corner!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Wot Is It and Can We Eats it Precious?

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, we are experiencing some 'Low Pressure', you can tell that 'cos the waves have gone!

No Wind, No Waves, Boring!
It was so boring that Miss May decided that she would have a little paddle.

Trouble with ferrets is that their legs are rather short in relation to their body, so, their tummy is close to the ground, which means they have to be quick whenever the walk over a bump!

Now, it also follows that if they are standing on the waters edge and a little wave arrives on the shore, they will in turn end up with wet paws and a wet tummy!

Yikes! It's Wet!
Miss May found out the wet way!

Holly and I know about things like that, so, unless I'm going in for a swim, we stay well back from the water!

No, just the same boring sniffs!
I had fun winding Old Two Legs up by asking if he could get some climbing gear so I can climb the Rock Wall!

A Harness, some Safety Ropes and Crampons?
I won't tell you what he said 'cos it's rude!

As we all headed towards the concrete stairs Holly and I rushed on to the grass and went into Serious Sniff Mode!

Eric and May came along behind but stopped on the stairs 'cos there was a little bird looking all cold and tired with it's head tucked under it's wing, fast asleep!

But wot is it Precious?
OTL had to hold back the ferrets who wanted to do the 'Chicken Taste Test' and this little bird didn't even know they were there, licking their lips!

In the end the bird woke up and fluttered a couple of feet away from two sniffing little ferrets!

OTL couldn't identify it but with the couple of dodgy snaps he had enough to go on for when he got home to look in the bird book!

Any ideas?
Well, to stop you all worrying, OTL reckons it is a Cetti's Warbler. He has often heard this little bird calling but never seen it in 'Real Life' so that is another he has ticked off his list.

Now, the next one he has to find is a Bullfinch!

Not that we've ever seen any down on the beach!

Hey! We guessed right, Izzy's third little woofer is called Jean Genie!

The Missus said the she would just love one to stay with us but OTL said that our pack is big enough thank you and we rather agree with him!

We can sniff chicken cooking down stairs so we are off!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

An Overload of Cute!

Hi Woofers!

It's us back on a rather mild Sunday, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

Down here in North Kent the temperature has got to the dizzy height of ten degrees!

Not exactly sun bathing weather but well on the way!

There was the normal quota of visitors wandering up and down the Sea Wall and we even got chased along the wall by a family who had stroked the ferrets before and wanted another stroke!

We met up with Barney II who was just Tickled Pink to say hello to Old Two Legs and get his tailed tickled!

Yo! OTL!
We got some pictures from little Izzy of her new family, she has named two of them, Major Tom and Lady Stardust. We are still waiting for the third name, wot about 'Jean Genie'?

Dead posh those names are but we didn't know Izzy was a David Bowie fan, you Little Rocker you!


This weaning lark can get complicated!

OK, Who's got the Doggy Scoff?
This is how to do cute!
Ooops! This cushion is slippy!

It's hard being super cute!

OK, let's try that again!
Well, that's it for today, super lazy, super cute and dinner is on it's way!

Now, before we go, Archie Babe has just got to stop sticking his nose and tongue into yukky stuff even if they sniff super!

That way you won't get grumbly tums!

If it carries on like this you will have to wear that muzzle every time you go out the front door, remember, that's not good for your street cred!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

We get visitors!

Hi Woofers!

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

We love the weekend, you never know what is going to happen. It could be a really lazy time with Old Two Legs while The Missus is out at a Master Class or Crop Thingy or the place could get turned up side down by visitors!

Today was one of those 'Upside Down' sort of days!

It started with OTL getting up a little later than normal which of course made everything else a bit later than normal.

Our run on the beach with Wendy and Fred was good fun 'cos May found a sniff that was calling out to be rolled in, by all of us!

You should have seen OTL jumping up and down trying to get control of two ferrets and a couple of woofers!

No Chance!

Back home TM was cooking up some Lambs Heart and the sniff filled the house! So, while we stuffed our tummies, OTL went to work on the ferret cages.

He seemed in a bit of a hurry today and even forgo the normal chase around the house and a roll on the carpet, for the ferrets!

Almost as soon as they were reinstalled into their cages, there came a knock on the front door.

Holly and I were not expecting any callers so we got into 'Woofer Mode' and gave it some serious 'Woof Off' growls and woofs.

The front door was opened and in stepped Auntie Jane, Uncle Ian and three little puppies!

The puppies were Alfie, Oscar and Louie!

That was it, Holly decided to retreat to the bedroom to guard her Bonio treat while I legged it into OTL's office to protect the ferrets, and my Bonio!

Out comes the camera and OTL has few clicks before he has to go out to do some work.

I can do cute without trying!
 Holly and I decided to go back upstairs onto our bed and wait until OTL came back, at least we would keep out of trouble!

Like all puppies, they don't last too long before they needed a sleep!

Having a Snooze Break!
 Now these three are all brothers and are a Jack Russell, Poodle cross, so that makes them Jack Doodles!

I must admit that two of them look a bit like Holly and I did when we were puppies but Louie definitely has the Jack Russell look about him, even when he's asleep!

Louie.
 When OTL came back Louie made a great fuss of him and OTL said that he could stay if he wants but Auntie Jane said that there was no chance!

We love Auntie Jane!

No, we want to stay with Mummy!
 After they left we headed off to the beach and being the weekend there were the normal strangers walking along the Sea Wall and there were the normal questions like............what are they?

One thing we did notice was the shape of the sky, it looked like the sand on the sea shore after the tide has gone out!

Well, it's just gone high tide!
We reckon that there is a warm front heading our way so maybe tomorrow it will be a lot warmer!

Now we are off to see what is for dinner!

See you all tomorrow1

Luv,

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

It's Friday at last!

Hi Woofers,

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

Another cold day but not as cold as yesterday! Mind you, it is Winter and the colder it is the more bugs get zapped so we don't suffer from biting bugs in the summer!

You know it was so cold Old Two Legs didn't bother with the camera this morning!

It took young Freddy a little while to get going on the beach but once he had warmed up, he was off like a shot, heading back to a warm comfortable travelling cage in the back of the car!

We remembered what he was like when we first welcomed him to our pack, he would spend ages just looking at the bushes and the sky and saying that he 'Didn't know there was so much!

Nowadays he is all tearing about sniffing all the sniffs and almost keeping up with May as she enjoys a good run along the grass path!

Lunchtime we were back again but with May and Eric this time. Now Eric is a bit of a 'Freddy Clone' with regard to this walking lark. It's OK spending all your time in a warm cage with soft bedding but a walk in the fresh air or a dig on the beach really gets your fur to stand up!

Well, it was like that with Eric. At the Ferret Rescue he and his brothers and sisters were in the open air but still in a cage, so they got fresh air but no rampaging!

To begin with Eric was a little unsure of himself and spent most of the time looking at the sky and all the bushes and then he does a 'Freddy' which is 'Roll on your back and wait to be picked up'!

Miss May is a bit of a 'Fast Lady' and enjoys a good run. If Eric wasn't keeping up she would rush back and give him a shove!

It didn't take Eric long to pick up on the walking lark and although his isn't as fast as May, he does keep a good pace!

OK girl, race you to the steps!

 Everyone has their limit and Eric is no different, there comes a time when the strain of keeping his tummy off the ground does tend to make him a bit tired, so, he stops and waits until OTL crouches down so Eric can run up and jump onto OTL's leg so he can get a carry for a little while.

Now this is causing OTL a problem 'cos when OTL wants to take a picture of Eric, Eric thinks that OTL is offering a lift and he goes rushing over to OTL and up he goes!

So, the only way to get a picture of Eric it for OTL to wait and 'Ambush' Eric as he tries to climb the steps!

You did this yesterday!
 Holly reckons that we should do a 'Freddy' and roll over onto our backs and wait for OTL to pick us up and carry us back to the car!


Wot about a lift OTL?
 OTL says that if we can both climb into the ferret bag he would give us a lift!

I don't reckon that Holly could get her head in the bag, never mind her butt!

So, us woofers are back on our paws again!

OTL has got to go out tomorrow morning to do some work, now that's a bit much, I mean, hasn't his customers learnt that the weekend is for resting!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Wot with the wind as well, it has been Icking cold down here!

Hi Woofers!

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

I don't know what it's been like up your end of the world but down here it hasn't got above freezing all day!

When we got to the beach it was minus two degrees and with a stiff wind blowing we reckon the windchill added two or three minuses to that!

It was so cold that Old Two Legs didn't get the camera out 'cos it was too cold to take his paws out of his pocket, having forgotten his 'Winter Gloves'!

Wendy and Freddy were in a hurry to get back to the car and I must admit, Holly and I didn't hang about either!

Lunchtime it was May and Eric's turn to come out for a walk. They had a walk on the grass path as they headed down to the beach. Mind you, they kept on climbing up OTL's leg to get back into his arms for a cuddle!

On the beach Holly spotted a Wormy Man waiting for the tide to recede so he could start digging.
  
Has he stopped for a wee?
 Of course he had just stopped to watch the water!

If I had a wee now those woofers will see me!
 Eric wasn't hanging about either 'cos the wind was still blowing and it was still one degrees below freezing!

Normally Eric would hang around and maybe do a 'Freddy' by rolling on his back or sniffing around but today it all Go Go Go!


Out of my way, these rocks are cold!
We were sad to read about Storm yesterday, so, we are keeping our claws crossed he gets sorted out!

We were told that we may get a visit on Saturday by three little woofers called Alfie, Oscar and Louie! Yep! It looks like they have got over being stabbed with needles and now are protected against all those nasty bugs!

Mind you, we will have to be on our best behaviour 'cos they are bound to have a wee or a poo on the carpet and we don't want to get blamed!

OTL says he will be there with the camera to take some photo's!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Foggy, Foggy Day!

Hello Woofers!

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

Wot a gloomy day it has been.

We got up late, looked out of the window and couldn't see the end of the road, too much fog!

It was better down on the beach but there was still too much fog to be able to see over to Sheerness!

I'm getting fed up with this  fog stuff!
 Mind you, I did see the Brant Geese again but they didn't hang about for a chat!

You know, Holly's given us a bad reputation!
There was one bird watcher we spotted but we were not too sure of what he was looking at 'cos there was just too much fog!

I spy with my little telescope, Fog!
Back home there was some Lambs Heart waiting, so we had a good excuse to stuff our chops and crash out on our Day Beds!

Lunchtime we were down on beach again with May and Eric.

Eric was having fun digging in the sea shells and rummaging around in some of the exposed roots of the Sea Kale.

Miss May on the other paw was charging around the beach.

Old Two Legs wanted to take a photo of me, just for Archie Babe, so I stood there striking pose.

OTL suddenly said, 'Watch, it'!

Watch Wot?
 Then she was there, a fast moving ferret going at Ferret Speed Mach Three!

 I just had time to move to the side as she screamed past me!

A Fast Flying Ferret!
It was like that, all the way home! Both May and Eric were running and sniffing along the grass path all the way back to the car park!

It was still foggy so rather than investigating the sniffs in the garden we all crept off to OTL's office and fell asleep on our Day Bed!

We know how to live!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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