Friday and the Sun Shone!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super day Doris has left us! Yesterday it was all wet and windy and today, sun shine!

Down on the beach we had a good game of 'Dig and Whizz' while Old Two Legs was trying to get Freddy started! Freddy was so taken with the warm sun shine he said he wanted to try some sun bathing, especially as it didn't involve getting wet!

Just like Archie Babe, he doesn't do wet!

Almost deep enough for a swim!

 He found a depression in the sea shells and snuggled down. It was only OTL blowing on the 'Squeaker' that got him up and waddling towards the car!

Nah! Leave me here to catch a few rays while you go and bring the car here!

 It was the same at lunchtime, both May and Eric wanted to stay on the beach all afternoon but OTL had some work to do, so that stopped all the sun bathing today!

All we need is a couple more degrees and it will be splashy time!

Back home Holly and I did some damage to a big bowl of chicken, leaving a few mouthfuls for later on tonight before bed!

The Missus was out with her mates so we didn't get any 'Treats' for eating all our dinner and OTL didn't seem to understand when we were calling out 'Treats! Treats! Treats!'

You know it got so bad that Holly had to get him to move some of TM's plastic boxes full of craft stuff to allow Holly access to the three 'Nodular Biscuits' Miss May hid after opening the cupboard yesterday!

Today OTL was getting a bit worried 'cos while sitting at his desk he could hear a banging sound coming from the kitchen. Yes, it was Miss May again getting into the cupboard to pinch another three biscuits to replace the ones Holly had 'Rescued' earlier. She was trying to get out by pushing the door open with her nose then ducking down to pick up the biscuit and of course the door banged shut!

It was only when she got angry and picked up the biscuit and rushed at the door did she get out!

Another lesson learned!

TM is off on Sunday, so we have been checking up on the stock of grub left for us. If there is not enough then OTL will be down the town with his list of Doggy Food Essentials!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Weasel-like Stinky Thief!

Hello Woofers!

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

Now, I know we have some fans out there who even find the ferrets warm and cuddly!

Did you know they have a Latin name that roughly translates as ' Weasel-like Stinky Thief'!

When we heard that we thought that it was a little rude to call a ferret a 'Stinky Thief'!

That was until we sniffed Wendy going into 'Attack Mode' and letting one go that made our eyes water!

OK then, a bit sniffy maybe, but a thief? Well that was until this morning when Old Two Legs witnessed Miss May doing a 'Breaking and Entering' to get some of our biscuits!

A Safe place to keep our biscuits!

Someone Sniffs food!

Someone works out the 'Hinge Theory'

...and then the 'Lever Theory'

We're In!

A Little 'Leg Up'

Don't forget to bring your tail in as well!

This Breaking and Entering was done four times and at one time she was joined by Eric but he couldn't get his nose in the door and waddled off with the 'Huff'!

Storm Doris arrived and sent some dark clouds down to us, together with a bit of rain that managed to soak us all!

It's Doris's back end!

After our lunchtime walk in the wind, Michael and Sue arrived at the house. We were going to take them down the Sea Wall but they decided that it was too windy, too wet and too cold!

So, they stayed with The Missus while May and Eric, Holly and I went for a stroll!





I was glad to get back, not because it was windy but because I had left a Bonio under my sleeping cushion and I didn't want Holly Chops to find it before me!

She didn't, but she found hers under her cushion!

TM is starting to pack her suitcase ready for her holiday, so many things to sort out, like, do I wrap the binoculars in Bubble Wrap?

I mean, she has loads of clothing in the case, why bubble wrap?

We headed off for a pre dinner snooze and left her to it!

 See you tomorrow!

Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss (Weasel-like Stinky Thief) May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

Pongo & Phew!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, as you know, Holly and I were off to the Poodle Parlour today to get washed, sploshed and generally tarted up!

Before we headed off to the parlour we had our walk down on the beach with Wendy and Fred.

Holly decided that she was going to make the Poodle Parlour work for their money and straight away did her famous 'Nose Dive and Roll' in the sand and when she came out of it she said 'Wash that lot out!'

.....and a bit under my chin!

 Now, it wasn't sunny at all, in fact it was horrid grey and right dismal, in fact if you looked at the picture you would believe it was a B&W photo!

No, Honest, it's Colour!

Unfortunately, we missed out on the lunchtime walk but Eric and May went for a walk with Old Two Legs and had a great time playing in the sand!

Shift over Eric, I wanna dig here!

 While everyone was having fun Holly and I got 'The Treatment' and ended up sniffing like a accident at Dior's Goods In!

Finally OTL arrived and paid over his pension to get us out!

That was it, off home via the beach for a quick wee before the rain set in!

So, here we are getting ready for dinner!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Who nicked Spring!

Hi Woofers,

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

Wot a change from yesterday! I mean, there it was all sunshine and balmy breezes and then today, what did we get?

Grey clouds!

Not exactly the brightest day this week!

Mind you, I did make up for it. I found this super pile of stink on the sand and just dived in!

Oh Woofin' Heck! Is she in trouble!

And I was, I got a full wash and scrub and on top of that my harness had to be washed as well!

Mind you, Freddy did a roll but missed out on the poo!

I must say, it does have a sort of buzz to it!

As we got closer to the car, Wendy and Freddy ran onto the 'Ferret Path'. It's funny how all of the ferrets use the same path through grass!

Come on, shift your tail!

Lunchtime it was May and Eric's turn to have a run on the beach and Miss May said she couldn't find any poo to roll in and she felt she was missing out!

Old Two Legs told her she  would only get a scrubbing in a bowl of soap suds!

Oh No! Not the Soap Suds!

Eric had a great time digging a trench down the beach and kept on looking around to see if anyone was watching his 'Engineering'!

McAlpine has nothing on me!

Holly and I had some fun doing a 'Fast Dig' while the ferrets watched and hopefully pick up some ideas on hole digging!

OK, second gear!

 Holly got going and in the end there was sand being thrown all over the place and even the ferrets got covered!

Eric ran off and May asked OTL to pick her up, just to get out of the sand shower!

Quick OTL, save me from the Sand Storm!

Back home we left OTL to finish off his messing about on the computer while we all headed for our 'Snoozing Beds'!

See you all tomorrow when we should look like a couple of poodles 'cos it's our 'Shampoo and Set day!

Now, today is also Auntie Sue's birthday!

We have been working on a new 'Birthday Song' so, take a deep breath and here goes!

Happy Birthday to Sooo!
Loads of sniffs and a poooo!
Happy Birthday Missy Soosey............
Happy Birthday to Yooooooooooooooo!

Luv,

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

It feels like Spring today!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a wonderful day it's been today!

If we ignore the fact that both Holly and I have got a 'Grumbly Tum' for something we have both eaten, today has been super!

We got down onto the beach with Wendy and Freddy and had a great time on the sand.

Both ferrets we running around digging holes while Holly and I tormented Old Two Legs by rolling on the sand and ignoring his instructions to 'Get Up'! 

Any closer and your tail is Mine!

Looking out over the river Medway was great 'cos the sun was shining and the sky was almost clear of clouds!

A real Spring Day!

Holly Chops just couldn't stop herself, sore butt or no!

Holly getting sandy!

When we got back with May and Eric, the sun was still shining down onto the beach. Eric and May were digging trenches while I got going with a couple of holes!

Everyone was rolling on the sand as well!

Of course I joined in but instead of rolling around, I went for a bit of 'Dig and Whizz' all up and down the beach and just for fun I was pushing the sand back into the ferrets trenches!

Sand? Me? No! Not Me!

Then we decided to have a contest, The Best Sand Hole' with OTL deciding on the winner!

After much deliberation he said that Miss May had the most impressive hole especially as she was a ferret with short legs!

Oi! My hole is the best!

Both Holly and I though that OTL had been 'got at' 'cos we saw May sitting on his shoulder and giving his ear a lick!

Back home OTL spent a couple of hours installing four new bird nesting boxes and he also took down two that had got past their best!

So, now there are three sparrow boxes on the shed while the one for Blue Tits has been moved to the branch of the tree in the garden.

We still have the bird box with a camera in it but being it is for sparrows, we expect they will load it up with grass and stuff and block the camera lens as they did last year!

Now, we have also seen Ratty raiding the seed fallen from the bird feeder. He or she, is still on their own so OTL has been hunting out the Rat Trap that spent the winter behind the shed!

Now we have been here before and Ratty has been too sneaky in the past and ignored the tempting food pile on the trigger plate!

Still, if we don't trap Ratty, OTL will get the camera out to get him on film!

Now this morning I was reading Izzy's comments and went all shivery and cold remembering when I had the chip dug into my shoulder! It was horrible and only made me very afraid of the vet! Still, it doesn't hurt any more but at the time...........Ouch!

So, that's it for today, The Missus is getting her stuff ready for her trip to the U.S.A. and OTL has had the first delivery of frozen meals on plastic plates!

He'll do anything to get out of the washing up!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

He's Back!

Hi Woofers!

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

We just loved the extra room there is on the bed last night! As much as we love Old Two Legs, there is something to be said for stretching out your front and back paws and not touching anyone else!

We got news that OTL was packing up and then heading to the breakfast bar to get his 'Rabbit Food' before setting off for home.

Holly and I had heard OTL complaining about the vast number of 'Mini Two Legs' there were in the hotel and this morning there were a load of them all dressed up in pointed hats and dressed in Hogwarts school gowns!

They were all off to the 'Harry Potter Experience'!

OTL has been there and says it is 'Really Cool'!

After the morning walk we headed up to the bedroom window where we spent hours looking out of the window waiting for the Big Car to arrive back.

Then, a bit later than expected, there it was driving down the road.

Well, Holly and I went just a teeny weeny bit potty!

After OTL had unpacked all his stuff we settled down for a chat and a little cuddle before dinner!

Daddy's Home!

So, a little snooze and now we are off to see what we can pinch!

See you all tomorrow!

The bed is going to get crowded again tonight!

Luv,

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

We meet the Ladies that Craft!

Yo Woofers!

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

Now, you know that Old Two Legs has left us for the weekend, so, that means we have to fit in with The Missuses plans which include spending hours up at the village hall 'Crafting'!

Well, Holly and I did the expected thing of saying 'Hello' to everyone and seeing if we could snaffle any food that may be left unguarded!

We both got nibbles!

The ferrets got a run around at home while TM was cleaning the cages. Crafty TM shut the ferrets out of the office while she cleaned the poo out and prevented Miss May from doing a 'Ferret Boo'!

When Freddy and Wendy were out, Wendy got lost behind the filing cabinet and had Old Two Legs not warned TM about the hiding place, young Wendy might still be there!

OTL is having fun and we believe he has got a couple of books to read over the next few weeks.

I'm not too sure on what has upset me but I've got a 'Grumbly Tum', Holly reckons it is the chew I have kept hidden in the office for the last two weeks, just 'cos it has some green furry stuff on it!

I think it is because I'm missing OTL, still, I've got one of his coats to sleep on so I still can pretend he is here with me giving me a cuddle while I snooze!

With a bit of luck he should be home tomorrow so I will have the 'Real OTL Sniff' to cuddle up to!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

He's Gone!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, today's blog is going to be shorter than normal and on top of that, there are no pictures!

We were out early this morning, but not early enough to catch the sun rise, so no 'Ethereal Sunrise' pictures!

In fact there were no pictures at all 'cos as soon as we got to the beach there were loads of the gang sniffing around and Two Legs talking to Old Two Legs!

We took May and Eric out in the morning 'cos Freddy and Wendy, after their morning slurp of Lactose Free milk and a chew of Chicken Strip they headed back to bed for a snooze and OTL said it was terrible to wake them up to go for a walk!

So, instead we took Eric and Wendy!

Wendy was all up for a rampage around the beach and the Grass Path but Eric was a little slow and at one point he even got OTL to carry him!

Back home it was all rush and tear to get the cages cleaned and food bowls filled before OTL had to leave.

We were excited thinking that we were going too but got all sad when OTL waved 'Bye Bye' and left us with The Missus!

Both Holly and I sat by the window for a while thinking OTL might change his mind and come back but he has been gone so long that I think he is well on his way up the M1 motorway!

We are looking forward to seeing what TM does with the ferret cages tomorrow and what the ferrets get up to when they have their rampage around the house with TM to keep them in line!

Some hope!

Now trying to decide which two babies to give away must be terrible but as long as you make sure the TL's that come to take them away are properly vetted, sniffed and looked at make sure they play with the puppy before you let them out of your sight!

Oh! and another thing, make sure you get reports and pictures of their progress!

We all had to leave Mum but as long as we get loved it is OK!

Let's face it, we did alright!

We will have a chat with OTL tonight and make sure he is missing us!

So, see you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Nothing like a good Exfoliate!

Hello Woofers!

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

Wot a super day today. The sun has been shining all day and the wind has been gentle as well!

We spotted a Wormy Man out on the mud, digging for all he was worth! Old Two Legs took a photo then started singing the Twelve Days of Christmas, but our version!

I can't remember all of the words but it ended up with.....................

.......Two Scruffy Dogs and a Very Merry Muddy Wooormy Man!

Wendy and Freddy didn't join in the song 'cos they were trying to beat me up to the grass path, but I got ahead of them 'cos I have longer legs and can run faster that they can!

Hey Ferrets! Kiss the Tail!

Freddy said that he would bite 'The Tail' if he could get any closer, but he's got to catch me first!

OTL was busy this morning getting everything cleared up and finished 'cos he is away this weekend with his cousin Alun.

We reckon it is going to be wot The Missus calls a 'Boozy Weekend'!

Lunchtime it was still all sun shine and balmy breezes, there were the normal quota of Mini Two Legs enjoying their 'Half Term Holiday'

May and Eric had fun on the sand, digging and sniffing all over the place!

Can you see it? I can still feel the sand in my tail!

 May had the answer to Eric's sand problem, she dived onto the Sea Kale and had a good 'Exfoliate'
on the leaves!

Come on Eric, this is the way!

Holly and I spent the afternoon snoozing in the office while OTL was working. As he is off tomorrow we didn't want him to forget just how cuddly we are!

Mind you, when OTL is away we might be able to get a bit more of the bed, providing that TM doesn't kick us off the bed!

It will be fun watching TM when she cleans out the ferret cages 'cos all the ferrets just love sneaking up on OTL to give him a 'Ferret Boo!'

That normally ends up with OTL banging his head on the cage roof!

We'll let you know what happens!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Sun Shine for a change!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what a change we have had today. The sun was up early this morning and the temperature has been above ten degrees all day!

Getting warmer every day!

Fred and Wendy had a great time running around  on the beach but had a better time chasing Holly and I along the grass path!

Lunchtime we were back again with May and Eric. Holly and I showed them how to enjoy a roll on the beach!

Yer work it in under the harness!

 Holly was showing off he 'Nose Dive and Ear Rub' but both ferrets decided it was just too 'Doggy' for them!

Then yer rub it in!

 May and Eric had a great time sniffing all the sniffs along the grass path and running through the 'Ferret Track' that they and Wendy and Freddy have been making over the months!

Having small legs means that the ferrets have to run twice as fast as us woofers so that means they get a bit thirsty by the time we got back to the car.

Holly and I get left behind to sniff around the picnic tables while the ferrets enjoy a cooling drink before getting back into their travelling cage for a cuddle and a snooze before we get home.

It's her making the slurping noise, honest!

 Now we have had some news via FaceAche thingy that Michael had a successful operation on his nose and is now back home again being looked after by Sue!

Now, we have to report some disturbing news, poor Archie Babe had to have a wash and hair cut!

That must be terrible for such a fine lad, especially when the wind gets under your tail and you have no bushy hair to stop your butt from freezing!

Mind you, Holly and I have got that indignity booked in for next Wednesday, just how will we survive!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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