Windy or Wot!

Hi Woofers!

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

We love Fridays, we get a chance to woof our tails off at the dustbin men come around making loads of noise with the plastic bins!

Not that the bin men care about us woofing 'cos we are indoors or inside the car!

But it's a woofer thing and we do enjoy a good woof!

When we were out this morning it was very, very windy! It was blowing the waves ashore and producing 'White Horses' on the waves!

Looks too cold for swimming!

 Holly and I were up the beach enjoying the sniffs and as Old Two Legs was trying to get Wendy and Freddy to have a run along the beach but they were still half asleep!

With OTL busy with the ferrets Holly and I had a super roll in the sniffs!

How long do you think we got before he starts shouting?

Of course, as soon as OTL spotted us he was jumping up and down, as normal!

Freddy was looking at the steps that come up from the beach and was trying to decide if they were bigger than the ones we have at home.

Well, I reckon they are bigger and there's no carpet either!

Back home we snuggled up on the bed and spent a good time woofing at the bin men. You see, they send one truck to collect the paper, then there is another to collect the garden rubbish and waste food and after that there is yet another truck that collects the 'Rubbish, Rubbish' !

Three lots of woofs, you can't get better than that! 

Lunchtime, not much has changed except the tide has taken the water out and all we have is sand and rock pools!

May and Eric had trouble getting going when they got onto the beach. It had been so comfortable and warm being tucked up in OTL's arms on the way down to the beach.

No, I don't want to start walking either!

Of course, in the end they had to get moving and it was a run all the way back to the car!

OTL has got to make a decision regarding tonight's dinner, does he have ham salad or a whole pizza. Now, a ham salad is supposed to be good for him but there is more green stuff than ham, so that means Holly and I will not get our full share of ham!

Now, if he has a pizza, that means Holly and I will get the sausage slices from the topping, but, eating a whole pizza will end up with OTL getting indigestion later on tonight when he is asleep!

I think it will be a ham salad which is rather boring!

We hope Archie Babes visit to the vet goes well, an itch butt is not a thing I would wish on anyone. Holly knows all about itchy butts. When she gets the grumbly tum she has to rub her butt on the ground, not that it helps but it sort of arranges her butt that needs a good wash!

Yep! OTL was busy with the wet wipes 'cos Holly still has the grumbly tum but it's getting better!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another wet one!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's done it again! The clouds sort of ganged up and the next thing we knew was the frogs were complaining they were getting wet!

We looked at the rain radar and decided to get going before the main cloud arrived with all that rain!

Let's get a wee done and back to the car!

Before we headed back Two Legs got a shot of the old tower in the middle of the estuary and it wasn't until we looked at the picture that we saw some writing on the wall, it says 'Lurker'...........no neither do we!

All we need is some sun shine!

 Back home OTL was cleaning the ferret cages, his morning chores, the ferrets have a great time 'cos OTL makes each cage cleaning last about an hour. That way the ferrets get a good rampage around the house, getting into trouble and messing about in The Missus's crafty stuff!

Have you ever seen a ferret with glitter on its tail!

Holly has been troubled with a Grumbly Tum over the last couple of days but today she had an irresistible urge to eat some grass.

Now I know what that means, you just gotta have some grass. Unfortunately the carpet in OTL's office doesn't have any grass growing out of it, so we needed a walk!

Holly did the jumping up and hitting the back of OTL's chair. OTL being a good OTL got us dressed in our harnesses and the ferrets boxed up in their travelling cage and off we went at eleven thirty!

Holly soon disappeared into the undergrowth looking for some grass and a place to poo!

I ran down to the beach but the tide was still far out so I had some fun running up and down the beach.

Come on! Catch me if you can!

 As we got to the end of the beach it started, drip, drip, the rain started. So, what could we do? That's it, head back to the car!

Holly was ahead of us so we all started to chase Holly Dog along the top path. There were times when the ferrets were keeping up with me!

Come on you two, not far now!

Holly slowed down a little 'cos she just couldn't resist stopping at a patch of grass that looked tasty!

I caught up with Holly and the ferrets were catching up fast!

I'm not getting any closer to her backside, she's got the Grumbles!

Back home we were served up with chicken, that filled our tummies and we headed off to the office for a snooze under the desk until dinner time!

Now, we liked the idea that we become official tasters for the Doggy Scoff Factory but so far we haven't found any scoff that even tastes like food. Can you imagine it, Here Is Our Report.........tastes like poo!

I don't think we would be employed for very long!

So, I think we will keep robbing OTL for now!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Damp Woofers R Us!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a Yucky Day!

It has been wet and drizzly all day today.

The rest of the UK has been all sun shine and balmy breezes but down here in North Kent, it has been WET!

The ferrets were all up for a run this morning, the outside temperature was just right for them but the wet grass did have an effect on their fur, it got them wet all over!

It was the same for Holly and I, wet tummy, wet paws, wet back, wet tail and a wet head as well!

Of course, when we decided to go into the undergrowth for a wee or a poo, we got wet all over!

You in there Holly Chops?

Of course, Old Two Legs was all wrapped up in his winter jacket which kept him all warm and dry.

Us woofers had to make do with a rub down with our Doggy Towel when we got back to the car.

So, yesterday we had chicken and the day before, Lambs heart but today what did we get?

Posh Scoff!

Now normally we get a 10p tin of Doggy Scoff which tastes horrid but after a serious chat with The Missus she agreed to get us some scoff that tastes like meat.

Today we got served up with this Posh Expensive Scoff.

It sniffed Horrid, tastes like Poo!

We are not happy woofers!

We just hope that OTL has some decent scoff we can pinch otherwise I think we will starve tonight and be poor little woofers who have wasted away over night!

See you all tomorrow, if we are still here that is!

Luv,

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

Birds and The Bees!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot sort of Bank Holiday did you have? We decided that it could have been warmer!

Now, today started out being a lot warmer, in fact, Old Two Legs even put on his light weight jacket and that is the one reserved for warm days!

This morning on the beach Wendy and Fred even went for a walk in the rock pools!

Mind you, they had to keep a watch out for those crabs and Nargles!

Well, it's warm enough for Nargles!

 As we were coming off the beach we heard a cuckoo giving it some and it wasn't too long before we spotted it sitting up the top of a tree.

OTL had his telephoto lens on the camera and he managed to get this shot.

Cuckoo giving it some!

 Maybe later we will be able to get a better shot when the sun comes out and he is in full voice!

 Lunchtime we were down the beach again with May and Eric hunting Nargles! Eric was ducking and diving amongst the rock pools. Just like Freddy, no Nargles were seen!

No Nargle sniffs here!

 Although it was warm, the clouds looked like they were holding a lot of water so I decided that I should have myself a really good roll in some sniffy stuff on the beach.

You should have seen OTL jumping up and down and yelling 'Noooooooooooooo!'

He had the ferrets on their leads so he couldn't get to me!

Success! 

Yo! OTL, you can't catch me!

 Mind you, Miss May was helping me by trying to get OTL to pick her up for a carry!

Go on, just a little carry?

 As we headed up the grass path OTL spotter a Shrill Carder Bee munching away on the flowers.

Now, the wind was wafting the flowers about so we didn't get a super sharp photo but one good enough to identify the bee.

I know I'm a rare bee but I'm also hungry!

I reckon that pretty soon OTL will be bringing the big camera with the macro lens so he can try for some other insect photo's!

We were sad to hear that Barney is heading for the Rainbow Bridge but if he is hurting it is the best for him.

We are happy that you have seen the frogy's in your garden Archie Babe, we have some in the pond but the number has reduced and we think they have all disappeared into the grass and 'Wild Life Garden' at the end of our garden!

It's all go here! Birds, Bees and Frogs!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Monday, Monday.

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, did you know the banks were all closed? Old Two Legs managed to get into his bank account by going 'On Line' so he's not too worried about banks closing!

We were expecting a sunny day today but it was rather overcast this morning, in fact it was rather yucky!

I don't suppose we'll get a sun tan today!

We didn't even stop for a dig on the beach, mainly 'cos it started to rain and you know just how much Holly Chops loves rain!

Back home it was another lazy day, OTL did his chores, played with the ferrets, sorted out the cages and then took a quick look at some paperwork on top of his desk. He didn't look at it for too long 'cos it was his Tax Return and he says that he doesn't like Tax Returns 'cos they cost him money!

Lunchtime we got into a big storm, well, it rained enough to put the windscreen wipers on full time!

Down on the beach the rain was still there but only in light showers. Not enough to keep us in the car but wet enough to get yer tum wet when you walk on the grass!

Being a Bank Holiday there were loads of visitors to our beach and there were some Two Legs waving metal detectors over the sand! One of them said they had found a pound coin!

Then there were the woofers, loads of them, OTL was having trouble picking the ferrets up every time we spotted a woofer!

Look! More Woofers!

 It was good to get back home, at least it was dry in doors and we could enjoy a good snooze!

Back to work tomorrow and of course there is that horrid Tax Return!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Sunday

Hi Woofers!

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

I know it is Bank Holiday this weekend, which means we get to stay in bed on Monday morning just a little later than normal!

Wot I don't understand is why we get so many, all split up and spread around all over the place? I mean, why not put them all together and have a really long Bank Holiday Week!

Old Two Legs was up early, mainly because I stepped on his head and gave his ear a good licking!

Down on the beach we hunted for the Hermit Crab but it seems he has returned to the distant rock pools.

Wendy and Freddy did a good 'Sneaky' and crept up on Holly Chops while she was enjoying the sun.

Freddy got close and said 'BOO'!

Holly said something that sounded like ARGH!!!!!

Then she tried to jump out of her fur!

'BOOOOOOOO!..........ARGGGGGGGGH!

 I must admit it was so funny! I was laughing so much that OTL thought I was rolling in the sand!

Oh No! That was Sooooo Funny

 Holly had the only reply that seemed to be appropriate.

A Whacking Great Raspberry!

PppThhhhhhhUPPPPPP!

The Missus has recorded the F1 Race today, so we are off to watch that and afterwards OTL is going to have steak and chips. We don't do chips but Holly and I will be helping him with the steak!

See you tomorrow, and remember, the banks are closed tomorrow!

Luv,

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

First Sign of Summer!

Hello Woofers!

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

OK, paws up all who spotted a typographical error yesterday?

Yep! That's it, Eric instead of Freddy!

Old Two Legs says it was Claw Trouble!

Never mind, Eric and Freddy don't mind, just as long as they get their walks!

Down on the beach we found the whelk shell we saw yesterday. We first checked to see if anyone was inside but we could see nothing. So, OTL picked it up from the rock pool and put it on top of a rock.

Holly and I went up to it for a sniff when we heard it say 'Whelkome to The Rock Pool'!

Whelkome!

Now that was a bit weird, so both Holly and I were off like a rocket, I mean, talking shells!

Freddy was a little braver or stupid and went up to ask why he was still here after the last two high tides.

Well, says the whelk, I'm not really big enough to hump this shell over all the rocks, so I will wait for a while until I get bigger, then I'll be off!

Freddy asked why a big shell is easier to move than a small one. It isn't, says the whelk shell, I'm talking about me!

It was then that Freddy spotted the tiny Hermit Crab inside the shell!

Now it makes sense!

Sorry says Freddy, didn't see you at first! Good says the crab, it also helps when something is after you for dinner!

We left the crab to get on with it and Freddy and Wendy went off to dig a sand pit!

OK, wot about here?

 There was a load off woofing coming down the Sea Wall and we spotted a little ball of fluff and nose. It was a stranger to our corner of the world and we kept an eye on it to make sure he stayed away from the ferrets and us!

OK, if it stops at the top of the steps we'll give it a good woofing!

 Fortunately, the woofer was on a lead and got dragged up the path before it got to us!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again with May and Eric, they went looking for the whelk shell but couldn't find it, maybe the crab had found a safe place to hide before the tide came in!

On our way back to the car we spotted a Swallow swooping across the grass hill, over all the plants!

I mean, it's the first swallow this year and I know that 'one swallow does not a summer make', but it's a jolly good sign as far as I'm concerned!

Miss May had fun rolling in the sand.

This sand make a good exfoliate material, better than grass!

Eric dug a reasonably good trench then decided to go for a jog up to the rock wall.

Come on, race you all to the top!

We got a bowl full of Lambs Heart today and although it was cold, it still tasted yummy!

TM got back from her crop thingy and actually came back with more stuff than she left with! I mean, she has got so much stuff we didn't think there is any stuff she hasn't got already!

Sunday tomorrow, we may see some more swallows arriving, claws crossed!

Bye bye for now,

Luv,

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

A busy day and Holly visits the vet again!

Hello Woofers!

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

You know, sometimes you get days that start off looking like it will be a 'Lazy Day' and then something happens and it is 'Full Steam' until bed time!

We had one of those today!

It started last night, OTL spotted that Holly Dogs left eye was leaking some stuff that looked like that 'Conjunctivitis' had come back. She got OTL to bathe her eyes and wash out the muck and then it was off to bed.

Early morning examination showed a bit more 'Sleep' than normal so a telephone call to the vets got an appointment with the locum at two thirty.

That didn't stop us from going out and this morning we headed off to the beach for game with the ferrets.

Wendy and Eric were having fun digging a trench but the couldn't decide in which direction it should go!

Listen Eric Chops, the trench goes This Way!

 As normal, Wendy reckons she knows the correct orientation of any trench but Eric really wanted it to go down to the sea side!

So, Eric carried on digging until Wendy got fed up and marched down the trench to give him a good telling off!

Not that it worried Eric, he is always getting told off, it's a ferret thing!

But I like it when it goes down hill!

 When we got back home, OTL had some stuff to get out today and that means we have to 'amuse' ourselves until he is finished.

The ferrets had a great time running all over the house while OTL did the 'Poo Shoveling' and Holly and I had a snooze on the bed!

OTL got a delivery of stuff and that also had to be delivered today as well, so that was another job to be jobbed and all before Holly's appointment!

While OTL was delivering, Holly and I stayed in the car to make sure no one tried to pinch any of the stuff in the car!

Serious woofers!

We stopped in to see The Missus who was playing up the village hall. Holly and I had great fun running around the hall 'cos it is all slippery and Holly and I go skidding all over the place!

Great Fun!

We know what is for dinner today, Doggy Scoff, we have seen the tin sitting on top of the kitchen work top.

What we haven't seen is what OTL is having tonight, well OTL and us!

Weekend tomorrow and TM is off to some sort of crop type of cardy thingy!

That means we get to watch the TV, sitting on the sofa enjoying nibbles!

Roll on tomorrow!

Bye for now.

Luv,

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

More Splashing About!

Hi Woofers!

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

No snow or hail today and no rain, so that was good! Mind you, it was chilly but warmer than yesterday. Old Two Legs tried to stop me from having a paddle but I managed a quick kick about in the rock pools. I had decided against a swim 'cos it was too cold in the water!

The tide was out and Miss Wendy decided she would go investigating the rock pools again.

Here comes some wet paws!

She managed a splash in the pools but said the water was a mixture of salt and mud!

Of course there were loads of sea shells in the rock pool but today we found a big whelk shell, I mean, normally they have been broken by the waves but this one looked intact!

Nice condition but no one is at home!

That didn't stop Miss Wendy from exploring all around the sea weed. This time she didn't find any Monsters or Nargles or even a little crab!

My paws are wet and now my tummy is soaking as well!

Up on the Sea Wall Holly Chops was watching the whole thing. Now you all know that just like Archie Babe, Holly doesn't do Water, doesn't do Wet and doesn't do Mucky Paws!

Oh! Do me a favour, you just can't get wet like that!

Back home we have all been enjoying a snooze. While OTL has been playing on the computer.

Not sure what is for dinner tonight but we have had some chicken this morning. Maybe that is what Auntie Sue should do, eat your pills then a nice big plate of chicken, all warm and greasy!

That will settle your tum!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

We get Hailed on!

Hi Woofers!

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

It is still sunny down here in North Kent. This morning we were out hunting the sniffs in the sun shine.

The plants are really growing high and now we can't see anyone coming until they come around the corner! Of course, Old Two Legs goes into panic mode picking up the ferrets before the woofers arrive!

Of course, Holly is up front and she gives OTL the 'Warning Woof' but it always a bit of a rush!

OK, all clear ahead!

The ferrets are having a great time hunting sniffs in the plants. Eric is the 'Hunter', even more than Freddy.

Freddy loves a sniff but keeps on falling over so that OTL has to pick him up!

This is a Weasel Sniff, I'm sure of it!

Of course, Eric is doing his 'Big Hunter' bit but Miss May just has to stick her nose in and gets all tangled up!

No! Don't pull, my tail is caught!

After a while May gets bored and wanders off, that means Eric can get back to his sniffing again!

I'm sure the Weasel went this way!

We went out for our lunchtime walk and managed to spot a cloud that was dumping a load of snow onto Essex but the snow turned into rain before it hit the ground.

Southend gets wash!

 Over in Kent there was a couple of rain clouds but they managed to stay away from us!

That's about Rainham who is getting a wash now!

 OTL decided to take us out for another walk 'cos our lunchtime walk was not as long as normal. The rain clouds were still around and as we headed back to the car it started to rain, then little lumps of ice started to fall out of the sky!

OTL had forgotten his hat, so the lumps of ice were bouncing off his bald head!

OTL was not happy!

We got back to the car and all of us piled in to get out of the hail storm!

Now, we thing Archie Babe was a good lad to try to keep those Birdy Babes warm but this time of the year we find the babies in our garden as well and OTL puts them in the compost bin!

I'm off to see what OTL has got for dinner tonight, maybe some more Bambi Burgers!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

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