Well, it didn't rain!

Yo! Woofers!

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

We have been rushing about today and it's all Old Two Legs fault! You see he had visitors today and they all went on for ages gassing and gassing!

It was almost as bad as The Missus and her lot when they are 'Glue Slapping'!

Well, that caused young Freddy and Wendy to have to 'Hurry Up' on their walk this morning. Not the sort of thing that we enjoy first thing in the morning! I mean, mornings are for gently waking up and sort of sliding into the day, not having our tails rushed off 'Speed Weeing' along the Sea Wall!

The things we have to put up with!

Come on, don't hang about or you'll get left behind!

 It was such a nice morning as well, the sun was glinting off the waves and it looked all calm and pretty!

Such tranquillity on The River Medway!

 Well, we got back in time for OTL to de-poo the cages and get himself sorted out before his visitors arrived and while he was gassing Holly and I crashed out on the bed for a well earned snooze!

Our lunchtime walk was late as well, too much gassing!

While we were down on the beach, May and Eric were having a 'Pretend Fight' rolling about on the sand and giving each other  nips when May suddenly stopped and looked at the sky.

Wossatt Squeaking?

 We all looked around but couldn't see anything.

OTL was looking up in the sky as well and spotted a big bird floating on the thermals looking all big and dangerous!

Looks like a Buzzard out looking for some lunch!

 It was some pretty fast paw work for Miss May, she was off Eric's back and up in OTL's arms in a flash!

She reckoned it was the safest place to be in moments like that!

Quick! OTL next stop!

Eric said that it looked like a big chicken and if it came down he would sort it out, yeah, right, like do you want to see your first birthday at the end of this month Ferret Chops?

Well, it headed off and the ferrets carried on playing in the long grass.

OTL has purchased one of those Astronomical Telescopes that he has been looking at, not so big and super as the one he put an offer in on but this one has a load of filters and eye pieces and stuff and although it is not as big and powerful it will keep him happy when we get cloudless nights and he can try photographing the 'Nebula'.

Holly reckons that the Nebula are related to the Nargles and OTL has to be careful not to upset them 'cos he could end up being chased by Nebula Nargles!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Sharing a Sniff wiith a ferret!

Hi Woofers!

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

After yesterday and all that sunshine we were expecting some more today but when we looked out of the window what did we see?

Nuffin'!

 It was horrible, no sun, no sea, just loads of Nuffin'

Holly was a bit put out with the lack of sun to tan her chops and no matter just how hard she looked up and down the river, there was no sun!

OK, where has it all gone!

 To help pass the time until we headed back to the car, we all hunted around for the best sniff we could find.

Can I have a sniff when you've finished?

 Wendy was doing very well with the sniffs both on the beach and in amongst all the grass.

After you with the sniff Missy!

 Back home we had some fun woofing at the carriers when they delivered a big box of treats. These are the meaty chicken nibbles that we all love and better than that, it's 99% chicken!

Yum Yum!

After the cages had been cleaned Old Two Legs goes hunting to find the ferrets who have hidden in the darkest places they can find in the house.

Today it was Miss Wendy who had OTL hunting out her new hiding place.

The new hiding place for Wendy was behind the freezer in The Missus's store room!

When OTL found her she was cuddling up to the duster TM uses to get rid of the spiders webs in the 'Hard to Reach Places'!

OTL was busy this morning so we were a little late going out at lunchtime, which, wasn't too bad really 'cos it gave the fog a chance to go away and.....................

We saw Sheerness!

When we got back young Eric had a 'mad half hour' tearing around the place and then suddenly disappeared! In the end we found him in the same draw as we found Freddy yesterday!

You know, OTL picked him up and transferred him to his bed in the cage and he didn't wake up!

A ferret is an expert at sleeping you know!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Warm or Wot!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a warm day it's been, we have been running about all over the beach today and Holly actually had a paddle on the rock pool to cool her claws off!

The laptop has gone into 'over heat' mode and has shut down so I'm on the 'Big Computer' at the moment and OTL is trying to get the photo's to up load  onto this computer!

This morning it was a little over cast and we thought it was going to be cool but very soon the temperature started to climb!

Will it be warm or cool?

 Old Two Legs had his 'Wind Proof' jacket on but was soon complaining it was getting too hot!

I didn't care, there was a beach to roll on and I needed a good scratch!

Holly was getting in the mood as well!

 Young Freddy had a roll on the sand but soon headed off for the cool of the sea wall.

This is better!

 Wendy was soon tearing up the beach as well and of course it was she who was first into the grass!

I'm off for a roll in the damp grass!

Back home OTL had some urgent work to be done before he started shovelling poo. This allowed Freddy and Wendy some extra time to have a really good rampage around the house. Well after all the running about, it wasn't too long before both ferrets were heading for their favourite snoozy place. Miss Wendy gets into the back of the lounge suite and hides in the upholstery. It's a good job OTL knows all the hidy holes or we could end up loosing a ferret every so often!

Freddy de Ferret has his special snooze place in the middle drawer of the desk and OTL has cleared all the office stuff out and installed a blanket and a sleeping bag.

If you are going to wake me, do it Gently!

 Lunchtime it was very hot, like over twenty five degrees 'C'! May and Eric got rather warm and when we got back to the car both of them were almost swimming in the water bowl!

I managed to get a splosh in the muddy water as it came in on the tide.

Holly got wet paws.

Eric went swimming in the rock pools and got a soaking wet tummy!

May was rolling on the Sea Kale in the shadow of the Sea Wall.

OTL? Well, he forgot the memory card for the camera!

Wot a plonker!

The laptop has just fired up again, I'll switch it off tonight just in case it gets too hot again!

No news on the 'scope, we expect OTL's offer might have been rejected! Mind you, good manners would at least send an email telling him 'No', still some people don't know how to behave when some little 'Erk' like OTL tries to 'Do a Deal'!

OK, I'm off to see what is for dinner, see you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

In search of Little Green Men!

Hello Woofers!

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

Not the bright sun shinny day we were expecting but the rain managed to come down only when we were in the car!

We were up good and early this morning 'cos Old Two Legs had an appointment to look at some Astronomy Telescopes!

He says he is getting bored with insects and ferrets! Not he fancies a bash at photographing some planets or far off galaxies or even nebula!

Wot is a Nebula? Sounds like a load of old gas to me!

Down on the beach May was playing Chase de Freddy while Freddy was trying to stay awake!

Miss May doing and Indian Crawl creep up on Freddy

Unfortunately, Freddy spotted a couple of tugs coming into Sheerness Docks and called out, 'Look! a Mummy Tug and a Baby Tug!'

Mother and baby?

 It was then that Freddy spotted May creeping up on him and he legged it up the beach to the Sea Wall!

I must say that sometimes OTL can catch us in the most embarrassing positions, like, when I tripped up over my paws and went nose over tail!

Oooops!

 Or me trying to do a fast take off from the beach!

It's those 'Paws' again!

We went with OTL down to the Telescope shop and OTL thought he had identified the right 'scope for him but when he told the man what he wanted to do it seems OTL was wrong. Of course!

The correct set up would cost him a considerably more pocket money, so, back to square one!

The man showed OTL a second hand one that he was selling for one of his mates which would be just what OTL wanted, only problem was, it exceeded OTL's budget!

The 'scope had electric drives but there was no Power Supply Leads or Mains Leads and there was only one eye piece. OTL would need to invest a few more pound coins to get some eye pieces and filters and get it to to state where he could use it.

So, adding up the bits OTL made an offer for the 'scope that was making allowances for the missing bits.

So, claws crossed, we are hoping for a telephone call in a day or so time!

I think OTL has Bambi Burgers tonight, Yum Yum!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Super Sunny Sunday!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a change it has been today! It started off being a bit cloudy, then it started to rain and then after all that the sun came out and it had Old Two Legs wishing he hadn't put on his rain jacket!

It didn't stop Miss Wendy having a game with Freddy, she kept on running up behind him and nibbling his tail!

Oi! If you're hungry you should have eaten your breakfast!

 Mind you, it did stop Freddy from dawdling along the beach!

Wendy wandered off with Holly 'cos the rain had started and they both had decided that the best place to be is 'in the car'!

'Yes, I think the car is a good idea!'

 When we got up to the top path the rain stopped! Mind you, the rain had washed some of the sniffs away!

Well, that sniff was here yesterday!

 Back home, The Missus had gone off to her Master Class at the village hall and we settled down to cage cleaning. Well, OTL was cage cleaning while the ferrets rampaged all around the house!

Lunchtime we got down to the beach to find a load of fishermen setting up for a fishing contest. It was lucky for us that the tide was still far enough away to allow us to have a game on the beach without being bombarded with fishing weights!

Holly decided that Archie Babes story of rabbit hunting Nargles was a good excuse to go Nargle hunting on our beach. It was good to see her get her paws wet in the rock pools!

Mind you, the pools weren't very deep!

No, no Nargles under these rocks!

 Eric joined Holly in hunting under the sea weed and although there were some very small crabs scuttling around, the sight of a Nargle eluded us!

No Nargles here either!

Back home Holly and I had fun watching OTL doing some gardening, well, what he was doing was cutting down some bushes that were growing into our front garden from next door. It was getting so thick that there was almost no room to park the big car!

When he had finished and cleared up all the leaves and branches we settled down to watch some TV.

Just as we were getting settled, TM came in the front door and as soon as she had unloaded the car we settled down to watch the F1 racing. It was an exciting race and Hamilton won in the end!

OTL has been promised a Kebab tonight so Holly and I are getting ready ready to do some serious mugging!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Saturday Snoozing.

Hi Woofers!

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

We have been looking forward to today all week, well, I mean, Saturday is not for working is it?

Except if you are Old Two Legs, he still has his little 'Jobs' to do but by the amount of poo he has to shovel out of the ferret cages I wouldn't say his jobs were small!

Before he gets too involved in all that we get to go down the beach and it's always a race to get onto the beach first, just so we get the best sniffs before the ferrets try to muscle in and pinch them!

I'm first again!

 Holly is almost all of the time in second place 'cos she just can't run as fast as I can!

These steps get bigger every time I try to use them!

One good thing we found on the beach, my missing ball! There was a slight problem, as Holly pointed out, it's only half a ball!

Some rotten woofer has demolished my ball, it was chewed and battered and not good for playing with

It was 'ere and now it's gone and it's just been chewed upon, and it's sore!

 Well, that was it, no ball chasing today!

Holly didn't care, she was too busy catching up on her tan!

Oh! I just don't believe her sometimes, it was just an old ball for woofs sake!

 Lunchtime was better, the tide was in and Old Two Legs  managed to find some wood on the beach that we could have a game with.

We started off chasing it up and down the beach but soon it was floating in the water, so, I just had to rescue it didn't I?

Don't worry StickyWicky, Daisy's coming!

 OTL said that I carried the stick just like Churchill! As if!

We will chase it of the beaches, etc!

On our way back home we stopped off to see the ladies at the Master Class. OTL wouldn't allow Holly and me to go into the hall 'cos I was all wet and soggy and Holly had been rolling in something and she was a bit sniffy!

So, instead of us it was May and Eric that got all the strokes! Auntie Di was there and she gave Eric a tickle on his tummy!

We are now off to watch the practise on the F1 Racing on the TV, so bye bye for now and see you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Thunder & Lightening?

Hello Woofers!

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

Now, I don't know about where you live but down here we were promised torrential rain, floods, thunder and lightening!

Well, last night we had a brief shower! No flashes or bangs or rumbles!

Down on the beach we could see the clouds were a bit dark but not dark enough for a shower!

Not really a 'Storm Cloud'!

 Fred and Wendy were digging on the beach and having a wonderful time.

Why are you sniffing my butt? I'm not a woofer!

 Holly and I had a great time. We both discovered super sniffs each and of course we just couldn't resist a roll!

Holly doing a 'Nose Dive and Roll'!

 I found a particularly good sniff, it was all fishy and also sniffed of sea weed and I thought there was a hint of star fish!

Ooooh! This is sooooooo goooooood!

When we came back at lunchtime we weren't allowed to have another roll, mainly 'cos the tide had come in!

So, if I couldn't have a roll, I'll have a swim!

Well, not really a swim, more of a deep paddle up to my tummy!

May and Eric decided to stay away from the water and spent all the lunchtime on the beach, sniffing at the underside of the piles of sea weed!

Miss May just loves rolling around in the Sea Kale and young Eric is also getting a taste for Sea Kale.
 

I didn't see you creep up!

Eric just loves the Sea Kale but he also has a taste for the plants along the grass path!

Old Two Legs is getting in trouble as Eric and May run through the plants shaking the blooms and that lets all the pollen float up his nose and you know what's next?

AaaaaaaTishoooooooooooo!

Yep, it's that time again!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Me Balls Gone!

Yo Woofers!!

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

Wot a change in the weather! One moment it was sun shine and gentle breezes and today it's all wind and waves!

We reckon that Miss Wendy had the right idea, stay in bed!

Leave me alone, I'm sleeping!

 First thing this morning it was sort of misty and clouds that had a 'warning', like, bad weather is coming!

The Missus has been promising to slosh weed killer all over the weeds in front of the garage and on the front drive but because it threatens rain, she has put it off. Today it didn't rain but the weather people are talking about thunder and lightening in our area. Holly Chops won't like that!

So, where are the thunder clouds?

 Lunchtime the tide was in and was getting a helping hand from the wind to blow all those waves up the beach!

I thought about it but decided that a swim was maybe not the best idea today!

Erm, maybe not today!

 Instead, I went off looking for my ball but it was nowhere to be seen. I reckon another woofer had found it and taken it home!

Miss May did have a look under the sea weed, just in case it was hiding but had to give up 'cos the waves were getting perilously close!

Wot's that rushing sound I can hear?

 Holly Chops sat on top of the Sea Wall and told us all that we were potty getting too near the water and that there was no way she was even going dip her claw in the wet sand, never mind the water!

When I put my ears back like this it means NO!

 As we headed back along the beach the tide got to it's highest on the beach and even tried to climb up the steps to the Sea Wall!

Maybe Holly was right after all!

Those waves really look angry!

 This afternoon, OTL has been looking at Astronomy Telescopes on the InterNetty thing. He says he fancies trying some photography of Planets and Nebulae and Little Men from Mars!

We are going down to a place near us on Monday to have a look at load of telescopes. Who knows, he may decide to put an offer in for Jodrell Bank or maybe just the Lovell Telescope!

If he is any good he may even put some on here, if I let him!

Mind you, he can stand out in the dark on his own 'cos there is no way I'm freezing my tail off for a couple of passing Martians!

Bambi Burgers tonight!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Found my ball again!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, do you remember yesterday when I found that ball? After playing with it I left it under some grass so I could find it again.

Around here balls are like 'Meaty Chews', hard to come by!

This morning I was so pleased to find the ball was still there!

No woofer had pinched it and it hadn't rolled away.

That was it, I showed Old Two Legs where I had hidden it and he kicked it down the path until it went over the Sea Wall and onto the beach!

Ready for a game!

 OTL kicked it down the beach and I chased after it. Holly had a little chase as well be really she doesn't do balls and instead decided to stretch out on the beach to catch a few rays!

Jus' slap on the Factor 35!

 I rather fancied a dip in the sea but it looked a bit too rough to go swimming, so, instead I got OTL to do some more kicking!

Shall I? Shan't I? Shall I? Shan't I? Shall I? Shan't I? Shall I? Shan't I? Shall I? Shan't I?

 After a while I decided to hide it on the beach and see it it stays there over night. I hid it above the high tide mark so, as long as no one pinches it, it will still be there tomorrow!

OK, in front of the sea weed and just ahead of the lump of wood, that should be OK!

 I hope this warmer weather gets up to Archie Babe, we much prefer warm than cold! Mind you, putting the cover on the duvet can get you warmed up!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's Getting Warmer!

Hi Woofers,

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

Well, the weather is getting better! This morning it was still blowing cold from the North Sea but lunchtime it was warm enough for Old Two Legs to change his jacket from the 'Severe Weather' to the 'Wind Proof' one!

Morning Chilly!

 One good thing was that while Holly Chops and I were digging on the beach I dug up a ball! I mean, I thought that I was the only woofer who buried balls!

Look wot I got Holly Chops!

 Fred and Wendy had a good game on the way back, Freddy tried to get a lift by pretending his tail had broken and Wendy almost fell for it!

No! No, don't move me, it hurts too much!

 It almost worked, right up to the time when OTL says 'Wanna Lift Freddy?' where upon Freddy jumps up and runs towards OTL!

Gottcha!

Lunchtime was much better, the wind had dropped right down to almost nothing and the sun came out to warm us up!

It's getting better now!

 May and Eric had a great time on the beach digging holes and chasing Holly. Then they were in and out of all the plant life on the top path. Now the Spring has come they just love diving in and out of the undergrowth. Of course, there are all the sniffs to sniff and holes to investigate!

Hey! Get a load of this sniff!

 Wot is more fun it to run through the path that the ferrets and OTL have flattened over the past two months! It's just like running through the jungle and it so much fun!

Watch out for the Nargles!

Back home Miss May found a new place for a snooze, the inside of OTL's chair! It took about half an hour before she was found, fast asleep and dreaming of digging holes on the beach!

OTL has been promised Steak and Chips tonight, so Holly and I are getting ready to do some serious mugging tonight!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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