A Hunting Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot sort of day have you had?

Our day started off too early for me and we landed on the beach while the sky was still dark!

Gloomy or Wot?

We were all glad to get back home and start a game that we play every so often.

It's like this.

Holly and get to have a snooze on the bed while Old Two Legs  cleans out the ferret cages. The ferrets get a free run of the house so they can charge about having wot they call 'Ferret Fun'. Roughly translated, that means, let's get in every cupboard and hidy hole possible to nick anything that takes their fancy and if they can eat it, so much the better!

So, it starts off with Eric and May charging down the stairs and heading for the kitchen!

Now, Holly and I have got boxes of teeth cleaning chews and Bonio biscuits and nibbly mixer bits neatly stacked on the shelves of the butchers block thingy The Missus keeps in the kitchen.

The ferrets don't climb up the legs, they jump straight onto the shelf and into the boxes! That is, they grab everything they can before TM or OTL grabs the boxes and puts them out of reach.

By then the little thieves were legging it up stairs to find places to store their ill gotten gains!

After the cages were all done and the ferrets tucked up, Holly and I were let out of the bedroom.

The hunt begins!

Holly and I use our noses to locate the area where the goodies are hidden but the ferrets hide the nibbles in places where we can't get to without help. OTL gets a big woof and we jump up and give his chair a good shove!

That gets his attention!

Off we go and indicate the area where it's hidden and OTL starts moving boxes and chairs and other stuff so that Holly or I can get in and snaffle the treat!

It's a good game and Holly and I even pick up the ferret food they hide as well!

Talking of food, I think OTL has got salad and some sort of meat tonight!

Let's hope he doesn't hide it before we get there!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

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

It's been a Ferrety Sort of Day.

Yo! Woofers!

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

It's been a day of ferrets today, it started this morning.
both ferrets were chasing Holly and I and trying to nip our back legs! Old Two Legs had to keep warning us when the ferrets got close to us so we could run a bit further ahead and carry on sniffing!

Mind you, we got our own back when we got home.

Now, you see the ferrets just love to pinch our stuff. You know, biscuits, chews, squeaky balls, bits of rawhide chews, Bonio Biscuits. Well, after they had their run about the house, OTL did the cage cleaning and played a game of chase with them, they finally went off for a snooze and Holly and I were let out of the bedroom where we had been snoozing.

The Missus had gone off to get her new glasses and OTL was left in charge.

Holly did it first, she jumps up and gives OTL's chair a good shove.

Then she leads OTL out into TM's Craft Room which is just a big store room for all her bits and bobs.

Holly indicates a spot where she is most interested in, and, after a bit of shoving and pushing boxes about, OTL finds a Teeth Cleaning Chew, brand new, that one of those ferrets had hidden!

Well, that was it, Holly chops had a treat!

Now it was my turn and I headed off into the store room and started to sniff.

Yep! I could sniff it but couldn't get to it.

OTL! I need your help!

This time he had to move a step ladder and a folding chair and folding trolley thing and under a pile of basket drawers there were three balls, a rubber bone and............A Bonio Biscuit!

A good mornings work!

Lunchtime OTL cut the ferrets claws and put their anti flea stuff on their backs. Trouble is, that stuff itches like mad until it dries, so Miss Wendy jumped onto Freddy's back and gave him a good scratch!

Yes! Yes! Now just over to the left!

 Freddy found a half started hole in the football field and started to enlarge it so he can hide in it and jump out and surprise us woofers!

Now this looks like a really good hole!

 He was digging like crazy and having a great time, until OTL told him to fill it back in and stop messing about with football field!

Come on, let's dig it a few more feet!

 Back home it was fun watching the ferrets telling OTL they wanted a slurp of Ferretone, Eric has worked out that a lick on the arm and then point his nose at the bottle normally works!

I just LOVE Ferretone!

 Of course, you can always tell him a funny ferret joke and get his attention that way!

.......and then he blew a raspberry on his tail!

Trouble is, ferret jokes are a little hard to get sometimes!

I think OTL has got venison tonight so we should be in for a nibble or two!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Sniffin Nargles!

Hello Woofers!

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

Now, we have been doing some thinking and have decided that it's not Eric's birthday at the end of October. You see he was about three months old when Old Two Legs collected him from the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and Eric will have been with us a whole year at the end of October, so his birthday was set for the first of June and I seem to remember we had a fun day celebrating his birthday!

So, now that is all sorted out, he can only look forward to getting stabbed!

Mind you, there is always the chance of sinking your fangs into the vet when he gets close with the needle!

You can tell Autumn is getting close, the mornings are dark when OTL gets up at six. Even the ferrets are still asleep and down on the beach it's a race to get down there before the sun gets up!

Soon we will be getting all colourful in the mornings!

Mind you, Eric says that getting up at the same time as OTL is OK cos he gets a cuddle and a slurp of Ferretone while all the others are still asleep, but, that also means he is first on the beach and that is something he could do without!

I'd rather have a nice warm cuddle!

Lunchtime was fun. We were on the beach sniffin' the sniffs when we spotted Max and Oscar walking along the Sea Wall and Holly suggested we creep along the bottom of the Sea Wall and when we got level with them, we'd both jump up and give them a good woofing and scare the tail off them both!

' It was Freddy that put a stop to that game 'cos he said that he could sniff Nargles on the wind!

Hey! I can sniff a Nargle and it's coming this way!

That was it, Holly and I got up on the Sea Wall and were doing our best 'Sniff Detect' and you know wot? We could detect the sniff that Freddy was talking about!

Ssssssh! Nargle coming this way!

Our big problem was that OTL couldn't sniff the Nargle 'cos his nose is not exactly as sensitive as ours and he seemed to be more worried about the ferrets keeping up as he headed straight towards the Nargle!

Well, as you would guess, the Nargle got a sniff of OTL and was off like a dragon with his pants on fire and we never got to see it!

We are off now to see what is for dinner, hopefully it is something we can mug off OTL!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

OTL is in TM's good books.........the Creep!

Hi Woofers!

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

We got an SMS from the vet, they want to see Eric de Ferret and stab him with a needle and charge Old Two Legs a fortune for the pleasure!

What they don't realise is that ferrets get stabbed every two years!

Still, it reminds us that Eric will have been with us for a whole year come the end of October.

So, that's a whole month to make up a Happy Birthday Song!

When we went down to the beach it was raining a tiny bit but not enough to worry us woofers!

A sort of misty rain!

 One good thing was that there was a bit of a breeze blowing, that got rid of that yucky stuff we had seen the last two days!

These it is.........Gone!

Mind you, I still didn't fancy going in for a swim!

Miss May and I were hunting Weasel Sniffs today, it was good fun and we found two tracks!

You have to watch out for Weasel Poo as well!

 Lunchtime we were out again with Fred and Wendy.

When we got to the beach and OTL put the ferrets on the sand, a bunch of Two Legs stopped and were all going 'Ooooooh! I see two ferrets'!

You would have thought that they would have come down onto the beach for a stroke, but no, they stood there on the Sea Wall, looking at us with their binoculars!

'Oooh, they look so big through my binoculars!

They didn't hang about too long 'cos Freddy turned around, waved his tail at them and did a big poo!

That got rid of them!

So Rude!

Not that Freddy worried, as he says, 'When you gotta go, you gotta go!

Back home the new dishwasher arrived and OTL installed all the pipes and cables and plugs and all that and then we put some plates and stuff in and ran the 'Pre-Wash' just to check for leaks. All dry and working well!

OTL was given a cup of tea when he finished! A sure sign TM was happy with the washer.

Now we are all rushing around collecting grubby plates and drinking bowls and dinner bowls and tea spoons and plates, all trying to fill the machine up for a 'Real Wash'!

OTL is still on the salad stuff, we don't do green food, unless it's a bit of grass when we get a dicky tummy!

Lucky for us, OTL will be getting a bit of steak tonight.

Guess who is going to help him finish it off!

Next Saturday OTL is off to the local Agricultural College for a day of being told how to clip woofers properly.

Just to be on the safe side, I have agreed that Holly goes with OTL to be the woofer wot gets bathed, clipped and stuff!

I'm not daft!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Saturday and we have almost caught up!

Hi Woofers!

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

Saturday is with us and Old Two Legs is getting close to being up to date with all his stuff!

He always says that a two week holiday takes three weeks to sort out when you get back!

At least the paperwork is all done and now it is just the 'engineering' to do!

We got down to the beach this morning in time to see the mucky stuff sort of floating on the water, what we need is a good storm to beat it all up and wash it away down stream!

All this mucky stuff stops me having a swim!

 May and Eric had fun digging on the beach but even they said they wouldn't go in for a swim!

OTL has got a new dishwasher arriving on Sunday, so, this morning he disconnected the old one and put it outside on the drive so the delivery people can take it away!

He had to pay for that but it would be disposed of properly and also he has got them to take away the packing as well!

There is one small problem, the delivery times start at seven in the morning!

Never mind, we will be there to make sure everything is done properly or they will get a good woofing!

Lunchtime Freddy and Wendy came out with us. Wendy just loves a good run on the beach and digging holes and hunting for mouses as well!

Freddy, on the other paw, much prefers a carry down to the beach, a quick roll, then he gets OTL to pick him up and gets 'carries' all the way back to the football field where he gets down and has a run across the football field!

On the way back we spotted a snail half way up the bush with the red leaves. Holly asked the snail why he was so far up the bush and hanging onto the leaf?

'Well' says the snail, ' I've heard that we got the back end of the bad weather from the U.S.A. and I'm making sure I'm above the water and on something that floats if the water gets any higher'!

Holly pointed out that the snail was in fact so twenty metres above sea level and if the water should get up to him, half of the South East will be floating away on the tide!

.....I don't care, I'm staying warm and dry!

We left him to it and headed home!

Holly was singing a song........I am Snailing, I am Snailing, Home again, across the sea!

She can be a right wag at times!

We are off now to investigate what is for dinner and whether or not we can get a nibble!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

This slimming is a real drag!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's been a sort of 'Middling' day today, nothing over exciting but 'Busy'!

Old Two Legs has been 'Manufacturing' so that has kept him out of our way! The problem we are having is that when he gets a cup of tea, there are no Chocolate Chip Cookies for Holly and I to snaffle!

I mean, that is one of life's little pleasures!

It's the same at lunchtime, like, what sort of woofer will eat a salad sandwich, made with brown bread, Yuk!

Talking of Yuk! This morning we got onto the beach to find a horrid sniffy load of stuff that had come down stream over the last tide!

Holly and I took one sniff and headed back up the beach!

I don't care wot it is, I'm staying well away!

 You know, even the ferrets said they were staying well up the beach and well away from the mucky stuff!

I wish the wind would change and blow it out to sea!

 We spotted Boo and Polly playing games on the Sea Wall. The game was, Let the Two Legs get ahead, then walk the other way!

Polly is very good at that and Boo is getting good as well!

Yo! OTL, what's that sniff?

 Miss Polly, as normal, was more interested in the ferrets and whether they tasted like chicken or not!

I would love a bit off the flank of the big one!

Eric said that if she cam onto the beach he would sort her out!

I almost think that he would 'cos he is always trying to give Holly and I a 'Nip' if we hang about too long!

Lunchtime there were a couple of woofers who had been in for a paddle in the yucky stuff and sniffed terrible!

They were put on their leads to stop them from getting too yucky!

That'll teach them!

But we only wanted a little paddle!

 Miss Wendy and Freddy enjoyed a dig in the sand and a run along the Sea Wall but as normal, Freddy said he had a thorn in his paw and needed a cuddle!

I can feel a Sore Paw coming on!

Back home we were given a half a carrot each. I offered mine to OTL 'cos that is all he is allowed during the day time!

He wasn't amused!

The Missus is out at the village hall for some more glue slapping, so, that means we could be in luck and raid the kitchen cupboards for some Cookies!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

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

A Day for Having a Roll!

Hi Woofers!

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

Now, you know wot today is?

Yes! It's Archie Babes Mums Birthday and she is all of Dumpty Dump Years old!

So, if you are all sitting in a line, tails straight, one paw raised.

After three, ........One, ........Ninety Nine........Three!

Happy Birthday to Yooooooo!
Have a roll in some Poooooo!
Now share your cake with your mates!
Happy Birthday to Yooooooooooooooooo!

Yeah! Woofing Good Day! Kebab and Chips Tonight?

We have had a good day, well, loads of sniffs for all the woofers!

We landed on the beach a little earlier than normal and the gulls were still paddling in the rock pools.

Never mind the woofers, find me a worm!

First Miss May found a sniff on the beach and had a really good roll in it!

This is just right for a little ferret like me!

 After she had finished I went to see what it was.

I found a crabs arm and claw buried in the sand and as I was about to try it out, Old Two Legs told me to leave it alone!

Spoil Sport!

Through the morning the sun started to shine through the clouds and by the time we went out for our midday walk it was all bright and beautiful!

Sunshine at Last!

 Holly made the most of the sunshine and found the rest of the cram and gave it a good rolling!

Ooooh! That feels sooooo gooood!

 On our way off the beach OTL spotted this very small spider sitting on the hand rail. He said his name was Cedric De Spyder and he has taken over possession of the hand rail!

We asked what would happen if a Two Legs tried to use the handrail?

I'll bite their paw off and beat them with the soggy end!

That's one very brave spider!

We are now off to see what is for dinner, OTL's not ours!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Wednesday already and we still haven't caught up with the sniffs!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a misty old day it's been today!

We got out good and early 'cos Old Two Legs had a load of work planned for today and he decided to get the ferret cages cleaned good and early. Not that the ferrets allowed that, as soon as they got out they proceeded to play ferret games like, 'Nibble the Toes' or 'Giss More Ferretone' which all involves OTL stopping the cleaning and paying attention to what they want!

Down on the beach it was very misty first thing, nothing interesting to see and no ships going past either!

I see no ships!

Mind you, we couldn't even see Sheerness either!

Wot we did see were the colours of the bushes by the side of the path, even in the misty light they still looked very autumnal!

Yep!  Autumn is a coming!

We didn't get any improvement in the mist when we went out at lunchtime, Sheerness poked its nose out from the mist but didn't stay long!

There! Look! It's Sheerness waving back!

 OTL decided to leave the misty bits alone and look for any bright colours he could find. He spent some time chasing a butterfly around but it wouldn't settle long enough for him to take a photo, so, he had to settle for the wild 'Sweet Pea' sort of plant by the side of the path.

Mind you, it wasn't easy 'cos there was a breeze blowing and that was making the blossom move about something terrible!

Just stop for a second or two!

 We got to the beach and although the tide was out, Holly and I had some fun rolling in the sniffs on the beach.

Most of the sniffs were of dead crab or whiffy limpet!

I just Looooove a Gooood Roll!

 Holly decided to tart about on the beach and kept of running up to OTL saying ' Take my Picture, Take my Picture'!

.....................................and this is my 'smiley face' so, Take my Picture?

Back home OTL got a few orders all packed and ready to go to the carriers, so that was another job jobbed!

Tomorrow he is expecting to see a delivery of some more stuff that he will need to work on before sending them off to the carrier!

It's all go it is!

Now, all this diet stuff is getting very boring. Every time OTL gets lunch it ends up being ham sandwich with a mountain of salad, not the most appetising lunch a woofer could have, I mean, have you tasted those onions? Do you know what a plate full of radishes will do to your backside?

Enuff of these things, we are wondering what is for dinner tonight, something fattening if we are lucky!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Busy catching up on the sniffs and other important things!

Hi Woofers!

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

Today has been fun, we have been out down the beach and catching up on the sniffs and picking out the new woofer 'Markers' all along the paths!

The ferrets say they have picked up a sniff trail from a family of Weasels who have moved into the area!

Old Two Legs has been catching up on his work and trying to get 'In Tune' with his new computer and the accountancy package, which is still confusing him!

I said he should let Eric have a go at setting it up but OTL says that Eric would make a bigger mess than anyone we knew!

Freddy enjoyed the lunchtime walk. Well, he didn't walk really, most of the time was spent cuddled up in OTL's arms just watching the world go by!

Mind you, he did get down onto the beach and got going on his favourite pastime.

Sunbathing!

Miss Wendy said he was just being a lazy ferret and said she was off to do some digging in the sand!

No, I've got better things to do!

 Not that it bothered Freddy, he just lay there, on his back and getting a sun tan on his paws!

There's nothing like warm paws!

 After his paws warmed up enough he got OTL to carry him back to the football pitch where he waddled across the field, getting OTL to pick him up just before he got to the car!

Back home Freddy fell asleep as soon as he got into his cage and he has only woken up once for a drink!

We never got a kebab last night, the shop was shut on Monday! I don't think that we will get one tonight either 'cos today OTL has been fed rabbit food for breakfast followed by brown bread and salad sandwich at lunchtime and now we can't sniff any cooking, so that more than likely means..........cheese salad tonight.

YUK!

I can see it will affect us woofers 'cos I mean with no nibbles we will just fade away!

Mind you, I like the idea that a kebab is really a healthy meal 'cos it has salad with it!

Something tells me that The Missus wouldn't agree with that!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

We're back!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret have all arrived back home, safe and sound!

We got woken up by The Missus at six thirty this morning! She was marching up and down the caravan, opening and closing doors putting stuff in the 'Traveling' place in the caravan so whatever it is doesn't get thrown about and damage the woodwork!

We didn't bother with breakfast, except the ferrets who said they would fade away if they didn't have food on a regular basis!

Holly and I are like that, but it must be the food that Old Two Legs or TM has 'cos that always tastes better than our Scoff!

Hey! Seems like I have made another whoopsy, I can't get my Missies, Mollies and Millies all mixed up!

I blame it on TM, she has a way of getting us all confused and mixed up!

So, we will settle on Miss Mollie unless we get told otherwise!

We have been out down the beach this afternoon to check out the sniffs and there are loads of new ones we came across!

OTL wouldn't let me go in swimming and to be honest, looking at the size of the waves I don't think I would have enjoyed it!

The caravan has now been unloaded and most of the stuff is put away, OTL is looking at the loads of emails that have come in, sorting out the rubbish from the orders!

TM says we are going to have a kebab tonight 'cos she and OTL are going on a diet!

It is going to be a 'Salad' sort of diet and the kebab is the 'Last Goodbye' to tasty food and onto 'Green Food' with no chips!

OTL weighs in a ninety two kilogrammes which is just over his BMI (Body Mass Index) and if he can lose a bit from around his tummy, he'll be a happy puppy!

TM is keeping quiet about her weight, so we expect her to tell fibs about how much she has lost!

OK, must go, the kebab shop has opened!

Luv,

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