Wendy gets Stabbed, OTL Cries and we get The Worming Pills!

Hi Woofers!

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

Didn't it rain last night! I mean, Old Two Legs was snoring his tail off but the rain woke up everyone else in the house, even the ferrets!

Of course by the time morning arrived it was still raining and we had to wait until OTL found a window where he said we could get out and back without getting wet!

Holly sort of disagreed! Especially when she arrived at the puddles!

I Don't Do WET!!!!

We were having a run on the beach and met up with Polly. Now Polly is a bit of a fashion freak and the rain coat she had on did absolutely nothing for her, I mean, it wasn't even her colour!

Please don't laugh, I'm only wearing it to humour them!

Poor Polly, with a bit of luck she will find some seriously sniffy fox poo to roll in on the way home and the coat will have to be washed!

We met up with Bert, he's the one who fancies Holly Chops but she keeps playing The Tart and teasing him rotten!

Today she almost let him get close enough for a butt sniff but ran off at the last moment!

Poor Bert, he's in love with Holly but she keeps playing him along!

Lunchtime was all a bit of a mix up 'cos we got up late and that put everything behind, so it was off to the vet first before heading off to the beach. There was another vet on duty, not the new one! OTL introduced her to Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret and you know what? She took her phone out and photographed Wendy and Freddy! I mean, well, we are quite used to having their photo's taken on the sea wall but in the vets?

Wendy got a cuddle, a slurp of Ferretone and a stabbing against Distemper, so she is done for another two years!

Freddy was done a short time ago so all he got was a cuddle!

OTL also picked up a couple of dustbin lids called 'Worming Tablets' and he has the job of getting them down our throats tonight! Ha! Just let him try!

As we left the vets, as normal, OTL was whimpering and looking at he depleted wallet!

He makes such a fuss, just imagine what it would be like if he had to eat the tablets as well!

Down on the beach it was very windy, in fact so windy that OTL left his hat in the car rather than risk having it blown into the sea!

Well, all the sea weed has gone!

Freddy and Wendy enjoyed a run across the football field and jumped into their travelling cage as soon as the door was opened. Back home they went straight into the cuddle cup that was located in the very top of their cage and fell asleep cuddling each other, and both were snoring their tails off in no time!

I'll let you know how we get on with the worming tablet!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

A Sad News Day.

Hello Woofers!

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

We were up a little late today so we didn't catch the sunrise but we did catch the sun poking it's nose from behind the clouds.

We can Seeee Yoooo!

 It was OK but to get to the beach we had to get across some puddles that arrived last night when the rain came down!

Old Two Legs slept all the way through the rain and wind and he didn't wake up until late!

Holly ended up getting her paws wet!

 Down on the beach there was a load of sea weed washed up on the rocks, Holly reckons it was the high winds and rain that washed it all down river!

Tomorrow it will all be gone!

Lunchtime we heard some sad news from Harrietsham Ferret Rescue, our little star ferret, Rufus, who came into the rescue centre with some serious problems and benefited from the kind support from the Allhallows Croppers and his medical bills were paid from the 'Cardathon' event and the donation from the weekends fun and games.

He enjoyed two years with the rescue centre and got to live with several lady ferrets!

On Christmas Day he had his dinner and went to sleep but unfortunately he didn't wake up on Boxing Day. We think it was old age that got him in the end but because of the care and attention he received at the rescue centre his life was extended another two years, all because of the Allhallows Croppers.

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's a Damp Doggy Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

My, how time just flies by, you know, it's already the second of January and we have hardly noticed it!

Mind you, this morning it wasn't raining, for a change, down on the sea front this morning there were loads of woofers and poor Old Two Legs missed a wonderful sunrise but when we got down to the beach it had all gone!

It seemed that every two steps there was another Two Legs wanting to say Happy New Year and talk about the ferrets, leaving Holly and I to sit on the wet grass and wait for them to finish gassing on about Christmas and the weather!

So, no photo's this morning!

Eric and May decided that staying wrapped up and warm in OTL's arms was the best place to be, except wrapped up in a warm bed back at home that is! Mind you, they did run back from the bench on the hill all the way to the car!

Lunchtime it was raining, so we hung about for a while until we spotted a window in the showers where we reckon we could get down to the beach, have a wee and get back to the car before it started to rain again!

It didn't quite work out that way and it started to rain again half way through the walk so OTL let Freddy and Wendy climb up for a cuddle on our way back to the car.

We were going to get the camera out but in the end decided that it was (a) Too Wet and (b) there was nothing interesting to photograph!

When we got to the football field both Freddy and Wendy got down and trotted across the field. Freddy was saying his tummy was getting too wet 'cos it was rubbing on the grass and Holly suggested he either loose some weight as a New Year Resolution or learn to run on his claws instead of his paws!

Freddy said that he might just jump on Holly's back,  hang onto her harness and ride her all the way back to the car!

We got back to the car just before the rain started to come down with a vengeance!

Back home we found Auntie Jane and Uncle Ian had arrived with a Christmas Present for OTL, a bottle of Glenmorangie Single Malt!

OTL was a happy woofer!

He might open that tonight and see if it goes well with the Shortbread, it seems anything that has Malt and Whisky in the description goes well with Shortbread!

Se you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Happy New Year Woofers!

Hi Woofers!

It's the first post of 2018 from Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret!

Well, I don't know how you lot felt this morning but we were all sleepy heads! Old Two Legs and The Missus shared a bottle of Bollinger and TM fell asleep half way through the evening but woke up again to wrestle the bottle from OTL's hands so she could have another glass of bubbly!

The ferrets were awake during the night and were singing ferret songs which none of us really understand!

Holly and I pigged out on the nibbles while we all watched the television!

A good end to 2017!

Down on the beach OTL got some good pictures of the sunrise and clouds.

Morning 2018

Both Eric and May spent most of the time trying to climb up OTL's trouser leg so they can get into the ferret bag.

OTL was mean, he made them both walk back to the car through the long grass that was still wet from the last rain shower!

Back home it seemed that the rest of the day was spent looking at the rain filling up the pond!

The lunchtime walk was delayed until just after three when OTL spotted a 'window' in the rain and we got a thirty minute run on the sea front again.

This time we left the ferrets at home 'cos they don't really do wet grass and deep puddles!

So now we are back home, paws up having a snooze!

See you again tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Don't forget it's 2018!

29 and 3/4 Shades of Grey!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it's the end of the year today and we are all getting ready for next year. We have sent Old Two Legs several SMS' and at least a dozen emails reminding him to change the date to 2018!

Not that he will listen, he'll be OK until February then he will forget and slip back to 2017!

This morning it was raining when we went out for a walk and the ferrets managed to stay under the blanket and go back to sleep while Holly and I headed off to the beach.

When we arrived it was still raining and OTL decided to leave the camera in the car 'cos it's not waterproof!

When we got around the corner the rain suddenly stopped! That was it, off we went sniffing and woofing and enjoying a run down to the beach.

There was no sun but the sky was full of grey clouds, in fact we haven't seen so many shades of grey in the sky!

Back home it was a relaxing morning with The Missus getting good results on some newly designed cards she has been making for display at a show in the U.S.A.

She has shown them on Fachache and she says that 'it's gone potty!'

We reckon the Master Classes will be fully booked for the next six months!

Lunchtime came around and as it wasn't raining OTL reckons that it was time the ferrets got some fresh air. Freddy and Wendy said they would rather stay under the blanket but before they could run away they were transferred to the travelling cage!

Off we went and the rain held off all the time we were down on the beach. Miss Wendy enjoyed a scamper but Freddy was chasing OTL calling out for a lift!

It was still cloudy and Holly reckons she could count twenty five shades. Freddy sat down and gazed skyward and announced that there were in fact twenty nine and three quarters shades!

The bit that was three quarters was where two clouds had merged and created three quarters of a cloud while the last quarter was almost black!

Tonight, Holly and I have got bets on whether OTL and TM will stay up to see the New Year in or retire to bed when the bottle of Bollinger runs out!

Happy New Year to you all!

Luv,

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

OTL is heading for some Trouble!

Hi Woofers!

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

This morning Holly and I dived out into the garden expecting a quick wee and back again (because of the cold!) but surprisingly it was almost warm!

I mean, it's almost the last day of the year and well into Winter when it should be all Jack Frost and six feet of snow and instead it's almost balmy weather!

Any warmer and it will be out with the sun block!

Down on the beach, Miss May decided to play 'Chicken' with the waves and ended up getting her paws wet!

Of course, that got her running back to Old Two Legs arms for a cuddle and somewhere to wipe the water from her paws!

Yorrocks! That water is colder than it looks!

That was it, we headed off back to a bowl of Doggy Scoff! You know sometimes we think someone hates us!

OTL was busy playing on the computer making 'Files' for the VAT man!

Lunchtime we were late getting out 'cos we fell asleep on the bed cuddling a Bonio each!

Freddy and Wendy were fast asleep and OTL decided that they would be better off staying in bed snoring their tails off, so Holly and I got to have a much faster run than normal.

We both had a roll in something smelly on the beach and then we walked the long way back along the Sea Wall and up the hill.

As it was getting late the sun was close to disappearing over the horizon.

This could turn into a Night Time Walk!

 When we got home OTL was back onto the computer again and kept muttering to himself. You see, he is getting old now, even in Two Leg years he is still considered to be 'Getting On' and quite often Boy Scouts offer to help him across the road!

Well, he has bee arranging stuff to be paid just after the New Year and of course he has had to put in the date when this stuff has to be paid and it is all in January 2018, now, being OLD and FORGETFUL and an OLD DUFFER, OTL has only just got used to 2017 and now having to change it to 2018 is going to cause him some trouble!

While he was on the computer he said that the sunset could be all over in three minutes!???

WOT?

He sat us on his lap and got into the International Space Station Live Feed which shows live pictures from on board of the ISS and the world turning around and the space station going at gawd knows wot speed means the sunrise and sunsets are over in no time!

Just have a look here  Live ISS Video

Remember there are loads of sunsets and sunrises in on day up there!

Holly says that she always fancied being an astronaut but her Dicky Tummy was always against her!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Still no Snow but it's Wet!

Hi Woofers!

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

Last night I got up to have a drink, around three in the morning and on my way back to bed I stuck my nose under the curtains to see what life was like outside.

It was frosty, all the cars were covered and at first I thought it may have been snow but no, it was frost!

When we got up at seven we headed fro the back door, intending to go for a quick wee, we dived through the kitchen door expecting frost and ice but instead it was raining!

That was it, a quick turnaround and back indoors, weeing can wait until later!

It was still raining when we went out down to the beach. We had our rain coats on but we still got soaked and even Old Two Legs came back with soaking wet trousers!

Being the last working day of the year, OTL has been busy with the VAT returns and stuff like that, boring really but it's one of those jobs that just has to be done or he ends up in trouble!

Lunchtime it was quite dry and just a little windy.

Windy, cloudy and getting colder!

 There were a few woofers out for a walk including a Bozo Woofer who is a Guide Dog to his blind Two Legs.

When he has his harness on he has been trained not to do all the doggy stuff, like butt sniffing and investigating sniffs in the long grass!

Today he was off his harness and just had his collar on. Well, when he saw us he was all dancing about, chasing after us, butt sniffing and dancing around OTL!

We saw Barny II and a couple of the Basset Hounds and a Sheep Dog who was going just a little potty, like he hadn't been let off the lead for a year!

We didn't hang about and were soon back home where we had a game with our new squeaky toys we got for Christmas and we tormented Eric with some Dangly Toys Archie Babe sent down to us!

Eric tends to play a bit rough so we are not expecting them to last long!

Now, what's all this about Mr Nipper getting a new mate? Has Archie Babe got competition?

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

No Snow Here but it's Freezing!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, yesterday it was cold and windy, not very nice, but today, sunshine and frost as cold, but no wind!

Not as cold as it looks!

We were a little late in getting out but the sun had only just got up but the frost was all over the place.



The ferrets had decided to pass on today's walk so Holly and I could get a gallop on!

Speed sniffing in the frosty grass!

The beach was all frosty and cold, even the seaweed was frosty!

Frosty seaweed and crispy sand!

Back home the ferrets were out rampaging around the house until they fell asleep and it was Old Two Legs job to winkle them out of the inside of the sofa and put them back to bed!



Lunchtime the frost had mostly gone but it was still cold and the sky was still blue. This sort of weather makes it all clean and crisp, that is until the clouds come back and we get rain or snow!

Just look at that blue sky!

We have watched the news and it seems there is snow all over the place! Down here in North Kent we saw some snow flakes late yesterday but nothing since.

Holly said that she wanted some snow just to see what the ferrets made of it, we reckon they would have a great time diving in and out of snow drifts!

Trouble is, down here there is no snow forecast in the near future, so it's back to the frosty grass again!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

T'was The Day After Christmas.........!

Ho, Ho, Ho, Woofers!

Us, back again!

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

Well, I hope you all had a good Christmas like wot we have had!

We got up to Martin & Lisa's house on Christmas Eve and re-investigated the park around the corner from their house. There were loads of sniffs from the local woofers. So, Holly and I added our sniff, just to let them know we are about!

Christmas day was great, except for Old Two Legs who had managed to fall down the last step of the stairs! He's got a bruised knee and leg plus some very tender ribs!

Holly worked out what the cause of him falling over.

It wasn't the booze 'cos he hadn't had any, it was the number of steps! You see he quite often walks down our stairs at home, not looking at where he puts his feet, but, there are thirteen steps on our stairs and his brain knows that without thinking, having gone up and down so many years, but, in Martins house there are fourteen steps, so when he thinks he has reached the bottom, there is still one step to go and OTL took the last step, missed his footing and crashed to the floor!

He is still all sore and hurting but a couple of pain killers every so often and a good slurp of the Single Malt plus the Shortbread Archie Babe send down will sort him out!

We got loads of presents, chews from Izzy and The Gang and Treats and Chews from Archie and there were some socks for OTL as well! There was a Naughty Woofer Calender that The Missus has pinched for her office, it has naughty woofers getting into all sorts of trouble! The presents we loved were the squeaky ones, just as someone passed us by we would hit the squeaky and make them think they had trodden on one of the Four Paws in the house!

Have you ever seen a Two Legs jump? Dead funny!

You know we had four ferrets and three dogs! There was Cookie who is a King Charles Whatsit who gets all upset when she thinks that you are pinching her grub, which Holly and I did!

Yesterday we got home rather late so we didn't get to do the blog, so, sorry about that!

Down the beach today it was freezing, I mean, like wot with the cold and the wind it was well below freezing and OTL was complaining about frozen eyeballs as well!

Wot a wimp!

Mind you, Holly was singing a carol called 'In the Bleak Cold Winter'!

Bleak with threats of snow!

 Eric and May came out with us, OTL carried them for a short way until they both wriggled down and into the Ferret Bag, May came up for a breath of air, decided it was still too cold and went back!

Eric didn't get out until he was back in the car and the heater was turned on fully!

Any more of that and I'll have icicles up my nose!

 Of course lunch time it was just Holly and I and I must say, it was a quick walk!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Merry Christmas Woofers!

Ho, Ho, Ho, Woofers!

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

Well, as you read this we are in fact off to visit No1 Son and family to wish them a Merry Christmas!

That being so, OTL won't be bringing his laptop with us so we won't be doing any blogs until Boxing Day.

So, from all of us this end of the world to all you lovely Woofers your end of the world we like to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas Woofers!

Luv,

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