A Really Lazy Saturday!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, once again we were up just too early, I mean, like there is nothing but dark out there! I'll be glad when the sun decides to get up a bit earlier and we can see where we are going!

There we were walking down on the beach when from up the hill behind us a couple of woofers started making a noise behind us, well, around we turned and gave them a good rendition of 'Woof Off'!

Never did see them but they stopped woofing!

Sorted them out!

 After a little while we headed off up the hill but Old Two Legs was still 'Waiting for the Light', well, he can wait, we were waiting for our breakfast!

A bit of colour but it's not going to set the world alight!

Come lunchtime we had May and Eric with us and of course there were visitors down on the sea front all wanting to stop and go Ooooo and Aaaaah!

Those ferrets get all the attention!

Miss May had her claws trimmed, so she was digging in the sand to 'Round them off'!

That's better!

There were a couple of Wormy Men out on the mud flats digging but we don't think they were 'Rounding Off' their boots!

My Boot's stuck!

This afternoon we have been catching up on the Britannia series on the TV, The Missus doesn't like it so we have to watch it when she is not here, so, as she has taken a trip to 'The Dark Side' or Essex as it is also known as, we get to watch several episodes!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Friday is Fun Day!

Yo Woofers!

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

We have been having fun today, the Accountant has been over and we have been chasing him around the office!

He is not an 'Animal Person' and views anything with more legs than him as 'Suspect'!

So of course, we jumped up and then woofed and then tried to give him a lick and then we jumped up and in the end, Old Two Legs put us in the bedroom and shut the door!

Spoil Sport!

Next we decided that the birds on the bird feeder required a good woofing 'cos we haven't done that for some time, so we did.

Well, that was until OTL came down the stairs and told us to stop, why?

It was then that we decided to give the chicken a bash, so we woofed our tail off until OTL came down to see what we wanted!

That was rather good and Holly told me that the chicken we have has lots of stuff left over after our bits are taken away, there is loads of skin and bones and all manner of  chicken stuff left over and that The Missus then boils it all down and makes a 'Chicken Stock' out of it and afterwards uses the stock to make the home made soup that OTL loves!

It makes a change, normally it is us woofers who get the left overs!

This morning OTL got us up early again and off we went down the beach. Now, OTL never seems to want to just take a photo of wot is there in front of him and make it look 'Natural'. You know, splishy splashy waves for instance. TM wants to see the drops of water frozen and in mid air while OTL wants a slow shutter speed so that the waves look all misty and ethereal looking.

This morning the water was rather calm and the sky was rather dark, no sign of a sunrise.

So.

There was OTL resting the camera on the Sea Wall and clicking away using different settings but it was all done without any torch, so he couldn't see any of the dials on the camera!

It was a case of Fiddly Fiddly until he got what he wanted and then wait until he gets home to see what the computer says the settings were!

Just in case you were wondering......1/8/sec at F/5.6 ISO6400

There you go, mind you, we think the colours are OK!

See you tomorrow when it's back to Doggy Scoff!

Luv,

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

Is it a Plane or Venus?

Yo Ho Woofers!

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

Now then, pay attention we got a puzzle for you!

There we wuz, out walking in the dark with Old Two Legs this morning and he was showing off about a tiny spec of light in the sky.

'There', he says, 'is Venus!'

'It's called the Morning Star if you see it in the morning and the Evening Star if you see it in the evening!'

Holly asks, 'Wot about that star then, wots that called?'

Dunno says OTL, but it's moving.

'Might be a 'OOFO' says Holly who is into that sort of stuff!

What do you reckon?

Well?

 OK, what about this then?

............................or maybe?

 OK, I'll put you out of your misery, so stop screwing your eyes up!

He went all zoomy, zoomy with the camera!

 So therefore.......................

Now is it a Boeing747 or a Fokker Friendship?

 So as you don't get upset about not seeing the Sheerness Stars...............!

Just look at all those 'Stars'!

Look like Glow Worms to me!

Today it was rather warm at lunchtime so OTL brought May and Eric along for a run.

It took Eric a little while to get going but once he got moving he was OK.

Because May runs a bit faster than Eric, she was telling him that there were Nargles and Wild Woofers and Snakes in the grass ahead!

'Quick Eric, look at this snake!'

Of course there were no snakes, it was too early and too cold for snakes but Eric is easily scared!

That's how he got his nick name...........'Eric the Fearless'!

I don't like snakes!

Holly and I had some fun, we told the ferrets there were some rabbits in the bushes and if they came our way we could eat them but if they came towards the ferrets, they would have to fight them!

 Are you ready?

Holly and I did some very big woofs and pretended we were fighting rabbits in the grass. May was shouting for us to send one down to her but Eric was very quiet and kept behind May!

Eric the Fearless strikes again!

As soon as we got to the football field both Eric and May headed off towards the car at a gallop!

Do you think those rabbits are behind us?

May called Eric a wimp and told him there were no rabbits, just a big Dog Fox.

Eric got to the car first!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's still January!

Hi Woofers!

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

It seems that those Two Legs just don't really understand us woofers, wot a terrible thing to have your treasure whipped away just as you are getting used to hiding under your tongue!

Holly finds treasures, mostly my Bonio bones or my teeth cleaning chews!

I find treasures but they are normally pinched by the ferrets 'cos they love squeaky balls!

Now, the ferrets are little tea leaves for treasures, Freddy pinches Old Two Legs socks while Eric has got a thing about his 'Squeakies' but his big thing is wot The Missus calls her 'Smoothies' which are sponge things that look like tear drops, he nicks them and buries them in his special hiding places!

Miss May loves the 'Brambles Biscuits' which are really dog biscuits but she pinches them and hides them in the sofa!

Now Miss Wendy is a terror! She pinches OTL's socks and has been known to pinch The Missuses knickers off the clothes horse!

OTL says all us are little horrors, yeah!

We were out first thing this morning but there was no super sunrise, just the lights of Sheerness!

Well, the sun will come up, honest!

Back home it was a chance for a snooze while the ferrets caused all manner of trouble around the house while OTL did his 'Poo Shovelling'!

He gets all the good jobs!

Lunchtime down on the Sea Front we noticed that the tide was out and I suggested that Holly and I have a paddle in the mud!

If you want to go dancing in the mud, you are on your own!

 Looking over towards Southend we found it has disappeared!

There is was.....Gone!

 Back home we spotted a Sparrow Hawk in the bushes in the garden, we think he was looking for a Sparrow Lunch!

Here, Here, Little Sparrow!

Eric decided to come out for a slurp and afterwards, climbed onto OTL's arm, gave him a cuddle, licked his nose and fell asleep!

I just love this stuff!

We will be glad when the weather starts to get better, I reckon once January is out of the way we will see some more of the sun, claws crossed!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Warm today!

Hi Woofers!

We are back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

I tell you, down here we are missing out of the dramatic stuff like snow drifts, freezing fog and other stuff. All we can do is walk through the puddles and jump in the muddy bits!

We were out early this morning and were charging up and down the beach while Old Two Legs was clicking away, as normal!

........and the sun hasn't even got up yet!

One of the things about sun rises and sun sets is the light keeps moving and one moment it is all grey then suddenly it changes!

Sometimes when we are on holiday OTL will spot a good scene and then plan a shot and he will then sit there for ages waiting for the light.

Only occasionally it all comes together but mostly you can sit there waiting until your tail drops off!

The time between both of these photos was about three minutes but you can see the difference!

.....and the sun still hasn't got up!

Lunchtime we took Freddy and Wendy down to the beach and OTL used the squeaky ball again! Freddy was a little reluctant to waddle after OTL but a couple of squeaks of the ball and he was off!

We met up with 'Prince', the woofer who got lost a little while ago. His Two Legs decided to walk with OTL so Freddy and Wendy had to be picked up and carried.

Not that Freddy was complaining!

When we got to the football field, they said goodbye to Prince and enjoyed  a dig at the mole hills and a good ferret in the grass!

Back home again and it was time for some late lunch, chicken!

There was a lovely bowl of chicken waiting for us and afterwards, a snooze under OTL's desk!

We can sniff curry, so we know what OTL has for dinner tonight and of course we look forward to a nibble of Nan Bread dipped in the gravy!

Yum! Yum!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Eric and The Squeaky!

Hi Woofers!

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

Now, yesterday it snowed but we forgot to show you how bad the blizzard was. Old Two Legs said it was too bad to go out, so he took a picture of the computer screen that is connected to a camera!

Will we need snow shoes?

This morning it was dark and the sky was all dark and the sunrise just didn't happen! Mind you, I had a bit of luck, we found a ball, a brand new yellow tennis ball!

Mine, All Mine!

 OTL would kick it and I chased it and when I lost it OTL found it and hid it in the car!

Of course, I found it 'cos of the sniff, I mean, you just couldn't miss the sniff, well unless you are OTL!

It was rather warmer than yesterday and there was nothing about rain in the forecast so at lunchtime Eric and May came out with us.

Eric, like Freddy is not really into this walking lark but today he got a surprise, OTL had brought along one of his squeaky balls!

So, when Eric look like slowing down, we would get a squeak and off he would go chasing OTL along the beach!

Who's got me Squeaky?

 Miss May has got a thing about rolling in a good sniff on the beach and some times OTL has to drag her off the sea weed!

I've really missed this!

I decided that I would leave the ball on the beach and to make sure no one pinched it I decided to bury it!

Must get deeper!

 Unfortunately, Holly doesn't share my love of ball hiding, she did at least sit down and wait for me.

For Gawd's sake, how much longer?

Of course, back home Eric and May were asleep in no time! You can tell they missed there walk on the beach. Tomorrow it will be Freddy and Wendy's time for a run, providing it's warm and not raining!

By the way, we have been informed that yesterday we got Boo's puppies name wrong! They are not called Wee and Poo!

They are called Sooty and Sweep!

Holly says that she still prefers Poo and Wee!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Snow, Rain and Sleet!

Hi Woofers!

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

At last, we got some snow today, not a lot and it didn't settle and it was mostly just wet and cold, however, it snowed!

First thing this morning there was no sign of any thing wet, in fact it was rather dry and we could see some red in the sky underneath all the clouds.

A 'Morning Glow'!

Holly and I were chasing up and down the beach while Old Two Legs was watching the sky and saying that there was going to be a 'Magnificiant Sunrise', if we were lucky!

Now, not that we didn't believe him but as young Miss May says, 'Red sky in the Dawning, Ferrets take Warning'!

Then it happened, pow! The whole sky turned red, except for the grey and black bits!

Getting all warmed up!

The best bit was when the sky looked like it was about to burst into flames!

We all stood there going WOW!

WOW!

Then, suddenly, it all went out, like you had turned the lights out, it was all back to being cold , grey and black!

Back home it was the normal business, OTL shovelling Ferret Poo while the ferrets robbed him of slurps of Ferretone!

Eric was trying all sorts of tricks to get more Ferretone. After slurping the cap dry, he left the bottle and ran over to OTL and started licking his fingers. If that didn't work he would climb into OTL's arm and roll onto his back then as OTL put his nose close, Eric would start licking for all he was worth! OTL would end up with a Ferret Licked Nose, Chin, Cheek and Forehead!

Then Eric got some Ferretone!

That was hard work and my tongue is almost worn out!

Now, you remember little Boo, she had some puppies who are now seven weeks old and their Two Legs took some photo's of them with their mum!

Boo with her babies!

OK, all together .........................Aaaaaaaaaaah!

Mummy and puppies are doing well and Holly Chops has given them names......let me introduce you to...........

Wee and Poo!

Holly reckons that our ferrets are bigger than them, mind you, the ferrets don't woof like wot they do!

Good to see that Izzy and The Mob have survived the snow, lets hope they survive the cold after having their hair cut!

It won't be long before Spring is here with a bang!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Rain or Snow?

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, as far as the weather goes today, we have seen better!

We were up early again to beat the rain that was promised by the weather man and we managed to get around before it started.

We don't need a flash light, we got noses!

I don't know why he uses that flash thing every morning, the pictures are a load of rubbish really!

I prefer it when the sun makes the sky all coloured and we get twinkly lights from Southend or Sheerness!

The Missus has been up at the village hall having their Christmas Party, yes, I know it's half way through January but they are a funny lot at the best of times!

We were going to take Fred and Wendy up to the hall to meet Rosie but she wasn't there so Freddy showed off went to bed early!

Lunchtime came and back down the beach again it was holding off the heavy rain, you know, the stuff that runs down under your collar or under your tail!

It's then that you have difficulty in deciding whether you would rather have some snow!

At least the snow doesn't run under your tail!

Come on, hurry up before the real stuff starts!

 Now down this end of the world there are some Two Legs who do the most daft things, like the two who were trying to teach worms to swim, in the rain and the wind!

Holly said that worms don't normally swim but when they do it is The Crawl!

Can worms do the Brest Stroke?

We left them to it and headed back home, just in time 'cos down came the rain again!

The afternoon was spent relaxing on the sofa watching the Britannia series on the TV. We have to watch it when TM is out cos there is loads of swearing and sword fights!

I think the rain is going to hang about for tomorrow so I can see that we will be having 'Speed Wee's' just like today!

Roll on Spring, I want to go swimming again!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

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

That's a Big Wee!

Hi Woofers!

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

We had the wind yesterday, nothing to do with Holly's tummy, I mean the stuff that blows the clouds away!

This morning it was a slight frost, enough to cover the windscreen on the car before we headed off to the beach. Five minutes with the blower on soon cleared that and off we went.

It was still well before sunrise and the colours in the sky were terrific! I mean, just look at this photo and it was paw held as well!

That's a ship heading into the Medway!

 We thought it wonderful how the colours go from blue through yellow and orange to dark grey!

Can you see the star in the middle? Again, hand held camera!

You can imagine what it would be like if Old Two Legs used a tripod!

Lunchtime we took Freddy and Wendy out with us and Freddy was doing his normal trick, you know, 'Ooooooo My Paw Hurts!'

He was making such a fuss that OTL carried him all the way to the beach where he did a quick wee.

As he was on the sand, we were all attracted by a tug playing with his fire hose!

WOW! Says Freddy, just look at that boat having a wee!

We all thought that was brilliant observation by Freddy especially as he has never seen a fire hose working before!

One Serious Wee!

Back at the football field Freddy reluctantly agreed to walk across the field but OTL still had to pretend he was going to pick Freddy up a couple of times, until Freddy gave up and decided that walking was going to save a lot of disappointment!

Back home we all crashed out for a well earned snooze, all except OTL who was reading a book The Missus gave him for his birthday.

Shetland.

The way he is reading and re-reading bits of it I feel that there is and 'Adventure' coming up either this autumn or next Spring!

Holly and decided that we wouldn't go 'cos the last time we went on a ferry we were in some 'Rough Water' that made us feel terrible!

He's on his own!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Eric gets some exercise!

Hello Woofers!

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

Last night Old Two Legs was a naughty OTL, he sneaked two slurps of malt and a whole packet of honeycomb bits!

This morning he was a whole hour late in getting up!

Mind you, Holly and I were still fast asleep when The Missus stuck her head into the bedroom and shouted for OTL to get up!

She is SOOOO LOUD!

Down on the beach we could see the sky and the trails left by the jets!

.......and the sun isn't even up yet!

Looking across the River Medway you could see the colours of the sunrise lighting up the sky!

Just look at those jet trails!

 OTL was clicking away and he just had to try the flash!

It would be great were it not for the wind!

 The wind was terrible, it had blown all the clouds away but the wind chill was terrible!

It improved when the sun crept over the horizon and you could feel the difference but the wind was still blowing!

........well, at least there is no snow!

 Lunchtime the wind had dropped down a bit so Eric agreed to a walk on the beach. Miss May was having a great time rolling in all the sniffs and Eric was walking a short way, gets a lift from OTL and then gets down again!

OK, I'm now exhausted, I need a lift!

 The tide was right in and there was only a small bit of beach we could walk on!

It's a good job it's not an on shore wind or we cold get washed out the sea!

So, while the rest of the country is suffering from six feet of snow we get wind and sunshine!

Mind you, later this afternoon we had a few rain showers pass us by, but no snow!

Holly is not too happy about that 'cos she has just got a new snow board that she got from Amazon at a really good price!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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