Relax, it's Saturday!

Hi Woofers!

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

After all that rain yesterday and last night it has been good to see the sun and feel the gentle breeze on a woofers nose!

Even if it has the sniff of Kebab from somewhere up the river!

This morning the sky was almost clear of any clouds, just a few fluffy things in the distance that didn't bother us at all!

How mornings should be, all year long!
 We met up with Meg who was out with her Two Legs. We all had a sniff and caught up on the 'Sniff News' and discussed the big German Shepherd Dog that was woofing in the distance, he's only six months old and yet to learn his manners!

Yep! I can hear him, he's a Big Baby Bozo GSD!
 Back home The Missus had gone up the Village Hall for another Master Class in Glue Splashing and Glitter Sniffing!

I don't know just how she manages to get it all in her hair and around her nose! In the evening when the side lights are switched on, she looks like a family of Glow Worms flying around!

Lunchtime we were down the Sea Wall again and Old Two Legs found a Chalkhill Blue that kept on flying around, then landing on the same plant. So, there was OTL, kneeling in front of the plant while this Chalkhill Blue kept flying around and landing for a slurp.

OTL wanted him to open his wings out fully but it refused, so this was the best shot he could get!

You are lucky I have landed so be quick or I'll fly off again!
 So, not the best but worth showing you what a Chalkhill Blue looks like!

We had the same trouble with the Large White we came across. These butterflies seem never to land for more than two seconds, so it's a real pain trying to get a shot but today one landed just ahead of OTL and he swooped in and managed just one click of the camera, pity it was from the back but you can't always get them posing as you want!

OK, let's look at the map again!
 We just loved the description of Archie Babe trying to look innocent while standing there with a mouth full of Love Hearts!

He has just got to be quicker than that!

Mind you, we have been taught not to pinch stuff unless it is for us but that doesn't stop us from pinching each others 'Treats' like Rawhide Chew, Jumbones and Teeth Cleaning Chews!

There is normally a punch up going on at the same time plus OTL telling us off for making such a noise!

OTL has been promised a Kebab tonight, so, if we are in luck, we may get a little bit of Kebab to nibble on!

It was good to see that Auntie Sue managed to stay afloat down in the wilds of Romney Marsh. You have to watch out for sneaky Tsunami's down that end of the world. I remember when Holly and I were down there and Holly fell into a ditch and came up almost jet black with the mud that stuck to every bit of her!

She didn't like the shower she had when she got back to the caravan!

Happy Days!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

The Thoughts of Holly Einstein!

Hi Woofers!

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

Today has been a sort of 'Wet Day', like it started to rain as we were out walking this morning, mid you, the clouds looked a little dramatic!

It looks like rain!
 We managed to miss the morning rain but on our lunchtime walk the rain started in earnest and we just made it back to the car before the heavens opened up and everywhere got a good washing!

If it comes down any more the sniffs will be washed away!
Well, it did, in fact there was so much water being dumped that it filled the pond up to the top!

That should keep the frogs happy, never mind the other things that lurk at the bottom of the pond!

We did like the idea of a couple of paella pans full of meaty stuff just waiting to be eaten providing the council to set fire to the grass!

Mind you, we are rather partial to a bit of fish fried in batter, preferably a bit of cod!

We loved the idea that Archie Babe's Two Legs has got an itchy bit, Holly says it must run in the family 'cos Archie suffers from an itchy butt and has to get it squeezed every so often.

Does that mean his TL will have to get her butt squeezed!

Now, there was the question of a 'Mixed Bag of Weather' from Mrs Goodes.

Holly Chops says it is rather simple really. A Mixed Bag means you can get several types of weather at once, say rain and sunshine. That way you could find yourself getting wet and rusty and rain dripping off your nose while at the same time the sun can be burning your butt!

It is in conditions like that you will see a rainbow but not from your butt!

Just watch out for the Horizontal Rain together with a Snow Blizzard, that could give you icicles on your bits!

Holly Chops has spoken!

Bye for now!

Luv,

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

We don't do wet!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, what a change today has been!

We went out early first thing this morning and there were drops of rain all over the car and windscreen!

Walking on the Sea Front wasn't too bad, just the occasional drip on the nose!

We were down early enough to see the last bit of the sunrise, we reckon soon we will be looking for those deep red sky's and dramatic clouds!

Not the best we have seen but it's a beginning!
 Now, you can tell it has been raining 'cos the snails were climbing up the plants getting ready to climb above the impending floods!

Well, that's wot they said!

If I hang like this I can see the water climbing up the stalk!
Mind you, they were not the only ones trying to stay dry. We spotted this tiny moth hanging onto the stalk and trying to look inconspicuous!


  
We reckon this moth was about six millimetres long!
 Then we saw some more snails hanging on to the bushes. Do you think they are a new breed of Tree Snail?

It could be a new species of Monkey Snail!
 We got back home just in time, the rain has been falling all day. Around lunchtime we took one look at the pond being splashed with rain drops and decided we would not be going out! OTL had to go down the carriers on his own!

Archie Babe would have been proud of us, we both stayed on our beds and refused to take a step closer to the front door!

We might go out later this evening, just for a quick wander around the garden, providing it has stopped raining!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

It's almost freezing!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what a change it was this morning. We woke up and it was still all warm inside the bedroom and office. So, another warm and muggy day!

We got out and Old Two Legs took his fleece with him! Did he know something we don't?

Down on the football field the wind was blowing in from the West and blowing the trees about all over the place!

Just look at those leaves turning over in the wind!
There were clouds up in the sky and the temperature was at least ten degrees lower than yesterday!

Now it wasn't too bad, I mean, we didn't go wobbly with the heat and the sniffs were still there, even after the rain that came down last night.

Not that we heard it, we were too busy snoozing!

Lunchtime the clouds blew away and the sun came out and it was warm enough for OTL to leave his fleece in the car!

The tide was out so bang goes the swim!

I don't know what it is but it's got a strange sniff!
 The wind was still arriving from the West so we were getting sniffs from up river which is London!

Hey! I can sniff some serious Koffte Kebabs!
We got home still sniffing the Kebab and we were presented with our dinner...........Doggy Scoff!

Dinner tonight for OTL will be curry, so no chance of mugging him!

The ferrets have been sleeping most of the time because of the heat but if the weatherman is correct, we should be getting some cooler weather over the next week or so and who knows, they may get a chance to get out for a run!

I'm off to see if the Doggy Scoff looks any better, who knows, it might even taste better!

See you tomorrow Woofers!

Luv,

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

Something Different Today!

Yo Ho Woofers!

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

Well, another sort of lazy day where nothing too exciting has taken place, I mean, we have had The Missus sorting out her stock room and putting loads of stuff into crates to go up to the next meeting at the village hall.

Eric and Monty took it in turns to help TM get all the stuff sorted out.

We didn't think TM was too happy about it 'cos as soon as she had shifted all their toys out of the room they rushed back stored all the rubber balls back under the boxes and of course then there is nowhere to store the card stuff!

Guess wot ferret got into trouble!

Going out for our walk OTL decided to take two cameras with us. First thing in the morning the sun wasn't bright enough to give any spectacular results, so we took the little camera and clicked away!

OK, so we let OTL do some Fiddly Diddly on the sky!
After that we decided to chase a big hairy tailed German Shepherd Dog and make sure he remembers we deserve some respect.

Well, that's what we told him and the fact he was on a lead helped!

Yeah, you and whose pack Bozo Brains!
 It was lunchtime that the sun was strong enough to almost set the trees and bushes alight!

We haven't been here for a few weeks!
Mind you, leaving the path alone for a while means that a new batch of sniffs can mature to produce some very interesting sniffs!

OTL had some good news today, it seems that he is due some of the income tax he has to pay up front!

So, a quick trip down the bank to cash the cheque made him a happy puppy. Not that it was a lot, it was just the fact that he got some money back!

Hey! This sniff is well matured!
So, another day of being lazy, curling up in a shady spot and enjoying a snooze!

I wonder if Izzy and the gang are enjoying having their Puppy Sitter to look after them?

I don't think I would be happy letting the Two Legs go off on their own on holiday, I mean, you just don't know what sort of trouble they could be getting into when left on their own!

We don't trust OTL or TM to be on their own, we have heard tales of OTL getting into all sorts of trouble when he has been away with his cousin Alun so what sort of trouble would there be with TM in tow!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

More Infrared Fotos!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, it's been another super day here, loads of sun shine, some serious sniffs and Old Two Legs has been playing with his Infrared Camera again!

I must say that combining the infrared photo together with a little Fiddly Diddly on the computer make it look 'Different'!


Well...........it's different if nothing else!
 Just using the IR camera and the Black and White settings it can be a bit 'Boring' but too much Fiddly Diddly makes it look false!

Interesting but not different enough to be 'Wow!'
 We played about with different settings and had fun photographing the plant life alongside the path.

Not bad but we could have done with a wider lens!
As we didn't have a wider lens OTL turned the camera sideways and tried again but we couldn't get the grass and all the leaves in without stepping back a few feet. Doing that would mean OTL woud fall into the ditch by the side of the old fort, I think they used to call it a moat!

Well, if OTL can't go back, what about digging the trey up and moving that back?
 We decided that the last shot we would take would be the 'Post Box' where OTL puts all the poo!

Well, I mean, he spends so much time chasing after us for a bag of poo the box has just got to be  an important item!

The end of all things is here!
 After the last shot, Holly had this wonderful idea. Instead of OTL taking photo's, let's take a picture of OTL!

I mean, we never get to see him on this blog, just the pictures he has taken of us!

So, we proudly present, OLD TWO LEGS!

Next we will try some Fiddly Diddly on the computer to change his hair purple!
We all got our claws crossed for Archie Babes mum and hope she is feeling better today, loads of cuddles from Archie should do the trick!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Catching up!

Hi Woofers!

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

Sorry about yesterday, we were so busy during the day helping Old Two Legs do all his filing of paper and then getting all the computer ready for his next 'Trading Year' we were just too late to do the Diary, well, that and the fact OTL decided to celebrate and got in a super Chinese Takeaway with loads of Plawn Clackers and King Plawns!

I must admit, we made little pigs look polite!

When we went out for our walk, OTL decided to take the Infrared Camera with him 'cos it really looks good when the sun is shining!

Mind you, the results are a bit like Marmite, you know, love it or hate it!

We love Marmite!


What do bunnies look like in Infrared?
 Mind you the sniffs on the football field were unaffected by infrared, the only one who was affected was OTL who told us off when we went for a roll!

Come on, there's another sniff over here!
 OTL was still playing with the camera looking for and artistic shot!

A path to nowhere!
 Down at the Sea Wall we though there could be a chance of a swim but when we got there we found the sea was somewhere near the horizon!

Well, it was here this morning!
 We headed up to the Grass Path and met up with young Zeus who after a sniff decided he wanted to play 'Chase' so we joined in for a while, until we all got to hot to continue!

Nothing like a game of Chase!
 After a while Zeus was called away which to be honest, we didn't mind 'cos we we almost worn out!

We headed for the picnic table where there was some shade to relax under while OTL was trying to photograph a Red Darter Dragonfly, without much success!

Do you think it is compulsory for TL's to do that?
Back home the ferrets were fast asleep. To keep them cool OTL had put a frozen pack under their beds which as far as a ferret is concerned, is heaven!

So, a Sunday well spent, now we got some chicken to look forward to tonight.

Then an early night and with a bit of luck, an early morning run on the beach!

Holly has been looking at the calendar and reckons we have just over five weeks before we are on holiday again and with a bit of luck, we may still have this good weather!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another Fry day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, I don't know about you but we have had a very hot day down here. At lunch time after our walk we had to drop some stuff off at the carriers. As we got close to the carrier, Old Two Legs took a look at the dashboard menu and saw that the outside temperature was thirty two and a half degrees!

The air conditioning doesn't work too well in the big car so it felt as hot inside as it was outside!

You know we had to open the windows to get some fresh air!

This morning we had a gentle breeze but the sky was cloudless, so we knew to expect a day for hunting out the best shade!

Not a cloud to be seen!
 The football field where they held the Goose Fair the other week, there are still loads of super sniffs, especially around where they had the 'Hot Dog' stand!

Trust Holly Chops to find every one of them!

This is the Burger and Chips spot!
 When we got down to the Sea Shore the tide was out but I decided to have a game with OTL. I was off the lead so I waited until we got to the Sea Wall and then jumped down onto the beach as if I was going to have a swim in the mud!

There was OTL, jumping up and down and promising me all sorts of doom and gloom and a severe wash!

Well, I pretended not to have heard him but I stayed out of the mud and climbed back up onto the Sea Wall!

I really could do with a mud bath!
 Of course, I didn't go into the mud, I mean, I didn't want OTL to blow his top especially as today is Friday and there is a chance of a Rawhide Chew after the Tesco man has been!

The rest of today has been spent hunting out cool dark places!

It was good to hear Archie Babes TL is back and up to speed, it's amazing what they can do with a new pair of grey/green stockings!

The only problem Holly can see is that if they are too tight, you could end up with a double chin and soon you'll end up looking like a British Bulldog!

It has cooled down enough for me to go looking for my dinner, so I'll say bye, bye for now and 'see you tomorrow'!

Luv,

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

Holly plays The Tart, again!


Hello Woofers!

Us back again! Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Midd Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Another super hot day today. We went out this morning and both Holly and I had our new harnesses on.

Dead smart we looked as well!

The only problem with the harnesses is that they really should be for Autumn or Winter time or even maybe early Spring when there is a chill in the air.
Today it felt a little too warm and in fact at the lunchtime stroll we got Old Two Legs to remove the harnesses all together!

This morning was fun though, especially when Holly spotted Bert and said she was going to 'Wind Him Up'.

That means Holly is about to play The Tart again!

These things do look good but they get a bit warm under the legs!
 While OTL was trying to stop me from rolling in a real stinky sniff, Holly had wandered on a bit and sat down.

Hey! She says over her shoulder, 'Look what is coming over the hill!

I Spy with My Little Eye, something beginning with Dozy Bozo!
 Sure enough coming over the hill was Bert, on his lead as usual.

Hey Girlie, wait for me!
 'Here' says Holly with a wicked look in her eye, 'Let's have some fun!

Look into my eyes Bert my boy!
 Poor Bert, he is in love with Holly but all she does is wind him up something rotten!

Bert stood for a while looking at Holly who didn't move a muscle and Bert still couldn't move away 'cos he was staring into her eyes!

Wot lovely Big Brown Eyes you have my dear!
 That was it, Bert moved just one hair closer and Holly jumped sideways!

Fooled Ya!
Holly bounced off laughing her tail off and poor Bert was left all on his own watching her waddle off down the hill!

She can be a terrible tease sometimes and it seems that Bert gets it every time!

It's a good job Archie Babe isn't here, he'd sort her out!

We were glad to read that Archie Babe's TL is back and giving her orders, poor Boy, stuck between a rock and a hard place!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Do we look The Dogs or Wot!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super warm day it's been, no rain, just sunshine!

Mind you, it was a little cloudy to start but no rain!

A morning that is 'Just Right'!
Now, I don't know if you remember, but we got a new coat come harness at the Kent County Show and they cost so much that Old Two Legs was worried we may damage them if we put them on!

Well, today my harness was in  the wash to get all the mud and sea weed off it from yesterday so today OTL had to get out the new one!

Once the straps had been adjusted to fit Holly and I set off to wow the lads!

Come on! Take a look at us!
I must say, we did look 'The Business' especially as the harness has a handle on the back so OTL can lift us in and out of the car if we are too tired from running around chasing rabbits and Nargles!

Well, I don't see any Nargles but we still look The Dogs Do Darrs!
We got down to the beach but there was no one to see us, just a couple of Two Legs with their Mini TL's off for a paddle in the mud!

We were about to head home when little Amber popped up and wanted to look at the harnesses!

Dead impressed she was as well!

It looks a good fit under your tummy!
 Those handles on the back will come handy when we are muddy 'cos OTL will be able to pick us up and load us into the car. Mind you, if he picks us both up at the same time...................we look like a couple of Doggy Bags!

Now, if you think we are spoilt, just take a look at Rocky's latest bit of furniture, it's a Podium so he can watch the world go by outside his cage!

OK, so where is my Nibble Pot?
 We have not heard anything yet but Archie Babe will keep us informed how his TL is doing. I wonder if he has got 'Boy' trained yet?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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