It's that Computer Again!

Hello Woofers!

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

Us woofers have been benefiting from Old Two Legs reading the Stephen Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time' only this is the third time he has read it and still he is mystified on several points!

We reckon he has also learnt some serious descriptions of our computer!

Judging by what he has been calling it today we don't think E=MCquite covers it!

If it were me I'd learn how to use pen and paper!

We were up early again this morning and discovered that The Missus was still in bed!

Most unusual!

OTL got up and found that the downstairs light was still on, so that means TM has been up 'Getting Inspired'!

When we went out we got inspired as well, Eric said he could hear Nargles and I'm sure I heard something moving in the grass!

Wossat?
The computer naming carried on all morning and in the end TM said she couldn't stand it any more and rushed off to the doctors surgery to get her ears syringed out!

That left us having to use the big car to get down to the beach with Wendy and Monty.

Monty was dashing about while Wendy had her head in the grass having a good sniff for monsters!

Monty reckons he saw the monster but before he could jump on top of it, it ran away!

Well, I did see a monster but it ran off as soon as it saw me!
Now, we all think that when OTL or TM goes to have their eyes sorted, they should take Monty with them and get his checked out!

Today we have got chicken instead of Doggy Scoff but the only problem is, we got scoff tomorrow!

OTL is still playing with the computer so we will leave him to it and head off to see what nibbles there are in the kitchen!

With her ears all washed out, TM can hear us coming down the stairs!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Five cats?

Hi Woofers!

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

It's been a funny old day today. The Missus overslept by a couple of hours, Old Two Legs said it was the booze!

We were out good and early as well but we were still up before the sun poked it's nose over the horizon.

At the point where we turn back to the car OTL took a picture of a ship leaving on the morning tide.

Steady as you go Number One!
We told OTL that we were getting fed up with missing the morning sun but he said that the clocks go back in a couple of weeks and we can have as much sun as we want!

Mind you, we will be getting an extra hour in bed!

As we got back to the car, we looked back to see the sun shining on the clouds and aeroplane vapour trails!

Roll on the end of the month, an extra hour plus a sunrise every morning!
 Of course, lunchtime Monty was all for sunshine and getting up an hour later than normal 'cos at the moment he doesn't show his tail until eight thirty!

Mind you, OTL says that when he grows up he'll be a 'Ferret of Leasure'!

Down on the grass he was having a great time hunting, there were slugs and snails but after a sniff decided that were not for eating and then tried hunting mouses and shrews instead!

That slug sniffed like a load of woofer poo!
 One thing they both do is to try to keep up with us as we walk along the grass path. Unlike that hooligan Eric who thinks it's funny to try to give us a nip!

These two just like to keep up with us and of course, if Holly and I get involved in a good sniff they will wander on a bit then sit down to wait for us!

Yep! They are right behind us!
 Now, we had some fun this afternoon, you see OTL had got some new cable to connect the com[outers and the Internetty Modem together. We sort of misheard what he was saying and so we though that he had brought in five cats!

Well, he said he had some Cat5 cables!

Just wait, one day we'll get him with our Sub Woofers!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

The Sun is back!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a difference a day makes!

For instance, The Missus stayed up an hour later than normal watching the final Harry Potter DVD. That means she will wake up an hour later than normal which means.............we get longer in bed to finish off our sleep!

It also means that Old Two Legs gets woken up earlier and that means...............we get down the Sea Front before the sun gets up!

Now, this is not on!
 We don't mind walking in the dark but you would have thought the Sun could have woken up to say hello!

Little Eric was ferreting around but had only his nose to guide him. Holly suggested that he borrows OTL's head lamp but after discussion with OTL we decided that battery would be too heavy!
 
Can you make the flash a bit longer?
Eric decided that it would be a good excuse he could use when he ran into the back of us!

I'm coming to get yooooo!
As we headed back to the car, the clouds sort of parted and we could see a bright patch but nowhere near where the sun should be!

Maybe it's a Yoo Ef Ho!

It was much better at lunchtime, the clouds have been blown away and the sun was out making everything warm again!

Monty and Wendy were enjoying a good ferret while Holly and I said Hello to a woofer we hadn't seen for ages!

Monty then had a good idea!

If we closed our eyes then ran into Holly or Daisy would that be a good excuse?
 Well, he tried but as he got close I told him I could see his shadow and that I was feeling very hungry and could just fancy a Ferret Sandwich!

Yeah? Well I just fancy Woofer on Toast!
We all had a good laugh 'cos Wendy and Monty are not like Eric and have never given us a nip!

Back home we all headed off for a snooze before dinner.

Yesterday we had Doggy Scoff and OTL had Curry.

We don't like scoff and curry in not my favourite, so we had to starve all evening until we took a deep breath and finished off the scoff!

If the weather is going to be the same tomorrow, we are going to get OTL out into the garden.

That will teach him!

Mind you, we may get chicken tonight, but that won't get him out of trouble!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's WET!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret here on a wet Monday!

After all of the super weather we have had this year, it looks like the 'normal' weather is back. Over night we were woken by the rain drops on the window and the dripping of the water, over the gutter and down onto the window ledge!

It didn't help to have The Missus bouncing around in bed and kicking both Holly and I off the bed!

As normal, it was pitch black when we went out for our morning walk and the rain was just finishing.

Old Two Legs decided to leave the camera at home 'cos he didn't want to get it all wet. It didn't matter 'cos the sun stayed behind the clouds and to be honest, there was nothing to see at all!

Eric was doing his favourite trick of waiting for Holly and I to catch up and then hurrying us up to get back to the car before it rained again!

Lunchtime the rain had eased off so Wendy and Monty were out with us. Monty walked all the way from the car, across the football field and all the way down to the Sea Wall. It was at that point he went looking for Nargles!

I think I've found one, I'm sure it's a Nargle, I know it's a Nargle!

 After a good ferret around and a lot of snuffling he lifted his head and said.........

It's run away!
That's the trouble with Nargles, they always run away!

Looking at the weather forecast, we should be getting some better weather over the next few days.

On our way around the walk today we met up with a bird watcher who complained that he hadn't seen any geese on the mud flats and I must say that the Brent Geese normally turn up at the end of September and the Canada Geese are normally here by now.

I reckon all the geese have stayed on holiday 'cos the weather has been so warm this year!

So, have a look at the area where you live to see when the winter birds arrive!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

OTL has got out of weeding!

Hi Woofers!

The Gangs all here, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Last night we had some fun. It was a couple of foxes playing out the front of our house that woke Holly  and of course if Holly wakes up then I'm awake as well!

We looked out the bedroom window in time to see them wander off, well, what do we do now?

Tell Old Two Legs!

Holly and I jumped onto OTL and we both gave his ears and shoulders a good licking!

He was delighted we woke him and he gratefully mentioned his thanks and told us to woof off!

We know he was only playing and so we gave him another lick!

So, there we were awake a whole thirty minutes earlier than normal!

Of course, down on the Sea Front it was still dark and the sun was somewhere over the Mediterranean but it didn't stop OTL from clicking away with the camera!

Any earlier and it would be stars in the sky!
Now, yesterday we were showing off out glittery bits and poor Eric was all non-reflective, not today!

Eric found if he kept his eyes open there would be a bit of light bouncing off his eyeball!

OK, not as flash as our glitter but there was a little light there or as OTL says, a Twinkle!
We think that Eric wants to grow up to be a Sheep Dog. When we are out with him he spends all his time 'Rounding' us up and making sure we don't get lost!

Holly says he just an old fuss pot but it's nice to know he cares about us!

Get them up, move them out, get them up Rawhide!
Now, on the other paw Monty and Wendy are more interested in 'Ferret Sniffs' and leave us alone to get on with Woofer Sniffs except when Monty joins Holly and I in a Sniff Lesson!

We will be glad when Monty grows up a bit. He still has trouble with the steps and although he does get up, it is still a struggle!

I swear these steps are growing!
 Holly says that she gets a little bored waiting for Monty and Wendy but it's still better than having Eric chasing yer tail!

Wake me up when they get close!
 Monty does enjoy the grass path and the sniffs and he has taken to hiding in the grass until Holly and I pass and at that point he jumps out!

I bet they can't see me!
 This afternoon it looked like rain, so bang goes the weeding!

Maybe next week!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Change of plans, make it a LAZY DAY!

Hi Woofers!

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

As you know, we were planing a very industrious day, you know, slaving over a weed patch and a grubby pond.

Old Two Legs was going to take us all out for a run this morning, only it was us woofers who did the running and fast trots!

However, we still beat the sun in getting up!
Mind you, looking at the sunrise you wouldn't believe it was still dark on the Sea Wall. OTL had to use the 'Flash' setting on the camera, but hey, it showed up our 'Reflective Strips'!

It's us, The Glitter Girls!
Eric, who was with us didn't have any glow in the dark strips on his gear, so, even if we used flash he was still difficult to see!

Now you see me, and now you don't!
It was rather warm this morning and just seemed to get warmer as the day wore on. At lunchtime it was really warm and both Wendy and Monty were not as quick up the path, in fact they said that they fancied a little sun bathe before ferreting around in the grass!

I just fancy an ice cream cone, Lactose Free of course!
Lunchtime came and Holly and I had our Doggy Scoff while OTL made himself a couple of Marmite Sandwiches. He was sitting in front of the TV when he was eating them and as soon as he finished, he fell asleep!

Mind you, we were not complaining 'cos Holly and were upstairs snoozing on the bed!

Bang goes the 'Weeding plan'!

Late afternoon we woke up, wandered down stairs to tell OTL we fancied another walk, so, out we went over the football field and this time Miss May came with us for a run around!

Well, not really a run around more of a little ferret around the field,, stopping to get a carry from OTL every so often when her legs got a little tired!

Back home she went straight to her feeding bowl for a nibble and then promptly fell asleep on the hammock!

It doesn't take long to get her tired out!

So, plans for tomorrow, weed the garden and pond.

Wot chance?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Friday, 12 October 2018

It's Friday!

Hi Woofers!

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

We just love Friday's, it means that Old Two Legs finishes early and we can sit down and plan what we are doing over the weekend.

We know that The Missus is off to her Master Class in the the village hall tomorrow so that means we will get the big car to take us to the sea side!

OTL says that if the weather is kind, he plans to do some clearing up in and around the pond in the garden. There is loads of dead leaves blowing around and the reeds have dropped there leaves as well!

It could be fun if the sun is shining but if it rains, well, there is always the DVD player and some nibbles on the sofa!

Today we didn't see the sun, we beat it again and OTL was a little disappointed that he didn't have any dramatic clouds on the horizon!

Yeh! It's OK but not exactly Pow!
One thing we have noticed when we bring young Eric on our walk, he just loves to be 'In Charge'!

What he does is wait until we have walked past him and then he will come along. However, if we hang back, he stands there looking at us and sometimes even takes a swipe as we go past, a sort of 'Get a move on'!

Holly calls him a 'Bossy Ferret'!

Better get a move on or he will be after us!
Back home we spent a super time snoozing on the bed, you know it sure is comfortable and very relaxing!

The lunchtime walk was super, a gentle warm breeze blowing down stream! Monty and Wendy had a great time sniffing the sniffs and better still, they didn't try to boss us about!

Well, we'll wait up there for them to catch up!
You know it is amazing to see that after their walk the ferrets spend most of the day fast asleep in their cages. That is excluding Miss May, she gets to stay in bed when Eric goes out. OTL says that May would get too tired if she came out and as she is getting old, she is around six years old, she finds the rampage around the house is just enough exercise before she falls asleep!

OTL knows all her sleeping places which range from the 'Pinny Box' to the underside of the chairs in the lounge!

Mind you, she gets a bit 'wobbly' when she first comes out of the cage and needs a sit down before heading down stairs to the 'Brambles Biscuits'!

Yesterday OTL had Beef Burger and Salad, now we don't do salad but the burger looked rather tasty, so, like good woofers we sat next to OTL giving him the 'Signs'!

Holly and I got a bit of burger but what we didn't know was the crafty OTL had wrapped the burger around the worming tablet!

By the time we had worked out what he had done the burger bit and pill had landed in our tummy!

Oh well, maybe next time we will get to wind him up!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Eye Spy!

Hi Woofers!

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

Up early, again!

We will be glad when we get back to Real Time again, you know we are up, walked and on our way home before the sun gets up!

It's not fair!

Like, today all Old Two Legs had to photograph is Sheerness under the street lights!

Not quite the same as a big sunrise!

Well, the colour is there even if the sun isn't!
 Back home OTL was busy with the VAT. In fact, not only the paperwork but trying to get the accounts program to talk to the HMRC VAT section of the empire!

In the end he paid the VAT and then broke down sobbing, mind you he does that every time he has to pay the VAT!

Lunchtime we went out a little earlier than normal. When we got down to the Sea Front there was some new sniffs, tourists!

I've not sniffed this before!
We had Wendy and Monty with us, as normal, and he is getting to know all of the sniffs we come across. He will be a keen sniffing expert in a year or two!

Yes, that's correct, Old Woofer with upset tummy!
Another thing is, Monty just loves tearing about in the grass looking for Nargles. Just of late Miss Wendy has been joining in with the hunt!


Tally Ho Monty Babe, get yer tail in gear!
Today The Missus and OTL headed off to the hospital to get TM's eyeballs tested. She will be going in for cataract treatment and there is even a chance that she will get her eyes all done before Christmas!

Now, we reckon Archie Babes mum is a very kind and caring Two Legs, I mean, taking her neighbour to the TL Vets and then getting Millie's haircut all sorted as well!

Mind you, it's a bit mean of Millie not having a wee when the Groomer is carrying you, just think, you could get your own back and wee all down her coat!

Miss Snowflake used to do that to OTL if he didn't get her to the sea shore quick enough where she had her first wee!

We got Doggy scoff tonight so I don't know how OTL is going to get those Wormy Tablets down our throats!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

OTL is in a good mood!

Hi Woofers!

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

Now, it seems it's a 'Good News Day' today. Archie Babe has got his big Foxy Proof Fence, Auntie Sue has a cold wet nose and a waggly tail and Old Two Legs has stopped shouting at the computer!

Talking of foxes, it reminds me of many years ago when we used to visit Grandma and enjoy all the sniffs of South London!

Well, one day she rang OTL all worried 'cos a family of foxes had jumped the fence and were enjoying themselves in the sun shine. She wanted to phone the RSPCA to come and fetch them!

OTL explained that they were wild and the best thing she could do was to get a seat and watch them out of the window!

Unfortunately the foxes didn't like the idea of a little old lady watching them, so they didn't stay long!

OTL was rather disappointed 'cos he wanted to take some pictures of them but they had gone by the time we got to Grandma's house!

Today was very foggy down on the Sea Front, although there was a wind blowing the fog still hung about!

Mind you, we beat the sun again!

Another Foggy Morning!
We didn't hang about too long 'cos Eric was getting a wet tum from the dew on the grass. By the time we got home he had dried himself off on the blanket in his cage, plus the good wriggle he had in OTL's arms, that's always good for getting rid of water!

There's a box at home where The Missus keeps her pinnies and Wendy just loves to cuddle up under the pinnies all warm like.

Well, to day Eric and Miss May finally discovered it and decided to try it out for a snooze!


Yeah! Not bad!

Lunchtime it was back again but now the dew had gone, the sun came out and Holly found a super sniff to roll in!


Oh! It just don't get any better than this!
 It was still foggy  but the sun was out and there was the breeze as well!


Is that Sheerness?
Holly tried to get me in trouble again by suggesting we all go for a swim! Now even I'm not that daft, OTL was standing right behind me!


Come on, you can all go in for a swim while I watch!
Back home OTL was catching up on his paperwork and packing up some stuff to go to a customer.

I got all hungry and told OTL I was starving, so he put down my chicken which I must admit, tasted super!

OTL has stopped shouting at the computer, so, we reckon it is doing what it's been told to do!

Now, we don't get foxes in our garden but we do get cats wot we chase out but in our pond there are some very strange looking things that look seriously evil. OTL says they are baby Dragonflies. Babies? I won't fancy tangling with them if they get any bigger!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Tuesday, 9 October 2018

All clear from the Vet!

Hi Woofers!

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

We have been having fun watching the ferrets in their cages. The Corner Hammock is a favourite bed and they are always in and out!

Sometimes they sort of 'Don't make it' take young Eric, he went down to the bottom level, had a wee and rushed back but he fell asleep before he could climb in!

I really need a bit more speed!

It has been a super sunny day today, well after the mist had cleared this morning that is!

We were down the Sea Front early and the sun was still in bed!

..........and on top of that, there is a ship out there as well!
Old Two legs was trying to get a shot of the sun poking it's nose over the horizon but Eric decided to run most of the way back to the car, stopping for a quick wee!

OK, enough of the waiting for that sun, let's get back home!
Lunchtime we had an early wee 'cos I had an appointment with the Vet!

The tide was in and I was thinking about diving in for a quick swim but OTL was watching!

Do you reckon I could get in for a paddle?
It was on my last visit that the vet tested a sample of my wee and said she wanted another in a months time cos the wee wasn't what it should have been.

Well, back we came today with a sample bottle of my finest wee and after testing it was declared to be OK!

That's good and the worry about my kidney function was clear, so that's OK!

To celebrate, OTL purchased couple of Worming Tablets for Holly and I, well, it's that time of the year!

We reckon that Auntie Sue should get some worming tablets from her vet 'cos that will get rid of her sniffles!

Mind you, after we come in from our morning walk we are a little damp, even after a rub down, so, OTL wraps a blanket around Holly and me and we get all warm and snugly until we dry off!

So, keep the blanket wrapped around your shoulders and Auntie Sue will soon be back to normal, you know, wet nose and a waggly tail!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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