Cattle Racks, Eye Balls and Plawn Clackers!

Hi Woofers!

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

Sorry about yesterdays report but we had a very busy day. It started well, well we were up early and that's OK 'cos we caught the sun rise. Not the most dramatic shot but better than nothing.

Sheerness in the morning!
 Another thing we saw was a Kestrel looking for some lunch but we didn't see him pick anything up.


Looking for lunch!
 When we got back from our walk, we were packed off to our Day Bed while The Missus and Old Two Legs set off for the hospital!

Hospital? Wot's going on?

Well, I was straight up and on the computer and the calendar!

It was then I saw the note......'TM to Hospital for Eye Ball Op'

That was it, off to get her Cattle Racks sorted!

OTL dropped her off at the hospital and then headed off to the Car Menders. It seems that one of the Dipped Beam lights had given up working, not good especially when it's dark in the morning and in the evening!

He could have done it himself but firstly he didn't have a bulb and secondly he couldn't get his big paw in the hole to  change the bulb!

So, he gets down the menders who ask him to go to the spares department and purchase a bulb and hand the bulb to the Service Department who will arrange to change the faulty bulb!

I know, I would have thought that Service Department would have had bulbs in stock but who am I to criticise, I'm only a woofer!

Well, he gets it changed and they charged him for the bulb but the fitting was free!

After that he got back to the hospital expecting to see TM slurping Coffee and Biscuits and with a patch over her eye.

When he went into the Reception there was no TM so he settles down in a comfortable chair, close to the warm air heating and set about reading his book. About three hours later TM was on the phone asking where he was 'cos she was all done and ready for home.

That was it, the Cattle Rack in one eye was gone and a new bit shoved in. It was funny looking at her 'cos she had an indelible ink 'Arrow' drawn on her forehead pointing to the eye that was to be worked on, High Tech Stuff!

Because it was late they decided to get a Chinese Takeaway on the way home!

Plawn Clackers, King Plawns, Chicken Strips!

Yeah!

We couldn't give TM a big Licky Kiss when she got back so instead we helped her eat the Chinese!

This morning we all woke up late and we were a whole hour late getting out. This means we met up with all the 'Late Woofers', most of who we know but that means poor Eric had to be picked up to stop becoming a woofers breakfast!

The wind had dropped but it was rather foggy out to sea.

I think I prefer it when they have all gone, I mean, how does a girl get a private sniff!
Today, TM has decided that she is going to have a 'Quiet Day' which means she is going to sit on the sofa and watch TV and all her crafting DVD's!

Lunchtime we were out again with Monty and Wendy down on the Sea Front but before we go OTL has to wake the ferrets, they do like their snooze!

Miss Wendy is the worse for this, she can fall asleep as quickly as a sniff!

Waking her up is another matter!

Jus' five minutes more?
Once they they got to the place where they normally get out of the ferret bag they had just woken up!

However, waking up and getting moving is another thing!

Monty is quicker at getting going and while waiting for Wendy to catch up.

No, it's a Woofer Sniff, the ferret sniffs are further up the path!
When we got back to the football field there were signs that the moles had been digging again. Monty decided to have a poke in the latest pile of mole diggings.

He could sniff mole but there was no sign of the little devil!

Come on, out you come or I'll get the woofers to dig you out!
TM's eye ball is still sore but the drops OTL is dripping into her eye is slowly making it better although the drops should last at least a month!

We are getting excited about the Harrietsham Ferret Show and all of the ferrets  get an 'Inspection' every morning, ears, claws and butt!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's a YUK Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, today the Winter has started, howling gale coming in off the North Sea, horizontal rain and Holly was first back to the car!

We didn't take Eric out this morning 'cos when we looked out of the window it was raining, in fact Holly and I were discussing if we should make do with a wee in garden!

Old Two Legs called up the Rain Radar program and spotted a 'Window' in the wet, so off we went!

You know, that OTL can be quite clever sometimes and this time we were wiping the windscreen on the way there but it stopped as we got out of the car.

We did our business and just as we were pulling out of the car park, it started to rain again!

Skill or luck?

Lunchtime it was the same, no ferrets and another 'Window' in the rain!

Us woofers got left behind as OTL and The Missus went out for couple of hours and left the Woofer Brigade to guard the house!

We made sure that all the Nargles, Nifflers and Dodgy Dealers were kept away and we also woofed at anyone who walked past the front of the house!

Tonight OTL has been promised some Bacon and Mushroom Rolls! Now, do we love bacon and mushroom? I mean, has a woofer got a nose!

We shall be there to help OTL sort out the tasty bits!

The ferrets have had another ear cleaning session and Miss May is now looking dead smart.

Eric's coat is super soft and fluffy and Monty is settling down to looking smooth all over!

Miss Wendy has clean ears but we do have to watch her back side and I can see OTL taking the Baby Wipes to give her a polish before the judging takes place!

Everyone has nice clean teeth except Miss Wendy who has a brown tooth, not that it worries her 'cos she has had it ever since she arrived here.

Claws are all trimmed and rounded off, so, all we need now is for the judges to do the right thing!

We're off now to inspect the bacon!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

It's here, Horizontal Rain!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it looks like winter time is beginning, we could tell that by the wind and rain that has arrived today!

We were out at our normal time this morning and the wind was blowing in off the sea, so that means it is an easterly wind. Eric was dug out of his nice warm ferret bag and placed on the ground so he cold have a run.

He ran.

Straight up Old Two Legs leg and into the ferret bag!

Holly and I got involved with a sniff and didn't realise the wind was coming around the bushes and just a couple of steps took us from 'Not too Bad' to 'Woofin Heck that's Chilly!'

Even though it was dark, we decided not to hang about and were quick to head back to the car.

Holly was the first to go and we both got back to the car before OTL had crossed the field!


That's, I'm off back to the car!
It was good to get back and we were soon wrapped up in a blanket and snoozing!

Now, OTL has been preparing the ferrets getting them ready for this weekends Ferret Show.

Just in case you have forgotten, it is being run by the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

There will be a super raffle and 'Ferret Fun' contests, also there is 'The Best Decorated Cage' and the Fluffiest Ferret and, well just loads of fun!

Best of all, there is no entrance charge and you will be able to buy more raffle tickets with the money you have saved by not paying an entrance fee!

So, this Saturday we will be all done up in our finest bib and tucker to look our best.

OTL has been trimming the ferrets claws and has been checking the ferrets ears for any sign of wax. The judges just love clean ears!

Miss Wendy has a habit of sometimes dipping her tail in her poo so has to get a 'Bum Wipe' before going for judging!

It will be Eric and Monty's first Ferret Show and they may also meet up with some old mates from their time at the Ferret Rescue!

Lunchtime came and off we went with both Wendy and Monty this time. It was the same as this morning, stop for a sniff and then take two steps back and.......

Hey! The wind is over here!
Monty and Wendy were dug out of the bag for a run but as soon as they caught the wind, it was straight up OTL's leg and back in the bag!

So much for the exercise!

When we got to the top of the hill we could see the rain heading our way, so, that was it, the quickest wee we had done today and back to the car.
 
Here comes the horizontal rain!
By the time we had got back to the car the rain was cleaning the car while Holly and I hid around the other side of the car to the wind!

Back home and into our beds under OTL's desk!

If we are lucky, we should be getting chicken tonight!

Claws crossed!

I think I'll head down and see what's cooking!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Revenge!

Hi Woofers!

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

We love Sundays, take today, we got up a whole hours later than normal!

The sun was up and in the sky with just a little 'after glow' on the horizon. 

OK, so we are late, but it's Sunday!
Eric came out but because it was rather a cold wind from the east, he stayed in the ferret bag until we got back to the football field and only then did he get down for a little run!

Lunchtime it was still windy but not so cold. Wendy and Monty came out and Wendy even got a cuddle from a little Two Legs who knew they were ferrets!

The wind had swung around so it was coming in off the sea, so that chills the air but when we got out of the wind it was rather nice.

The tide was on the turn and was heading back out again.

Bye bye sea!
 Now, you know Old Two Legs has promised to let us help him have a hair cut and trim his beard?

Well, he has and this afternoon we sat on his desk, next to him, and told him which bit to cut off!

We started off  by getting him to shave a strip from front to back so he looks like a Mohican in reverse!

Next we got him to chop off the sides down to the bottom of his ears!

Sort of half Mutton Chops!
 One sneaky thing he did was to keep the setting the same so we couldn't get him to be really bald in places!

So, in the end we managed to get it back to looking at least half way sensible!

That's better, all back together again!
We are expecting The Missus to come back tonight, not sure what time but when ever it is OTL has got to fetch her from The Cat Woman's house.

We are off to see what OTL has dished up today, I think it may be Doggy Scoff but we are hungry enough to eat it!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Bald as a Babies Bum!


Hello Woofers!

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

Well, it didn't rain today!

However, we still got wet! I'll tell you about that in a mo!

We beat the sun this morning and only managed a little bit of sun, not enough to get excited about!

Well, it's there but sort of hiding!
 Eric enjoyed the walk especially as the grass had been cut and he could dive into it and do a 'Ferret'!

Come on girls, look on the bright side, Nargles can't hid in the cut grass!
 On the way back a big fat pigeon took off from the bushes when it heard Holly and I talking as we passed his perch. Now, the noise the pigeon made smacking it's wings together scared the tail off Eric and he sort of stood still waiting to see what would happen next! The big wimp wouldn't move until Old Two Legs picked him up for a cuddle!

I don't care, I'm not moving until I know the way is clear!
 We got back without too much bother and after the cages were all cleaned OTL got out all the hair cutting and doggy washing stuff. Holly was first, she got washed, sploshed and blasted dry with that blasted reverse vacuum cleaner. Next she got shaved to within a millimetre of her skin. As normal, she wouldn't let OTL near her claws for trimming but I suppose he will catch her in a good mood and go snippy snip!

Our lunchtime walk was fun. Holly stood up to a couple of big Rottweilers and told them to 'Woof Off' then she said that she looked slimmer than me just 'cos she had been shaved!

You'll never look smaller than me, your butt gives you away!
This afternoon I got the treatment and now I'm as bald as a babies bum and OTL managed to trim my front claws, I suppose tomorrow it will be my back claws!

The Missus is having a good time on her 'Retreat' loads of booze and nibbles!

Sounds like us!

I'm off to see if the chicken is done yet, see you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Oh Wot a Damp Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

I must admit, today has not been one of my favourite days, I mean, it has been damp, cloudy and grey looking all day!

Couple that with the fact that The Missus left us a bowl of Doggy Scoff instead of our chicken!

Today is Chicken Day and wot do we get? Scoff!!

We have decided that we are not going to give TM cuddles any more and the ferrets are joining us by withdrawing cuddles as well!

Old Two Legs has promised us some chicken tomorrow and we can have it all warm and greasy as well!

Just how we like it!

Eric came out with us this morning but it was not his sort of weather and he kept jumping up OTL's leg to get a cuddle and a lift!

I will admit, if he wasn't cuddling Eric I might have tried to blag a lift as well!

Lunchtime we didn't even ask Wendy and Monty if they wanted to come out 'cos they were tucked up in their sleeping quarters with a sign hanging over the door..........NO THANKS!

Where they have cut the grass along the sea front, there is loads of weed leaves with little spikes on that get tangled up in our hair and it takes OTL ages to get rid of it all. Maybe a hair cut is the answer!

On the way back to the car OTL stopped by the beach to let Holly and I have a race on the sand playing 'Chase The Woofer'!

Of course it was Holly who chased me and I am much faster than Holly, so I kept wining!

Still it was a good game and we haven't been on the beach for some time 'cos Holly gets an infection in her eyes cos she likes to plough the beach with her nose and of course the sand then gets in her eyes and it's off to the vet to spend a fortune, well, OTL's fortune!

This weekend should be fun, no TM, so, paws up on the sofa, crumbs from the nibbles all over the place. Plus we can watch whatever we want on the TV!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

As bald as OTL's bonce!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a change from yesterday, we went out this morning expecting a glorious sunrise and what did we get?

It must be up by now!
 Nuffin! Not even a glimmer! I mean, we sat there on the Sea Wall while Eric was waking up but we were disappointed, it was nothing but clouds!

OK, I'm awake now, anyone see the sun come up?
 We headed home to a chew treat and a snooze while Old Two Legs set about shredding more of his fliles that he keeps in the filing cabinet. He says the stuff is old and not needed any more.

Well, if it keeps him happy!

We got a shock when we went back out at lunchtime, the grass had gone!

It's them, they've done it!
 Well, maybe not gone but all chopped down! Now we know that the two legs like the grassy look but what about all the wild life If they keep cutting the grass there will be no where for mouses or shrews or weasels and even the rabbits will have to find somewhere else to hide. That will mean the Kestrel will go hungry 'cos there will be no food for them to eat!

All the butterflies and moths will have nowhere to play and insects like bees will have no flowers to visit!

Of course, Monty and Wendy thought it great fun to dive into the grass hunting Nargles and Nifflers but they must have been scared off by the grass cutting tractor thingy!

Bet you can't see me!
 Of course, I was rather put out 'cos I love the grass 'cos I go in there when I want a poo. You see I don't want anyone watching me and now they have cut the grass, where do I go?


Look, if she wants a poo we both turn away, OK?
 I thought it funny when Holly Dog said that it looks just like OTL's head, you know, bald!

I said we should be careful 'cos he has the clippers out and we won't have The Missus to protect us this weekend 'cos she is off to a 'Retreat' to slap the glue!

It won't be too long before the Harrietsham Ferret Show on 24th November! OTL says that he has high hopes of Monty and Eric doing well in the contest. Maybe they will even get a rosette like wot Mr Brambles or Snowflake did.

The ferrets have all had their claws trimmed and they have had the first of the 'Ear Wipes' to clear out all the ear wax that might have got stuck in their ear lobes. OTL will take a soft brush that will be used to give their coats a nice shine!

I suppose that OTL will practise on us this weekend!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Lets give OTL a shave?

Hello Woofers!

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

After the last few days of really dismal sunrises, to day we got one that just lit up the clouds and sky!

Now, that's better!
The good thing about getting down the beach at the right time is it starts off cold and windy but as the sun comes up, it gets warmer!

Yeah, I can feel it, it really warms yer butt don't it!
 Eric was more interested in chasing something in the grass so he didn't take too much notice of the sun coming up!

Lunchtime, we were off again and it was rather warm, the sun was out, the breeze was gentle and the ferrets were snoozy!

We met up with a Two Legs who came out with the normal rubbish about ferrets, you know, 'My Uncle used to keep ferrets' ..........Good for uncle..........'Vicious things they are'..............no they are not............'They smell'.....so do you........'They bite'.........everyone does when they are eating.........'are they Polecats?..........no, they're Polecat Ferrets.........'I saw an albino ferret once'.........yes, it's proper name is an English Ferret.........and so on and on and on!

Holly said we should bite him and that will sort him out!

Yes, I'm a mean nasty monster of a ferret.........now, can I have a cuddle?
Once we were back in the car we headed off to the carrier to drop off a box of bits for a customer then back home.

I got onto Holly's bed in OTL's office and just as I was dropping off to sleep Monty came down to his Pooing Place and did a huge Super Smelly poo, just by the side of my nose!

I reckon that TL was right about ferrets sniffing!

I gave him a good woofing but OTL stopped me and Monty just carried on pooing!

Something I noticed while waiting for the ferret sniff to dissipate, OTL is charging up both of the batteries in the hair clipper! That's a bad sign, mind you, he is getting a little ragged around his chops and both Holly and I reckon he should have a hair cut first!

Eric said he would help OTL by holding OTL's nose while Holly waved the hair cutter under his chin!

Now, that would be fun!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Monty is chancing his luck!

Hi Woofers!

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

When we looked out of the bedroom window first thing this morning we saw the Orion star cluster shining in the sky.

However, when we finally got out for our walk it had gone! I mean, we were so looking forward to hearing from Old Two Legs the story behind the cluster but the clouds just covered the sky and that was it, gone!

Maybe tomorrow we can get up a bit earlier and get a chance of seeing it then!

The Missus and The Cat Woman are going away to a 'Retreat' this coming weekend, a whole weekend of glue sloshing and throwing glitter about!

Holly and I think that OTL will get the hair cutting gear out and when TM comes back, we will be bald!

We had some fun at lunchtime, Monty was playing games by creeping up behind us and pretending to be Eric and saying he was going to bite our tail.

Holly came up with a way to stop him.

Any closer and I'll wee in your ear!
When he tried it on me, I just asked him if he wanted a Wee Wash!

Don't push your luck Monty Chops, you could get wet!
Needless to say, we didn't wee on him but he did get close to getting a wash!

OTL has spent the afternoon clearing out him 'Home Filing' by shredding all the old invoices and stuff like that. Poor shredding machine was almost red hot by the time he had finished!

We got chicken tonight so we are off!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Dark Days!

Hi Woofers!

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


It's been a bit of a dismal day today, rain showers all day!


This morning it was so damp and chilly that Eric crawled back into bed and went back to sleep!


Mind you, had it not been for the fact I wanted a wee I would have gone back to bed!


Down on the sea front Old Two Legs took a picture of the River Medway and Sheerness but he had to put the camera down on the concrete to stop camera shake!


Can you see anything yet?       I can't even see you!
On our way back to the car we spotted a couple of woofers with collars that lit up! I suppose they just wanted to be seen in the dark!

Well, I suppose Christmas is on the way!
 We had Dave The Caravan Man around to do some repairs to the lights at the back of the caravan where Old Two Legs managed to run into the wall at the Gretna Green camp site earlier this year!

So now we two brand new rear lights!

Lunchtime came and just before we left home, it started to rain! That was it, Monty and Wendy went back to bed and refused to come out!

Mind you, May and Eric managed to get a slurp of Ferretone as compensation for not going out earlier!

I can just get my tongue into the hole where it comes out!
Miss May loves Ferretone and when OTL needs to clean her ears or clip her claws she lays on her back with the bottle of Ferretone across her tummy and licks the Ferretone out of the cap while OTL holds her paw up in the air and clips the claws!

I had my ears cleaned yesterday so I get the cap full without the cuddles!
This afternoon OTL and The Missus headed off to do some shopping so Holly and I headed off to the bedroom window where we waited until they came back!


It's always fun when the get back 'cos Holly and I go potty, jumping all over the sofa and up and down the stairs and back over the sofa again!


Great fun!


Doggy Scoff again today, still OTL has some gammon, so if we are lucky we can help him by making sure it tastes right!


See you tomorrow!


Luv,


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