A Sleepy Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

We are soooooo sleeeepy today! We have been up, marching around the house doing our guarding and waking Old Two Legs up to report on what we have been doing!

He was so pleased he let us carry on while he stuck his head under the pillow and tried to go back to sleep!

So, off we went again and at the same time we were singing our 'Guarding Song'.

We got up a little late this morning!

It was still dark when we got down to the football field so OTL left his camera in the car!

Even Venus was hiding behind the clouds!

Back home we decided to have a snooze while OTL got on with some work. He was mumbling about being kept up half the night with us doing our job!

Lunchtime it was bright enough to get down the sea wall via the hill.

As we climbed up the hill we looked over to the church and the Christmas tree on top of the tower.

St James Church and tree!

The building to the left is the junior school. It got burnt down last year and is now almost rebuilt!

Once again Holly offered to race me up the hill but I had better things to do, like getting my nose into some good sniffs!

On your bike Holly Chops!

 Now getting our butt checked for Christmas isn't what would head our Santa Paws List!

I would have listed Beef Bones or Chicken Strips, rubber balls or even squeaky balls!

The Missus is getting her Christmas Prezzie early 'cos on Thursday she gets her second eye ball sorted. So that means she will be getting OTL to deposit drops into her eye over Christmas.

Mind you, OTL has got to wait until after Christmas before he gets his eye sorted!

Good news is that since we have been on a strict Doggy Scoff diet Holly's butt has improved and her Grumbly Tum has gone!

I can see that we are going to be on the scoff for a while until OTL is convinced that it is all cleared up.

Mind you, the thought of Doggy Scoff for Christmas Dinner is not on my list!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Star Gazing!

Hi Woofers!

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

Another busy day, the ferrets have been helping The Missus to clear out her 'Card Storage Room', well to be honest, they have been reinstalling the squeaky balls behind the boxes so that every time she shoves the box back on the shelf there is a big squeak which makes her jump 'cos she thinks a ferret is behind the box!

We were a little late getting out this morning and the sky was beginning to brighten up. We spotted Venus up in the sky and as the sky was getting lighter all the other stars were disappearing, but Venus was still shining bright in the sky!

Look! Right in the middle!

 OK, it was there but doesn't stand out much. So, Old Two Legs had a twiddle with the controls on the camera and zoomed in so that it looks like this!

OK, Just a little camera shake!

 You can see that the sun was creeping up in the sky but while we were waiting the sky started to glow. In the end we got fed up with waiting so off we went, back home!

Well, it looks pretty

 At lunchtime we headed off to the sea shore but this time we took the new way around the back of the fort. Of course the fort is on a hill and Holly suggested we race each other to the top. Well, I took one look and decided that I would be ahead of Holly in no time but I may be missing new sniffs on the way up!

So I didn't!

Come on, race you to the top!

 Just for a change, we dropped down onto the beach, the sniffs were there but full of sea stuff and the rubbish that flows down from the docks!

Well, it's a sniff but not as you would like it!

 I think that we will be kept off the beach and only go swimming when we got to Scotland.

If we are lucky enough, we plan to spend our Spring and Summer holidays back on the Mull of Kintyre again. Loads of sand beach and the water isn't deep so that means even Holly can go in for a paddle!

Do you realise that in six days the nights will be getting shorter and the days longer and summer will be on its way!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Christmas has come early for The Missus!

Hello Woofers,

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

Well, Old Two Legs managed to get all his 'Mending' done and what he can't do is being sent back to the manufacturers! Well, he can't do everything!

Mind you, he woke up on time this morning and we got a look at Venus twinkling away up in the sky!

Back home Miss May had trouble waking up, she is getting slower nowadays but there are times when she has a game of 'Chase' with Eric but takes longer to recover. Still, she is about six and a half!

Eric enjoyed ferreting about and he found a box of Ferret Treats!

Now yesterday The Missus was off to the Crop in the village all and had a great time wiv the girls stuffing themselves with Christmas food!

There was much swapping of Christmas Prezzies and TM got loads of chocs and stuff!

The ferrets even got a prezzie from Auntie Gill, a packet of Ferret Bits!

Hey Gang! Guess wot I found!

Trust Eric to find them first!

TM also got an apron but she wouldn't have her photo taken, just in case it makes her 

We tried to get TM to wear the apron so we could take a picture but she was too busy baking the Christmas Pud!

Mind you, she had been 'Tasting' the brandy, just to make sure it was the right stuff!

Does my Tail look big in this?

 Of course, we just had to include the Rosette's Eric and May won at the Harrietsham Ferret Show!

If it was a bit smaller I could wear it as a neck scarf!

Lunchtime we were out and OTL bumped into an amateur radio person trying to contact someone but stopped when OTL got close. Maybe he should have used a mobile phone instead!

Still, it didn't stop OTL having a chat with him while we said hello to the woofer with him.

So, back home to some Doggy Scoff while OTL and TM pigged out on Pate and stuff!

You know, sometimes it just doesn't seem fair!

 See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Saturday with OTL

Hi Woofers!

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

We have had a super Saturday, a Busy Doing Nothing type of day. Early this morning we were out in the dark. That's 'cos we are now back to normal again after the late mornings and early evenings!

This morning it was not only dark but there was a wind blowing from u the River Medway, so that means we didn't hang about too much, just a sniff and go!

The morning was spent under Old Two Legs desk watching him doing some repairs and reprogramming of radios for one of his customers. By the time lunchtime walk was here he had done most of it.

We left the ferrets at home on account it was getting colder and there was even some rain floating on the wind.

We took a new route to the sea shore today, up and around the old fort. In fact at one place we had to turn around and got back 'cos the path came to an end and we couldn't climb out. Well, Holly and I could have but OTL being an Old Duffer would never had made it!

Again, because of the wind and rain, we didn't hang about too long but at least we found some new sniffs on the new path, I think we will have to go down there again!

Back home OTL opened up a can of Doggy Scoff and while we were eating he went off with Wendy and Monty up the village hall where Rosie was waiting to say hello and have a cuddle.

Now that Wendy has her winter coat on she is extra soft and cuddly! Eric, on the other paw has not got his winter coat cos he isn't old enough. We reckon he will get a big winter coat next year!

Mind you, Eric did that and this year he is a Big Handsome Hob which is a good reason why he won his section at the Ferret Show!

Miss Wendy was a little sleepy but she enjoyed a super cuddle with Rosie and even managed to keep her claws out of Rosie's jumper!

So, back home to bed while OTL finished off what he could on the radios, there is one left to look at but he can do it tomorrow.

Hey! Holly has got away with nail trimming today, still there is always tomorrow!

We are glad to hear that the Plawn Clackers landed last night, even if you didn't get a look in!

Sometimes these TL's can be so cruel!

Mind you, it looks like you can get a sausage roll doll from Auntie Sue's mate, I wonder if they taste nice? Well' anything is better than Doggy Scoff!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Tricky OTL!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, that's another week almost over! Christmas is getting closer and it's getting colder!

We have been looking at the weather forecast and reckon we may even get some snow at some time!

Now, you know how sneaky Old Two Legs can be? Well, he has started again, Holly and I are not happy about being washes shaved and blow dried.

Another thing we don't like is having our claws clipped.

Hate it!

Hate it, Hate it, Hate IT!

So, OTL has been sneaky and every day, just as we have forgotten yesterdays drama, he lifts up one of our paws and SNIP!

A bit of claws goes across the room!

OK, it doesn't hurt but it's the shock of seeing a bit of your paws flying across the room!

Well, over a period of time he has managed to trim my claws, back and front.

Now he is working on Holly's claws and she don't like it a bit and shows off something rotten!

So far he has managed two claws, it's going to be fun when he gets to the dew claw!

Today has been busy, delivering stuff, collecting stuff and running around in circles!

Surprisingly, it has been rather mild. Walking along the sea front it was only the light wind that kept the temperature down but there is some cold heading our way this weekend, well, so the weather man says but down here in the south east we seem to get the best of the weather, so, claws crossed!

Right, we are off to see what's for dinner. As we are on a diet I suppose it will be Doggy Scoff. We haven't had any nibbles at all this week, it can be so hard sometimes!

See you tomorrow, if we survive!

Luv,

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

HMRC & EORI & VAT & BREXIT & Paraceltamol

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, we still haven't caught up with ourselves, Old Two Legs was half an hour late in getting up, so, we missed some of our normal woofers when we went down onto the sea front.

Mind you, we didn't see the sun come up but there was a sort of 'pre dawn glow' that lit the sky!

Neither one thing or the other!

 We spent the morning at home watching OTL doing some bush trimming in the back garden. It's a once a year job that he does and has the same discussion with The Missus, it goes something like:-

Wot you doing?

Trimming the bush.

Don't take too much off cos the flowers won't grow.

Yes they will.

No they won't.

Yes they will.

and I'm telling you they won't

Well, here is the scissors, you do it.

Harrumph!

Lunchtime went on a different path which took us to the top of the hill where the old fort is. There is almost nothing left of the fort and we don't go up there very often but today we just fancied a different path!

Well, it makes a change!

 Back home the post had been delivered and one was from the VAT Man at the HRMC. Mmmm! Though OTL, what is the VAT Man  want? Opening it up we read the instruction regarding BREXIT  plans for exporting to the EU if we don't get a deal!

What it said was that we need a EORI  number!


Now OTL has a VAT number 'cos he has got to have one and he has a number of customers across the pond and channel and so far there has never been any problems supplying stuff but now we are all getting ready for the possibility of the government getting a sensible 'Deal'!


Well, OTL spent an hour getting this extra number from the HMRC web site and finally everything fell into place!


However, he still needed some Paracetamol 'cos his brain hurt by the time he had finished!

Holly and I am glad we are woofers, we don't need  a EORI  number!

Now that is finished we are wondering what will be the next thing will come down from the HMRC!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Eric de Spider?

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, as we said yesterday, a little thing that goes wrong has a habit of ganging up on you and it is still with us 'cos this morning Old Two Legs was woken up by something at four this morning then went back to sleep and woke up an hour later than normal!

Being an hour late, we almost missed the sunrise! It was a quick run along the path until we got to the right spot before clicking off several shots of which this was about the best!

We almost missed it!

 Mind you, once the sun was up the temperature did rise a little and warmed our tails up a bit!

Ooh! That's better!

 Just for a change, we spotted a Wormy Man out on the mud flats digging for all he was worth.

There has just got to be more worms here!

 Back home Holly and I headed for our bed while Eric and May were out for their rampage.

As normal, May headed for the Lactose Free Milk  and Brambles Biscuits in the kitchen.

Eric on the other paw decided he would inspect the rubbish bin in OTL's room.

First you check for sniffs.

Yes, there are some new sniffs in there!

 It doesn't take him long 'cos he can sink his claws into the plastic bin liner and........

Up we go!

 Of course, he was straight in with no trouble at all!

Yes, Yes, Yes!

Then there is the sound of a ferret hitting the rubbish and scrabbling to find the sniff!

'er! Can someone get me out now?

OTL says that one day the Bin men will take him away!

This afternoon OTL has to take The Missus off to the TL Vets to get her eye checked for Cattle Racks and stuff. I know she has another eye to be Cattle Racked and was hoping to have it all done before Christmas but we reckon that it will be next year, unless they have a cancellation!

Claws crossed!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

A bit of a mix up today!

Hi Woofers!

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

It is amazing how one little thing can change something that in turn alters something else that completely mucks up everything!

Now, take today for instance.

It all started off the day before yesterday when Holly found a sniff that had a tasty something that needed a lick to complete the whole package.

Holly, being quite proud of that was telling me how she found it and I didn't.

Looking back, I'm glad I missed it 'cos yesterday Holly got the Grumbly Tum and the Sore Butt!

Last night, around 02:45hr she was in need of a wander around the garden, so, being Holly, she opened her mouth and woofed!

Old Two Legs was the first up and almost fell down the stairs as he headed towards the back door to let Holly out. Well, after a bit in the garden she came back in and got her butt washed and dried then it was off to bed. This little excursion took about a half an hour from start to finish.

That means it was a whole hour before OTL rolled out of bed and banged his head on the bedroom door 'cos OTL didn't switch the light on!

So, after a shower and a teeth clean we were dragged from under our sleeping blankets and off we went for our walk, leaving the ferrets behind 'cos they had gone back to bed and were refusing to wake up!

Being that late also means that we saw the sky brightening and for the first time in an age, we saw the sun rise!

The Sun is just getting out of bed!

After a little bit we saw.................

Good Morning Mr Sun!

Then, a short while later, there he was all up and washed and teeth cleaned and ready for the day!

Good Morning to another bright sun shinny day!

 Mind you, it looked a bit odd, I mean, just how often do you see two suns? Sort of reminds me of that film that starts off......A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..............

'er where is Luke Skywalker?

Back home we all had a snooze while the ferrets played and OTL even managed to clip my claws on my left paw!

That means he has done my left and right paw including the Dew Claws!

I was terribly brave, especially as Holly was woofing her tail off 'cos I was getting all the attention!

Mind you, as soon as OTL put her up on the bench and got his clippers out to do hers she was off like a rocket!

She's a wimp really!

Lunchtime we left the ferrets asleep and headed off looking for sniffs, mind you, Holly's tum is still grumbly so it is 'sniffing only' today!

Remember, no licking, sniffin' only!

OTL kept an eye on Holly but she still managed to get a quick roll in a sniff!

By the time we had finished Holly said she felt a little better and was looking forward to a quiet night!

I'll let you know what happens!

Bye for now.

Luv,

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

Oh No! It's us to the Vets!

Hello Woofers!

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

This morning we saw Venus again 'cos the clouds were patchy. You know it's funny but if you stand still and look at Venus it seems to 'wobble' in the sky, but it never seems to move!

Mind you, Old Two Legs thinks it's funny to see us standing there looking up at the sky!

Lunchtime we took Eric out with us for a rampage but again he decided that sitting in the ferret bag on OTL's hand was the best place to be!

OTL tried him a couple of times but he just sat there with look on his face that said...........

You don't really expect me to walk?

 We think that Eric is not a winter ferret, even with a a super soft and fluffy coat, he would still rather spend his outing tucked up in a nice warm bag!

You just don't know how damp this grass is!

 It was interesting to see the way the clouds crept in and soon made it cold!

It even LOOKS cold!

 A bit later after we had got back home, OTL got a message on his phone that our prescriptions were ready for collection. Now, every time we have been to collect our prescription, the vet normally gives us the 'Once Over' but this time we managed to get away without the 'inspection', however...........

OTL decides to take us in and get weighed 'cos we hadn't been weighed since July this year.

Well, I was just 7.5kg, just a little up on the 7.3kg I was back in July. OTL said that I would 'get away with it' so, off I got from the electronic weighing machine to let Holly get on.

Now, back in July Holly was a whopping great 10.2kg but today she almost broke the machine 'cos she weighed 11.3kg!

11.3kg! I think that Holly is going to start a diet tomorrow, no treats, no big teeth cleaning chews, no nibbles from the table. Holly Chops is going to be a very unhappy puppy but she has just got to loose a few kilos.

OTL has said that after I had finished with my food he will have to pick it up 'cos Holly just loves to help me finish it off!

The only problem will be, she just loves her food as much as Archie Babe and will always be on the hunt for nibbles. That will mean that OTL will have to keep a careful eye on Holly when we are out cos she might find something to eat, even if it's rabbit poo!

I'll let you know what happens!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Guess Wot we did today?

Hello Woofers!

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

We love Sunday, it's one of the days in the week that we can sort of.........

Snooze!

Or, we can do what Holly does best...........

Snore!

 If you could find a ferret it may surprise you to find them..........

Having a cuddle and a Snooze!

 It is just the best thing, a snooze. You sort of drift off and dream about all the things that make you happy, like food and games and chasing cats.

Then along comes Old Two Legs, waving our harness and lead and squeaking 'Walkies!'.

There are times I wish he would have a snooze!

Today we went out at lunch time with Monty and Wendy, Monty was all up for a run 'cos he hadn't been out for a week or so and as he said, he was getting a bit 'Cage Crazy'!

Wendy said it was good to get a sniff of fresh air!

To begin with they both hid in the bag but soon Monty was sticking his nose out and sniffing the air!

OK, OTL, I'll get out here if that's OK with you?

 The wind was blowing, reducing the air temperature but it wasn't too bad and the clouds looked pretty!

Remember when it was Summer and all hot?

 Miss Wendy was a bit slow to start but she got going and chased Holly all the way back to the football field!

........99....100....coming, ready or not!

 Monty was more interested in sharing our sniffs but he found some Weasel sniffs and wanted to go off in a different direction!

It's there, I can sniff it, I really can sniff it!

Back home it was all back to the bed for a well earned snooze before dinner. Best of all it's chicken today and we may even get it a bit earlier than normal!

Tomorrow is Monday so that means back to work guarding the house. Holly and I still do our duty at night, marching around the house with our tails up straight and singing our 'Guarding Song'. It's normally around half way around the house that OTL wakes up and suggests what we should be doing is creeping around, quietly, just like the SAS! (That's Special Animal Service!)

Maybe that's why we are always in need of more snoozes than OTL?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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