Guarding is such a hard job!

Hi Woofers!

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

You know, we just can't get any more woofers 'cos we are running out of space !

It's been one of those days when Old Two Legs has left us to guard Godwin Towers all on our own. It's no good asking The Missus to help 'cos all she is doing is craft stuff and watching TV to see if they use her cards on the crafty channels!

Boring or wot?

Today it has been wet and windy and windy and wet!

We did manage to get May and Eric out at lunchtime but even May had to get back into the ferret bag a couple of times on the walk around the estate!

OTL has been busy manufacturing and he had to go out and leave us all alone!

Holly and I sat at the window watching and making sure no one tried to get in. Then we found out that the water pressure was right down, seems there was a leak in the pipes just outside the village and as well as loads of water, there was also loads of stones and soil and muddy water cascading down into the village!

It was late afternoon by the time OTL got back and it was straight in and back to manufacturing again, totally ignoring us woofers!

So, that was it, we had nothing to do but stretch out on our beds and watch him work.

It's a hard life!

We are off now to see what we can mug tonight, I mean, all this guarding makes a woofer hungry!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

We name you.........................!

Hi Woofers!

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

Seems we have started a ruckus asking for a name for our new team member!

We can't call him after a whisky or Old Two Legs will be trying to drink him!

Cuddles is good but being a rufty tufty ferret, being called cuddles might just get you bullied!

Now, we had an entry from Fi or should that be Fee who for some reason hasn't worked out how to leave a comment on the blog. Auntie Fie, Fi, or Fee suggested Pickles!

Now, we think Pickles is good 'cos it has a hint of trouble mixed with a dash naughtiness!

We asked him if he minded being called Pickles and he said it was a good name for a ferret to have!

So, Hello Pickles!

We were up at the normal time this morning and the sun was up just a tad earlier! OTL took his camera with him and ran off some shots of the sun creeping over the horizon!

This one is the bench next to the tree he likes!

You can sit here and watch the sun come up!
 Walking a bit further on he got this one which you can see the the sun has just got over the horizon!


A couple of minutes later the sun blasted across the sea and it got too strong to look at!
It was at lunchtime we set off and today Eric and May came with us. Eric was being a little lazy but Miss May was in her element, sniffing the sniffs and rolling in the freshly cut grass!

Miss May loves going out and even if she has Insulinoma she is making the best of what time she can spend in the fresh air!

Because the ferrets were with us, OTL didn't take the camera in the afternoon. We met a few woofers, so OTL took the camera phone but still didn't take any more pictures.

OTL has been busy all afternoon, more manufacturing and working!

Today it is Doggy Scoff and we leave it alone until we have exhausted all options of pinching food from OTL!

See you tomorrow and Pickles says Thanks for The Name!

Luv,

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

Four Flogs Again!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, wot a mess you made of the tiddly task we set you yesterday!

I think we will have to make the task a bit easier!

Yesterday when The Missus got back from her glue slapping she showed us a ferret that Auntie Mandy had made, just for us!

We have put it on the shelf where Old Two Legs keeps his whisky, so that is a very safe place!

Thank You Auntie Mandy!
OK, seeing as you all made a right mess of the task yesterday, here is your new task.

Today you must find a special new name for the latest addition to our gang!

So, no rude names this time and yes, his nose and inside his ears are really pink!

Off you go!

We didn't see any storm today although it did rain last night but to be honest, it didn't wake us up!

No sunrise today!
When we go walking at lunchtime OTL let's us decide which way we can go around the trees and grass areas.

It's good fun going to all the new places for new sniffs!

Hey! Here is a ferret sniff from the last time we were here!
 Today it was the turn of Wendy and Monty to come out with us and both had great fun sniffing their way around the walk. When we got back it took just two minutes to get them back into the cage and were fast asleep almost as soon as their tails hit the bed!

Talking of beds, Miss May was out this morning rampaging around the house, as normal, and OTL was busy getting the stuffing back into our Woofer Bed that normally is kept in the back of the car.

Today it had just got out of the washing machine and was dried off in the airing cupboard.

Miss May decided that today, instead of falling asleep under the sofa she headed for the bed and, well, she fell asleep!

Trouble is, it sniffs of ferret!
Eric tried to get in for a cuddle as well but Miss May decided she wanted the whole bed to herself!

Maybe tomorrow Eric can have a snooze in the bed, if he's a good boy!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

She is on her way back!

Hello Woofers!

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

We hear that a storm is on it's way towards us, Holly says it's called Freer  or Friar or Fish & Chip Shop or summat like that!

There was some rain in the wind first thing this morning so, just for a change we headed off into the bushes and up the hill.

It's amazing just how much blossom there was on the tree!

Just look at that now!
 Mind you, when we got to the top and looked back there was even more blossom on the trees!
Look, it's sprouting up everywhere!
 We got to the open ground and I spotted the first bunch of Daffy Dills, Holly says that in a few days there should be loads more to see.

This is the first bunch of Daffy Dills we have seen this year!
Lunchtime Eric and May came out for a walk but the wind was getting up so they both took turns in climbing back into the bag for a rest!

Miss May was the one enjoying it most and even spent some time rolling in the grass looking for sniffs!
There's nothing like a roll in the grass!
Reading yesterdays mail we think that Sarn has got a good idea!

So, here we go and the first one to mention poo looses!

Four Flogs in a Fountain,
The first Flog did a Moo, just like a coo.


OK, who's next?

We are off to wait for The Missus to get back, Old Two Legs has just gone to pick her up from the Cat Woman's house.

A whole weekend and we bet she only did one card!

Too much gassing!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Four Flogs in a Fountain!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, I must admit, last night was just great. I mean, normally we are fighting for a square foot of bed space! However, last night there was loads of space and we were all flat on our backs with our paws in the air!

You know, it was so comfortable that we over slept by a whole half an hour!

Because we got up late, the sunrise had come and gone so Old Two Legs only took the phone camera out with him!

Not much of a sunrise!
Back home the ferrets were up and rattling on the cage door desperate to get out for a run!

Eric and Miss May haven't been out for a while so when lunchtime came OTL agreed they could come out with us and Miss May was so excited about the opportunity of having a dig in the mile hills!

Come on out and I'll bite your tail!
You know that Miss May can be a right terror when she gets going!

Eric decided he would stay in the ferret bag until we got back to the football field, it was then that he jumped down and ran almost all the way across to field!

Back home OTL was looking at the pond, studying the surface for bubbles or strange looking lumps, then, he saw them!

Four Flogs!

....and you can see the Flog Splawn next to number three Flog!
It was young Monty who wanted to go out and say hello to the flogs but OTL said that he may run away and get lost!

Do flogs taste nice?
OTL managed to get almost all of his work done and we plan to get some chicken tonight and OTL says he is not going to bother with a Kebab, he'll have a Cottage Pie instead.

I didn't know you could eat a cottage!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Friday, 1 March 2019

She has gone and left us!

Hello Woofers!

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

It's Friday again!

Dull old day down here, all misty first thing, no sign of the sun at all so we didn't bother with the camera!

Old Two Legs has been busy 'Manufacturing' after cleaning the cages and playing games with the ferrets!

He disappeared into the garden shed and did the measuring and cutting and chopping! After that there was the soldering and crimping and clipping!

After that was all done he headed back to the house but stopped and peered into the pond and saw...............Flog Splawn!

Loads of Flog Splawn, mountains of Flog Splawn!

Now The Missus has been saying that she has been hearing the splosh of a flog diving into the pond first thing in the morning!

So we are now looking forward to seeing baby flogs in the pond!

Early afternoon OTL took TM off to the Cat Woman's place 'cos they are planning to head off for the weekend of glue slapping.

Now, that means we get a super weekend of snoozing on the sofa and eating nibbles on the sofa and just laying on the sofa with our paws up!

Better still, we can watch Game of Thrones without TM telling OTL to 'Turn it Off cos it's too violent!

As if!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A bit of a drab morning!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, here it is, the end of February and although the temperature has gone down a bit we still haven't seen any snow drifts or floods or howling gales!

Loads of frost and misty mornings  but not the hard frost Old Two Legs tells us he knew when he was a little puppy!

This morning it was a bit dull, no super sunrise, more of a grey excuse of a morning!

We spotted a Two Legs standing by the water waiting for the sun to come up but as Old Two Legs said, 'Wot she needs is a Big Lens'!

Is that it?
 OTL whips out his big camera and with his big lens extended to its maximum proved that a big lens works!

300mm at 5.4f
 That's how yer do it!

Just to show the difference!


Might as well go back to bed!
 We met up with a TL who had lost his woofer. We know the woofer cos he thinks that OTL is wonderful!

We just call him a Bozo cos he is it a bit unruly and is likely to start a fight!

We kept our eyes open, just in case!

Lunchtime we left the ferrets in their cages, snoring their paws off and headed down to the sea shore again.

It was good to see the Hawthorn blooms bursting into life.

A good sign of spring!
What was better was spotting a whole tree covered in blossom!

Pretty soon it will be blooms everywhere!
As we headed over the hill there was loads of smoke coming from the hole in the ground!

Holly and I were a bit worried cos this smoke got right up your nose and made my ears pop when I sneezed!

You don't see this very often!
 Holly suggested that OTL should phone the fire brigade to report the fire but before OTL could get his phone out we spotted the sign!

As Holly said, '....it don't look very controlled to me!'
We didn't hang about, the smoke was horrid and on top of that, The Missus was cooking chicken back at home!

So, that's it for us today, TM is away this weekend for a bit of glue slapping somewhere up north!

OTL says that he will be able to get a bit more room in the bed!

We'll see about that!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Miss May has been out on a gallop today!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wasn't it cold this morning? We got up at our normal time and got down to the sea shore just as the sun was creeping up over the horizon.

One of the good things about catching the sun so early is that you could see sun spots, if there were any to see!

It looks quite tasty!
 It is amazing just how things change over a few minutes!

.....and now it's warming up the sea!
 The last bit of sunshine crept over the hill just before the sunrise disappeared and the frost was plain to see!

The last bit of the sunrise!
 We headed back home to enjoy our morning snooze while the ferrets enjoyed a rampage around the house!

Don't sit down on the frost 'cos it'll freeze your butt!
By the time lunchtime arrived the sun was up and the frost had gone. Miss May said she fancied a run so both Eric and may climbed into the ferret travel cage!

Eric was a little lazy and tried to spend time in the bag watching the world go by.

Miss May was so pleased to be out that she spent almost all the time on the ground rolling on the grass and at one point she was in a mole hole having a great time digging the soil out of the hole!

I just love a roll in the grass!
 Getting in the hole was no problem but getting out was a struggle!

That was a bit of a struggle!
 Eric, seeing what fun May was having, he was soon on the ground and heading towards the hole!

This soil is good and diggable!
 May was enjoying herself and spent almost all of the walk around the sea shore, sniffing and snuffling amongst the grass.

Once we got back home they both headed for the cuddle cup for a cuddle and a snooze!

Holly has said that we will be getting some cold weather by the weekend, so I don't suppose that the ferrets will be out if it's cold!

I do hope it's not too cold, we are just getting used to this warm weather!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Busy doing nothing!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, as we said, it's been a bit of a nothing day today.

We were out for our morning walk but a whole hour later than normal!

Yes, we over slept!

So, we missed the sunrise and by the time we got to the football field the sun was up and steaming across the sky, mind you, there was a little bit of mist left, so Old Two Legs had a play with that!

If you look one way, it's not very interesting!
 However, if you turn the other way and walk ten steps you get.......


Now, that's a moody one!
 So, keeping to the same side we walked a few more paces and there was this one.

Moody through the tress and brambles.
 Just for a change we spotted a Robin looking for breakfast. We don't often see birds among the trees 'cos there's no leaves to hide them but as spring creeps on, along come the birds!


Hello Woofers, seen and grubs?
 As we headed towards the sea shore the sun really got up and even OTL was blinded!

We must remember to bring our sun glasses tomorrow!
 Once we got over the hill we had to keep our eyes shut, so, that means we had to use our noses and of course that means we could find all the sniffs!

You know, we could have missed this one!
 Once back at home, OTL got busy with the ferrets and we headed for bed!

Lunchtime came along and today OTL brought Wendy and Monty along for a walk. Miss Wendy managed to blag a lift in the ferret bag but Monty was happy to chase after OTL along the path. OTL decided to leave the camera at home 'cos he is playing with the big camera as the small one has gone wobbly and is in need of some TLC from the manufacturer!

I expect he will get it sent off over the next week or so!

This afternoon OTL took both of the cars to the car wash and got a 'Mini Valet' which managed to get rid of our muddy paw prints and the marks made by Holly's nose on the windscreen where she has been woofing at the truckers!

I'm off now 'cos our chicken has just been dished out, so, bye bye for now!

Luv,

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

Misty Morning, Foggy Day

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super day we have just had, OK, so this morning first thing it looked like it was going to be cold 'cos Old Two Legs had to scrape ice off the windscreen before we could go for our walk.

When we got to the football field there was some heavy mist swirling about and the sun had got up before we got there, but......................just look at this!

Now, is this moody or wot?
 Old Two Legs spent a bit of time getting the sun to hide behind the tree trunk but it was worth it!


Not bad, not bad at all!
 As we got around the corner we saw the sun being reflected on the wet mud! That gave us two suns!


Sun and Mini Sun!
 We met up with the lads who were later than normal and after a good sniff we left them with the morning sun and headed back home.

Around the back of the rubbish bin there's a good sniff, fox we think!
 One of the good things about the early morning walk is the possibility of frost or dew on the spiders web.

Looks like diamonds!
 One this was did see later was the tide turning and coming back in, it looked a bit like a mini tsunami heading back to the shore!

A tsunami is on the way it!
 Of course, it wasn't a real tsunami but it still looked interesting, if you are interested in stuff like that!

Holly says that this warm weather will last for most of the week so we intend to wake up a couple of ferrets for a run around tomorrow, not too sure who it will be but we reckon Eric and May stand a good chance!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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