They left us!

Hi Woofers!

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

I do love the summer time, good warm weather and places to snooze in that are normally covered in mud!

Like yesterday it was just super having a bask in the sun, in front of the shed, in the warm rays of the sun.

That was until the ants came out and started to crawl all through our hair!

It was a good job that Old Two Legs gave us a good rub down before we went back in doors and up to his office!

Of course, we couldn't be too sure all the ants had gone but I daresay that The Missus flying around on her jet powered vacuum cleaner might get any of the stragglers!

Still, it was good and sunny and a day just meant for snoozing!

A day for ants!
Today we were up early for our walk, seems OTL couldn't stay asleep 'cos he and TM had been out yesterday doing some shopping and didn't get back until very late, hence the missing blog yesterday!

TM got herself a new iPlod to match OTL's and the pair of them have been playing with them, trying to make them do wot they want do, with only a small success!

Remember, if all else fails 'RTFM'!

Only there were no manuals in the box!

When we finally got out the clouds were low and half promising some rain but lucky enough it stayed away all day.

Mind you, it was a little dramatic!

Now, how about that for a morning vista!
 Miss May, her tail is getting better and the mark is getting smaller every day, so the antibiotic stuff is doing it's job!

We are in to see the vet next Wednesday, Miss May for her tail and Holly and I to get our yearly stab!

You know, ferrets seem to sleep around eighteen hours a day and it is not unusual to find a ferret curled up under the sofa or even on my bed!

Monty having a little rest before going off to sleep for the day!
If the rain keeps off, this weekend we will be re arranging the earth around the pond, the only down side will be if it rains, I might get a shave and shampoo!

Claws crossed!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Strange Sea Vessel!

Hi Woofers!

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

We have been having some fun today. It started off with young Monty de Ferret. You see, these ferrets have all got a 'Thing' about rubber or spongy stuff!

Eric goes bananas over a 'Smoothy' and it's not the icy thing you drink! Miss May goes potty over convalescing powder and Wendy just loves dog food, especially the Brambles Biscuits!

Now they seem to be able to get everywhere they shouldn't and steal everything they fancy!

There was Old Two Legs cleaning cages when he heard a crashing sound, it was Eric throwing the empty 'Pet Disinfectant' off the top of his cage. It seems he wanted to get down to floor level where there was some Lactose Free Milk left in the bowl and he would rather get down by climbing onto OTL's shoulder than sliding down the cage wall!

Hey! Gissa Lift?
We saw a funny looking ship out on the River Medway this morning, it looked like a barge with a couple of Hi-Ab cranes hanging off the ends. Dunno what they were doing but you could bet that if the ferrets saw that they would want it!

Keep and eye open for Ferret Pirates!
The sun couldn't make up it's mind this morning and was making some interesting cloud patterns in the sky.

..........and just above you can almost see the sun!
Lunchtime was better, the sun came out but the wind was still blowing, so, all the insects were hanging onto the branches and grass, trying not to get blown out to sea!

No, I 'aint moving until the wind drops!
In amongst the trees it was better but the only insects were the Hover Flies hovering under the tree branches.

One this we did see was the ring of seats for the Two Legs to sit on, not that we have ever seen any of them sitting on the seats, mind you, it could be because there were no backs to the chairs and they would fall off!

Well, how about sitting on the floor and leaning against the seat? Well, it was just a thought!
 Next week Miss May is off to the vets again to see about her tail and both Holly and I are going to get pushed, pulled and then stabbed! Of course that means OTL will be crying all the way home!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

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

The Rain is Back!

Hello Woofers!

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

Wot a surprise we got today, rain!

It started just as we got out our front door, dark doomy clouds and a sprinkling of the wet stuff!

and the waves had white stuff on the top of them!
Old Two Legs was wondering if he should get the camera out of the car and in the end brought it with him and got a shot of a large container ship coming in off the North Sea!

Can you see the Container Ship?   Large innit?
The sun came out as we went around out walk and just for a couple of minutes it shone down behind one of the trees.

There's the Sun but it won't be out for long!
Lunchtime the rain had gone away for a while and the sun came back again but the wind got up a bit and as it blew straight into OTL's face his hood and jacket blew up like a balloon and he almost took off!

We were glad when we got under the trees cos although it was noisy it wasn't so drafty!

That's better!
 One thing we like seeing as we walk around is the wild Sweet Pea plants. The Missus 'Liberated' some seeds a couple of years ago, stored them in a jug and left them on the window ledge.

They never did sprout!

The seeds are beginning to swell up in the pods, reckon they will be ready for picking come September time!
 Good to Missy Sue back from her rampaging around the country and enjoying a good Internetty Signal from the home Gissmo!

OTL has just got himself one of those EyePlods with a Micro Sim Card so he can get on the Internetty when he is away from home, should be fun setting it up, normally he has to ask The Missus how to do it and the end up shouting at each other about which button to push!

Mind you, this one has to see OTL's finger print before it turns on, now that will be fun!

See you all tomorrow and Good Behaviour Archie Babe or you could end up getting told off!

Luv,

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

OK, who is that coughing?

Hello Woofers!

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

We headed off for our morning walk and surprise surprise, no rain! In fact it was quite mild and heading towards being warm and sunny!

Old Two Legs brought the camera which was lucky, as you'll find out!

A smooth beginning to the day!
As we were walking along the top path sniffing the sniffs, we spotted four woofers coming in the opposite direction. There was one spaniel type woofer that was tearing about all over the place, like wot they normally do.

The other three woofers were all Pug's! Now we have seen Pug's before but not very often, so these three deserved a sniff!

There were two of them who wanted to play sniff but the third was looking for trouble.

He stood next to OTL and began to bark in the most vicious way. Well, we think it was a bark but it sounded more like a weasel with a bad cough!

That didn't stop him, on and on he went woofing his tail off and it was so difficult not to laugh at his attempt to do a decent woof!

Hang on, I'm getting there!
Now wot made it funnier was OTL tickling the Pug's tail, like wot he does to all woofers who want to be friendly!

So there was OTL Tickling the Tail of this Pug who was almost choking trying to woof.

Wot made it worse was the silly woofer was throwing his head back to try a 'Howl' and nearly choked on his tongue!

......................and then I'll kick seven sort of poo out of you!
Well, we just couldn't take any more and headed off laughing louder than this Pug was woofing!


It's no good, we can't stand any more!
It was great just to get back to OTL's insects!


Hey! Can you hear that funny coughing?
 Lunchtime came and we headed off to the beach but the tide was out and to be honest, we didn't fancy running in the mud!

Well I'm not swimming in that mud, how about t he sand?
So, that's just what Holly did, even though OTL was telling her to 'Get Up'!

Once she gets going there is no way to stop her, so we had to sit on the sea wall and wait!

............................and a little roll here and a little role there!
 Mind you, it was good to get out of the sun and under the trees, all we needed was a bit of wind and it would have been perfect!

Not a Rabbit to be seen!
The rest of the day we spent snoozing, except when Eric, who was cuddling up to Miss May in one of the ferret hammocks, fell off the hammock and landed flat on his back in the bottom of their cage, just missing a rather large lump of poo!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Wot is this Wet Stuff?

Hi Woofers!

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

Now then, first the important bit!

Miss May went down the vets and had her tail examined and although there is an improvement, it still hasn't healed. So, Old Two Legs has to keep on with the antibiotics for another ten days. That is giving Miss May the antibiotics not OTL!

On the next visit the vet will do a small operation to remove the muck and stuff from her tail which should make it all better. The vet put some stuff on the sore bit and said that it would act like 'Getting rid of a Verruca', what ever a verruca is!

Wasn't last night just great? I mean, Coooool!

Mind you there was some rain during the night but we were all too tired to bother with listening to it!

Mind you, good news, it's too wet to do the pond digging and too wet to give me a wash and hair cut!

Result!

Today we have been out for our walk and OTL had to judge just when by looking at the Rain Radar on the Internetty!


I'll be glad when the sun comes back!
Half way around the walk we go under some trees and then the rain drips onto the leaves and leaves us dryish!

How come we never see any rabbits here under the trees?
Holly thought she saw a rabbit and dashed off but all I saw was a pigeon so I left Holly to do the chasing bit!

Mind you, OTL and I got back to the car and came across Erik who was just about to start his walk. Of course he loves OTL and always gets a tickle on his tail!

Normally Holly and him have a sniff but today she was late in arriving after all that rabbit chasing, so she missed out today!

Poor Holly!

Erik the lad they call me!
The Missus was up the village hall today doing some 'glue slapping' and OTL has been messing about doing some manufacturing and getting ready for Monday so he can ship it all off!

OTL had an email through today telling him that they can't mend his laptop and please can they have some money for not having the spare parts which they don't make any more!

OTL was not a happy puppy!

Tomorrow it is F1 racing so we are all looking forward to seeing that.

See you all tomorrow!

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

It's Hot!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, nothing much has happened today, it's been hot and although the clouds came over the top of us there was no wet stuff landing in the garden.

Last night it rained but we were all asleep and the few bangs of thunder hardly woke us up, just Holly Chops and she went back to bed after The Missus shouted at her!

Holly jumped up onto the bed and cuddled up next to Old Two Legs head and gave his ear a good licking!

Well, it keeps her quiet!

Miss May is off to the vet to see about her tail so we can't hang around. Let's face it a tail is a most important part of a woofer, even if it is a ferret!

See you all tomorrow and it's a toss up between doing some gardening around the pond, giving me a wash and hair cut or watching the F1 Qualifying!

Bye for now!

Luv,

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

Busy Doing Nothing!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a day! We saw 34 on the in car temperature gauge and you know, we were all well up for a run at lunch time but as soon as we got out of the car it seemed like we had his a hot brick wall!

Old Two Legs had his camera with him but there was a sad lack of insects to photograph!

All we saw was a small Dragonfly having a breather!

It''s just too hot to hunt!
Holly and I kept to the shady bits and even shared a sniff, well, it's just too hot to argue about it!

Sharing a sniff with Sis!
One of the good things is that half of the walk is under the trees which is great in the wet cos that keeps the rain off and in the sunshine we can stay cool in the shade!

Heads up girl, there's sunshine ahead!
Back home it was a hard job finding a cool place but after a small hunt I decided that under OTL's desk was the best place!

Well, nothing much left to report on except that the forecast is for rain, thunder and lightening over the next few days!

Now, I don't mind the rain but thunder tends to upset Holly so we have to look after her!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Hot enough to set your tail on fire!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a day! You know that we saw 33 degrees come up on the dash board of the car at lunchtime.

Holly and I were fighting to go for a swim in the water bowl in the back of the car!

Even this morning it was just too hot to go chasing rabbits so Holly and I just wobbled along doing a 'Left and Right Sniff'.

Now, lunchtime we could hardly do a wobble! It was really just too hot and we understand that tomorrow it is going to be up into record figures!

Old Two Legs took his camera out but there was very little to photograph, the Damsel Fly was fast asleep, well, it didn't move when Holly Woofer as she went past!

How Rude!
The sunrise was a bit wishy washy and other than the colour it was hardly worth photographing!

Well, we've seen better!
OTL has put the hose pipe into the garden to fill the pond and I must say that if it were not for the young froggy people I'd be straight in there for a swim!

The ferrets have got a frozen block from the freezer to keep under their bed just to cool off if they want to. Trouble is, they keep kicking about the cage just like a Curling Stone!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Hot or Wot!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a day!

I mean it got up to twenty nine as we headed off to our midday walk and as The Missus says.....'Wottsat in real money?'

Gawd knows......hot?

Old Two Legs has been out for most of the day so we had to take TM for a walk. Let's face it, she doesn't know her way around the woods so we have to show her!

Holly and I take her up the biggest hill and then down into the woods where all the mosquitoes are flying around looking for a meal of blood!

Hey! Remember OTL took some pictures with his camera phone and tried to send them back to the home email? well, they finally arrived!

Gawd knows where they have been hiding but here they are now.

Do I look good or wot?
Of course, Holly just kept on posing on the bench top, show off!

Hey! Do you feel shabby next to me?
Well, that was it, I jumped down and headed off into the long grass for a wee while she was Tarting about on the bench!

Is she showing off or has she found a sniff?
In the end Holly gave up waiting for anyone to pass by and say 'Oh Wot a Smart Woofer!'

Actually, there's a small bit on the side of my nose that needs trimming!
OK, lesson learnt, use a real camera!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another Missed Bath!

Hi Woofers!

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

OK, stand to attention, get in line 'cos it is Uncle Mikes birthday today and did you know he is Numpty Nine years old?

Not bad for an old duffer like wot he is!

So, we have composed a special birthday song, just for him and we have included all the best bits he likes!

So, after 793..........................Ready?.............Steady?...............Seven, ninety THREE!

Happy Birthday to Yooo
Here's a bucket of Pooo
We all did it last night
Especially for Yooooooooooooo!

Now I bet you haven't had one like that before?


Nearly as good as Mike's sniff!
 Now you know all about the plant that Old Two Legs dug up yesterday? Well just look at this pile of roots. That is all one plant and OTL reckons there is more bits he may have missed, so he is going to go over it all again and re model the stones on the left 'cos it looks like a grave!

Just one plant!
We took the big camera out with us at lunchtime and caught up with a couple of Dragonflies who had landed to catch their breath!

Just look at the size of the eyes!
This one was much smaller but once it took of it went like a rocket!

Getting ready to go...................and
I missed out on the bath today, OTL says he plans to 'Do Me' on Saturday, so I'm wishing for rain and cold weather and anything that will stop him getting me all soapy and bald like!

Actually, I like this 'Rough' look!
Now, the delivery man came today and took away the laptop and OTL had to use the newest computer with Windows 10 on it and of course there is no photo processing program on it, so, he has downloaded Corel Paintshop Pro on a seven day free download, just to see how he gets on with it.

We have an idea that he may buy it in the end and keep it on the Windows 10 machine just to do my diary on, that is if he gets on with it of course!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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