Beach Babes!

Hi Woofers!

It's McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret back with you again!

Back home we have a camera out the front of the house to watch over our caravan and cars and not only does it record both day and night, we also have the 'live feed' down loadable on the telephone!

Looking at it today we see that it is raining a little more than it is up here!

In between the showers we have been out on the beach with Old Two Legs and his camera.

Now the sun is shining through the clouds and if he tried to take a picture of the sea there would be loads of very white bits that OTL calls 'Blown'!

So, being all technical he has brought his big collapsible Lens Hood that also holds his 'Graduated Filter' and has been 'Playing with the Light'..................show off!

OTL being all 'Arty'!

holly and I decided that we should get in the picture and so when ever he put the camera to his eye, we were there!

See me, see my Sister!

Of course, being that he was trying to be Arty, I decided that I would join in and look all 'Artisan'!

This HDR photo thingy is all very Marmite, me, I love Marmite!

the Missus has been getting all 'Arty' as well and uploaded a video 'Teaser' on what she plans for the next visit up to the village hall when we get back home!

Seems that everyone is going 'Ooh and Aaah!' already, she is another show off!

OTL says he will give Holly and I another brush today, him and who's army?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret!

Trust TM to find a ‘Crop’

Hello Woofers!

It's McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret again!

Well, it’s been a very lazy day today. Old Tow Legs has been trying to brush both of us to get rid of the knots on our coats. In the end we escaped and had a good roll in the sand!

Instead of going into town to shop, The Missus decided to visit the village shop to do the bit of shopping and got into deep discussions with some ladies and found out that today was the day for ‘Crafting’ in the village hall!

That was it, miss a chance of a bit of Gossip and Gas!

So, we had a walk on the beach then headed back to the caravan to have a wrestle with OTL and the brush!

After that we all had a rest and even I had a little snooze.

I’ve  still got my eye on you!  

Well after a snooze we all woke up a little late to pick TM up, soTM was waiting outside the hall and tapping her toes!

OTL was in trouble again!

It’s been raining on and off all day so we have been resting!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret!

Here Pussy, Pussy!

Hi Woofers!

It's McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret here!

Well, it's still raining in between the sun shine! We've been out down the beach and this morning Eric de MacFerret came with us for our stroll along the beach.

As we were heading back along the beach Old Two Legs got chatting with another pair of Two Legs who reckon they had seen an otter swimming down the stream not more than ten minutes ago! That was in, we got dumped into the caravan together with Eric and off went OTL with the camera, hunting otter!

Holly and I settled down for a snooze but were awoken by a 'Catish' sound from underneath the caravan. As Holly says, 'we're not having any sniffy cats under our van'!

We set up a super big woofing howl that shook the caravan and woke everyone up!

The Missus stopped her experimenting with manufacturing some gold powder made using dried egg yoke and powdered sand, stormed into the van and told us off!

Holly wasn't happy with us being told off and said that TM should get back to her alchemy and leave us to guard the van against smelly cats!

TM pulled the blinds down and warned us against any more noise!

OTL will sort her out when he gets back!

 OTL came back later, he couldn't find the otter but managed to see some gulls on the beach, a bit boring really!

No Otters here!

You know what? OTL said that he 'aint going to 'sort out' TM, he's not that brave or stupid!

He is just a big scaredecat!

Still if the cats return we could sneak out and chase the tails off the pair of them!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret!

Real Highland Weather

Hi Woofers!

It's McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret again!

Well, we are glad to say that yesterday it poured down, in fact it was real 'Heeland Weather'! The day was spent going out for a wee, (between showers) and diving into town for a little shopping!

Today it has been much of the same. The ferrets are not happy about being kept in the caravan and not being allowed out for a splash in the sea!

Old Two Legs has allowed them out for a rampage around the caravan and Eric has been making the most out of that by tearing around the backs of the seats and racing around the caravan like it was a race track!

Now, OTL had to keep picking him up and plonking him down on the cushions while at the same time clean out the cage and on top of that he had to keep Wendy from attempting to bite his butt!

The pair were racing up and down the caravan with Wendy screaming her tail off and pretending that she was being attacked by Eric but in reality it was her wot was doing all the attacking!

Crafty little lady!

At on point she hid under the doggy towels and had a snooze while Eric took up and invitation to breakfast. OTL said that breakfast would be at nine but Eric was early, about half an hour early and of course when he went looking for the nosh, there was nothing there!

There's nuffin in here either!

Of course, when The Missus sat down to enjoy her Honey and Toast sarnies Holly and I were snuggled right up to her and were giving her the old 'Eye Ball Treatment'!

OTL still hasn't got the Milky Way yet and looking at the forecast he 'aint going to get it this side of Christmas, the forecast says that there is nothing but rain heading our way!

We reckon OTL will have the same problem as he did last visit. Angels!

The Giggle Juice he purchased, at great expense, is disappearing fast and as much as we do to catch these Angels, we haven't yet managed to grab one!

TM reckons that OTL is just too Angelic and it's him wot is doing the vanishing trick with the 'Water of Life'!

See you all tomorrow, providing we have got any good stories for you!

Luv,McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret!

More Crowded Beaches!

Hello Woofers!

McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret here again!

We have been having a very lazy time, The Missus has been doing some 'Creating' with her inks and glue! Old Two Legs has been doing some 'Mending' of the caravan, bits that have fallen off or snapped or wot is hanging down from the ceiling!

Finally, OTL managed to get into Campbeltown and into the local distillery for a bottle of 'Giggle Juice'!

One thing we have noticed is that he gets a good nights sleep after a slurp or six!

Holly and I have been looking after the beach, making sure that there are no mucky pups leaving piles of poo for us to tread in!

Hey! Someones left a Poo Here!

One of the good things about this place is that TM & OTL get all sort of lazy after all the jobs are done and can easily be persuaded to go for a wander along the beach and if the tide is in.......I get a chance for a splosh!

Me, River Sploshing!

One of the good things about having a splosh in the sea and then a splosh in the river is that when I come out of the river, I have washed all the salt off my tail!

Now, as you know, Holly Chops just doesn't do wet. in fact dew on the grass is enough to send shivers all up and down her back, but, this beach seems to have an effect on her.

I think I'm stuck!

Of course she wasn't but to see Holly in water is certainly something new!

We wandered up the river and came across some old woodwork where there must have been a dock of some sort in the olden days. Let's face it, Carradale looks like a super place to do some good old fashion smuggling!

Yeah! you could get a skiff up here and unload a few barrels before the Excise Men found you!

Last night OTL was giving the Giggle Juice a good bashing and as he staggered around while Holly and I had a wee, he saw the Milky Way above his head and he reckons that when he stops wobbling about, he will try to get a shot of the Milky Way!

Holly wants to know why would anyone want to take a photo of a choccy bar? I mean, fried marmalade sarnie is strange enough!

See you tomorrow, if the Internetty holds up!

Luv,

McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret!

Mcwoofers Here!

Monday.

Hello Woofers!

McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret here!

Well, we have arrived at Gretna Green for our overnight stay and have had a very entertaining drive up here.

We have been waving at all the Truckers on the motorways and Eric has been blowing raspberries at them as well! Miss Mc Wendy has been blowing them kisses but we think that is just to wind up Eric who is in the cage next door and has been prevented from sharing Wendy's cage!

Already The Missus and Old Two Legs have been down to the chippy and ordered up sausage and chips to go with a bottle of Bollinger that has been chilling in the fridge!

I can see that they both will be having a good sleep tonight!

See you tomorrow when we get up to Carradale and get a good run on the beach!

Luv,

McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret!

Tuesday.

Hi Ho Woofers!

Us again, McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret!

Well now, it is two hundred miles from Gretna to Carradale and to be honest, it has been rather boring. As there was only a little bit of motorway between Gretna and Loch Lomond, we didn't get much of a chance to wave at the truckers!

So, being good woofers, we slept most of the way, right up to when we turned off the road and drove down to the campsite.

We could sniff the sniffs we remember from last time and I insisted that OTL wind down the window so I can get a decent sniff of the trees and the river and the beach!

We were back!

We left OTL to pay the man and plant the caravan while TM, Holly and I headed for the beach!

It was great, I headed straight for the sea and Holly was close behind me but stopped short at the waters edge 'cos she doesn't do water and all she would allow is to get her paws damp!

Me, on the other paw, went straight in and got soaked from my nose to my tail!

You know, TM didn't even try to tell me to get out!

OTL got the caravan planted and put up the small awning that we had brought with us. Now this is a 'Half Awning' that OTL got some time ago for when we go camping in bad weather but we haven't used it for years and OTL says it is a 'Right Pig' to put up!

Well, he always swears when he puts it up and he can never remember which pole goes in what hole, so that means the thing keeps falling onto his head, which makes him swear even more!

Finally he got it up and went in the caravan for a rest, unfortunately, something he has eaten over the last two days has not agreed with him and he has got the 'Grumbly Tum' like wot we get when we eat stuff we find outside rabbit holes and the like.

Mind you, I don't remember him sniffing around and rabbit holes over the last two days!

See you tomorrow and with a bit of luck we will have some photo's for you!

Luv,

McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret!

Wednesday.

Hi Woofers!

It's McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret again!

Well, OTL is not a 'Happy Puppy' cos his tum is still grumbling and he is refusing to take us on long walks!

So, we have had what is called a 'Relaxing' day, read a little, snooze a little, dig up the beach a little and play chase with Holly a little!

OTL has been trying to get McWendy and Eric de MacFerret on better terms by taking them both for a run on the beach and by crafty manipulating the leads they are both on, he manages to get them close and butt sniffing but clear of sharp teeth!

So you can imagine, Eric gets close and has a sniff, then Wendy gets close for a sniff and even gets to put her paws on Eric's back.

So, contact but no biting, until Wendy does a double flip somersault, lands on Eric's back and tries to bite Eric's ear!

Back to stage one again!

We cant get the email to work and it is a pain to get the Internetty to work as well, so bear with us and if all fails we will have to find a shop with 'Free Wi-Fi' to up load all this stuff.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret!

All packed and ready to go!

Hi Woofers!

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

We have been working hard today, Old Two Legs and The Missus have been loading up the caravan with all their stuff for the holiday. Loads of clothes cos it is bound to be raining and loads of doggy towels cos us woofers are bound to get wet!

Then there is the booze cupboard cos its bound to rain and stop them from going out so they will need a slurp or two just to keep their spirits up!

The Doggy Cupboard is full of chews and nibbles so that we don't starve!

There is loads of ferret food and treats as well and of course a big bag of Brambles Biscuits!

Holly and I have been putting new words to our 'Traveling Songs' and OTL says they are too rude to put on Daisy's Diary!

So, we plan to sing them and when a rude word comes up we will go silent for just the word.

If anyone objects it will be their fault cos it was them who inserted the word, see?

OTL has said that he thinks the ferrets will end up in two cages. For some reason Wendy objects to Eric and Eric objects to being attacked!

After the holidays we will take Eric to Harrietsham and have a chat with Roy and Chris about finding one or even two ferrets that get on with Eric especially when he wants to play chase and when they are finished, have a ferret cuddle!

Miss Wendy loves a cuddle but on her terms so what we need to do is find a ferret like Freddy who when Wendy tried to show off, he just turned around and went to sleep!

It wasn't long before the pair of them were cuddling!

Eric came out with us this morning and lunchtime it was Wendy's turn but she was just too sleepy to come out! Mind you, it was rather warm and our large harnesses didn't help us either!

OTL got his clippers out and gave his head a very short back and sides in fact it was almost bald all over!

We are planning an early night tonight so that we can get away early tomorrow.

Bye for now and see you again in Gretna!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Naughty Wendy!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's been busy, busy, busy day today. The Missus headed off to the village hall for a bit of intensive 'Glue Slapping' while we have been gathering all our holiday stuff ready for Old Two Legs to load up into the caravan.

We managed to get all that we could remember but no matter how much we looked, we couldn't find our rain coats!

OTL says that being Scotland, we will more than likely to need a raincoat at some time or other!

Miss Wendy came out first thing this morning for a run 'cos Eric was fast asleep in his cuddle cup. When we arrived back home, OTL put Wendy back in the cage with Eric who was still half asleep in the cuddle cup.

Wendy, being fully awake and full of energy after her run, stuck her nose into Eric's bed, screamed at him and tried to take a lump out of his ears!

Now, Eric is rather good at waking up quickly when he is about to get beaten up and of course as you know...........that's when the fight started!

OTL had to separate the pair of them and put one on the floor and the other up in the travel cage, until things cooled down!

It was then that OTL said that travelling up to Scotland the ferrets will be in separate cages 'cos he doesn't want things to kick off as he is driving north on the M6!

When we get there we will try getting the pair of them out at the same time for a rampage along the beach and a rampage up and down the caravan, while OTL cleans the cages, then, if they are both tired enough, he will try both in the same cage!

Claws crossed!

Lunchtime we were out with Eric for a run along the beach and of course, there was a Two Legs with her Mini Two Legs who wanted to stroke Eric and finally have a photo taken with the MTL holding Eric!

Why they don't want a picture of Holly or even a picture of me, fresh from a Deep Paddle in the water!

It was the same when we got home. Eric was put in the cage and it was Wendy who got taken up to the village hall to meet up with Rosy for a cuddle!

Wendy gets a cuddle from Rosy!

Holly says that we weren't allowed up there cos it was lunchtime and there was bound to be food on offering for us to snaffle!

Tomorrow it will be the last bits of packing ready for our early morning departure on Monday!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

Two More Days!

Hello Woofers!

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

Old Two Legs has made a list of things that have to be doe before we head off to Scotland. So far he has kept to the list and today is no exception.

On the list was 'Advantix for Woofers' which is that nasty stuff that keep the Ticks away which is a good thing but it still makes my shoulders itch like the devil!

Another job was to fit the 'Tyre Pressure Monitor' to the caravan, which he did and it was dead easy to fit as well!

This thingy monitors the tyre pressure on all four wheels on the caravan and if we get a puncture or there is a loss of pressure for whatever reason, the dashboard monitor will light up like a Christmas Tree and warn us!

Mind you, it won't tell us if the wheel falls off, unless it is fifty yards away cos the link is by Blue Tooth!

Miss Wendy came out with us first thing this morning and had some fun chasing us along the beach!

She also enjoyed charging through the long grass and she even chased Holly when she slowed down for a sniff!

Back home there was a little tussle when both ferrets got behind the fitment and started a war. The Missus couldn't get to them to make them stop so she banged on the fitment and the drumming scared the tails off both ferrets and they shot out both ends of the fitment!

OTL has been packing up some camera gear he wants to take away with him. This time he plans to get a shot of the Milky Way 'cos the skies will be dark and the only thing that will stop him will be clouds, and of course a surfeit of whisky!

Eric came out at lunchtime and had a great time chasing Holly 'cos she wouldn't get a move on along the beach. Holly tried doing to 'Woofer Warning Growl' but Eric didn't take any notice and continued to try to bite Holly's back legs!

Eric just loves running with Holly and I, he reckons he is one of the pack and tries to run in between us as we run along the path!

OTL took delivery of a new pair of boots today 'cos the old ones have had all the sole worn away and when he leans against the kitchen sink he slowly slides across the floor, and it has nothing to do with ferret wee on the floor tiles!

These boots are seriously smart and have a soft pad stuck inside making walking super comfortable!

Mind you 'super comfortable' was not what I felt when I jumped back into the car as I caught my paw on the lock and it hurt!

I stood there looking all sorry for myself and held my paw up and waited until OTL took a look, then slowly examined all my claws and pads to make sure I hadn't done any serious damage.

Holly, on the other paw said it was what I deserved for being such a show off, jumping into the boot of the car instead of waiting for OTL to pick me up like wot he does with Holly!

I said that the only reason she gets picked up is cos she is so fat and wobbly!

.......and that's when the fight started!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

It's Getting Closer!

Hello Woofers!

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

Old Two Legs is slowly working his way down the 'List of Things' he has to do before the holiday and today it was:-

1. Clear up the foundations of the old green house.
2. Get big car washed and cleaned outside and inside.
3. Introduce both ferrets to the travelling cage, at the same time!

First thing this morning we were off with Eric for our morning walk and young Eric almost wore himself out running along the Sea Wall and the long grass!

When we got him home he had a little rampage around the house then crawled under the sofa and fell asleep!

Miss Wendy didn't even bother to give him a nip!

Lunchtime arrived and it was Miss Wendy's turn for a run and just like Eric, she just wore herself out on the beach and through the long grass.

Back home she got into her bed and didn't even attempt to beat Eric up when he stuck his nose over the edge of her cuddle cup!

Two tired little ferrets!

OTL thought it was a good time to see what happens if he puts them in the cage together, so, very carefully he placed them into the two cuddle cups............... and that's when the fight started!

This afternoon OTL loaded the big car up with three and a half ton of solidified cement and bricks and headed off to the council tip. He didn't take Holly and I 'cos he reckons we would get into to much trouble down the tip, Me? Us? Never!

After the foundations were ejected onto the skip at the tip he headed off for the 'Hand Car Wash'

He paid them a fortune to clean the outside and the inside and polish the seats and do a good job everywhere before the holiday!

Finally he chopped off a load of branches that have been hanging over our side of the front wall.

So, tomorrow he has to brush up the dust and bits of brickwork from the back garden. Then he has to anoint us with that horrid anti Tick stuff that itches like mad!

The next job it to fit a remote tyre pressure monitor to the caravan wheels and fit the readout unit to the dashboard somehow. That way we can monitor the tyre pressure on the four wheels on the caravan and get a warning if we get a puncture!

All very technical you know!

No pictures today 'cos we had the ferrets out with us and OTL can't take pictures and watch out for woofers who might want to chase Wendy or Eric!

Poor Archie Babe, having to get washed and sploshed and shaved, horrid it is! Mind you the sniff that is left gets you loads of cuddles from the TL's but it's not much fun when the other woofers laugh at you!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!
