It was on a Thursday Morning that the Plumber came to call!

Hi Woofers!

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

We have had a day here when we reckon Old Two Legs won't want to see again!

As you know, the Plumbers were called on an emergency 'cos we had a leak in the bathroom and nowadays OTL is banned from messing about with water!

Well, along they came and sorted out the leak but The Missus wanted a bit more stuff done and before OTL could object, there was a new bathroom suite being nailed to the floor!

Lucky for OTL, he had to go and get new tyres fitted to the big car, all ready for winter!

To start off, we were up early for a run but again, missed the sun rise and it was all orangy sort of colour!

The sun is on the right hand side!

While we were looking at the sunrise, OTL was clicking away but we didn't know what he was playing about, that was until we saw the rabbit sitting in the middle of the path chewing on a blade of grass!

The hole is just in front of me, so you have no chance!

Not exactly playing the game, I mean, we normally have a run around the field before it gets lost in the brambles!

OTL got back for our midday walk and just for fun, both Holly and I decided to pose on the park bench!

Shall we hold up a paw up and look all cute?

This weekend OTL will be working on the bathroom floor replacing some tiles, so that will keep him out of trouble!

Today there has been a lack of screaming from Miss Wendy but I don't think she is getting any softer towards Eric, more like saving up her energy for a right punch up tomorrow!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Another Busy Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's been a fun day today, chilly this morning on our walk but warm later in the day.

Eric has been a bit of a pickle today, he has tried his 'Charm Offensive' on little Wendy.

Mind you, Wendy has been a pickle as well, there she was this morning, sniffing around in the 'Office' when she bumped into Eric who had his nose under some blankets on the floor.

Eric was looking for monsters and Wendy was looking for whatever was making a sniffing noise.

That's when the fight started and Wendy flew at Eric to take a lump or two out of his ear. Old Two Legs dived down in between the pair of them, well it was his hand that went in first and Wendy thinking it was Eric's ear, tried to take a lump out of the 'Ear'!

Oh Golly Gosh, quoth OTL, Oops! Says Wendy as soon as she realised that it was OTL she was trying to dismember!

Before any lumps were removed form OTL Wendy let go and started to lick it better!

Eric ferreted off to find some other sniffs while Wendy spent some time making it up to OTL and enjoying a slurp of Ferretone whilst at the same time watching Eric out the corner of her eye!

Just in case!

The morning run was too late for the sunrise and too early for the sun shiny day! Still, with a bit of careful hopping around on one leg to get the sun behind the bushes OTL managed these!

First the sun behind the bushes.

 A couple of quick hops and a wiggle on a clump of grass and........

Now the sun's behind the tree!

 You would be amazed to see just how fast we are rotating around in circles, before we could get to the sea wall, the sun was up and the sky was turning blue!

That was quick!

OTL had to go out to see one of his customers so The Missus took us out for the midday walk and the sun was making it all super warm!

While we were out OTL sat down in the office and took a look at Miss Wendy, checking her out for any injuries she may have received when Eric retaliates.

No harm done, just the odd mark from Eric's teeth. However, there OTL was, having turned Wendy onto her back to look at her underside when Eric climbed out of the opened cage door, climbed onto OTL's shoulder, crept down his arm, reached Wendy who was on her back, and then told OTL 'That's it, you hold her while I get a sniff!'

That's when the fight started again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

We're Back Again!

Hi Woofers!

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

Back home again after our super holiday in Scotland. We did sleep very well last night, all that driving back from Gretna along the motorways, dead boring!

We had to keep Old Two Legs company 'cos The Missus had her Bluetooth Headphones on, listening to the last two weeks worth of 'The Archers',  I mean, it's enough to send you to sleep, which it did and the snoring was terrible!

We had a stop at the services on the M6 Toll road and pulled faces at the big truckers parked up in the Truck Park!

The only hold up was about five miles from home but it didn't worry us cos we could sniff home when we stuck our noses out the window!

This morning we had fun sniffing the sniffs down on the Sea Wall and reading the message board!

Just look at the sniff spots!

 We missed out on the very high tides yesterday but we inspected the shore and the sand was pushed well up the to the sea wall!

I bet it was fun watching the tide come in yesterday!

 Holly has been a bit of a misery paws today, she said she missed the sea and the sand of Scotland and wanted to go back again!

All those dead bird sniffs and Nelly Fish, it's just not the same!

We came back to some good news. Young Ethan won this at  school for best athlete  and also for  encouraging other team members on! He takes after his Grandma, she is always 'Encouraging OTL' to get on and do something! Trouble is, he doesn't get any prizes!

Best Athlete!

Well done to Ethan!

We had to have the Plumber Man in today, OTL found a leak in the bathroom and traced it to the back of the toilet. It started of with a repair but by the time we finished, a new toilet, hand basin and pedestal had been ordered! This is The Missus doing her 'Encouraging OTL' bit!

I think OTL wants to join Holly and go back on holiday again!

By the way, the ferrets are still fighting and OTL is considering his next move!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret

Packing up for tomorrow.

Hello Woofers!

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

Now, you all know that the view from the front of the caravan is the beach and a vast expanse of water!

Now there are plus and minus to this. If the sun is shining and the sky is blue the view is fantastic but when the rain s pouring down and the wind is blowing a gale, the best place to be is in bed!

This morning was one of those times, it had been pouring down all night and it kept waking us up!

Today is the day we take down the awning and pack up all the card making stuff.

Old Two Legs is good at this and The Missus also has her own ideas on where everything should go!

It’s only the technical bits like taking down the satellite system and DVD player that OTL has the edge on TM!

The ferrets were banned from the caravan while this was going on and spent most of the morning in the back of the car watching the world go by and calling to the birds in the bushes.

Finally all was done and the ferrets came back inside the caravan for a more comfortable snooze!

Now, today is Archie Babes Two Legs birthday, we know that ‘cos TM has told us, in fact she told us last week ‘cos she was making a special card and had to make sue she got it in the post early enough. In fact, OTL was instructed to ‘Get the card down to the post box!’

Which he did!

Now, what we can’t do is to send our birthday song by post, so, on the count of one hundred and twenty six...........5, 7, 126!

Happy Birthday Auntie Massey
Making cards will drive you crazy
Better stick to sniffin’ dog Poo
Happy Birthday to YOOOOOOOO!

We’re going to get Archie Babe to give her a big wet sloppy lick on the nose as soon as she has read our song!

We know how to treat the TL’s!

Tomorrow we plan to leave the camp site around six thirty, just so we can get past all the road menders who have been digging the road up over the last two or three weeks.

We are looking forward to the Chinese Take-a-Way and a bottle of bubbly and Plawn Clackers an deep fried Plawns!

We know how to live!

See you tomorrow when we get to Gretna.

Luv,


McDaisy, MacHolly, McWendy and Eric de MacFerret.

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!
