Another Rock for Christmas!

Hello Woofers!

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

We got woken up early this morning, you know, lights on and stomping up and down the stairs and banging doors and cupboards!

The Missus was off to the Tesco store to be there at six in the morning when it opens to the public.

It really was cheeky, having woken up the whole street she then says to Old Two Legs, 'You going back to sleep for a bit?'

I mean, that was just uncalled for!

Being up so early means the whole walk was in pitch black with just the aeroplanes circling around waiting to go into land at Heathrow!

Lunchtime was interesting, we found another Grain Rock sitting on the park bench.

Warm innit?
The sun was shining and there was a breeze blowing and this rock seemed to think it was mid summer instead of one day past the Winter Solstice!

OTL was considering removing it to a new home but decided that it looked just right where it was, looking out to sea and wondering when the tide was due in so he could go for a swim, or should that be a 'sink'?

You know, rocks don't float!

We kept our eyes open for some more but there was nothing to be seen, maybe they are all getting ready for Christmas Day when they will all be out dancing around on the benches!

We are off to count the presents under the tree to see if there are any more since last night!

Hey! We just heard that Izzy's pups are three today but three of them have got the Grumbly Tum!

All together now......One Two Ninty Seven!

Happy Birthday to you
Have you been sniffin' bad poo
Maybe it was stale Wee wee,
Happy Birthday to Yoooooo!

So, big licky kisses to Izzy, Tommy, Genie and Lady with the Grumbly Tums and  not forgetting Bella and Hamish who haven't got the Grumbly Tum!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly,

Another Damp Day.

Hello Woofers!

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

A Very Happy Winter Solstice to you all!

As from tomorrow the days will be getting longer as Spring comes creeping towards us!

Old Two Legs says that it's interesting that there are so many thing that are celebrated around the solstice, there is Christmas, and Hanukkah. Then there's the Druids down at Stonehenge, they really put on a show as the sunrise climbs over the stone marker. It's all a sort of welcome to the new year!

We were out at the normal time this morning and it was so dark we lost OTL a couple of times! Mind you, we know where we are going so it was only a matter of time before we caught up with him!


There were a couple of woofers charging about the football field and they had these lights on their collars, being so dark we could only see the lights and Holly and I both gave them a good woofing, thinking they were UFO's!

They didn't woof back cos they thought we were a couple of monsters!

We all had a good laugh about that when we finally met up!

It was raining on and off through the day and even at lunchtime there were spots of rain. It was a good job that OTL found a 'Window' in the rain and timed our walk so that there was a little rain at the beginning and then it stayed dry until we got back home, then it started all again!

The afternoon was spent snoozing under the desk in OTL's room, OTL has been reading his book again, 'Relaxing' he calls it, but why does he have to snore!

Tomorrow Holly and I will be writing our letter to Santa Paws saying we have been good puppies all year and making a list of presents we would like! Mind you, Holly's list will be entirely edible!

Some things never change!

We reckon the ferrets will copy Holly and make their list edible as well!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

Wash, Splosh and The Glue Slappers!

Hello Woofers!

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

Yep, we are back again and what a day!

It started off with The Missus getting up at some ridiculous time and waking everyone up!

We were out early for our walk and it was dark when we started and dark when we finished! Mind you, tomorrow it will be the winter solstice which means it will be the shortest day and as from Monday the days will be longer and the nights shorter!

Spring is coming!

Old Two Legs kept his promise and both Holly and I got washed and blow dried then attacked with scissors and electric shaver!

We now look all clean and half way to being bald!

Just like Archie Babe, we got our butt shaved as well!

TM spent the day up with her mates at the village hall doing some last minute Glue Slapping and Glitter Flinging!

I mean what a dodgy bunch they all look!

We tried to pinch some grub but got caught and ejected from the hall!
 Mind you, back home we had a really lazy time, snoozing on OTL's lap while he had a snooze after clearing up all the hair from the floor and putting away all the haircutting tools!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

A good ending to a sad tale.

Hello Woofers!

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

Last night the weatherman had forecast storms and rain and floods an loads of stuff! This morning it was raining, but not much, we didn't bother with our rain coats.

Dark and grey was all we saw this morning, not even a sunrise! There were puddles all over the place and of course there was squidgy mud as well!

When we got to the car park Holly and I walked through a puddle to wash off the mud and then a good shake to get rid of the water!

Back home it was off to the office and under the desk for a snooze!

Lunch time it wasn't any better, only just a little lighter!

As we walked around the path we came across a couple of woofers, one we know and one we didn't.

Old Two Legs was told by the Two Legs that she had taken possession of the new woofer which looked rather bald and a little unsure of it's self.

We all had a sniff but the new woofer growled and then we had a bit of an Arggy Barggy. It seems this little woofer was found lost, mucky and covered in mud. It looks like she had been wandering for some time.

She is, we think, a Bichon Frise, but the hair cut she had has made her nearly bald!

It's going to take a while for her grow it back again but when she does it should make her look a lot better!

Well, we can say that this is one little woofer who is going to have a very special Christmas this year, a warm bed and good food!

We just love happy endings!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Back to a Grey Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a day! It has been threatening to rain for most of the day, the clouds have been building from the South all day.

It looks like rain soon!
 Holly and I didn't hang about much and we were quick on a wee and then home!

We didn't know what Old Two Legs had planned for us, if we did we might have spent more time wee'ing!

Well, while Holly and I were snoozing under the desk OTL was getting stuff out of the shed.

That table that has the metal work onto which OTL hangs harnesses when we have a hair cut!

After setting it all up Holly was first called into the kitchen, lifted up and plonked onto the table.

Then it started, OTL set about giving Holly a good brush and also cut out the hair that had matted at the top of her front legs.

Holly was not happy and set about trying to escape. So, she twisted around and collapsed onto the table and at the same time she tucked her tail under her butt!

OTL didn't stop brushing and I was having fun standing outside the kitchen door woofing at Holly and winding her up!

That was OK except that as soon as he had finished with Holly I was tricked into going into the kitchen and before I realised I had been conned, I was up on the table with my collar being removed!

That's it, I was brushed and clipped and lumps of hair cut out from my legs!

Now, as I was headed out of the kitchen I heard OTL tell The Missus that he was going to give us a wash and haircut!

The things we have to do for Christmas!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

It's the clocks fault!

Hi Woofers!

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

We had some fun this morning. You remember yesterday when Old Two Legs got up too early? Well, yesterday he found some batteries and fired up the clock again and put it on the bedside table.

It looked super, glowing away in the darkness and getting signals from somewhere to tell it what the time is.

So, normal time came and we all headed off to bed. The Missus was first to bed followed by us a little while later after our night time snack!

OTL climbed into bed and was soon snoring his tail off, as normal!

This morning arrived and OTL was still sleeping. TM had got up early and crept out of the bedroom and headed down stairs to finish making Christmas Cards.

She had remembered to shut the bedroom door and in doing so, OTL carried on snoozing, until gone seven!

That was it, out he fell from bed banging his head on the wall!

I went back to sleep under the duvet he had thrown off!

Being so late, we got to the sea wall in time to see the sunrise, not that it was spectacular but we hadn't seen it for some time seeing how we have been getting up at six and walking in the dark!

There you go, it's behind the cloud!
 We walked on a little further and just where we left the Grain Rock the other day. OTL spotted a tree whose leaves had all gone and the bough was bending over making a frame around where the sun was trying to climb up over the clouds, so, clicky click click went the camera and this fell out when we connected it to the computer!

Not bad, maybe he should have lost a bit more foreground?
Now, how about some really good news?

Another four days and it will be the shortest day, or longest night and Spring will be on its way!

We will have a few days of snow followed by a couple of frosty mornings and then sunshine and buds bursting!

Oh, I forgot, there will be Christmas and during January it will be OTLs birthday, so, plenty of warning, we want a really rude and naughty birthday song for him!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

What has he been doing?

Hi Woofers!

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

Today has been a bit of a mystery, let me explain.

Now, normally Old Two Legs wakes up just before six in the morning and staggers out for a shower leaving me tucked up under the duvet he has just thrown over me on his way to the bathroom.

After a while, out he comes all sniffing of shower jell and tooth paste!

Then, once he is dressed we head off for our morning walk.

Not this morning!

OTL wakes up, rolls over to take a look at the clock just to check he isn't late for getting up.

This morning the batteries in the bedside clock have run out of electricity, like, the batteries are flat and instead of a pale green light shining on the dark grey numbers, there is nothing, no numbers, no green light, nuffin!

Now, OTL is a logical sort of Two Legs and reckoned that as The Missus was up and he was awake and feeling bright, then it must be around six. So, off he goes, throws the duvet over me and heads off for a shower believing all is OK.

Oh no it isn't!

After the shower, out he comes and starts rooting through the sock drawer, up comes TM asking if OTL is OK?

Yep, all OK says OTL, then what are you doing up at four in the morning?

WOT?  Four!!!!!!!

That was it, OTL has his socks on and decided that he won't go back to bed, instead he will have a cup of tea and read a book until it's time to go walkies!

Me? I went back to bed and crawled back under the duvet to finish of my sleep!

The Grain Rock was still on the bench this morning but it disappeared when we went past at lunchtime!

This afternoon OTL was off with the both cars to get them washed and cleaned inside as well and then he purchased a big cushion to go in the back of the small car and that replaced the old doggy bed we have been using for the last three or four years!

OTL has found some batteries to put into the clock, so we can expect him to have an early night, followed by a long sleep and wake up at six, providing of course TM closes the bedroom door when she gets up at four thirty!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Hi Woofers!

A Christmas Rock!

Hi Woofers!

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


Ever have one of those days when you wish there was a storm or something going on, just to brighten up the sky? Today has been a little bit like that, I mean, boring or wot!


Old Two Legs has been plonking away on the computer and mumbling all sorts of curses, we think the computer is trying to wind OTL up!

The weather has been boring, lunchtime when we went out we at first thought that the sea had run away, then we realised that it was so calm it was almost the same colour as the sky!


Well, there's not so many wrinkles in the sky!
On our way to the car park we spotted it, there, on the gate post was a Grain Rock!

OTL said it was a picture of Santa Paws with a Christmas Tree tucked under his arm!

We took it and put it on a bench a bit further on and this time OTL decided to put where you couldn't miss it, well, we don't want Santa Paws to get lost!

Ho, Ho, Ho, anyone seen my reindeer?
We got a Christmas card from Auntie Sue and Nunki Mike, we are going to let Eric and Wendy have it on their cage!


Eric was asking OTL if he could have the new cushion, made by Ayoti, but OTL says he wants it for his back!


Given time I reckon Eric will pinch it!


See you tomorrow,


Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!
