High Tides and Wind!

Hello Woofers!

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


Yes, here we are again, still with our paws on the ground! Didn’t fancy the idea of floating away in the wind like a kite! Mind you, we have some Marsh Harriers down here but no Kites, except to very occasional one passing through!

It was still blowing this morning and in the wind was this horrid rain. Now on its own the rain wouldn’t trouble us at all but because it had some wind behind it, it got right through to our skin!

And that includes Old Two Legs as well!

Like Archie Babe, we didn’t hang about a quick ablution and we were off back home.

There were some trees blown over but nothing to worry us, we just zig zagged around the edges and missed all of them!

Lunchtime the tide was in and it was right up the sea wall, the beach had disappeared and I definitely did not fancy going in for a paddle!

Normally that's all sand and sea weed but not today!
 Holly reckons that if the wind was blowing the other way we would have sea water splashing all over the se way!

I ain't going anywhere near the edge, I might get blown into the Medway!
The fence panel down the bottom of the garden has taken up flying lessons and has managed to get airborne and across next door garden and over the wall! 

A couple of new fence panels have been delivered today and it looks like OTL will be helping to install them tomorrow!


Let's hope the wind will have dropped tomorrow or we will get an OTL pretending to be a kite!

OTL says he can sympathise with Aunty Sue and Michael not being able to find the car in Milton Keynes, it’s dangerous getting out of your car. OTL did that once and ended up being chased by some concrete cows!

Mind you, that was a long time ago!

He did once get lost in the car park at Blue Water, well, he didn't get lost, it was the car that got lost and OTL couldn't find it until he went back into M&S and exited through another door!

While we were out walking at lunchtime a Two Legs with a woofer stopped OTL and said that a ferret had been found and had been taken to the local vet and was it ours?

Would we lose Eric like that?

No Never!

Mind you, if the owner can’t be found we reckon OTL might be asked to look after it, well, it’s happened before, remember Twinkle?

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

No Sniffs thank you!

Hello Woofers!

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

Now, I bet you were wondering where we had gone?

Let me tell you!

On Friday we were rushed out for a wee and a poo along the Sea Front, as normal but not normally with such haste!

Instead of retiring to our beds we were shoved into the back of the big car together with a load of craft stuff that The Missus normally takes up the village hall, only, we didn't go to the village hall and instaead we headed off onto the motorway!

It turns out that TM had booked a weekend away at a 'Retreat' where the do a load of glue slapping and glitter flinging!

So, there we were on the way up to Milton Keynes, a place Old Two Legs says he was always confused trying to find an works address when he was on the road as a sales rep.

Well, it didn't look too bad, but then, I wasn't driving and true to his word, he got confussed a couple of times before finding the Coinference Centre!

That was OK, off we went back home and because of the traffic jams on the M1 we didn't get home until late!

That's why we didn't blog on Friday!

Saturday comes and OTL get's a message from TL saying they were being thrown out of the Centre!

Well, says OTL, you shouldn't go on the booze and start making a nuisance in the building, running up and down the corridors and singing rude songs!

TM said she hadn't done that yet, but they were being thrown out 'cos a plane load of people were coming in from China and needed to stay in the hotel for two weeks quarantine to see if they had got that Coronavirus!

Well, we didn't want TM to get any of that stuff, so, off we went, all the way up to Milton Keynes to pick up TM and all her crafting stuff!

By the time we got back home it was just too late to upload a blog 'cos we were just too tired!

In two days we had driven four hundred miles and sat for ages in traffic jams on the motorway, boring or wot?

So, that's what happened yesterday!

Today the storm arrived and we got soaking wet, blown all over the place and got a bit worried 'cos the trees all sounded like a jet engine taking off!

When we got to the sea front, expecting high tide but instead of water up the sea wall, it was still out on the mud flat, the wind had pushed it back out to sea!

In the end we headed back home for a rub down with a Doggy Towel then back under the desck for a well earned snooze!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

P.S. We have lost the Spellcheck on this thing, so pleese hexcuss any speeling mistooks!

Sunrise and a Sore Paw!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, we were up around our normal time and off down to the Sea Front. Mind you, Old Two Leg had to scrape the ice off the windscreen before we could get going!

We managed to catch a sunrise today!

It started off with the sun hiding below the horizon, so, we started of with the Bench & Poo Bin!

Wot a Classic Shot!
By the time we got to the sea shore you could tell that the sun wasn't too far away from climbing over the horizon and not a cloud to be seen, which would have been good to add a little of the 'Dramatic Effect'!

You can just see the very first bit of the sun!
It only took a few minutes for the sun to fully climb up and a few minutes more and it was just too bright to photograph!

...................and finally a whole sun!
Now, as I said, it was frosty this morning and before we went into the forest, the field was covered with frost. It was good to get off the grass cos that always makes your paws cold!

Frosty!
Talking of paws, Holly was limping a little and OTL reckons it is the bandaging on her paw being a little too tight but after removing it and after a half an hour she was all back to normal and bouncing along!

We had to put some more medication on her wart and with OTL being as careful as he can be, Holly now has a re bandaged leg and is walking as per normal!

Now all we have to do is get rid of that wart and OTL thinks that it may be a 'Knife Job' in the end!

Bang goes the savings, again!

Lunchtime OTL had a good look at the wart and it looks like the bandaging stuff is rubbing on the wart making it look sore. So, what to do.

OTL has an idea!

Instead of trying to cover up the wart and stop Holly from licking it, why not make it difficult for her to get to it?

So, back to the vet and after spending loads of dosh we are now at this stage.......I wonder if it will work?

Not Happy, Not no how Happy in fact I'm showing off, Big Time, the one thing I'm not is Happy!
 I think that Holly has gone off OTL!

Still she will get a respite 'cos the collar will be removed so she can have a drink and a bite to eat, but afterwards, it goes back on!

I'm not laughing, honest!

Hey, before we go, on the way back to the car park we spotted another Rock!

I normally eat spiders but I don't fancy that one!
Well, that's it for today, I'm off to get some food and then I think I will stand in front of Holly and lick my lips!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!
