Truffle Hounds!

 Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret back with you!

Well, here we are, Friday and the beginning of the weekend only it +seems to have lost its sparkle!

Just before we left this morning to go for our morning stroll, the rain stopped. Now that was a good thing 'cos that means we can wash our paws walking through the grass while washing off the mud we had picked up by walking through the muddy bits!

Just before we left home The Missus gave Old Two Legs 'Instructions' and when TM gives 'Instructions' you had better listen!

So, he listened!

The 'Instructions' went like this..........'As you go through the fence into the Old Golf Course you must turn right' she said, waving her left paw. OTL felt he needed clarification and pointed towards her left paw and said 'left?'

'Yus', says TM and carries on, 'Turn left and just a bit further down, on the right, (waving her right paw) you will find a pear tree, pick me some fine pears, ones without wasp holes in them, OK?'

We found the pear tree, chased off a partridge that was making out it's Christmas List and picked three pears without wasp holes in them.

That should keep TM happy!

As we carried on OTL got to telling us about Truffle Hounds who earned their keep by finding and digging up Truffle Fungi. What he also said was that Truffle Hounds could be Woofers but mostly they were pigs!

Holly said she could be a Truffle Hound 'cos she was always looking for food and she didn't like it when I said that she would be great 'cos Truffle Hounds were also fat, just like her!

It was then that the fight started!

We were still talking about Truffles at lunchtime when we headed off to the beach and for the first part of the walk we were snuffling around looking for Truffles!

 

 Most of what we found wasn't Truffles, but rabbit poo, which we reckon tasted like Truffles but no good for OTL!

We found some Fungi hidden in the grass but OTL says that Truffles are buried in the ground and not in the grass.

 

 The ones we found had just poked their heads up out of the grass and looked like they wouldn't taste very nice anyway!

 

 Ones like these are normally found in deep grasses or piles of leaf mould and sometimes grew to be the size of dinner plates!

We got fed up with Truffle hunting in the end and headed into the woods to check on the leaf colours. There was one tree that looked like it was about to loose all it's leaves, well maybe in a week or so.

 

The colours are turning but there is still too much green!

The afternoon was spent looking at the TV and the F1 racing but it was just too wet to go out to play so maybe they will get the practice and the Q1+2 done tomorrow.

Have fun over the weekend!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Poo Dance!

 Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

You know, today has been one of those 'nothing days', nothing much has happened and nothing much was expected to happen.

We got up an hour late, so that means we only got to meet four woofers on our wander around the old golf course!

Back home Eric was up and running about but he did put up a bit of a struggle as Old Two Legs gave him his medicine.

After the cage cleaning both he and Wendy were both tucked up in the small cuddle cup when Eric suddenly jumped up, then dashed down to where the kitchen towel was laid out and did an enormous poo!

It just so happens that The Missus and OTL were standing there watching him and they both started to jump up and down 'cos Eric has done a super big brown ferret poo with the right consistency as well!

You know, it doeswn't take much to keep these Two Legs happy!

Lunchtime was not only gey and overcast but wet and rainy as well.

 You know, it's not the most exciting vista but in the past it has produced one or twwo interesting pictures.

As we walked around OTL spotted fungi sprouting out of the grass and on the path. Sometimes it was just one fungi and other times there were a small gathering of fungi!

 

Come on lads, there is plenty of room up here!


Then when they all start to come up together there is always one TL or woofer that will kick the fungi so it goes rolling off down the hill!

Holly and I found a sniff under the bench and we couldn't work out where it came from so in the end we decided it must be Nargles!


Nargles or Heffalumps?

Let's hope things get a little more exciting tomorrow!

Bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
