Missed the rain again!

 Hello Woofers!

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

Tomorrow we have asked Old Two Legs to take a picture of all the leaves in the back garden, providing it's not pouring with rain!

We have a tree with red leaves and another with green leaves that have turned yellowish with a bit of red thrown in and of course the ivy is still green!

We were expecting the rain to be pouring down this morning but we got away with just some light rain.

Sorry to read that Archie Babe's Two Leg wasn't feeling too good, maybe she has been eating the acorns again?

The Missus has been hanging out the washing today but what with the rain and all that, it seems the washing is wetter than it was when she first hung it out on the line!

Once again, OTL found a 'Window' in the rain and off we went for our lunchtime walk.

With all the rain, the leaves were getting blown off the trees onto the ground where they looked rather pretty.

It may look pretty but it makes your eyes go wobbly!

Even going through the woods, the leaves were still there on the ground. Now, I like colour in the woods, but I prefer Springtime with the flowers rather than the Autumn.


Holly says that she prefers the Autumn 'cos the sniffs are all soggy. You can see that as she tends to hang about sniffing the sniffs while OTL and I have to wait for her to catch up!


OTL likes to play tricks with Holly and I as we head off to the sea front. There are four paths we can choose from and normally we follow OTL as he chooses which path, he fancies taking. 

Today we were ahead of him and took one of our favourite paths that has loads of sniffs on it.

OTL was last in line and today he headed up on the 'Top Path' without telling us. 

So, we wandered along sniffing the sniffs and it wasn't until we came to the point, we had to choose one of three paths that we discovered he was missing!

He wasn't missing really, just hiding behind one of the Two Trees!

I must admit, I had a moment of panic when I couldn't see him but Holly, who had been watching out the corner of her eye, told me where he had gone!

Look, you can see his hat just behind the tree!

That drilling rig, the RAN, is still there, no sign of it moving yet but we are keeping an eye open for any movement.

See you tomorrow.
 
Luv,
 
Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Searching for Squeaky Balls!

 Hello Woofers!

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

Not a bad sort of day today, the sun was out first thing this morning which was quite good as we walked all the way around the old golf course and managed to chase a fox, that we could hardly see, back into the brambles where it sleeps at night.

Back home we headed for our bed while the ferrets were out running about. 

Old Two Legs has a big cardboard box in which he stores the ferrets play things, cardboard tubes, plastic Tesco Bags, squeaky balls and doggy towels. The ferrets hide and fight and play in this stuff and on top of that they hide their squeaky balls as well.

Eric, being a past master at hiding his balls will run off with a ball and hide it under the TV cabinet while Miss Wendy will hide her ball under the sofa.

Today both Eric and Wendy decided to take their balls upstairs and hide them in The Missus card room.

It was when the ferrets went back to bed and Holly and I were let out of the bedroom that we searched for the balls.

It took us ages to find them and it was only when we called OTL into the store room to look under the boxes did we finally locate them. Of course, as soon as we found them, we stood outside the office door and proceeded to squeeze them which always drives Eric up the cage and gets Wendy hissing at him to go back to bed!

OTL had a look at the weather forecast and decided that we should for our lunchtime walk around eleven thirty as he could see a band of rain heading our way!

We saw that the RAN hadn't moved, it was still moored up at Sheerness and had gone back to being parked just above the water.

There were some Two Legs walking back from the fort, being chased back to the sea wall by the tide!

 

 

 Once we got over the hill the wind dropped and the sniffs were still hanging about, it's a woofer thing!

 

Do you think he would be in a better mood if he could sniff what we sniff?

Maybe not!

The leaves are all turning golden and dropping off the trees. The tree in our back garden is covering the pond with leaves of many colours from red to yellow!

It won't be long before OTL will have to empty the pond ready for cleaning before the Winter starts!



See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
