Warts and All!

 Hello Woofers!

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

Seems young Archie Babe is going to get 'de-warted' today! Now I've never been de-warted but I reckon Old Two Legs will bless me with the cone if I did. Only because I'd have a go at nibbling the vet for getting anywhere near to my warts!

Eric was telling me that when he was down the vets to get his tumour frozen, we met up with a woofer Shiatzu who just loved wearing the cone!

Daft woofer, thought it made him look important wearing that thing!

Lunchtime we met up with Bob and his mates. Bob had been in for a dip but we missed it 'cos the tide was going out! 


 

 Bob the Damp Doggy!

 Old Two Legs was more interested in a bloom he spotted. Now these things were the size of a golf ball!

  Not seen these before!

 Then we saw a fly that looked all worn out and was having a rest on the concrete.



Holly says it's a Flesh Fly!
Although there was a breeze blowing it was still hot and Holly was gently plodding along while I went off looking for a swim!


There are times when I could do with a rest!

 Holly reckons there will be some thunderstorms soon which normally come after the hot weather. At the first sign of a flash, you can bet OTL will be up there with his camera and tripod. One looking out of the bedroom window and another out of the office window!

 

Boom!

 

See you tomorrow.

 

Luv,

Another warm one!

 Hi Woofers!

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

Another really warm day today. Not sure what the temperature is but it sure has been hot!

The morning walk always leaves us with wet tummies but an hour’s snooze under the curtains dries us off a treat!

Old Two Legs managed to get all the paperwork sorted today, now all he has to do is file them away, dead boring but it will keep him busy tomorrow morning after cleaning the ferret cage!

Yesterday the bandage fell off Erics paw and on inspection this morning we can see the scab forming where the vet did the freezing thingy.

You know, these vets are dead clever you know, well that's what they say they are!

Eric gets some anti-biotic in the morning and a pain killer in the evening all of which seem to be doing him well. He isn't worrying his paw in face he seems not to notice it at all. Unlike me who was nibbling away as soon as we got home, but that was years ago!

OTL had notification that Holly and I are due for worming tablets as well as our yearly Distemper jabs. 

The only problem is, the vets are so busy and are so behind with the run of the mill stuff like the jabs that they are running ten weeks behind!

So, we get the worming tablets on Wednesday but have to wait until October before we get the jab!

It's a good job we don't have to wait that long for a wee or a poo!

The wild flowers are doing well and the leaves on the trees are looking great.

Looking over towards Sheerness we saw that the tide was out, so, no swimming today!

Looking back towards Southend on Sea there was a sort of sea misty fuzzy thing due to heat haze, well, that's what Holly says it is!

Well, you can call it a heat haze but it looks more like out of focus to me!

Along the sea front there was a gentle breeze blowing to keep us cool. Mind you, it was enough of a breeze to keep the bugs sheltering in the long grass, so we didn't get any shots of beetles or dragonflies!

Maybe tomorrow we will get lucky!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
