Thanks for all the love.

 Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.

Sorry I missed the blog yesterday; Old Two Legs has been out all day with the laptop doing some 'reprogramming' on a system he installed into a school a few years ago!

I really should have a computer of my own, I'll have to save up all my treats and swap them for laptop!

With Holly leaving us so suddenly we have all been in shock, taking her to the vet with what we thought was an upset tummy and then being told that there was no hope and the kindest thing was to say goodbye there and then.

The Missus and Old Two Legs are pretty upset, as I am, but Holly will be coming back today and her ashes will be going into the big urn in the garden together with all the ferrets who have passed on.

On behalf of us here I want to say a big thank you for the kind words you sent. I think we have more readers than we know!

TM said she had five hundred comments and words of sympathy and seven hundred ticks on her FaceAche page thingy! 

We're not allowed on FaceAche 'cos TM wants it for her glue slapping club and woofers and ferrets sneaking onto her page and leaving 'constructive comments' would not be appreciated, I mean, as if we would!

In the mornings we normally go around the old golf course but there are too many 'Holly Sniffs' still there so we have started a walk alongside the corn field and down by the marsh.

Now, that should be fun when the wet weather comes 'cos the marsh is more like an inland lake and TM has only got half size wellies!

OTL has been bashing away on the computer trying to get a system to work and to celebrate his success, he let Eric out for a run around the house.

Now, if you know anything about ferrets, ferreting around is wot they do best and Eric is a master at ferreting.

He was rampaging around the house, chasing Wendy who likes to be chased sometimes, you can see her slow down when Eric stops chasing her! She has also been known to chase Eric and give him a bonk on the head to attract his attention!

Today Eric is in flying mode, that means he can run around the lounge, half way up the wall, then finish off with a double loop tuck!

You can tell he has been watching the diving or the gymnastics!

Today he did his master piece he went around the office walls, climbed up onto his cage, on the outside, then jumped onto the desk, ran across the laptop computer and managed to lock the keyboard!

Now OTL can't find how to unlock the keyboard!

Now OTL is not the happiest puppy in the litter!

We went down the beach and I managed to get a deep paddle in the water and then had a good roll in the sand to help dry my shoulders!

We are expecting a telephone call soon to tell us Holly's ashes are waiting for us to collect.

Bye for now and again, many thanks for the kind words, Holly would be chuffed to know so many Two Legs care.

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

A sad, sad day.

 Hi Woofers.

It's Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.

Holly Chops hasn't been feeling too well of late and what we thought was a tummy upset never really got any better.

She went to the vets this morning to have a blood test and a scan on her tummy which has been getting bigger over the last few weeks.

Lunchtime we got the results via a phone call, Holly had got a tumour that was very large, encompassing her spleen, liver and kidney.

The vet said that there was nothing she could do as a treatment and maybe it was the best time to let Holly head off to the Rainbow Bridge and wait for us.

We went down to say our good byes while she was still under the knock out drops.

She wasn't in any pain but she had been slowing down, no running and going up stairs was slow and sometimes Old Two Legs had to carry her up in his arms.

Holly came to us when she was a year old, she had been living with Martin and Lisa and the boys, Thomas and Matthew.

Settling in with us was fun, you see she had this idea that any food she saw was hers! OTL soon sorted that out but as far as food or treats go, she was still driven by her tummy!

It took her a little while to get used to the car but once she settled down, she enjoyed trips out, singing our driving songs and blowing raspberries at the truckers as we passed them!

Walks along the beaches were fun but Holly just never got to go in swimming, maybe a paddle but that was it, no further!

It was strange that she didn't mind the snow, rolling in it was great fun but water, no!

Holly's ashes will rest in the big urn in the garden together with the ferrets so, we can always have a chat with her and let her know what is happening. 

  RIP Miss Holly 2009-2021
