Rain Stops Play!

 Hi Woofers!

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

What a day, sunshine then rain and after that sunshine followed by rain! Then to add to it all, a drop of wind that lasted all day!

We were going to move Holly's ashes to the urn today but as you remember, Holly hates wet, so we will postpone the ceremony until tomorrow when we hope it will be sunshine!

We collected the ashes yesterday and they came in the shape of a pillow made from knitted bamboo, looks very pretty and something Holly would have approved of, nothing too soppy and bio degradable!

First thing this morning The Missus took me out for a walk alongside the corn field, harvesting has stopped for the moment 'cos the corn was a little damp from the overnight rain. Maybe tomorrow it will be dry enough, you know, once the sun comes out it doesn't take too long for the corn to dry.

  Busy Busy Today!

 There was a good number of ships and boats out today but they stayed in the middle of the river so they didn't splash me as they drifted on bye!

I was made to wear the harness, not that I mind but when I sneak off for a deep paddle it makes the harness wet and then it's all soggy around my tummy!

I must remember to take this harness off next time!

Once we were off the beach Old Two Legs went into 'Hunt Mode' and was searching for dragonflies but for some reason they were hiding in the trees.

That means all he could find was the odd butterfly!

 

I'm not odd, just exhausted from chasing around after women!

You can tell it's the mating season in full swing, the butterflies are either chasing each other or resting on the flowers getting a drop of nectar before charging off again!

Got any spare nectar mate? I'm knackered!

TM has been all industrial today 'Sorting' I think is the technical term, I call it ' Making More Mess'!

We had some beautiful cards from some lovely ladies, thank you very much for your kind thoughts.

OTL has been messing about with the laptop but he still hasn't been able to unlock the computer keyboard.

Eric is still in OTL's bad books!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

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.
