A Fun Saturday alone with OTL!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly and Snowflake here again!

Snowflake has been showing off. Old Two Legs gave her some medicine this morning and a slurp of Ferretone and while he was cleaning out her cage, she wanted to be let loose in the office. Now, because of her operation, OTL says that she has got to stay in her house for at least five days before he lets her out to run amoke!

Snowflake doesn't like that and this morning threw a 'Strop'. She just threw all the furniture about, her poo tray went crashing across the floor, her food bowl was almost tipped over and she threw all her bedding out of the bed OTL made up for her!

Then she went downstairs to the other poo tray and did the same!

She was right 'Put Out' was our Snowflake!

OTL said she could show off all she liked but she ain't coming out for another two or three days!

So There!

Snowflake showed off by going back to bed in the fleece and didn't come out again until lunchtime!

What a super sunny day today, makes a change from the rain we have had for the last few days.

A Sun Shiny Morning!

It was still a bit quaggy down on The Sea Wall but we still had a game of 'Chase The Ball'!

This is how it's done!

There was a sea gull looking to land in front of us to grab a bit of food off the path but because OTL was standing there, it just hovered around, which was good for OTL to try to photograph it, even with the sun behind it!

Clear Off, I want that food!

It hung around for a while then got fed up with OTL clicking away, it blew a raspberry at OTL and said it was off to see what else was worth eating!

OK, I'm off!

Back home we had a brush and some super Lambs Heart, then we went up to the office for our 'After Breakfast Snooze'. We said hello to Snowflake but she was already snoozing under OTL's fleece, all snuggly and warm and showy off!

This is the Life!

OTL went out to do a bit of gardening but decided that it was too wet for digging, so he just shoveled some stone chips up then chopped down a bush in the front garden that was getting too big to be called a bush!

Lunchtime we were down The Sea Wall again but this time Holly and I decided we would have a look at the sand hills but OTL caught us before we got too far and instead of getting covered is sand, we got spalshed with muddy sandy stuff that sort of stuck to our legs!

I'm more Yellow than You!

 We were trotting along the wall and suddenly Holly stopped, what was that noise, is it dangerous, has it got teeth and how big is it?

What the.....................?

 She even ran back to OTL for assurance that it wasn't going to eat us! Then we spotted what it was!

Mikes Thing!

 It was one of those Mike Things that he plays around with, he calls them a Kite but the only Kite we know is the Red Kite we have seen flying over the fields near the rubbish tip!

But we needn't have worried 'cos before long it got caught up in the tree and couldn't make any more floppy noises!

Get out of that!

Back home we enjoyed the rugby on the TV and then had a bit of a sing song with OTL and chased the birds off the garden.

Snowflake got her medicine and a slurp of Ferretone 'cos she was a good girl!

The Missus got back form her card making and now we are about to sit down to watch a DVD or something!

So, bye bye for now and see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

(No stroppy Snowflake showing off tonight and she got another slurp with her medicine!)

Back to the Vet for Snowflake and we get WET!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again.

What a Day! Old Two Legs has been rushing around like a Blue Tailed Fly and we had a visitor as well!

First of all we went out for a walk along The Sea Wall, well, it wasn't a walk, rather a paddle! It was pouring with rain, we were swimming, I'm sure we were!

We tried our 'Body Shake' which should get rid of all the loose water on our bodies but today it didn't work, no matter how much we tried!

Gerroff!

 By the time OTL decided to head back to the car we were not very pretty looking, all wet damp and unhappy!

I'm fed up with Wet!

 Back home we had a good rub down and a brush which set us up for our breakfast, Doggy Scoff!

Oh Dear! We decided it really was the day to go back to bed!

A bit later we had a visit from Auntie Andrea who had come to visit and catch up on all the news!

OTL introduced her to Snowflake who very kindly licked some Ferretone from her finger! Thus proving that Snowflake is a Ferret and not a Rat as Andrea has been saying.

We reckon that Snowflake should have given her a nip just for thinking that!

Later OTL had to go out so The Missus took us on our lunchtime walk and Holly spotted a rabbit and chased it all around the bushes. TM didn't see the rabbit and even managed to loose sight of Holly!

So that meant Holly was in trouble!

 I think it's better when OTL takes us out 'cos he understands our Rabbit Hunting needs and keeps an eye on where we are, most of the time!

OTL came back a bit later and took Snowflake down to the vet. Now don't panic, there is nothing wrong with Snowflake, she was just going to have a check by the vet to see how her scar is doing.

Well, she got loaded into her Carry Cage and off they went.

When they got in to see the vet, they saw the one that gave her the Distemper injection which Snowflake remembered was a bit painful and he had held her down by the scruff of her neck as well.

Now, as Snowflake says 'You don't do that to a Ferret and think you can get away with it, we got a memory just like any other animal!'

OTL put the cage on the table and opened the door and called Snowflake to come out. She was a bit slow to come out, so OTL got out the bottle of Ferretone to entice her out.

'Come Here' says the vet, shoving his hand into the cage to drag her out, Silly Vet!

With lightening fast reactions, she spotted who had shoved his hand inside the cage and as Ferrets don't like their space to be invaded she sunk her fangs into the vets hand!

The vet withdrew his hand, quickly, in fact very quickly!

 Yikes! He cried, Aaaa-Haaaaaaah!!!!!!

 'Gotcha!' says Snowflake.

 He was the same vet who stuck that needle into me as well and he was the one who shoved a drainpipe into me to embed a chip into my rump!

 Revenge!

Got any more vets I can taste?

 OTL opened the cap on the bottle of Ferretone and out came Snowflake took a lick and allowed OTL to pick her up, turn her over and allow the vet to examine her tummy!

You just got to know how to handle a ferret!

Back home Snowflake had us rolling around laughing our tails off when she told us the tale and we cheered at the bit where the vet had to let OTL handle Snowflake!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Snowflakes getting better and Holly's on the Run!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here again!

First of all, Snowflake says 'Thanks' to everyone who sent 'Get Well Soon' cards!

She woke up late this morning and overnight had two poo's and another one after her breakfast!

These ferrets are champions at this poo production, shovel loads of it!

She wanted to get out and have her normal run around the office, exploring all the holes and stuff Old Two Legs has under the work surfaces but OTL made her stay in Snowy Heights.

She wasn't too happy about that, so as OTL put her back onto her bed, she turned around and nipped his finger!

You've got to admire her spirit!

OTL has to give her some medicine twice a day, so what crafty OTL does is to put it in the top of her Ferretone bottle cap together with a couple of drops of Ferretone and it only takes five licks and it's all gone!

Snowflake taking her medicine!

OTL has to do a lot better than that to get me to take any medicine and that includes those horrid Worming Tablets!  

We went out this morning and instead of rain there was sunshine! Now that makes a change from snow and windy rain!

We got to The Sea Wall just as High Tide happened and we saw the Surge that happens at high tide. It wasn't very big but you can imagine what it would be like on a stormy day with the wind blowing the wave onto shore, 'Serious Surfing' as Holly would say!

Tidal Surge on The River Medway

OTL and I were playing 'Chase The Ball' and as normal he tried to throw it down the Sea Wall and as normal, it ended up on the beach, but this time I thought I was going to catch it before it went over the edge.

I Missed!

Dog Overboard!

I really shouldn't try to do this ball chasing lark, it really is for Bozo Labradors and Staffy's like this one!

Another Bozo and her Ball!

Holly has been getting into trouble again. She is the one that starts off all the woofing in the house and of course, she is the one that The Missus goes after with the WMD!

Holly was sitting by the front window looking at the world going past when she took exception to a Two Legs that walked past our house. Well, what can a Guard Dog do but to issue the 'Warning Woof, with Attitude'!

That started TM off as well, telling Holly to be quiet, which she didn't, so out comes the WMD and TM marches down the lounge towards Holly.

Holly has been thinking about this and has a 'Cunning Plan'

As soon as TM gets near enough to squirt the water cannon at her, Holly jumps up and runs behind the sofa, sticks her head out of the other end and woofs again!

TM rushes down the whole length of the sofa to get Holly but by now Holly has turned around and legged it back to the window, done a couple more of the 'Warning Woofs, with Attitude' then charges off up stairs to hide in her 'Day Bed' in OTL's office!

Sneaky Holly or wot!

In the office we were in the Day Bed giggling about TM and the WMD when Snowflake stuck her head out from under OTL's fleece and asked 'What does a Girl have to do to get some sleep!

We said 'Sorry' and had a snooze until it was time to go out again!

Snoozing with the sniff of OTL all around her!

Down on the beach Holly was enjoying herself, digging in the seashells at the High Tide mark and she even called out that she was a Beach Babe! I said she looks like a Beached Whale, but I don't think she heard me 'cos she didn't say anything!

A Beach Baby Whale?

We carried on our walk and met up with another of those Bozo ball chasers and as he was on a lead, so, I decided to tease him, by pretending we had a ball in my mouth!

Luk Ir Go' a Bawl here!

Then OTL told us off for teasing him and he woofed at us, the Labrador, not OTL!

Back home Snowflake was awake and moving about, so we asked OTL to take a picture of Snowflakes scar. Well, TM took the picture and OTL held Snowflake!

This is for Auntie Zoe who is into scars, operations and stuff like that!

 It all looks like it is healing well and although it is sore and a little bruised, Snowflake says she is feeling better all the time!

So that's it for today, Snowflake has got some more medicine to take before going back to bed again and we are off for a cuddle with OTL while we watch TV.

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Snowflake gets a Sore Tummy &The Missus gets WMD!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here again.

You will excuse Snowflake today but she is a bit groggy and sore from her operation today and has buried herself in OTL's fleece which she loves curling up in!

As Old Two Legs says 'She's had her Bits Sorted'!

She is sleeping at the moment and we are creeping around trying not to make any noise!

Now, we have a serious problem and need some help.

As you know, we are 'Attack Guard Dogs' and we take our job very seriously. Any small, unexpected noise gets attended to and if we feel that some sort of response is required, we provide the response in the appropriate manner!

Now, sometimes that could be a growl or maybe a small woof and even a Loud Woof. There are times when we judge the response requires it to be a Full Blown, Screaming Howling, Snarling & Woofing  type of warning to everyone who can hear us, TM, OTL The Lady next door and the man who lives down the other end of our street!

As experts in guarding we are left alone to decide on the suitable response, normally.

Last night we judged a 'Situation' was developing and did our normal woofing, The Missus shouted at us to stop, we did stop, that was until it started again, so we Woofed again, loudly.

This time we heard TM advancing from behind and expecting her to join in the Woofing we went back to looking for what we were Woofing at.

Then it hit us, WHOOSH! A nasty, unexpected, cold, damp, wet, squirt of water, right up our tails!

Hey! Wot? Yikes! Retreat, Scarper!

There she was with a WMD............Weapon of Mass Drenching!

Holly was shocked into silence, I legged it up the stairs to OTL!

We thought it may have been an isolated occurrence but today when we were woofing at someone walking past our house, WHOOSH! There it was again, another nasty, unexpected, cold, damp, wet, squirt of water, right up our tails!

TM is getting too accurate with that WMD!

What do we do? How do we get that away from her? Is she trying to take over our Guarding Duties or is it she just wants to play with the re used Shower Cleaner Spray Bottle?

Heeeeeeeelp!

It was just about three forty five that the vet telephoned through saying that Snowflake has had her operation and was in 'Recovery' and doing well!

OTL can pick her up any time after four and he has to get instructions on caring for her 'cos she is bound to be sore!

As you can imagine, we were all happy with the good news and couldn't wait to have her back home.

She was a bit 'Hyper' as OTL calls it, at the vet, she was glad to get out, jus' like me, and after getting her back home OTL gave her the medicine to help her sore tummy.

Then she dug a hole in the folds of OTL's  fleece.

He has folded it up and put it in the bottom of the top floor of Snowy Heights,  and now she is snoozing.

Well she needs the rest and she says she is glad to be back home with us all! 

So, that is it for today, OTL has been working, TM has been attacking us, and Snowflake is out of it all together!

Sorry about the lack of photos today but it has been all sort of hectic!

See you tomorrow and Snowflake has promised to show us her scar and OTL may even photograph it!


Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Busy, Busy!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back with you after a busy day today!

We woke up late this morning, Holly was fast asleep, even after Old Two Legs got out of bed!

I don't know why she was so tired, she spent last night sleeping on the chair with OTL, then she bagged the best spot for and 'After Wake Up Snooze'!

Snoozing as an Art Form!

 And, after all that, she said that she really didn't feel like going for a walk first thing 'cos she didn't have any energy!

OTL insisted, so she struggled out of the duvet and just managed to get downstairs before OTL sent The Missus up to sort her out!

Down on The Sea Wall we watched a ship go by, heading for the docks. On the side was writing saying that it was Sea Cargo. Now don't get me wrong, but what else  could it have been? I mean, you wouldn't put 'Train Cargo' on the side of a ship would you?
 

What about Road Cargo going by Sea?

 Holly was telling a story about meeting up with a big fox when she was a small puppy and being a bit scared 'cos it was about five feet tall and it had a big mouth full of very sharp teeth!

Just as she got to the part about the teeth, there was a rustling in the grass and we both stopped and at the same time said 'Wossat?'

Whaaaaaaa?

I was still a bit nervous even after we saw a pigeon fly up from the grass and I kept looking back to see if anything was following us!

Well, you can't be too careful!

We met up with Sally, we had met her a couple of times before but have never stopped for a chat. This time she was looking out to sea and staring very hard at the water. We thought there was some thing wrong and asked if we could help. 'Well young ladies', she said, 'I lost my ball here last year and I'm looking to see if it is floating on the water'

Holly and I said we couldn't see it and hurried off. We only just made it around the corner before we both burst out laughing!

I lost it over there!

As we got closer to the car, we spotted this very old dog having a sniff. She was a bit shaky on her legs so we didn't rush over to her. Another reason was that she had a big yellow balloon tied to her collar. OTL asked her owner if it was her birthday but they said that she was deaf and it was a good way of keeping track of her. They also said that she was twenty one years old, which in doggy years is very very old!

Lady, twenty one years old!

Back home and next OTL was off doing the rounds with his customers and he didn't get back until late.

Snowflake was telling us some stories about hunting rabbits, 'cos she knows we like chasing them.

She told us how she would sneak through the undergrowth and make sure she was 'Down Wind' of the rabbits.

You creep slowly through the undergrowth!

Then, as you get closer, you get right down onto your tummy and move forward by dragging your body along the ground with just your claws.

It is only when you are less than a couple of feet away from the rabbit, you jump up, run over and sink your teeth into the rabbits bottom!

Jus' Like This!

Snowflake says that the rabbits think it great fun 'cos they think they are so good and spotting anyone creeping up on them, especially clumsy dogs like us!

We thought that was a great tale and then Snowflake told us about this morning when OTL let her out of Snowy Heights. First thing in the morning, OTL clears out Snowy Heights and gets rid of the poo an stuff. While he's doing that Snowflake has a run around the office exploring any new places she can find and then she tries to get OTL to have a game with her.

The way a ferret invites you to play is to do a 'War Dance' then rush up and nip you. Well. it works with other ferrets but OTL's skin is a bit softer than a ferrets and he always ends up with loosing some more blood.

At least now he can make out the difference between a playful nip and an annoyed nippy sort of bite.

A playful nip only leaves two puncture holes but a bite leaves four!

Snowflake in the middle of a 'War Dance'!

OTL says that he would prefer Snowflake uses her tongue rather than her teeth but as Snowflake points out, 'I just get Carried Away'!

Come On, Have a Game!

Another game that Snowflake loves is finding places to crawl into and wriggle along until she falls out the other end. A bit like a rabbit hole or a rats nest!

Now, OTL's trousers seem to fit that description and a few times she has got as far as his shin before deciding that her claws won't dig into flesh like they can on socks, so she backs out!

OTL, being a sneaky Two Legs, has found the perfect protection against this attack by Snowflake!

Curses! Foiled Again by OTL!

See you tomorrow and claws crossed for Snowflake and lets hope her tummy is not too sore!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (How do I get down the top of his trousers?)

Snowflake has been shifting furniture, again!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here again!

This Snowflake is really making herself felt around this household. We started off helping her arrange all her furniture, get the Poo Trays in the correct corners, make sure the water bowls were in the right place, arrange her feeding stations just to her liking and then what?

She moves them all about, on her own and in the middle of the night!

Last night we could hear her crashing about as she shifted the Poo Tray, then she went downstairs and rolled her 'Tinkly Ball' about so it was in another corner, but, instead of just rolling it, what did she do? She kicked it so it bounced off the walls and Poo Tray and Feeding Bowl before it landed in the other corner!

Then she has the cheek to say she has had a hard night and can we keep the barking down a bit?

Well, that was the final straw, I walked off in a huff and when we went down on the beach I took it out on the patch of sand by digging a big hole and pretending it was Snowflakes new home!

If she comes down here I'll.............!

 We came across a fisherman who had caught nothing, so Holly asked if Ferret was a good bait!

Would you do any better with a noisy ferret?

The Fisherman said we were naughty puppy's for even suggesting it and he might just try dog before ferret!

 Back home Snowflake said that she was sorry about the noise but she was rather concerned 'cos she heard Old Two Legs booking her into the vets for Wednesday to be 'Done' and what was this 'Done' thing!

'Ooo' Holly and I said at the same time, you are going to have a sore tummy for a while! We had it done and Holly was OK but I was not a Happy Puppy for a week or two!

So we sat with her for a while and told her it was for the best 'cos it meant we could have fun instead of worrying about all that parent stuff!

Lunch time we asked if Snowflake was coming out again but she said it was too cold, wet and windy, so she would stay in her bed thank you very much!

Down on the beach we were playing 'Chase The Ball' and a couple of times it rolled onto the beach, so I let Holly go and get it 'cos it's the only time she gets to grab the ball!

Come on then, Throw it Up!

 Of course, she didn't and instead, gave it to OTL to throw again!

What's a Ferret and does it taste good?

We met up with a couple of the lads and had a chase around. I was telling them about Snowflake and her furniture arranging and being 'Done' on Wednesday. Wow! says Jasper, 'What does she taste like?'

Holly said that he wouldn't like it and anyway, we're not allowed a nibble 'cos she is 'Family'!

OTL has put some of those Ferret Tubes into Snowy Heights so Snowflake can have a game of Ferreting About.

She has gone up to her 'Day Bed' again but not stayed there, she only went up to have a look at what was going on!

From the top of Snowy Heights she can see the Blue Tit nesting box in the garden and had told us that a bird is going in and out of the box all day!

Holly says it's too early for nesting and Snowflake says the hole is too small for her to get in to have a look, so she will just have to look from the outside!

OTL is busy on the other computer doing something important so I'll go downstairs and see if I can get a carrot from The Missus!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (Can I have a sofa in the corner?)

Snowflake in verse?

Hello Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy, Holly & Snowflake.

Now I know that in some places on this internet thingy wossit, Snowflake has gained some sort of notoriety, I mean, pages of Facebook stuff all talking about her but I mean, she is only a ferret that has fallen on her paws!

Now I am told, she has an 'Ode' dedicated to her! A Ferret Ode! You can read it in it's entirety on Sams Blog :-

 http://samshomecookeddesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/an-ode-to-ferrett.html?showComment=1359179246954#c2120876839851354912

An absolutely super little ditty on the trials and tribulations of 'Ferret Finding'

Holly says that Snowflake could do with some 'eau de ferret toilette'!

I think she has a 'Warm Musky Sniff' about her myself, Snowflake that is, not Holly!

Being Sunday, we all had an extra hour in bed, except The Missus who was up at the crack of dawn to get a card or two put together before breakfast!

We went for our walk along The Sea Wall but on the way there the Heavens opened up and the rain just poured down. We thought that it was going to be a very short walk and a wet one but when we got there it had dried up!

Here comes the sun!

 Holly said that she was not sure it would stay dry and kept looking towards the horizon!

I'm not too sure about that rain!

Old Two Legs said that the clouds were going away from us but Holly was not convinced 'cos as she says, 'She doesn't Do Rain and Wet Stuff!'  

There goes the Rain!

I thought that it would be fun to chase after the ball and instead of rushing into the grass as normal, this time I tried to bury it the sandy patch on the beach, just to wind up OTL!

I bet he won't find this one!

What I didn't count of was Holly saying to OTL, 'It's on The Beach!' She can be a real Sneak sometimes!

A bit further on she was getting worried 'cos she could see another shower over on the Isle of Sheppy, but OTL said that one would miss us, and it did, just!

Look, there's another one!

 Back home we got served 'Doggy Scoff' but Snowflake got a big bowl of Raw Chicken, just as she likes it!

Lunch time the sun was shining again but there were still some showers on the wind, well Holly said she could sniff the rain on the wind!

I had a brilliant idea and while OTL was fetching the ball off the beach I told him of my idea!

Hey! Let's take Snowflake out for a run!

We got Holly over and told her about my idea and she said it was about time Snowflake got some fresh air!

Back home OTL got Snowflake dressed up in her harness and we called The Missus to get her camera and take some photo's of us all!

Snowflake was a little worried 'cos she hadn't been to the football ground before but we said it was where we went as puppies!

So, before long, Snowflakes carry cage was put on the ground and the door opened up. Slowly, very slowly, Snowflake came out of the cage and said, 'It's Big out here!'

Wow! It's Huge Out Here!

 Holly and I got let off out leads and went for a chase while Snowflake took a look around. She was a bit nervous 'cos there was so much space! She said it looked like you could get lost before ever reaching a fence or bush!
 

Does it go on forever?

 Holly came back and said we should all go for a run around the field but Snowflake whispered in her ear that she was a little scared and wanted to stay close to her cage, just in case.

I'll stay here if that's OK and I've got the squeaky toy as well!

 Holly said she understood and said she would keep a watch out for other doggies and Pussy Cats!

 

Thanks Holly!

 We had some fun with Snowflake running around the carry cage and shiffin the grass. Snowflake said it was a bit soggy under her paws and this green stuff tickled her tummy!

It was then that Holly forgot that Snowflake wasn't a dog and had a quick sniff.

 It made Snowflake jump and she ran back to OTL and said that Holly was sniffin her tail!

OTL! Holly just sniffed my tail!

 With that she dived back to her cage and dragged her blankets back in with her, just so she could feel safe!

I feel safe with my blanket!

 Holly said she was sorry but it's a sign of friendship really!

It was then that OTL put Snowflake on top of her cage and she had a look around the field.

I can't even see the edges of the field!

It wasn't long before the battery ran out in TM's camera and she didn't have a spare one with her! So, back home we go and Snowflake had a slurp of Ferretone, just as a celebration of her first trip to the field.

We will go back again and then she will get more used to the open space! So watch out for more outings for Snowflake!

Who knows, maybe Sam will make another poem about it all!

If you go down to the field today,
your in for a big surprise,
If you go down to the field today,
you won't believe your eyes,

You know, summat like that!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake.

Sunshine & Flowers, and it's only January!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here again.

We were all up late this morning. Last night Holly felt the need to go out for a wee a couple of times. The first was about three and the second was four thirty! Old Two Legs got the job of letting her out both times as The Missus just 'Helped' him out of bed with her elbow!

So, around nine this morning we all woke up, except TM who was downstairs doing something with her cards!

OTL got an email from Peter C, another ferret owner who suggested putting the hammock up on the top ceiling of Snowy Heights.

OTL and Snowflake discussed it and then up it went. At first Snowflake was a little unsure but with the enticement of a spot of Ferretone to lick off the cap, Snowflake was up there like a shot!

OK, send up some more Ferretone please!

 She has decided to call it her 'Day Bed' just like us!

 Holly and I went off for our walk along The Sea Wall, Holly dived off into the grass and declared that she could sniff rabbits and wouldn't it be a good idea to bring Snowflake down for a 'Ferret About' to get the rabbits running out of their burrows so we can play 'Chase' with them!

I sniff rabbits and I have an 'Idea'!

 I said we should have a chat with OTL about that and of course, Snowflake!

 It was super along the beach, the sun was out and there was hardly any wind and on top of all that, it was warm!

Almost Spring!

 We were having fun chasing the ball and as normal, OTL had trouble throwing it straight and as normal, it ran down the beach and went 'Plop!' Straight into the sea!

Well, what could I do? In I went, up to my tummy and fetched it out! My first dip in the sea this year!

This makes your Bits cold!

 Back home for a brush and some Lambs Heart, then a snooze until lunch time!

 When we got back, Snowflake was still in her 'Day Bed' but woke up as soon as we got back, mainly because Holly was barking so much!

This bed ain't half bad you know!

 Lunch time we were out again but OTL stopped at the local church and took some pictures of the church, mainly because there were daffodils starting to bloom, in January!

Now this global warming, everyone else gets snow, ice and cold winds. What we got is warm balmy breezes, sun shine and blooming flowers!

All Saints Church, Allhallows.

Down on the beach we played 'Chase the Ball' again and Holly even played a joke on OTL, she pretended she was going to kick the ball down the steps, so OTL stayed on the beach while Holly kept calling out, 'On your head OTL!'

Ready? On yer 'ead OTL!

Finally OTL got the ball but he was still on the beach. We called for him to throw the ball and he said that if we wanted it, we should 'Come and get it'!

I tried, I woofed at him, then he showed me the ball and I even tried to grab it with my paws!

OTL says 'Wannit?'

Finally he threw it and we got to chase it again down the Sea Wall!

We were having a sniff when above us we heard 'Hi Girlies!' It was Barney bounding down the hill, we hadn't seen him for a while, 'Too Cold' was his excuse, 'Had a wee and a Poo in the garden then back inside to the fire!

Hi Girlies, Remember Me?

Back home and this time it was Snowflakes turn to go out. She was dressed up in her harness and OTL had re engineered the lead Holly brought with her when she came to live with us. Then she went out into the garden for a run around. It was a bit scary 'cos she has spent some time inside all comfortable and suddenly seeing the outside world again got her a bit worried! OTL stayed with her but she was very nervous, so OTL opened the kitchen door so she could go back in doors. Trouble was, Holly and I were standing on the carpet inside the door and we came nose to nose. Snowflake was as surprised as us and thought we were monsters going to eat her, so she nipped me on the side of my nose, which made me jump back with a yelp!

All was well, OTL picked her up and soon she was back in the office having a calming slurp of Ferretone!

So now she has had another run around in the office and retired to bed for a snooze before OTL wakes her up to be introduced to Stuart, who is visiting tonight.

So, that is today's fun and games, OTL says the next thing we will have to do is find a big field for Snowflake to have a run around without getting into trouble!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly and Snowflake (Snoozing)
