Another Busy Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back with you.

Well, first thing this morning we went trooping down stairs with The Missus and got let out into the back garden.

The Snow Fairy had visited over night!

It wasn't very deep and it looked rather wet and sloshy and to be honest, we've seen better!

Soggy, Soggy, Soggy!
We got dragged out for our morning walk but half way around Holly did her famous 'Stuff This For a Walk' and headed for home with her tail in the air!

Stuff this, I'm off!


Followed closely by me then Old Two Legs!

It was YUK!

Back to a good rub down and a breakfast of Chicken and Biscuits!

Snowflake got let out and as normal, ran amok in OTL's office and at one time was chasing him and pretending she was going to bite him! She didn't, it was just her way of having fun at OTL's expense!

Lunch Time came and out we went again, it was still raining and the snow was disappearing fast, leaving the ground all wet and very soggy!

This is still wet and soggy! 

 We were trotting along behind OTL when I looked up and caught OTL's eye, I asked.......




...........are you Really enjoying this?

Holly managed to spook a couple of rabbits but she was too far away to catch them!

Back home to another rub down and off for a snooze in the office and a chat with Snowflake about what we have been doing!

We told her about the folded snow we had seen on OTL's car, it was the first time we had seen snow like that!

Strange Snow!
OTL left us on our own this afternoon, well, alone with TM anyway!

When he came back, he tried creeping in the front door but we heard him and we set up a woofing while he was scratching the bottom of the door, so with him scratching and us woofing we had a good laugh before he got through the door!

Tonight we are expecting Snowflake to be up for a chase around the office, if she can stay awake!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Snowflake starts 'Bonding' with OTL's Sneakers!

Yo Hoo Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here with you!

The weather has been a bit 'Grotty' today but it hasn't stopped us from going out for our walks, this mornings was a bit drafty but at least it didn't rain, that came later!

There were some interesting sniffs and one in particular, we spent a good five minutes enjoying that one. Holly reckons it was definitely a Feb 2013 with a hint of Jan 2013 mixed with hint of Sept 2012!

She has got a better nose than I have when it comes to sniffs like this!  

Mmmm and a hint of Smokey Bacon on Toast!
 While we were sniffin a Sea Gull passed by and called out 'Hello Four Legs!'

Hello!
 Back home to a brush and some Doggy Scoff, but this was some different scoff, strange sniffin but we decided to leave it until a bit later, just in case!

We went up into the office and found Snowflake messing about on the desk top. She had found Old Two Legs mug he had left. She had a sniff and decided she liked the taste of sugar at the bottom, so in she went and licked it up, until OTL caught her and took the mug away! Not before Holly had left some graffiti on the mug!

Why is everyone laughing, I think it tastes OK?
Then she went off checking everything else out. First of all there was OTL's new computer, small but perfectly formed, just like Snowflake!

Mmm This is New!
Then she went on a 'Full Scale Investigation' which means every part of the room must be sniffed and sorted! She even had a sniff of the fresh air and of course when she did that OTL thought she wanted a run out in the garden!

Mmm, fresh air, Yuk!
Well that will teach her! OTL gave her a slurp of the Amber Nectar (Ferretone) and while she was away in Cloud Cuckoo Land, he slipped on the harness all ready for her!

Down we all went to the garden and when OTL put her down on the ground she went wobbly!

You could see she was having a bit of a panic, all this fresh air and space and wet and cold and damp and old spiders web and mud and please take me back in OTL!  NOW!

We were inside looking out the window!

So, after a little while OTL picked her up and brought her back inside, her heart was beating away much faster than normal, so OTL decided that she was in need of a calming slurp!

After that Snowflake got back to investigating the 'Inside World'!

'ere, Wot's this sniff?
 First of all she found OTL's sneakers, not the best sniff we have every sniffed, but you can't tell a ferret what not to sniff!

It gets worse down the bottom!
So down she went and got close to what Holly and I call 'The Death Zone'. That's the part where you need oxygen to survive, it's a bit like climbing Everest!

Well, the further in she went the more trouble she got into and before you know it, she had rolled over onto her back with her rear paws in the air!

Help!

Holly and I laughed, OTL had to drag her out and it must have taken a good three minutes before her eyes stopped rolling around her head!

These can be lethal!
 It was then that she went back to hiding her toys!

In you come Squeaky!

 After lunch OTL decided to get some petrol and off we went but the local garage was charging too much for petrol, so we went into town and saved a whole 4p a litre!

Of course, we jumped up and down to go to The Forrest, we hadn't been there for ages and demanded a visit!

Really we shouldn't have bothered. It started to rain, big drops of rain, the ground was knee deep in mud and there was even mud on top of the mud that was on the muddy path!

Holly had to be put on the lead so that OTL could make sure she didn't run back to the car!

Whose stupid idea was this?
 We even saw a massive great branch that had fallen off one of the trees, Holly reckons that it must have made a mighty crash when it landed!

That's a BIG branch!
When we got back to the car Holly showed off by sitting on the parcel shelf  and grumbling about her wet tummy!

I'm wet, my Tummy's wet, my Tails wet, I'm wet all over!
 I must admit, I thought that Holly might have a point and I even said so to OTL!

I'm a bit wet as well!
Back home we both had a wash and dry with a clean towel, then into our day beds for an after noon snooze before dinner!

All in all, a fun Sunday and we're looking forward to a cuddle tonight while OTL finises off the last of the Shortbread. (I had a nibble last night when Holly wasn't looking!)

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake!

Super Saturday and Snowflake's OK!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again!

How's your Saturday? We've had some fun and games here. First of all Old Two Legs thought he was going to get a extra hour in bed this morning, No Chance!

As soon as The Missus got up we followed her down stairs and out for a wee, then straight back up to let OTL know that it was Saturday!

We jumped up onto the bed and gave his ear a good licking, then Holly offered to share her chew with him and tried to store it under the pillow OTL was using! That was it, OTL got up and wandered off to the bathroom for a shower!

It was a good job we got him up early 'cos Snowflake had an appointment with the vet this morning!

Out we went for our walk and bumped into a Spaniel who said he had lost his ball and could he have ours.

Cheeky Woofer! OTL kept our ball in his pocket until the Spaniel had gone off with his owners!

Gissa a Ball!
 We had fun with OTL throwing the ball and Holly and I chase after it and at one point, Holly jumped up and the ball bounced on her nose and it went off onto the beach.

Could I find it? No I couldn't, I stood for about five minutes looking and it was only when OTL turned up did we find it!

Well, I can't see it!
 Back home we decided to wake up Snowflake and get her ready for the vet! Snowflake was still half asleep and would have rather gone back to snoozing but we did our 'Wake Up Woof' which woke her up!

She was a bit Grumbly, but we didn't take any notice! 

I'm supposed to get eight hours sleep every night!
Soon she was out of her bed and was running around the office clearing up all her toys. After putting them all away, she would go off exploring and while she was doing that, OTL got all her toys out and spread them around so, back came Snowflake and she put them all away again!

First, Diddly Duck is put away.
 Then the squeaky toys are put in the travel cage, there were so many toys that there was no room for Snowflake!

.....and here's the Last One!
After all that she needed a drink!


Thirsty work!
After cleaning out Snowy Heights, Snowflake was put into the Travelling Cage and Holly was clipped onto the lead. Off they went to the vet.

I was glad to be left at home, I don't like that vet place, it always hurts and OTL always cries!

The result of the visit was, Snowflake is all OK and her operation scar is healing up well and she can go out for a walk when the weather gets warmer.

Holly has lost a bit of weight 0.01kg!

I mean 0.01kg, I've pooed more than that!

OTL wasn't charged any more, so he didn't cry!

Back home we all had a good laugh about Holly's terrific weight loss and I suggested that we tie a string around her nose to prevent her from eating!

Holly sulked, then she wandered off and went to sleep on OTL's bed saying that the scales were wrong!

Poor Holly, she has got to do more 'Not Eating' if she's going to get slimmer!

OTL said we can go out for a walk along the Sea Wall again before the rain set in, so off we went in the car, singing our driving songs!

We met up with another Spaniel who was really unsure about what OTL was carrying!

'ere, What is that you got there?
 We told him that OTL was harmless and he always carried the camera!

 We met up with Oscar and his mate again and had a chat about the lack of good sniffs along the Sea Wall. 'I blame the weather' says Oscar, too much rain and puddles! 

What we need is Good Sniffs!
 While I was chatting to Oscar, up came his mate and sniffed my tail! Well, I told him that if he didn't get his nose from under my tail, I would chew his tail off!

Your on a five millisecond warning!
 Off they went and we carried on. Holly said she saw a whale splashing about off the shore but it turned to be one of those Bozo Labrador dogs chasing the sea gulls!

He is going to get hosed down when he gets home!
 Being that it is Saturday, OTL will have some shortbread tonight, so, I'm going to be very good and maybe I'll get a nibble!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

It's Friday and here comes the Weekend!

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here with you again.

We have been out with Old Two Legs for most of the day. We did our morning run along The Sea Wall and spotted a couple of Marsh Harriers gliding overhead, of course, as soon as they saw OTL get his camera out, they cleared off!

Bye Bye OTL!
The game of 'Chase The Ball' was cut short 'cos Holly found this super Sea Side Sniffin Interest!

You Two Legs know it as a S.S.S.I!

'ere it's a S.S.S.I!
Then we went back to Ball Chasing!


Guess wot I want?
Back home and it was a bowl of liver, pigs liver, not really our favourite, in fact it was delivered by mistake and The Missus reckoned it was really too good for us, or as we put it, 'It's a bit too Strong for us!'

After that OTL tried to sneak out but he wasn't going to escape us this time!

Off we went and stood guard over his tools while he did a job at one of his customers. Then after that we had to deliver some stuff but we couldn't get hold of the man, he wouldn't answer his phone!

With that, OTL took us to a place called Capstone Park and found some super large fields we could go for a run in, it was great, loads of space, almost as much as yesterday!

There was one teeny weeny problem.

The ground was a little muddy and it was that sort of mud that sticks to your paws and won't fall off!

It also sticks to the bottom of OTL's paws as well!

I reckon we had about an inch of mud under out claws, which made it a bit funny to run with!

Later we went down to one of our most favourite shops, Pets is Uzz!

The sniffs in that place you could die for!

They even had Rabbits and Hamsters and other stuff that would make a super snack for Snowflake and us!

OTL had to buy a special bag to put it all in 'cos the plastic one they supplied broke!

Back home it was great sniffin it all before TM put it away in our cupboard. We were deciding what to have tonight for a 'Treat', well, it is Friday!

Tomorrow Snowflake has got to go to the vet for a checkup and OTL says that he will take Holly with him just to see how much she has lost in weight after being on this strict diet.

Holly reckons she has lost a couple of ton but OTL and I aren't too sure about that!

The scales don't lie and depending on what they say tomorrow will depend on whether or not Holly gets a treat tomorrow!

You will be pleased to know that the new computer is slowly doing what it's told, well, OTL isn't shouting at it so much!

Snowflake had her claws clipped this afternoon as well!

It was a job that OTL has not been looking forward to 'cos she is all wriggly and likely to give OTL a nip if she thinks he is hurting her!

It has cost OTL a gallon of Ferretone but he has managed to get them done. Now he has got to get the clippers to work properly!

Snowflakes claws are slim and really tiny but they are sharp and pointed at the same time so the clippers have to be sharp and cut without tearing the claw or that would hurt her!

Tomorrow, after the vet, Snowflake is going to get a walk on some concrete or paving slabs to tidy up the claws after OTL has cut them!

Guess what? Snowflake got a squeaky ball as a present and she has been playing with it in 'Snowy Heights', she has had it in her SsssH bed and thrown it down the hole between floors and she has been making it squeak every time she buries her fangs into it!

Best bit about Snowflake is that this morning, OTL was clearing out her cage  as he normally does and her 'Purpose Designed Poo Pot' that she has taken to sleeping in, OTL folded up a small hand towel into the diamond shape so it fits into bottom of the Poo Pot to make a small bed for her.

What does she do?

Yep, she drags the towel out, throws it onto the floor, climbs back into the Poo Pot and falls asleep!

That is one strange Ferret!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Rush Rush Rush and that's the Day Gone!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here again!

You know, I started off life with The Missus and Old Two Legs being the only doggy in the house. I had almost total attention to my every need, I got brushed, fed, watered, cuddled, worried over, poo inspected, butt wiped when needed and washed when it got too much!

Then Holly arrived and I had to share everything. Which when you consider that she's my sister, it ain't too bad 'cos we have loads of games and she is there for a chat if TM and OTL are busy doing 'Two Leg' things!

Then Snowflake lands in our garden and things change again. We have to share some of our toys and she gets some of our chicken wings or legs, which we don't mind donating 'cos it must be terrible to be hungry!

OTL keeps a careful eye on us and Snowflake 'cos he says that we are a danger to each other 'cos we might just snap and do each other harm! Not that we would mean to, it's just a sort of natural reaction, as OTL can testify 'cos he has had his hand felt by all our teeth over the time we have been here!

We get to go on adventures, like today down the park. When we get the all clear from the vet, Snowflake will be able to come as well and that will be great fun!

Now today we have  been out for our run along The Sea Wall and of course, woofed at OTL to 'Throw The Ball'. He said that he didn't have it and it was lost!

Silly OTL, we could sniff the rubber ball in his pocket so when he said he didn't have the ball all I said was 'Talk To The Tail'

Talk To The Tail!
Today has been a very busy day for OTL, first of all he had to deliver some stuff to his customers, then down to the repair shop and pick up his big car after they had put some solid gold parts into the workings, well, OTL said that amount they charged him the bits better had be 22 carat gold!

Then we had a couple of hours to kill until he could pick up his new computer. So off we went to the park. It was enormous, it had a couple of big lakes and a golf course, or 'Pitch n Putt' as OTL calls it but whatever they call it, it had sand pits!

Sand pits turned out to be called 'Bunkers' and were part of the game but Holly and I had a great time chasing each other into the sand and digging holes!

OTL was going potty chasing us and filling in the holes after we jumped out to go to the next sand pit!

I reckon we should have them on our beach instead of wasting them on the grass in the park!

There was loads of space to run and chase about and OTL was able to throw the ball as hard as he wanted and not have it go into the lake!

So, now he is up stairs playing about on the new computer trying to get it all working again, ready for tomorrow!

As you have worked out by now, we didn't get many pictures to show you today, unless you want to see a picture of a computer or some nuts and bolts from the car! (Seriously Boring!)

Fingers crossed for OTL and we'll be back tomorrow with more tales of mischief!

Bye bye for now,

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Computer Problems so Heads Down Girls!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again!

We were a little naughty last night, well, Holly was, but I joined in as well!

Around two in the morning, Holly has a real need for a wee, so she did what she always does, she marches down to the kitchen door and does one of her 'Wee Woofs'. The Missus heard her and did what she always does, elbow Old Two Legs and says 'Holly's Barking'!

Down goes OTL, bouncing off the walls and lets Holly out.

Back to bed and settle down for some more sleep.

Around Three Thirty, Holly gets the twinges again, and 'Woof' she goes.

TM sharpens her elbow and manages to crack OTL's ribs again and says 'Holly's Barking'!

Down goes OTL bouncing off the walls again but this time clutching his crumpled rib cage and groaning with the pain.

Out goes Holly and this time I've come down for a wee as well. Holly doesn't want a wee, she has a tummy ache from eating something not on today's menu!

Back to bed to give OTL's ear a lick for letting us out and to give TM a kick for being so cruel to OTL!

Naughty TM!

We went on our morning walk and the wind seemed to be blowing from the North, Holly thinks it is going to get colder and I agree! It didn't stop us from having fun chasing the ball and this time Holly joined in the fun.

How deep are we going?
First of all she helped me dig a hole to bury the ball in so OTL couldn't find it!

Whoops! It's jumped back out!
Then as I dropped the ball into the hole, she was digging the sand out and at the same time threw the ball out! Then she picked it up and ran off with it, leaving me to dig the hole on my own!

Mine! All Mine!
 Back home, OTL was mumbling under his breath about the computer 'Throwing a Wobbly' and he was trying to get it to do something or other. It's best to leave him on his own when this sort of thing happens, he normally fixes it but it's the fixing that seems to cause the problems!

Lunch time and we certainly noticed that the wind had moved around and was blowing from The North. We started off by hiding behind the bushes searching for Rabbit Sniff. There were some there but not new enough to go searching for them!

I sniff a 'Two Hour Rabbit'!
There was nothing newer than half an hour which really was too late to do anything, what you need is the 'Just past this way' sniff being about thirty seconds old!

Then I got OTL to throw the ball again, I showed him my 'Fangs' and said if he didn't throw the ball he was getting them in the same place where he keeps his tail!

So There!

Here I come with My Fangs!
 The Staffy heard my commotion and ran up offering her ball for a throw but I know she is much faster than me, so it was 'No Contest' before the ball was picked up!

Wanna Play Wiv My Ball?
Back home, OTL unplugged the bits of wire from the computer and left in a huff to go to the Computer Shop where he stayed for most of the afternoon.

When he came back the computer was fixed and he was off again producing bits of paper and stuff!

It doesn't take much to make OTL happy!

Snowflake has been 'Snoozy' today, she had a good feed this morning and that was followed with some raw beef mince, one of her favourite meats, next to chicken! 

OTL says that she is a bit strange 'cos she has a super Ssssh bed that is soft and hangs from the cage and swings gently. Then she has the folded up Fleece Jacket from OTL that she can crawl inside and snuggle down for a sleep.

So, what does she choose?

Yep, down she goes to the purpose built Poo Pot that fits into the corner of her cage, drags a bit of cloth into it and falls asleep in that!

There is something strange about Ferrets!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (Snoozing Still!)

A lonely day without OTL!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back with you!

A sunny start and we had some fun on the walk this morning, we had a fun time playing 'Chase The Ball', well I did and Holly just played 'Kick The Ball'!

She doesn't do 'Ball Chasing' but we still had fun, especially when Old Two Legs threw the ball and it bounced onto the beach, just where Holly was having a wee.

I came bounding up and caught a sniff of it just before I wrapped my teeth around it.

It was Holly Wee!

We got into a bit of an argument of how we were going to get it back to the path. So we just stood there looking at it until OTL came down and picked it up!

Holly said 'Shall we tell him?'

'No Way' says I!

You wee'd on it, You Pick it Up!
 Well, that small problem was solved but when Holly said that she had found some fox poo to roll in I said that she had to 'Go First' 'cos I reckon OTL could still see what we were doing!

He's watching, I just know he's watching!
We decided to have a roll at lunch time when he was busy watching the birds!

There was a large flock of birds flying just off the beach and OTL says that they look like Knot.

Birds, wall to wall and not a chicken in sight!
We got back and OTL cleaned Snowy Heights and filled the drinking bowls. While he was doing that, I was sitting in his office chair looking at what Snowflake was doing! She was having a great time exploring all the places you would never expect a ferret to get into. She was standing on the paper shredder which I thought was a little dangerous!


What's is up here?
 It wasn't long before she got up and was looking for more toys to play with.

Now, what's up here?
 She has now pinched OTL's little duck that he had as a key fob, then she pinched my 'Squeaky Bone' but the biggest loss is the 'Mini Space Hopper' that Holly and I share as a 'Joint Squeaker'. Not only has she got them but today she has pinched my 'Rope Ball', it doesn't squeak but it is great fun playing 'Tug of War'!

We don't mind her playing with our toys because Holly and I have fun  with the 'Cat Tease' OTL got for her to chase!


It's a Snake, I'm sure it's a Snake!
 After all that, OTL went off on his own today, something to do with 'Business', all very boring but it meant that we were all alone with The Missus and she can't throw a ball or get Snowflake out of Snowy Heights for a chase around the office.

Mind you, she did stick her finger through the cage and Snowflake was just a bit slow and missed out on a 'Taste' of TM!

Silly TM, if she does that any more Snowflake will not miss the next time!

OTL got back late but we didn't mind, just as long as he comes back! We gave him a good 'Welcome Home' lick and tonight we will have a cuddle on the sofa!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Mondays Funday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back with you again!

Snowflake got a pleasant surprise this morning, after a run around Old Two Legs office she got a bowl of Raw Chicken, as a treat 'cos she has been a good little ferret, well you see she hasn't taken any of OTL's blood for a few days!

In fact, last night she licked some Ferretone off his finger then wrapped her teeth around his finger, gave a little squeeze, as if to say, 'Thanks OTL!' and then let go!

Now, OTL thinks that is a big step forward in the Snowflake & OTL relationship so this morning some Chicken!

Now I don't know if Snowflake is showing off but she did the 'Licky Finger trick and grabbed OTL's finger with her teeth and gave another little squeeze, a bit harder than last night but still a 'Friendly Squeeze'!

Mmmm, I'm not too sure what her plan is but I'm keeping a close eye on her!



I'm just being Friendly, Honest!
 Holly and I had fun on our walk along The Sea Wall and at one point we were sure we had found a Rats Nest!

I'm Sure it sniffs like a Rat!
We spent so long trying to sniff the rats that OTL had to come back to fetch us away!

So, to make up for being deprived of a good Rat Hunt, we decided to go digging for Sand Rats!

Keep digging I can sniff one, I'm sure I can!
 We didn't find one but it was good fun pretending we found one, just to get OTL down on the beach!

Of course, he couldn't find the rat and how we did laugh, in fact he caught me laughing and threatened to unscrew my tail so I'd never be happy again!

I know he wouldn't do that, so I woofed at him and ran off to find Holly!

What a Silly OTL!
 Back home again and we found Snowflake had eaten over half of her chicken breakfast and was sleeping it off, just like we do!

There is nothing better than an 'After Meal Snooze' unless you consider the 'After Wake up Snooze' or the 'Before going To Bed Snooze'!

On our 'Lunch Time Walk' we met up with Bonnie, now she is a little terrier who just loves OTL!

She comes bounding up to us, has a quick sniff and then  charges up to OTL and wiggles her tail and jumps up on his lap and licks his hand.

Holly is right when she calls her a Tart!


Yo OTL!
 Of course, OTL just loves the attention, he is as soppy as she is, he gives her a tickle behind her ears and then tickles her tail, which makes her giggle, so OTL does it even more!

Bonnie's owner gave her a nibble and offered a bit to Holly and me. Well, Holly had a sniff and decided that after all OTL's hard work, she should refuse the nibble 'cos she is still on this diet.

That was very good of her, so just to help her out by removing temptation, I ate both bits!

Mind you it wasn't that impressive, tasted a bit like smelly cardboard! As OTL has always told us to be polite, I said 'Thank You' and trotted off to hunt for more sniffs!

Bye bye OTL, see you again soon!
Just now Snowflake is finishing off the chicken and OTL has just given her the medicine she must take for a couple more days.

She says it tastes good and she doesn't mind it. That's not what I have found with the stuff I get from the vet, my stuff tastes awful!

We are off now for an evening of fun and entertainment, well, we will fall asleep cuddled up against OTL's leg until it is time to go to bed and he will try not to fall asleep!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly and Snowflake (Still Pigging Out on chicken!)
