Chilly, Chilly, Chilly!

Hi Woofers!

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

I don't know what it is like where you are this morning but we got a little bit of snow last night that was still here this morning. Just a dusting, not the real Snow Fairy, more like snow dandruff!

Snow Dandruff.

Oh my, was it cold on The Sea Wall! We got down to the car park and the temperature gauge showed it to be minus one degree and when we got out, well, I reckon if you add in the windchill factor, it must have been minus twenty degrees!

Seriously Windy!

Needless to say, we didn't spend too long on the sea front 'cos that wind almost cut us in half!

We headed for the protection of the bushes and as we got to the top of the hill Holly spotted a Bunny, sitting in the middle of the path eating breakfast. That was it, Holly got into 'Highland Charge Mode' and went steaming down to grab her some Bunny Stew!

Breakfaaaaast!

 By the time she got there the bunny had finished off it's breakfast, cleaned it's teeth and returned to it's warm little hole!

Holly was not happy!

Around the other side of the bushes the wind was blowing just as hard and Holly reckons the temperature was down to thirty below!

Thirty below and falling!

 It was getting too cold for serious sniffing! If there was a chance of a sniff, you creep up, point your tail to the wind and sniff, but it was so cold the sniff would freeze on your nose and spoil the whole thing!

I hate frozen sniffs!

Back home to a brush, Chicken Breakfast and a snooze in the office while Old Two Legs plays with his computer!

Life don't get any better!

Well, that's what I thought until OTL got bullied by Snowflake to be let out for a run around. So, he lifted me onto his chair and out she came.

Snowflake and OTL had a super game where he would squeak one her squeaky balls, she then rushes up, grabs it and hides it in my 'Day Bed' then when she is chasing after the second one, OTL pinches the first one and gives it a squeak, then she chases after that one and at the same time, OTL pinches the one she has just hidden under the cushion in my bed!

Hey! That's My Bed!

This went on for ages and I must admit, I was getting a bit bored but Snowflake wouldn't give in and kept chasing after her toys!

She has six squeaky toys now and OTL says that she thinks they are her babies, mind you, looking at her teeth, I wouldn't fancy being one of her babies being tucked up in my bed, thank you!

Putting Baby to Bed!

Lunch time came and looking outside, the weather still hadn't improved, a real 'grey day' as OTL calls them. When we went out for our run and it was definitely a 'Quick One' then back to the warmth of our day beds!

Mind you, we went straight to the 'Rabbit Bushes' and caught several of them out in the open but either they were too fast or us being too slow, we missed out on Braised Bunny!

Still, there's always Next Time!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Holly Goes on Strike!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here.

What a day! Down this end of the world we have had rain, snow, sleet and cold winds, all at the same time!

We went out for our 'Early Morning Wee', had a sniff, turned around and decided to wait until later!

It was freezing! The wind was blowing everything about, trees, the sheet covering the shed roof and all the flowers!

When Old Two Legs took us down to The Sea Wall, the wind came howling in from the North Sea, blowing all the waves onto the beach, even though the tide was trying to go out!

Wind from The North Sea!

 Holly wasn't too happy about it all, you see she doesn't 'do' cold wet and windy. So, as soon as we both did our 'Business' she headed off towards the steps back to the car park!

OTL and I both knew what was in her mind, Home!

She stopped at the bottom of the path and turned around, pointed up the steps and said HOME!

HOME!

 Then she legged it up the steps, so we had to follow and to be honest, I wasn't too keen on finishing the walk!

When we got to the car park, there she was, hiding around the back of the car to keep out of the wind. As we arrived she called out, 'Come on you two, it's cold here!'

Come on!

 Back in the car, OTL gave us a good rub down with our towel and started the car and switched on the heater!

There was another car that pulled into the car park and it had a big Alsatian type doggy that kept looking at us out of the rear window.

That was it, no Soppy Bozo eyeballs us! So I did my 'Don'tyoueyeballmeyouoldbagofhairandfleasorI'llcomeoverthereandfillyouin!' woof that normally works!

Me doing my woof!

 OTL turned the heater on full blast and drove off before we found out what the Bozo was going to do!

Back home it was Doggy Scoff, The Missus had put it all together before she left for her Village Crop.

So we left that alone and concentrated on trying to convince OTL he should get a couple of steaks out of the freezer and cook us a decent meal.

It didn't work!

Lunchtime we went out with OTL and ended up at the Doggy Shop! Oh that place is such a WONDERFUL place, the sniffs are beyond description and there are Bunnies in there you can buy!

OTL said that we would have to save up our own money if we wanted to buy a Bunny and on top of that, we would have to look after it and clean it out ourselves.

Look after it? Clean it? We wanted to eat it!

OTL said that would not be a good idea!

We got some cat litter and Ferret Nuggets for Snowflake and OTL got a couple of squeaky balls and another cat tease 'cos she has chewed the other one almost to bits!

Back home we all had a game with the new cat tease and Snowflake just loved it!

Tomorrow Snowflake says we can have a game with it, providing we don't chew it to bits!

Bye for now, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Freezing Friday!

Yo Ho Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back with you again!

What a day! We've been looking at the weather reports and it seems we must be the only town without six foot of snow!

Mind you, it was freezing on our morning walk. The wind was coming in off the North Sea and it must have been a force eight gale blowing 'cos both Holly and I were frozen!

Cold and Windy Sis!

 Holly reckons it was cold enough to freeze the tail of a Husky!

I reckon she was right!

Even the sniffs were too cold to be interesting. I only found one and that was an old one on a step, out of the wind!

Wotcha sniffin Sis?

We didn't hang about too long and didn't even think about Bunny Chasing either! It was back to the car and we both sat on Old Two Legs lap for a cuddle before we set off for home!

As it is Friday, the food man brought us loads of stuff to eat and to celebrate, The Missus cooked up some Lambs Heart!

It went down a treat!

Then off we went to the office for a snooze. Well that was the plan but when we got there, OTL was on his knees cleaning Snowy Heights, from top to bottom. Snowflake was trapped in the upper floor while OTL was inside cleaning out all the stuff on the ground floor.

Now this cleaning is very thorough and he takes out all her bedding and food and water and poo tray and toys and climbing stuff.

Now Holly, being a bit of a 'Piggly Puppy' spotted Snowflakes Ferret Nuggets in her food bowl and that was on the floor outside Snowy Heights.

OTL was inside Snowy Heights getting all busy with the dustpan and brush.

So, Holly had a sniff, then she had another sniff and then she had a taste of one, then she had a taste of two, then she licked a couple more up and then she got a bit carried away and stuck her nose in and started to chomp away!

OTL thought it was a bit strange, Holly cuddling up to him while he was cleaning, then he spotted the reason and told Holly that she was a Porky Puppy and he shooed her away from the food bowl.

Well, she legged it down stairs to get the protection of TM and sat there on the sofa licking her lips!

I bet she will have put on a couple of pounds after that lot.

When OTL came up stairs again to finish the cleaning, he looked at the bowl and said that he was sure there had been some Ferret Nuggets left in the bowl and he gave me one of his 'I know, but I can't Prove It' looks!

I just licked my chops and gave him one of my winning smiles!

Lunch time it was just as cold, so again we didn't hang about too much. We could see the waves out at the edge of the mud flats getting all angry and splashing about, ready to come back for High Tide this evening!

Angry looking Waves!

We had a quick game of 'Chase The Ball' but it didn't last long 'cos I pretended to loose the ball on the beach!

Bet he won't find it here!

 Snowflake got a fresh bowl of Ferret Nuggets and she spent the afternoon eating them and stashing some away in her bed, for later tonight when she gets peckish around midnight!

Tomorrow TM is off to her local 'Crop', you know, all Gas & Glitter! So we are looking forward to a fun time with OTL and he says that maybe Snowflake can come downstairs for a run around the kitchen, where we keep out food bowls..................................I've just decided that is a BAD idea!

She will be eating our food!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake!

It's Snowflakes Day Today!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here.

Well, for the First Day of Spring, today is having trouble getting out of Winter!

We can see the Daffodils beginning to flower but the weather is really unhappy!

Not that it bothers us too much 'cos we got lots to do, like beat up Old Two Legs and bully him rotten!

I was getting a bit fed up with his snoring this morning, so, up on the bed I got, crept around to his head that was just poking out from under the duvet and gave his ear a good licking!

That stopped him, for a little while!

This morning down on The Sea Wall we had a run around and met up with Barney! He was having a good old time chasing his ball about. It was a bit drafty, so we didn't hang about too long and any way, there were rabbits to stalk!

Yo Girlie's!

No Rabbits!

I don't know if we were too late or they hadn't got out of bed yet but not a sign did we see, not even a fresh rabbit poo!

Back home we had a late breakfast 'cos The Missus forgot about our chicken while she was doing another of her Super Slick Special Invention type cards.

Did you know, she could be labelled a SSSI, a first for card making?

OTL was in the office playing with Snowflake, it's a noisy game and involves her squeaky toys. She is so fast when she chases them that OTL has got to be quick to get his hand out of the way when she goes to grab the toy!

He's got the scars to show how slow he was to begin with!

This time he got the camcorder out and set it up on the tripod and then the fun started!

 As you can see, Snowflake rushes around but very quickly gets tired and sometimes just falls asleep anywhere in the office, so OTL has to keep an eye on her or we could have a missing ferret snoozing under our bed!

Lunch time we were out again and there was a bit of wind blowing, so we had a race along the 'Wall of Death'. Of course, I won, as normal and it was good fun running and trying to stop sliding down the wall at the same time!

Stand Back!   'Fast' and 'Super Fast' puppies coming through!

After that I thought I'd play a trick on Holly, so I hid at the top of the steps while she had a dig in the sand.

I'm expert at hiding!

 Then as she came up the steps I jumped up and went ......BOO!

 That nearly made fall over backwards onto her tail!

BOO!

 As we headed back to the car, OTL decided to go a different way back, which was a bit strange 'cos that would mean we missed out on the chance of a bunny.

Then we saw why!

Mrs Foxy!

OTL reckons we might have chased the fox and the fox just might have turned on us!

So, no bunnies, no fox, no matter!

There's always next time!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

A No Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back to see you again!

Now don't think we are being naughty for laughing but this morning, Old Two Legs and Snowflake were having their normal game in the office while Holly and I were having our 'After Get Up Snooze' on the bed.

Snowflake had got up on the desk top and was doing her 'Ferreting Around' thing, checking on all the stuff that's up there.

She found a hole big enough to get her head and shoulders into and was looking down through the hole expecting some rats or rabbits to be down there!

There wasn't.

There was however, OTL's fingers, playing at being a tease and looking to tap Snowflake on the nose!

OTL couldn't see his fingers or Snowflakes nose, so it was all done by touch.

Snowflake could see OTL's fingers.

Right in front of her nose.

Very close to her nose.

So, she nipped OTL's finger!

That'll teach him!

We went down to The Sea Wall, looking for the sun shine but there was No sun, just a bright light above the clouds.

No Sun!

We spotted some Brent Geese having a paddle in the mud, looking for some breakfast.

No Breakfast!

 Mr & Mrs Corvid were strolling along the beach looking for tasty bits of shellfish!

No Whelks Today!

 It looked like they were not having much success!

No Cockles either!

Holly and I had a good game of 'Get The Ball', that's where OTL throws the ball and we try to hang onto it while OTL and the other doggy tries to get the ball away!

No ball for Daisy!

 Even OTL joins in and we have him running around the beach chasing us both!

Now OTL is not that fast on his paws you know, he sort of rolls along trying to look all fit and healthy but he doesn't stand a chance next to us!

That's 'cos we are super fit, well I am, you know I can even fly when the mood takes me!

A Super Fast Flying Daisy!

We had a phone call from the car menders, they had got the car done and it was ready to be collected. Off we went and after collecting it went off for another run, but this time after rabbits. Not that we didn't see any, it was just that we didn't catch any!

No Rabbits!

Oh! The shame of it all.

Us Super Fast Fit Flying FuzzBalls of Fur still failed to get a bunny!

In the end we decided to cut our losses and go back home for a snooze in the office. Well that was the idea, until Snowflake started to rattle on the door of Snowy Heights and wake us up.

No peace for us puppies today!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Another Lovely Day!

Hello Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (The Ferret) back again!

Nowadays, we jump up onto Old Two Legs bed to wake him up, (a lick behind the ear normally is enough), then off he goes for a shower, gets his clothes on and then sorts Snowflake out. We on the other hand, enjoy a good 'After Wake Up Snooze' on the bed, making the most of his nice soft pillow!

We used to go into the office with him for breakfast and our snooze before going for our walk but since Snowflake needs her morning 'Ferret About' we stay on the bed, it's less dangerous!

This morning Snowflake was in a particularly playful mood and was bouncing around chasing the 'Cat Tease' and sounding like a chicken going sort of 'Chook, Chook' then jumping up and down to get the feathers on the 'Cat Tease'.

OTL was chuckling away as well and we could hear the pair of them having a great time together.

Well, that was until the 'Squeaky Toys' came out and then we heard OTL yelp, yep, he just couldn't get his hand out of the box of paper quick enough and Snowflake caught him pinching one of her toys and gave him a nip!

When I was allowed into the office, Snowflake was  back in her bed having her second snooze of the day and I could smell OTL's blood. So being 'Nurse Daisy' I gave OTL's hand a lick, just to make it all better and stop him snivelling, he can be such a baby sometimes!

Down on The Sea Wall we could see a reddish sunrise and Holly said that 'Red Sky in The Morning' was a 'Ferrets Warning!' and we both had a good laugh at that and even OTL had a smile on his face!

Red sky in the morning, Ferrets Warning!

 We came across a Curlew poking around in the mud and grumbling away to himself. It seems that he is blaming the Wormy Men for the lack of worms to eat. He says that in 'The Old Days' all you had to do was tap the mud a couple of times with your foot and a worm would jump up out of the mud and there was your breakfast!

I need a Worm!

 It's getting harder nowadays!

 We were having a game of 'Chase the Ball' when Holly suddenly stopped and said that the hair was getting into her eyes and she was having trouble seeing the ball!

I need a Haircut!

 I said that we had got a booking for the early part of April and by then the weather would have warmed up as well!

We carried on mooching along the path looking for new sniffs but they just didn't seem to be any really good ones about this morning!

I need a good Sniff!

You know, even the rabbits had gone back to bed!

The good thing was, back home we had chicken waiting for us! Chicken two days running, wow!

Lunch time we were out again but the situation didn't improve at all even when we me Max and Oscar they were complaining of uninteresting sniffs as well!

Terrible Sniffs today Girls!

You know, there are some days that just end up sniff-less!

OTL was out this afternoon visiting customers so we spent some time having a snooze on the sofa, well that was until we got a 'Teeth Cleaning Chew' each and spent the next hour arguing over who's chew was who's!

By the time OTL got back it was late and Snowflake was rattling her door to be let out for a 'Ferret Around'!

Still, tomorrow should be better, they have forecast bright sunshine and warm winds and clear blue skies, or was that me dreaming?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Rabbit Stew and a Touchy Ferret!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here again!

Well, Old Two Legs is back and we gave him a cuddle this morning, before kicking him out of bed to get a shower and take us out!

Before he takes us out he gives Snowflakes house a clean and refills the food and water bowl. He also lets her out for her run around the office and a 'Ferret About' to find some more mischief to get into!

This morning she managed to get behind the drawers in his drawer cupboard and empty a load of stuff down behind the drawers, so OTL had to take the drawers out to get it all back!

Needless to say, Snowflake didn't like that, so she nipped OTL on the hand when he tried to put the stuff back!

Snowflake thought it was great fun and then had a great time 'Ducking and Diving' around after her squeaky toys and had great fun with the cat tease as well!

She says it is great to have OTL back 'cos The Missus wouldn't even let her out of Snowy Heights!

Another thing she likes is, getting the last of the milk from OTL's bowl of 'Rabbit Food' he has every morning!

No, I haven't finished yet!

We got down the beach and it was sun shiny and warm and we had a great time doing the 'Chase the Ball' game with both Holly and me taking it in turns to run around with it so OTL couldn't get it!

My Ball!

 We even had a race along The Sea Wall with Holly doing her 'Wall of Death' run!

Outta! My Way, Fast Dog Coming Through!

 Holly spent some time with the ball and spent a long time teasing OTL with the ball, running up to him and just when he bent down to pick it up, she grabs it and runs off!

Betcha can't get the ball!

Back home it was a super bowl of chicken which went down with no trouble whatsoever!

Then it's up to bed for a snooze until lunch time when we bully OTL to go out again!

Lunch time we were a bit naughty, we had a our run around as normal but when we got to the end, there, sitting in the grass were two little Bunny Rabbits just calling out to be converted to 'Rabbit Stew'!

Well, Holly did her normal 'Highland Charge' and went steaming down the path, flat out, tail straight out the back in 'Race Mode' and ears flat to the side of her head.

Ere' there's that dog running down the path again!

As Holly got closer, the rabbits just hopped into the bushes and disappeared, as normal!

I decided to do the 'Foxy Stalk' to get to the rabbits. So, very slowly, I edged up towards the bunny. Every time it put it's head down to nibble a bit of grass, I slowly moved my leg up and down stepping towards the bunny.

I got closer and closer, and closer. At one point I was sure I could just reach out and grab it, so I tried and jumped forward.

Blooming bunny! It just shot into the brambles and down the hole!

Slowly, slowly, catchy Bunny!

Well, I flew into the brambles and commenced to try to dig that bunny out of the hole. I didn't hear OTL calling me out and it was about half an hour before I decided that I wasn't going to have rabbit stew tonight!

Out I came, straight into OTL who told me I had spent too long 'Hunting Bunny' and both he and Holly were about to go home and leave me!

Back home we told Snowflake all about the bunny and she said that if she was there she could have gone into the hole and scared the rabbit out!

Maybe we will have a go at that with her when she gets to go out with us!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (Rabbit Hunters!)

He's Home!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again and so is Old Two Legs!

We had a run around The Farm this morning with The Missus but we didn't enjoy the walk up there 'cos there were chippings all over the pavement which hurt our paws!

Back home to Doggy Scoff which we had a chew of but we would prefer some more Lambs Heart!

We settled down for a snooze, I went up and slept on OTL's dressing gown and Holly got her tummy stroked by TM who was on the sofa watching the F1 racing!

About one thirty we both heard a clicking of the front door key in the lock, so straight away we thought 'Burglars!' and started off with our 'Warning Growl'........then back came a 'Warning Growl' from the other side of the door.

No one does a silly 'Warning Growl' like OTL!

That was it, we were all over him with woofs and licks and jumping about. Holly gave him a big Welcome Home Lick then rushed off to have a go at her chew to celebrate OTL's home coming and I jumped up and gave him another lick on top of his bald head!

After saying hello to us he took all his stuff up stairs and got settled in, then he went to say 'Hello' to Snowflake who hasn't been out of Snowy Heights for two days!

Well she cuddled up to OTL on his lap, then she turned around in a circle, or as OTL calls it, a 'Ferret Doughnut', then she licked his hand and curled up some more!

We think she was pleased to see him!

She was also pleased to get a slurp of Ferretone and another cuddle before OTL got her squeaky toys out and they played a game of 'Hide & Squeak', which Snowflake says is great fun!

That's it! I heard a 'Squeak' then!

 OTL sometimes hides her toys in the cardboard box that is full of packing paper that rustles and she rolls around making her laughing noises!

I bet they're in the bottom of the box!

 After a game with Snowflake OTL took us out down The Sea Wall and we played a game of Hunt the Ball, which I won 'cos I'm much faster than Holly and also 'cos she doesn't 'Do Balls'!

Found it!

We had only got a little way along the beach when the clouds decided to dump a load of rain on us!

That was it, short cut back to the car, a rub down with our Doggy Towel and back home for another dry down and a cuddle on the sofa!

Now that OTL is back we can all settle down and TM can get on with her cold that she has picked up from someone!

As long as she stays away from Snowflake, who can catch Two Legs Colds!

Nasty!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Home Alone!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here!

What a strange day today has been! We were woken up before it got light by The Missus crashing about downstairs.

Old Two Legs still hasn't come home!

We were called downstairs and dragged out for our walk but across the field to The Farm. Doing a wee in the dark is just not the same!

Mind you, when we got back TM gave us a super bowl of Lambs Heart, which we dived into straight away, you know Nose down Tail Up!

While we were eating TM sneaked out with all her card stuff!

We though we were going as well!

So, we spent the morning snoozing on the sofa and woofing at Snowflake who said that if we helped her open the cage door she would show us some super hiding places in the office!

We aren't that stupid!

So she stayed in there and went to sleep!

Lunch time we got a quick run around The Farm again, but it wasn’t as good as The Sea Wall with OTL.

We spoke to OTL on the phone and he says he will be home tomorrow and has sent some pictures of what he has been up to!

Together with his cousin, Alun, he has been helping Alun enter a competition at the Chute & Dagger.

It's a collectors club for Special Forces Insignia Badges, a real specialist interest!

This is Alun with his entry which is a collection of Shoulder badges for the South African 44 Para Brigade and there was an exhibit of Qualification Wings. Again, a very specialised exhibit!

............and this is my exhibit!

Then later in the afternoon, after a super Curry an Rice lunch the winners were announced and Alun got the second place Silver Medal in The Arnhem Trophy!

Alun gets his Silver Medal!

Needless to say, he was Right Chuffed, as OTL said!

This is another display from the Brazilian Armed Forces, very colourful!

Hurry up OTL, we want a cuddle!

Snowflake wants to get a badge with SAS on it (Steal and Stash)

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy & Holly & Snowflake, (still snoozing!)

He's Gone and left us!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here!

We are not happy little girls! We have been left all alone, no fun and games, no getting our tummy tickled, no chance of bullying Old Two Legs!

He has left us!

Gone!

Done a Runner!

This morning we went for our normal stroll down on The Sea Wall, a bit of ball throwing and a few sniffs, we even spotted a boat that had run aground on the mud flats and was waiting for the tide to come back so he can re float!

OH! We're Stuck on The Ocean Mud!

Holly did suggest we run out there and take over the boat but OTL said that we would leave middy paw marks all over the place and they would be terrible to get off the decking!

So we didn't!

Back home we got our brush and a bowl of Doggy Scoff, which we left for a while and followed OTL upstairs.

He started to get stuff out of the cupboard where he keeps his shirts and stuff. Then he started to pack the big bag he uses to store all his coats and stuff in when he goes away!

Does this mean we are going for an adventure?

Well, he is but we aren't!

We will have to stay with The Missus who doesn't throw the ball for us or run into the bushes chasing rabbits with us or let's us hang about enjoying a sniff!

What does she want to do?

Make cards!

This is one she did but had to get OTL to photograph!

So it looks like we have got to spend time listening to TM waffle on about how she is making this or that card and how she does it and ........YAWN!

I do hope OTL gets his stuff done early and get home soon, I don't think we can stand much more!

Mind you, it's going to be fun watching TM try to clean out Snowflakes Poo Pot in the morning!

Snowflake says she is looking forward to the fun and games and how much do we bet her she has TM running around the office with her chasing TM!

More news tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (getting her running shoes on!)
