A Super Day out with OTL and Snowflake!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here again!

Today's blog is shared between Snowflake and me, just for fun!

We were up early and because The Missus was off to her 'Crop' and because the sun was shining we decided that Snowflake should come out with us for our morning walk!

When we got back, Old Two Legs and Snowflake played a game which was sooo funny!

Later on, we went out to deliver some stuff and ended up in The New Park. Snowflake stayed at home 'cos she said she was too tired to go running in a place full of dogs!

So, here is the story a little late, but it takes so long to upload the video!

We have just spotted that OTL can't spell 'New', he is getting worse!



That's it for today!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Dampish Friday!

Hi Ho Woofers!

It's us back again, Daisy, Holly and Snowflake!

After last night, we were a bit late in getting up, well, Old Two Legs had to get up at the normal time 'cos Snowflake was rattling her door wanting to have her morning slurp of Ferretone and then a rampage around the house!

We stayed in bed but The Missus got up and wandered around the house half asleep, as normal!

OTL had Snowflake out in the office while he cleared her Poo Pot and changed the drinking water. TM decided to march straight into the office with OTL's rabbit food breakfast, not remembering that if the door is shut, Snowflake is on the loose!

There was a sort of 'Dramatic Gasp' and TM stood at the door with just a cup of tea in her hand. She had put OTL's rabbit food down on the floor and Snowflake was licking the milk out of the bowl!

Quick thinking by TM but OTL had to fight Snowflake for his breakfast!

Off down to The Sea Wall where the tide was on it's way out, leaving the mud flats all wet with water, OTL said he liked the reflection of the light and the rain clouds on the horizon.

What ever turns you on, as they say!

It's the light you see.....................no, I don't!
Holly thought that hunting for rabbits was more interesting than looking at the wet mud, so off she went playing the 'Big Black & White Hunter' Not that she found any but it was more interesting than wet mud!

Who is interested in Mud?
Back home it was Doggy Scoff and I was a bit peckish, so I had a chew from Holly's bowl first, then a nibble from mine. It didn't taste any better , but if your hungry, then anything will do!

We met up with young Barney #2 who got so excited to see us and get let off the lead as well. His owner says that we are the only digs he will allow Barney to play with!

That dog has a need to run and run he does! He ran around and kept bumping into me so I had to give him the 'Warning Woof' but being a puppy I don't suppose he really understood that I don't like his wet cold nose under my tail!

Watch it Woofer!
 He tried the same trick with Holly but she gave him a couple of woofs and he settled down, 'Settling Down' to him is 'reduce speed to 100mph'!

Watch it, Barney coming through!

 OTL was still working in the afternoon so we did what we do best, we had another snooze!

OTL has taught Snowflake a super funny trick and tomorrow when TM is out at her 'Glitter & Glue' party, OTL is going to try to film Snowflake doing it!

OK, that's all that really happened today but the weekend is here so we may have an adventure, providing it stops raining!

See you tomorrow,

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Another Marathon and we do some baby sitting!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here!

We have had a super day today, loads of fun when Snowflake came with us for a run at lunch time and we spotted the first Wheatear to come back to The Sea Wall this year as well!

The First this year!

All of a sudden the trees have started to bloom, well the flowers have all come out on some of the thorn trees!

Blooming!
We even met up with Mercury, he is that Bozo Labrador that has fallen in love with Old Two Legs!

Here's Bozo!
Lunch time came and we were out again, this time Snowflake was with us and for a change, OTL left the camera in the car. He reckons that two dogs and a ferret was all he could handle at one time and the camera will have to wait for another day!

Snowflake did the whole mile circuit this time and she even met up with those pair Max and Oscar! They were both barking at Snowflake who was cuddled up in OTL's hand 'cos he picked her up when they got close. She just curled into a ball and looked down at them and stuck her tongue out, which only made them bark even more!

Good on yer girl!

Well, by the time we finished the walk Snowflake said she was getting tired!

We saw some men who had put up a nesting box for Barn Owls and of course, OTL just had to stop and have a chat with them!

Mind you, it certainly looked 'The Business', as far as bird boxes go!

Barn Owl Bird Box.

We have been out tonight doing some Baby Sitting at The Girls house (that is Sassy and Tilly) which was OK, we had a game and a run around but after they had gone to bed, well, there was nothing much to do except sleep! We couldn't go woofing in the garden 'cos we were told we couldn't wake the neighbours up and we couldn't chase the chickens and we couldn't chase the rabbits, boring really!

We had fun but we were glad to get back home again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Smelly Nelly's R Us!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a super day it has been, sunshine, Snowflake does a Marathon and we get a wash!

It all started off this morning when we got up, well, Old Two Legs got up after I had given him a 'Wake Up' lick behind his ear!

Snowflake was rattling on her door 'cos she wanted a run around and fancied chasing some of her squeaky balls!

OTL said he would sort her out, she was coming for a walk along The Sea Wall with us!

Off we went and Snowflake didn't try to get out of her carry cage, she had worked out that if OTL puts her in the cage then good things happen, except when she gets taken to the vet!

Down on the Sea Wall she was let out and off we all went. Except for a couple of times when OTL had to pick her up 'cos she wanted to go the other way, Snowflake did the same walk as us, about a half of a mile!

Now that is some serious running for a ferret, it is like a Two Legs running the marathon!

When we got back, she had a bite to eat and then went to bed until lunchtime when she had another nibble of her ferret nuggets and went back to sleep!

 OTL took us out with him when he went to do some deliveries and we ended up in The New Park!

Just as we got through the gate a big hairy hound came behind us and I was a bit worried he might eat us, but it turned out he was a big softy and he even gave Holly a cuddle!


Holly gets a cuddle!
 When I saw how much of a softy he was I got all big and brave, and while he was looking the other way, I risked a sniff, as you do!

A Sneaky Sniff!
 We had our normal run around and even went along the path where the horses have a run, we didn't see any but we did come across a Super Sniff!

Well, the sniff was so strong and so good and so squidgy and so spread out, we just had to have a roll!

It was a Super Roll and we didn't even take any notice when OTL started to jump up and down and shout at us and even when he was calling us 'Smelly Nelly's'

It doesn't get any better than this Sis!
 We got a rub down with the industrial strength hand wipes when we got back to the car and when we got back home, it was a full wash down from our head to our tail!

Was it worth it?

You betcha is was!

See you tomorrow and maybe Snowflake will be out again on her marathon!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

We went down to the woods today!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back with you!

Today we saw the first Swallow of the year down on The Sea Wall. It went by us at such a speed that even Old Two Legs couldn't get a picture!

It's a good sign that Summer is on it's way but how long and how hot is another question!

As we got to the end of our morning stroll we came across a rubbish bin, a new rubbish bin, a rubbish bin that we now will call 'The Three Man Bin'!

It's The Three Man Bin!
 Back home it was 'Doggy Scoff', not our favourite food, so a quick nibble then off for a second snooze!

OTL was playing games with Snowflake, they started off by moving the squeaky balls around the office, then OTL went down stairs and Snowflake chased him all the way down the stairs and back up again!

Now, Snowflake has a very best favourite squeaky ball and today she decided to have a cuddle with it when she went to bed for her second snooze of the day.

All together............Ahhhhhhh!

Snowflake jus' loves her ball!
 Lunchtime came and we were off to town to deliver some stuff and get the car filled up with petrol. Of course, as we were so close, we just had to stop off at The Forrest!

Well, we haven't been there for such a long time 'cos it has been so wet and muddy. It was still muddy in parts but most of it was dry and of course, there is always a chance of catching a squirrel!

No Mud Yet!
OTL was looking out for the flowers starting to bloom, it will be soon that the leaves come out on the trees, then all the flowers will fade, so it is always worth getting a shot or two to see the transition between all the plants!

Daffs in the wood!
 While OTL was playing with the flowers, we were off hunting squirrel. I stood very still and listened out for their rustling sounds.

Me, listening hard for squirrels!
 Then Holly joined in listening for squirrels and you know what?

Nothing!

Not so much as a rustle!
 Now either we are getting out of practice or those squirrels are staying in bed longer but we didn't even get a sniff of squirrel droppings, never mind a chance of a chase!

As Holly said, 'Back to the Rabbits'!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (with her squeaky ball)

Visitors!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again!

What a wonderful day today, loads of sunshine, super walks a swim and The Girls visit us as well!

This morning we were up early, not that we wanted to get up early, it was just that Old Two Legs had to get the caravan home and parked up. We stayed behind 'cos the camp site doesn't allow dogs on the site at all! You can safely bet we won't be staying there in the future!

Our morning stroll was pretty uneventful 'cos there was no one about! I even managed to loose our ball, the one we found the other day!

When OTL got back, we had eaten our breakfast and he had to dig out some biscuits so that Holly would eat them and her pills at the same time!

It's always fun with OTL and pills!

A bit later The Girls turned up with their Mum, there was Miss Sassy

Sassy
 Then there was Miss Tilly

Miss Tilly in her Tutu!
We had a great time chasing around the house and we even went up stairs to see Snowflake so The Girls could give her a stroke. OTL made sure that Snowflake was well into her Ferretone before letting The Girls stroke her though!

Miss Snowflake behaved herself perfectly and didn't eat anyone!

Our lunchtime walk was down on The Sea Wall and we saw three workmen assembling a rubbish bin. Now, there's a joke about 'How Many Workmen Does It Take To Assemble A Bin?'

Well, we have found out now, THREE!

How Many Workmen Does It Take?
I decided it was warm enough for swim, so, before OTL could stop me, I dashed into the sea! You know, it wasn't that bad but the muddy stuff was getting between my claws, so I decided that a paddle was called for instead of a swim!

It's a bit Quaggy!
 Holly was playing her normal jokes, she found a bit of wood and pretended to be a Bozo and started to throw it around!

Bozo's R Us!
Back home again and we had some more fun, well The Girls did, they made some birthday cards for their Daddy. We went to sleep and I made sure I was on OTL's bed as well!

It was fun seeing the girls again and we will be seeing them again soon 'cos we are doing some baby sitting, but we won't be taking Snowflake 'cos it's just for one evening and anyway, Snowflake may eat the Hamster!

Good Night from Miss Tilly








and it's Good night from Miss Sassy as well!





























See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake.

PS. Archie, sorry to hear you got a Bozo staying with you, but look on the bright side, you can teach him some super tricks, like rolling in Fox Poo!

Sun Shine or Wot!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back with you.

This morning Snowflake has been rushing around the house and in the end she just got all worn out!

It's exhausting being a Ferret!
What a super sunny day it has been, except when Old Two Legs wanted to try picking the vinyl writing off the little car, the sun went in and it began to rain!

We were out early this morning for our run 'cos we took Auntie Sheila and The Missus down to the town to catch a train up to Ally Pally, it's a 'Card Thing'!

All Glitter and Peel Off's!

Mind you, we have been told that Archie's mum, Elaine (A Wonderful Woman!), was there, but without Archie, not that we blame him, the sniff of all that glue would send us around the bend as well!

TM came back with loads of stuff, I wonder if she will ever use it?



OTL and us went down to The New Park for a super run around.

We met up with some Beef Steak!

What do you mean 'Frying Steak?'

 We got intro introduced to Charley!

Hello Girls!
Then off to pick up the caravan from the servicing place. We had great fun running in between the caravans chasing rabbits until OTL caught us and we had to go back inside the car!

Because it's Sunday, there are loads of visitors to our village and there are too many badly parked cars to be able to get the caravan in between them, so OTL has parked the van at a local caravan site overnight, just to give the visitors time to go away!

Now, because of that, we were late getting back and late getting our breakfast and Holly was late getting her medicine!

What was even worse, we were late going for our lunchtime walk, more like mid afternoon walk!

It was OK, sun shine and people on the beach, fishermen catching nothing!

Busy Catching Nothin'!
Then there were the visiting woofers to woof at. You can tell they are visitors 'cos they are kept on their leads and tied up to the railings!

Where am I, any where near Dartford?
As it was High Tide, I fancied going in for a swim but OTL advised against it 'cos the water was too cold!
OK, how about a paddle then?
 Holly said that she didn't do Sea Paddles but was happy to sit in the shade and watch the world go by!
Jus' Watching The World Go By!
Just as we were settling down, TM phoned OTL to 'come and get her' which was OK but OTL made sure he finished his cup of tea first!

It was good to see TM and Auntie Sheila back again and we even said 'Hello' to Auntie Karen (The Cat Woman) 'cos she had been up to Ally Pally as well!

I wonder if they do Ferret Shows at Ally Pally?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Ferret on a Mission!

Hi Woofers!

It's us again!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake.

The sun was out this morning, not very bright and not so warm but even so, Snowflake asked if she could come with us for a walk!

Off we all went, down to The Sea Wall and Holly and I went off to sniff the sniffs and see if there were any rabbits to chase!

Old Two Legs and Snowflake took the short cut and arrived at the sea wall where the fun began!

Snowflake got her nose twitching and off she went, like a ferret possessed!

I joined in the sniffin and I must admit, I did do a 'Sniff Job' on Snowflakes tail!

She was in and out of the grass and at one time tried the death defying leap from the Sea Wall to the Beach!




After a while we let Snowflake go back to the car 'cos we want to have a run on the beach and she may get trodden on!

On top of that, we found some whelk egg sacks that we used as balls to throw around, it was great fun!
On me 'ead Sis!
Holly had a good run along the wall and said she was feeling a lot better now and on top of that, her tummy had stopped 'Grumbling'!

So it looks like the pills are working!

Looking Good, Miss Holly!
We had a fun day with OTL, chasing around and even playing with Snowflakes Squeaky Toys!

She was running around all over the house chasing every squeak!

Tomorrow it should be warmer, so OTL is planning to have another bash at the vinyl sign writing on the little car, now, that should be fun!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Getting better and getting Wet!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here!

Last night was good, very good, in fact it was the best for a few days. Holly slept all the way through without wanting to go out in the middle of the night!

So, that means she is getting better!

We've got some stuff that Old Two Legs has to shove down the side of her jaw, a sort of paste stuff that seems OK but only after you have swallowed it!

Plus there are a couple of tablets she has to take as well and as normal, she doesn't want to take them. It's a super game we play with OTL but in the end we have to take them or we won't get better!

Our morning walk was full of promise, well, it looked like it was going to be sunny, then it decided it wasn't!

Maybe it will and maybe it won't!
 Holly and OTL had a kick about on the beach with the ball!

Come on then, try!
 On the way back to the car we bumped into a couple of rabbits and if it weren't for the lead, we reckon we could have had them, no trouble!

If you think your fast enough!
 Back home to some Lambs Heart and a snooze until lunch time when we all went out again, including Snowflake! Well, she had been rattling on her door to be let out and OTL decided it would be a good idea to have another run down on the beach.

I was just getting into the game of 'Chase' with Snowflake when OTL gave me the 'Warning'. I could tell by the way he called my name he meant that I mustn't hurt her!

As if!

Unfortunately, about half way through the walk, it rained, I mean really rained and we all got soaked, including Snowflake who didn't want to go inside OTL's coat!

Sometimes she can be a Soppy Ferret!



See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly and a wet ferret called Snowflake!

Poor Holly :-(

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here!

Today has not been a sunny as we would have liked, in fact we have not seen the sun at all! We thought the weatherman said it was going to get all 'Hot & Sunny' instead of grey and cold!

Out walking this morning, Old Two Legs spotted something not right with Holly and telephoned the vet to make an appointment. There was an appointment available for tomorrow morning or this afternoon but after OTL had a 'chat' we managed an appointment for one hours time!

He can be so persuasive sometimes!

Well the result was, antibiotics, some stuff to bung her up and a vet bill that made OTL cry!

Back home she got all the 'treatment' and the 'cuddles' and even got my place on the sofa to have a snooze!

She said she didn't feel like anything to eat, again, which really is not our Holly, but, no, I couldn't eat it for her!

So that's about it today, OTL has been running around like a blue tailed fly and he has been trying to get the vinyl sign writing off the little car but it has been on there for eight years and seems to have put down roots. He has been using a jet washer to blast the stuff off but it is very slow and he is getting soaking wet!

Any one got any suggestions? He has even sprayed WD40 onto it and will try the jet wash again tomorrow!

So, no pictures for you today and Snowflake is in the naughty corner as well.

She was in OTL's drawer, sorting out the stuff and when OTL put his hand in there to get something out, she sunk her fangs into his hand, by mistake, but it still made OTL jump, and bleed!

Things will get better tomorrow and so will Holly and so will OTL's hand and so will the little car.

I'm OK, it's the rest of them!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly (Sore Butt) & Snowflake (From the naughty corner)
