Snowflake has a new job!

Hello Woofers!

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

The weather has not been as brilliant as it has been but first thing this morning there was enough sun to tempt Snowflake out with us for a run.

Before we could go out there was the problem of getting Holly out of bed. She is not known for 'Early Mornings' and prefers to stay in bed until the last moment, like Old Two Legs calling her down to go 'Walkies!'

So, here we are, I've got up early 'cos The Missus was crashing about downstairs getting ready for her Master Class this weekend. OTL woke up as well and I suppose me licking his ear helped!

Holly was still curled up in her bed, dreaming of food and nibbles!

OTL was up and showered and clearing Snowflakes stuff. Snowflake was also up and having a ferret around and getting into trouble, as normal.

OTL took Snowflakes drinking bowl into the bathroom to clean it out and refill, when he heard Holly starting to grumble, so, quick as a flash, he was into the bedroom to see what was up.

There, in Holly's bed was Holly, curled up in her sleeping position with Snowflake licking her nose!

That was it, Holly decided that enough was enough and got up, jumped over Snowflake and OTL and headed out to see if there was any food to eat!

So, OTL says that in future, if he wants Holly to move, he'll send in Snowflake to sort her out!

Me? I was on OTL's bed watching it all, safe and out of Snowflake way, I'm not daft!

Lunchtime we were off down the Sea Wall again and tickle me tail with a feather, there was the BBC TV News people reporting on the plans to build that airport in the middle of the Thames!

........and behind me is where Boris' Folly is planned!

OTL said we had to keep quiet when we went past, just in case they were transmitting. Holly said they should interview us and we could tell them to take the airport and woof off!

.......and it will ruin the Rabbit Bushes as well!

When we got around to where they were doing the interview, we found that they had all packed up and were just about to leave, so we didn't get interviewed after all!

So, it was back to Hunting Rabbit!

now, where are those rabbits?

Tomorrow we are off out early 'cos OTL has got to do some work, but it will be great for us 'cos we're going to be running in some new woods!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (the Knocker Upper!)

Getting Ready to Swim!

Yo Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again!

No rain today, so Snowflake was out with us this morning, ferreting along The Sea Wall and enjoying herself as we went hunting rabbit, again! One good thing about our walk is that Old Two Legs is getting a bit more trusting, providing he can see where we are, then he carries on walking Snowflake and puts her back in the car while he comes back for us!

Here be Rabbits!

Snowflake says she doesn't like drinking from our 'Traveling Water Bowl' 'cos she says she might fall in, so OTL poured out some water into the bottle cap and she had a drink from that!

Snowflake sorted!

At lunch time we were down there again and this time OTL brought the ball with him and I had a brilliant game of 'Chase', Holly decided to sit down and catch a couple of rays and top up her tan!

Come Here Ball!

With Holly spread out on the beach catching the rays I decided that it was time for some serious swimming, so, while OTL was looking for the lost ball, I went in for a paddle!

Me with my paws nearly off the ground!

We got dragged off the beach and sent back to wee'ing and sniffin and chasing rabbits!

Over the horizon we saw some woofers charging towards us, it was Max and Oscar and Bella.

Bella is a bit old and doesn't come out too often! Mind you, it didn't stop her from giving us a good woofin!

Bella doing a 'Serious Woof'!

Back home OTL was playing on the computer doing 'Things' so we left him alone and spent a pleasurable afternoon woofin at the pigeons and collard doves that dared to land in the garden!

Holly even spent some time relaxing by the pond!

Off for some diner now, well some of OTL's if we can mug some off him!

luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

We get wet!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here!

Just wot happened to the sun?

We were up good and early this morning and all I saw outside the window was rain!

I went into see Snowflake and told her about the wet stuff and she said that we are 'on our own' and she went back to bed!

Out of my way, I'm off back to bed!

Well, Holly and I had our rain coats on and even Old Two Legs had his waterproofs on as well! Off we went to The Sea Wall, when we got there it was hardly raining! We kept our rain coats on and proceeded to Hunt Some Rabbit!

Here Wabbit, here!

Mind you, when we were dragged away from the rabbits and along the Sea Wall, we decided that we really don't like the rain, even though we had rain coats!

I'm getting wetter!

 I stopped for a wee and Holly stood on the path and told me to 'Hurry Up' 'cos she was getting too damp!

Come on Girl, get yourself sorted out!

We met up with Max and Oscar who went potty over OTL, as normal, so predictable!

Yo OTL!

Oscar wanted to know where Snowflake was 'cos he wanted to give her a woof!

OTL spotted the first dandelion flowers, so, there he was, on his knees, taking pictures! It was a good job he had his waterproofs on or he would have got soaked!

First Dandelion!

I must admit, we got bored with all that flower stuff and went back to chasing Rabbits!

Chaaaaarge

Back home we told Snowflake all about the rabbits and OTL's flower and Max and Oscar.

Snowflake said that, providing the sun comes out, she will come with us at lunchtime!

Come on then, let me out!

Well, the sun came out and we all had a super walk down on The Sea Wall and Snowflake even got stroked by the fishermen we often see down on the Sea Wall. One said his Dad used to keep ferrets and we thought it funny 'cos he must be at least seventy years old, the fisherman not his dad!

Back home we spent the afternoon snoozing while OTL got out loads of paper and stuff ready to take around to the accountant.

So, not the most exciting day but at least Snowflake got her run and we got to chase a rabbit or two!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Back to Work, well, not for US!

Hi Woofers!

It's the Gang back, Daisy, Holly & Snowflake!

It wasn't so sunny this morning, in fact there was a little rain in the air and some of it fell on Old Two Legs when we all went out for a walk! OTL is a crafty two legs, whenever he puts Snowflake down for a run, she turns around and heads in the opposite direction, confusing us all!

So, OTL, being a sneaky OTL, puts both Holly and me on our lead, then gets Snowflake out of her travelling cage, puts her on her lead and marches off past the Rabbit Hunting Ground right to the point where we normally turn around and head back to the car. By the time we get there, Snowflake has woken up, sniffed the air and decided that a run on the ground would be a 'Good Idea' !

Down she goes and as OTL says, she can run whatever direction she pleases! She does, normally back towards the car but does the normal route in reverse! She is one crazy ferret!

This morning, because of the rain, the grass was wet, so Snowflake got a bit 'Damp'!

OTL was a little concerned and didn't hang about for Holly and I when we got to the 'Rabbit & Rat' bush. So, off he went to get Snowflake rubbed down and back in the car, leaving us two to have a mooch around!

Which we did and I found a really Super Stinky Smelling Sniff that just cried out to be rolled in!

Holly, little Miss Goody Four Paws, said that I would be in trouble when OTL comes back but you know, I just didn't care!

So, absolutely covered in the S.S.S.S. I then set off hunting rabbit!

Holly had gone after OTL and was waiting for him when he came back to look for us. He asked where I was but Holly said she hadn't seen me for a while 'cos she reckons that if she denies all knowledge of me, then she won't get into trouble!

She is Such A Wimp!

You know, it took a good fifteen minutes before  OTL found me and I was 'Seriously Grubby'!

Back home we go, I ended up getting a wash from the tip of my nose to the tip of my tail and all parts inbetween!

Miss Goody Four Paws didn't escape either although she just got her paws, tummy and bottom washed!

That set us up for some freshly cooked chicken and then a snooze, just to let it all go down!

I ended up in the office with OTL while he finished messing about on the computer, mind you, I was keeping a close eye on him!

I Spy with My Little Eye!

Lunchtime was a gentle stroll again but he made sure we stayed away from the rabbits, spoilsport!

We met up with a few of the lads and Holly had a long chat while OTL and I waited for her to finish!

She is Still Gassing!

 Then after both OTL and I had almost fallen asleep waiting for Holly to finish, up she trots, all smiles and waggly tail and says, 'Been Waiting Long?'

Waiting for me?

On the way back to the car there were one or two funny noises that demanded my attention but in the end I decided that they were not dangerous and we could carry on with our walk!

Wotsat? Could be a Nargle!

Again, as we got near to the Rabbit Ground, we got put back on the lead! I'll be glad when he stops all this and begins to trust us again!

Snowflake has been sleeping for most of the afternoon, just coming out of her sleeping bag for a couple of slurps of Ferretone and a cuddle with OTL.

She's getting a big softy now and has even stopped nipping OTL, you know, I don't think he has any bite marks on his hand at all now!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

A Bank Holiday Like Wot it Used to Be, (According to OTL)

Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here!

Now we know that Old Two Legs is as old as the hills, and maybe a bit older, but he was telling us about when he was a youngster and how wonderful the weather was on Bank Holidays. We are just amazed that  he can remember back that far!

Well, he says that today has been the best Bank Holiday for many years, maybe he is right, we can only remember back three years!

We were going down the Forest but because it has been so hot, we decided to go down on The Sea Wall and enjoy the sea breezes.

Now, that's OK by us, including Snowflake 'cos she hasn't been down the Forest yet!

This morning we were kept on a 'Short Lead' 'cos OTL said he was fed up being pulled all over the place by us three! So we got taken to the very middle of our walk where we turn to go home and then it was Snowflakes turn to decide where we went, we went ever where, past the Rabbits, along The Sea Wall, around the back of the Rabbit Bushes, behind the Car Park and finally back down to the Rabbit Bushes!

I don't know about her but we were worn out!

Back home to Doggy Scoff  and a snooze while OTL finished off the big car.

OTL came back in and started to clean out Snowflakes house. He was vacuuming out all the old Ferret Nuggets from the second floor in Snowy Heights when he heard Holly doing her 'Warning Growl', hey up, thought OTL that's not like her. So off he went to investigate.

I was on top of the bed looking down onto Holly's bed on the floor. She was curled up inside her bed, having a well earned snooze, except that she was being woken up by a ferret licking the inside of her ear!

Snowflake was giving it some stick, slurp, slurp, lick, lick!

Holly was doing the 'ifyoukeeponlickingmyearlikethatI'mgoingtotakethattoungeofyoursandshoveitwherethesundon'tshineSavvy?'

I think that OTL got to Snowflake just in time and Holly got a 'Good Girl' and a stroke from OTL.

OTL said that in Ferret Land, ear licking is a way of bonding. Holly said that if she does it again she will bond Snowflake to the back of the Rag and Bone mans horse and cart!

Lunch time we went down to the Sea Wall again and it was so crowded, loads of people, all over the place!

Too Many Cars!

Too many People and some were Cooking Food! 

That was just too much for Holly, she said that they should be banned from tormenting poor little doggy's like us!

Cooking Food!

No matter where we went we couldn't get away from them!

Oh No Not More Of Them!

OTL and Holly were playing on the beach chasing Whelk Egg Sacks around, I decided that OTL should throw the ball, and I told him so, trouble was, he had forgotten the ball!

Oi Where's The Ball?

 As we got to the end of the Sea Wall where we turn around and head back to the car, we spotted a really Big Wobbly Bozo Type dog, sniffin along the mud and trying to look like he knew what he was doing, obviously a tourist, so we stood there for a while watching him!

Yo Bozo!

 OTL told us off for staring at him and said that one day we would get a good woofing at for being such rude puppy's!

As Holly says, 'He's got to catch us first!'

I found a Super Sniff to roll in, so I waited for OTL and Holly to get ahead and had a seriously good roll before OTL spotted me and chased me back to the car calling me a 'Smelly Nelly'!

Do I care?

 

This is really Living!

 Because it was a bit warm this afternoon, OTL had this brilliant idea, well, he thought it was good!

He filled a big tray full of water, it was sort of luke warm and into it he put a couple of Snowflakes favourite squeaky toys. The tray was in the shower and we wondered what he was going to do.

He went and got Snowflake and put her in the shower and squeaked the toys a couple of times.

Snowflake sort of jumped over the side to get her toys and went head first into the water!

She jumped out very quickly!

Then OTL picked her up and lowered her, tail first, back into the tray. Well we decided that Snowflake was not into swimming or water, we could tell that by the way she jumped out of the tray and went flying towards OTL who picked her up and wrapped her in a towel and dried her off!

Snowflake said she doesn't do water or swimming or getting wet!

Ho well, I'm the only one who likes a paddle!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (still with a damp tail!)

Wot a Super Day!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here!

Hasn't it been a super sunny day! We were out with Snowflake early this morning and she was doing her normal 'Running Backwards' trick! I must admit, we got a bit bored, so, what are a  couple of puppies going to do?

Hunt Rabbit!

That was it, off we went and into the 'Rabbit Patch', as Old Two :Legs calls it and it so strange how we seem to go deaf when we get in there!

OTL did what he normally does, take Snowflake back to the car, and we, Hunt Rabbit!

We managed to kick one up and off we went!

I somehow found myself in the next field that has a fence all the way around. It is the same one that Holly got trapped in when she went chasing rabbits and now, I was trapped!

i could hear OTL calling and whistling but I couldn't get back to him and I couldn't find the hole where I got through!

I could hear OTL and Holly marching all over the place where I normally go but I couldn't let them know where I was!

Then, right around the back, OTL went through the brambles and got up next to the fence and he saw me! That was it, just like Holly, he stuck his arm through and lifted me up and over the fence and put me on top of his head!

It was a good job he was wearing his 'Indiana Jones' hat or I might have scratched his head!

That was it, we got marched back to the car and back home!

OTL then spent the rest of the morning cleaning the big car and by lunch time he had done it all except clean the windows, he will do that tomorrow!

Lunch time we were down The Sea Wall again but our 'Rabbit Hunting' was ruined by loads of tourist wandering around the place!

More Tourists!

 Holly says it's the sun that brings them out 'cos you never see them in the Winter!

Mr Corvid was complaining as well, he said that they scared off all the whelks and even the oysters were hiding!

They are So Noisy!

We met up with a real Bozo of a dog, a youngster who wanted to have a game! He cuddled up to OTL then chased us around for a bit, until Holly woofed him to keep his nose to himself!

He is a funny Bozo so we don't mind him jumping about!

You can call me Bozo if you want!

 When we got back home it was a case of Find A Cool Spot and have a snooze!

It's a doggy thing you know!

Tomorrow it is a holiday so I expect OTL will take us down to the Forrest for a run around 'cos he wants to have a look for more flowers!

See you tomorrow and we hope it is as much fun as ours!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

Clean Caravan, Raspberries and a Thunder Storm!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here with you again!

Today Old Two Legs had planned to clean the caravan and the car but it didn't quite work out for him. First of all we went out for our walk and Snowflake came alone as well. She did her normal trick of wanting to go the opposite way to us, so, OTL said that Snowflake could decide on where we go and off she went, all around the back of the rabbit woods and along the path back to the car. Not the longest walk but it made a change! Then we set off to our favourite rabbit hunting ground and even Snowflake had a 'Ferret About' looking for rabbit sniffs!

Huntin' Rabbit!

OTL got fed up and picked Snowflake up, called us and marched us all of to the furthest point of our walk. Then putting Snowflake down, she started to run back to the car!

We let her go back with OTL while we went back to Hunting Rabbit!

Back home we had Chicken & Biscuits while OTL gathered together all the stuff needed to wash the caravan. We had such fun, woofing and blowing Raspberries at OTL while he was sloshing soapy water all over the place!

It was fun but our lunchtime walk was late 'cos OTL took ages to clear everything up! On top of that he didn't clean the car, said he would leave that until tomorrow!

We went out down to The Sea Wall but OTL kept a close eye on us and wouldn't let me go visiting the rabbits!

Me, being closely watched!

 I kept close to OTL, not that I wanted to be that close, it was just that he said he would put me on the lead if I didn't!

I don't think he trusts me!

Holly was playing the Miss Goody Four Paws and said that she was trying to fly but she didn't quite make it off the ground!

Nearly, very Nearly Airborne!

 Heading back to the car we saw a big storm over Essex, there was thunder and lightning which started to worry us but OTL put us both on the lead and got us back to the car in double quick time!

We are looking forward to a lazy evening, you know, stretched out on the sofa, chewing on a carrot and maybe mugging OTL for some Shortbread!

Tomorrow it is a wash and brush up for the big car, so we expect to sit watching him from the window!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake (Snoozing)

Our Pond!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here again.

We have been reading 'The Mail' and see that a visitation is being planned by Archie's Mum! Yes, she is coming down for one of The Missus's 'Card Thingy Wossits'! That means we will have to be on good behaviour (not easy), and that includes Snowflake as well!

Will we get to meet Archie?

This morning we got into trouble, again, as normal, 'cos we rushed off to chase the rabbis again while Old Two Legs was walking with Snowflake, in the opposite direction!

Well, it is so boring going so slow!

Back home OTL got out the Camcorder again to try to get a shot of a bug that he has seen in the pond. As you can guess, the bug stayed hidden and OTL got side tracked into watching Water Boatmen and Giant Pond Snails! You know, those pond snails can really get a move on when they put their mind to it!

So, there he is, trying to look all 'Professional' like his hero Gordon Buchanan but the bug stayed hidden and OTL got all aching and creaky in his knees, well he is an 'Old Duffer'!

Have a look



Back up in the office, Snowflake was doing her 'Drawer Tidying' bit and emptied everything into the back of the drawer cavity!

Then she went off exploring again and manged to fall off the desktop, into a box of paper wrapping, then the box fell off the box it was standing on and two boxes and a ferret went crashing to the floor!

She decided to have a rest!

It's Hard Work being a Ferret!

Mind you, it did give OTL a chance to take what he calls a 'Fully Automatic' shot. It involves setting the camera to 'Automatic Everything' Aperture, Speed, ISO, Focus and anything else that can be Auto. Then he puts the camera on the floor, points it towards Snowflake, guesses the zoom factor and presses the shutter release, some times it works and sometimes it doesn't, this time........?

I can do Cute!

A slurp of Ferretone and back to bed for Miss Snowflake!

We have a bird box on one of the fence panels in the garden and it has a door opening set for a wren but today we saw a  Red-tailed bumblebee fly into the box and stay there! So I suppose that's another thing he will be keeping an eye on, just in case the bumblebee sets up home there!

Lunch time came and we were off to The Sea Wall again and Holly found a super sniff that just had to be rolled in!

Life is GOOD!

I got into trouble, again! Well, there was OTL and Holly having a game on the beach, kicking an old football that had got washed up on the beach, and I got sort of, bored, if you know what I mean.

I'm getting Bored!

I sort of got the idea that the rabbits would be out again, and I just 'had' to have a look, and off I went, even though OTL was whistling and calling and jumping up and down!

OTL had come all the way from the beach and stand outside the bramble bushes calling me. When I decide that I was in just enough trouble to get away with a telling off, I came out.

You know what? I was put on the lead for the rest of the walk! Most unfair!

I'm in The Poo again!

Well, that was it,back home for a very enjoyable afternoon snooze on the bed. Holly joined me and fell asleep on OTL's pillow!

Not sure what is happening tomorrow, maybe an adventure, maybe Snowflake will be allowed in the caravan?

I'll let you know!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

It's Thursday Already!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake here!


Well, today Old Two Legs has been getting all in a state. He has been rushing around like a Blue Tail fly getting all the stuff done before the weekend arrives 'cos he has got to get the caravan cleaned!

It's a Weekend Job 'cos there is a load of other stuff to do as well  but we will be OK 'cos we will be inside the caravan pulling faces at him!

Today we had another early morning run with Snowflake who was doing her 'Reversing Trick'. That is where she turns around and tries to wiggle he way out of the harness!

We went after the rabbits again and chased a couple around the trees but they must have a secret entrance to their home 'cos all of a sudden they disappeared!

OTL took us out to do deliveries and we stopped at the Riverside Park, we haven't been there for some time,so loads of new sniffs!

There is a big field where us doggies can have a run around and chase balls and stuff like that.

Holly and I were having fun when I spotted this big hairy old Alsatian walking around the edge of the field. I got all brave and had a woof at him.

Nothing.

So I went into into 'Rude Mode', that is going Woof, Woof, Whoooo!

Still nothing!

That was it, serious challenge, rude woof with an insult!

Woof, woof, Whoooooo Whoooooo Whooooooooooooooooo!

Nothing!

Holly walked past and said 'You know, that dogs deaf?'

I felt such a fool!

Back home to some Lambs Heart and a snooze!

See you tomorrow, with some pictures we hope!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake

I almost go swimming!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake back again!

It has been a wonderful day today, sun shine, long walks, rabbit hunting and a swim, almost!

We started off this morning thinking that Snowflake would stay in bed while we went off to The Sea Wall but just as we were about to leave, she decided she would come with us 'cos the rain cloud looked like it was being blown away across to Essex, (a good place for it to go!)

When we got down there, Snowflake decided to do her normal trick of going the wrong way! I got fed up waiting and shot off to find some rabbits, Holly decided that rabbits were more fun than ferrets and ran after me and we both got put on the lead when Old Two Legs caught up with us both!

Snowflake said that the rabbit holes were not really that interesting 'cos there were no rabbits in them.

So off we went and Snowflake decided that she would rather be back in her cage, so OTL took her back and we went for another stroll along the Sea Wall but we were kept away from the rabbit holes!

Back home it was a brush then we had to have our anti flea stuff on our backs but we did get some freshly cooked chicken and biscuits!

Off for a snooze until lunch time when OTL needed to go out to do some deliveries and on the way back, we stopped off at The New Park!

Well, the first thing I did, after a wee, was to find some really smelly stuff to have a roll in!

This is the Life!

 Holly thought it was a big laugh and kept on calling out that I was 'In Trouble', especially when she shouted out that OTL was on his way over to me!

You're in Trouble now!

I didn't mind 'cos I knew we were going to pass the Swimming Hole and I would at least get my paws wet!

When we got there I dived in and had a splash about and said 'Hello' to the gang!

Hanging out with 'The Lads'

Then I fell off the ledge and got wet all over! That sorted out the sniff on my back!

OK, Now I'm wet all over!

I managed to get back on dry land again and had a good shake that managed to get some water all over OTL!

Getting the water out of my ears!

Holly was sitting on the bench and kept on calling me a Bozo! She reckons that anyone who goes in swimming has just got to be a Bozo of the first order!

Daisy, You really are a Bozo!

We had a run around the 'Orchard' which is a two mile trip and of course, OTL was looking out for the birds who were singing away. The one below is called a Meadow Pipit!

Tweet, Tweet?

 We were both worn out by the time we got back to the car and of course, we did enjoy a very long slurp of water that OTL had brought with us, even he had a slurp as well but not from our bowl but the bottle!

OK, that's enough, take us Home!

After the slurp we headed back home for a good evening snooze before going to bed proper like!

A perfect end to another perfect day!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly & Snowflake!
