A Wet Bank Holiday and a Load of Codds Wollop!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here again!

We got up a little later than normal this morning, that's 'cos we stayed up late last night. Well, we had loads of singing and laughing and running around the garden!

When we did get up and looked out of the window, it was raining!

You know, that's just not fair!

It stopped long enough for our morning walk, but the wet grass did it's best to give us a good wash!

We had a run on the beach and the ferrets played a game of 'King of The Castle' on one of the breakwater posts!

Gerroff! It's My Castle!

In the end it was Snowflake who shoved Mr Brambles off and claimed possession!

Mine all MINE!

 That was until we reminded her that she had to pay council tax on a castle and she decided to forgo the pleasure of becoming a house holder and stick with Snowy Heights in Old Two Legs office!

As the tide was out I spent some time mooching along the beach looking for interesting sniffs but the rain had washed most of them away!

Not much today!

 Snowflake said she had found a 'Super Sniff' but it turned out to be a pile of Sea Gull Poo!

It sniffs all Fishy!

 Holly said she was rather bored with it this morning, no interesting sniffs and too long waiting for OTL to move the ferrets along!

No Running, No Sniffs and it's raining

Holly doesn't do rain and it started to spit, so, that was it, back to the car for a rub down and back home to 'Doggy Scoff'!

YUK!

Now, to add insult upon insult, they all went out leaving us at home! The lame excuse about dogs not being allowed into Rochester Cathedral or the local museum was a fabrication!

But leave us they did.

Mind you, it was absolutely bucketing down, so I don't think that we would have liked it too much, especially if we had to stay outside tied to the railings!  

Inside the cathedral OTL was snapping away in the Crypt!

A Quiet Spot in The Crypt

 Then he got fascinated with the arched ceilings.

Taken from ground level.

You could tell it took a long time to complete and at one spot you couldn't decide if it was going to fall over or they intended it to be wobbly!

Looks very wobbly to me!

Of course, The Missus just  had to visit the local craft supplies shop and in the end brought nothing and was late for church as well!

Naughty TM!

Late Again!

In the Museum they had a section on Dickens, of course, but it looked very Dark and Victorian, too gloomy for me!

Gloomy!

But we did enjoy the bottle of Pop and the description.

What a Load of ............!

You didn't know that did you?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

We Got Visitors!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Hi Ho what a busy day!

We got visitors this weekend and we are being spoilt rotten!

Even the Ferrets!

Pleeese can I have some more milk!

 You can guess what Mr Brambles was interested in!

The Missus has had to put all her card making stuff away!

Go on! Just one small Splodge on a card?

Mr Brambles kept on to Old Two Legs about the milk!

Well, if I cant have milk, what about a cuddle?

 In the end they got the last of the Lactose Free milk, tomorrow it's Goats Milk, now that should be fun.

If we like the Goats Milk, do you think he would get a goat to come and stay?

Well, we must be off now as it's rude to leave the guests alone with the drinks cabinet!

See you soon!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Here! Wot's this Wet Stuff?

Hello Woofers!

We are back again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We got up this morning and looked out the window, it was horrid, there was rain drops falling out of the sky and making big puddles in the garden!

Mind you, at least the pond gets some fresh water!

The ferrets weren't too keen on going out in the rain! They had a chat about it over their 'Breakfast Slurp' of milk and decided that they would go, providing they could come back if it rained again.

If it rains, then we come home, OK?

 Miss Snowflake really loves the milk and walks around licking her whiskers and going Mmmm!

Mmmmm!

 Mr Brambles loves it to and after a good slurp, loves to play games with OTL or Snowflake. This morning he was jumping about all over the place and he even rearranged the squeaky balls!

Oi! Leave my toys alone!

 Off we went and it looked like the rain had stopped, we got down to the Sea Wall and while OTL was watching Mr Brambles having a dig of the path, I spotted a rabbit, sitting very still, in the middle of the path!

I stopped, looked and looked again.

The rabbit stopped and looked and looked again!

We both just stood there looking at each other, neither of us making and movement at all!

Come to Me....COME to ME.......COME TO MEEEE!

I was trying a bit of 'Hypnosis' on him and was softly saying 'Come to me' but in the end he blew a big raspberry at me just as I started to run towards him.

He got away!

We headed off to the top of the hill and guess what? It started to rain!

Holly had done a Poo on the way up the hill, the ferrets had both done a Poo at the top of the hill and as we headed back to the car, I did a Poo on the way down!

The only one who hadn't poo'd was OTL and he said he would wait until he got home!

So, back in the car we got a good rub down with one of our Doggy Towels and all felt better for it, except OTL, who got wet trousers and was complaining about cold wet legs, all the way home!

What a Wimp!

Our breakfast of chicken went down a treat and afterwards we headed off to OTL's office for a snooze. The ferrets had already had their breakfast and were in La La Land!

Lunch time came and looking out the window, the rain had stopped.

It Fooled us!

As soon as we got the car door open in the car park, down it came!

OTL says that he will put our coats on, Holly says 'Why? I'm not getting out of the car!'

Then started a tussle, first I got called to the back of the car and after a bit I reluctantly let OTL dress me in my coat. Then it was Holly's turn, 'Come Here' says OTL, 'Not Woofin' Likely' says Holly, and so it went on until OTL walked around the side of the car, opened the door and pulled Holly towards the back to have her coat put on.

Holly was not happy!

' OK', says OTL 'Off We Go!'

Not Woofin' Likely' says Holly and me.

OTL tries to pull us both out the back of the car, we put our heads down and dig our claws in.

'We Ain't Going!' we say.

'Yes! You Woofing Will' says OTL, with both of his boots on the bumper and pulling on the lead and leaning back as though he's on a racing yacht!

We all fall out of the car and onto the Car Park!

We were marched over to the beginning of the walk and OTL took the lead off us.

Holly walked into the grass for a wee.

I stood still.

OTL walked ahead calling for us to follow.

I stood still.

Holly stayed in the grass.

OTL called some more.

I stood still.

Holly stayed in the grass pretending she was still weeing.

OTL walked back and stood behind me and gave a shove with his shin.

I stood still.

Holly still stayed in the grass!

OTL then put our lead back on and pulled us along the path!

We were not happy!

We got marched around the first bit of the walk and landed up at the turn off which is the short cut back to the car.

I suppose OTL had made his point, 'He Is In Charge', and so had we, 'We Don't Want To Go!'

Back to the car and straight in for a rub down with the Doggy Towel!

Once we got home we both headed for |OTL's office and our Day Bed for and afternoon snooze.

That's much better, no nasty water dripping down your collar!

See you tomorrow!

Rain permitting!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Wednesday is for Swimming, Almost!

Hi Ho Woofers!

We're back again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

Hasn't it been warm today?

We were out good and early this morning for our run, as normal, Snowflake wanted to be carried to the beach. You know she may be fast going home but she is a right Diva wanting to be carried all the way down there in the first place! Mind you, Old Two Legs secretly enjoys the cuddle he gets from her, well, it makes a change from the nips he used to get every time he put his hand near her!

We had a great time on the beach, Holly and I were running up and down playing chase while Mr Brambles got stuck into some serious digging.

There is holes and there is HOLES!

 Holly and I offered to help him but he 'Woofed' us off, in ferret!

Gerroff Me Hole!

We went back to playing chase and at one point I got the ferret lead from Mr Brambles caught around my leg which made me yelp and it dragged Mr Brambles along the sand!

OTL soon sorted us out and there was no harm done.

Holly said she could see it coming and just couldn't look!

I Just Can't Look!

 Mr Brambles trotted down to the rock pool and washed his paws before starting off for home.

Off for a Wash & Brush Up!

 Mind you, when we got home he was soon flat out on his cushion snoring his head off!

I'm Knackered!

We got some super steak today, makes a welcome change from that nasty Doggy Scoff!

It didn't take us long before we too were crashed out on the bed enjoying out morning snooze!

Lunch time, the tide was right in and I went for one of my 'Deep Paddles' in fact, I got so deep in the water that only the top of my head stayed dry!

Oops! The Bottoms Gone!

OTL was throwing a cork in the water for me but it soon drifted away and I had to let it go!

This is Super Cool Today!

 Holly left me to get on with swimming and wandered off to have a chat with the fishermen, we found her in the shade of the bench discussing the tackle set up they were using.

I didn't know she was that interested it fishing!
 

Well, I prefer the Pennel Rig sea fishing rig but with two swivels and a half ounce weight myself!

 As you would guess, OTL was snapping away at the insects, which, because it was midday and very warm, they were flitting about all over the place!

There was the Common Carder Bee.

I'm not Common, I'm Special!

 Then OTL spotter a Chaser Dragonfly, but he is not sure what Chaser it is.

It has two spots, one on each wing, so, is it a four spot or is it a two spot? A quick look on the Internet has confused him even more!

So at the moment, unless you know what it is, it looks like we have a possible female, two spot chaser dragonfly!

Confused? Well we are!

 Back home to a snooze, only to be woken by a delivery man bringing some ferret nuggets in a Ten Kilo Bag!

I don't know where they put it all, mind you, they do poo a lot!

I wonder if they do a Ten Kilo Bag of Chews?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles (Still Snoozing!)

Tuesdays are Better and I'm in the Poo Again!

Hi Woofers!

It's The Gang back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles!

We were up and running early today, we even managed to wake The Missus up, which is very unusual 'Cos it's her that normally wakes everyone else up!

The ferrets were still half asleep when Old Two Legs went in to start clearing out their house, but they soon woke up when the milk was poured!

Snowflake got her snout in first and poor old Mr Brambles was getting desparate for a drink!

In the end Snowflake let him have a slurp and he finished the bowl off after she had drunk her fill!

It was fun walking, even though Snowflake refused to get down from OTL's arm until he was on the beach!

Only after that did she wake up enough to have a little dig.

Only a small hole today!

 After she had finished her dig, she chased after Mr Brambles and the pair of them  started on the run back to the car park.

Ready, Steady, GO!

 It was Miss Snowflake who would have won but OTL wouldn't take off her lead!

Something about trusting her less than he trusts us!

We didn't get a lot of photographs either, after the first two, the battery died, so, being prepaired for such things, OTL got the spare battery out of his pocket and changed them over.

Trouble was, he hadn't charged the spare battery from the last time the battery died!

Wot a Plonker!

Mind you, he got a fresh camera battery for our lunch time walk and it was great, we went to The New Park!

Of course, the first thing I did was to go 'Deep Paddling' just to cool off. Holly even went in for a little paddle!

Cooling Off!

There were loads of other dogs splashing about in the Swimming Hole and having fun!

After that we went over the road to what is called The Orchard. In The Orchard there are sneaky rabbits, sneaky 'cos the keep in the long grass and the undergrowth, so that means I have to go diving into the undergrowth to flush them out.

They are in here, Honest!

OTL doesn't seem to appreciate this fact and gets all 'Uppity' and wants me to stop chasing the rabbits and that's when I get in trouble, again!

Holly, Miss Goody Four Paws, hears OTL calling and says that 'I'm on my own' and goes running off to OTL.

Sometimes she can be such a Creep!

Yes OTL, I'm Here!

Well, I got put on the lead again and had to walk back and not be able to go into the swimming hole again and I had to stay close to OTL all the way back!

Guess Who s In The Poo!

Mind you, we did stop to say hello to some cattle in the field. Holly asked if it worried them, being out in the sun all day but it seems that didn't worry them 'cos they had a good wooly sort of hair that protected them from the sun burn.

Do you use Factor 35?

We met up with a youngster, only five months old, who rolled onto his back and stuck his legs in the air, he'll learn!

Get up you Silly Mutt!

 Back home we had a cooling drink and settled down to trying to mug OTL for some of his dinner.

Well, all we got is Doggy Scoff!

That TM can be so cruel sometimes!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

We've had better Mondays!

Hello Woofers!

We're back, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

It was a bit chilly this morning when we went out on our morning jog along The Sea Wall, Mr Brambles was all over the place, sniffin' the sniffs and trying to dig holes in the grass!

Snowflake just curled up in Old Two Legs arms and tried to go back to sleep!

Before we came out, both ferrets had themselves an enormous slurp of Lactose free milk and didn't they jus' love it!

Holly and me enjoyed our bowl full as well, all lovely and cold and super tasting!

I wonder how long it will last and what the Goats Milk will be like?

Back to our run.

We met up with Mercedes, an big Bozo Labrador that thinks the sun shines out of OTL's ears!
He had a sniff of Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake but OTL had them safe in his arms and had promised not to let Mercedes get anywhere near them!

We carried on down to the beach and Snowflake had fun doing some digging, along with Mr Brambles who jumped up on OTL's lap 'cos he wanted a cuddle, but not for long!

We all ran back our normal route and once again OTL had to pick up the ferrets as three Spaniel types came woofing along on their way out for a walk!

After they had gone it was back down onto the grass path and off the ferrets went again.

By the time we had all got back to the car they were out of breath and enjoyed a good slurp of water!

Back home we had a super breakfast of Lambs Heart and were settling down to a snooze when OTL got a call to go and mend a radio. So that was it, our walk down The Forest or in The New Park was scuppered, all we had to look forward to is a walk with The Missus across the Farm!

On our way back from the farm, TM took us the long way back and we walked down the road where we normally drive with OTL.

It made a nice change to get some of the sniffs we miss when we're in the car.

So, there we were, Sniffin' The Sniffs and mooching along in our own good time. TM was trying to hurry us up but we were having none of that!

Then, all of a sudden, from out of one of the houses came a couple of Two Legs, crashing through the door, shouting and howling at each other and you know what?

It almost scarred the tails off of Holly and Me!

We rushed up to TM for her to protect us and we stayed with her all the way home, just in case those Two Legs were following us!

So, that's what happened to us today and not even one photo, which is most unusual!

Just as a treat, he is one OTL took at the Butterfly Tunnel.

OTL says it was almost five inches across it's wings!

You can see it is eating a banana, it looks big enough to pick up the banana and fly off!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Ferrets House Keeping Day.

Hi Woofers!

We're back again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Although it was a Sunday, we were up early and out in the sunshine, just in case it rained later, we decided to have a really good run along The Sea Wall.

Holly and I were off looking for rabbits and we spotted one at the top of the hill, so creepy creepy, we stalked all the way along the path towards it. Yes, we know that it had seen us a long time before but it was fun trying to seek up on it and then the rush at the last moment.

Off went the rabbit, into the bushes and down the rabbit hole, all before we had a chance to get close!

Holly was most upset and spent some time trying to dig it out but in the end gave up and followed Old Two Legs and The Ferrets down onto the beach.

Mr Brambles was running around digging 'Test Holes' and pretending he was going to do some Fracking to start a, earthquake, just to wake Snowflake up!

Come on Snowflake, Wake Up!

 Holly stood guard for a while until Snowflake started to move about, she enquired if there were any good sniffs under her!

Is that Sniff worth me getting up?

 When she found out it wasn't she wandered down the beach a bit to where I had just dug up a Super Sniff, you know, one of those that calls out.........

ROLL IN ME!

 So we did!

Move Over It's My Turn Sis!

 In the mean time, Mr Brambles was digging a tunnel and was working on both ends at the same time, first one end, then the other. He said it would be a tunnel to Essex, but it would be a one way tunnel, from Kent to Essex!

This will be one end.

 He was working very hard shoveling the sand about and throwing it over his shoulder!

and this wil be the other end!

 OTL asked how it would work if both ends of the tunnel were in Kent, you would go down it in Kent and come back out, in Kent. Mr Brambles said he was working on that and would 'Come Back To Him!'

The run back to the car was good, it was only at the end that Mr Brambles had to stop for a breather, other than that he kept up and even left Snowflake behind when she stopped for a sniff!

Come on Girl, Keep Up!

 Back home to some Lactose Free Milk, both us and the ferrets licked it all up, super tasting stuff that was. We will be watching out so see if it upsets their tummies.

OTL says that when that is finished, he has some goats milk for us all to try, now that will be fun!

Today is when OTL does his 'House Cleaning' in the office and today he did the ferret house as well. Now they have a super clean, comfortable 'Snowy Heights' and OTL has rearranged  some of the shelves, just to keep them on their claws!

Mind you, it didn't stop them from climbing over the cages while OTL was waving his cleaning cloth all over the place. At one time he was being chased around the cage as both ferrets were trying to pinch the cleaning cloth!

However, when it was all finished, they both crashed out and were asleep in no time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wake me up later, much later!

We left them snoozing and went out for the midday stroll. Holly and I saw a Bozo Woofer on the beach with his owners, so we stood up on the Sea Wall and blew raspberries at him, knowing he couldn't get to us 'cos he was on a lead!

Raspberries to you Bozo!

 While we were having a game with the Bozo, OTL saw a spider scurrying along the path, so he tried to get a picture of him in full flight!

I'm Gettin' Outta Here!

He didn't want to stay and pose for OTL, I suppose he thought we may tread on him!

We met up with a little Westie we had seen before and had a quick game of 'Chase' which was good fun, that was until his owner called him away!

Bye Girls and Thanks for The Game!

Walking through the long grass, OTL had this bug land on his leg. Now we're not sure what it is. It's not a butterfly nor a wasp or a moth. It maybe some sort of bee or copy cat fly but we have not seen one like it before.

OTL says he will have a look in his books to see if he can find it!
 

OK, Wot is it?

Back home to a snooze and look forward to mugging OTL tonight!

We hope you had a good weekend as well!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Saturday and the sun gets lost!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here having fun!

Well, what did you expect? Saturday, The Missus gone to her all day Glue, Gas & Glitter meeting.

That means Old Two Legs and us get to have some fun without being told off for rushing through the house playing chase and jumping on the furniture!

First thing, we were out down the Sea Wall, didn't see any rabbits but we had fun chasing each other up and down the beach.

Snowflake fell asleep in OTL's arm on the way to the beach and only woke up after OTL had put her on the sand and Mr Brambles had given her ear a good lick!

'Where am I?' she said and we all had a good laugh about that!

OTL had to do some work this morning, so there he was plonking away on the computer and packing up stuff that is going out on Monday.

However, lunchtime came and after a light lunch we headed off to The Forest!

Now, we haven't been down the forest for some time, so, lots to catch up on!

There was a notice on the gate telling us that Highland Cattle were running free in the forest eating all the bracken and stuff, so keep dogs on a lead and under control!

Yeah, Under Control, Right!

Off we went, sniffin' the sniffs to catch up on who has been around.

Sniffin' The Sniffs!

 We kept sniffin' to see if the cattle were close but there was nothing on the ground or the air. Now that was a bit strange 'cos we kept coming across these dinner plate sized poo pats that ponged of cattle!

We carried on and kept an eye open for them.

OTL spotted a Dragon Fly flitting about and tried to catch it in mid flight. He did, but not very successfully!
 

A Fuzzy Flitting Fly!

 We carried on the path and I was looking for the squirrels that lurk in the Forest but there was no sign of a Squirrel Tail anywhere!

There be No Squirrels Here!

This was getting bad, I mean, leave the forest on it's own for too long and what happens? Cattle move in and hide in the bushes so we can't find them, Squirrels hide in the trees and don't even bother to shout down that they can see us!

Was that one?

We even tried keeping very still and listening for any movement but other than a couple of tree trunks rubbing against each other in the wind, there were no animal sounds what so ever!

I Spy With My Left Eye!

 Further along the path we came across six big Bozo Labrador dogs running and charging about. I got a bit scared and jumped up onto OTL's lap. He put his arm around me and lifted me up, out of the way of a big fat Bozo who wasn't too friendly!

OTL immediately stood up and I was hoisted out of Bozo's reach.

It was then that I started to woof and growl at the Bozo knowing he couldn't get to me.

For some reason OTL wasn't too happy with me doing that, maybe it was the three Bozo's who were sniffin' around his pockets and trying to jump up at me that was worrying OTL!

We knew OTL would keep us safe and soon we were away from the Bozo's and on the other side of the fence!

On our way home, OTL stopped at the local Tesco's and purchased a carton of Lactose Free Milk and a carton of Goats Milk!

Now we know that the Ferrets get a bit of a tummy upset after mugging OTL for his Milk & Wheaty Bangs in the morning, so, we are going to try out this new stuff.We don't know what it tastes like but it should help prevent the ferrets 'Projectile Poo'in'!

Holly is into milk and woofs it down in no time but I'm not so keen. I'll have a slurp but it's not really my thing.

However, I will at least give it a try, let's face it, you've got to try everything at least once, even Doggy Scoff!

Back home we noticed that the second Water Lily flower had bloomed, but this one is Yellow centre with white petals on the outside. More of a 'Traditional' Lily Flower!

The 'Traditional Lilly'!

So, that's our day done. We are waiting for TM to come back from her 'Glue, Gas & Glitter' day. That should be fun 'cos we make a big fuss of her while OTL has to bring in a load of her card making stuff.

You know, all the stuff she takes and it is 'Loads', she normally only makes one card and that's it!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles
