It's Good News Day for Miss Twinkle!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles here with some good news!

This morning Old Two Legs got an SMS on his phone from a man who says that Twinkle is his. OTL telephoned him back and he described Twinkle to OTL's satisfaction and he is going to come over this evening to pick her up!

It seems that OTL and the notices on all those lamp posts and bus stops did 'The Business'!

We will find out this evening the whole story of Miss Twinkle and her history, so, more news when it arrives!

Down on the beach Mr Brambles was showing off 'cos he had dug a super big hole in the sand but this morning it had gone!

He reckons someone had pinched it!

OK, Who Nicked Me Hole?
 Miss Snowflake said she would help him look for it but we reckon she was just trying to calm him down!

I'll Look Up Here Dear!
 Mind you, it didn't help with us two woofers calling out 'It's Behind You!'

Doesn't he show off so?
Miss Snowflake asked where all the cockles had gone 'cos all that remained was the shells but Mr B was too busy looking for his hole. He even suggested we had something to do with it, as if!

So Many Shells, So Few Holes!
On the Rock Wall, Miss Snowflake was demonstrating the 'Reverse Climb' to us. She said that it was easy for her to do it as she is very fond of walking backwards. Holly said that you have to be careful going backwards 'cos you may fall into a hole.

Mr Brambles was Not Amused!

And this is the Reverse Traverse!
It wasn't long before Mr Brambles got fed up with our jokes and decided it was time to get home for some breakfast!

Come on Girl, Home!
We had chicken for breakfast this morning which is a lot better than Doggy Scoff and of course, we spent all morning snoozing in OTL's office. Miss Twinkle came out and had a cuddle with OTL and even managed to fall asleep on OTL's arm with her head resting on his fingers!

I think she will miss cuddles with OTL when she leaves!

Lunch time we were out again and OTL took his Infrared Camera Thingy to have a play as the sun was shining.

I asked if OTL would take a picture of me doing my 'Flying Trick' and now that I've looked at it, don't I look serious!

Low Flying Pooch!
 Holly wouldn't have a go at flying, she said that the best she would do was to sit in the passenger seat and let OTL do the flying home!

Stuff Flying, just drive me home!
About half way through the afternoon Miss Twinkles owner called to pick her up and it seems that she is part of a 'Working Pack' of ferrets. She hasn't got a name but OTL told him we called her Miss Twinkle!

He said that she was a feisty ferret and would only stay in the same cage as her brother, who looks exactly the same as her!

So, she is a lucky ferret to get back home after about three weeks of being lost, one week spent with us and two weeks living on her own!

The only camera OTL had to hand was the Infrared Thingy, so, here you are, a final picture of Miss Twinkle before she left OTL to go back to her home.

Bye Bye Twinkle!
Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake said that as much as they liked having Twinkle stay with us, it was a lot more 'Comfortable' being back with just the two of them!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, and Mr Brambles.

Miss Twinkle said Bye Bye to you as well!

The Hunt is On!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles back again!

Another sunny but windy day today!

Old Two Legs was treated to a good 'Get Up' licking this morning, about four thirty, well, we had just completed another 'Puppy Patrol' around the house and wanted to 'Report In'!

OTL just grumbled and turned over and went back to sleep!

The ferrets had some fun on the beach, Holly and I start to dig a big hole when Mr Brambles charged in and took it over! He is a right bully sometimes, I mean, it was our idea and our hole!

We'll Be Back!
 Of course, Mr Brambles went off to do his own thing and I thought it was safe to get back in the hole, little did I know who was creeping up behind!

Softly Softly!
 Just when I got going, who should creep in? Miss 'Sneaky' Snowflake!

Nearly scared to Tail off me!

Yikes! Where did she come from!
That was it, we gave up digging and headed back home for an exciting bowl of Doggy Scoff!

Lunch time the tide was right in and the wind was blowing down the Medway, so although it was sunny, it was still a bit cold when the wind got into your face!

We spotted a couple of Fishermen on the beach and OTL passed the time of day with his normal question of 'Any Luck Yet?' 'No' was the answer but as one said, 'it's better than working!'

Nothing Yet!
 It was fun watching the waves crash into the Sea Wall and Holly asked if I fancied a swim, Silly Woofer!

Wet and Windy!
 OTL that it would be too cold for swimming or even a paddle and as Holly was standing at the Sea Wall a wave splashed up in front of her!

Close one!
We met up with a few of the lads and of course all of them said 'Hello' to OTL and they all had a cuddle with him. The wind was a bit strong and pretty soon we were all asking to get on home!


Pleeeese! Let's Go Home!
Back home the ferrets were still sleeping, Mr Brambles on the cushion, Miss Snowflake in the SAS Bag and Miss Twinkle was half in and half out of the Ssssh Bag!

OTL had printed up some notices and sealed them in laminate to protect them from the rain. Off we went and using cable ties, he strapped them to loads of lamp posts and bus stops all along the main road in and out of the area where Twinkle had been found, and he even put one outside the school gates!

So,  fingers crossed, Twinkles owners may see the notices and give OTL a ring, but if they don't, well, I'm sure that in time she will settle down with us!

OTL reckons that she is a 'Lone Ferret' 'cos when she is with Mr Brambles and Snowflake she is a bit 'Snappy' but when she is outside the cage and in OTL's arms, she will happily lay on his arm for twenty minutes being stroked with out wriggling or trying to move!

So OTL reckons that she has a family somewhere who hopefully is missing her and will see the notices on the lamp posts, claws crossed!

Let's see what the next few days will bring!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles.

No Videos Today!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles here again!

You know, we reckon that we have just two more names we can add to the list before it spills over into two lines!

It has been a Sunny Sunday down here in North Kent. Old Two Legs got his paddle around the office this morning on his rowing machine. We have been checking on the settings and he is now at the maximum drag and is averaging fifteen hundred strokes in a thirty minute paddle!

Oooh! He is so fit!

Fit for what we aren't too sure but he does try!

This morning Miss Twinkle had her very own bowl of Lactose Free Milk! Yesterday she managed to rob a few slurps off Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake but today it was a bowl full for her!

A Slurping Trio!
Down on the beach it was all sunshine and a little wind, just to keep the temperature down! Miss Snowflake took a little while to get going but a couple of cuddles from Mr Brambles got her moving and soon she was chasing after OTL asking to be picked up!

Come on Girl, get your tail in gear!
 Mr Brambles was well into hole digging again and this time it sort of grew into a deep trench!

Brambles Earth Moving and Trenching Company!
While all this digging was going on Holly and I set off to investigate a particularly strange sniff on the beach. It was coming from something that had been washed up on the tide but we couldn't work out what it was or had been!

Holly did suggest that we may sneak a quick roll but when we looked around, there was OTL, watching us while the ferrets dug holes around his feet!

What do you reckon, worth a roll?
 There was a load of noise when the Oyster Catchers landed for a feed. Mr Brambles asked it they tasted of chicken and Holly said that every bird tastes of chicken!

Oyster Catching Chickens?
Back home things were looking up, Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake were cuddled up in their Ssssh Sleeping bag when Miss Twinkle stuck her head over the side and nipped Mr Brambles!

OTL told Miss Twinkle off and she backed off and went for a wander around Snowy Heights!

She is certainly testing the boundaries with the other two and Miss Snowflake looks like she is getting the worse of it.  When she gets too worried she climbs up to the hammock and rattles the cage so that OTL opens the door and she climbs into his hands and arm for a cuddle, just to make it all better. It would be a shame if Miss Twinkle got too bossy and OTL had to make a decision on her continued residence in Snowy Towers! Mind you, OTL has come up with another explanation, Miss Twinkle has yet to learn her manners! You see, she likes to snooze in the 'Ssssh Bag' and it maybe that she was trying to get the other two out so she could climb in for a snooze?

Typical teenager, no manners and they think the world is theirs!

A bit later, we were all having a snooze and when OTL looked into Snowy Heights and he saw.......

Getting Better!
So, maybe there is hope, but it has only been five days since Miss Twinkle arrived and three days since they were put together, so we have some time before the question comes up!

Down on the Sea Wall at lunch time, the sun was still shining and as it is Sunday, all the Two Legs were out for a stroll, or in this case, a sit down!

Sunday on The Beach!
No sign of any food, so Holly and I didn't even stop!

A bit further on we came across Lucy and we have met her before and she is a right 'Grumble Guts' growling at us for no reason at all! When her owner tried to give us a nibble, Lucy nearly bit our heads off! She was going potty! In the end she refused to look at us and just stood there grumbling!

Grumble Guts Lucy!
We didn't hang around, well, if we weren't going to get a nibble or a sniff, then it was a waste of time hanging around!

Just around the corner we met up with Jack & Joe, a couple we hadn't seen before. We all had a sniff and Holly asked if the felt silly in those jackets on a sunny day like today!

Silly? They said they felt terribly embarrassed and almost ashamed to show their tails!

This is So Embarrassing!
It was very difficult not to laugh, so we trotted on trying to suppress our giggling!

Back home, the ferrets were still asleep, so it was all quiet in Snowy Heights!

It was good to read that Archie has finally got his boiler installed, now he can go back to snoozing on the blanket instead of having to cuddle up and share it with everyone!

We're off to watch a DVD now and then afterwards, OTL will have a game with the ferrets, just before they go to bed for the night.

It's a hard life being a Four Legs in this house you know!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles.

OTL's a Plonker, OTL's a Plonker!

Hi Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles!

And, just for Michael, it's always 'Ladies First'!

Well, didn't we have a laugh this morning when we looked at the video and realised that he had put on the 'Out-Takes' instead of the proper one!

As Holly says 'Wot A Plonker!'

So, here you are, the real one!

Miss Twinkle meets the Gang, II



First thing this morning we were off to take The Missus up to the village hall for her 'Master Class', you should have seen the amount of stuff she takes!

Next was the beach, again there was just as much water on land as there was out to sea! OTL says that there is more coming plus a Spring Tide, so that should be interesting at lunch time!

The Curlew  called out that he had heard that Ferret tasted like worm and would we care to throw him one!

Snowflake said that all birds taste like chicken and would we throw her!

OTL said we all had to leave the birds alone. Spoil Sport! Mind you, a 'Flying Ferret' would be an unusual sight, even for The River Medway!


Tasty Chicken?
 Mr Brambles and I were playing chase and he offered to run behind me but I knew what he was up to, he just wanted to nip my legs, sneaky little ferret!

You are just Too Crafty Mr B!
 Snowflake was shivering to wake up and she said that the camera couldn't focus on her 'cos she was shivering so badly and could OTL pick her up?

OTL suggested she do a couple of laps around the beach to wake up and get warm but she said it was better in the ferret bag!

Go On, Pick Me Up!
Back home it has been 'House Keeping Day' for Snowy Heights, a change of bedding and a vacuum up of all the nibbles the ferrets stash under the bed! Then, out comes the bucket of warm water for a wash down, just to get rid of the bits that had got wet and stuck to the floor!

On the bottom level is was the same except that it is Cat Litter that had been thrown out of the Poo Pot! OTL has noticed that Miss Twinkle is using the same Poo Pot as Miss Snowflake, leaving Mr Brambles his own Poo Pot to be messy in!

Lunch time we were down the Sea Wall again and although the tide was in, it wasn't very big waves at all!

That was a Splash?
When we got back we all had a look at the ferrets and, yes, they were all sleeping, getting closer but still not in a Ferret Ball!

Spot Miss Twinkle!
Now, sorry the blog is late but we can all blame OTL for messing up the video and also we can blame the terrible Broadband link we have down here in the Wilds of Kent!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles.

More Developments from Snowy Heights!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake, Twinkle and Mr Brambles here again!

First of all, I think it was a bit much that the vet made Old Two Legs cry but as OTL says, 'They're in the game to make money' and OTL was thinking of the ferrets well being first. Mind you, OTL has a long memory and if the vet ever wanted to by some radio communication equipment.................?

Enough of controversy, there is more exciting things to tell you!

OTL rolled out of bed a bit late this morning and staggered into the office for him morning paddle, sat down on the rowing machine and started to paddle. Three and a quarter minutes later he had to give it up 'cos both Holly and I ran in and gave him our 'Good Morning Lick' on his nose. Then Both Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake started to rattle on the cage door, and, on top of that, Miss Twinkle was up and rattling her cage door as well!

Holly and I dived off down stairs to see what The Missus was doing while OTL decided what to do.

What he did was, firstly, he let Mr Brambles and Miss Snowflake out onto the floor. Then he got the 'Adventure playground out and spread it over the floor.

Then he got Miss Twinkle out of her cage and put her on the floor!

Well, it was some fast moving ferrets ducking and diving in and out of the boxes and loads of sniffing going on. Miss Twinkle snapped at Miss Snowflake, no harm done, Mr Brambles climbed onto Miss Twinkles back in a show of pseudo sexual dominance! I say pseudo 'cos his nick name is Mr No Nuts!

Miss Twinkle got the message 'cos she let go with a very strong sniff that OTL said sniffed something like a strong urine. There was no poo on the floor and the boxes had a very small puddle of wee on them. OTL wasn't too sure about that but thinks it could have been a ferret signal that said 'I'm not in season, I'm a bit scared and Keep yer Nose Away!'

After that, there was loads of running, hiding, sniffing, licking Ferretone bottle cap and running to OTL for a cuddle. (Miss Snowflake mainly!)

OTL got most of this on video and if he can get it edited today we will attach it to the blog about now!





Miss Twinkle was put back in her cage while us and the ferrets went out for our morning walk. The ferrets were tickled to be out again and Miss Snowflake even fell into a puddle that was deeper than she thought it was!

Back home and OTL put them all together again and things settled down for 'Morning Snooze' until we went out again for our lunch time stroll.

OTL took a picture of them snoozing but we did notice that they don't cuddle up yet. Miss Snowflake has decided to sleep on the hammock, Mr B is in his place on the cushion and Twinkle is underneath the cushion!

In time they will sort it all out!

Now, OTL is trying to load up a video, so, while you are waiting, here is a photo we took earlier!

In Time, Maybe!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake, Twinkle and Mr Brambles

OLT's in tears again!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles here!

Well, another day of fun and excitement!

Yesterday evening, Old Two Legs was clearing out the cages and ended up with Snowflake and Mr Brambles running around the office floor creating mayhem, as usual! Miss Twinkle was put into Snowy Heights so she could have a 'Sniff' of her future living quarters, if all goes well!

Now, Snowy Heights has two floor levels and a door in both levels, the top door was locked after Miss Twinkle was placed in there but OTL forgot to shut the bottom door.

Miss Snowflake spotted this mistake and as Miss Twinkle descended from the upper floor, she was met by Miss Snowflake who had come back in for a wee.

Well, first there was 'Sniffing', then Miss Twinkle did a quick snap at Miss Snowflake and Miss Snowflake took exception and the pair ended up in a 'Ferret Ball' on the floor with a couple of bits of fur flying in the air before OTL managed to separate them!

So much for the 'First Encounter' but as OTL says, as long as there is no blood, or fear pooing then they will have to sort out the hierarchy themselves!

Next time I think the office floor may be the best 'Sparring Ground', at least OTL will be able to get to them if there is any squealing!

Wake me when it's 'Round Two'!
This morning it was raining again and down on the Sea Wall we reckon there is just as much water on the paths as there is in the sea!

The ferrets stayed at home, we got wet, OTL got wet and we left the camera at home!

Miss Twinkle and OTL headed off to the vets where he stabbed Miss Twinkle with the needle. You know what? She didn't even flinch when he did that! Maybe it was the Ferretone that OTL was feeding Miss Twinkle that did the trick!

The vet agreed with OTL that Miss Twinkle was six months to a year old 'cos it is difficult to tell the age of a ferret, all you have to go on is the condition of their teeth and their general appearance.

So, January 27th is Miss Twinkles birthday and next year she will be two years old!

When OTL got back home, he was sniffing and sobbing, poor lad had just opened his wallet again at the vets and they have taken all his money, again!

Lunch time we were out down the beach and it was still raining, but not very much! I thought that it may be a good idea if I went for a swim, well, let's face it, I could be wet in or out of the water!

OTL, Can I go for a swim?
OTL didn't agree with me and said it would be too cold and he didn't fancy a wet dog sitting in his car on the way home!

I must admit, I stamped my paws a showed off a bit!

I Wanna Go Swimin!
 Still didn't do me any good though! To make up for it, Holly and I had a race along the beach and up the stairs, you know what?

She beat me. Just?

Holly wins by a paw!
We met up with William and Bentley and as normal, William was all over OTL. He said that he was going to change his name to something really cool.

Instead of William he was going to be called 'Will-I-Woz'!

You can imagine, Holly and I almost fell on our tails from laughing and  William had a mischievous grin on his face as well!
Will-I-Woz, the Cool Dude!
Back home Miss Twinkle was getting to grips with the SAS Sleeping Bag (Steal And Stash!). It was funny watching her 'cos she started off curled up in a ball when OTL put her in the bag, then she would give a little wriggle and her head would fall out, then a bit later her shoulders were falling out and then after that, the rest of her fell out in a big heap on the cage floor!

Falling out of bed, slowly!
 She said that the Distemper Injection made her sleepy but as Holly said, 'Everything makes a Ferret Sleepy!'

I'll just have another five minutes!
OTL is busy doing some engineering in the bath room 'cos the shower needs some attention, we all reckon it's because he uses it too much, I mean, Every Morning is a bit much, us dogs can go for three months between our appointment with the Poodle Parlour!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles.

Miss Twinkle Arrives!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles here!

Yes, you are correct, there is a new name in the list!

Well, let's tell you what happened today.

We got up as normal and looked out of the window, it was raining, in fact pouring down, so both ferrets went back to bed saying that we are 'On Our Own!' Once we got down there it wasn't too bad and we completed our business and headed back to home and 'Doggy Scoff'!

That was it, we showed off and retired to our beds in Old Two Legs office for a snooze and to get the damp out of our hair.

About half way through the morning OTL got a telephone call from The Vet, which normally means they are reminding him our injections, worming tablets or something else is due!

This time it was different. The vets said that they had a young ferret handed in to them yesterday and it had been found hiding under some dog kennels. Not a safe place for a ferret!

It was described as being 'Young' and 'Hadn't Nipped Anyone', yet! Could OTL look after it and try to find the owner?

Well, you know what OTL's like, a big softy where animals are concerned and off he went carrying the 'Traveling Cage' down to the vets.

A little later he was back and we all went up to the office to have a look at our new 'Four Legs'.

Mr Brambles was fast asleep and wasn't waking up for anyone!

Miss Snowflake was very interested in the 'New Girl' and had a good sniff and even got to 'Touch Noses'!

Come on, Let's see your Tail!
The new ferret couldn't remember her name and was obviously a bit scared, all this new sniffs and strange noises and other ferrets and Woofers!

Sorry, I can't remember my name!
We decided that she must have a name, so we all had a go at suggestions. OTL wanted a name that reflected her character, Snowflake suggested 'Number Three' but we all thought didn't fit her at all. Holly wanted to call her 'Edible' but then again Holly is always guided by her tummy and that suggestion was dismissed!

Then The Missus suggested Twinkle 'cos she looked like a 'Little Star'.

That was it, we all decided that was a good name, so, allow me to introduce .........

Miss Twinkle!
Now we have looked through the books and have decided that she is a 'Black Sable' which means that she has a mask across her eyes and although she is very dark brown, her hair turns black at the end. Unlike Mr Brambles, (who is still asleep), his mask is very faint and he is a sandy brown, which I suppose could be classed as a Brown Sable but we have always called him a Sandy colour!

So, at the moment, OTL has reported her to the 'Lost Property' section of the local police station, just in case she is reported as 'missing' and of course, the vet has her on their books as staying with OTL, so if the owner makes enquiries, they will be pointed to OTL.

Tomorrow, OTL is taking her back to the vet's for an injection against Canine Distemper which is a killer and especially as Holly and I are Woofers! We don't want her to give it to us and we wouldn't want to give it to her!

Now, the best part of today, so far, has been silly OTL. You see, we are all going coo, coo over Miss Twinkle and she is looking out the side of the cage at everything that was going on.

OTL, reaches down to pick something up off the floor and just manages to rest his nose against the bars of the cage, Miss Twinkle, being a young and fast ferret, thinks, 'This is Fun Time' and gives OTL a nip on the end of his nose!

Well, OTL's skin is not as tough as a ferrets and of course before he could do anything else, Miss Twinkle had drawn blood!

You know, we haven't had the sniff of TCP for ages, it reminds us of the time when Snowflake first turned up here and took a liking to OTL!

I think we have all now taken a liking to Miss Twinkle, even OTL!


See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Miss Twinkle and Mr Brambles

Snowflake gets a Present!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles here again!

This morning was still as cold but the sun was out and that always makes us feel better. Old Two Legs had brought the Ferret Bag and Miss Snowflake & Mr Brambles were playing games inside the bag!

First they did the 'Are We There Yet?' Then there was the 'High Speed Eye Spy' game.

Then we heard a lot of giggling and it seems that after OTL had cut their claws yesterday, every time they stand on each other, it tickles, hence the giggling!

No, Don't, It Tickles!
As we were walking down the path to the beach young Arthur came tearing up to us looking for a game. He was so excited to see us that we sometimes wonder if he is allowed to mix with other dogs!

Of course, he loves OTL and is always running up for and ear tickle before chasing us again!

Don't mind if I 'Mark' this spot?
Down on the beach, Miss Snowflake headed down to the water and stopped, the waves were a lot bigger than yesterday and the water looked a bit colder!

She stood there for a moment or two then turned around and headed back to OTL!

Maybe not today!
 She ran up to his leg and in a flash was sitting on his lap! She is a ferret who knows where the warm places are and OTL's jacket pocket is one of them!

Here I come for a cuddle!
OTL told her she needs to take some exercise and put her back on the ground again, she wasn't too happy about that!

Mr Brambles was playing a game with Holly, what he'd do is to run from one patch of sea weed to another trying to hide from Holly. Every time he got behind a new lump he'd ask, 'Can You See Me?'

Holly looking a bit bored would answer 'Yes, I can still see you!' It didn't stop him from running to the next lump and asking 'Can You See Me?'

How about now, 'Can You See Me?'
Holly reckons there is an ulterior motive behind all the Hiding stuff. She reckons he is looking for a way to creep up on us and bite our tails without being seen!

That is one Potty Ferret!
When Holly got fed up with that game and wandered off looking for sniffs, Mr B came up to me and said he could sniff something on the wind and it was in the rocks somewhere.

Now, you know me, anything for a sniff!

The pair of us were up and down the rocks sniffing and looking but couldn't find the sniff at all, but I will admit, there was something in the air but we just couldn't pin it down!

It's got to be here somewhere!
Mind you, it's good to see that Mr B has stopped chasing us and started chasing sniffs instead, well, most of the time anyway!

Back home to a chicken breakfast and an 'After Meal Chew' that OTL says cleans out teeth, The Missus calls it our 'Pudding'!

Back up to OTL's office and we discover that there are two new balls in the ferrets toy box and they both squeak. Now one of the balls not only squeaks when you smack it with your paw but it squeaks as it is 'Breathing In' after being smacked!

Now this is great, especially as they are different sounding squeaks, the first is high and the second is lower. This drives Snowflake potty and she chases this around all over the office!

Every time she jumps on it there comes the 'Double Squeak' which drives her even more potty!

Of course, when they are back in their cage for feeding and snoozing, we have great fun smacking the ball and that has Snowflake rattling the cage door to join in the fun!

I think she is tickled pink with this new toy!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles

More Bouncing in The Bag!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

It was a bit windy this morning plus the temperature has dropped a bit, I think we have some cold weather coming!

We got down to the car park and us woofers went for our 'Mooch Around' until Old Two Legs had got the ferrets organised!

Then it was off to the beach with them. Once again they thought it was great fun ride in their new bag and to poke their heads out of the bag and look at the world around them, ask if 'We're There Yet?' then dive back inside!

Are We ................................?
Now, have those ferrets got it sorted or wot?

Down on the beach we saw that the tide was right in and Mr Brambles got all brave and said he was going to have a swim!

Now, I know he likes kicking his water bowl about and splashing the water all over the place but, in the sea?

He started off with a paddle, then he went in a bit deeper and then a wave crept up behind him.

It's Behind You!
 Holly and I had a bit of a chuckle and Mr B said he knew the wave was coming and it was a good job OTL had a hang of the lead!

Miss Snowflake said he was very brave and then she went for a paddle. The next wave wasn't as big as the one that hit Mr Brambles but it did make her backside all wet!

Ooooooh! It makes you want to Wee!
 On the way back to the car, Mr Brambles said he could sniff a sniff on the air and offered to show me where it was. It turned out to be one of his wees he did yesterday and it got mixed up with a Stoats wee!

Come On, It's This Way!
 Lunchtime we went out but as it was raining it was another of those, 'Quick Wee and Back to The Car'

OTL dropped us off and headed off to town to do something or other but when he got back Holly and I could sniff something in the bag he was carrying.

Chicken Fillets!

Oh Wow! Yippee! and WOOF, WOOF, WOOF!

We haven't had them for ages 'cos the doggy shop keeps running out. I suppose it's people like OTL buying up the whole shelf full when he see's them in stock!

Well, we didn't mind him leaving us at home if he comes back with that stuff!

He also got the ferrets a couple of squeaky rubber balls, I pinched one and was 'Splatting' it on the ground with my paw and making it squeak and of course, that woke up Snowflake who then started to rattle the cage door so she could get to the balls!

Poor OTL, it took him ages to get back to installing his new keyboard on the computer. Dead smart it is, even the keys are lit up with blue LED lights!

Holly says it looks just like a Fairground at night!

Claws crossed that Archie has got a new boiler and things are nice and warm for him.

Now, last night, OTL got back and no, he didn't have a big Doggy Bag full of meat and stuff, it seems like the Haggis was so tasty that it was finished off!

But, we had a sniff of OTL and we could sniff another doggy on his clothes, in fact, we had a good sniff and we could sniff one boy doggy and THREE lady dogs!

Well, we just had to know what this was all about and it seems that they are all Poodles and Mable, the eldest is getting on for fifteen years old and has known OTL all her life!

Then there was Betty and Bertie who, OTL said, were woofing at him just for fun!

Finally, there was Tilly, and she is about seven years old and has not had a very good life up to now. She was kept in a cage all the time and was finally 'Rescued' and that's when she 'Fell on her Paws' 'cos although she is blind and hasn't got a tooth in her mouth, she is so well looked after now and has the other three dogs to look after her.

She was sitting on OTL's lap having a cuddle after dinner and that's where he got the sniff on his trousers!

We will be checking up, but knowing OTL, anything to do with us four legs and he's a big softy!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles
