TM's got a New Pinny!

Hi Woofers!

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

Not so hot today, that means we can have a good run and chase on the beach. Holly and I were running up and down the beach, digging holes and winding Mr Brambles up!

It starts off with Brambles coming over to see the hole Holly was digging!

This is My 'ole, so Ferret Off!

 I dug a deep hole and called out that there was something big and smelly down here!

Ear! There's Summat Smelly Here!

Of course, that means Mr Brambles must have a look and investigate the source of the sniff!

I moved off to the side and he was in there as quick as a flash!

Well I can't sniff it!

That caught him out! Holly and I were rolling on the beach laughing our tails off!

We had a visit from Auntie Chris and husband Pete and Chris brought The Missus a new pinny!

Dead smart it is as well, and it started off with a bit of advertising!

Book Early to avoid disappointment!

Then there was the 'Warning', not that we paid it any attention!

Oh Yeah! In Yer Dreams Missus!

 When we turned it over there was more embroidery!

This is Super Special!

This is it in close up!

Good Luck Words!

 Even Snowflake and Brambles got a mention!
 

It's A Ferret Thing!

Of course, the best bit was the Daisy & Holly tracks!

It don't get much better than this!

OTL said that the way TM was dancing around in it, he reckons she will even be wearing it in bed tonight!

It was still cool when we went for the lunchtime stroll on the beach and half way around it started to rain!

It was a 'Quick Trot' back to the car and by the time we got home the Thunder & Lightening' had started! Boom, Crash!

Holly and I had a woof at the thunder but OTL said it was a waste of time woofing 'cos the thunder can't talk Doggy!

Silly Thunder!

We finished off the Lambs Heart that TM found in the bottom of the freezer, so, not such a bad finish to the day, well, anything is better than Doggy Scoff!

OTL has promised us a 'Good Brushing' so we look our best when Archie Babe comes visiting on Sunday. OTL says that Archie Babe has not only had a bath, but he has had a hair cut as well!

Holly asked if he sniffed like a Tarts Handbag, like wot we do when we come out from the Parlour?

OTL said he would sniff but sort of 'Manly Sniffs'!

Holly said we will have to show him where all the good sniffs are so he can have a roll in them before he goes home!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

A Sea Weed Wrap for a Pair of Smelly Nelly's!

Hello Woofers!

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

Just for a change, when we got down to the Sea Wall this morning, Holly was hanging behind so I had the 'Pole Position' to get after the rabbits, I did my 'Slowly Slowly Creepy Up Stalk'

I See Rabbits!

At the last moment Holly came crashing around the corner and scared them all off!

It was a sunny start to the day, the tide was in, so I took a dip but we couldn't find any sticks for Old Two Legs to throw!

I was right disappointed and had a little sulk!

Mind you, Mr Brambles nearly got caught by a wave as he strayed too close to the waters edge!

It's Behind You!

Out to sea there was an Escort Tug type looking for a big ship to guide in but as far as we could see, there was nothing at all!

Maybe they got the wrong day!

I See No Ships!

We had a good run around and both ferrets found loads of sniffs, Mr Brambles reckons they were mostly Weasels but Miss Snowflake says that some of them were Stoats!

Back home the pair of them went on their 'Morning Rampage' and chased each other all over the place.

Mr Brambles got all exhausted and fell asleep behind the bottom draw in OTL's office but OTL knows that is his favourite place, so he was lifted out and put to bed while Miss Snowflake carried on 'Rampaging'!

One of their fun places to explore is The Missus's card store room 'cos there are loads of boxes and shelves and little places to explore. Miss Snowflake has found that she can climb up and through the shelves and into places you wouldn't think was big enough for a mouse!

There is just one small problem, she has a bad memory for re tracing her route through the shelves, so that means she must call OTL when she gets stuck!

I really need a Wee, can you get me down please?

It's a good job that OTL keeps an eye on the pair of them!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again but all the water had dissapeared into the distance, so I still didn't get my swim, although, Holly and I had a rest on top of some really smelly sea weed!

OTL called us 'Smelly Nelly's!' Like, I mean, do we care?

Yes, I fancy a cool Sea Weed Wrap!

 OTL gave up shouting at us and went back to chasing a Four Spot Chaser!

A Four Spot having a breather!

Almost next to it was a Buff Tailed Bumblebee, having a buzz around the flowers!

Yet another 'Buzzy Bee!'

Holly and I were really looking forward to a good feed tonight but what did we see on the kitchen work surface?

DOGGY SCOFF!!!!!!   YUK, YUK, YUK, YUK!

No more cuddles for her, we're going to stick close to OTL, who knows, he may get some meat tonight!

See you tomorrow, if we don't just fade away with hunger!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

High Speed Snail and Other Stuff!

Hello Woofers!

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

Guess wot?

It was raining this morning!

After such a long time with loads of sun it almost makes a change to get wet while out walking, excluding going for a swim!

In fact, it was so wet the Old Two Legs left the camera in the car, so no pictures of us lot getting wet!

However, when we got back to the car there was a snail starting to crawl up the windscreen, on the outside!

Speedy Snail the Fastest Snail in The World!

OTL left the snail on the screen and headed back home. It stayed there, on the screen for a mile or so and we got up to a frightening speed of thirty eight miles an hour!

Holly said that must be a record, a snail doing thirty eight miles an hour, without a seat belt on!

It soon crawled under the windscreen wiper blade where it stayed all the way home!

The Missus was getting all excited 'cos she has some cards due to be shown on TV, so, we have all got to sit in front of the TV and go Oooooh! and Aaaaah! and Fantabulossa! and Wunderfool! When the presenter picks them up to show the audience!

I must admit, I fell asleep half way through!

Lunchtime it was back down the beach again and this time it was sort of sunny with a bit of cloud.

Holly tried to mug a couple of Two Legs who were having lunch on the Sea Wall but they told her to 'Go Away!'

So Holly did, but not until she had done a wee in front of them!

Didn't want a Sarnie anyway!

OTL spotted a bright yellow, black ringed caterpillar. He said it was a Cinnabar Moth Caterpillar.

The Cinnabar Moth looks a bit like a Spotted Burnett moth but instead of red spots it has red streaks down the wing.

The Cinnabar Moth Caterpillar

OTL spent the afternoon putting a couple of new Roof Vents in the caravan, one over the bed and the other in the bathroom, so now it's all bright and ready for the holiday!

Not sure what is for dinner tonight but Holly and I pigged out on Ox Heart today, so we won't be so demanding when they sit down to eat, well, not much!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We Meet Another Maisey!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles back with you again!

Another warm and muggy sort of day. The ferrets were up and ready for a walk at six this morning, all scrabbling about in their cage, that was until Old Two Legs went in with their breakfast.

When OTL went in they were both asleep again!

Mind you, they soon woke up when they heard the rattle of their drinking bowl 'cos that means Milk!

Ferrets are lactose intolerant so that means they get a 'Special' milk, Lactose Free! OTL pours them a drop in their bowls and then puts a large desert spoon full of hot water in with the milk. This dilutes it down and also warms up the milk!

Both ferrets just love the milk and as soon as it is down on the floor they are scrabbling at the cage door to get out and into the milk.

Even with ferrets it is 'Nose Down and Tail Up'!

Down on the beach, the tide had turned and was on it's way out. Mr Brambles found some wet sea weed and tried a Sea Weed Wrap!

Enjoying a Sea Weed Wrap!

I went splashing into the water and was soon paddling about enjoying my 'Early Morning Dip'. Holly said I looked like a Chanel Swimmer and that I should do some training!

Next it's a Cross Chanel Swim!

I'm not too sure if she really means what she says 'cos she managed to get her paws wet by pinching my stick!

She has Pinched Me Stick!

Late morning OTL had to go out to get some stuff, so, Holly and I crept into the car when he wasn't looking!

After all his jobs, we went for a walk in the forest looking for squirrels and rabbits!

Holly Creeping Through the Undergrowth!

We didn't see any rabbits but we think we saw a squirrel but it was too far away to be sure!

OTL was too busy looking at the woodland flowers and buzzy things to notice the squirrel!

Up ahead we heard a woofing going on, so we waited for OTL to arrive, then we walked behind him, and made sure it was far enough behind him to do a 'Quick Escape' if needed!

Come on OTL, there's a Big Woofer Ahead!

Off went OTL and when he stopped to talk to the owner of the woofer, we caught up to see him stroking a Schnauzer!

Would you believe it, this Schnauzer was all of one year old and of course, thought OTL was wonderful!

I'm Maisey and I'm a Schnauzer!

Holly said 'Hello' but I hung back, not too sure and even had a little grumble when Maisey tried to sniff my tail, uninvited!

I jumped onto OTL's lap and did my 'KeepAwayFromOTLYouNoisySchnauzerTypeWoofer!' Grumble and that sorted her out, she ran behind her owners legs!

You don't mess with Daisy Dog, especially when she's on OTL's lap!

Back home to a plate of chicken and a chew followed by a snooze until dinner time.

It's a hard life being OTL's Woofer!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Monday Again!

Hi Woofers!

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

Now, just before we start, Old Two Legs has found out what that flower is in our garden, by the pond. It's called Purple Loosestrife, which is a strange name to give a plant. Since when has Strife been Loose?


We have decided we like Mondays, you see, all over the weekend there are Two Legs rushing around trying to have fun relaxing on the beach and fishing and riding around on cycles looking like they are left over from the Tour de France!

Monday, well that's different. The roads are clear, the car park is empty, cycles are parked up in cycle racks or in the shed and we have the beach all to ourselves!

Even Old Two Legs is a little less hurried!

You know what? Even the Sea looked less busy!

Calm Sea but OTL has been at the Photo shop Again!

 Mr Brambles was digging holes in the sea shells again while Snowflake snoozed in the bag!

A Hole Lotta Fun!

We met up with the old Labrador and OTL had a stroke and a chat with his owner.

The woofer was worn out from his walk but as he says, I'll bet you would be as well when you get to fifteen years old!

Another hot one today girls!

We got some Ox Heart this morning and of course, it was gone in no time at all! Holly and I retired to our snoozing spots with a Teeth Cleaning Chew each and spent the morning doing what we do best!


Lunchtime we were out again and as it wasn't so hot, we decided to try some 'Rabbit Hunting' up on top of the hill.

Not for us the wild chasing around, especially as it was rather warm, instead, we did the old 'Sit and Wait'!

This is fun, Maisey doesn't know what she is missing!

 While we were 'Rabbit Hunting' OTL was down on his knees trying some 'Soft Focus' 'Wide Open Aperture' shots of a Thistle.

Thistle, very narrow Depth of Field!

Now, The Missus could be called a 'Silver Surfer' and a bit of a 'Gizmo Girl'. All the latest electronic thingy whatsits.

The ferret bedding needs washing every week and it gets put in the washing machine but it tends to leave loads of ferret hair in the filter and TM is always complaining.

So, to get over this problem, she has purchased a 'Manual' washing machine that is sold as an accessory for the 'Ultimate Caravaner'

It doesn't use electricity but instead you wind a big handle thingy and slosh the clothes or ferret bedding about until it is beaten to a pulp!

I really thought that with a bit of forethought, she could have got the same effect with a couple of rocks by the side of the pond, I mean, loads of two legs do it all over the world!

See you tomorrow!

Don't forget, lights out at ten tonight for an hour.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

A Gentle Sunday Rampaging About!

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

After yesterdays fun and games it was good to have a 'Relaxing' day today. Old Two Legs was late in getting up. Maybe it had something to do with Holly demanding a 'Late Night Wee' at about Twenty to Two this morning!

She managed to wake OTL and The Missus and me and The Ferrets!

So, we were a bit late going out for our morning stroll along the sea Wall.

On the beach, Holly and I decided that what we really needed was a Big Hole!

Holly and I took turns in digging while the other was watching out for Mr Brambles!

You dig, I'll watch!

 Lucky for us, Mr Brambles had decided on digging his own hole and was watching out for us in case we tried to pinch the hole!

A Hole of My Own!

 Miss Snowflake was still in the ferret bag and refused to come out until OTL had got to the Rock Wall!

This beats Hole Digging any day!

Back home OTL had the job of cleaning out the ferret cage and changing all the bedding and wash out the trays.

Mr Brambles went off to have a snooze while Snowflake had a game with OTL. What she does is to chase the cloth OTL is using to wash out the cage bottom, while he is washing the tray!

She thinks it is a wonderful game and when OTL put her outside the cage, she just climbed up the outside, went through the roof door and down into the cage to chase OTL again!

Finally it was all done and that means it's 'Snoozy Time'!

Lunch time we were down the Sea Wall again but it was just too hot to get too excited about running around!

I started off with a gentle jog but it soon went into a stroll and a sniff!

A Small Jog but that's your lot!

 Holly pretended to be all full of life and energy but like me, decided it was just too hot.

I'm a Super Fast Jogging Woofer!

We were pleased that there was a breeze but the sun was still very hot, in fact too hot!

Back home the ferrets were still fast asleep in their beds, you know, those ferrets must sleep about twenty hours a day!

Amazing!

We're off now to see what we can mug, Doggy Scoff is what TM has put out for us, YUK!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

And Who's Been Eating My Dinner?

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here on a Sunny Saturday!

We were up good and early 'cos The Missus is out at her 'Master Class' today. So we have to take all her stuff up to the village hall.

We met that Doodle Dog again and this time we found out his name is Buddy. He is still fascinated by the ferrets and wanted to get up good and close for a sniff and a lick!

Holly said he was brave to do that, I said he was stupid 'cos I've seen what Brambles has done to Two Legs who have stuck their fingers in his face!

Buddy was lucky and they both had a sniff of each others nose!

Sniffs, but no Teeth!

Back home we had our visitor turn up, Maisey, the West Highland Terrier! She had come to stay with us for today while her owner was playing 'Glue & Glitter' at TM's Master Class!

We started off with her inspecting our garden and we had to point out that the pond was wet and deep! She said she wasn't one for swimming anyway but thanks for the tip!

We all went out for a walk along the Sea Wall and the beach. We showed her where all the best sniffs were and a few of our 'Secret Sniffs'!

Hey, this is a seriously good sniff!

 Then we introduced her to some of the lads.

Nice to meet you Maisey!

Down on the beach Maisey was let off the lead for a run 'cos she couldn't get into too much trouble there, except when she wanted to have a paddle in the mud!

Just a little paddle in the mud?

 I didn't ask, I just went straight in and flopped onto the wet mud, that got me a hose down when we got home!

Daisy's in the mud, Pleeese let me have a go?

Maisey should have kept quiet about the mud 'cos OTL scolded me and then clipped Maisey back on the lead, she'll learn in time!

Holly introduced her to a new sniff and didn't tell her is was Ferret Poo!

Now this is a strange sniff, what is it?

Holly and I were both having a laugh behind her tail and when we told her she joined in the joke as well!

We came off the beach and played 'Puppy Patrol' up the hill to the Rabbit Ground.

Left, Right, Left, Right, Puppy Patrol!

Maisey says that she hadn't done much rabbit chasing and how do we do it? When we told her how we sit and wait. Then we showed her how and she stood there looking but didn't see any rabbits at all!

Pretty Boring Game this Rabbit Chasing!

She did find a feather on the path and after discussions with OTL, we decided it was from a Sparrowhawk!

Sparrowhawk breast feather.

Back home, I got washed with the hose and Maisey got her nose into Holly's chicken dinner. Holly didn't mind 'cos when she finally got to eat what was left, she also had a go at what I had left, so every one was happy in the end!

We had to say Bye, Bye, to Maisey but it has been fun having her over.

OTL says that we may get Archie Babe next, if we are good girls!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We meet a New Doodle Dog!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles back with you again!

It's 'Official', Old Two Legs is in his twenty first year of trading, he is having a celebration treat today, he will finish work early today, five thirty, instead of six thirty!

He does live in the 'Fast Lane' sometimes!

We met up with a new doggy today, he is only twelve weeks old and already he is bigger than Holly or me!

We forgot to ask his name but he is a 'Doodle Dog', half Poodle and half Labrador! Holly asked if that made him a BozoDoodle?

That Holly can be such a Wag at times!

I'm a Labradoodle!

 He was jumping about in a playful way 'cos Mr Brambles was scurrying about at the bottom of the Sea Wall, Miss Snowflake had done a 'Sneaky' and got back into the ferret bag without OTL seeing!

Can't See Me!

When she stuck her nose out the Doodle Dog asked if she tasted like Chicken! So, he can't be so much of a Bozo!

Mind you, being so young he was trying to impress us with some tricks, 'Hey' he said 'Look, I can Lick My Nose'!

I've been practising this trick!

 Finally, off he went and we got down to some serious fun! The ferrets went off in search of 'Something Wet and Slimy' in the sea weed. Holly and I got into digging holes in the sand and were woofing so much that it got the attention of Miss Snowflake!

OK, What Are They Up To?

 It didn't take long before they left the sea weed and arrived at our hole. Mr Brambles dived straight in and had a quick dig while Snowflake stood guard to keep us away!

Go on then, dig some more, I've got them Woofers under control!

Back home, we got a big bowl of Ox Heart for breakfast and both Holly and I were 'Tails Up and Nose Down' until it had all gone!

Super!

Then it was off to bed for a snooze to let it all 'Go Down'!

Lunchtime we were off again but this time there were some deliveries to do and afterwards we found ourselves at the Riverside Park!

Pity the tide wasn't in, I could have had a swim, instead there was only mud and OTL kept me out of that!

Mind you, there were some dogs that managed a paddle!

This little six month old woofer was all full of it and was dashing about all over the place. She ran up to OTL and planted her muddy paws on his leg and said........

Guess Where I've Been!

Then she ran over to me to say hello but the only thing I could think of was ........We've got two ferrets who are bigger than you!

Wot are Ferrets?

It was all rather hot and Holly was plodding along the path and every so often we all had to stop for a rest on the seats and as Holly said.......'It's just Too Hot to Chase Rabbits!'

Too Hot!

We were glad to be back home again and soon had found a cool spot to snooze the rest of the afternoon away!

Now, OTL put the 'Garden Cam' out yesterday and hasn't taken it in yet. The Missus spotted it and came stomping up to his office.

'Is that Camera Thing switched on?'

'Yes'

'Well I don't want any video of me on Daisy's blog'!

'Why?'

'Cos this morning it was too hot and I went for a walk around the garden, before I got dressed!'

'Well, that will scare the cats away!'

And that's why he has the black eye!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
