I Love Sundays!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

We were up good and early this morning, you see we had to take The Missus down to The Cat Woman's place so they could go off to a class on making some crafty things.

So, Old Two Legs had to go in and wake the ferrets up to get them out early!

Mr Brambles took some time getting out of the hammock, where he loves to sleep, and Miss Snowflake was in a small carry bag that OTL had hung up in their cage. Now, ferrets need their front claws kept short by clipping them every few weeks and although they were done before our holiday, they were really due for another clipping. Miss Snowflake likes to scratch at the bars on the cage and sometimes 'Splits' the nail and gets some of her bedding caught up in it. This morning she had got a bit of the thread caught in it from the carry bag and was getting in a panic. OTL had to grab her, and then the bag to get them untangled!

A quick slurp of Ferretone and some work with the nail clippers soon sorted her out and we were then off to the beach!

OTL told Snowflake to 'Stamp her paws' on the sea shells to smooth her claws after having them trimmed!

I feel stupid running on the spot!

We had some fun chasing up and down the beach and Snowflake got fed up with 'Running on the Spot' and instead decided to show us some of her 'Camouflage Techniques'!

Bet you can't see me now!

Holly said that we couldn't hang about 'cos TM would be waiting for us, so it was a case of Best Paw Forward and head back home!

Come on! Best Paw Forward!

OTL was still messing about in the loft so we had a 'Snoozy Morning'.

Lunchtime we met up with a couple of woofers, one we knew called 'Princess' and her new mate called Bailey. Now Bailey is just eight months old and is a bit of a 'yapper', even worse than Holly!

His excuse is that he is a bit scared of new woofers and the fact that he is a Pomeranian Chihuahua Cross!

Yeah! Yappy or Wot!

You sniff nice!

He was OK really and I suppose it will just take time before he settles down!

We said 'Hello' to Princess who was more interested in having a swim but she did say hello to OTL, by rubbing her wet head against his leg!

We thought it was funny but as OTL said, he is used to 'Wet Doggy'!

I don't do 'Wet Doggy'!

Late afternoon TM was back and she had another sample from the Master Class!

Tomorrow OTL will be taking more stuff down the dump and if we are in luck, it could be the New Park for us!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Spiders the Size of Dinner Plates!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a day it has been today! First off we went for our morning walk but had to drop The Missus off at the Village Hall for her 'Master Class'. When we got to the beach the clouds looked very full of rain and even Old Two Legs told us to 'Get a Move On' before we all got wet!

It's Going To Rain!

Mr Brambles went behind some sea weed for a wee but then complained that we were all watching him!

I can't go if you're watching me!

We were on our way back when it started, but not too heavy just rather large drops of rain, the ferrets were getting a lick on running down the hill, so Holly and I did the same!

 Back in the car we headed for home and about half way the rain really started, it just bucketed down!

It was a good job we had got back to the car in time or we may have been washed away!

After some breakfast we set about helping OTL get all the junk out of the loft. Both Holly and I were having a 'Snuffle' around all his gear and we were amazed at the number of spiders that had set up their 'Winter Quarters' up there.

We had great fun chasing them around until they scuttled away into the very dark bits of the loft!

There was loads of stuff that OTL said could be dumped and he had fun dropping it out of the loft door into a couple of big cardboard boxes!

Pretty soon it was time for our lunchtime walk and the rain clouds had gone and the sun was shining!

We hit the beach again and the first thing I did was to jump in!

I knew OTL wouldn't mind 'cos he had brought our Doggy Towel with him in the car, just in case I got wet!

Look! I'm a Surf Baby!

Holly, of course, stayed well away from the water, as you know, she just 'Don't Do Water'!

That didn't stop me!

I had great fun and I will admit to being a little naughty, you see, every time OTL threw the stick in the water I would go and fetch it and make sure I ran out of the water, just where Holly was sitting, trying to catch a few 'Rays'!

Come on Beach Butt!

 Of course, she wasn't impressed and said that I was disturbing the birds who were flying by!

Keep in formation number five!

As if!

We let OTL carry on up in the loft while we had a snooze on the sofa and watched to pile of stuff get bigger and bigger. If he carries on this way there will be nothing left in the loft, except spiders!

TM came back from her 'Master Class' all full of beans 'cos her 'Girls' had done some stunning work following after TM had demonstrated some 'Background Technique'!

Sounds all technical to me!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly (The Dry One), Miss Snowflake and Mr 'Stop Looking' Brambles!

Getting accustomed to be back

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, last night we all had a good nights sleep, I mean, I didn't wake up at all and Holly was snoring her tail off for most of the night! The Missus was doing the same while Old Two Legs was on another planet, like, away with the Fairies!

We all over slept a bit, and that includes the ferrets as well. When OTL went in to say 'Good Morning' as he does, they were both still snuggled up in their sleeping bag with their eyes shut tight!

It was bright when we went out for our walk and Mr Brambles wanted to get out of the ferret bag as soon as we had got to the grassy path. Miss Snowflake followed him down but then decided that it was warmer in OTL's arms, so up she went again and snuggled down into OTL's arm where she later did a wee! She said that she was so comfortable that the thought of getting down for a wee would have spoilt the cuddle!

OTL was not happy with her doing that but did notice that it was a 'Small Wee!'

OTL got crafty and when we got to the beach, he got her out of the bag and put her near the muddy bit!

She was not happy!

This is YUK!

We spotted that there were two Wormy Men out on the mud digging for worms, it's good to see some things are still the same!

The Wormy Men Commeth!

Mr Brambles was having fun zooming up and down the 'Wall of Death' and calling out Zoom! Zoom! as he went past us!

That ferret really is potty sometimes!

Zoooooooooooooom!

Back home OTL was still working on the pile of paperwork but it looks like he is winning!

Lunchtime we were back down the Sea Wall again but OTL had a load of stuff to put into the car, so, he opens it up, tells us to get in while he puts the camera on the car roof so it is easier to pile the boxes into the back of the car. Having got all that sorted, off we go.

Now, our little village has narrow roads in it, so fast motoring is not the best idea and OTL is very careful as he drives along the roads. The road to the beach has a forty miles an hour limit with speed cameras all the way along it. OTL, not wishing to pay any fines, goes along at forty, spot on. When we get to the beach, us woofers are out the back door and off chasing the rabbits, OTL is in the back looking for his camera.

He can't find it!

He telephones home asking if he left the camera there, 'No' says TM, 'Oh Bother It' says OTL, or something that sounds like it!

Just then, one of the drivers who are sitting in their cars enjoying the sea view, comes over to OTL, 'Ere Mate' he says, 'You've left yer camera on the roof of your car'!

Who said it was better to be born lucky than rich?

OTL is a lucky lad!

Talking of being lucky, the tide was almost all in, so, quick as a flash, before OTL could say anything, I was in for a 'Deep Paddle'!

I haven't had one of these for ages!

 Holly of course stayed perfectly dry 'cos she 'Doesn't do Wet'! To prove it, she stood still long enough for OTL to take her picture!

Looking Good is my Speciality!

After that, we were back home and I am pleased to say that OTL has almost finished with the paperwork, just a couple of bits needs to read, like the Business Banking Terms and Conditions changes that the bank has sent through.

Thick book, small writing!

Tomorrow TM is off to her 'Master Class' so OTL and us are going to clear some space in the loft 'cos next week we have a new central heating system going to be installed and our old system needs to be removed.

We have elected to go up in the loft to help OTL get rid of the rubbish and take it to the dump, all before TM comes home and starts saying things like, 'I wanted that!' even though she hasn't used it in thirty years!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Back Home with a Bump!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, last night I think we all slept very well, we were all so tired that it would have taken six 'Fireworks Nights' to wake us and even then it may be touch and go!

The Missus has been wearing out the washing machine today, it has been going non stop all day and the place looks like a Chinese Laundry with stuff hanging up all over the house!

The rain has been on and off all day and we keep hearing howls of despair every time TM notices the rain drops on the window!

Old Two Legs has been working his way down a big pile of paperwork and has been mumbling to himself all day!

We went out this morning and it was just after sunrise. Not as dramatic as we have seen on t'Moors, but it sort of had a 'Homely' look about it!

Our Home Sunrise

 Mr Brambles said that although the moors were OK, the one thing he had missed was the feel of sand between his paws and the sniff of the sea!

This what I've missed!

 Miss Snowflake on the other paw announced to everyone that she had not missed the sand or the sea in the slightest and in a flash had disappeared back into the ferret bag!

No, I have Not Missed it!

 She refused to come out until OTL was off the beach and into the long grass where she feels most at home!

......are we off the beach yet?

 We met up with some of the lads and told them all about our holiday and the fun on the moors and dales!

........and the Moors were much bigger than all the sea wall put together!

Lunchtime OTL had to go into town to deliver some stuff and afterwards he took us to The Forest, which was great 'cos we hadn't seen it for some time.

We investigated all the new sniffs and Holly said that although the moors were great fun, she had missed the trees.

You just don't get trees on t'Moors!

Trees are better than heather any day!

 Of course, where there are trees, there are bound to be Squirrels!

We hunted High and Low and we saw some but they were high in the trees and wouldn't come down to hear all about our holiday. They said that any holiday without trees is boring!

Silly Squirrels!

Come on, come down for a chat!

Of course, really, the squirrels were too busy collecting nuts to store for the Winter time but I still had fun spotting them in the trees and doing my 'Pointer Stance' that Barney had taught me!

Is that a Squirrel I see before me?

Back home OTL was till working his way through the paperwork and a couple of times Miss Snowflake woke up and demanded to be let out of the cage for a ten minute 'Rampage' around the office!

So, off for some food now, OTL has got curry, so he is on his own as far as I'm concerned, mind you, Holly loves a bit of Nan Bread dipped in the sauce!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Home!!!!!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here in sunny North Kent!

Well, we were up sort of early this morning so we could get our morning walks all done and help Old Two Legs to pack up the last bits in the caravan.

The ferrets went off for a 'Swim' in the wet grass and had a super time snuffling and ferreting about in the fallen leaves!

We went up on t'Moor and was surprised top see Kofte & Shish Kebab waiting for us on to of the hillock!

Kofte & Shish

They said that Donner was away up on the moor but they had waited to say Bye Bye to us in good 'Northern Fashion'!

So it was, as they turned to go we heard one of them call back 'Eee-Up- Chuck!' and that was it, they had gone!

The Last Farewell!

We couldn't see too much 'cos there was still a lot of mist over the moor but with the sun trying to break through, it looked all 'Etherial'!

A touch of the 'Etherials' again!

 As we got near to the end of the walk, the mist cleared a touch and we had a super view of the Dale, a very pleasant reminder of our holiday!

A Last Look at The Dale.

Back at the caravan, The Missus was waiting to 'Hit The Road' and even the ferrets were getting excited!

Off we went and we headed off home.

On the way there was sun shine, rain, Heavy Rain, Very Heavy Rain and Loads of Traffic!

Finally we made it and since five thirty we have been unloading the caravan and getting the ferrets sorted out and all the stuff put back in it's rightful place, well, almost!

Now we are just too tired to do any more, so it's off to bed about nine thirty for an early night and an early morning so that OTL can catch up with all the stuff that has piled up over the time we have been away!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Packing Up!

Eee-Up Woofers!

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

Well, here we are again, the end of another holiday!

This morning we had to ask if we could go out for 'Walkies' first 'cos we missed out on our late night 'Wee' 'cos it was raining so much!

This morning the rain had stopped but it has left puddles the size of swimming pools!

On our walk, Old Two Legs spotted some bright red fungi, so, as normal, he just had to take a picture!

Little Bright Fungi

While he was playing, we were saying Bye Bye to Donna and all her mates.

Bye Bye Donna!

 OTL said that it was bright sunshine, two thousand feet above is! You could just see the blue sky between the 'Low Flying Clouds!

Bye Bye t'Moors

It has been great fun up here and we have seen some things we haven't seen before but it will be good to get back home and see our mates along the Sea Wall and tell them all about our holiday!

Holly said that next time we should try The Dales but I fancy a new place in Scotland, maybe Harris in the Outer Hebrides, or what about Skye?

More decisions for next year!

See you all tomorow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Wet, Wet, Soaking Wet!

Eee-Up Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Wot a day it has been here in 'Sunny'? North Yorkshire!

It has been pouring down with rain today, in fact the site looks like a quagmire!

The ferrets went out for a run this morning and ended up swimming across the site!

Old Two Legs got our new coats out and tried to get us out for a long walk, in the rain, some hope!

He has just got to be joking!

We did go but we had a quick wee and then was dragging OTL back towards the car!

Back at the caravan the ferrets had got dry and were slurping away at their morning milk.

It's alright for them, warm milk and no damp tail!

I was not happy!

OTL did wrap me up in a dry towel and a warm blanket, so it wasn't so bad.

Mind you, I was getting a bit fed up with the slurping sounds those ferrets make!

No table manners, that's their problem!

Slurp, This is Good, Slurp, Innit?

We had some fun last night, OTL didn't fasten the ferrets cage roof door properly, so, in the middle of the night, when everyone was fast asleep, Miss Snowflake got out and went for a wander.

She found herself on The Missus's pillow, so, just to show how much she thinks of TM, Snowflake commenced to licking TM's ear!

Now, how many of you would have ended up on the ceiling?

No TM, she just picked up Snowflake and marched her back to the cage.

I mean, it's a lovely gesture by a ferret to give your ear a lick, it means she thinks you are a friend.

TM said that she wasn't going to lick Snowflakes ear in return, in fact, she has never even licked OTL's ear!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv (and Licks),

from

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Squeeky Caravan

Eee-Up Woofers!

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

After the last two days of getting up early and going to bed late, we were glad of a lay in this morning. Holly and I were cuddled up to Old Two Legs, just to keep warm in the night.

Now, yesterday, after we got back, Holly and I decided we needed a run on t'Moors, so, a quick woof in OTL's ear and we were off in the car up to the Moor. The rain had passed but when we got up on the top, we could see rain happening across the other side of the dale. Of course, OTL was clicking away with his camera and caught these two rain storms passing us by!

Rain Storm No. 1

Then on our way back we spotted this storm on the other side of the dale.

Rainy Storm No. 2

Of course, we managed to stay dry and got back to the van in time for dinner of Chicken & Biscuits!

I had left some chicken in my bowl to have before going to bed but after Holly and I had jumped up on the seats OTL let the ferrets out for a 'Rampage' around the caravan. Of course, it wasn't long before they found my chicken and were having little nibbles as they passed the bowl!

Holly thought it was a real cheek and proceeded to grumble at them for being so rude as to pinch my dinner!

Secretly, I think Holly was afraid that there wouldn't be any left for her to pinch later on!

OTL sorted the dilemma, he picked up the food bowl and the water bowl and put it on the table!

A sort of 'Wisdom of Solomon'?

It took a lot of Wisdom to sort out the next problem. Yesterday The Missus came back with a load of stuff from the workshop she had been to and it was a case of 'The Last Straw' breaking something or other!

She stashed it all away under the bed, as normal, and went off to finish the bottle of bubbly she had been attacking all evening.

During the night, every time anyone in the caravan moved, there was a squeaking sound coming from under the bed! It drove us woofers mad, every time, a movement was followed by a squeak! Even when the ferrets turned over on their bed........squeak.........OTL moved........squeak......TM moved.....squeak........Daisy turned her head......squeak........Holly twitched her tail........SQUEAK!

Today, TM said she would find out what it was, first she blamed OTL and said it had always been there. Next she tried wobbling the bed and said that it was the bed. Then she decided to unload the contents of the space under the bed.

Squeak gone!

Then she started to put everything back and half way through.........SQUEAK!

OTL came over to have a look and decided that there was just too much 'Crafty Stuff' under the bed, in fact, too much for the caravan!

OTL repacked the stuff and got it all away from a join in the caravan flooring that was making the squeaking sound.

Trouble is, what is she going to do with the little bit she has left over?

A Little Bit Here

And

A Little Bit There

And

A Little Bit More Down the End!

Of course, that doesn't include the three and a half ton of stuff she has squirrelled away in the cupboards!

OTL says that one day he expects to see TM digging a hole in the caravan floor, just so she can stash more stuff under the caravan!

We went out a bit later this morning 'cos of the 'Squeak', but that did mean we would be able to watch the F1 racing without disturbing OTL!

It was good on t'Moors, all sunny and full of 'Weekend Bozo's'!

Is that Another bunch of Bozo's?

OTL was more interested in the Fungi to bother with Bozo's.

OK, but what's it called?

As we were getting back towards the car we spotted what we believe to be a 'Why Eye Man'!

It suddenly popped up, shouted Why Eye Man, and then disappeared into the heather!

Is it a 'Why Eye Man'?

Never seeing a Why Eye Man before we are not too sure, so any help you lot can give will be most welcome!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

We film a Eee-Be-Goom!

Eee-Up Woofers!

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

Well, today it has been another terribly early morning appointment for us! The Missus had booked into a course on a Finnabar Workshop run by Anna, who is very famous!

Holly said that she will able to become more famous 'cos she will have met 'The Fabulous Eileen', (Inky to her friends!)

We headed off with Old Two Legs and found a Country Park where  we could have our morning 'Walkies'! and of course, we hadn't brought our rain coats with us and of course, it rained!

The walk was not a long one!

Back in the car we listened to the radio and some CD's and had a drive around to see the sights, trouble was, we had seen most of the sights 'cos we were back in Stockton on Tees again!

Because of the rain we decided that a trip up onto the moors would be a bit 'Damp'!

TM said that her workshop would finish at one, so that  gave us a chance of another run in the Country Park and wot made it better was, the rain had stopped!

Of course, our main topic of discussion was the success OTL had with his 'Secret Camera'!

The other night TM left a bag of rubbish in the awning instead of putting it in the bin. In the morning it had been ripped open and the contents had been scattered all over the place. TM reckoned it was rats but OTL said it could have been a mouse or even a bird.

Holly said that it may be an Eee-Be-Goom that had come down from the moors early to get a good place to hibernate!

You can see that it looked very fierce and Holly said she would not like to meet it on a dark night!

Wot I didn't like was the eyes, scary or wot!

It was TM who said we were all a lot of Bozo's 'cos it was a Hedgehog! Well, it didn't look like a hedgehog to us but TM put out some Doggy Scoff that Holly and I decided was just too much for us!

It came up to our time to go to bed, so we opened the door to find the Eee-Be-Goom stuffing his face with Doggy Scoff, well, as Holly said, 'No wonder he looks fierce, having to eat Scoff'!

At one we were back to pick up TM and she came out from the class with her 'Creation' and Holly said it reminds her of the little Two Legs coming out from school with their 'Art Class' work!

Back at the caravan we decided to have a quick sniff around over by the river, that was until OTL called us to go in, which we ignored, until he was marching over to us, then we ran back before he could get to us!

Race you back Sis!

 Tonight we plan an early night, just to make up for the last two days!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Another Day In Sunny Stockton on Tees!

Eee-Up Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Well, actually, Miss S and Mr B are back in the caravan snoozing the day away!

We on the other hand had to get up sooo early it was still dark for ages after we started off in the car!

Yesterday Old Two Legs was down at Malham Cove and managed to get a couple of pictures to show us.

Looking back from the bottom!

Looking back from on top!

Looking up from the bottom!

Looking across the top.

Finally, looking at the Cove as you approach from the village.

So, that was what he came back with yesterday!

This morning was terrible, we were up before even the early worm had woken, never mind the birds!

Holly and I fell asleep in the car while The Missus was panicing about her iPhoney mobile phone she had lost under the seat and couldn't get. Well, that was until OTL decided to stop and take a picture of the sunrise!

He opened the car door and was nearly blown back inside!

Still. was it worth it?

Morning over the Moors!

 When we finally arrived at Stockton we had some fun finding the shop but in the end it was only by a process of elimination that we found it, well, OTL went up and down every street in the area!

Soon the tables were all laid out and TM was ready for her class to arrive!

All ready for the off!

OK, more later on!

Us back again!

We have been out on the hills today, well, I mean t'Moors!

OTL managed to find us a place where we can be let off our leads!

Mind you, there was a catch to it all!

Well, I'm only pulling him up to that bit then he's on his own!

 Sneaky OTL kept his hand on the lead while we were doing all the hard work!

Pretty soon he relented and let us off the lead and we were away up the path in front of us 'cos you see we've got a Paw X Paw drive!

Just look at that view Sis!

 Poor OTL was puffing and blowing all the way up, Holly had to go back and check on him a couple of times, just to make sure he hadn't fallen over the side!

No, it's OK, I can see him!

 Mind you, when we were on top the wind was terrific, it nearly blew all the sniffs away!

Windy Innit?

 So, here we are now, waiting for TM to finish her class and then it's back to the caravan.

Sorry it's been a bit of a mix-up with the blog but you've got two days all wrapped up in one today!

See you tomorrow, and would you believe it, TM is going to a class in the same area, Sunny Stockton on Tees!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
