So, Where is Our Oscar?

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

What a day it's been!

Up late this morning 'cos we wen to bed late last night. Old Two Legs finally finished the video for The Missus and after spending hours up loading it to YouTube, it went 'Live' last night!

TM seems pleased with the result, (so she should be!) and she is now getting all the glory on FaceAche, mind you, not a word about the hours OTL and us spent working in the 'Editing Suite' getting rid of TM's Err's and Ummmns' and 'Oppp's that's gone on the floor'!

It was Hell, but we did it in the end!

Bleeding Art Tissue with Inky!

Well, we were a little late in getting out but as we missed most of the rain it didn't really matter!

OTL thought that there might be some 'Dramatic Clouds' so he brought along the B&W camera and the Yellow Filter.

All there was up in the sky was 'Grey Cloud' everywhere!

Dramatic it ain't!
It wasn't too cold and the tide was out. Holly and I had a game of 'Chase' then Snowflake decided to have a 'Ferret Game' called 'Hide 'n Sneak'!


Hide 'n Sneak anyone?
 I was having too much fun to join in her game, Holly was down the other end of the beach and Brambles was hunting Kebab Sniffs!

Sand Shovelling!
 Mind you, I did let her join in digging my hole!

You dig there and I'll dig here!
Mr Brambles is so food orientated, he is still breakfasting on our Doggy Biscuits and he makes a real pig of himself!

The way he is obsessed by the Kebab Sniff I reckon that OTL will get a serious mugging the next time he brings a Kebab home!

It's still gone, wonder when it'll come back?
OTL has been busy this morning with 'Manufacturing' again, work, work, work, these Two Legs seem to do nothing else, poor dears!

Us Woofers on the other paw know how to enjoy life and it starts off with a snooze!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again and this time there were some breaks in the clouds, not many, but some!

Holly met up with one of the Wormy Men who was coming in off the mud, of course, Holly being Holly was straight down the steps and wanted to have a look!

Hey Mister, Let's Have a Look at Yer Worms?
 He said that she was just big enough for him to feed her to the worms and at that point she ran off!

We met up with Bonnie, a very nice Staffy who thinks OTL is just wonderful and the best thing is he gives her a tickle on her tail!

Hello OTL!
Holly and I think that she is just one Big Tart!

Holly suggested that we sat on The Sea Wall and let OTL set up a picture to show the 'Dramatic Clouds'

We still reckon that what he needs is dramatic clouds and dramatic mountains, like wot there is at the end of Rannoch Moor, just before you go down into Glencoe!

OK, where are the mountains?
Now, we have been waiting for the knock on the door and the crowds of reporters and loads of people clapping and a big red carpet outside the front of the house.

I mean, that last film we did deserved the biggest Oscar of them all!

Just a gentle hint........................We are Still Waiting!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

OTL makes a Discovery on The Beach!

Hi Woofers!

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

Busy Busy Day today, well for Old Two Legs anyway, poor lad has been 'Manufacturing'. Us on the other paw have been enjoying snoozes, in between eating!

We had sunshine when we went out down The Beach and Miss Snowflake had great fun dancing over the rocks and sea weed! 

I just Love the Sunshine!
Brambles was complaining that he had an itch on his tail but to get to it means he had to roll on the sand, so, being a caring sort of ferret, Miss Snowflake gave it a scratch for him!

Yeah! Just there!
Mr Brambles even had fun digging a hole!

Then he was off looking for the Chicken Kebab he sniffed yesterday!

It was here that we lost it yesterday!
Snowflake joined us up on the grass path where we found a super sniff and of course, she was there in the queue!

Come on, hurry up, I'm next!
Back home we got Doggy Scoff waiting for us, which didn't please Holly, or me!

Mr Brambles, of course, rushed into the kitchen and was stuffing his chops with our 'Chicken Bits'. I have never heard of a ferret eating dog food before but he seems to do well on it!

Holly and I will admit to enjoying the Ferret Bits OTL feeds to the ferrets!

Well, share and share alike!

We left OTL to get on with his work while we spent some time woofing at the Two Legs walking past our front window!

After a while we got a bit fed up and decided to go and worry OTL to take us out early for the lunchtime walk.

As he was getting fed up with 'Manufacturing' he said that a walk was a 'Good Idea'!

Down on the beach, Holly and I were mooching along The Sea Wall while OTL was strolling along the beach when, suddenly, he stopped and got down on his knees!

Seems he had found a shell, so what, there are loads of them on the beach.

He said that this one was different, it was a Sea Urchin shell!

Well, half a shell and it was small as well.

Sea Urchin!
Now, OTL says that the urchin normally would be in deeper water than we have off the shore 'cos for about a mile it is all mud!

What it does say is that the water must be clean to have urchins around!

OTL says that it has it's mouth underneath the shell and sticky spines all over the shell!

Crazy or wot!

A Sort of Starfish type of animal!
We left that and headed off to have a game of 'Chase' and OTL was talking about how he had wished that he had brought the B&W camera 'cos the clouds looked 'Interesting'!

Well, you can't win them all!


Dramatic but in colour!
Yes, definitely it needs a Yellow Filter and B&W!

Back home to have a snooze before dinner!

See you tomorrow lads!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Rivers of Mud and Take 57!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

We have had some fun today, it started first thing this morning. The Missus had got up around five and decided to have a quick run around with the jet powered vacuum cleaner.

That woke everyone up!

The ferrets were kicking their Poo Pots around, Holly called out that they should 'Keep Woofin' Quiet!' and Old Two Legs rolled over, knocked his glasses onto the floor and went to sleep again!

We all woke up again at seven thirty!

Except TM, who was wide awake all the time!

Up we got and the sun was shining and both ferrets were charging around in the office getting all excited about their breakfast of Lactose Free Milk!

We headed off to the beach and Mr Brambles asked to get out for a wee before we got to the beach. Miss Snowflake got out at the same time to have a ferret around.

Mr Brambles was in a good mood and pretended to be a 'Grass Shark' and said he was chasing OTL!

Here comes the Grass Shark!
Soon they were back in the Ferret Bag and by the time we got to The Beach they were both fast asleep!

Snowflake was out first and played a game of 'Chase OTL' to try to get back in the bag.

Brambles on the other paw, had trouble waking up again and it took a little while before he finally got moving!

I really didn't want to wake up!
Holly and I had a game of chase and I found an egg sack which we both tossed into the air and it was carried along in the wind!

My Turn!
 Miss Snowflake was scampering about an getting fed up with chasing OTL she stopped and pointed her nose to the sky, 'Mmmmmmmm Chicken Kebab!'

A Sniff from Southend on Sea!
Both ferrets followed the sniff but when the climbed up the steps, it faded away!

It's Gone!
We met up with Barney who wanted to know where the ferrets were before he greeted OTL and got a tickle behind his ear!

He's a bit of a wimp really, but a lovely lad all the same!

OK, where are they?
Back home OTL was busy working and pretty soon he had a big parcel ready for the carrier.

After shipping it we headed off to The Forest! OTL was worried about the mud but we told him that it must all be dry by now!

He still put on his wellies!

Just how wrong can we get!

It started off all nice and dry.

Look! No Mud Here!
We spotted a bunch of Young Daffodils growing in the wood and Holly said that it won't be long before they started to bloom!

This years Daffs!
We were on the lookout for squirrels and it was OTL who saw the first one!

Squirrel!
It was OK spotting them but the path was very muddy and by the time we got to where they were, they had gone!


A Path? More like a River of Mud!
By the time we got back to the car our legs were very muddy and quaggy! OTL put us on our leads before we got in the car to keep us off the seats!

I feel very muddy!
Back home we both got a good wash to get rid of the mud!

Up stairs we went to tell the ferrets all about The Forest but they were both asleep, Snowflake was in their 'Sleep Basket' and Mr Brambles was asleep in the Hammock!

This is the life!
 Late this afternoon, TM got all psyched up and did her 'Bleeding Tissue video again and again and again!

It's amazing how you can get tongue tied when your painting a tissue with cold water!

You will be pleased to know that they finally finished, after about five hundred 'Takes', so now it's up to OTL to put it all together!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Lazy Day Today!

Greetings Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here.

It was cold this morning, there was ice all over the windows of the car. Old Two Legs spent ages scraping it all off!

When we got down to The Beach there were frozen puddles all over the place.

Pretty but very slippy!

Frozen!
Down on the beach we could see where the tide had come up to at the last High Tide.

We decided to have a game of chase but couldn't decide who was first to 'Go'!

No! You Go First!
Brambles and Snowflake had a super time diving in and out of the grass looking for Stoats and Weasels. They had just as much success as Holly has had finding rabbits!

I just 'Love' having a good Ferret around in the grass!
There was a noise and guess who crashed through the grass?

It was Bryn! He had been out with Max & Oscar but had held back, just to say hello to us all!

Yo Girlie's!
Back home OTL was back to working making stuff, so Holly and I used the time to have our normal snooze  in OTL's office.

I woke up again around eleven forty five and decided that it was time for our lunchtime wander along the beach.

I jumped up onto OTL's lap and gave his nose a good licking and then looked deep into his eyes.

He got the message!

The tide was on it's way in but it wouldn't be high tide until eleven minutes past three so Holly and I decided a stroll along the beach would be best.

Holly and I started by strolling along the Sea Wall enjoying the sniffs and OTL was down on the beach with the camera.

We didn't really take too much notice of where he was so it was a bit of a surprise when he poked his head up, camera in hand, and said 'BOO!'

Who?
Holly came along afterwards and I stood there to see if she got caught.

Yep!

BOO!
That OTL is getting too clever by half!

We heard a strange noise that seemed to be moving down the mud flats just off shore, then, around the corner came.....................four Hovercraft!

Now, it's not often we see Hovercraft on the mud and to see four all together was a sight to see!

A Sunday Morning Drive on The Mud!
We were wondering what the Wormy men would say but today they had all gone home before the Hovercraft arrived.

Back home there was all doom and gloom. The Missus started of with the famous quotation.

'We have a Serious Problem' !

Now, that could mean, there is water flooding the house or the cooker has caught alight again, or someone has driven a car through the back wall or the laptop computer is pouring smoke out the DVD slot or maybe her left leg has dropped off and upset the Glitter Pot!

You know, the sort of problem you get nightmares about!

Now TM sometimes does suffer from an 'Over Dramatic' view of the problem.

What ever it is that is the problem, it normally means OTL has got money to pay out!

This 'Problem' is no different!

The fridge in the kitchen somehow has stopped being a fridge and turned into a Freezer!

Our carrots were like steel rods, the ferrets milk had icebergs floating on top and the chicken TM cooked yesterday was like a rock!

Our Lambs Heart dinner was like a kerb stone as well!

OTL, being a 'Careful' sort of Two Legs, decided to turn the thermostat down to 'One' and see what happens. We reckon that he will be ordering a new fridge tomorrow.

OTL says that in years gone past he might have just replaced the thermostat but nowadays it is all sealed up and getting to the part would be real pain and getting an engineer in might end up costing nearly as much as a new fridge!

So, it looks like we got a new fridge arriving in a week or so!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

A Day with OTL

Hello Woofers!

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

Down here in North Kent it was raining when we went for our morning walk, not heavy rain but that sort of rain that's cold and gets through your fur and makes you go Brrrrr!

Miss Snowflake made us laugh, she insisted that having a 'Wee Alfresco' was the best way to start the day.

I Love an Alfresco Wee!
Holly said that all our weeing was done 'Alfresco' 'cos Old Two Legs won't let us use the loo in the house!

Holly has been doing some serious investigations and reckons that there are more rabbits this year. At every opportunity, she is over in the Rabbit Hunting Ground looking for rabbits to chase.

All she has found so far is one rather saucy cat who spat at her!

They are here, I know they are!
The Missus spent the day up at the village hall at the monthly crop, all 'Gas and Glitter'!

OTL said that today we should be getting a Spring Tide, that is one when it comes up the beach a bit further than normal.

We got him to take us out a bit earlier than normal for our lunchtime walk and had some fun trying to mug the fishermen who were setting up their rods on The Sea Wall.

Oi! Gissa a Sarnie or I'll bite yer ankle!
It didn't work, they have been mugged by Holly before and now know not to bring any sarnies with them when the fish off our shores!

Wimps!

We were down on the beach a bit too early for the High Tide but we did see the waves start to lap on the shore.

Here come the waves!
OTL said that the High Time wouldn't be for another couple of hours but he would take us all the way down to the end of the Sea Wall and back again!

It made a change to see the Medway Fort from another angle!

That's a new side!
I found an old lump of wood that looks like it could have been part of an old dock and as I was standing on it pretending to sail it down the river, OTL says he wants to sit on it!

I had to tell him!

Woof Off! This is My Boat!
Sorted him out I did!

Down near the Power Station there is an outlet for all the warm water from the power station and the ducks and geese love to paddle in the pool 'cos the water is warmer than the river water!


A Ducky Lido!
When the tide comes right in, the water from the Power Station laps over the wall making the Lido a super warm bath for them!

Stand Bye Lads, Warm water is arriving!
Back home we had our brush and a few Choc Drops, a nibble of Doggy Scoff and a slurp of Ferret Milk!

Followed by a snooze!

It wasn't too long before OTL had to go and pick up TM from the Village Hall, so we sat looking out of the window until she got back!

We hear that Lucy Babe is getting to the end of her visits to the vets and everything is looking good!

Rock on Girl! Claws are all crossed this end of the world!

By the way, we also hear that it is Auntie Sue's birthday today, so all together now.........


    HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE SUE!!!!!!!

We are off to see what OTL's got for dinner, maybe we'll be lucky!

Tomorrow we are going for 'Take Two' of TM's attempt to demonstrate the 'Bleeding Tissue' technique, it seems that Holly's cheering while they were filming wasn't appreciated by TM!

That's the trouble with these 'Stars', nothing but a bunch of Primadonna's

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

He Sneaked Off Again!

Hi Woofers!

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

Didn't it rain last night! We were woken up and had to seek comfort by cuddling up to Old Two Legs who was snoring away, as normal and he didn't even hear the rain!

Mind you, Holly gave him a shove and stopped his snoring and just to make sure, I gave him a lick behind the ear, just to make sure he was awake!

We were a little early on The Beach and even so, Mr Brambles asked to be put down before he got to the beach, it seems his Lactose Free Milk got through his system a bit quicker than normal and he wanted a wee!

Can I get out for a minute?
Miss Snowflake stayed in the bag saying that he shouldn't be so greedy when drinking the milk, 'cos he not only drinks his bowl full but helps Snowflake finish off hers as well!

OTL calls him 'A Right Guzzle Guts!'

That's Better, can I get back in the bag now?

Down on The Beach it was a little windy and Snowflake told Brambles to stop still while she sheltered from the wind by hiding behind his butt!


That's it, stay there!
Of course he didn't stay there and after a run over the rocks the pair of them wanted to get back in the bag!

Can we come back please?
OTL said 'No' and the idea was for them to get some exercise by running along the beach and back to the car!

Mr Brambles showed off a little then tried to creep up on Mrs Corvid who was investigating some stuff further up the beach!

Creepy, Creepy, Catch a Corvid!
Of course, he didn't, she was too clever for him and flew of saying that he had to get up a lot earlier if he planned to catch her!

We met up with Max, Oscar and Bryn who were sniffing around on The Sea Wall. They are still fascinated by the ferrets sniff and Max got a bit too close and nearly got a 'Ferret Kiss' on his nose!

Hello Lads!
Back home we were given a Rawhide Chew after the Tesco Man had dropped off our stuff. Both Holly and I were too busy chewing away to notice OTL creep out the front door with his tool box!

He was off to Auntie Zoe to install her new washing machine and had decided to leave us at home!

Not Fair if you ask me!

The Missus took us out at lunch time but it wasn't the same, she didn't join in our game of 'Hunt The Rabbit' and she didn't have a game on the beach digging holes in the sand either!

So, a bit later OTL arrived back and Holly and I both gave him a 'Welcome Back' lick on the nose!

Well, we have got to be good to him 'cos we plan some serious mugging tonight!

TM is off to her 'Crop' tomorrow, and with a bit of luck, we may get an 'Adventure' with OTL in The Forest' again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Squirrel Hunting Fun in The Mud!

Hi Woofers!

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

I don't know about where you are but here the weather just can't make up it's mind! Like, this morning it was sunny but cold and at lunchtime it got all overcast and then just as we got back in the car it started to rain!

Before we go out in the mornings, the ferrets and Old Two Legs spend some 'Quality Time' together, in the office having breakfast, together.

Well, OTL has his Rabbit Food, a glass of Orange Juice and a cup of tea.

The ferrets have a bowl each with some Lactose Free Milk in it and a desert spoon full of hot water, just to take the chill off!

Both ferrets just love the stuff and it's 'Nose down and Tail Up' until they have finished both bowls, then it's over to OTL to try to mug him for the last couple of drops of milk from his bowl.

They only get a couple of licks each 'cos Full Fat Milk is not good for their system!

After they have finished, there is a game of 'Explore' all around the office and sorting out any new stuff on the desk top, which normally ends up on the floor!

Today there was something newish on the floor!

It's OTL's Spare Feet!
Both ferrets were in there like a greasy rat up a drain pipe! Mr Brambles was even standing on his head at one time!

Then he announced that 'Someone has Poo'd in here'!

Of course, Miss Snowflake came over to have a sniff!

Nah! Sniffs like Wee to me!
Mr Brambles wanted to know just how do you wee in there?

This is how it's done!
Trust Miss Snowflake to know all the answers, just like Holly Dog!

Down on the beach, the tide was out and the sun was shining and there was a cold wind blowing as well. Miss Snowflake said she didn't mind the wind, especially as she was dry after her wee!

Look! No Water Today!
Now, us woofers don't hang about on the beach too long, there aren't too many sniffs to be investigated but the ferrets seem quite happy to sniff every crack in The Sea Wall, just in case there was a Stoat Sniff to be had!

What are those Ferrets Doing?
Finally we were all back home and of course, Brambles pigged out on our biscuits, as normal!

I'm wondering what will happen when the bag is empty, will The Missus buy him a bag all of his own?

Lunchtime we were down the carriers again and OTL asked if we fancy going to The Forrest?

Does a Doggy Love Sniffin?

OTL put his wellies on 'cos he said it might be a bit quaggy but Holly and I said it hadn't rained for ages!

We came across a load of Snowdrops growing in between the trees and of course, OTL just had to take a picture!

First Snowdrops of the year!
On we went and as the path turned the corner what did we see?

QUAGGY!

Do they do Doggy Wellies?
Holly and I had to dance around the edges but OTL just went squelching through the middle!

There were some Puff Ball Fungi that looked well past their 'Sell By' date and OTL cracked a funny, he said that they were 'All Puffed Out'!

Oh yes, Ha, Ha, Ha, very droll!

All Puffed Out!
Holly and I were ducking and diving all over the place looking for squirrels but all we found were droppings, and we couldn't chase them!
No Squirrel here!
Then, high in a tree, OTL spotted a squirrel!

He gave us our secret 'Heads Up' call and there, sitting up on a branch, eating a Hazel Nut, was the fattest squirrel we have seen this year!

Of course, it saw us and started to give us some 'Verbal'

Yeah? Just come down here and say that!
Pretty soon it had finished the Hazel Nut and dropped the shell down on us and laughing, ran off across the branches!

I'm not that Daft!
Just as we were considering giving chase, OTL spotted a Nuthatch on another branch, obviously looking for the squirrels store of nuts!

A Nuthatch looking for some nuts!
We left him to it and headed off back to the car park. It was a bit slow going 'cos around the back of the forest there was more quag than normal!

We really do need Wellies!
Back home for a snooze and then off to mug OTL for some of his dinner!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
