A Mixture of a Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super Sun Shinny Day it's been today! After yesterdays gloomy weather it made a nice change!

Holly and I still have the Grumbly Tum but it doesn't seem so bad today and I even felt like eating my dinner! Holly, she had a sniff and decided to leave it until all other sources of food have been investigated. (Like, how much can we mug off Old Two Legs!)

I sort of got in trouble this morning 'cos as soon as I got out of the car I was away chasing rabbits, OTL was not a Happy Bunny 'cos him, the ferrets, and Holly, all wanted to go the other way!

He had to come back, after the ferrets had done a wee and got back in the bag, to get me on the lead.

He's a right old Grumble Guts sometimes!

There's a Rabbit here, I know there is!

 Down on the beach Miss Snowflake headed off to the sea weed for a quick wash and a wee!

No Peeking!

We were on the beach looking the other way anyway 'cos there was  the sound of two woofers having a 'Discussion' and it sounded like one woofer was getting the bad end of the discussion!

Then it all stopped!

Who the Woof was that?

We headed back for home but Mr Brambles was in a funny mood, he kept jumping at Snowflake and nibbling her tail!

She of course turned around and beat him up! Funny thing was, he was laughing all the time!

Oh! Help! I'm being tickled to Death by a Ferret!

After Snowflake had gone on ahead, he just lay there and said that he felt like it was just the place to have a snooze before carrying on!

What he really wanted was for OTL to pick him up and give him a cuddle!

Oh Dear! I just can't go on any further!

 Then, after a couple of minutes, he was wriggling to be put back down so he could chase Snowflake again!

Back home we had our 'Morning Snooze' 'cos we still haven't got rid of the Grumbly Tum and too much running about makes you sleepy!

Then it was lunchtime.

We got OTL out and this time he decided to take the Yellow Filter out with him 'cos the clouds were all sort of 'Fluffy' and he reckons he could do some 'Artistic' stuff!

So, first stop is the Breakwater, this is a bit boring really but on the other paw the yellow filter gives it some definition.

We have been here before!

While he was playing about, Holly and I found a stick and I managed to 'Rescue' it again!

I'm good at that!

Mind you, Holly didn't want to get her paws wet, so it was up to me to be all big and brave!

I've managed to rescue it but it was a close thing!

 I got told I was a 'Soggy Doggy' but didn't care 'cos I had been all big and brave by rescuing the stick!

Me? A Soggy Doggy?

It was then that we heard a big woof from on top of The Sea Wall, it was Merc!

Well, his full name is Mercedes, no, we don't know why they called him that but Merc just loves OTL and he gets a good stroke and a tickle under the chin, Merc, not OTL, when ever they meet!

Yo! OTL!

When we got to the bench, both Holly and I jumped up to see if there were any rabbits ahead of us, but the ground was clear, just a couple of pigeons waddling along the path!

OTL got all sneaky and switched on the flash and took this picture, not bad, mind you, I'm still soggy!

The 'High Spot' of the walk!

Back home to have a snooze until it was time to take the post to the Post Box and of course Holly and I just had to come along as well!

So, the weather looks good for the next few days so I'm looking forward to 'Rescuing' more sticks!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We Got The Grumbly Tum!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, not such a good day today, Holly and I both have got Grumbly Tums! I don't know what it is that we have eaten that has caused it, but whatever it was, we have both eaten it!

Old Two Legs reckons it is something that The Missus has cooked 'cos he often gets indigestion after one of her cooking 'Experiments'. He reckons it is always a risk eating in our house!

We went out this morning for a walk but our heart wasn't really into it and the rain didn't help either!

Even the ferrets wanted to stay in the ferret bag and kept climbing up OTL's leg to get back!

No Thanks, Here is just fine for us!

Holly was looking for the sniff that has caused the Grumbly Tum but didn't find anything on the beach!

Well, it could be this one!

Both Holly and I have spent most of the day snoozing 'cos we reckon if you are asleep, the Grumbly Tum doesn't seem so bad!

OTL has been Manufacturing and finally, at about four thirty, packed it all into the car and headed off to the carrier.

Tomorrow it will be up in Aberdeen and in the customers works!

It's amazing that the load can make that trip and be in the North of Scotland yet when we go to the Isle of Mull, it takes two days!

Maybe next time we should all get in a big box and ship ourselves 'Overnight' to our holiday destination!

We are off for another snooze now, just in time to go to bed tonight and with a bit of luck, tomorrow the Grumbly Tums might have got better!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

I get a swim and Holly keeps dry and Brambles goes 'Old Skool'!

Hi Woofers!

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

It has been another of those 'Boring Days', that is when Old Two Legs gets all busy and looks serious while we get some snoozing done!

This morning we were out with the ferrets, as normal, except that OTL brought his camera with him but forgot to switch it off Black & White!

Mr Brambles reckons that it suits him down to the ground 'cos as he says, 'I'm and Old Fashion Ferret at Heart'!

An old Fashion Ferret having a Sniff!

Miss Snowflake wasn't going to be branded as Old Fashion, she let it be known that she was a 'Modern Miss'!

I'm a Modern Ferret who hunts Slimy Things!

Brambles, not to be out done said that an Old Fashion Ferret had loads of fun and was allowed to roll in as many sniffs as he wanted!

And he did!

I just Love a Good Sniff to Roll In!

Back home we let OTL get on with his 'Manufacturing' while Holly and I discussed Poo.

Don't laugh, Poo is a very interesting subject for us woofers! Now, the other day we heard that Hamish had a Grumbly Tum from sniffing Green Sheep Poo!

We stay away from Green Poo, one time Mr Brambles was unwell and managed to produce Green Poo that was almost Luminous!

And didn't it Pong!

Mind you, when you know that a ferret is from the same family as a Skunk, that gives you a warning!

Also, the ferrets have the ability to let go a real stinker if they feel threatened. We remember when Miss Twinkle came to live with us for a few days while OTL found her owner. Well, she was about a year old and a little scared of being in a new home and when OTL let her and Brambles and Snowflake out for a run around the office, she got all worried and let one go that almost brought tears to OTL's eyes!

Let's hope that Hamish gets rid of the Green Grumblies soon and is back to rolling in sniffs!

Back to today, and at lunch time the rain had stopped and the sunshine had come out.

Down on the beach the tide was right in and it was warm, so I sort of suggested to Holly that we might just have a little paddle in the sea, she on the other paw, said that she was going to keep her paws dry!

No, My Paws are staying Dry!

OTL wasn't looking at what we were doing, he was playing about with the camera and setting it up on the breakwater. I got in trouble for running in front of the lens and he made me sit behind him until he had finished!

I'm Behind Him!

We then headed along the Sea Wall and challenged OTL to a race but he said he didn't feel like running!

Lazy OTL!

Come On! Race Ya!

We ran ahead and Holly went up on the Sea Wall for a sniff while I went in for a bit of a 'Deep Paddle'!

Well, actually it was a swim and I took a stick out with me, just in case I got told off 'cos I could say I was rescuing a stick from drowning!

Look! I'm rescuing this Stick!

OTL said I was a 'Crafty Madam' but he threw the stick in a few times for me to fetch back.

See, it works every time, let's face it, I couldn't get any wetter!

Then it happened, we lost the stick!

No, You had it Last!

Back home OTL gave me a good rub down and I went off to have a well earned snooze!

OTL went back to 'Manufacturing' and Holly retired to the sofa to sleep 'cos she said she wasn't feeling too good, another Grumbly Tum?

Let's hope it's not the Green Grumblies!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr 'Old Skool' Brambles!

We get a card from Trev!

Hi Woofers!

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

You know Old Two Legs spotted a tadpole in the pond and The Missus named him Trevor? Well, we have been looking for him every time we go past the pond.

No luck!

We were getting a bit worried that either OTL was seeing things or Trevor had come to a sticky end in the beak of an amphibian eating bird!

What we didn't think of was what else could have happened to him!

Until TM told us about the post card she got yesterday!

It was from Sweden and it was from Trevor!

He was on his holiday meeting up with some distant relatives!

Holly said she has a feeling that there could be more tadpoles hiding at the bottom of the pond, and what will we call them when we finally find them?

Trev, Trevar, Trevino, Trevette, Trevor, Trevet? The list goes on forever!

I think we will just have to wait and see!

This morning it was raining when we set out for our walk but when we got to the car park the rain had stopped!

That was it, Holly and I were off chasing a rabbit while Snowflake and Brambles decided to finish their snooze in the ferret bag. 

OTL did get them out a couple of times, just to see if they wanted a wee but they were quite happy staying where it was warmest!

I'll stay here thanks!

 Down on the beach Brambles spotted young Bryn walking along the Sea Wall and gave Snowflake a warning 'cos we are not 100% sure he doesn't fancy a nibble of ferret for breakfast!

Hey Gang! I think That's Bryn on the Wall!

 Snowflake wasn't too interested in meeting Bryn so she headed for the Ferret Bag. What she does is to climb up onto OTL's boot and then scramble up the bag and into the big pocket!

It is always the same, as soon as she gets to OTL's foot wear she says..............

Bootyfull!

 Oh yes, what a wag!

Back home we had some Doggy Scoff in our bowl, which we left for later and headed off to the office for a snooze on our cushions while OTL gets on with his 'Manufacturing'

Lunchtime we were down the beach again and it was full of Two Legs, there was even one couple who offered Holly and me a nibble, it was horrid!

OTL says it looks like a cracker but it sniffed awful!

So that was it, No Strokes!

What the woof is that?

 Next we tried the fishermen, No Fish, No Sarnies, that's  it, No Strokes there either! Wot was worse, they were throwing the worm and a big weight into the sea, it was a good job I kept my eyes open!

Oi! Careful when you waggle that thing about!

 Back home OTL managed to finish some of the work and we will get the next delivery tomorrow, so it's back to work again tomorrow!

Tonight it is the paperwork to be finished!

Let's hope that he gets it all done before the next job!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Saturday alone with OTL.

Hi Woofers!

It's Us Again! Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Today we were woken up by The Missus very early, in fact, it was still dark!

So, being good woofers, we turned over and cuddled up to Old Two Legs and went back to sleep!

The ferrets didn't think much of that 'cos they were rattling the door on Snowy Heights and making so much noise that in the end OTL had to get up!

TM was off at seven to set up the tables and stuff in the village hall ready for the weekend of fun and games with the Card & Thong!

We headed off for our morning stroll  in the big car 'cos TM had pinched our normal transport!

When we got to the car park Holly and I headed off to search for rabbits while OTL got the ferrets out of the travelling cage!

Come On, Let Us Out!

It wasn't long before they were charging about and Snowflake was diving in and out of the sea weed!

Wee Finished, come and pick me up!

Back home OTL was busy 'Manufacturing' while Holly and I enjoyed our Chicken Breakfast!

The ferrets pinched some of our biscuits and then headed up stairs to pig out on their own ferret food! 

Only one thing to do after a meal, have a snooze!

Come lunchtime we had an appointment to drop into the Card & Thong gathering where we got made a fuss of, fed a little bit of sausage and generally got a lot of attention!

The ferrets  were doing the same thing but from OTL's arms 'cos he didn't trust them to not chase around and get into trouble!

We left them all to carry on and headed off to the beach again!

OTL took his camera with him but this time he put his 'Fish Eye' lens on so he could get some really 'Wide Angle' shots!

Wide Angle Shot!

 Just for fun he switched over to Black & White and pointed the camera to the sky, It's not often you see OTL in a picture!

A Rare Shot of OTL!

 It's amazing how it makes everything look vast and spacious!

Looks Vast!

 Mind you, it didn't help the fishermen we passed, they hadn't caught anything and finished up their sarnies as well!

No Fish, No Sarnies, No Strokes!

That was it, back home again to some more manufacturing while Holly and I had a game of 'Chase' around the garden!

Then we chased the pigeons  and a couple of sparrows off the bird feeders!

OTL was still 'Manufacturing' and on Monday there is even more 'Manufacturing' to be done!

So, we are now waiting for TM to come home before we head off to bed for our night time snooze!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We got a Weather Warning!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here.

First of all, a big thanks to Izzy and Hamish for explaining all about the Google Cloudy Photo Book Thingy!

We have tried to explain it to Old Two Legs but he just doesn't get it, he thinks we have been playing with his computer while he's not looking!

Us?

Never!

Much!

We were down on the beach this morning just before high tide and the water was still beyond the rocks, so Mr Brambles couldn't go for a swim and neither could I!

Not deep enough to get a claw wet!

Not that it stopped Miss Snowflake from having a good sniff around the rocks!

I do love a salty sniff!

Mr Brambles, on the other paw, was a lazy ferret this morning. He got out of his bag on the way down to the beach, had a wee, then got back in!

When OTL tried to get him out of the bag on the beach, all he would say was 'Jus' five minutes more'!

Mr Snoozy or Wot!

Once we got off the beach Mr Brambles was out of the bag and ferreting around everywhere. OTL said that Brambles 'Had the Pickle In Him' this morning 'cos he was jumping about and chasing Snowflake and then chased Holly and me!

Then he hid in the grass and tried to do a Commando Crawl to sneak up on Holly while she was having a sniff!

Brambles On A Mission!

Of course Holly saw him creeping up and just trotted of saying that he 'Had to be a lot quieter to catch her out'!

Back home OTL has been working hard on getting everything cleared up before the weekend and you know what? We went out for our lunchtime walk a little earlier than normal 'cos OTL was watching the Weather Radar and spotted a load of rain heading our way!

There was even a 'Weather Warning' from the MET Office! The web site said  YELLOW Warnings in force for Medway   They reckon there would be some heavy rain and strong winds as well as a 'Cold Front' passing quickly through our area!

So, out we went but OTL took our rain coats, just in case!

Down on the beach there were a couple of fishermen who had 'Caught Nothing' when OTL asked them 'How are you doing?'

Nuffin'!

So they were not going to have fish and chips tonight!

Mind you, Holly and I have been promised Lambs Heart tonight, freshly cooked and biscuits soaked in gravy!

Mmmmmm! Yum, Yum, Yum!

We got back before the rain started, so Holly and I remained all warm and dry!

Tomorrow The Missus is off up the Village Hall for a 'Craft a Thong Thingy', there are loads of the 'Glue & Glitter Gang' going to spend the weekend making cards and donating profits to charity.

Sounds like a load of fun, all us Woofers plan to call in and say 'Hello' to them all.

Mr Brambles and Snowflake say they will be on their best behaviour as well!

We might even see you up there!

All visitors welcome!

Bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

A Super Pongy Day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Now, you know yesterday we found this super sniff and had a really good roll? Well, we were out first thing this morning looking for it again!

We just couldn't find it!

We searched and searched but it was nowhere to be found!

It was here yesterday, I'm sure it was!

 It really was where we left it yesterday, it was that we were looking on the wrong side of the path!

It took Mr Brambles to sniff it out for us!

Hey Girls, it's over here!

Before Old Two Legs could say a thing, we were both over the other side and having a good roll!

You can imagine how OTL got upset with us, he called us Smelly Nelly's and told us we were going to get another washing when we got back home!

I tried to get out of it by having a dip in the sea and telling OTL it had all washed away with the tide!

He didn't believe me!

Just having a little splosh to was to sniff away, honest!

It didn't work and we both had the old Cold Wet Rag all over our backs and ended up sniffing like tarts!

Lunchtime OTL came across a Goats Beard flower on the grass path. Last year he collected some seeds to sow in our Wild Flower Patch in the garden. They haven't grown yet, so we reckon that it must need salty air to propagate!

Goats Beard

Holly and I came across a family having their lunch on our bench. There were two woofers there and we said hello and joined in a Community Sniff!

Then Holly got down to business, 'OK, enough of the sniffs, where's the food?'

We were just too late, they had finished it and were dumping the wrappers!

Come on, where is the food?

That was it, no food, no more sniffs!

OTL left us with The Missus this afternoon 'cos he had to go and see a customer, so Holly and I had a game of chase around the garden then off for a snooze before he came back.

It looks like rain tomorrow, still, the garden can do with a wet!

Still no sign of Trev, we reckon he is hiding under all the weed.

Just wait until he gets fully grown, we'll have fun chasing him around the garden!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Two Surprises, Too Hot and Too Busy and Trev!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, Old Two Legs has been working hard today, paperwork and post, mostly invoices but there was one envelope that had him all smiles and 'Look at This Everyone'!

Now that sort of reaction is normally reserved for when he gets a cheque in the post but today it was a Puffin Tag!

The Lovely Zoe, (one of the Glue & Glitter Girls) has been reading about OTL's disastrous attempts to photograph Puffins while he was on holiday and to make up for his failure, she has kindly made him a Puffin Tag!

How absolutely lovely, thank you Zoe! 

We have been down the beach this morning to catch up on the sniffs, loads of new ones, and, we found this brilliant sniff that both Holly and I rolled in for ages!

It got us a 'big wash' when we got home, but it was worth it!

On The Beach Mr Brambles was tempted to go in for a swim but in the end he just had a sniff!

It's water but not as clean as when we were on holiday!

Miss Snowflake thought she had found a Nelly Fish on our beach but it was just a plastic bottle that some Two Legs had left there instead of putting it in the rubbish bin!

No, it's not a Nelly Fish!

Holly was all over the place looking for every sniff she could find, unlike me. I decided to enjoy each one and save some for tomorrow as well!

Ole Greedy Guts just sniffed everything she could find!

I've got loads of sniffs already!

We met up with a few of the lads and exchanged stories about our holiday and the location of recent sniffs!

Then we headed off for home again.

Holidays are OK Sis but, I'm glad to be home again!

Back home the plants in the garden have been growing at a tremendous rate while we have been away and it looks like jungle in the garden!

OTL topped the pond up with water and was doing his 'Studying' of the inhabitants of the pond. 'Here' he says, 'There's a Big Fat Tadpole Here!' but by the time we got there it had swum into the weed.

Well! we didn't expect that 'cos we hadn't seen any signs of tadpoles and on top of that Archie Babe had done a 'Frog Search' when he was here last and even he couldn't find any signs and he is an Expert!

We told The Missus who says that she is going to call him Trev!

Why Trev? I mean, I'm sure we could have thought up some thing with a more Amphibian sound like Joe Croaker or Kermit or even Prince (Gissa Kiss) Charming! But Trev??????????

So now we will be looking out for any more signs, OTL says that the tadpole he saw was almost all head and just a little wiggly tail, so it won't be too long before he grows his legs, then we will have some fun!

You know, it has been rather hot today, when we go away on holiday, it is always hotter and sunnier at home than where we go on holiday. It's a good job we are not worried about getting a sun tan, well, except Holly Dog who is always after 'Catching Some Rays'!

Another thing OTL has been surprised with is this:-

Story Book?

We have no idea how it was set up or who did it or if it comes F.O.C. 'cos he has loads of photos in the blog!

We don't know if you can 'Subscribe' to it or 'Follow' it or wot!

If anyone knows, please tell OTL!

So, that's it for today.

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

We're Back!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here and we are back!

We were up good and early this morning, mainly 'cos I got the 'Grumbly Tum' and needed to get to the Doggy Field rather quickly!

We got The Missus out of bed and off we went!

It was rather good 'cos I got there in time and TM saw a Roe Deer in the field next to the Doggy Field!

Back in the caravan Old Two Legs was still snoring his head off totally unaware that we had gone out!

Pretty soon we were sitting in the car waiting for TM and OTL to get everything packed away ready for the journey home.

Before we left, Holly and I got a last walk around the Doggy Field and I spotted a rabbit and went steaming after it!

OTL was not a Happy Puppy 'cos he wanted to get going and I was nowhere to be seen!

In the end I was 'Found' and marched over to where Holly was sitting in the middle of the field.

Then a squirrel went hopping past Holly, that was it, off went Holly like a pound of frozen lard on ice!

The Take Off and Holly is going well!

Changing up a gear and gaining fast!

Heading for the first bend and still flat out!

Loosing Traction on the wet grass, a bit of over steer and.........

Rat Holes! I'm Going Over

Well that was it, Holly went over and the squirrel went through the fence and up a tree and out of sight!

Come Back and Play Fair!

 It didn't help that a Chaffinch was laughing it's tail feathers off at Holly missing the squirrel!

That was it, no squirrel and no rabbits!

Finally we got back home around three this afternoon and were soon helping get all the stuff in the house. The ferrets were very excited about being home and had a great time helping TM to sort out the washing!

So, that's it and we plan an early night so that OTL can get going on the big pile of letters we found on the mat!

OTL says that they can wait a few more hours!

So, tomorrow we will be looking forward to getting down on the beach again and catching up on the sniffs!

See you tomorrow Woofers!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
