Someone Nicked The Water!

Hi Woofers!

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

It been a super sunny day today, this morning was great, we saw Bailey the old Long Haired Labrador who says he is 'Over One Hundred'! 

He reckons it is too warm for him especially with all his hair and he said he wished he could go in for a swim but didn't think he was fit enough to go splashing about like he used to!

We did our 'Rabbit Hunt' first thing but the rabbits were heading back to the burrows for an after breakfast snooze.

This is no good, they've gone!

Down on the beach Miss Snowflake was having trouble working out why her rock had shrunk!

Brambles says I've been wee'ing on it too much!

 What Brambles didn't tell her was that he had thrown sand all over her rock so it couldn't be seen properly!

Let's see her find it now!

 Feeling somewhat cheated of a good wee, Snowflake came over to help me dig a hole in the sand.

Mind you, she can't shift as much as I can but in the end I had to let her have a go!

Come on, it's my turn now!

Needless to say, once she got in the hole, she wouldn't let me back in again! I left her to it and wandered off down the beach.

Bro Brambles came up and said that Snowflake wouldn't let him, I told him about I was kicked out as well!

She won't let me in either!

 I decided to play a trick on Old Two Legs. First I made him stand still and close his eyes, then I walked up the beach and told him to get ready with the camera.

Then I ran down the beach and jumped up and woofed 'NOW'!

Daisy jumping over OTL!

 Up the grass path Snowflake and I were having a ferret around when something moved in the grass. We didn't see what it was and because OTL had Snowflake on a lead and she was in the way!

Well I reckon it's a snake with legs on!

 Brambles decided not to bother chasing anything as it was too warm for running about! So, while Snowflake and I were investigating, Brambles did what he does best, he just rolled onto his side to catch a few more rays!

Wake me up when your finished!

 We didn't find any snakes or mouses or lizards, so we headed back to the car and home for a bowl of Doggy Scoff!

OTL went back to manufacturing while us Woofers stood guard by the food cupboard, just in case something fell out while OTL wasn't looking!

Mind you, we got plans for OTL's dinner tonight!

We had to go out walking at lunchtime with The Missus as OTL was out working.

When we got down to the Sea Wall I ran straight down the beach to the water.

Only problem was.....................No Water!

I mean, nothing, not even a puddle to roll in!

I stood there looking to the left and then to the right and then out to the horizon but there was nothing!¬

I was not a Happy Puppy!

Holly didn't care 'cos she 'Doesn't Do Water'...................But I Do!

Well, you can't win them all!

Maybe tomorrow!

See you!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Cloudy Monday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

What a change in the weather, this morning was a little damp but not too wet.

We went out this morning with the ferrets and Old Two Legs and while everyone charging about Miss Snowflake found some old clothing that a TL had left in the rock pool.

Come on, a few washes in that machine and it'll be OK for OTL!

After some discussion with OTL it was decided to leave it there and see if the sea would wash it first!

Along came that Bozo who we always bark at but he never acknowledges us 'cos he is in love with his ball.

However, today he came along and spotted the ferrets. ' What are they?' He said, then he dropped his ball! 'Well, look at the Long Wheel Base Rats!'

That was just too much for Holly. 'Hey Bozo!' says Holly, 'You're talking about my Bro and Sis, watch it or I'll take your ball and shove it up your tail!'

Rats?

That was it, Bozo dropped his ball and it rolled off the wall and landed at OTL's feet!

OTL picked it up and threw it along the Sea Wall. Bozo Woofer forgot about the ferrets and off he went!

Clever or wot!

Of course, Brambles just had to open his mouth!

'Hey Sis!' he calls out 'Thanks for looking after your Bro & Sis!'

All Holly said was ..................'Shut Up!'

We headed back for home and Brambles was calling out to Holly......'Who do you love the best, me or her Sis?'

Holly would only say...............................'Shut Up!'

Brambles said he felt a tickling under his tail and asked me if I could see anything crawling around his tail. I had a look but there was nothing there.

No, can't see anything there!

 Snowflake came up and gave me a kiss saying that I was very brave getting that close to his Butt!

If you want I'll clear ears out as well!

 Back home there was Lambs Heart waiting for us and our snooze beds were calling as well!

Lunchtime OTL was clicking away at the Soldier Beetles on the flowers, you know, they only come up to the flowers to mate but spend the rest of the year on the ground!

I'm getting tired of all this!

After the walk we headed off to do some deliveries and Holly and I had fun sticking our head out of the window and blowing raspberries at all the other cars, especially when we're waiting at the traffic lights!

So, no swimming today so I stayed as dry as Archie Babe and Sis Holly!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Soggy Sunday!

Hi Woofers!

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

We were out this morning and just for a change, it was raining!

Not buckets of rain but enough to make us all wet, even Old Two Legs!

We didn't hang about too much but by the time we got back to the car we in need of a good rub down with our towel!

It didn't help that the ferrets were chasing along behind us and Bro Brambles kept telling Holly to 'Gets a Move On Sis!'

Holly was not happy about that but decided to leave it 'cos she wanted to get back to the car and get dry!

They're behind us again aren't they?

 Lunchtime we were out in the sun shine and of course, I was in swimming. Holly called out, from well up the beach, 'Hey Look at That!'

That's what we should do to you!

 There, having a little splash about was this woofer who was being kept on a lead, a short lead and there, behind him was the TL up to his knees in the water!

I just don't believe it!

 We had a good laugh about it and I did some more swimming before heading back home so OTL could get his jobs done before The Missus comes back from her 'Glue Slapping'!

So, soggy start and a soggy finish, what could be better?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here.

A Hot Day Today!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here.

Phew! It has been warn down here in North Kent, started this morning when Old Two Legs was complaining about it being warm enough to fry your brain!

I think his brain got a bit frazzled 'cos he forgot to put the memory card in the camera and spent some time trying to work out why the camera wouldn't work!

We on the other paw, we put it down to his age!

That can further be proved by the fact that at lunchtime we went off for our walk and he grabbed the camera but when we go to the beach he found he had got the Infrared Camera that had been left set up on Black & White!

You know, if we didn't know better, we say he was going La-La!

Let's face it, who would take a picture of a Poo Bin?

The Grain Poo Bin!

OTL isn't the only one it seems, this Two Legs had cast out the worm but was sitting right up the top of the beach!

Where is the sea?

I headed straight for the sea while OTL sorted out a stick for us to play 'Fetch' with!

Now, because the tide wasn't fully in, that means that it was still shallow enough for me to get a lick on before my paws came off the sea bed!

Look at Me! Zooming like a Bozo Woofer!

Holly could not be tempted to even wet her paws, she was staying well up the beach and on the dry warm pebbles!

Just What is She Like?

We had a great time, me swimming and Holly sun bathing and OTL getting wet from me shaking water all over him!

We stopped off at the bench and I rested on top trying to get a bit drier!

A Damp and Soggy Doggy!

 Holly stayed on the ground, in the shade, and laughed at me for being all wet and soggy!

I may be warm but I'm dry!

 Back home we had a snooze until OTL had to go and collect The Missus from the village hall after her crop.

Tonight OTL is going to have a Kofti Kebab, so we are looking for some good muggings tonight!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here.

Brambles Birthday Today!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here.

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Bro Brambles,
Happy Birthday to You!

Brambles is around 6-7 years old this year and he came to live with us two years ago today!

So, we decided that the 17th July is his birthday!

He got loads of treats, his Malt Paste Ferret Bits of which he made a bit of a pig of himself!

Then he got to have first dip into the Doggy Biscuits, which he just loves!

And of course, he got first licks of the Ferretone and a cuddle with Old Two Legs!

I Love Cuddles!

Then he gets and extra 'Birthday' slurp of Ferretone, after which he rolls onto his back and stretches out on OTL's lap and licks his chops while OTL tickles his tummy!

Oh! This is Fun!

 Down on the beach, the lads all stopped and sang 'Happy Birthday' to Brambles!

'Happy Birthday Toooooooo Yoooooo!'

On the beach we thought we had come across a Big Monster, so Holly and I went off to woof it away from the ferrets.

Snowflake stayed behind her favourite rock and watched us do 'The Business'!

Just look at those Brave Woofers!

As we got closer to The Monster we saw it was three balloons tied together and the wind was blowing the balloons along the beach towards us!

Well, it looked like a Monster!

Bro Brambles said we were 'Brave Woofers' for going off to sort out the 'Monster', even if they were nothing but gas!

Bramble found his rock that Holly tried to bury yesterday and he had fun digging out again!

Up you come my beauty!

Now, we had sort of arranged for a 'Meeting' between Brambles, Snowflake and Miss April and Miss May.

We were about to set off when we got a phone call to say that April and May had come into season and a meeting would not be a 'True' meeting.

OTL said that if we put Brambles in the cage with them he would get the best Birthday Present ever! Miss Snowflake would possibly get the brush off!

So, after talking for a while it was agreed that the ferrets would be sent off to the vet to be 'Done', like wot Snowflake and Holly and I have been!

It will stop any problems in the future!

So, into the vets next week and then a two or three week recovery period and then it will be visiting time, around mid August!

OTL has ordered up the bits to put another level onto Snowy Heights to make it into a three level tower!

The top floor will be a sort of 'Games Room' and a 'Bolt Hole' for any ferret who wants some peace and quiet!

So, that's it for now, The Missus is out all weekend doing crops and Master Classes and we will have fun with OTL!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

New Ferrets got names!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, we have been busy little woofers today, rushing about helping Old Two Legs do his 'Manufacturing' and then out to deliver it all!

We started off on the beach having some fun with sniffs.

The ferrets had wandered up the beach and were investigating some dried sea weed which Brambles loves to rub on his tummy and help tone up his skin.

Holly and I began by sniffing the wet sea weed and around the rock pools. Holly says she found traces of 'Slimy Monsters' and I found traces of ferret poo!

Well it sniffs like ferret poo to me!

Holly wanted to play a trick on Bro Brambles 'cos he makes her call him Bro!'

Holly started off by pretending to 'Guard' Brambles Wee'ing Rocks. Then, after Brambles had gone after the dry sea weed she came up with a rather naughty trick!

Yep! I'll guard your rocks Bro!

Then, while Bro Brambles was busy, Holly says to me, 'OK, dig a big hole next to the rock'

Holly's idea was to bury the rock so that Brambles would think that a 'Slimy Monster' had pinched it!

OK, dig it deep while he's not looking!

Brambles was keeping his eye on Holly and wasn't fooled by her trick!

Back home we had a message from the Ferret Rescue Centre to say we should bring Brambles and Snowflake down to meet the new ferrets on Friday, so OTL has to make arrangements on Friday morning.

We also have found out their names and ages.

They are two years old and are called Miss April and Miss May!

Now, I don't know about you but OTL says that Miss April and Miss May sounds like a couple of Page Three Pullouts!

We, of course, have no idea what he is talking about but we are all getting excited about meeting them for the first time!

So, more news tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

Oh Dear! It's St Swithins Day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Now, did you know it is St Swithins Day today?

Well, you do now!

So the 'Lore' goes, if it rains on St Swithins Day then you will get rain for forty days and forty nights!

We are OK, it didn't rain at all down here but we are sure that there were some showers splashing about the UK today!

If you got rained on then I'd get out your brolly and don't put it down until the end of August!

We were lucky, no rain!

Old Two Legs over slept this morning, so that means we were all late in getting to the beach for our morning stroll.

Even the ferrets were asleep again by the time we got down there!

Are we there yet?

The tide was out so there was no swimming this morning but we did spot a Goats Beard in flower, the only one around, OTL reckons it could be the last one on our beach!

The last flower this year?

We were all a bit slow except Holly Dog who was calling out ' Come on Bro, get you Butt in Gear'

Yeah, I said Bro!

Brambles was dead chuffed she called him Bro, but wasn't too happy about her talking about his butt!

Back home to some snoozing and around lunchtime OTL called us to go out again. First it was delivering, then it was down to the school to do some adjustments on the radios and the off to the beach for a swim!

The tide was right is and of course I was in and swimming before those two had even got to the beach!

I Just LOVE a Cool Swim!

It was just super splashing about and fetching a small stick. Holly stayed on the Sea Wall and refused to come down to the water.

She said that St Swithins applied to getting wet from swimming as well as being rained on!

Dopey Dog will be wet for forty days now!

 I think she made that up and anyway, the sun was drying me off a treat!

Who's wet? Not Me!

 While we were out, OTL got a telephone call from our burglar alarm system saying that there was a fire at our house.

He called back to The Missus to check everything was OK and asked her if she was doing any cooking?

TM confirmed that there was no fire and warned him of Impending Doom if he made any more comments about her cooking!

That's telling him!

I'm off to see if there is anything we can mug!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

A Muggy Day but OTL finds the Soldier Beetles!

Yo Woofers!

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

Wot a Muggy Day it has been. We got up late because The Missus over slept. She blamed us because were 'Fidgeting' and kept her awake!

Us? Fidget? Never!

It was all her fault, talking in her sleep, bouncing up and down on the bed and calling out 'It's Behind You!'

Gawd knows what the dream was about, nothing to do with 'Crafting' I'm sure!

Of course, all that noise kept the ferrets awake as well, so they were late getting up as well!

Today they had their normal Lactose Free Milk and slurped it down as though they hadn't had it for years!

You see, TM forgot to get the milk when she did the shopping and Old Two Legs had to get some Soya Milk from the Co-op 'cos they had run out of Lactose Free Milk.

The ferrets were not happy, neither of them drank it, in fact, Mr Brambles kicked both bowls of Soya milk across the office and stomped off in disgust!

Today OTL had got their proper milk, so he was in their 'Good Book' today!

Down on the beach Bro Brambles found his favourite rock again 'cos the tide had gone out! 

Long time no see!

Miss Snowflake got out of the ferret bag and had a sniff and a wee but managed to creep back into the ferret bag while OTL wasn't looking, but she got in the wrong pocket and left her tail hanging out!

A right give away!

Can't see Me!

Back home it was Chicken, fresh out of the oven, just how we like it!

Then off for a snooze while OTL went out delivering.

Come lunchtime we were back down the beach and this time OTL was looking for insects on the plants.

First he found a Buff Tailed Bumblebee buzzing around the flowers.

Just Too Buzzy To Stop For A Chat!

Next we found a Solitary Bee that OTL thinks is a Colletes Halophilus, well that's what he thinks but to be honest, I wouldn't put any money on it!

A Colletes Halophilus?

Next he found a new crop of Soldier Beetles in a place where he had never found them in the past!

Now, you will be interested to know that they spend almost all of their time in the ground, except at mating time, and that is the only time OTL ever sees them.

And you can guess what they are doing!

It's Spring Time!

Holly and I were more interested in sniffs and we found one on a plant that was in the middle of the path, all on it's own, with nothing around it!

My! But was it an interesting sniff!

Now That is an Interesting Sniff!

Back home for more nibbles and a cuddle with OTL on the sofa 'cos he has decided to finish early and do some reading on ferrets. I wonder why!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

Racing Snails!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

It has been damp and soggy today, not a day for catching a few rays!

We were out first thing and it hasn't stopped raining for most of the day. Not a heavy rain but a steady trickle that gets you all damp around the tail!

We headed towards the beach and came across the rubbish bin where there was a couple of snails skidding around on top doing wheelies and hand brake turns!

Stirling Snail doing a Hand Brake Turn!

His mate Martin Schumacher, was busy doing wheelies around the notice someone had scribbled on top of the bin!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

It was amazing just how fast they can go once they got going!

We headed down to the beach and Snowflake was straight out onto the rocks to have her morning wee!

Mine! All Mine!

You could tell the ferrets were in a good mood, I got chased up the beach by them both and Brambles even had a go at chasing Old Two Legs up the grass path!!

Ferret, Hunting Dog!

 We headed back home and found that we had Doggy Scoff in our bowls, not the best nosh but it's OK if you are really hungry!

We weren't!

OTL has been busy today, working on the computer and getting rid of a big big pile paper that has grown on his desk!

We've been snoozing and sniffing at the Doggy Scoff and trying to look like we were starving!

Not sure what OTL has got for dinner tonight but if we are lucky, we may just get a nibble!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles

We let OTL out on his own!

Hi Woofers!

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

Not so hot today and there was a rain forecast so we were up early to get down to the beach before it got too wet!

Miss Snowflake was out on the Sea Weed having a sniff and a wee before heading back to the beach.

Just Sniff the Muddy Sea Weed!

 Of course, back on the beach, Snowflake decided that what she really wanted was a carry until we got to the grass path!

Come on, just a little carry?

 So, Miss Snowflake got picked up while we waited for Mr Brambles to have some fun playing with some dried sea weed.

I just Love a good Exfoliate!

 Snowflake said Brambles was a 'Total Embarrassment' !

I just can't take you anywhere!

 Back home we had some lambs heart waiting and after Old Two Legs had cleaned out the ferret cage we said Bye Bye to him 'cos we had agreed that he could go and do some photography on his own.

We have had a look at the pictures and we think they tell their own tale!

Where did he go first?

The Ferret Stand!

Ferret Racing to raise some funds!

 In the tent there were owners ready tell everyone about their ferrets and even let you handle them!

First Ferret Stroke!

 The racing was fun and was enjoyed by the crowd and the ferret!

Am I first?

 Of course, there is always one winner and it was the owners who seemed to more excited than the ferrets!

We Won!

 There were several races, singles and double ferrets down the same tube and even 'Reverse Track' which was also great fun!

That was Fun!

 The winners were put back in the cages to allow others a chance of winning, and of course, the owner had a bigger grin on their face than the ferret!

We Won! We Won!

 Then the ferret got shown to the crowd and even got some strokes as a reward!

Another first stroke!

 Roy was happy talking 'Ferret' to all who came into the tent!

............and of course, plenty of water!

The ferrets seemed to really enjoy being picked up and having their tummy tickled!

It's a hard life being cuddled!

OTL also had words about the two year old Jills that were up for adoption and on Friday OTL spent a long time 'Chatting' to them!

We think that OTL has fallen for them and subject to satisfactory introductions, we look like having to enlarging the ferret house, 'Snowy Towers' to a three level establishment!

More news when it comes!

OTL then went off to see what he could see, and photograph.

The Galloper's round a bout was all pretty with the lights on and if it was a bit darker he could have had some fun with blurring the lights!

But it wasn't, so he didn't!

Whizzing!

 Then OTL spotted a water bowl that he said had been set out, just for us!

Designed for Woofers!

 Old Two Legs risked all and headed into the Horticultural Tent to photograph flowers and Bonsai trees!

Now this one was good, like, can you see the Dragon?

Can you see it now?

 We just loved the side shows and OTL found one where there were a couple dancing to music that had words to it about there being 'Nobody here but us Chickens!'

Get out your Chickens!

So, that was it, back home to get ready for Monday and enjoy a last slurp of Single Malt with a nibble of Shortbread.

We of course will help him with the Shortbread!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.
