The Morning After!

Hi Woofers!
 
Daisy, Holly, Miss May,Miss April, Fred & Wilma back again.

Phew! What a day again! We were up late this morning 'Cos we went to bed late last night, OTL's fault!

He wasn't really with it today. This morning he took us out but forgot to take his camera! Just goes to show you that he is getting too old for late nights!

The cage cleaning was a bit slower today so the ferrets got longer to play and May and April had a super game of 'Chase' in and out of a wiggly plastic tube that OTL had draped with blankets and cushion!

It is so funny to see May waggling her tail prior to dashing down the tube to catch April!

April is super fast up and down the tubes and May has to 'Ambush' her as she come out of one and before she goes into another tube!

Lunchtime Fred and Wilma were out with us and Fred was up to his tricks again. He doesn't mind going out for a walk but it is the walking bit he has yet to realise is the 'Enjoyment' bit!

Like when we got to the first bit of open grass. OTL put him and Wilma down. Wilma was off like a shot sniffing the sniffs and generally having a fine old time.

Fred on the other paw was doing the 'Gissa Lift' bit with OTL.

I've had a little walk, can I now have a little carry?

That was how it went on for most of the walk.

When we were down on the beach he even tried to get Holly to carry him on her back. Not that it was ever going to happen but you can see he is trying!

You must be Joking!

Now Freddy Boy is a trier and he is always looking for new reasons why he should get a carry.

Today's effort was a classic!

There we were, just strolling along, having a sniff, Freddy was there with us joining in with the sniffs when we heard him cry out, 'Ouch! Oh No!'

Of course we all turned around to see what had happened and there was Fred, flat on his back going 'Ow, Ow, OW!'

What is the matter Fred? we all said together and he replied, in between sobs, 'I'm deeply hurt'!

Oh it Hurts, it really hurts!

We all got closer and again asked where did it hurt!

Very slowly he raised his paw to the sky and in a trembling voice announced that............

Look! I've bruised my claw!........I really need a carry!

You know, he seemed really put out when we all laughed!

Mind you he did get a carry a bit later when we came across a couple of small Greyhound type of dog that OTL said could be Whippets. Both had muzzles on and when they got close to OTL one tried to lunge forward to get at Fred & Wilma. OTL had already picked up the ferrets and was cuddling them in his arms, so there was no danger and the dogs couldn't bite anything anyway!

I must admit, I didn't get too close either!

So, that is today's fun and as I am typing this, Fred is flat out on his back at the bottom of the cage fast asleep.

His favourite position!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May,Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

All behind like a Horses Bum!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May,Miss April, Fred & Wilma here.

First of all, it's not my fault, it is Old Two Legs not being very organised!

Let me explain!

Yesterday, we were out a bit later than normal 'cos OTL overslept by five minutes! He was rushing around getting all his jobs done in double quick time Rush Rush Rush! Which again is unusual!

Down on The Beach with May and April it was just the same, 

What's the Hurry?

May and April couldn't work out what the hurry was and they even had to cut short their rub in the Sea Kale!

All the rushing wasn't good for Holly Dog. She had the embarrassment of missing a sniff which May picked up on! 

This is Poppy Dog!

 Poor Holly, she said she would never live it down.

A ferret beating her at sniffing!

This is too much! I missed that one!

 Back home to the cage cleaning, that was done in double time as well! Poor ferrets didn't get their normal hour of rampaging around the house.

Then, before we knew it we were out again! Not that we minded but Holly said there was something sinister going on and we had better keep a close eye on OTL!

Fred and Wilma couldn't understand the rush either and kept asking why they should keep 'Getting a Move On'!

Rush Rush Rush!

 Poor Wilma didn't get long to play at Grass Sharks and Fred made the best of it and managed to get a carry almost all the way back!

Crafty or Wot!

Wilma Grass Shark!

 When we got back from our walk, the new Ferret Bag for Fred & Wilma had turned up, just in time for Christmas!

It looks dead smart and it is a bit bigger than the one for Brambles and Snowflake but the same size as May and Aprils!

The New Bag!

Before we knew it, OTL and The Missus were heading out of the door and saying Bye Bye to us 'cos OTL was off to the hospital to get his eye ball checked out after the operation.

OK, we didn't mind that but we were getting a bit worried when they hadn't arrived back by five thirty!

It was then that Auntie Sheila opened the front door and let Holly and I out in the garden for a wee!

She sat with us for a while and explained that after the hospital visit TM & OTL were off to the Pantomime and taking Tilly and Sassy (Grandchildren) along as well. We were a bit put out that they didn't allow woofers in the theatre but Sheila started telling us a story of Woofers in Wunderland and she finished off the story when she came back at nine for our second wee of the night!

We stayed up until eleven when TM & OTL arrived back.

So, that is our excuse and it's all TM & OTL's fault!

Especially as he didn't leave the computer switched on so I could have done this blog while we were waiting for them to come home!

Never mind, we will catch up with today's fun in a moment!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May,Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

OTL gets all 'Inventive'!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma here!

Wot wonderful weather we are having here in North Kent! Old Two Legs reckons that we are getting winds coming up from the Azores and they are bringing warm winds! Holly said that she thought The Azores were something that made your butt itch!

OTL told us where the Azores were and how they had nothing to do with your butt!


We were up at our normal time and down the beach to enjoy all the sniffs that have come in on the tide.

OTL was looking at the sky and saying that it was all 'Wishy Washy' and even a Yellow Filter wouldn't do anything to improve the sky.

'Wishy Washy' yeah, like do we care when we got sniffs?

Then, he comes up with an idea to make it all 'Dramatic'!

He took off his 'Activity' sun glasses that wrap around to prevent wind blowing in his eyes. He used these glasses when he was climbing mountains. He looks a bit of a Tart but they are working by keeping drafts away from his eye!

Anyway, back to his 'Inventive' idea.

He focused up on the clouds and then before he pressed the shutter release, he put the glasses in front of the lens and....................POW!

Inventive or Wot!

Looks OK to us, and he has even got some 'Soft Focus' as well!

Next, being well chuffed with his results he started to play with the EV, that is Exposure Value that you can darken the photo if it is too bright!

So, here it is with a -1.7EV

Another 'Inventive' shot!

While OTL was messing about with his camera Holly and I had fun with the sniffs, May and April spent all the time trying to get back into their bag!

It was back home to a Chicken & Biscuits followed by a snooze under OTL's desk!

We normally go out at lunchtime for another walk but Fred and Wilma sometimes misses out 'cos they are fast asleep. OTL, being crafty, has moved our walking time to eleven thirty, just before Fred and Wilma would have gone to bed!

That means they are wide awake and ready for a run and they get a daily exercise!

Freddy Boy is not the first in the queue when 'Exercise' is mentioned and he does his very best to get cuddles rather than jogging!

When he got put down onto the beach today he did raise a point of order and asked if walking on the sand 'Obligatory'!

Is this really obligatory!

Mind you, he may not like the sand but he did have a good roll in the Sea Kale and he even let Wilma to have the first go!

I love this wash!

OTL made sure that Fred walked most of the way back to the car although there were a couple of 'Cuddles' just to keep him going!

Wilma was having a great time trotting along and she even went back to lick Fred's ear to get him moving again!

Come on Fred, shift yer tail!

 OTL has been busy this afternoon doing some manufacturing and plonking away on the computer, well, it keeps him out of trouble!

That has been our day today, we hope you have been having fun as well and Archie Babe has managed to get out of the vets with nothing more than a cuddle.

We hope he doesn't have any trouble with The Azores!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

Freddy Boy gets a wet tum and there's more on the Poo Pot Progress.

Hello Woofers!

We are back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

Up late again today, I blame The Missus, you see she gets up in the middle of the night, bounces around on the bed as she gets up, wakes us all then proceeds to turn on every light in the house then zooms around on that jet powered carpet sweeper!

It's just not on!

We managed to get back to sleep but always oversleep!

Still, we were out first thing with May and April and while May enjoys a run in the wet grass, Miss April is all for hiding in her nice new fleece lined carry bag!

On the front of the bag is a super embroidered picture and their names!

Famous or Wot!

 We met The Lads and guess who wanted to come down onto the sand to play with May and April?

.....but I want to play 'Chase a Ferret'!

TM needed the car to go out at midday so we went out early for our lunchtime walk, which was a good idea as it turned out.

If we leave walking too late, Fred and Wilma go into a deep ferret type sleep and don't wake up when OTL gives them a tickle behind their ears!

Today we went out at eleven and Fred & Wilma were still wide awake and looking for fun!

The only thing they didn't reckon on was the fact that it was all wet and damp on the grass!

This is making my tummy soggy!

 Wilma is OK 'cos she can lift up her tummy and run but poor Freddy Boy has to drag his tummy over the wet grass, not good!

He can't wait until the new bag arrives 'cos it has Fred & Wilma's name is embroidered on the front as well as a picture of a ferret!

We have been promised that it will arrive before Christmas so they will have their own bag to snooze in!

Dead Posh!

Mind you, that didn't help Freddy today, he kept on complaining and OTL had to pick him up a couple of times just to dry his tummy and give him a cuddle!

I need another cuddle!

Back home May and April were deep in a 'Ferret Snooze' and after a little nibble, Fred and Wilma joined them in snoozing as only a ferret can.

Ferrets sleep for about eighteen hours a day and OTL reckons if he comes back, he is coming back as a ferret!

Holly and I are quite happy being woofers and we reckon we get as much snoozes as we need.

Holly says that she could do with a bit more on the food front but on the whole life as a woofer was acceptable!

Now, don't get too excited but Fred and Wilma seem to have almost got the idea of poo pots. The last couple of days has produced neat trays with all the poo at the back of the tray and even the wees have been soaked up by the cat litter!

Mind you, Holly and I reckon it it wouldn't easy for us to do it!

May and April on the other paw have got a thing about Poo Pot Kicking, they do it just to get attention from OTL!

Sneaky or wot!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

A Tooth Fairy for OTL?

Hi Woofers!

Us again! Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma!

We saw the sun today, well, we saw the sun behind the clouds but it was the sun!

It's the Sun!

It won't be long before the Winter Solstice and after that Summer will be on it's way!

We are looking forward to Summer 'cos it is then that we can go in swimming. Well, I can and we will have to wait until Fred and Wilma get their paws wet to see if they like it!

The Missus was up early today, making Christmas Cards, and does she make a lot of noise? It woke us all up and even Holly climbed up on the bed for a cuddle 'cos she thought it was whizz bangs!

After going back to sleep we ended up getting up late! Still, we were up too early on Sunday, so today makes up for the early start yesterday!

Down on the beach the tide was in but it looked too cold even for a paddle!

No Thanks, I'll wait for the warm weather!

 Now I know it wasn't blowing a gale but the surf looked a little menacing the way it was pounding up the beach and washing the Sea Wall!

No, we'll stay dry today thank you!

 Miss May and Miss April headed for the Sea Kale. It was a close thing but April very nearly got in first but was shoved out of the way by an excited Miss May!

Give me some room Sis!

Miss May way a little wary when she got to the top of the grass path, she said she could feel 'Pounding' through the earth. I said that it was just Holly waddling along and making a noise with her weight!

But no, May insisted there was something else.

I can feel the vibration through my paws!

 All of a sudden there was a crashing and a big 'Hellooooo Girlie's!' Barney was here!

Helloooooooooo!

We haven't seen Barney for ages but because we were late in getting up, we were in time for Barney who is always a bit later than us!

We had a chat and he gave Holly a kiss!

The Tart!

Kissy Kissy!

 Now, OTL had a sort of accident a couple of weeks ago when he tried to bite into a crusty roll. He managed to 'Bend' his front tooth, which was glued on top of a tooth that was only half there. It hurt and the dentist did some repairs, gave OTL some antibiotics and told him to come back later.

Well, today was the day to go back and see the dentist.

OTL doesn't like dentists, they normally cause him pain in the mouth and pain in his wallet, all at the same time!

In the end the tooth was stuck back again and the dentist warned him that his days of apples, crusty rolls and baguettes were over!

You know what? Even his shortbread will have to be broken up before it goes in his mouth. I of course, together with Holly, have volunteered to do the 'Breaking Up' bit!

When he came back we went out down the beach again but this time we left Fred and Wilma at home 'cos they had gone to sleep and just didn't want to wake up, until this evening that is!

On our way around the walk we met up with Dave the Westie, he looked so pleased to see us and of course, he was all over OTL!

Hi Girls!

 We are wondering what OTL has got for dinner tonight and Holly is expecting to help OTL get rid of the 'Tough Bits' where The Missus has been Caramelising again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

A Sunny Day!

Hello Woofers!

Us again! Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma!

We didn't get our extra half an hour in bed this morning, The Missus was doing her race around the house on the jet powered carpet sweeper and woke everyone up!

Miss May got really upset and was kicking her poo pot around the cage in protest!

We were out earlier than we are normally during the week!

As we were heading towards the car park, Holly was telling the ferrets how warm and sunny it was outside and how they would enjoy skipping through the grass chasing mouses and rats and slugs!

That was a bit cruel 'cos when we got there it looked horrid!

No sun, No Mouses, No Rats and No Slugs!

When Old Two Legs took the photo it wouldn't have made any difference if he had a Yellow Filter on the lens, no definition in the sky at all!

Not even a Yellow Filter............................!

On top of all that, there was rain in the air and it was landing on us all! OTL had his dark glasses on that have wraparound lenses that keep out the wind and his hat was pulled right down over his ears!

We didn't hang about too long, it was a case of 'Get on with It and Get Home'!

Come on, the car is this way!

Mind you, Mike and Sue are of no help, there they are, swanning off for a Christmas Holiday basking in sunshine and talking to American Woofers and they don't even send some of the sunshine our way! Michael is going to be in deep poo when he gets back, no sun shine, strange woofers and snowmen!

We had some success this morning, OTL cleaned the cage of Fred and Wilma and when he got to the poo pots, they were all neat and tidy and all the poo was in the pots and just a little wee on the floor!

May and April's cage looked like a war zone!

More Velcro please, says OTL!

We are not sure if that is the answer, Holly says a six inch bolt screwing the pot to the cage floor would be the best idea but OTL reckons that they would just rip the floor up!

Nipper was keeping quiet, he had just finished eating his poo pot, and the cat litter that OTL puts in to keep the sniff down!

OTL has just got some Chobham Armoured Plating to use instead of the half inch metal bars in his cage, but Nipper says 'Bring It On, I'm Ready'.

Looks like we have some fun tonight!

Lunchtime the weather had improved, the rain had lessened, but not by much!

Fred and Wilma came out and had a run on the beach, well, in Fred's case it was more like a 'Waddle'!

When we got down there we saw loads of Fishermen trying to teach their worms to swim, we're not too sure on how successful they were but all of them looked cold, the fishermen, not the worms!

Wot the................?

 Holly said that they were all Wormy Men really trying to put the worms back again!

Worm Chuckers out for a few hours!

 Now, you all know how big Fred is? You see, ferrets, well male ferrets, build up their bulk before the breeding season arrives and it's then that they do the 'Impressing the Jills' bit and they also have fights with the other males for the position of 'Chief Chatter Up' so he gets first go at any Jill that is getting all Maternal!

Now Fred has sort of lost his bits that make him a prime candidate for 'Daddy of the Year' and although he does the 'Putting on Bulk' bit, he doesn't really get any further than that!

It leaves our Fred with a bit of a problem, you see he would normally loose some 'Bulk' by having a punch up or two, but there is no one to fight and if there was, he wouldn't bother any way!

That means, Freddy Boy really is a bit of a Porker!

In his cage, Fred is a lovely cuddly ferret that you can cuddle up to and feel all warm and safe. However, when he is out for a walk, poor old Freddy suffers!

Although his is better than he used to be, he still suffers from tiredness when he tries to jog along side of us.

In the end he just stops and calls OTL to pick him up for a carry!

I need a lift, my paws are wearing out!

Wilma is much fitter than Fred, she sometimes races us down the hill and of course we let her win 'cos although we can run faster than her, our legs are much longer you see, but she needs to feel good about running so we don't mind loosing to her!

Back home we climbed onto our cushions and enjoyed a super snooze while OTL was doing some 'Work' on the computer.

Not sure what is for dinner tonight but we have no chance of getting it, you know we are being starved!

Mind you, Holly has been sneaky, you see, May and April pinch some biscuits and hide then behind the bookcase, then, Fred and Wilma pinch them and hid them under the stairs, after which, Holly Dog finds the biscuits and eats them!

Bang goes the diet until the ferrets find another place to hide the biscuits!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

A Day with Maisie!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma here!

It has been all go today. It started off with The Missus getting up early to get all her stuff up to the Village Hall ready for the Masterclass. As soon as she got back we were off to The Beach with Miss May and Miss April. It was a little chilly but both ferrets got out at the beach after travelling down there in their new bag!

The ferrets headed for the Sea Kale for a good rub down, Miss May was making a real pig of herself! It took ages for her to get out and give April a turn!

Yes, Yess, YESSSSSSSSSS!

 When April got into the Sea Kale she said that it was all flattened and bruised!

Tomorrow I'm in first!

We got home and Old Two Legs got busy with the ferret cages, Fred & Wilma had been very tidy and all the poo was in one tray!

Success!

Well, for last night anyway!

Unfortunately, we can't say the same for May and April. The Poo Pots had been tossed into the air and everything was all over the place! OTL says he is going to stick another couple of Velcro strips on the tray and see what happens! He managed to get it all finished in time.

Then we were off to pick up Maisie and then down to the beach again!

We showed her were the good sniffs were and she found some on her own then afterwards it was back for a snack and a snooze!

I say Girls, this one is a classic!

 We had an early lunchtime walk 'cos both Fred & Wilma were getting twitchy 'cos they haven't been out for a couple of days.

Wilma took to Maisie and shared some of her 'Ferret Sniffs' which Maisie said were 'Different'!

Mmmm, interesting, very interesting!

 Maisie said that although the ferret sniffs were interesting, they weren't really the sort of thing she would look out for!

I took her along to a 'Special Sniff' I had been saving and we both spent a good ten minutes picking it apart!

This is really worth taking your time over!

 We also met up with 'The Lads' out for their afternoon walk and we introduced Maisie to all of them including young Bryn who hadn't met Maisie before.

Hello Miss Maisie!

 We got back to the Village Hall just in time and Maisie was off with her Two Legs.

A little earlier, Old Two Legs had taken Fred and Wilma up to the Village Hall to say hello to the ladies who were 'Glue Slapping'.

Fred and Wilma were very well behaved and Fred even got his tummy tickled!

They met Izzy and Hamish's TL who had come down from the flooded north. She said that both Izzy and Hamish were OK and had kept their paws dry!

We are looking forward to tomorrow 'cos we get an extra half an hour in bed!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

Busy Busy Day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma here!

Today has been boring, like there has been nothing to do except wathc Old Two Legs messing about with bits of wire! You know what? He didn't even get the camera out to try to get some pictures of us all for the Christmas Card!

Holly and I had some Chicken and Biscuits for breakfast and we both finished it off in one go. Holly was saying that the diet she is on has worked and she should now have as much food as she wished. The Missus said that not only is Holly staying on the diet but if she shows off she will be on Short Rations!

Holly is not a Happy Puppy!

OTL has been so busy that we got taken out by The Missus, now we are very pleased we get out for a walk but TM doesn't join in when we chase rabbits and she doesn't play 'Hide & Seek' like OTL does!

Lunchtime we went out without OTL and Holly and I were having fun fighting over our seat in the car, I won, Holly was showing off 'cos she missed out on the comfortable seat and she had to sit on the hard back of the rear seats!

This afternoon has been just as boring, OTL working and TM 'Experimenting' with some chemicals and her cards stuff.

There are some funny sniffs coming from her work table and Holly reckons that one day she will blow it up with all the stuff she mixes up together!

We are off now to show off some more 'cos OTL and TM won't let us have any of their dinner. Maybe they are slimming!

Sorry about no pictures, blame TM for that!

It's good to hear that Michael and Sue are having fun in the U.S.A. and we are looking forward to seeing Michael's blog with some pictures!

See you tomorrow when we got Maisie staying with us while her Mum attends TM's Master Class!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

Thursday and OTL is Working again!

Hello Woofers!

Were back again! Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

Well what a day! Holly and I had a 'Disagreement' this morning on who gets first choice of the warm bit of the bed when Old Two Legs stumbles off to have a shower.

I won!

Holly got the sulks and jumped off the bed and went to sleep on our cushions!

Mind you, all that woofing woke Fred & Wilma and they got a cuddle and a slurp of Ferretone from OTL when he had got dressed!

The Page 3 Girls stayed asleep, they only wake up when they hear OTL coming up the stairs with his breakfast and their Lactose Free Milk, and of course, OTL is 'Dooking' like a ferret on the way up the stairs. All of the ferrets think it is hilarious but won't tell him he sounds like a plonker!

Well, it keeps him happy!

The walk this morning was fun, OTL was trying to get all 'Arty' with the mud banks and the water channels. We are not sure he really captured the essence of the mud bank but at least he tried!

Maybe a Yellow Filter and B&W next time?

Miss May and Miss April were dumped onto the sand while OTL was playing 'Mud Banks' and it took them a little while before they got moving. Getting out of a nice warm bag and getting dumped onto wet sand is not the way to wake up in the morning!

When the Summer comes it will be much warmer, I think!

Miss May called me over and together we discussed a sniff that I thought was a dead crab while she thought it was some Sea Gull Poo!

Mmm, not enough fishy sniff for a gull and sort of misses out on the crab sniff!

In the end I had a roll in it and Holly said it sniffed like a bit of Fox Poo!

Both ferrets got up the beach and dived into the plant, we think is Sea Kale. The were biting the stems and then rubbing themselves all over the plant. I must say I didn't think much of the sniff myself but it certainly does something to those ferrets!

This Is Sooooooooooo Goooood!

Holly and I continued up the grass path and investigated a sniff we weren't to sure about, Holly reckons it was Weasel while I thought is was Old Ferret. Neither of the girls could help us out 'cos they said it was the first time they had come across this particular sniff.

There can't be More Ferrets along here!

Holly has always been a bit of a worrier and when we are out walking with OTL she doesn't get too worried if we loose sight of him for a while but when The Missus came out with us, 'cos OTL's eye is still mending, Holly was forever stopping to let TM catch up.

Today it was terrible 'cos she was spending more time plonking away on her phone chatting on Face-Ache!

It got a bit much when she just stood in the middle of the path while we were waiting for her to open up the car!

What Is she doing Now?

Even when Holly did her 'Shift Yer Tail' woof TM didn't even know what Holly was on about!

Back home OTL has been playing at 'Manufacturing' this afternoon so we have had to amused ourselves. I have been pinching Holly's carrot and Holly has been pinching it back and hiding it under her cushion!

OTL said we should get going on the Christmas Card Photo but the ferrets said that it wasn't right to wake them up when they are having their snooze. I mean, a Ferret Snooze lasts for about eighteen hours!

So, maybe tomorrow, if they are awake!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

No Photos Today

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.

Now, you know we are supposed to be having our photo taken for the Christmas Card? Well, I'm sorry to say, it has not worked out today. First of all Nipper refused to come out of his High Security Cage and spent all day gnawing on the metal bars because he says he doesn't get enough iron in his diet!

Holly has not been feeling to well 'cos she has been eating grass and that has given her a Grumbly Tum, in fact she hasn't eaten any of her Chicken & Rice and instead she has retired to her cushion to 'Rest'!

Miss May has been in trouble with Old Two Legs 'cos she has been fighting with Wilma, through the cage bars, so she got put in the 'Naughty Cage' with a blanket hung over the door so she can't see what is going on. Needless to say, when it came to photographs, she refused to sit still and kept on running away.

Miss April got a little upset and ran behind the bookcase and refused to come out until she had at least an hours snooze!

Fred didn't mind his picture being taken but Wilma had sunk her teeth into OTL's hand and was in the naughty cage as well, but not at the same time as May!

So in the end OTL said that he was going to by some cards from the Charity Shop sign them and not put our names on them!

So you see, we are sort of in the 'Dog House'!

It was bright and sunny this morning down on the beach, not a rain cloud to be seen

No sign of rain!

There were no waves crashing onto the shore, in fact it was very still in the water, so much so that OTL tried to get a picture of the reflections but it didn't turn out very well and the sun was too high in the sky to give and colour too the water!

Average!

Back home OTL announced that the Poo Pot Saga was making headway. You see, OTL had worked out that Fred didn't like climbing over the edges of the poo pot when he wanted a wee 'cos the top edge scraped on his tummy and other stuff. So, with a saw, a file and a gas torch he re-engineered a pot with just a small lip. This was OK but the edges were still a bit rough, even after sanding them down, so, yesterday he purchased some letter trays that had walls on three sides and nothing on the front side. Fred has been seen using this tray for pooing but we still have a problem when he wants a wee, OTL thinks the tray isn't big enough!

OTL thought it might be a good idea to try it out on May and April 'cos they just love to kick their poo pots up into the air and around the cage, scattering the contents all over the place, then they go for a poo and wee on the cage floor!

OTL has tried to Velcro the trays to the floor but that didn't last too long, so, with the letter tray he has stuck some Velcro onto the wall at the back and side to the cage tray and on the back and side of the letter tray. OTL reckons that would sort out May and April.

After cleaning their cage and installing the newly Velcro'ed  Poo Pots, he put May in the cage while he went to get April out from behind the bookcase. When he came back, the poo pots were on their back and all the cat litter was scattered around the cage and some even got as far as the office floor!

Back to the drawing board!

Our lunchtime walk was great, Holly was still eating grass, she will never learn!

Wilma was running along the shore and telling us that the sand was 'All Soggy'!

It gets all in between your claws!

 Fred was playing 'Bulldozers' in the sand and he was making a good job of it as well!

This is how it's done!

Both Fred & Wilma found the sniffy plant and again and had a roll in the leaves. Holly and I can't work out just what bit of the sniff turns them on but you know what ferrets are like with their sniffs!

You just don't know what you are missing!

Back home to a snooze and Holly still hasn't touched her Chicken & Rice, so, if she hasn't touched by this evening, I might just help her out!

OK on Archie Babe getting the itches, Holly sometimes gets an itchy butt and loves to rub it on the ground, the only problem is, it normally coincides with a Grumbly Tum so she sort of spreads everything all over her butt and OTL then has to spend ages cleaning her with Wet Wipes before she is allowed to get in the car!

It's fun being a Woofer!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.
