Another fun day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret are here!

We have had a fun day today. Holly and I got a teeth cleaning chew after breakfast and Holly decided to give hers to Old Two Legs to hide until we got back from our walk!

She is very trusting with OTL and her chews. I said she should give it to me to look after but she told me to Woof Off!

Down on the beach we went with May and April who were having fun digging in the sand again.

We had just started when Polly Dog arrived and sat down to watch the ferrets.

Now she is absolutely besotted with May and April and even put 'A Ferret' on her Christmas List but got a Rubber Bone and a new lead instead! 

They are so sweet!

Back home Holly didn't rush in to see what The Missus had prepared for our mid morning snack, instead she went off to get the chew OTL had put in a safe place for her!

So, the morning was full of invoices and counting stock and generally messing about, well OTL was, Holly and I just went to sleep on our cushions!

Lunchtime it was back down the beach. The weather wasn't up to much and the sun was hiding for most of the time but Holly tried to catch some rays while Wendy was investigating a plastic cup that had contained some funny sniffy stuff. Holly, being such a clever knickers, said that it once contained beer, a silly drink that the Two Legs brought down to the beach to drink instead of fresh water!

Yeah, it's called beer and it gives you the wind!

Freddy wanted to have a sniff but Wendy wouldn't let him get too near, you know what a silly ferret he can be sometimes and Wendy reckons he would want to take the plastic cup home with him!

OTL was playing around with the shower and the heating system and filling a bucket up with water to check on air bubbles or summat. Freddy just couldn't keep away, every time OTL threw him out of the bathroom, back he would come and in the end OTL let him loose in the shower, just to teach him a lesson!

What's in the Bucket?
Freddy got a good towelling down to get him dry again!

You can tell that ferrets are related to otters!

Mind you, not all ferrets like water or are as daft as Freddy Boy!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy, and a Soggy ferret called Freddy!

Sand Castles R Us!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!

It's been another super day here in North Kent. We had to stay clear of any poo we might come across but after yesterdays fun and games we decided that getting washed all over just wasn't for us!

Breakfast was fun, Little Miss Wendy was charging about all over the place. She had got the pickle in her and was chasing not only Freddy but she chased Old Two Legs as well!

The only time she stopped was when she found out that there was some Ferretone leaking out of the bottle and of course, she just had to stop and clear it up!

I like clearing up Ferretone!

 I think she was being a bit crafty 'cos she kept running past the bottle and giving it a push so a few more drips ran out and of course, she just had to stop and clear it up again!

Oh dear! Another couple of drips have come out!

That Miss Wendy is getting a right sneaky ferret!

Down on the beach we found some sandcastles that had been made by some young Two Legs. Miss May had a great time running around the castle and making a moat around the outside!

Ooops! I got dizzy and fell over!

April was digging a hole and having a great time getting sand all over her head as she stuck her nose into the sand and played 'Bulldozers'!

April playing Bulldozers!

OTL had to go out to see one of his customers so Holly and I stayed on the bed enjoying a well deserved snooze!

The Missus took us out for a quick 'Wee Walk' in the fields behind the house and we spotted loads of butterflies amongst the rape plants that had come into bloom.

When OTL got back we went out again and the ferrets came along as well.

We showed Freddy where the sandcastles were and I rolled over one and flattened all the shells and a stick that was sticking out the top!

Look! I'm a castle crusher!

Freddy said I was a 'Hooligan' and he would tell OTL and get me in trouble! Poor Freddy, he does like his 'Ancient Monuments'!

Come on! I've left this one for you!

Down on the beach we had Two Legs stop to look at the ferrets and there were all the normal questions, like, do they bite?

Yes, but only when they are eating!

Do they smell?

No, not unless you upset them!

Can I stroke them?

Yes, but take your gloves off first!

There was one mother who had seen us all before but today she had brought her daughter down today just to show her what a ferret is!

Back home to a snooze before mugging OTL for some nibbles!

Did you read how Archie Babe banged his head again? Wot a Plonker! After us telling him not to waggle his head about, what does he do? Waggle his head!

Holly says that he deserves to be kept out of the bedroom if only for self preservation!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

In the Poo, again!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret here again!

Wot a fun day it has been!

It started this morning when we got to the beach, just after the sun got up but it was hidden behind some clouds.

Looks like it could be a good day!

April was full of it and had a great time digging holes on the beach.

I'd prefer it if it was dry!

Holly and I found a buried sniff that had great promise but OTL wouldn't let us excavate it and he insisted we leave it alone!

Spoil sport!

Hey! There's a Serious Sniff here!

It was great to get on the beach and roll around in the Sea Kale and some doggy sniffing stuff!

We had loads of sun shine, loads of digging on the beach and....................loads of poo!

Just wot a woofer wants in life!

It started off this morning when Old Two Legs noticed I had 'The Grubby Butt' after a runny poo caused by some rabbit droppings I had nibbled on on Monday!

You know, a typical Woofer thing!

Well, when we got back to the car he had to attend to my backside in case I sat on his seat!

Needless to say, I got a good wash when we got home and ended up with a Soggy Butt!

They do find some really smelly sniffs!

 May wasn't impressed 'cos she wanted Ferret Sniffs and they were found on the Grass Path!

Just for a change, we had some Lambs Heart instead of Doggy Scoff and both Holly and I settled down to a good snooze. We were wondering how long it will be before OTL came back from a job he had to do at one of his customers.

Finally he arrived and we were off as soon as he put his brief case down!

Now, in the rush to get down the beach, Miss Wendy didn't go to the loo before we left and while cuddled up with Freddy in OTL's arms, she got 'Caught Short and pooed down the front of OTL's jacket!

OTL had to use his hankie to not only wipe the poo off his jacket but he had to give her butt a wipe as well!

So, that was OTL in the poo and Wendy in the poo and then I found a big pile of really smelly poo and, yes, I had a roll!

So, that was me in the poo as well!

Back home, OTL's coat went straight in the washing machine together with his hankie and then his trousers 'cos they had been 'Splashed'!

Freddy said that he reckons Wendy should go in the machine as well but OTL said that was not going to happen!

I got washed, I got washed from the tip of my tail to the tip of my nose  and I was soggy all over. Soapy water was dripping off my nose, my tummy and my tail!

In the end I was sniffing like a real Tart and after being dried I got chased around the house by Holly who thought it great fun to tell me off for getting caught!

So, here we are, clean, washed and smelly!

Now, wot a plonker Archie Babe is, I mean, have a dig by all means but just mind where you put you head!

We hope it has stopped hurting and you have learnt a lesson, don't waggle your head when digging!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

I Love Mondays!

Hi Woofers!

It's us! Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and The Famous Freddy de Ferret!

Monday mornings we get a chance to chase a rabbit or six! Today, Holly went off sniffing at the sign post, so I had plenty of time to do my 'Sneaky' attack!

This is where I stand still and pretend to be a bush or a plant or maybe a bench!

Steady Girl, Steady!

Of course, Silly Knickers Holly has to come and spoil it by rushing past me woofing her tail off!

Silly Knickers Spoils It!

Down on the beach May and April were having fun digging holes and rolling in the Sea Kale. I really don't know what it is they love about the stuff 'cos it still sniffs of cabbage to me!

Oooooooo! This is Soooooo Goooooood!

Miss May had been playing with the small bunch of Sea Kale. The last tide it was a rather high 'Spring Tide' that had washed right up the beach and nearly washed away the Sea Kale.

May was doing her thing but in a moment of sheer joy, she fell out of the Sea Kale and rolled down the ledge of Cockle Shells!

OK, Who Did That?

We headed home to find The Missus had cooked us some chicken which Holly and set about straight away!

To finish it off we both got a treat of a Teeth Cleaning Chew each!

I took mine up to Old Two Legs office and would you believe that Freddy tried to get a taste of it!

Fat chance!

Lunchtime Freddy and Wendy were down the beach with us and having a great time digging holes. At one point we could hear him shouting down the hole!

Oi! Can you lot hear me?

Holly asked who he was calling and he replied 'The Aussies'!

Some hope! They were all in bed!

Holly and I had a great time doing a 'Dash and Whizz' up and down the beach!

Catch me if you can!

Miss Wendy was shifting some sand when Freddy came up for a sniff and was told that the sniff was more than likely 'Woofer Wee!'

Watch it, you'll get it up your nose!

Back home OTL has been playing on the computer getting some invoices out to his customers, just so they won't forget to pay him some money so he can buy us our chews!

All the ferrets have got a liking for our chews and Freddy is the biggest fan of them. I've seen him sitting in his bed with the chew in his claws gnawing away and with a big grin on his chops!

I remember that Archie Babe pinched Holly's chew when he was last down here! Holly tried to hide it but Archie was just too quick for her!

We hear that Archie Babe is managing to get rid of his itchy bits! Holly says it is divine retribution 'cos he nicked her chew!

Keep yer tail up Archie Babe and you can have half of my chew the next time you visit, that is HALF not all of it!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

Sun Shine and April goes Walkies!

Hi Woofers!

Us again! Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!

We were up early today,we had to, The Missus was snoring her tail off!

You know, I didn't think that Double Glazing windows weren't supposed to rattle!

They obviously haven't come across TM before!

Old Two Legs has even got a man to visit to re-hang the doors and windows to see if that will stop them rattling when TM is in 'Full Song'!

April decided that she was well enough to come on the walk this morning and it may have something to do with OTL increasing slightly, her dose of Diuretic as suggested by the vet. What ever it was, she has a little more sparkle to her tail now!

I love making a mess!

 While we were down there we met up with Bailey, Max and Oscar. Then we spotted Barney II coming up from the beach and he had to show us just how much sand he had got in his coat by rolling in the dry sand!

Hey Girls! Get a Load of This!

 On our way back from the beach we bumped into Bert and of course Holly did what she normally does and wound up Bert something rotten!

Come On! Catch me if you can!

 It was then that April, from the safety of the ferret bag, suggested we change Holly's name to .........

Holly de Tart!

Back home we got given some 'Free Sample' Doggy Scoff that came through the post. No, I don't know how they know where we live or how many woofers there are here but these two packets landed on the mat.

Now, just when are you Two Legs going to get it? I mean, Doggy Scoff is Doggy Scoff and it doesn't matter what packet of tin you put it in, it's still DOGGY SCOFF and IT TASTES YUK!

I didn't eat mine and Holly has only had a couple of nibbles.

Lunchtime arrived and off we went again. Holly said that the TL's would be gathering around the cafe so with a bit of luck we might get a nibble or two!

However, just in case, can she take her chew with her?

Pleeeese, Can I take it with me?

No such luck, and what is worse, everyone was sitting in their cars eating and wouldn't answer the woof at the door, no matter how loudly Holly woofed!

It was low tide and there was no one on the beach, which means fun for us all!

Freddy went in for some digging while Holly and I set about the sniffs. Little Wendy was diving in and out of the Sea Kale and calling out 'Look At Me'!

Look! Hide a Ferret!

 Back home Freddy and Wendy finished off the Doggy Teeth Cleaning Chew OTL had slipped them this morning while Holly and I weren't looking!

Sneaky OTL!

Holly and I went off to find a window where the sun was shining through so we could have a snooze before diner time!

That Doggy Scoff is still there, Holly has decided it is horrid and The Missus is trying to poison us!

I think we will just waste away!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!

A Day of Sniffs!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and not forgetting Freddy de Ferret are here again!

Old Two Legs was up very early this morning, he had loads of stuff to do before we went out, like clean the ferrets cages as well as have breakfast!

You see it is one of those 'Master Class Days' and The Missus wanted the little car to get all the stuff up the hall and OTL was instructed to collect a couple of 'Students' from the railway station in Strood just before nine!

We decided to leave May and April in bed after they had their run around. Well, it was not really a run around. April had a wander about after her medications and ended up in one of the drawers where she sort of fell asleep!

May on the other paw was trying to start a war with Wendy through the bars of Wendy's cage. Now Silly Wendy got caught by May through the bars who was hanging onto the back of her neck with her teeth!

OTL had to prise them apart and May ended up in the 'Naughty Cage' before being put back in her clean cage, where she then set about kicking the bedding all over the place!

So, there was OTL, on his knees, inside Wendy's cage, clearing up the nights evidence when there was a big kerfuffle over at May's cage.

There was Wendy and May having 'Tooth Fencing Warfare' through the cage bars!

Now it was Wendy's turn for the 'Naughty Cage'!

OTL was having no nonsense this morning, he had too much to do!

Off we went down to the beach, in the big car and as May and April were at home, we had a chance to chase a rabbit or two and hunt some sniffs!

Yellow Filter?

The clouds were rather dark and OTL reckoned that it may have a been a good idea to bring the Yellow Filter, but he didn't so we have a 'coloured' photo that looks more like a Mono picture!

While OTL was trying to be 'Artistic' Holly and I were investigating the remains of a fire that someone had been burning last night. Looking at the bits of rubbish left there we decided  it was some fishermen 'cos there were strips of fishy sniffing stuff they use instead of worms! Mind you, we prefer worms cos' they are better to roll in!

Sniffs Fishy to Me!

Back home Holly and I had some Lambs Heart while OTL went off to do his 'Taxi' job!

Of course, after a big bowl of food all Holly and I were interested in doing was sleeping!

Lunchtime both Freddy and Wendy were awake and waiting to go out for a run. Down on the beach it was still cloudy but now there was a little rain in the air. That means OTL's camera was getting wet every time he got it out of his pocket to take a picture!

Yuk! Now it's raining!

Both ferrets decided the best place to be is in the ferret bag and the chased OTL along the beach!

Spot the rain drops!

Wendy decided to have a good roll in the Sea Kale while we were waiting for Freddy to finish sniffing at something under the sea weed!

This is Greaaaat!

Back home we watched some TV while OTL was reading the 'Ferret Book' for some advice on Ear Mites. Wendy is showing evidence in her ears of mite infestation. There is more ear wax than normal even after three days of washing! So, OTL has put some powder in her ears which was first sold back in 1907!

It seems to be working and OTL will be giving her ears another wash on Sunday. All the other ferrets seem to be clear at the moment but they all had a dusting, just in case!

Tonight OTL has got curry, so not much mugging for us except a bit of soggy Nan Bread!

April seems a little brighter today and has been taking her meds and even managed a little game with OTL, so, claws crossed!

Tonight we have been promised the first dose of Anti Tick stuff, so that means that the Scottish Holiday is about a month away!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

The Weekend is here!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and the Fabulous Freddy de Ferret are here again!

OK, I know it's Friday and the weekend hasn't officially started but it just feels like it!

We still haven't got the cameras back from the mender but Old Two Legs reckons to get them tonight.

This morning we were out with May and April and OTL noticed that April just wasn't herself. She is normally fighting May and pinching the food May tries to stash away but this morning all she wanted to do was go to sleep in the drawer!

OTL took her with us down to the beach but she just wanted to get back in the bag, so OTL let her climb in and do the 'Walk' sitting in the ferret bag on OTL's hand and poking her head out the top so she can see what was going on!

Miss May was her normal 'Rush About' self and had great fun trying to trip Holly up by running between her legs and wrapping the lead around them!

It nearly worked!

Back home we got a visit from Auntie Sheila who we gave a big welcome lick on the nose! She had come to play 'Glue Slapping' with The Missus and generally make a mess with the glitter, as usual!

OTL had to go out and didn't expect to get back until late this after noon so we had to look forward to TM taking us across the Farm!

OTL got back just after four which was just as well 'cos he had taken the laptop to do some programming of radio stuff.

That means I don't have much time to get this blog up and running!

Mind you, it would have been worse if I had to do the pictures as well!

April is still sleeping, which is not too unusual for a ferret, but when OTL came in all she wanted was a cuddle, and a slurp of Ferretone!

We are hoping she will feel better tomorrow.

May is giving her cuddles in their bed and keeping an eye on her!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and not forgetting Freddy de Ferret!

A Little Splash of Fun!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret here!

It has been a bit of a damp day here in North Kent. It started this morning when Old Two Legs was putting us in the car ready to go on our morning walk. he had his 'Spring Jacket' on which is not water proof, wind proof but not water proof. So, what happened as he was settling us all down? Yep! It started to rain!

So, while we were waiting in the car, he rushed back indoors and changed his coat for a water proof one and to get his hat!

Off we went with our claws crossed that the rain would stop when we got to the beach and you know what?

It didn't!

Mind you it didn't get any worse so we all ran off looking for some sand to roll in!

OTL has taken his cameras down to the mender to get the CCD cleaned. It's the bit that the light hits and gets transformed into a picture in the camera. Changing the lens allows very small bits of dust to stick on the picture and as OTL says, 'There is only so much you can do with Photoshop'!

Well, that means that we don't have a camera for our use for two or three days!

OTL was thinking of taking the video camera but reckons that two woofers, two ferrets and a video camera was just too much!

April and May had some fun digging trenches while Holly and I went off in search of smelly sniffs!

Now, I have a funny to tell you all. Yesterday Holly and I got presented with a doggy biscuit in the shape of a bone. We do love these and when we bite into them they explode in a load of crumbs!

Now, our favourite place to eat them is on OTL's bed, well sort of IN as well as on top. In fact, I love to sit on his pillow and eat them and then hide it under the duvet so I can come back to it later.

OTL and The Missus don't like Holly and me doing things like this 'cos the crumbs sort of get pushed down under the duvet and spread out!

OTL gets into bed and says that it is like getting into a bed made of sand paper!

Out he gets turns on the light and spends the next half an hour grumbling at us while he and TM brush all the crumbs out of the bed!

You know what? They don't even save the crumbs so Holly and I can have a nibble before going to sleep!

We think it is going to be fun when the ferrets find the duvet and start stashing all the food they have pinched from our bowls and their food bowls and all the stuff they pinch from OTL's tool box as well!

Well, that's all for today, we are off to see what we can mug off OTL!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!

A Lazy Day.

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and of course, Freddy de Ferret!

Well, today we have been lazy, it started this morning when we decided not to wake Old Two Legs up until six thirty. Poor old duffer was all worn out by the running around yesterday!

Today there are no appointments, so he can carry on plonking away on the computer with no one to disturb him, except us of course!

Down on the beach this morning, I fancied a really good run so I told OTL to get the ball out!

He didn't have the ball with him, so, I gave him another option!

Throw the Woofin' camera!

Well, that didn't work!

May and April decided that instead of digging holes, they would have a bath in the Sea Kale plant that is still growing on the beach!

Better than a Wet Bath with Soap and Water!

Back home we had some Lambs Heart waiting for us!

Both Holly and I almost finished the whole bowl! Mind you, we left a few scraps for later on this evening, if we can wait that long!

OTL has been keeping an eye on the weather 'cos we are expecting rain. Using the computer we can see where the rain clouds are and with a little bit of luck, OTL works out when it is safe for us to go out at lunchtime!

Between the showers!

We had some fun winding Miss Wendy up! We told her that OTL just loves to see us all digging in the sand and to get on his good side we needed to throw some sand about!

She fell for it!

OK, OK, I'm digging!

After a while she stopped 'cos we were making so much noise giggling!

Wendy was not a Happy Ferret and said she would bite our tails off and use them for tooth picks!

OK, I'll get my own back, just wait and see!

The Postman arrived just after lunch, he had two parcels for The Missus which were full of Crafty Stuff which made her very happy!

OTL wasn't so pleased with his post.

He got three invoices and a Tax Return Form from the Inland Revenue!

That has made him grumpy 'cos as well as the VAT calculations, Income Tax Form really confuse him!

Poor Lad!

Not sure what is for dinner tonight but Holly and I reckon we will do some serious mugging, just to get a bit of nibbles to add to our Lambs Heart!

We reckon that we are lucky 'cos we don't have to go to the Poodle Parlour until later this month, so with a bit of luck it will be warmer than it is now!

Poor Archie Babe, Izzy and Hamish are all freezing, we reckon that is terribly cruel to have to get a hair cut this early in the year!

Right, we are off to see what is cooking!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!

We got visitors and OTL disappears, again!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!

We have had a great day today, well us woofers did but Old Two Legs has been dashing around like a Blue Tailed Fly!

It started off when we were out on our morning walk, OTL gets a panic phone call from one of his customers and has to dash off as soon as the ferrets cages had been cleaned!

While we on the beach May was dashing about all over the place and went hunting in the sea weed.

OTL said that she looked just like Snowflake did when she was hunting in the sea weed!

Could even be Snowflake!

 Before we headed back home Holly and I were sniffing out and interesting new sniffs for our visitors!

Here's an interesting one for our mates!

I found a really good one that was 'Super Smelly' and I was almost tempted to have a roll myself!

Oooo! This is SUPER!

 OTL disappeared to go and see his customer while Holly and I settled down to wait for our visitors.

Now, we have met Izzy before when she was down here a few months ago but we were expecting to see Hamish who lives at the same house. We also were looking forward to meeting Rizzo who lives just a bit down the coast from us. Now, she should be at home with the sniffs from North Kent!

Finally they arrived and off we went to the Sea Wall and we were off  'Sorting Sniffs' !

Just to the right is a real sweet stink!

 Down on the beach we had a great time investigating all the sniffs Holly and I had marked this morning. I was dead impressed with Rizzo who has a super sensitive nose and she even found a couple Holly and I missed!

Us on the beach checking the sniffs!

 Little Izzy was having fun chasing Holly and Hamish then running back to be picked up for a cuddle!

Cuddle Time!

 I tried to get everyone in for a swim but it was only me who likes water, all the other woofers didn't want to even get their paws wet!

I LOVE a good Splash!

 We found out that OTL had got home just before we did 'cos he had taken Freddy and Wendy out for a run on the beach. They haven't been out for a couple of days so they were in need of some fresh air!

Unfortunately he didn't take the camera so you have missed out of seeing Freddy surfing on the waves and Wendy playing Paw Ball!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and 'Super Surfer' Freddy de Ferret!
