Sunshine and Gutters!

Hi Woofers!

It's us back again!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and of course the Wunderful Freddy de Ferret!

It has been one of those busy but fun days.

It started off with Old Two Legs reading the instructions on his new all singing and dancing weather machine. Seems it tells all about the weather where we live!

It tells you wind direction, rain fall, UV Index, barometric pressure, Sunrise, sunset, moon phase, dew point, outdoor and indoor temperature and humidity, wind chill and wind speed and, well it goes on for ages listing all the stuff.

Us woofers just stick our noses out of the door and can tell straight away if it is raining or cold!

This thing uploads all manner of details onto the internetty thing and if you Google 'Wunderground' and then search for Allhallows or IALLHALL2, you can see our contribution to the worlds weather forecasting!

Mind you, we really didn't need it this morning 'cos when we looked out of the door it was sunny!

It's sunny down on the beach as well!
Miss May tried taking the Micky out of OTL by sticking her head into the Sea Kale and saying that it was 'Poor Visibility'!

Can't see my paw in front of my whiskers!
Back home OTL got all busy. You see he has been promising  for some time to clean the gutters and get rid of all the moss that had blocked the gutter. So, there he was, hanging onto the top of the ladder scraping the moss and stuff out and putting it into the rubbish bin!

By the time he had done that and cleaned the ferret cages out, it was time to take Freddy and Wendy out for their lunchtime run.

They both had a game of 'Chase' on the beach and then dug a few holes!

Hot work this 'Dig and Whizz'!
 When we got back to the car we all had a drink of cool water and of course Miss Wendy just had to crack a funny!

I said 'Stired not Shaken and where is the ice cubes?'
We are all getting ready for the holiday now. OTL is getting his camera gear ready and The Missus is loading up her cardy stuff, the ferrets are storing food in their travelling cage while Holly and I are trying to find the Chicken Fillets!

Let's hope Archie Babe had a gentle wash down at the parlour, I mean, it wouldn't do to get too wet!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Misty or Wot!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it has been a misty day today, the rain has gone and all we are left with was a bank of mist that hung around for most of the day!

That made the sea look like it had run away 'cos we couldn't see it until we got onto the beach!

I don't know, it was there yesterday!
 Once we were onto the beach we discovered that other things had disappeared, like Southend!


Now where has it gone?
 Not that it worried the ferrets 'cos they can't see things at a distance so all they are worried about is what is within ten feet!

Wot Sea?
 Miss May found a large lump of wood that had washed ashore. She was investigating it and wondering if she could turn it into a surf board!


I could be a 'Surfin Ferret!'
 Back home Old Two Legs got to work cleaning the cages and May went on a rampage around the house. One thing she loves is to run across the computer keyboard and get the Windows all confused!

Another thing she loves to do is to order loads of stuff on line and scare poor OTL!

This one is for stamps, right?
 Lunchtime we were out with Wendy and Freddy. Now, you know that OTL likes to take pictures of us and to get a good one he has to be down at our level, which is a bit difficult with the ferrets! Another thing is, as soon as he gets down to their level, they think he is offering to pick them up and give them a lift in the ferret bag!

So, OTL has to be sneaky but the ferrets are quick to realise what is happening and as soon as his knees start to bend, they come running!

Here's Freddy!
Now then, what a lucky pair Izzy and Hamish are, a new woofer in the household! We will be expecting loads of pictures of Bella and her Black Spot!

I don't think we need any more woofers here, four ferrets are enough for us!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

The Weather Man says Changeable!


Hi Woofers!

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

Yesterday was great, sunshine and more sunshine, today?

Rain!

Miss May got soaking wet 'cos she just loves the wet grass. April stayed in the ferret bag and kept warm and dry!

Holly and I got wet!

Lunchtime was just as bad.

Rain.

Both Freddy and Wendy got wet, so did Holly and I!

Old Two Legs got wet as well!

Not the best day we've had this week!

Tomorrow it will be better, or else!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Poor Freddy is falling to bits!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret (Mr Falling to Bits!)

Well, today has been fun, I mean, loads of laughs all around!

It started with Old Two Legs telling us about his course on Tilt/Shift lens and how to use them!

We had a look at the pictures he took and really, we didn't understand what he was talking about!

There was one picture we thought was funny, we have decided to call it 'Lamb at Full Tilt!'

Full Tilt!
Miss April was doing well again this morning and managed to get all the way back to the car without being picked up! OTL says that she is showing signs of improvement and on top of that, her sore paw is going down in size and we reckon it will be back to normal before we go on holiday!

Holly and I had a great game of 'Dig and Whizz' while Miss May was sniffing through all the sea weed!

Can't Catch Me!
Lunchtime was fun as well, the tide was almost in and I managed to get a tiddly bit wet!

OTL found a stick and threw it into the water for me to get. Now it wasn't too deep but the waves were a bit high, in fact, higher than me!

Watch out for the wave!
On top of that they were rather quick today!

What! Gurgle gurgle gurgle!
But in the end I got the stick!

Got It!
Holly tried to pinch it when I got ashore but there was no way she was getting My Stick!

Freddy, being a kind soul found another stick but Holly just showed off and waddled off up the grass path!

Here Holly, you can have this one!
 After all that I reckoned I deserved a good roll in the sand, so I did!

I really need this!
 As we were heading back to the car Freddy tried his old trick!

I've twisted my claw!
 No one really took any notice, so he called out for Wendy.

This really hurts you know. I think I'm finished! Give me a cuddle to ease the pain!
 Not satisfied with that he then called out for 'Resuscitation'!

I need Mouth to Mouth, but no tongues!
 Well, that didn't work and as we all headed off leaving him on the ground he tried again.

Honest, it's my back legs now, they have seized up!
 We kept walking.

My legs! I can't feel my legs!
 Still no one stopped!

That's it, I'm Fox Fodder, I'm done for!
 OTL called out that he would give Freddy's share of Ferretone to Miss May and suddenly Freddy was cured!

He came bounding along the path saying he had just had a Miracle!

We don't think he will ever learn!

We are off to see what OTL has for dinner and can we pinch any!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Guess Who's Back?

Hi Woofers!

Yep! It's us again!

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

Sorry about yesterday, you see Old Two Legs was off at six yesterday morning, after cleaning out the ferrets and giving April her meds. That left The Missus to look after us.

Little did we know she was off up the village hall for a Master Class!

The ferrets didn't get a walk, we got left at home, all day and we only got a quick morning walk across the Farm Field!

TM and Helen called in at lunchtime and we got a walk around the Farm Field again and shoved back in the house again!

Holly and I were up for writing a complaining blog but OTL had forgotten to leave the password to get into the laptop, so that was it!

OTL didn't get back from his meeting until seven thirty, and by the time he had his dinner, it was time for bed!

However, today we have spent with OTL and got our walks with the ferrets, so we are sort of 'Back to Normal' again!

It was a super morning, the sun was shining and the ferrets managed to blag a lift in the ferret bag all the way down to the beach!

It's close, I can sniff the Sea Weed!
 Of course, Little April just had to ask..................

Are We?
 Holly and I were catching up on the sniffs we missed yesterday.


These are better than the Farm Field!
 Down on the beach I found a sandcastle and took a swipe at it with my paw as I passed by. That was an invitation for the ferrets to have a dig at it as well!

If I give it a shove it may just fall over!
 Well, it didn't fall over and that left Miss April to finish it off!


Now, if I chase OTL the lead will slice through the sandcastle and it will crash to the ground!
 She was right, it fell over and April jumped onto the top of the pile and did a 'Victory Wee'!

Next it was over to the Sea Kale and April made us all watch her 'Doing Cute'!

Bet you can't beat this for Cute!
 Miss Aprils paw it getting better, the swelling is slowly coming down and it isn't so sore now. Just to prove how well she feels, she walked all the way back from the beach to the car without a carry!

OTL went off to collect the caravan and it is now planted on the drive ready for getting ready for our holiday!

We have been telling Fred and Wendy all about our holidays and the new sniffs and the beaches and all the fun we have. They both say they are looking forward to it 'cos they have never been on a holiday before!

Lunchtime we were back down the beach again and this time the tide was right in. Of course I was straight into the water chasing sticks!

I got it! Come on throw it again!
 Holly Dog decided that the water was just a little too far up the beach for her liking, so she stayed up on the Sea Wall and kept out of the way of the waves!

No, this is far enough for me thank you!
 Freddy, being a bit braved than Holly, went down to the waters edge and was watching the waves.

What he didn't allow for was the wave rushing up the beach to where he was standing!

He got wet!

Yikes! All me 'Bits' are wet!
I don't think Freddy will ever learn, but it was fun watching him especially when he rushed back to OTL and insisted on being picked up and cuddled so he could get dry!

OTL had to go home with a wet shirt!

We are just off now to investigate what is for dinner 'cos we got served up with Doggy Scoff!

Let's hope OTL has got better than Doggy Scoff!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

I'm in Trouble, again!

Hi Woofers!

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

We were out this morning with May and April and you will be pleased to know that the Sore Paw is not so red and sore and Old Two Legs even thinks it has gone down in size! We will know more tomorrow morning when OTL has another look.

April says that it is not so painful to walk on! So, it looks like the Anti-Biotic Stuff is working!

Look! I've even had a dig!
Of course, Miss May not only had a dig but she managed to have a good roll in the hole she dug as well!
Bet you woofers can't do this!
Coming off the beach we spotted Kelly the Kestrel looking for breakfast and May said the she 'Fancied her Chances' and could we get him down on the ground?

OTL told her to stop trying to start a fight and get on with her Ferreting!

Come down here and try it!
You know that Aprils paw is getting better 'cos she walked all the way back to the car without trying to blag a lift in the ferret bag!

We got some chicken for breakfast so while OTL was down his customers again, we enjoyed a good snooze on the bed!

Now, lunchtime, well, it was just Great!

It started off with Wendy running all over the beach digging holes. A real game of Ferret Whizz and Dig!

Here comes the Fast Flying Ferret!
Not to be out done, Freddy said he was going to have a rest on the beach and do some work on his tan! Holly asked him if he had got any Factor 30 Cream but Freddy said that he tans naturally!


Soon I'll be Golden Brown all over!
The best bit was when OTL found a stick and was waving it about and teasing me!

Well, he wasn't going to get away with that so I told him didn't I.........!

THROW THE WOOFING STICK!
 We then had a game of 'Chase the Stick and I had a swim as well!

The waves were a bit rough but that wasn't going to stop me!


OK, here I go!
Up the top of the hill we met up with Poppy and Beau who came over to say hello to the ferrets. Now, that was OK and we all had a Tail Sniff and a look at the ferrets and then another Tail Sniff.

Then it was time to go.

Well, that's what the Two Legs decided but Poppy didn't agree with that so we had to leave her being dragged along the path as Poppy was saying that she wasn't ready to go yet!


But I don't want to go yet Mum!
Back home OTL was back on the computer trying to get all the stuff finished before the weekend starts, so we left him alone for a while!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Hot Work!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a glorious day it has been, loads of sunshine and some great games on the beach!

It started off with Miss May getting a bit worried about a Kestrel that was hovering on the wind looking for its breakfast! 

Mouse with Mushrooms and a bit of Fried Bread!
 May was wondering if it was looking for that shrew she caught the other day!

If it comes down here can I have it for breakfast?
 Little April was having fun on the beach 'cos the sand was not only dry but it was warm as well, so she didn't mind walking on the sand with her sore paw!

Old Two Legs said that it looked like the swelling had gone down a little but we will wait for tomorrow to be sure!

This is so warm!
 May was off in the Sea Kale again and pretended that she had finished off the shrew and even called out that there was another and she was too full to eat it!

Guess who was trying to trick the Kestrel?

Yum Yum! Shrew!
 It seems the Kestrel is not so daft 'cos it took one look at May and headed off down the Sea Wall!

Sometimes OTL calls May his 'Little Flower', so, today she stuck her head out of the Sea Kale and tried to look like a Ferret Flower!

You can call me Petal!
Back home OTL got called by his customer and spent nearly all day working on the computer again!

Holly and I spent time in the garden snoozing and listening to the fountains in the pond!

 We still haven't seen Trevor or any of his brothers, maybe they have all cleared off to the swamp on The Marshes!

Lunchtime on the beach was great! Holly and I were playing 'Dig and Whizz' and I even tried to get Holly wet when we were playing 'Chase' along the beach!

Come on, just a bit closer to the waves, you won't get wet, Honest!
 Not that Holly believed me! Freddy was a bit more gullible and he got too near the waves!


'Ere, I got me Tummy Wet!
Wendy was laughing her whiskers off at Freddy getting wet but she didn't get close to the water, she's not that daft!

Holly and I played 'Tug' with a stick we found on the beach and the pair of us were nose to nose for a long time!

GerrroffmystickundfindyerownorI'lldragyerintothewater!
 In the end Holly let go but it was only because we were getting too close to the waves!

Freddy walked all the way back to the car but managed to have a few 'Rest Stops' along the way!


This is Hot Work!
Wendy was dancing about all the way back as well. You can tell they love the sun on their back!

When we got back to the car we all had a cooling drink of water form the 'Travelling Bowl' and Freddy almost fell in 'cos he wanted to get his head wet as well!

Daft Ferret!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Meeting of Woofers!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, today has been just great!

I mean the sunshine has been around all day today. It was brilliant this morning, in fact it was so good that all us woofers held a meeting on the Sea Wall and there was woofing, and tail wagging and butt sniffing!

Yo! Polly Chops!

The Two Legs were there as well but we didn't see them do any butt sniffing!

OK, Who has the Gin Bottle?
Little Miss April was getting worried 'cos she said that she didn't fancy having her butt sniffed by any of the woofers!

Well, they 'aint sniffing mine!

Soon we were all off and April was first into the plants by the side of the path and she wouldn't come out until all of  the woofers had gone!


Is it safe?
Back home Old Two Legs was working on the computer and he kept checking on a big map full of lines and squiggles that he said were 'Contour Lines', but they still looked like squiggles to us!

Lunchtime Fred and Wendy came out with us and both had a good walk down to the beach!


.......................are we there yet?
 Wendy had a great time playing 'Bulldozers' and even Freddy joined in at one time! He normally spends all the time digging holes!


Wendy doing a 'Bulldozer'!
 Holly, not wanting to be left out of the fun, joined in and did her impression of a ferret playing 'Bulldozers'!

This is how a ferret does it!
 When we got back to the car, the ferrets were first in the water bowl, Freddy didn't even have time to stand up straight! He just sort of rolled over onto his back and threw himself into the bowl and made a terrible noise slurping at the water!


Ooooooh! I need this!

Of course, after they had finished, Holly and I got stuck in and almost finished off water!

Back home OTL finished the work and put loads of paper in a big folder and went off to deliver it to his customer.

Then, just as he was heading home, he decided to drop into the Doggy Shop, without us!

Mind you, when we saw what he had brought home we forgave him! There were teeth cleaning chews and Chicken Fillets and chicken strips and Jumbones!

So, you know what we will be after mugging tonight!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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