A Dismal Day!

Yo Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret again!

Now this is just too much! I mean, it's June and it should be all hot and sunny!

Grey upon Grey!

Old Two Legs says that there should be some sunshine on Sunday and Monday but before that we have got rain on Saturday, maybe even some thunder. Friday is not going to be any better than today!

Oh Doom and Gloom!

We couldn't go in swimming so instead Holly and I played 'Hide n Seek' with May and April and you know, they are blooming good! All they need to do is wriggle under the grass and they just disappear!

Holly and I had to give up in the end!

I can't see them at all!

Back home we retired to OTL's office and had our morning snooze!

Lunchtime we were out again and this time with Fred and Wendy. They both had a dig in the sand and a good sniff in the sea weed. We then headed up the grass path and Freddy had a little dig in the grass and Wendy just dived in and was ferreting about and said that there was something wriggling around in the undergrowth!
 

There is something in here!

 In the end she lost whatever it was, we reckon it was just her pushing the grass about!

Of course, after doing a little dig, Freddy Boy decided that he was 'all worn out' and the cheeky lad tried to get me to give him a lift!

No, You Walk, like the rest of us!

 Then, not getting a lift he 'fell over' and said he was in terrible pain from the 'sore paw' !

Miss Wendy was up to all his tricks and launched herself at him and tickled him with her claws!

No! Oh No! It Tickles!

 That sorted him out and he had to run all the way back to the car!

Mind you, while he was doing his tricks, I found a super sniff and I just couldn't resist it!

Holly said I would be in trouble but it was just too good to pass up!

I don't care, I NEED a Roll!

 Back home we were given a teeth cleaning chew, so Holly and I settled down to have a nibble before we start mugging OTL for his dinner!

So, paws crossed for the rain to keep away and the sun to arrive on Sunday!

Let's get back to a proper June!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's another Damp Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, today is the first day of June, Flaming June, Hot and Sticky June, put your sun hat on June, not freeze your tail off June!

Just wot is happening? There we were expecting balmy breezes and blazing sunshine and instead Old Two Legs is looking at Outdoor Professional Clothing on the Internetty Whotssit!

It had just stopped raining when we went out this morning but there were big puddles all over the place, mind you OTL loves driving through the puddles!

When we got to the car park we met up with young Dave the Westie. We chased a couple of rabbits, had a sniff and a wee and off he went to walk along the Sea Wall with his Two Legs. We gathered up May and April and headed off to the grass path!

See you later Girls!

 Down on the beach Miss May got going on a hole but Miss April said she didn't fancy sand today and please can she have the grass!

No, I'm not in the mood to dig today!

 We could see that Dave was chatting to a couple of woofers down the Sea Wall a bit, so we gathered up the ferrets and headed for the grass!

Come on, we have time to get up on the grass path!

 Both May and April had a great time digging in the grass and getting muddy paws! OTL says that digging helps keep their claws to the correct length and the short walk on the concrete path just takes the points off as well!

Back home we got presented with Doggy Scoff, not the normal Pigs Poo but The Missus said this was an 'Up Market' Scoff. Well, as I hadn't had much yesterday I decided to give it a go and surprisingly it wasn't too bad, so I finished it all and even licked the bowl!

After eating our scoff, TM gives Holly and I a 'Treat' and today was no exception, when I finished I got a large lump of Chicken Fillet but Holly didn't. She didn't eat her scoff, so she didn't get a treat.

Holly Chops was not a happy puppy and proceeded to rob me of my Chicken Fillet!

There was loads of grumbling and growling and in the end TM had to take the Fillet off Holly, lock me away with OTL in his office and give me my Chicken Fillet to eat on my own!

I didn't mind in the slightest, in fact I made loud lip smacking noises so that Holly, who was sitting outside the door, could hear me enjoying the Chicken Fillet!

Holly was not a 'Happy Puppy', not that I cared!

Lunchtime Freddy and Wendy were down on the beach with us and although Holly was still showing off, we all had a good game of 'Dig and Whizz'!

Who whizzed over the top then?

 Freddy was amazed just how much the Sea Kale plant had grown and another Sea Kale Plant was growing as well!

Soon we will have Sea Kale all over the beach, unless someone comes and 'Tidy the Beach Up' and digs them up!

It's getting bigger every day!

The puddles were still as big as they were this morning and one soppy TL was jumping in and out of the puddle with her Bozo of a Labrador who just loves puddles!

OTL was going to drive through the puddle and throw water up all over the car but decided that the TL wouldn't like getting too wet, so he drove very slowly through the puddle and just washed the wheels of the car!

Go on, put yer foot down!

 Freddy was jumping up and down and shouting for OTL to make a big splash!

Naughty Freddy!

We reckon that Archie Babes Boy has got over to his destination by now and Mum can breath again!

Does that mean Archie Babe will get first choice of the cushions on the sofa?

What is all this about Hamish and Izzy climbing mountains? OTL used to do that but now he is getting too old and too much of a liability and no one will go with him, so that means we have to make do with the rocky bits down the bottom of the mountains!

That is one thing about living down the south, we get the best weather but there are no mountains, just silly hills!

Next holiday is North Yorkshire, are there any mountains in Yorkshire?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Wet, Windy and Not Summery!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a day!

We had a look at Old Two Legs weather thingy whatsit this morning and saw we had some dark and wet looking clouds heading our way today!

The weather forecast on the TV showed we had some nasty wet winds heading down into North Kent!

What we didn't like was the forecaster telling us that the rest of the UK was all sunshine and balmy breezes!

We knew we were in trouble when OTL got the lead out and our rain coats. He didn't even get the ferrets out and in their travelling cage but rather he put them back in their beds!

Holly and I were not too happy about going out and it took OTL a while to get us into the car!

When we got to the car park it was bucketing down and we had to stay on our lead until we got right around the corner into our 'Pooing Grounds'!

The wind was howling and the rain was horizontal and from the north!

After I had 'Done my Thing' I wanted to go back to the car but OTL said we couldn't go back until Holly had finished her 'Business'!

So, all the time I was whispering to her 'come on, get it done and we can go home' but you know how it is, when someone is looking at you, you just can't go!

In the end Holly Dog managed it and as soon as OTL had filled the poo bag we were off back to the car at a fast trot!

We got a rub down with our towels and OTL had to drive home soaking wet!

That will teach him!

Lunchtime was no better, it was still raining but not so hard and OTL spotted a gap so off we went.

We had brought Fred and Wendy along with us and even they didn't hang about when OTL put them on the sandy beach. A quick sniff, a little dig and then it was a case of 'Two Fast Flying Ferrets' all the way back to the car!

As you would imagine, OTL left the camera at home 'cos it was just too wet to even think about taking it with us!

You know we got 30mm of rain today and the strongest wind gust was 44.2 km/h!

He gets a bit boring with his weather machine, as Holly says, 'Stick your nose out the door and you can tell if it's raining!'

Tomorrow it looks like rain here as well, so we are hoping that our rain coats get dry overnight!

Sorry there are no pictures, maybe tomorrow!

Bye for now!

Luv,

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

Wash and a Splosh today!

Hello Woofers!

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

Dunno what it has been like where you are but down here it has been grey, windy and a bit chilly!

Not the sort of weather we were expecting for our Bank Holiday!

First thing down on the beach we didn't feel too much like taking a swim, well Holly doesn't do swimming anyway! The tide was in and the wind was coming in from the North Sea, so you know what that means!

It's a bit draughty here!

We didn't hang about for too long 'cos Old Two Legs had made us an appointment with the Poodle Parlour for this morning. We arrived to be told that the Two Legs who normally cuts our hair is not going to be doing it after next month and there would be a new TL, and, the price is going up!

Well we had to hold OTL up against the counter for support, poor lad came over all faint and wobbly!

He said that he may invest in a new water hose and some dog clippers and have a bash himself!

We will wait and see what sort of job the new TL does!

Lunchtime OTL was down the beach with Freddy and Wendy and OTL was using the Point and Shoot camera with a built in zoom lens and he took a picture of the wind generated electric turbines that hadn't been finished yet.

It's windy but these things were not moving yet!

 Both Freddy and Wendy had never seen wind powered turbines before and just stood and stared at them. Wendy asked why they weren't going around like wot they are supposed to be doing. Freddy just stood there saying that they were 'Just Too Large'

It's just too big man!

OTL says that he will try to take a picture and make it look like the blades are bending in the wind, but first, they have got to be going around!

Mid afternoon OTL came and rescued us from the Parlour so Holly and I were out in the car like a shot!

We both sniff like a Tarts Handbag and Holly even said that she wouldn't mind OTL having a go at giving her trim!

Yeah, I'm waiting to see what sort of job the new TL does before going committing myself!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Sunny Sunday!

Yo Woofers!

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

Well, today has been fun, the rain has stayed away from our part of the country and we have missed all the thunder and lightening!

Holly was glad about that 'cos she doesn't like loud bangs or stuff like that!

Miss Wendy discovered the TV that Old Two Legs has mounted on the office wall. Something caught her eye and she just stood there, on top of the post weighing machine, looking at the screen!

Wossat?

 Now I can see the screen and will woof at anything that looks like a woofer or a sheep or bears and stuff like that!

Now I've got a mate, Wendy can also see them!

Holly, Freddy, May and April say that we are dreaming but we know what we can see!

May is a right pickle 'cos she is really getting into having a roll in some ferret type sniffs!

Super Rolling Sniff here!

Wot upsets Holly and me is OTL doesn't tell her off, he just lets her roll in the sniff!

Favouritism!

The morning was spent cleaning out the bedding and food crumbs from both ferrets houses!

Lunchtime OTL had settled down to watch the F1 Racing but just before the race started I got this terrible urge to have a wee.

So, off we went, leaving the race to get going without OTL! He is so understanding!

Wendy and Freddy had a game with OTL, some times they were walking through the long grass and sometimes Freddy tried the old 'Sore Paw' trick!

Oh it hurts, honest!

OTL was in a good mood and he let them ride in the ferret bag and of course, they kept looking out to see what was going on!

Can I get out for a wee please?

Mind you, he made them walk back from the bench on top of the hill!

Tomorrow OTL says that we have an appointment with the poodle parlour so it's a good job the weather is warm and sunny 'cos we don't like cold draughts blowing up your tail!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Two weeks and the plants have grown high!

Yo Woofers!

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

The weather down here can't make up it's mind! It was all cloudy and full of rain this morning but this afternoon it has been sunshine!

The ferrets started off doing what they normally do while Old Two Legs has his breakfast.

May goes off to search for chicken strips she has hidden in the office while April enjoys her medicines, all in one glass bowl!

This just tastes Soooo Gooood!

 On our way to the beach we noticed just how tall the weeds have grown and on top of that they all had flowers!

There's ferret in there!

 When we got to the beach we noticed that there were four of those Whirly Gig things on the Sheppey banks!

Two of them were ready to go while the other two were in the process of being assembled!

Something new on the horizon!

 The ferrets had a great time catching up on the sniffs on the beach and digging some new holes!

I love a good hole!

 Miss April prefers the grass to the sand, so she was glad to get some serious ferreting when we got to the grass path!

This is the best bit!

 While we were out The Missus headed for the village hall to join the Crafty Bunch!

Back home there was chicken bits, (legs and thighs) and we stuffed our chops!

Lunchtime we were out again after OTL had done all the cleaning of the cages and changing the bedding and sleeping bags!

Freddy and Wendy just love a good dig, when we were on holiday they both opened up a scout tent peg hole until it looked like a rat hole!

So, a bit of sand is no problem!

Well, it could be a sandy rat hole!

 I found a sniff and just had to celebrate by having a good roll! Holly Chops was very dismissive and said that I should 'Behave Myself!'

Oh Really, you as just too much!

 Mind you, after I got up and wandered off I did spot that Holly had a quick roll!

What the heck!

 Miss Wendy was having fun but she decided that she would dig but not roll on the sand!

No rolling for me!

 Both ferrets found that the sea kale plant had been growing while we had been away and they both had fun rolling in the new leaves!

This is the best fun!

 On the way back home Freddy and Wendy went to say hello to the Crafty Bunch in the village hall and got cuddled and kissed by TL's who have had ferrets of their own and new TL's who have never seen a ferret before!

They were both very gentle with the TL's and Wendy did some licking while Freddy got cuddles and his tummy tickled!

So, we left them doing their thing and headed back home for a snooze!

We are not sure what is happening tomorrow but OTL had a Kofti Kebab this evening and that means we will see him fighting the angels over the Single Malt Whisky he brought back from Scotland!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Back Home!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a drive! Well most of the time it was just Old Two Legs who was awake, everyone else was snoring their tails off!

We have just unloaded the caravan and there is a whacking great pile of stuff just inside the front door!

I hope it all gets sorted before the morning or we will be climbing all over it to get out for a wee!
 The ferrets are glad to be back in their cages again, a lot bigger than the holiday cages and full of familiar sniffs as well!

The Missus is off to their Card Making Cardy Thong Thingy tomorrow and the cards they will be making goes to Demelza House where they are sold to visitors to make some money to help pay for stuff.

There is also plans for a donation for the Harrietsham Ferret Centre, so that can't be bad!

TM has been on FaceAche catching up with the gossip and we hear that Archie Babe has got his tail up this weekend and is giving cuddles to his Two Legs who need a reason to hold their tails up!

Also, we have brought back the Raccoon we got from Auntie  Sue, he spent most of the holiday having his squeaker chewed! You know he even hid under OTL's pillow!

We are off for an early night, so, bye bye for now and see you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Just over the border!

Och Eye McWoofers!

McDaisy, MacHolly, Miss McMay, Miss McApril, Miss McWendy and Freddy de McFerret here again!

Now, sorry we didn't get to up load the blog yesterday, Old Two Legs tried to wreck the big car and had to do some 'emergency repairs' (hit it with wheel wrench!) and that was before he could find a friendly garage man to hit it with a bigger hammer!

You see it was like this................................

OTL has seen some pictures of the Cullin Mountains, taken from a place called Egol. Now the road stops at Egol and it doesn't have a very smooth car park. Couple that with the boat trips to see the seals and other water type animals, it gets a bit crowded. In fact, as OTL says, '.......this is near on bl..dy impossible'!

Well, seeing that we were in a 4x4 OTL drives over some rocks and there is a small scrapping sound underneath the car. 'Don't worry' says OTL and starts on about sump guards and stuff like that!

Of we go, clutching camera and tripod and headed for the beach.

OTL got all 'Arty' and tried several ways of taking the picture and this one was using a 'Big Stopper' which means you have to have a long exposure and that makes the water all misty, well, that was the plan but the water wasn't doing much and it ended up as a sort of foggy look in the water!

Yes, he has even climbed one of the mountains, known as the In Pin!

Holly and I left him to it and went off exploring all the sniffs. We got called back and had to sit still while he took some pictures of us!

Holly Chops trying to 'Out Tart' me!

We did suggest that for a change, we should have one of OTL as well. The Missus was refusing to be photographed unless she was ten miles away, so, Holly and I had fun with the 'Delay' button and every time it got close to taking the picture, we had a wriggle or looked the other way!

Missed Again!

 Now, all that was OK but we had to get home so OTL took a look at the underside of the car to find out what was causing the graunching noise!

The underneath of the car has some aluminium sheet things that are screwed to the floor so as to protect the transmission shaft and other things. Now, OTL, riding over the stone had made a bit of a dent in it. When we wanted to go backwards the stone thought it was very rude to try to lift it out of its nice warm bed it had been in for several millions of years!

'See You Jimmy' it said and grabbed the aluminium sheet and shoved it into the transmission shaft!

'Ouch!' said the transmission shaft and tried to eat the aluminium sheet!

So, there we were with the back wheel up on a couple of rocks OTL had made into a ramp and had driven the car back so the wheel was up in the air!

Under the car went OTL with a wheel wrench to bend it all out of the way so it wouldn't make such a terrible noise. After some thumping and bashing and 'Ouch! You B*&5S' OTL managed to make it quiet!

Getting out from under the car we all noticed he had been laying on a couple of freshly dropped sheep poo's!

OTL was a right pongy person!

Off we went and found a garage, with ramps and a man with a big hammer!

So, by the time we had done all that and got home, it was just too late to do the blog!

We are now back in Gretna and looking forward to some Flied Lice, Plawn Balls and some Plawn Clackers!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, MacHolly, Miss McMay, Miss McApril, Miss McWendy and Freddy de McFerret.

A Day out with McOTL!

Och Eye The Noo!

Hi Woofers!

It's McDaisy, MacHolly, Miss McMay, Miss McApril, Miss McWendy and Freddy de McFerret here again!

We have been out with OTL today 'cos The Missus had some super ideas for her Master Class and decided to slosh the glitter about today!

That was it, the ferrets were on their own and we legged it as soon as OTL had finished his chores!

OTL wanted to try out his Tilt/Shift lens that he went on a course about. You know, how to focus up from here to eternity!

We didn't mind, just as long as he was on a beach that had loads of sand and space to run!

Having looked at the book of maps we decided to go over to the Isle of Skye and we would be taking a Wee Bonny Boat!

The ferry is at Kyle Rhea and is a sort of swing car deck type, blooming scary if you want my opinion!

Not exactly a big sign post!

The ferry has been on the television and even the dog that helps has been featured as well!

Mind you all the jumping on and off the boat looks like hard work!

I said 'Keep in Line' any misbehaviour and you won't be allowed on my boat!

We finally got on the boat and stayed inside the car. Holly reckons she could do the loading bit but was worried that jumping on and off would be a bit dodgy, especially with her short legs!

Nah! I'll stick to chasing rabbits, they can keep this sailor stuff!

Once off the ferry we headed over the mountains and arrived at a super view of the islands and the sea. Of course OTL was jumping up and down and setting up the camera but we had to stay inside the car, too many sheep and lambs was OTL's excuse!

There were about twenty sheep behind him offering advice on how to use the Tilt/Shift lens!

OTL took a couple of shots and we woofer out of the window to keep the sheep away!

Is that a mini Thunder Storm cloud?

 It wasn't too long before we arrived at the beach we had seen on the map.

It was GREAT!

No Two Legs, no woofers, no sheep, just sea and sand!

OTL was climbing all over the rocks and sea weed while Holly and I just went potty chasing up and down the sandy beach. Holly even got all brave and rushed into the water, just up to her tummy!

OTL playing with the filters as well!

 After a run about we sat on the rocks so we could get dry in the sunshine. Holly tried to sun bathe on her back on one of the rocks and nearly rolled off!

So, in the end she did what I was doing and sat there catching the rays!

This is better that a Doggy Towel!

 I saw some gulls land behind the rocks OTL was trying to photograph so I rushed up to the top and woofed them away!

Woof off or we will be dining of Skewered Seagull tonight!

Well, we didn't want them to do a poo in OTL's camera bag!

While OTL was trying to get a wall of rock in focus from start to finish, I sat out on the sand woofing at Holly to wake up!

Holly Dog is just out of sight on the bottom of the picture, too tired to move!

 We had a great time and OTL even gave us a rub down with the towel before he let us get back in the car, just in case we had rolled on any sheep poo!

As if!

Bach home TM had been sloshing it all about and ended up not making and stuff 'cos she messed up the picture by trying to do too much to it. A bad case of not knowing when to stop and leave it alone!

We got a bowl of chicken and a carrot as a treat afterwards!

Now we are off for a snooze before bed time!

See you tomorrow and we think TM is coming with us over to Skye to visit another sandy beach!

Do you think she will be dashing into the water as well as us?

I'll let you know!

Now, I see Archie Babe is doing well, good lad, keep on with the medicine it will do you good in the end, even if yo do manage to spit it all around the kitchen! I remember when Snowflake had to have some jollop and OTL had to hold her while the vet squirted it down her throat, it was then that she spat it all back, all over the vet and the consulting room!

In the end she had to have an injection every day, done by the vet who she managed to give a nip to on the last injection!

Cable car? Yes we have seen that and OTL says that he and cousin Alun went up there to see some snow two or three of years ago. OTL says they do some great Hot Chocolate and Carrot Cake!

Bye for now.

Luv,

McDaisy, MacHolly, Miss McMay, Miss McApril, Miss McWendy and Freddy de McFerret.

We see the sun!

Aye the Noo!

McDaisy, MacHolly, Miss McMay, Miss McApril, Miss McWendy and Freddy de McFerret here!

Well, last night we kept on being woken up, first it was The Missus snoring, then it was Old Two Legs snoring and finally it was the rain belting down and making a terrible racket pounding away on the roof!

It did that several times during the night, rain, TM, rain, OTL, rain, rain and finally, just before it was time to wake up, really heavy rain!

Then it all stopped.

OTL stopped snoring, TM stopped snoring and the rain stopped raining!

After a little while the caravan was filled with light, it was the sun peeking through the curtains!

TM announced that she wanted to go into Fort William for some 'Retail Thererpy' whatever that is!

So, after clearing up the ferret cages and walking us woofers we were off in the car!

TM wanted to find a 'Craft Shop' and OTL said he wanted to see if there was a Doggy Shop to get some more treats for us and the ferrets!

When we got there, and after a long trip around the trading estates we found a 'Pet Shop' that was nothing like what we wanted, however, OTL found some treats that were made from 90% chicken breast and they tasted 'WONDERFUL!'

Holly and I demolished the first bar and then we 'Liberated' the other two while OTL wasn't looking!

It was decided that TM would get out of the car and have a wander down the High Street while OTL took us for a walk in the forest near to Ben Nevis.

So, off we went and found the car park at the bottom of a hill called 'Cow Hill'

Look, snow!

We started to climb, watching out for stray 'Cows' but didn't see any. What we did see was the mountain called Ben Nevis and it had snow on the top!

No Cows Yet!

Holly was wondering if OTL had plans to climb up Ben Nevis via Cow Hill but it looked too far away, even for OTL!

It's a long way up there!

We met up with some Two Legs who were out for a run up and down the hill. Now even we could see that they were very hot, puffing and blowing and looking very uncomfortable!

I mean, why?

We came across a path that lead off towards the top of the hill and OTL decided it would be fun to view from the top. Not that Holly and I thought it such fun but to be able to walk off the lead made a good change!

Then it happened, OTL's mobile phone rang, it was TM wanting to be picked up from the High Street. She had finished spending all her money and wanted to get back to the caravan to try out some of the stuff she had purchased!

So that was it, no climbing to the top of Cow Hill, we would have to wait until next time to do that!

Hey! We have got to go all the way down now!

 Off we set and I must admit, it was easier going down hill than going up hill!

Last on down is a Ferret!

It wasn't too long before we picked up TM from the High Street and headed back to the caravan where we all went out for a walk with OTL, that is, first us woofers, then the ferrets!

TM stayed in and read her book on 'Murder & Mayhem' some really dark story!

We had Doggy Scoff and retired to bed for a snooze before night time came!

We left OTL to go off to see if the sunset was worth photographing while we enjoyed taking over the whole bed!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, MacHolly, Miss McMay, Miss McApril, Miss McWendy and Freddy de McFerret.
