We Need an Ark or Two!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a night!

We all went to bed at the normal time last night but as we were sniffing our way around the garden Holly noticed that the evening light was 'Strange'.

Old Two Legs said it maybe had something to do with the coming thunder storms but we couldn't see anything on the horizon so we headed off to bed leaving the thunder storms to play with the clouds!

Around three or four this morning there was an enormous thunder storm over the top of us!

There was crashing and banging and lightening and rain.

In fact there was a lot of rain, masses of rain and thunder and lightening!

The Missus and Holly got up to watch it while OTL and I just rolled over and carried on snoozing!

When we did finally get up we saw that the pond was full to the brim!

The ferrets said they didn't hear anything, just like OTL, they go into a deep sleep!

We went down the beach and Holly was looking at the water, which was at low tide, and reckoned that the amount of rain we had this morning she had expected the water to be up to the Sea Wall!

Not much change here!

 Mind you, there were puddles all over the place on the grass paths. Even Holly had to get her paws wet!

We spotted a rabbit ahead of us but because the ground was all wet and soggy we didn't even bother with chase!

Nah! Not worth getting wet paws over!

 We had to go through some big puddles on the way to the beach and outside the Mini Two Legs School there was puddle big enough to float a boat on!

OTL said that what we needed was an Ark!

Launch HMS Ark!

 Lunchtime was no improvement and the tide was still out. It was also very muggy, just like it is before a storm!

I got down to the beach first and just couldn't resist a paddle, well, a deep paddle, well OK, A SWIM!

Ooooh! I need this!

OTL got down to the beach with the ferrets and once they were sorted and digging holes, OTL threw a stone into the water and told me to 'Find It'!

but It's Sunk!

Holly, who was sitting on the Sea Wall, was highly amused and called out that if we stay any longer we will all get wet through to the skin!

What a Bozo, swimming in this weather!

Back home to find out that the big car was not going to be finished, some sort of 'Wrong Delivery' or summat!

The Missus wasn't too happy about that 'cos tomorrow we were going to do another video on 'Glue Slapping With a Wet Fish' or something like that, or maybe it was 'Slapping a Wet Fish with Glue and Glitter'!

Who knows, if she gets her act together we could still do it and be home in time for tea!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Home Alone Again!

Hi Woofers!

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

Today has been a BORING DAY!

Old Two Legs had to take the big car to the menders this morning to get it fixed but he didn't let me know just how early he had to be up!

I mean, there we were at three in the morning woofing off a couple of cats in the garden when who should come down the stairs?

It was The Missus!

She was not a Happy Puppy being woken at such a time!

OTL was fast asleep, getting his strength up to get out of bed at five!

By six we were out in the small car heading for the beach, just Holly and I 'cos the ferrets were all asleep and refused to get up so early!

Back home by seven and then OTL and TM were out again leaving us woofers to guard the house!

By the time they got back, Holly and I were just having a little snooze after our early start!

We got some Posh Scoff and while we were eating it, the pair of them sneaked out again to do some shopping!

I mean, this is just not on!

Back they came at around three and Holly, Fred, Wendy and I got a run out down the beach!

Poor May and April just got a rampage around the house instead of a trip down the beach, the were not Happy Ferrets!

On top of all that disturbance in the force, they didn't get a run out and had to spend all day kicking the poo pot around the cage!

Well, a ferret has to have some way of making a little noise!

OTL, being in such a rush forgot to take the camera out with him. This morning it was because he was still half asleep and this afternoon 'cos he totally forgot it!

Tomorrow he goes to pick the big car up, so we will have to give him lots of cuddles to get him to stop crying!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Sand Holes R Us!

Hello Woofers!

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

Yippee!  It has been sunny again today! Just to balance it all out, the Pollen Count has been through the roof!

We know that 'cos Old Two Legs has been sneezing his head off all day!

Poor Lad!

It's a good job that Woofers and Ferrets don't suffer from Hay fever!

Down on the beach it was just great with a hot sun on our backs!

Morning Sun!

 We all had a good dig in the sand and May and April had a wonderful time digging a whopping great hole so big they almost disappeared!

Ferrets in dar hole!

 Holly and I got into the swing as well and were digging and rolling in the sand!

Sand Shovelling!

 Back home OTL has been hiding in the office all day trying to keep out of the pollen that has been making him sneezing his tail off!

Lunchtime we took him out again and as the tide was in that was a good excuse to go in for a super cooling swim!

This is the business!

 Fred and Wendy didn't go in for a swim and tried to keep in the shade until they got to the grass where they both hid under the grass to cool down!

That's it, keep to the wall!

 We saw a big ship heading up the Thames and it was carrying four big cranes!

Steady as you go Number One!

 Back home we all headed for a shady spot for a snooze and Freddy didn't move all afternoon! Wendy tucked herself under the blanket and didn't move at all!

Holly spent the afternoon on the sofa guarding her Bonio Biscuit while I stayed with OTL in the office.

Tomorrow we are off early to take the big car in for some repairs so we will be up and out before we normally wake up!

That's going to be hard!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Loadsarain!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a change from yesterday It was all sunshine and Factor 35 and today it's Trench Foot and soggy tails!

Yesterday, as the sun disappeared over the top of the house, Old Two Legs took some pictures of the pond.

OK, Wot are we looking at?

 Well, The Missus was out yesterday counting the flower buds on the Water Lilly plants and she reckons she could see eleven of them!

It was a shame that the sun had gone over the roof 'cos that means the jar wasn't dispensing water into the pond!

Blooms beginning to burst!

 The yellow and white blooms were ahead of the pink ones but we could see them underneath the Lilly Pads (leaves)!

Boo!

 This morning we were out early this morning but we still had to wear out rain coats. The ferrets didn't have rain coats so April climbed back into the ferret bag and May tried to cover herself with sea weed to keep the rain off her back!

Does my butt look big in this?

 The rain kept on falling so we didn't hang about. April stayed in the bag until we got to the bench, then she ran all the way back to the car!

Holly and I were right behind her and May and we all got a rub down with the Doggy Towel and even OTL gave his legs a rub!

Lunchtime walk was late 'cos OTL reckons he could see a 'Window' in the rain and it might be long enough to allow us a dry run!

Weeell, it sort of worked!

We drove through rain all the way down there and there were loads of large puddles that we splashed through! It was still raining when we got to the car park but it was slowly getting drier as we sat there looking to see if the rabbits were about!

No rabbits, but the rain stopped and off we went!

Down on the beach the ferrets got going on a fine looking trench!

Even Holly was impressed and asked if she could lend a paw!

Want any help?

I was down the other end of the beach having a sniff and a swim!

We headed back to the car and as we went back the rain started again, and it got heavier as we got closer to the car!

Fancy a swim Holly Chops?

By the time we got back to the car we were all wet again! I did say to Holly that she couldn't get any wetter if she had joined me for a dip!

Back home we got dried again by TM who was ready with the Doggy Towel!

We had some of the Posh Doggy Scoff and settled down for an afternoon snooze with chew beside our paw!

Claws crossed we may get some sunshine! Well, so far today we have had nearly thirteen millimetre of rain today and that doesn't include what is coming after the blog gets published!

Maybe tomorrow OTL will try again to photograph the Lilly Blooms!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Loadsasunshine!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what a day! It has been sunshine and hay fever all day today!

We were out early this morning with May and April and it was an almost cloudless sky!

Sunshine!

 We were down the beach and both ferrets had a great time on the digging holes and diving under the sea weed looking for monsters and stuff like that!

I can sniff a monster here!

 Miss May had a few words to say about the Mucky Two Legs who leave all the rubbish on the beach!

Why mess the beach up with this junk, especially as there is a rubbish bin over there?

 Holly and I were keeping a look out for any strangers as spotted young Barney II who was tearing along the Sea Wall to say 'Hello' to us and OTL!

Yep! That looks like Barney!

 Back home OTL had some cards and a prezzie to open but said that he couldn't do that until the ferret cages were cleaned out!

We reckon that secretly he just loves his morning game of 'Ferret Poo Shoveling'!

While he is doing that the ferrets take turns in rampaging around the house and one of the favourite spots it where the Ferretone Bottle is, just so they can slurp the drips off the lid!

Licky, Licky, Licky, Lick, Lick!

 When OTL went to pick The Missus up from the village hall after her 'Glue & Glitter day, he also picked up a travelling cage for the ferrets. A present from Margaret who comes to the Crop!

Well, when Fred and Wendy found it they had a great game chasing in and out and having a tussle inside!

OTL said that now he could use that to take all four ferrets out for a walk together!

Four ferrets and two dogs, Nah! Even he wouldn't try that!

Gotcha!

 Lunchtime TM came out with us for a walk and spent some time throwing sticks into the water for me. She was throwing them a bit further than OTL does and I had to swim all the way out into the middle of the sea just to get the stick!

Blooming Heck! That is half way to Essex!

OTL said that he was 'Keeping and eye on me' just in case I needed rescuing, he said he would throw TM in to the water to get me!

You know, it was so warm that the ferrets had to be carried most of the way back to the car!

Holly and I said we would try pulling that trick next time, you know, roll on our backs, stick our legs up in the air and say that we can't walk another step!

OTL has been promised venison steak tonight as a Fathers Day Treat. Holly and I both love venison especially when it is dipped into an egg yoke and has eggy all over it!

Yum! Yum!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It has stopped raining!

Hi Woofers!

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

You know what? The rain has stopped! Well, just before we left home there was some rain drops falling into the pond but when we got out the front door, nothing!

It was over cast but that was a lot better than horizontal rain!

Another good thing was the fact we didn't have to engage in any speed weeing!

When we got out of the car, Holly went off sniffing the rubbish the night time visitors had left on the ground, you know, Burger Bar paper and stuff like that, messy Two Legs!

I, on the other paw went off hunting rabbit!

There I was slowly stalking this rabbit that seemed to have frozen solid in the grass. I was slowly putting one paw down and then another and still the rabbit didn't move!

That was until Old Two Legs and the ferrets came up to tell me we were heading off.

At that point the rabbit came alive and disappeared into the bushes!

Slowly, Slowly Catchy Rabbit!

Down on the beach there were some new sniffs that had been washed up on the tide, interesting to sniff but not worth a roll, if you know what I mean!

Yeah! It sort of sniffs of crab poo!

 Miss May found the drain hole that had been washed clear of sand and stones. She said she could sniff rats and stuff up the hole and wanted to go in and investigate but OTL said we didn't have all day to wait around for her so she got picked up!

May was not a 'Happy Ferret'!

Come on! Let me in there, I'll soon sort them out!

 In the distance we saw one of the Wormy Men all on his own looking for worms. Due to the amount of rain we have had lately, the Wormy Men had stayed at home polishing up their forks!

Come on Wormys, WM gotta shining fork!

 As we headed back to the car we came across Sid the Sprinting Slug who was out on a training run. He is expecting to get called up for the Olympics in the near future!

Good Luck Sid!

 He didn't hang about and was off like a rocket!

 Lunchtime I managed a swim in the sea as the tide was in. As normal, Holly stayed well out of the way, that was until she sneaked in and pinched the stick OTL was throwing for me!

Holly, waiting for the stick!

 Although it wasn't cold, I was glad when we got back to the car 'cos OTL gave me a good rub down with the Doggy Towel to get rid of most of the water from my back and tummy.

It was better when we got home 'cos he did it again with a clean dry towel!

We all settled down to watch the F1 Practise and then the Qualifying. That race track is rather tight on some of the bends and Holly says there will be some fun and games when the race gets started tomorrow!

OTL has told us the car is coloured White, 'cos we had a choice of white or white! He says it is nothing to get too excited about, it's a 'Bog Standard' replacement for the small car that we have now had for eleven years and while the small car is still OK and works well, OTL had instructions from the accountant to spend some money before the Tax Man gets his grubby fingers on it!

We have never seen a Tax Man so we can't confirm if he has grubby fingers but if the accountant says so then we believe him!

OK, dinner is being cooked so we are off for some serious mugging!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Soggy Doggys and a new car!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, wot a day Friday has been! It started off this morning when we headed down to the sea side for our morning walk but the closer we got to the car park the wetter it became!

By the time we got out of the car it was coming down like the beginning of The Flood!

Miss April dived straight back into the bag, May decided she wanted to go swimming, in the grass!

Holly and I decided a quick wee and a poo and then it's back to the car!

We all got soaked, including Old Two Legs who ended up with soggy trousers!

Back home, 'cos the ferrets hadn't had their normal rampage, they were still full of life!

Especially Miss May who, once she was let out of the travelling cage, she chased The Missus all over the place giving her playful 'Ferret Kisses' with her teeth!

April was in overtime collecting food and stashing it in TM's card room!

OTL had to change all his clothing and then after that, it was Ferret Cage Cleaning Time!

Fred and Wendy were let loose for a rampage around the house and of course, they both had a game with OTL getting their tummy tickled!

That is always a good game and it gives them a bit of exercise as well!

OTL decided that it was time to replace the small car 'cos we have had it for eleven years!

Off he went,leaving us at home with TM!

We watched him disappear up the road and lost him before he got to the end of the road!

Too much rain!

So, we went back to bed for a well earned snooze!

Lunchtime came and OTL still hadn't come back so TM said she would take us out for a stroll.

But it was raining!

We were going to get wet!

We didn't get our rain coats!

We got wet, very wet!

That was it, speed weeing and speed pooing, in the rain as well!

Back home we got a rub down but we were still a pair of damp doggies!

It wasn't long before OTL got back and he gave us a good rub down again with our towels!

He said he had ordered up a new car that was due for delivery towards the end of June or maybe beginning of July!

Exciting stuff!

So, we are all looking forward to tomorrow when we will get a good run, providing it has stopped raining of course!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Day with OTL

Yo Woofers!

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

Now Old Two Legs is dead chuffed with Miss April 'cos she takes her medicine every morning and evening like a good girl and always licks the bowl dry!

When OTL has had to give medicine to Snowflake or Brambles there has been all manner of problems! There was one time when Snowflake had to take her antibiotic and even with the help of the vet, snowflake spat it back at the vet and caught her straight in the eye! 

In the end OTL had to take her every day to the vet for an injection!

So we are all pleased that April likes the taste of her medicine in a bowl of lactose free milk!

Mumn, mummn, licky licky slurp slurp!

 OTL says she will be on that stuff for the rest of her life which we hope will be a loooooong time!

She has slimmed down and seems to be fit and full of fun even though she does need her sleep!

She pushed Holly and me out of a hole we had just started digging and took over digging and rolling in the sniffs!

It's Ours Now!

 Holly, May, April and I missed out on a really good sniff but OTL saw it and rather than have a roll, he took a photo!

A crab who has been out in the sun too long!

 We dropped The Missus off this morning and she has been out all day, so we have been having fun in the garden chasing pigeons and collared doves!

We have also been hunting for frogs but we spot a frog or catch a pigeon, so instead we stretched out on the patio and listened to the water feature gurgling away when the sun came out!

Lunchtime it was sort of warm and muggy but there were some rain clouds coming over but we managed to miss the rain. Let's face it, who likes to get wet?

Rain clouds heading for Essex!

 Mind you, I did go in for a good splash about in the retreating tide! It was great, not deep enough for swimming but deep enough for a good running splash!

Yippee!

 Fred and Wendy decided to stay on dry land together with Holly Dog who, as you know, just doesn't do wet!

We can rest here and watch Silly Knickers in the water!

 Back home we got some chicken but Holly decided it was too warm for food and decided to leave it until tonight, after mugging OTL!

Me, on the other paw decided to eat half of in now and reserve the rest for later!

Not sure what OTL has tonight but with a bit of luck it will be tasty!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Hello Piper!

Hello Woofers!

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

We have been out this morning and we found some super sniffs to roll in and I even got a swim as well!

Old Two Legs said that there was no way I was going to be let back in the car unless I got washed!

I didn't mind, it was a good excuse to have a swim!

Mind you, while I was getting my paws wet Holly Dog was investigating the sniff and trying to decide on having a roll but it was the thought of getting washed put her off!

Oooooh! This does sniff good!

 We were out early at lunch time 'cos OTL said we had a special visitor arriving!

Fred and Wendy were told to hurry up and dig their hole in the sea shells. Fred said that no one was going to rush him 'cos this was 'His Time' in the fresh air!

Wendy got back into the bag for a little while but was soon back out again as soon as we hit the grass path!

We are busy digging!

 As we were going along the Grass Path I had to go back and tell Freddy he was dragging his tail and if he didn't get a move I'd make sure our biscuits were put back in the packing and he would go hungry!

OK Freddy, shift yer tail!

 Back home we just in time to greet our visitors, There was Jean and Charles and Piper!

Piper is a super young poodle who thinks OTL is wonderful 'cos he allowed him to nibble our biscuits!

You know, Piper was small enough to get behind the furniture to pinch the biscuits that the ferrets had stashed there!

OTL's feet were there to stop Piper from jumping onto OTL's lap to give his nose a lick!

 OTL was playing about with the camera and sneaked a quick shot of Charles while demonstrating a Ring Flash. You can see the flash ring reflected off his glasses!

Uncle Charles!

 We are off now to mug OTL 'cos he has Sausage and Mash tonight and Holly and I are after the sausages!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

OTL gets wet!

Yo Woofers!

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

It has been fun today, Old Two Legs has been our target today!

It started this morning when we went out for our walk. Both May and April got down while Holly and I went off chasing rabbits!

We came back to OTL and then ran away again!

OTL was jumping up and down and getting all showy off!

OK, now everyone run away!

 Down on the beach we all had a dig while OTL kept his eyes open for other woofers. While he wasn't looking May dived into a pile of sea weed saying she was hunting monsters but we all knew she was just having a roll in something sniffy!

Oooh! Look! A Monster!

This time OTL told her to get up and stop playing 'Silly Mothers' or something like that!

May jumped back and pretended to fall over but that was only to get the last roll!

Oh! Ouch! I've been thrown out from under the sea weed where that monster is!      Honest!

 With that, she ran off down to the waters edge and ran along the side of the waves.

One day she is going to miss time it and she is going to get a god soaking, or I'm going to splash her by running past in the water!

Can't catch me!

 Back home to some Doggy Scoff but both Holly and I weren't too hungry so we decided to leave it until tonight, after OTL has finished his scoff!

Lunchtime Fred and Wendy said the were going to continue the game we played on OTL this morning but when we got out of the car it started to rain, not much but there were raindrops everywhere!

Both ferrets decided to leave the game until later and they both dived into the ferret bag to get out of the way of the rain drops.

Then, half way along the path the rain came down in bucket loads!

Both ferrets got deeper into the bag, Holy Dog decided to head back to the car with me following close behind her!

OTL was getting very wet following up behind us!

We got back to the bench and the rain stopped, so, both ferrets got out for a wee and Holly and I, now on the lead, decided to stop for a sniff in the grass.

Now this was not the best decision we had made today 'cos as soon as we were all sniffing away, down came the rain again!

It was a rush back to the car to get a rub down with the Doggy Towel. Ferrets first and then us woofers!

OTL didn't bother trying to have a rub down, he just sat in the front seat while his trousers went 'SQUELCH' every time he operated the pedals in the car!

Back home we all found a nice warm spot and snuggled down for a snooze before dinner!

Now, yesterday Holly and I mugged some of OTL's gammon but we are not sure what is on the menu today, so it's 'claws crossed'!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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