Snoozy Saturday!

Hello Woofers!

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

It has been a fun day today, it started off when Old Two Legs went in to wake the ferrets before getting their breakfast.

They were all asleep!

Wendy was fast asleep in the corner bed and Freddy had climbed in with her. The only problem was, Freddy just couldn't make it into the bed fully!

Freddy left his paws outside!

 We went down the beach with May and April and had a dig but being the weekend there were loads of tourists with woofers that  didn't know the rules!

The ferrets seemed to get picked up every few yards!

Not that it worried April but Miss May said she missed her morning jog!

So, no jogging and no pictures 'cos OTL was too busy watching the horizon for marauding woofers!

Lunchtime it was the same! Loads of woofers, off the lead and charging about!

I stayed in the water as long as I could while Holly sat on the beach trying to be above all the woofing!

I tried to rub off the water by rolling in the embers of an old fire that covered my back with loads of soot and other black stuff!

It sort of helped a little bit but I ended up looking like a very black woofer!

When we got home I got washed, all over, and there was no bit missed, but I'm back to my normal colours!

One thing we did spot was this hear strange looking ship heading up the Thames. The front end looked like it was pointing the wrong way!

Seriously Strange!

Flying the Bermudan Flag and called SF99!

We have looked on the Internet and see that it is classed as a 'Pleasure Craft!

It is now heading up the Thames, maybe they are stopping for a Kebab in town!

The Missus has been doing her Master Class today so we will be on guard up at the window waiting for OTL to bring her back home!

Tomorrow we are expecting visitors so Holly and I are supposed to be on our best behaviour, as if!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Fighting Ferret and a Soggy Doggy!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's Friday and the F1 Racing practice is on today!

The temperature has dropped a bit so both sets of ferrets got a walk today.

Miss May had fun digging a trench and Miss April even had a go at shovelling the sand with her nose!

OK, I'll start a trench here!

Miss April even got down from the bag and trotted back to the car, with many stops along the way.

With her heart condition she gets out of breath and needs to have a rest every so often, but, she gets there in the end even if she holds us all up!

May got a bit fed up with all the waiting and decided to tell me, in Ferret Speak, not to tread on her, which I did and she gave me a nip on the back leg!

I yelped and turned around to give her a nip but Old Two Legs shouted at me, and I didn't!

Next time I'll be quicker!

That Miss May is a bit of a pickle. When we got home the first thing she did was to race up to Wendy and tried to beat her up, through the cage bars! OTL tells her off and shows her the 'Naughty Cage'!

Not that it has a lot of effect 'cos she is back trying to tear the cage apart to get to Wendy!

That's when OTL picks May up and into the 'Naught Cage' she goes to spend some time thinking on her naughtiness!

OK, I've had a think, now can I go back to fighting again?

 Some ferrets never learn!

Lunchtime the tide was in so OTL brought the rubber ball for us to play with.

It was offered to Freddy to start off with but he said he was more interested in digging, that was until the wave came roaring up the beach and soaked his tail!

OK, so it's not fully 'High Tide' yet!

Wendy was a bit further up the beach and offered Freddy a dig in her sand hole but Freddy was too interested in shouting at the waves to 'Ferret Off'!

...................and you can take your surf with you!

 Holly Chops stayed up on the Sea Wall and was shaking her head in disbelief at the ferret antics!

First the ferrets and now just look at Drippy Daisy!

I was having a great time, OTL was throwing the ball and I was splashing about chasing the ball!

Like yesterday, in the end I was getting a bit out of breath, so I decided to take the ball back up the beach and leave it be the Sea Wall to dry off!

OK, this is the last time!

Back home we had Lambs Heart for dinner and both Holly and I finished the bowl off! We always get a treat when we do that and today we got a Teeth Cleaning Chew each.

I managed to pinch Holly's while she was trying to mug a Bonio Biscuit, but I got caught and had to give it back, which was not the idea!

She had better eat it up or I'll get it again!


Holly was saying that we are going to get our first dose of anti Tick stuff so when we head off to Izzy Land we won't be troubled by the nasty's!

Trouble is, the first dose always make my back itch!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April  Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret (with a wet tail!)

A Wet and Soggy Doggy!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, we started off with seeing something rather strange in the sky!

It was a circular rainbow!

Now we have seen straight ones and curved ones but never a round one!

Could it be a Doughnut?

 Miss May asked if it was a Super Nargle coming into land but Old Two Legs said it was just water and sunlight...............a bit boring really!

...........but it might be a Nasty Nargle!

We had some fun on the beach and Miss April even managed a little walk back towards the car!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again and were keeping an eye open for Mike, Sue and young Daisy but we seemed to miss them!

I got my swim and OTL was very good at throwing the ball in the water 'cos he spotted where I have been for a roll in some seriously sniffy poo!

He kept me running about until it all got washed off!

What do you mean 'I missed a bit'?

 I was backwards and forwards loads of times and I was getting a bit puffed out!

Gawd! Just how many more times?

 In the end I had enough and instead of dropping the ball at OTL's feet I legged it off up the Sea Wall and dropped it in the grass!

I never thought I would say I've had enough!

Mike, Sue and Daisy came back to our house for a cup of tea and to say hello to the ferrets who just managed to stay awake long enough to say hello!

Did you know that today is the first day of Autumn? Well it is and we haven't even finished Summer yet, I mean, we still have our holiday to go on!

Se you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Still no Ball but, You can't beat a good swim!

Hello Woofers!

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

Miss May is desperate to find the rubber ball we buried a few days ago, we have been digging holes all over the beach and now it looks like the surface of the Moon!

Well, I can't sniff it and I'm not going any further down!

I started on another hole and there was May, sticking her nose in and telling me how to dig holes!

OK, OK, Now pat the sides!

In the end Holly and I gave up and headed back to the car!

Miss April decided she didn't want to stay in the bag and she didn't want to walk, so she settled down in the crook of Old Two Legs arm and watched the world go by!

Lunchtime Wendy and Fred came out with us and in their Ferret Bag was another rubber ball, the one from a couple of days ago!

I was in the water chasing it while Freddy stood by the shore waiting for me to come back with it!

You know Freddy even managed to get his paws wet when the wave crashed onto the bit of beach where he was standing!

This is just Super!!!

We headed back to the car but when OTL stopped for a little girl to give Wendy a stroke, I headed off to the water again for another swim!

OTL gave a whistle, but I took no notice and carried on pretending there was a stick out there for me to find!

OTL put Holly and the ferrets back into the car and made sure they all had a drink, then came hunting for me!

There I was, having a little slosh about when these two Bozo Woofers came running along the beach towards me!

Scary!

OTL seemed to know them and called to them in his 'Doggy Voice'. They stopped being interested in me and instead went off to see OTL who gave them both a tickle behind their ears, just to show that we were all friends!

They weren't my friends, but at least OTL took their attention away from me!

Then I was back on the lead and marched back to the car!

I got a rub down with one of our Doggy Towels and then again when I got home!

It was time to find a snoozing position for all of us, except OTL who is finishing off the bathroom floor. Well, someone has to do it!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Bozo's and Buzzy Things!

Hi Woofers!

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

It has been rather warm today, first thing it wasn't too bad but lunchtime it was just too hot to take Fred and Wendy out so they have been snoozing their tails off in the shade of Old Two Legs office!

It was a bit misty first thing and Holly said it wasn't mist, it was 'Heat Haze'.

Whatever it was, it was fuzzy around the edges!

Fuzzy or Hazy?

 Miss May decided to have a dig and see if she found the ball, which she didn't!

You never know, I might get lucky!

Now, on the 7th September the chimney stack from the Grain Power Station is due to be demolished with a ton and a half of Gelignite, which should either make it fall over or down or send it into space!

We made OTL stop by the side of the road to take this shot just for old times sake!

Not long now!

 OTL has been busy with paperwork 'cos it is coming to the end of the month. He says it is dead boring and is glad when it is finished!

Lunchtime it was too hot for Fred and Wendy so Holly and I got a run on the beach without having to wait for the ferrets to catch us up!

Well, first thing we did was to bump into a right hairy Bozo of a woofer!

Going by the name of Kyle, this 'ere woofer just wanted to take my stick away from me every time OTL threw it into the sea for me to chase!

I say, that looks like a nice stick!

What this Bozo didn't realise was that no one comes between my stick and me!

This Bozo lunged at the stick just as I got to shore but instead of a stick all it got was a row of Barred Fangs too close to it's nose!

Gissyastickshorty!

Well, I don't suppose the Bozo had ever had a telling off like wot it got when it tried to grab my stick but let's say that I wasn't troubled any more!

That's a Bozo Taught a lesson!

 We moved off down the beach to where it was a bit quieter and not so many woofers. Holly was enjoying herself by sitting on the beach catching a few rays while I chased a ball about that OTL had found on the beach!

This is the life!

 These tennis balls are a little hard to grab with my ting mouth and there are sometimes when I have to drive it under the water to get my teeth around it!

I don't mind putting my head under water but it is a bit of a pain when the water goes up your nose!

I wonder if I could breath through my ears?

 When we had finished OTL hid the ball under the grass so we can find it tomorrow, unless some lucky woofer finds it before me!

One thing about a swim that I do enjoy is getting dry on the grass. Rolling around and drying all the drips off my back plus a good wriggle in the flowers is just perfect!

Wriggling Good Fun!

 As we got close to the car park OTL spotted a fly resting on a leaf. It was a golden brown colour so he reckon it was worth at least one photograph, which was just as well 'cos the noise of the shutter scared it off!

Just Buzzing around!

We decided to have a snooze this after noon 'cos The Missus was making such a noise clearing out the shed. She reckons to have cleared at least fifty spiders out of there not to mention the bikes and old fishing rods and tackle!

We all had to stand there with the door open and go Ooooo! and Arrrrrrrr! and say wot a wunderful job she has made of it!

Now let's see what sort of job she does with out dinner!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

We Got a Ball But No Water!

Hi Woofers!

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

It has been a bit cooler here today in North Kent. The good thing is that there is no rain!

Old Two Legs was up late this morning so we all got another half an hours snoozing time!

That meant we missed all the lads on the Sea Wall but we did get some time to play in the sand!

I was sure I remembered where I'd left the ball so Holly and I joined together to form a 'Two Woofer Digging Machine' and we showed Miss May how we can shift sand! 

Yeah, OK, but have you found the ball yet?

 Holly and I dug three holes, one where I thought the ball was and one where Holly thought it was and just to keep her quiet, one where May said it was but......................

It ain't here either, is it?

In the end we all gave up looking and Miss April, from the comfort of the ferret bag, said that were it not glued on properly we'd all more than likely loose our tails!

Going on our results, she's more than likely right!

The tide was coming in but we decided to go home 'cos OTL is still working on the bathroom floor and we are learning new technical words that OTL uses when the tile gets put down and pointing the wrong way!

Lunchtime it was Fred and Wendy's turn down on the beach.

The tide had come in and was now retreating at speed towards the horizon!

Not that it worried us 'cos we had more time for digging!

No water to swim in!

 Holly and I got going on another hole but were not very successful in our Ball Hunt.

This is getting embarrassing!

 Then we heard Freddy call out, 'Guess Wot We Found?'

There he was with the ball!

Look Wot I Got!

That was just too much, a blooming ferret digging a hole and finding our ball! Holly noticed it first and asked where the hole was that the ball came from?

Freddy said he had filled it back in 'cos it was dangerous to leave a hole that deep on the beach where anyone could fall in and never be seen again!

I started to smell a rat or better still, a ferret rat!

The ball was all clean and dry and looking too new!

Me? Sneaky Ferret? Never!

No matter how hard he tried Freddy just couldn't keep a straight face and we could see by his twitching whiskers that he was up to his tricks again!

It seems that OTL got the ball out of the ferret toy box, took the squeaker out and tucked it into the ferret bag. Wendy found it when she wriggled into the bag and sat on it. It didn't squeak, so she told Freddy who decided to play a trick on Holly and me!

Crafty little ferrets!

Now wot's all this about Grubby Butts? Getting rushed off to the vets late at night is seriously bad!

When OTL decides to take Holly to the vet we get a syringe full of stuff called  Pro Kolin+which sort of  bungs you up until you tummy settles down, mind you, OTL has to squirt the prescribed dose down our mouth by squirting it down the back of our jaw!

You know Holly actually likes the taste and licks it off OTL's finger!

I hate it, so I get the squirty treatment!

Yuk!

Best of luck Archie Babe and just to let you know The Missus heard a frog croaking in our pond the other morning when she got up early!

Who knows, we may see one soon!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Wet Butt and No Ball

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what have you been getting up to today?

It's Bank Holiday Weekend and everyone seems to want to get away for a few days holiday. They all crowd onto the road and sit in traffic jams for hours!

Down here we did one better, we got a lorry that knocked a foot bridge down, closing the motorway for a day or two. There was an enormous traffic jam and it was on the main route to the channel crossing!

We stayed at home!

I had an early morning swim while Holly got her butt washed by Old Two Legs 'cos it was all grubby!

I gotta 'Self Cleaning Butt'!

Holly don't like water, Holly don't like being stood with her back legs in the sea, Holly don't like having OTL wash her grubby butt with the cold water!

Wot is worse, Holly don't like a ferret spotting that Holly has a grubby butt and then telling OTL so he can wash Holly's butt clean!

Look! She got a Grubby Butt!

Little Miss April stayed out of it and had a small dig in the sand until the excitement died down!

Leave me out of it, I'm happy in the sand!

 So, in the end Holly got a damp butt and I got soaked to the skin!

We headed back home 'cos OTL has been working on the bathroom floor, putting new tiles down. He says it is so fiddly and all that crawling around on his knees makes him tired!

Any excuse to sit down for a rest!

Lunchtime there was some rain, not much, 0.6mm according to OTL's 'Weather Station' but it was wet enough make Holly think about staying indoors, especially if she is going to get another grubby butt!

Well, the rain stopped and Holly's butt stayed clean!

Rain clouds over Sheerness!

 Now, yesterday I lost my rubber ball 'cos I dug a hole that was so deep the ferrets wouldn't go in and get the ball!

Today they offered to dig around to see if they could find it, providing they could have a game of 'Fetch the Ball' when they dug it up.

We want have a game with it, OK?

Well, they dug down into the sand and with the pair of them, Wendy and Freddy, going strong it wasn't too long before they dug a hole to be proud of!

It was as deep as the hole where we buried the ball yesterday, the only trouble is, they dug it in the wrong place!

Well, it 'aint here!

 Mind you, I couldn't remember where I dug the hole, so it looks like that ball has gone for good now. I'll just have to bring one of the other balls tomorrow, it is going to be difficult choosing the right one!

Yeah, I'll make sure it is a 'Ferret Size' ball, OK?

These ferrets are getting so bossy nowadays!

OK, what is all this 'did you sing a happy anniversary song to Mrs Sue and Mr Mike?' ??

We knew nothing about anniversaries and it wasn't until we checked with The Missus who has access to FaceAche and she said it was their Golden Anniversary.

So, better late than never...............................Happy Anniversary!

Tomorrow OTL will be trying to finish off the flooring so that means Holly and I get a chance to have a snooze while watching him work!

Life's good like that!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

My Ball has Gone!

Hello Woofers!

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

It has been another hot day down here in North Kent!Not as hot as yesterday but still it is one of those days when a shady spot in the garden is the best place for a woofer to be!

We started off with our morning stroll on the beach and this morning May and April came with us. May was full of beans 'cos she hasn't been out for a day or so and she had a bit of energy to burn off!

...................are we there yet?

 Little April decided to stay in the ferret bag 'cos there was no way she would be able to keep up with May!

I took a look at the sea and decided it was just too rough for any swimming today, a paddle maybe but no swimming!

I'd rather dig some holes today!

 May said she was up for a hole dig and we both started to throw some sand about!

.......then I just pat it down around the sides!

 As we headed back to the car May and I discussed the fine points of digging holes and she was saying that she could dig a tunnel if the ground was firm enough which is something I hadn't tried before.

The secret is to use your hips to pat the sides as you go!

 Back home the ferrets had a good rampage around the house while Old Two Legs did his 'Poo Shovelling' duties! When he had finished he was allowed to have a game with Wendy and Freddy.

They both enjoy having OTL turn them on their backs and tickle their tummies! Freddy always laughs his tail off and grabs OTL's finger and gives it a cheeky nibble!

Lunchtime it wasn't so hot so OTL decided that Fred and Wendy could go with Holly and me to the beach.

I was telling them about May and our hole digging fun. The tide was right out so I couldn't play 'Chase The Ball' in the water but OTL got the ball out and tossed it down the beach.

Freddy chased after it and I let him get to it first 'cos he doesn't often get to play chase on the beach!

I'll Get It, I'll Get It!

Then he ran back up the beach and gave it to OTL to throw again!

OK, back to OTL!

 This time OTL rolled it right the way down to the sea weed and rocks and Freddy raced after it!

I remember when he first came to live with us and when OTL took him out walking he just stood still, amazed at all the green and open spaces!

Now look at him!

I got it! I got it!

Finally I got to it and with Holly's help we dug a deep hole and hid it down the bottom!

We told Freddy that he could find it tomorrow when he comes back on the next walk!

OK, just press the sand down on top of it!!

When we got back to the car we all had a drink and Freddy reminded me that it was my ball I'd buried and not one of his!

I hadn't realised that!

My ball is gone!

You know the first thing I'll be doing tomorrow when I get onto the beach!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

We've been looking for camels!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's been another boiling hot day here in North Kent! The Missus said she heard thunder in the distance last night but no one else did!

There was some damp patches on the patio this morning when we looked but as Holly said, 'It could have been Sparrow Wee!'

The warm weather didn't stop us going out for a walk along the beach and today we took Fred and Wendy with us 'cos they didn't get a walk yesterday.

We met up with all the 'Lads' and young Marley ran ahead of all the gang to get his Tum Tickle from Old Two Legs!

When your ready OTL!

There is one thing about Marley, he sure knows how to pose!

Holly and I spent a really lazy morning in the shade by the pond. The jar OTL fitted up with a supply of water that pours out of the jar was making tinkling sounds as the water poured into the pond which is OK to begin with but after a time it just reminds you that you need a wee and it's time to go out again!

Lunchtime we left May and April at home 'cos it was just too hot for ferrets. They were having a great time snoozing on the frozen blocks OTL had put under their beds!

OTL says that what with all this 'Global Warming' if it gets any hotter we will find herds of camels roaming about with sad faces. Why they should have sad faces rather confussed us until OTL explained that camel have two humps and anyone who has the hump has a sad face!

Yeah, well, if they get anywhere near my chews I'll get the hump as well!

Down on the beach we saw another Ro-Ro Car Transporter floating off to sea and it was Holly who called out 'Look! Floating Brick!'

Another floating brick off to Hamburg!

 The tide had got out so I didn't get a swim but I did find some water coming out of the drain, it was right whiffy and I decided to keep well away!

That sniffs horrid!

We have been looking for a good place to photograph the chimney when is gets blown up or rather down!

They have been knocking holes in the bottom of the chimney so we reckon it will be pretty exciting when it does go. OTL says that someone told him it will come down on the seventh September at nine in the morning but OTL reckons he needs confirmation before getting all the camera gear out!

TM has been given the job of searching FaceAche for information!

We have spotted TM taking sausages out of the freezer so it looks like 'Bangers and Mash' tonight, Yum Yum!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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