Hello Woofers,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret here!
Terribly sad news today.
Miss April has gone.
We had been out for our morning walk and she enjoyed her 'carry' around either on Old Two Legs arm or sitting in his cupped hand and looking out of the ferret bag while we all investigated sniffs!
She got back into the Travelling Cage and we headed for home.
Some time during the journey she died of a heart attack. She has been poorly for a number of months and we knew she was on borrowed time.
On the last visit to the vet to get medicine, the vet seemed surprised to see her still alive!
She was a super little ferret and loved a cuddle with OTL and a game with her sister May.
Being a ferret, she was amazingly brave as I can confirm, there has been many times when she wanted to get past me and instead of going around, she came up and gave me a nip on my back leg which made me jump! I'm ten times the size of her but it didn't mean a thing to her, no one messes with Miss April!
She and her sister came to us from the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and settled in straight away. They both fought with Snowflake and Brambles, so they had to be kept in separate cages!
When Brambles and Snowflake passed away, they were replaced with Fred & Wilma.
War started before they got in the cage, so, two groups of ferrets became the norm in this house!
April was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy, which is a weak heart and just didn't have the energy to do much racing about but she still enjoyed teasing the other ferrets, from the safety of the outside of the cage.
She still enjoyed a gentle rough and tumble with her sister who seemed to know to be soft with her.
Of late, walking back to the car, Miss May would walk along side April, as if to give her support and comfort, just like a sister should do!
We are going to miss April, she was a super ferret and an Honorary Woofer!
She has now gone to rest in the garden with Snowflake, Brambles and Miss Wilma for company.
We of course will always say hello as we pass the flower pots and keep them all up to date with the happenings in the house.
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

Tarts R Us, but not for long!
Hi Woofers!
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and the amazing Freddy de Ferret here again!
Do you ever get one of those days that start of being a bit yuck and then, without any warning turn into a 'Gottcha' day?
Well, we have had one of those!
It started off this morning when we were rushed around our morning walk by Old Two Legs who seemed to be in some sort of hurry!
Have a sniff, lift yer leg and 'Come on Hurry up!'
I mean, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do but in her own time you know!
As we finished the walk I remembered, we are off to the Parlour for a hair cut!
So, nine on the dot we were standing outside the door listening to the woofers howling away in the kennels. Poor woofers, I'd hate to be left in one of those cages while my TL's went off enjoying themselves!
Then we got dragged in and, well it wasn't fun and we were glad when they telephoned The Missus to say we were ready to be collected!
OTL had been out for a couple of 'Meetings' and had plans for some 'Manufacturing' this after noon, so a lunchtime collection was OK by him!
Out we came at the speed of light, straight into the car and off we went down to the beach.
Now the 'Parlour' not only cuts our hair but they trim out claws and give us a real good soaking in a tin bath full of smelly suds. I mean, we come out sniffing like a Tarts Handbag!
After collecting us we headed off to the beach for our lunchtime stroll on the beach and.....................
We got our own back and if we could have found some fox poo we would have given that a try as well!
However, there wasn't, so we didn't, but we might next time!
See you all tomorrow!
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.

Plawn Clackers, Giggle Juice and TM Tiddly Again and The Vets!
Hi Woofers!
Here we are, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!
Wot a Weekend!
Saturday was OK, nice and gentle and all snoozy but Sunday and today are worth telling about!
Now, you remember Alun and Glynis, Old Two Legs cousin and his wife? Well, Saturday evening TM got a telephone call from Alun who ordered up his breakfast from TM.
Nothing wrong with that but he wanted it served at seven in the morning!
Negotiations took place and in the end it was agreed that breakfast would be served between eight and eight thirty!
Of course, when they arrived Alun complained that the bread 'Soldiers' were too big to fit into the boiled eggs!
TM then instructed him on what he should do with the 'Soldiers'!
And so started a super couple of days!
we had a walk down on the beach and Alun tried to tell us what to do, like, stand in line and all wee at the same time!
Yeah! On yer bike!
OTL had some fun by moving so that it looks like the chimney was sitting on top of TM's head!
Us Woofers had fun digging holes and burying the rubber ball. Freddy asked if we could bury Wendy but in the end we decided that was not a good idea, especially as Wendy said she would catch us an bite our butts!
Now, yesterday, Saturday that is, I had a swim as well and was chasing the ball in and out of the water and I managed to swallow some of the water as I made a grab for the ball!
No real problem there but I did feel a little queasy when we got home and I retired to my bed in OTL's office.
While I was asleep I had this pain in my tummy and managed to wee all over the floor! OTL gave me a funny look as he cleared it up. I then followed him downstairs and felt the need for a cuddle so I snuggled down on his lap and fell asleep, that was until I did another wee!
OTL changed his shirt and made up a bed for me on the floor where I fell asleep again, until I did another wee!
OTL decided it was time to get a Vets view on what was happening but the vet was shut for the night. OTL sent an email to the group where he knows they open on a Sunday morning for a few hours.
So, Sunday morning, while Alun was trying to make his Eggy Soldiers work, OTL and I headed off for our appointment.
When we got there we were seen by the vet who normally sees us at the surgery near us!
That made me feel a little better but not by much!
You see I suffer from what OTL calls 'Blue Coat Syndrome' which means I get scared every time I see a vet 'cos that normally means I get stabbed or poked and pushed and pulled about!
Well, this time, after much questioning and fiddling with my bits, it was decided to leave it for a couple of days to see what happens and if I still carry on weeing in my sleep then it would be back to the vet on Monday (today). Luckily enough I seem to be OK today so no vets today, just an email to say I'm OK!
Now, back to TM and Alun and Glynis and the bottles of Giggle Juice!
After the visit to the vet we got home and TM decided to celebrate with a bottle of Bubbly! Of course Glynis had to help and Alun said he would stick to the chilled beer in the fridge!
OTL had a cup of tea, not because he was feeling unwell, it was because later on he had to drive down the the Chinese Takeaway to get the evening meal!
Well, the bottles kept on arriving at the table and OTL was kept busy opening them and TM and Glynis were slurping away and all the time were laughing and talking and laughing and drinking and getting sort of 'Wobbly'!
OTL and Alun went off to get the meal while the decks were cleared and more room made for more bottles!
We all had a super meal, we had chicken Chow Mein and King Prawns and Beef Chow Mein and Noodles and Rice and Prawns and Shrimps and Loads and Loads of Plawn Clackers!
Holly and I made right little pigs of ourselves!
Mind you, all of the TL's were doing the same!
Finally OTL got out a tin of Shortbread and started to nibble and of course when he nibbles shortbread what does he do? Yep! Out comes the Malt Whisky!
As OTL had no plans to drive any more he was having fun racing the Angels to the bottom of the whisky bottle!
It's one of his most favourite games!
Well, the Giggle Juice certainly worked and there were loads of giggles and OTL went Angel Hunting with the Fly Spray 'cos he had left the back doors ope and the lights had attracted loads of buzzy insects and Angels!
This morning we were late getting up!
OTL took us down the beach and we all got a little damp with the rain that had arrived!
The tide was out, so I didn't get a swim nor did I get one at lunchtime and OTL said I am banned from swimming for a week until my tummy settles down!
Back home Alun was playing games with Fred and Wendy with a Cat Tease which every one thought was great fun. Later, while OTL was cage cleaning Alun decided to play with Freddy again and was waving his finger above Freddy's head not realising that although Freddy looks like he has a tummy on him, he can still jump!
And jump he did!
Up he went, wrapped his front paws around Alun's arm and gave him a Ferret Kiss with his teeth!
Freddy's claws had dug into Alun's arm and had drawn a little blood! You know the wimp wanted a sticking plaster!
All that happens when OTL gets a Ferret Kiss is I give his wound a good lick and make it better!
We waved goodbye to Alun and Glynis as they headed off home with Alun still complaining about his arm, we should have told him that Freddy is trained to go for the throat, that will stop him teasing Freddy!
Lunchtime down on the beach the tide was out so there was loads of sand to dig in and I dug a good hole that Wendy decided to crawl into. That was until Holly came steaming along the beach, skidded and shoved loads of sand back into the hole, covering Wendy!
Well, she dug herself out and went looking for the culprit who had tried to bury her!
It wasn't me but Freddy and Holly as well as OTL were all suspects!
I must admit, it was very difficult to refrain from laughing at her as she came out of the hole all covered in sand!
It was then that we spotted a Light Ship out to sea. Now a Light Ship has no engine, well, why would it want one? I mean, once it gets to where it is going it is anchored to the sea bed and just sits there flashing its light!
We had a look on the computer program but couldn't see it on the screen, so maybe it was just shown as the ship that was doing the towing and there are loads of tugs running up and down the estuary, so it could be any one of them!
Back home to finish off today's work and get ready for tomorrow. OTL has got manufacturing and stuff to do plus take us to get our hair cut!
Busy, Busy, Busy!
See you all tomorrow!
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!

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

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! |
 |
| ...................and you can take your surf with you! |
 |
| First the ferrets and now just look at Drippy Daisy! |
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! |
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!

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!
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!
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!
I was backwards and forwards loads of times and I was getting a bit puffed out!
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!
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!
I started on another hole and there was May, sticking her nose in and telling me how to dig holes!
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!
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.
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! |
 |
| OK, OK, Now pat the sides! |
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!

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

| Fuzzy or Hazy? |
 |
| You never know, I might get lucky! |
We made OTL stop by the side of the road to take this shot just for old times sake!
 |
| Not long now! |

 |
| Gissyastickshorty! |
 |
| That's a Bozo Taught a lesson! |
 |
| This is the life! |
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? |
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! |
 |
| Just Buzzing around! |

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!
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......................
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!
Holly and I got going on another hole but were not very successful in our Ball Hunt.
Then we heard Freddy call out, 'Guess Wot We Found?'
There he was with the ball!
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!
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.

 |
| This is getting embarrassing! |
There he was with the ball!
 |
| Look Wot I Got! |
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!

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

 |
| Look! She got a Grubby Butt! |
 |
| Leave me out of it, I'm happy in the sand! |

 |
| We want have a game with it, OK? |
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! |
 |
| Yeah, I'll make sure it is a 'Ferret Size' ball, OK? |
