A Super Lazy Sunday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret reporting again!

It has been a super day today, it started off with Old Two Legs getting up early, that means we are down the beach early so we catch the sunrise. Only, we didn't 'cos we were down there before the sun got up and we were away over the hill before it climbed above Sheerness!

So all OTL got was the 'Pre-Glow' , so it wasn't too bad!

We beat the sun today!

 The only real problem with the morning walk was I lost the ball!

OTL kicked the ball up the beach and I ran after it and dug a big hole to put it in, then Holly and I had a game of 'Chase' up and down the beach until we noticed that OTL and the ferrets were half way up the grass path and heading for the car!

Off we went like Rocket Powered Puppy's to catch them up, forgetting the ball that was at the bottom of a sand hole!

When we came back at lunchtime it had gone, the hole and the ball!

We spotted a 'Wormy Man' coming back from the mud but his bucket didn't seem too full of worms, maybe he has had a bad day. Mind you, if he had a bad day then the worms had a good day!

Half a dozen worms, that is all!

 The clouds were slowly bringing the night back, it is strange to see the night creep back after such a sunny day!

The night creeping in and it's only three fifteen!

We woofed at a couple of woofers who were too far away to be of any danger and then chased after OTL and the ferrets who by now had reached the Grass Path at the top of the hill!

The clouds were rolling in just like a thunder storm and we all agreed it was getting dark!
  

The sun is poking out but it is still dark over the river!

So, a lost ball but a relaxing day. Holly has spent some time on the sofa with her legs stretched out straight and looking like she was flying like Super Man!

Tomorrow OTL is going to make an appointment with the vet to get Eric 'Done'! It should be done before the end of this month 'cos after that the 'Breeding Season' starts and he might just start to get a bit Whiffy and we don't want Whiffy Ferrets in the office while OTL is trying to work!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

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

A Quiet Saturday.

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret here.

Well, not a lot to report today. We were up early 'cos The Missus had to take all her stuff up to the village hall for the Master Class today.

So, off we went while it was still dark and misty and with just a hint of rain in the air.

Down on the beach it was all grey and misty as well, not the most exciting dawn we have seen this week!

Not very awe inspiring is it?

Back home it was cage cleaning and finishing off the last bits of paperwork left over from the past week.

May and Eric had a great time rampaging about the house and kicking the ping pong balls all over the place. When they had finished it was Fred and Wendy's turn to have some fun.

As well as playing 'Tickle Tums' with Old Two Legs they spent time exploring the kitchen and all the places where our treats are kept.

OTL was up stairs in the office when he heard a whirling sound like an electric thingy working. So, off went OTL to find out what was making the noise. Now the Washing Machine and the Dishwasher don't have 'Delayed Starts' on them so he was looking at the Bread Making Engine or maybe a Food Mixer that might have gone off but when he got to the kitchen he found the electric carpet sweeper going full blast!

It seems that one of the ferrets had jumped down off the shelf where the treats are kept and landed on the 'Start' button on the sweeper and off it went!

Of course, neither of the ferrets would admit to starting the sweeper but OTL thinks it could be Miss Wendy!

Lunchtime  we we back on the beach again and nothing had changed, it was still grey and misty!

Inspiring?

Well, not the best shot he has taken!

We spotted some branches that were covered in Lichen that looked good against the dull weather, so we suggested a shot, just to brighten up the blog!

The other colours are green and black!

 Freddy and Wendy spent some time sniffing around on the beach but in the end had to give up 'cos there just were not the sniffs around!

I must say, this is a bit boring, not even a Weasel Wee!

Back home we got our monthly dose of anti flea stuff that OTL puts on our shoulders. OTL will have to get some for the ferrets this week 'cos he has run out of the stuff.

That means we will get some nibbles if we go with him 'cos he has to go to the Doggy Shop to get the anti flea stuff!

Yum! Yum!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret

Hello Friday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret here.

You know wot? Just a moment ago it was Monday and just look where we are now!

We were up early this morning, well I was, you see I had lost my Bonio Biscuit and I thought Holly might have pinched it, so I went on a 'Safari' around the bed looking for it!

First I stuck my nose under Holly but all I got was a grumble from her! I then went to see if The Missus was nibbling it but instead it was her snoring!

The last place I looked was Old Two Legs but he never pinches my biscuit 'cos his teeth are wobbly and crunching a Bonio needs strong teeth!

So, I stuck my nose in his ear and asked him if he had seen my Bonio and could he help me find it?

OTL woke up quickly and told me I had eaten it when I came to bed and as it was two thirty he wasn't going to get me another one!

Well, actually I've changed a couple of words 'cos he tends to use 'colourful' words when it is still dark and he has a wet nose in his ear!

Finally, it was time to get up and as it was six on the clock I went hunting again. In the end I found my biscuit under OTL's pillow, just where I had left it last night!

Our morning walk down on the beach wasn't as cold as yesterday, even though OTL had to scrape ice off the windscreen of the car.

We saw the sun climb over Sheerness!

Good Morning World!

 Holly and I went on a 'Sniff Hunt' and found some frosty sniffs that we reckon were left over from yesterday!

Well, the sea hasn't got as far as this to wash the beach!

OTL had to go out to the carrier so Holly and I decided to wait at home for him to return for our Lunch Time Walk.

Back he cam but it was raining, not much but wet anyway!

So, armed with our Doggy Towel we headed towards the beach!

Lucky for us the rain stopped by the time we got to the beach so Holy and I had a game of 'Dig and Whizz' which I won!

I whizzed so fast you couldn't see me!

 Heading back we spotted a hairy looking woofer, on his own, looking at us!

Well, we didn't like the way he was looking at us so we stood there and returned the stare.

Holly said we should do a 'Big Woof' and see what he does, so we did but he still stood there!

Then he blinked, well he sat down and scratched his ear. That was enough for us and we rushed over to him and we all had a Three Way Sniff!

Wadda You reckon, lets rush him and have a sniff!

It fun meeting other woofers for a sniff but you have to be careful!

Some of them can be bigger than you!

Back home we enjoyed an afternoon snooze in OTL's office while he cleared up all the bits of paper on his desk, all ready for the weekend!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Freddy leaves his mark!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's Thursday already!

It was too cold to take the ferrets this morning so while we were out down the beach May and Eric were rampaging all over the house.

The Missus kept an eye on them 'cos she was catching up with the ironing.

Not that it worried Eric as he chased Miss May all over the place!

We were heading to the beach when Old Two Legs took a picture of the sunrise, behind the power station chimneys.

Steamy or Wot!

The Beach Photo was a bit dark 'cos the sun was right up so everything looked dark, a chance for OTL to get artistic?

Well, maybe not!

We met up with Marley who we haven't seen since before Christmas, he came charging up the hill to give OTL a cuddle then he was off back to his Two Legs who was calling him!

Just had a cuddle with OTL!

Holly and I are not really sure about Marley, you see it was OK when he was a small puppy but since he has grown up a bit he has got very large. We have a sniff but most of the time we stay away and let him and OTL get on with it!

Just how long is he going to be?

In the end Holly and I went off to the beach and found some Weasel Wee but it was old 'cos it was frozen!

Gawd! That's rock hard!

Lunchtime saw OTL working hard in the office getting some orders packed up for shipment tomorrow. Holly and I were down stairs having a snooze on the sofa while Eric was allowed out of his cage for a rampage around the office.

He on the desk where OTL had printed up the orders and some delivery notes.

Eric was blagging some Ferretone and a bit of chicken strips when he saw OTL opening the chicken strip bag, he got all excited at the thought of some more treats and did a wee over the orders and delivery notes!

Eric had left his mark!

That was it, he was back in his cage and heading towards the bed!

It was good to see the pictures of the puppies yesterday, they certainly have put on some weight!

Holly's Grumbly Tum is better, not fully better but better and she is still on the medicine.

Tomorrow we hear that it will be cold but over the weekend it should be a lot warmer, which is OK as far as Eric is concerned 'cos he says that running along in the frosty ground ended up with him getting a cold tummy!

So, claws crossed, he will get a good run this weekend and even some digging on the beach!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Here comes the rain!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, after the cold day yesterday when the temperature dropped below freezing, today it has been different, rain!

Mind you, the temperature is now up to six degrees, so the rain will stay as rain and not fall as snow, well, down South anyway, where we are!

So, instead of introducing the ferrets to a drop of snow, we all end up with soggy paws and damp tummies!

We know some woofers that have yet to experience all these things, Izzy's pups. All they know at the moment is food, sleep, wee, poo, food, sleep, wee, poo, etc!

I can almost remember when I was a pup and I always seemed to have a full tum!

Happiness is a full tummy!

Holly Chops says that you don't have to be a puppy to enjoy a full tummy and she should know!

We left Old Two Legs working away to catch up with some orders he has had in since the New Year.

Holly and I crashed out in his office and Holly showed off 'cos Miss Wendy came to the side of the cage that Holly was resting against and did a whacking great sniffy poo, just by Holly's ear!

Holly was not a happy woofer!

Mind you, Miss Wendy didn't care!

Lunchtime we went out walking along the beach and OTL left the ferrets in bed 'cos it was a little windy and on top of that we had some errands to do, like take stuff to the carriers, visit B&Q for a light bulb for OTL's clothes cupboard.

Of course all that is sort of close'ish to the Doggy Shop!

Yep! In we went and loaded up with our treats and some stuff for the ferrets and a bottle of disinfectant for the ferrets cage and any spots around the house where they may have an 'accident'!

So, that's our day, we are slowly getting back to work and Holly's tum is getting better, she is taking the ProKolin which sort of 'Bungs You Up' until your butt is better!

She also says that the pills are great when cut in half and mixed up with some creamy blue cheese and spread over a water biscuit!

Just how I like it too!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Brass Monkey Weather!

Hi Woofers!

We're back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

It has been terrible today!

This morning it was freezing, like, so cold that Old Two Legs let the ferrets stay at home while Holly and I froze our tails off on the beach!

Both sets of ferrets got let off the beach run today. I'm not too sure if OTL was feeling sorry for them or he just didn't want to hang about waiting for them to finish rummaging around in the frozen grass!

Can you imagine what will happen if the Snow Fairy visits!

You know, it was so cold that OTL left his camera in the car, put on his big gloves and said it was 'Brass Monkey Weather'!

Back home we came across the man from the garage who had come to collect the big car for a service. OTL reckons there should me nothing too expensive to repair this time, but he was keeping his claws crossed!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again and there, on the beach, tucked under the Sea Wall was a female Two Legs, sitting on the shells, back against the wall reading a news paper, The Sun!

There is always one you can meet!

OTL said 'Hello' and she just looked at him and mumbled something which OTL reckons was 'Clear Orf'!

No, I didn't understand her either!

 We left her sitting there trying to  get either a tan or frostbite!

Holly managed to develop a Grumbly Tum over the last couple of days and today it got to the stage where OTL had to take her to the vets!

My butt don't feel too good!

At home, OTL gave her butt a wipe and kept it as a 'Sample' for the vet. He needn't have bothered 'cos when Holly arrived at the vets, in the middle of the waiting room, she let go a pile on the floor!

Well, it wasn't a pile really 'cos it sort of went 'Splat' and stayed there until the vet came out.

'Aha! I see wot the problem is' says the vet, sharpening up a stabbing needle and he gave Holly a dose of antibiotic into her shoulder and sent OTL off with some tablets and that ProKolin wot bungs you up!

OTL was weeping again at the size of the bill and said he was seriously considering getting a muzzle for Holly Chops to stop her eating anything other than what The Missus gives her!

Just for now though,  Holly has the same dustbin sized pills I had and the ProKolin stuff.

I can see Holly going off for an early night tonight 'cos as she says, she has a 'Sore Butt'!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

The Last Day of Christmas, sort of!

Hi Woofers!

Us here, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

Well, here it is, the last day of the holiday and we are making the most of it!

We have left Old Two Legs to finish of his paperwork before tomorrow.

This morning we were up at the proper time and managed to get down to the Sea Wall just as the sun was getting up.

Good Morning Sun Shine!

It was a bit windy which made it colder than yesterday but warmer than it is going to be tomorrow!

We have been watching the weather forecast and see that overnight the temperature is due to go down as low as five degrees below freezing!

I can see our fleece jackets will be worn tomorrow and if it's too cold the ferrets will stay in bed!

May and Eric didn't mind the cold this morning 'cos as soon as they hit the beach they are charging off towards the grass where they both enjoy a good 'Ferret Around' to see what is hiding under the grass!

It was different at lunch time. Fred and Wendy were a little sleepy after rampaging around the house and of course after a drink of Lactose Free Milk, some Chicken Strips, a few Nodules from the dog bowl and stuffing their chops full of Brambles Biscuits, all they wanted to do was sleep it all off!

OTL insisted they get some exercise and both spent most of the walk chasing OTL to get back in the bag again!

Holly and I had our normal sniff around the beach and of course we both had a good woof at a passing visitor who was on a lead!

Hey! Look a Bozo on a lead!

OTL said we were both hooligans!

We like being hooligans!

Izzy has sent some pictures of the pups and although the focus is a bit fuzzy, they still look gorgeous!

You know they have doubled their weight already!

 I said that they are doing what Holly does, double her weight after eating dinner!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Oh No! Not Another One!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret right at the start of another year!

We didn't stay up until midnight to see the new year in 'cos The Missus was tired and fell asleep at eight, so we packed her off to bed!

The ferrets were fast asleep as soon as it got dark. Holly and I had mugged Old Two Legs for half his dinner, so, we had full tummies and just didn't have the energy to stay awake and finally, OTL had been chewing on some shortbread and a little 'Water of Life' to help wash it down!

He managed ten fifteen before deciding that bed would be a good option!

It was sunrise before we got up this morning!

Now, the man from the Premium Bond people hasn't knocked on our door today so it looks like OTL will have to go back to work tomorrow!

This morning he went to his clothes cupboard to find a shirt, switched the light on which immediately  went 'Pop' and refused to work any more!

That was it, OTL got the right hump, in the thirty years we have been in this house that is the second bulb to blow in his cupboard and what is worse, they don't make the bulbs any more!

It was still sort of foggy out to sea today and there was rain threatened but we didn't see any more than a couple of rain drops that didn't even register on the weather monitor thingy in OTL's office!

A poor sunrise and foggy as well, not the best start to the New Year!

The ferrets, May and Eric had some fun in the grass after getting off the beach and Eric asked for a carry. OTL picked him up and was rubbing the side of his neck when he felt a small lump!

OTL knows all about lumps and announced that it felt like a 'Tick'!

Eric doesn't know what a Tick is and he did a wriggle when OTL went back for another feel. By now the lump had moved and OTL found it again, just as Eric went into 'Wriggle Mode' again!

That was it, Eric got held by the scruff as OTL did a more detailed examination, only to find the lump had fallen off.

No Tick, just a bit of rubbish picked up from rummaging in the grass! Lucky Ferret!

Lunchtime the world and his wife were out walking along our Sea Wall, loads of woofers and Two Legs with Mini Two Legs.

Of course, almost everyone stopped and wanted to see the ferrets, have a stroke of the ferrets, talk about ferrets and ask Daddy if they can have as a pet!

Boring or wot!

Holly and I had a game of 'Chase' on the beach but no one asked about us, just the blooming ferrets!

Look, I've just buried a ferret!

Holly pretended she had buried another ferret but no one took any notice all they wanted to do is stroke the ferrets in OTL's arms!

When we got home the ferrets were straight into their cage and were asleep in three minutes!

So Holly and I joined them and crashed out on our day beds!

Tomorrow it's Back to Work, so OTL will be working away at the pile of paper on his desk.

Holly and I will be sleeping!

Who said it was a dogs life!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Bye Bye 2016!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret here to say Bye Bye to this year.

January this year Miss April first went to the vet 'cos she wasn't as well as she could be and got diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy! That is a heart condition and she needed medicine to keep down the fluid that was building up in her body.

 She was a very brave ferret and tried to join in all the games but she often got tired and needed a carry or some rest.

Miss Wendy had an operation on her tummy to stop her having babies and the vet did a super job 'cos her scar was very small, not like the one that I had when I had my tummy done!

We had a super time in May up in Scotland and Old Two Legs took us all over the place visiting new beaches and climbing all over the rocks!

The Ladies at the Allhallows Croppers kindly helped finance an operation on Rufus, a ferret that got handed into the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and we were told he is now fully recovered and living life to the full!

A Super Big Licky Kiss to all the  Croppers for that.

It was a super summer with loads of sunshine and swimming!

I don't think I have had so much swimming in my life! I managed to get Holly Chops in for a paddle but as normal, she declined to go any further in than her paws!

Early in September we lost Miss April, she had a heart attack on her way back from a walk on the beach, a sad day for us all.

Towards the end of October Miss May went off to Harrietsham Ferret Rescue to be introduced to some ferrets and after a few scuffles, she came back home with a young ferret called Eric de Ferret!

Well, it took a little while before they settled down with each other but now they are inseparable and playing all the time!

We got news of Izzy and her three pups, a super Christmas present.

Young Archie Babe has kept us informed on the goings on in his kennel and how he sufferers at the hands of the Poodle Parlour and we reckon he has paid more to the vet this year than Holly, the ferrets and me all together!

Talking of vets.

Eric has got to go for an operation next early year to stop him chasing the ladies! We haven't told him yet 'cos OTL didn't want to spoil his Christmas!

OTL says he is going to 'Get a Quote' from our vet.

It has been amazing just how warm the Autumn has been and even Winter, so far, if this carries on like this we may cancel Winter all together!

Mind you, we still have January and February to get through yet!

So, as we finish 2016 everyone is in good health, the ferrets are all cuddly, Holly and I get and give cuddles every night.

The Missus is looking forward to a super holiday in Texas with her mates and OTL has booked holidays in Scotland and Dorset!

So far, next year looks like it's going to be a good one!

From all of us here to all of you out there.

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Loads of Luv,

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

A Yukky End to The Year!

Hi Woofers!

We're here again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret!

We haven't seen any more pictures of Mr Bo Jingles and his sisters but I suppose 'No News is Good News'!

Izzy must be a busy mum with three new puppies to look after!

It has been a horrid Grey Day today, foggy morning followed by a foggy afternoon and I suppose a foggy night!

We were looking at the weather forecast and it seems there is some cold stuff heading down the North Sea towards us!

It's all blue and has arrows pointing down at us!

According to Holy Chops, that means it will be windy and cold and all together not very nice'

I can see that the ferrets will be staying in bed instead of rampaging along The Sea Wall.

Lucky ferrets!

Today we couldn't see across to Sheerness but we did hear the 'Fog Horn' blasting away.

You know that horn really gets on you nerves!

We didn't hear any of the ships blasting away with their fog horns, so that means they are all tucked up in harbour or moored in the Thames Estuary waiting for a breeze to clear the fog!

I see No Ships!

 It has been a little warmer than yesterday but not really warm enough and the ferrets didn't want to hang about on the beach and would you believe that they all ran most of the way back to the car!

Come on Freddy, get yer tail in gear!

Back home we had some 'Posh Scoff' waiting for us and of course Old Two Legs had to watch Holly to make sure she didn't eat my scoff as well as hers!

Tonight I'll be helping OTL to eat his dinner and Holly has already booked her seat!

It's a good job OTL doesn't get our scoff as well as his 'cos it will get very confusing!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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