Foggy, Foggy Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret back with you again.

Wot a gloomy day it has been.

We got up late, looked out of the window and couldn't see the end of the road, too much fog!

It was better down on the beach but there was still too much fog to be able to see over to Sheerness!

I'm getting fed up with this  fog stuff!

 Mind you, I did see the Brant Geese again but they didn't hang about for a chat!

You know, Holly's given us a bad reputation!

There was one bird watcher we spotted but we were not too sure of what he was looking at 'cos there was just too much fog!

I spy with my little telescope, Fog!

Back home there was some Lambs Heart waiting, so we had a good excuse to stuff our chops and crash out on our Day Beds!

Lunchtime we were down on beach again with May and Eric.

Eric was having fun digging in the sea shells and rummaging around in some of the exposed roots of the Sea Kale.

Miss May on the other paw was charging around the beach.

Old Two Legs wanted to take a photo of me, just for Archie Babe, so I stood there striking pose.

OTL suddenly said, 'Watch, it'!

Watch Wot?

 Then she was there, a fast moving ferret going at Ferret Speed Mach Three!

 I just had time to move to the side as she screamed past me!

A Fast Flying Ferret!

It was like that, all the way home! Both May and Eric were running and sniffing along the grass path all the way back to the car park!

It was still foggy so rather than investigating the sniffs in the garden we all crept off to OTL's office and fell asleep on our Day Bed!

We know how to live!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Stone Walls are expensive!

Hi Woofers!

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

We were up late this morning, Old Two Legs didn't sleep too well, until it was time to get up!

It's strange how you always fall asleep just before you have to get up!

We were so late that everyone had been out for their walk and there was no one on the grass path or the beach! 

A little misty but not too cold!

Just for a change the frost wasn't so thick this morning and the wind had dropped right down to nothing!

Holly spotted some Brant Geese by the shore but as soon as Holly went to say 'Hello', they all flew off!

Watch it! There's that woofer again!

I think they remember that Holly Chops likes chicken!

Miss May and Eric came out with us 'cos they hadn't been out for some time and both of them needed a good run along the beach and up the hill.

Back home OTL set to cleaning up the cages and making it all tidy.

Lunchtime arrived and we were set to help OTL 'cos he had to go out and visit a customer and we were supposed to guard the car. Holly, after a jog along the sea wall, said she was in super condition the guard the car and she would woof off anyone who came close!

Come near our car and you're in deep poo!

After our walk we were getting ready to go when OTL's customer rang up and cancelled the meeting! Spoil sport, we were looking forward to a bit of woofing!

So, instead OTL headed off to places we had never been before!

Do you remember last holiday when our car got attacked by a Yorkshire Stone Wall?

Well, it managed to put a couple of scratches alongside the rear passenger door. OTL was not a Happy Puppy and he decided to fund the repair himself rather than through the insurance 'cos he reckons the insurance route would cost him a fortune.

Well, today was the day when he took a deep breath and walked into the menders and said he needed not only the door done but the bonnet as well where some one had scratched when we were up in Tobermory and also the scratches on the rear spoiler where he had scratched getting the ladders off the roof!

Three jobs in one go!

Well, out came the man and did wot OTL does when he has to price up a job, he looks at it, says Mmmm, then did a deep intake of air through his teeth which made it look like the job was more difficult than OTL imagined!

Yeah! We know all about that trick and while the man was looking at the car both Holly and I did a Gggrrrrrrrh! and the ferrets looked out of the cage and licked their lips!

The man got the message and in the end did OTL a good price!

I mean, it's more than his life's worth to try that trick on us!

So all has worked out well and we await a date to take the car in.

Not sure what we got for dinner today but I hope it will be tasty, I just fancy some Lambs Heart!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Not the best day!

Hello Woofers!

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

Old Two Legs had to leave the morning walk to The Missus today 'cos he had an appointment first thing.

TM has developed a stinker of a cold so we didn't have our normal game on the beach!

The ferrets have got the hump 'cos they haven't been allowed out for a run on the beach!

What is worse, OTL has come back home with the start of a cold!

That TM has got a lot to answer for!

So, today it's a couple of TL blowing raspberries into handkerchiefs!

It's a good job us woofers are cold free!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Turneresque Morning!

Yo Woofers!

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

It was rather frosty this morning!

Lucky for us the wind had dropped to almost nothing but there seemed to be about six inches of frost!

We got down to the beach well after the sun had got up but there was a super glow in the sky. Old Two Legs said it reminded him of a Turner painting, you know, little definition but vivid colours!

Turneresque or just misty?

We were more interested in the ice and frost that had built up on the sea shore, Freddy went into the water to have a wee but didn't hang about 'cos it was freezing!

Not the best place for a wee!

It was good to get back home and into the warm again. We snuggled down in our Day Beds and enjoyed a relaxing snooze after a good bowl of Lambs Heart!

Lunchtime it had warmed up but there was a load of sea mist all over the place.

Where's the Sheerness gone?

Miss May and Eric loved it down on the beach and the pair of them found a sniff to roll in!

Eric did himself proud, not only did he find a sniff but he also found a rock to roll on as well!

A Sunday Sniff and a Rock to Roll on!

The best bit was when we first arrived, there, coming along the path were a couple of Two Legs. The female stopped and looked at the ferrets, 'Oh Bless' she said, then said it four or five times more.

We were getting a bit bore when she changed he chant and asked 'How do the Dogs like them?'

We could tell OTL had the pickle in him 'cos he said.....

'Well, they prefer them slightly roasted and served on rye bread with a side salad and some brown HP Sauce!'

She gave him a funny look and backed away, quickly!

Miss May said OTL was 'Awful'!

A bit further on we had to stop twice more, once to confirm they were ferrets and not rats and the other to have their photo taken!

Holly and I were totally ignored!

Such fun on a Sunday!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

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

He's at it again!

Hi Woofers!

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

It was frosty again this morning but little or no wind and by the time we got down to the beach, no sunrise!

It was The Missuses fault, she wanted to take a load of gear up to the Village Hall for the Allhallows Croppers and there wasn't enough room to take Old Two Legs as well.

The poor lad was told to get out of the car and start walking!

I mean, it's his car!

So, by the time he got to the hall the sun had got up, had a shower, combed its hair and was beaming down on the Sheerness Docks!

Late again!

 The other day there were loads of jet trails in the sky but you need the right light to capture them, OTL tried on the ones we could see but they didn't come out to well!

Well, he tried!

 So, with two failures under his belt he took a picture of the sun over the docks and 'Played' with it on the computer.

I'm a little unsure if I like it or not, still, it's different and you can see two jet trails!

Oh No! It's the Ethereals Again!

As we had the house to ourselves, OTL took time cleaning the cages out and the ferrets had  an extra hour running about the house and creating mischief!

Freddy found out where Miss Wendy was hiding her chicken strips and he made a pig of himself by finishing of the stash!

Eric discovered where the bottles of Ferretone were stored and spent most of the time trying to open the cap, but without success.

Wendy has learnt how to ask OTL for another slurp of Ferretone from the bottle!

That now means all of them can ask OTL, 'Please, cane we have some More?'

We were late getting out at lunchtime but it didn't matter 'cos the sun was out and the wind had dropped to just 1mph!

May and Eric had fun on the beach, both were rolling in a sniff they found on the beach.

Of course, being the weekend, there were loads of strange Two Legs walking up and down the Sea Wall and as usual, we had to stop, answer the same sort of questions, like, 'Do They Bite'?

OTL answered, 'Yes, They will rip you hand off if you try to stroke them'!

No one listened and they all extended a finger to stroke Eric's head!

One day Eric will be hungry and decide to give their fingers a nibble!

See you all tomorrow.

(and yes, we did notice you hadn't left a comment!)

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

It's Friday!

Hi Woofers!

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

It was a bit chilly this morning but we decided not to have our 'Fleece Jackets', mind you, we met up with Max and Oscar and they had their 'Winter Coats' on!

It's a bit cold around the tummy area!

 Old Two Legs reckons they were brilliant but as Holly said, 'If he thinks we are going to wear those, he's got another think coming!'

She has a point, just look at the legs!

It's a bit tight around the chest!

It was Fred and Wendy's turn to come out for the morning walk and they had fun running on the beach but Fred did ask for a carry half way back to the car.

The new Duvet arrived this morning but OTL says he will get it changed at a local store on Monday, providing they have one in stock!

Lunchtime it warmed up a little and Eric has been promised a run on the beach but not until Saturday
morning!

Miss May decided she wanted a run so out she came with us!

Eric decided that if he rattled the cage hard enough and if he chewed on the bars enough, OTL would let him come as well.

Eric rattled and chewed and rattled some more.

OTL let him come with us!

The frost had mostly cleared up but in the shadow of the Sea Wall the shells were still chilly!

I'm sure I've been Brass Monkeyed!

Eric got a couple of carries and on one occasion he ran almost half way up OTL's leg!

He made it back to the car and after a drink settled down in the Travelling Cage and warmed his paws up on Mays tummy!

Back home they were both straight into their 'Cuddle Cup' and asleep within five minutes!

The Missus has a 'Crop' this weekend, so we have got some time for a game with OTL and Eric says he wants to come out again, providing it's not too cold or frosty!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Slept like a Log!

Hi Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

Last night we all slept on the new bed and although it was like sleeping on floor boards, it was super comfortable and none of us, except The Missus, woke up during the night and this morning we all felt like we've had a good nights snooze!

Old Two Legs decided that the bed was ideal except for the duvet. It's the right size for the bed but when we are all fighting for a bit of the duvet, OTL always seems to loose out!

So, this morning he got onto the people who are supplying a new duvet to get it exchanged for the next size up.

Yep! We got 'Job's Worth' to help us!

Seems like the duvet is out for a 5 day delivery and can't be stopped, so, we have to wait for it to be delivered, then send it back, get a refund and order a new one. OTL said it sounds long and complicated and expensive on carriage charges and why can't he order a new one and the carrier pick up the wrong one, all sorted in one hit?


'Oh No, we can't do that, it's more than my job's worth to do that!'

So, OTL decided to do it the easiest way, their way, and although it may take a bit longer to get it all sorted, it has less chance of going wrong, 'cos they have their 'System' and as long as you stick to the System, it should work!

These Two Legs do like their 'Systems'!

This morning it was just as cold as yesterday down on the beach but we had a good game and as it was Miss May who came out, we didn't have to hang about waiting.

The sun hadn't got out of bed yet so OTL was clicking away with the camera.

Red Sky in the Morning means Woofers Warning!

We met up with some of the other woofers out for a walk and there was one Jack Russell woofer who was taking more of an interest in Miss May and Holly had to woof him off!

We had to get back early 'cos TM wanted the car to go out to a 'Master Class' that Auntie Barbara was running, sounds like fun!

So, today we have been lazing about on the sofa watching the world go by!

Lunchtime we woke up Fred and Wendy to see if they fancied a walk on the beach, they looked so sleepy that OTL said they could do with some 'Fresh Air'!

Not that it did them and good, they were forever trying to get back in the bag for a snooze!

They did have a run on the football field and of course stopped for a sniff at the Mole Holes!

As soon as they got back in the cage they were snoozing their tails off!

OTL has been busy on the computer again, so, we decided to leave him alone and instead sit by the window waiting for TM to return!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Bouncy Bed?

Hi Woofers!

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

We were all excited this morning waiting for the new bed to arrive!

Holly and I had a snooze while Old Two Legs was getting ready to take us out and while we were out, the ferrets were jumping all over it just like that advert on the TV!

Bong, Bong, BONG!

That was it, Holly and I jumped up and were Bonging away until OTL  told us all to get off!

One of the good things was we could watch the progress of the delivery truck on a map on the computer. Lunchtime OTL reckons there was enough time to take us out for a walk and be back before they arrive.

Now I know OTL is pretty good at finding 'Windows' in the rain but when we got back home, behind our car was driving the delivery truck!

Cut it fine or wot!

After the bed was assembled and before the duvet was put on, OTL and I had a game of 'Bong' to see what the mattress was like, it was like a wooden floor!

Not so much 'Bong' more of a 'Thud'!

Mind you, when The Missus got on the bed and did her 'I can't sleep' Bong the bed didn't bounce so much as the old bed and mattress.

We'll just have to see what it's like tonight!

Bong, BOng, BONG!

It was a heavy frost this morning and lasted for most of the day in some parts. OTL was out early to knock a hole in the ice on the garden pond so the birdies can get a drink.

So, that's it for today, we have all had our medicines and the ferrets have had their anti flea drops and OTL says he is going to have a whisky tonight to celebrate getting a new bed after over twenty five years!

Excluding mattresses!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

The Day After The Day.

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, wot a day! Yesterday it was Old Two Legs birthday, I think he is 500 years old or summat near to that!

We went down to visit his cousin and his wife. Now Glynis, has her birthday on the 15th January so they get together to make it a whole day of celebrations and gassing about 'The Old Days'!

A woofer can get really bored listening to the tales they tell!

We were good woofers and didn't get into trouble when they went out for a meal at a local restaurant where they had loads to eat and they didn't even bring us a Doggy Bag back!

By the time we got back home it was terribly late, so we didn't have time to do a blog, we were just too tired!

Today Eric got to go to the vet for a checkup on his operation and to check his stitches. All was OK and the vet said he could go out for a run on the beach tomorrow but OTL said that we were going to leave it for another 'Few Days' just to be on the safe side!

Not that it stopped Eric from investigating the office.

He found the Thingy Wottsit that connects to the Internetty and asked if he could eat it as it had flashing things on it that looked rather tasty!

Does it taste like chicken?

 The trouble with Eric is that he gets all upset when he can't go out for a run, especially when Fred and Wendy go out and he gets even worse when Miss May gets to go out and he is left behind!

Down on the beach Wendy spent a long time investigating the Sea Kale Roots that were still exposed to the wide world after our Storm which washed loads of sand and shells away!

These tubers sniff of something I just can't put my claw on!

 Freddy was having a good time running and dashing about. He made OTL put him down almost as soon as he arrived and he ran and walked almost all the way down to the beach and back again to the car!

He did stop when one of those flying things came over the top of us, mind you, we don't see too many with two whirly things!

Is that a Helichopter?

 The sun had got up when we got to the beach but OTL has made it look like it is very early but the sun over Sheerness gives it away!

A Sneaky Picture today!

 We have been helping OTL take the pictures down off the wall by the stairs 'cos tomorrow we are expecting delivery of a new bed!

OTL has arranged for the delivery men to take away the old bed and install the new bed so tomorrow night we will be sleeping on the new King Size bed!

OTL was thinking of getting a Super King Size so all of us can get on the bed but in the end we decided that a King Size would be the largest one we could get in the bedroom and if there wasn't enough room, well, The Missus could always sleep in the caravan!

OTL got loads of cards through the door and there was even a couple sent via the Internetty thing!

One from The Cat Woman and that had a super picture of three ferrets that were the spitting image of Wendy, Eric and Freddy!

He also got one from Archie Babe which was a moving cartoon of a woofer being attacked by a bunch of marauding frogs! The only saving grace was the woofer had to stop chasing the frogs so he could do some mugging and pinch the sausages that were cooking outside the tent flap!

No, don't ask, it's too long and we haven't even mentioned the Robin and the Chaffinch!

Thanks Archie Babe, OTL has played it seven times already!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Wet!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, there's not much you can say about today, other than it's been wet all day!

Out for a run this morning, without the ferrets 'cos it was raining.

They stayed in bed, we got wet!

It was so wet that Old Two Legs didn't even take his camera.

Back home to a good rub down with the Doggy Towel and dive into our 'Day Beds' to get dry and warm again!

The ferrets had a good rampage around the house and both Wendy and Freddy got a splash of anti flea stuff between their shoulder blades. Not that they have fleas but it is just a precaution, a bit like the stuff OTL puts between our shoulder blades each month. So far, we've not had fleas and the other stuff we have when we go away has kept the ticks away as well!

May and Eric will have to wait a little while until his operation starts to heal before OTL splashed it on them.

That reminds me, OTL has got some worming tablets from the vet which he has to try to get us to take. Just like Archie Babes tablets, they are the size of dustbin lids and have a taste that makes you go YUK!

If we plan it right, we could have a pound of blue cheese with these tablets before they get worn away with us spitting them out!

Lunchtime walk was about the same, wet!

No camera and our rain coats were too wet to wear, so we got wet, again!

Being a Sunday we decided to have a rest on the sofa with out paws up and watch a DVD. Holly wanted to watch 101 Dalmatians but in the end we settled for 'Lord of the Rings' 'cos OTL had the controller!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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