The Big Car is back!

Yo Woofers!

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

It's getting a bit chilly down here. We saw that snow 'Flurries' are a possibility but not in our area, but it is still getting cold!

Freddy and Wendy said they would have rather stayed in bed but once they got running on the beach they soon warmed up!

Unfortunately,  it was all Sea Mist and cloud, so no bright colourful things to photograph!

Why is it so grey?

Back home Old Two Legs was getting stuff sorted for The Missuses trip to the U.S.A. he was talking to the bank to get a 'Marker' put on the credit card so the alarm bells wouldn't ring the first time she used it!

Then there was the mobile phone to get sorted so she can use it for calls, SMS and Data!

It all sounded rather technical to us but it's something that Two Legs do when they go abroad!

Mind you, we don't have this problem when we got to Scotland for our holidays!

Maybe there is a lesson there!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again and this time it was Eric who was giving the 'Thing' a good 'Inspection' and he decided that it wasn't a mobile home 'cos it didn't have any wheels!

.........and the steering wheel is missing too!

 Holly and I were playing on the beach. We both dug a hole in the sand, one down one end of the beach and the other was down the other end of the beach.

We would both have a dig in our own hole, then, run like the clappers down to the other hole and have a dig there. Then we would rush back to our hole and remove some more sand.

Now this was OK, right up until Holly forgot which hole she supposed to be digging.

I told her to 'Clear Off' and she replied that I didn't know my 'ole from my tail..................

.................and that's when the fight started!

My Hole!

OTL decided that it wasn't worth his time to intervene and left us to fight it out!

When we got home the repairers had telephoned to say the big car was ready for collection. OTL had sent the car off to have some bodywork done where we were attacked by a Yorkshire Stone Wall and a couple of other scratches caused by TL's with shopping trollies.

We headed down into town and were looking forward to riding home in the big car with the heated seats switched on but TM drove off with us in the back of the Little Car!

We froze all the way home!

It's a hard life being a woofer, they just won't let us drive cars!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Mobile Home?

Hello Woofers!

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

Wot a change of a day! It started off very misty and foggy down on the beach, in fact, Old Two Legs left the camera in the car 'cos he just couldn't see anything to photograph!

Not to worry, we all had a sniff and a gentle walk back to the car.

What a difference at lunchtime, the sun sort of crept around the side of the clouds and the tide was out.

Miss May found her 'Posing Rock' that she has enjoyed several sniffs.

Looking Good Miss May!

Another thing we spotted was the house May saw yesterday, the one she reckons she could dig out the sand and make a good house.

Well, it had moved!

It was half way down the beach yesterday but today it was right up the top of the beach.

Wow! Says May, it's a Mobile Home!

Now all she needed was a motor to tow it!

How many beds?

On the way back to the car Eric asked for a lift and was sitting on OTL's shoulder when we came across a couple of strangers having a wander along the path.

Of course, there were the normal questions and Eric was getting a little twitchy 'cos OTL was spending too much time talking about ferrets.

So, Eric stuck his tongue in OTL's ear and gave him a little lick to get him to stop talking.

OTL carried on talking.

That was it, Eric decided that OTL needed a bit bigger hint and grabbed OTL's ear with his teeth!

That got him moving and there wasn't too much blood!

Actually, it was just a little drip, not enough to wet his finger!

Back home we had fun watching OTL swinging about on the top of a ladder, doing some maintenance of the Weather Machine then after that he cleaned the gutter out 'cos it was full of moss from the roof!

After that he was resetting the camera in the front of the house 'cos a daft Collared Dove flew into it.

We know it was a Collared Dove 'cos it left a few feathers on the camera and on the ground!

After all of that he found his boot had split and was letting in water! I can see another pair of boots heading this way!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

May finds a new home!

Hi Woofers!

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

It was a strange looking view across the river this morning. All misty and no wind at all, just a sort of ethereal photo that Old Two Legs loves! 

Ethereal or Wot?

We were a little late in getting down to the beach so we didn't see anyone at all!

Freddy manage to walk almost all the way back to the car, he only got a carry up to the bench on the hill but  was soon back onto the ground and tearing through the grass!

Back home it was all fun and games as OTL was cleaning the cages. He found one of those squeakers you get in rubber balls. He then started blowing so that Eric would come racing from where ever he was, looking for the ball that was squeaking. Of course, OTL stopped blowing as soon as Eric got close!

Poor Eric was going potty looking for the squeaker!

Lunchtime was fun 'cos the tide was out and and there was loads of room to run up and down the beach!

Miss May was full of it 'cos she was digging holes, rolling in the hole and then laughing her tail off!

Ooh! It gets right up your back!

Then, suddenly, she stopped rolling in the sand and pointed up the beach, 'Wotsat?' says May.

Wot?

Being a ferret means you are always investigating stuff. So, both Eric and May are all over this new thing that had arrived on the shore.

No one had any idea what it was called but there seemed to be an opening in the top that may have been front door, but without the door!

If we dig the sand out there could be a sleeping room down there!

 OTL said that it looked very interesting but maybe not big enough to be a Ferret House!

May said that it could be a 'Totally Underground House'!

Just think how big the bedroom could be!

 Both ferrets had fun digging in and around the thing but in the end decided that the Travelling Cage had a nice warm, soft bed like cushion that may just be a little better than the beach!

Back in the car, both ferrets dived into the water bowl for a well earned drink and Holly and I had to wait until the had finished before we could jump back into the car!

All we need now is a slurp of Ferretone!

 Being Monday, OTL has been busy getting the orders out and down the carriers. Holly and I decided that we would catch up on our snoozing while he was down the town.

So, Eric is making plans to have another look at the thing on the beach and see if he could make anything out of it!

We loved the tale of the bread slices and the snaffling as done by Archie Babe. We know what it's like, having a chew on something that you just know might make you 'Tom & Dick' but you just can't help it.

These Two Legs do the same thing but instead of eating, they drink stuff!

It's all good fun at the time, but the next morning?

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Eric shows off!

Hi Woofers!

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

Now, Sunday is always a fun day, you know, no real working, just the normal wander around the house searching for nibbles hidden by the ferrets!

Loads of strangers walking up and down the Sea Wall, a few strange woofers to woof at and loads of Two Legs looking at the ferrets and asking , 'What are they?'

Over sized rats!

Holly and I did our best to get rid of any woofer who looked like they would get too close to Wendy and Freddy!

We don't want any trouble so we make sure there is a good space between the ferrets and any strangers!

Well, I don't see any more woofers! Looks like a 'Good Job'!

Back home we had fun with Eric by telling him there were loads of woofers on the beach and he wouldn't be able to dig any holes.

That wound him up and he spent an hour rattling on the cage door demanding he be let out to 'Sort Out' the woofers!

After an hour he got fed up and crawled into bed with May. Thirty minutes later Old Two Legs was getting his coat on to take us out again. Poor old Eric, he was half asleep and sort of missed out on the excitement of getting his harness on and being put in the travelling cage!

Eric has still to learn how to pace himself!

Down on the beach, while Eric was trying to wake up, Miss May was joining Holly and I in a 'Sniff Search'.

There was a super sniff somewhere close but we just couldn't find it!

Look it can't come out of three different places!

 Holly wandered off down the beach while May and I carried on searching, but we just couldn't find it.

Well, I guess we are beaten this time!

 Now, Holly chops had gone off to search and had followed the sniff down the beach. She had a little dig, had a little sniff, dug some more, had another sniff and then dug a little more.

Then she got fed up and sat down on the pile of sand next to the hole.

Little did she know, the last bit of sand thrown up from the hole was almost all sniff, coated with sand!

Holly sat down.

Holly sat down on the sniff and wriggled her butt so the sand pile made a good seat, then she wriggled some more.

Holly now had a seriously large patch of 'Sniff' stuck to her butt and all around her tail!

Oh Dear!

Wot a sniff, wot a smelly woofer, wot trouble she was in!

All the way home in the car we all stayed well away from her and OTL even opened the window so the sniff wouldn't hang around in the car!

A Sunday Holly will remember!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Rugby, Rugby and Game Of Thrones, YEAH! RESULT!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super Saturday this is.

We started off with a walk this morning and Freddy was showing off with his 'Tracking Signs'!

This means 'Straight Ahead'!

 Miss Wendy joined in and copied Freddy 'cos she wanted to go straight back to the car for a snooze!

We took The Missus off to the village hall with all her gear then headed back to get all the cage cleaning done before any of the rugby started.

I kept an eye on the clock so we could get our lunchtime walk before the Scotland-Ireland match started!

This is me doing the 'Time for Walkies' look!

 Just for a change, there was no rain in our part of the world and it wasn't too cold either!

Eric and May had great fun in the Sea Kale.

Miss May has got something about Sea Kale, she just loves to scrunch up a leaf and give it a good roll.

Eric seems not to have the same desire to sniff of Sea Kale but he joins in just to keep May happy.

Ooh! Bliss!

 Mind you he does get a little confused sometimes, which gets him into trouble!

Gerroff! I said BLISS, not KISS!

It was all good fun and on the way back to the car we came across a Two Legs flying one of those 'copter Drones that makes a terrible sound. So much was the noise that both Holly and I went into 'Howling Mode', which made Old Two Legs laugh!

Back home we had just enough time to make some lunch for OTL before the Scotland Ireland Rugby game started.

We sat on the chair with OTL and joined in the cheering. I was cheering for Scotland and Holly was supporting Ireland!

Well, it has only just finished and the score was Scotland 27 points against Ireland 22 points!

Next it's the England- France match, guess who we will be supporting!

TM is out tonight so, after the rugby it will be the Game of Thrones!

This is how to spend a Saturday!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

I found a Super Sniff!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wasn't it great this morning?

We got down to the beach and the sun was shining and there was a 'Balmy Breeze' blowing down the river Medway.

Old Two Legs wanted to take some pictures of the sun but he had forgotten his camera!

Wot a Bozo!

Back home Miss Wendy and Freddy were a little tired after their run on the beach and soon they were fast asleep in their cage all cuddled up in the 'Cuddle Cup'!

Lunchtime we made sure OTL remembered his camera!

Miss May found the first sniff on the beach and enjoyed a really good roll!

This is just WONDERFUL!

 Holly didn't seem impressed, mind you, she has had a 'Grumbly Tum' for a couple of days and has declined a run on the beach, so instead she sits on the Sea Wall 'cos it is 'Nice and Cool' for her butt!

This is just right!

While everyone was having fun, I found this Super Big Soggy Sniff that was calling out to be rolled on!

So I did!

Ooh! It gets right between your shoulder blades!

Lucky for me OTL didn't see what I was doing, he thought I was just having a roll in the sand!

When I had finished and caught them all up at the top of the grass path he spotted my back!

He called me a lot of names and made me sit in the back of the back of the car, just so I couldn't have a roll to work it in a bit more!

Miss May got off with it 'cos she was rolling in dried stuff that came off when she had a good shake!

You know I'm going to have to take some lessons from her, she never seems to get called 'Smelly'!

Off down the path again!

Tomorrow we have got a treat, The Missus is off to one of her Master Classes so we will be able to snooze on the sofa and watch TV all day!

Better still, she is out for most of the evening 'Baby Sitting' so it's Bonio biscuits, Rawhide Chews and Shortbread crumbs everywhere!

OTL says we can stay up if we want and watch the 'Game of Thrones' that have been recorded!

Result!

We haven't heard anything from Mr Goodes (Michael) who went to London to get his nose sorted. I don't think I would like my nose messed about with, let's face it, how would I find the sniffs!

See you tomorrow!

Luv

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

We See The Sun!

Yo! Woofers!

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

Wot a surprise this morning, a little bit of red on the clouds before the sun got up and when it did get up........................

POW!! There it is!

It made a change to see the sun instead of those Misty, Foggy mornings!

We all had a game on the beach and we still couldn't find the ball. Holly reckons the Nargles have pinched it!

Those Nargles get everywhere!

On the way back to the car the ferrets went along the Ferret Track again and just for those of you who couldn't see it yesterday, we did this for you!

All you got to do is Follow The White Line!

Towards the end it gets easier 'cos it is even easier to see, well we think it is!

See? Even a Two Legs could follow this path!

Back home there was a bowl of chicken waiting for us woofers while the ferrets demolished a few chicken strips, some Brambles Biscuits and Old Two Legs office!

Well, it's a Ferret Thing!

Freddy had a super game with OTL and got his tummy tickled while being dragged around the floor in the bathroom!

Eric was all 'Rush and Tear' while also having a game with OTL as well!

Come lunchtime we headed off again to the beach but half way there it started to rain and it rained so much that OTL left his camera in the car but took the ferrets, all wrapped up in his arms!

The further we went along the path the wetter it got and it wasn't too long before we turned around and headed back to the car!

We all got back home to a snooze on our beds while OTL finished off some paperwork and made it look like he was working hard!

The ferrets enjoyed a big snooze, all cuddled up together and Wendy was snoring her tail off!

OTL says that there may be some very wet and windy weather heading our way over the next few days so it means we have to find our 'Wet Weather Gear'!

Tomorrow we are going to take the big car to get some body work done after it got scratched on a Yorkshire Stone Wall and also where someone scratched the bonnet while we were parked up in Tobermory a couple of years ago!

OTL is already weeping at the cost but he reckons it will be a lot less that the extra he would have to pay out if he claimed on his car insurance!

We are off now to see what OTL is going to get tonight and if we can pinch some!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Ferret Tracks!

Hello Woofers!

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

Although it was raining last night, just about 'Wee Time', we woke up to no rain and no sun!

It wasn't too cold though so we were able to have a game on the beach!

Trouble was, we lost the ball, again!

No, You had it last!

We met the lads and young Marley crept up on Old Two Legs and offered to chase the ball if he had another!

I'll chase the ball for you OTL!

 Wot a creep!

The ferrets had fun and had a super game of 'Chase' down wot OTL calls the 'Ferret Track' which is a path both sets of ferrets have created a path that they just love to race down.

Hey! Your brake lights aren't working!

 After the race down the track it's only a quick dash to the car!

Lunchtime we went searching for the ball again but I think the tide has washed it out to sea!

Well, I can't see it down here either!

 Eric and May also love the 'Ferret Track' but Eric is not as fast as May 'cos he likes to stop and enjoy each sniff!

That always causes a 'Crash'!

Come on Eric, shift your butt!

 Once they are out of the track we end up on the short grass path where we wander along acting like the tough Woofer Pack!

No one messes with us!

Mind you, we haven't met any nasty woofers but we still look good!

There is forecast of rain and high wind over the next few days so we will need to find our rain coats.

The ferrets don't have rain coats so if it is too wet they will just have to make do with a rampage around the house while we are out getting wet!

You know they really have a hard life!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Windy and a little colder.

Hi Woofers!

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

It has been a little drafts today and the ferrets have stayed wrapped up in Old Two Legs arms instead of wriggling to get onto the ground!

Mind you, when we got to the beach they had to get down and go for a forced run along the sand!

No, nothing new today!

Max and Oscar said they would be glad when they get back home and I must say I was thinking the same thing!

We should have worn our Winter Coats!

Lunchtime it was just as windy but the tide was right in. Miss May was running along the beach but didn't chance getting too close to the waves 'cos they were bigger than yesterday and looked a lot wetter!

I'm watching you!

Eric was a bit slow in getting moving but once he got going he was like a rocket! We were charging along when we met a gang of woofers we know. Eric and May had to be picked up but we couldn't hang around 'cos Eric and May wanted to get down and go charging through the grass along a path they had made from running along the same path every day!

It has now got so worn that even Wendy and Freddy have started to use it as well!

No sign of the Cetti's Warbler today so it must have gone back to the reeds where it is warmer!

Let's hope things pick up soon 'cos Spring is just around the corner!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Wot Is It and Can We Eats it Precious?

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, we are experiencing some 'Low Pressure', you can tell that 'cos the waves have gone!

No Wind, No Waves, Boring!

It was so boring that Miss May decided that she would have a little paddle.

Trouble with ferrets is that their legs are rather short in relation to their body, so, their tummy is close to the ground, which means they have to be quick whenever the walk over a bump!

Now, it also follows that if they are standing on the waters edge and a little wave arrives on the shore, they will in turn end up with wet paws and a wet tummy!

Yikes! It's Wet!

Miss May found out the wet way!

Holly and I know about things like that, so, unless I'm going in for a swim, we stay well back from the water!

No, just the same boring sniffs!

I had fun winding Old Two Legs up by asking if he could get some climbing gear so I can climb the Rock Wall!

A Harness, some Safety Ropes and Crampons?

I won't tell you what he said 'cos it's rude!

As we all headed towards the concrete stairs Holly and I rushed on to the grass and went into Serious Sniff Mode!

Eric and May came along behind but stopped on the stairs 'cos there was a little bird looking all cold and tired with it's head tucked under it's wing, fast asleep!

But wot is it Precious?

OTL had to hold back the ferrets who wanted to do the 'Chicken Taste Test' and this little bird didn't even know they were there, licking their lips!

In the end the bird woke up and fluttered a couple of feet away from two sniffing little ferrets!

OTL couldn't identify it but with the couple of dodgy snaps he had enough to go on for when he got home to look in the bird book!

Any ideas?

Well, to stop you all worrying, OTL reckons it is a Cetti's Warbler. He has often heard this little bird calling but never seen it in 'Real Life' so that is another he has ticked off his list.

Now, the next one he has to find is a Bullfinch!

Not that we've ever seen any down on the beach!

Hey! We guessed right, Izzy's third little woofer is called Jean Genie!

The Missus said the she would just love one to stay with us but OTL said that our pack is big enough thank you and we rather agree with him!

We can sniff chicken cooking down stairs so we are off!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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