Sun Shine for a change!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what a change we have had today. The sun was up early this morning and the temperature has been above ten degrees all day!

Getting warmer every day!

Fred and Wendy had a great time running around  on the beach but had a better time chasing Holly and I along the grass path!

Lunchtime we were back again with May and Eric. Holly and I showed them how to enjoy a roll on the beach!

Yer work it in under the harness!

 Holly was showing off he 'Nose Dive and Ear Rub' but both ferrets decided it was just too 'Doggy' for them!

Then yer rub it in!

 May and Eric had a great time sniffing all the sniffs along the grass path and running through the 'Ferret Track' that they and Wendy and Freddy have been making over the months!

Having small legs means that the ferrets have to run twice as fast as us woofers so that means they get a bit thirsty by the time we got back to the car.

Holly and I get left behind to sniff around the picnic tables while the ferrets enjoy a cooling drink before getting back into their travelling cage for a cuddle and a snooze before we get home.

It's her making the slurping noise, honest!

 Now we have had some news via FaceAche thingy that Michael had a successful operation on his nose and is now back home again being looked after by Sue!

Now, we have to report some disturbing news, poor Archie Babe had to have a wash and hair cut!

That must be terrible for such a fine lad, especially when the wind gets under your tail and you have no bushy hair to stop your butt from freezing!

Mind you, Holly and I have got that indignity booked in for next Wednesday, just how will we survive!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's getting warmer!

Hi Woofers!

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

Have you noticed that the temperature is creeping up? Well, the other day it was freezing, 1 degree and a nasty North West Wind!

Today it got up to eleven degrees here in North Kent and the wind was just a gentle breeze of two miles an hour!

Balmy or wot!

When we got down to the beach Old Two Legs pointed out a 'Front' that was passing over head!

A Warm Front?

 Freddy and Wendy had fun rolling in the Sea Kale leaves, until OTL told them to 'Hurry Up' 'cos he could see some woofers walking towards us along the Sea Wall!

Rush, Rush, Rush!

 We couldn't hand about 'cos The Missus had booked the car to go shopping for some last minute stuff for her American Adventure!

Come lunchtime she still hadn't returned so we had to go walkies in the Big Car! The heated seats were turned on and Holly and I had nice warm tails by the time we got down to the end of the road!

Holly got into a 'Hole Dogging' mood and was throwing the sand all over the place!

Here we go!

 I think it must be half term 'cos there were loads of Mini Two Legs wandering about with Parents or Grand Parents and of course, there was the usual questions, Wot are They? Do They Bite? Can I have One?

Miss May had fun rolling in a shallow hole she had dug, Eric was more interested in sniffin' the sea weed!

This is Soooooooo Goooood!

This afternoon we have been making up luggage labels for The Missus to hang on her suitcase. They had to have 'Reversable' labels so that on the way out it will have the U.S.A. address and on the way back it will show our home address!

Clever or wot?

We haven't heard anything about Michael and his operation, maybe Sue will give us an update if she reads today's ramblings!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

and today it's an Easterly Wind!

Hi Woofers!

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

We were up on time today, well, just after six when Old Two Legs rolled out of bed! By the time we got down onto the beach the sun was up and the wind was blowing!

Today the wind had swung around to the East and that means the wind comes in straight off the North Sea!

As Holly says, the wind has a 'Bite' to it!

I found a ball that had a puncture and OTL kicked it for me to chase. I showed it to Holly and invited her to play a game of 'Catch'. That is where she throws it up in the air and I run up and catch it in mid air!

Come on, have a game with me!

Holly said that she wasn't in the mood and not even when I said I was going to bury the ball!

I'll hide it here until tomorrow!

That was OK but Fred and Wendy decided that they would dig it up!

Don't worry, we'll find it for you!

It's OK playing on the beach but the wind was rattling off the sea and the waves were wearing their white hats!

White Hats? Nah! White Horses!

As we came off the beach, Holly and I spotted a load of Two Leg walking their woofers, all visitors, so we decided that we would give them the 'Woof Off' woof that us locals give when we see strangers.

I started off, standing as high as I could, I gave them a fine rendition of 'Woof Orf'!

Now just 'Woof Off'!

 Holly joined in the 'Woof Off' chorus and even got to stand on her back legs!

For just a couple of seconds!

....................................an' yer can stay 'Woofed Off'!

That was all OK but along came a big Dopey Bozo of a woofer who looked like a small horse! Holly and I got behind OTL and waited for him to tell the Bozo to 'Woof Off'!

OTL had to pick up the ferrets, tuck them under one arm and with the other arm he held up his had in front of the Bozos face and said in a firm voice .....'No!'

Then he said 'Back!' and pointed back towards the TL's, would you believe it? The Bozo walked backwards and then wandered off to his TL's who were waiting down the path a bit!

Brave OTL!

One last look at the sea showed even more white stuff on the sea, it was going to be good when we got back to the car, no wind and a warm heater!

More White Stuff!

The ferrets all enjoyed the walk today and young Eric even ran all the way back to the car!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Stormy Weather!

Hello Woofers!

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

No snow today, just wind and a chill!

We caught Freddy having a wee on the beach! He said that it was OK while he was in the warm cage but as soon as that wind blew up is tail he then really needed a wee!

I know what he means!

A Ferrets gotta go when a Ferret's gotta Go!

He was below the high tide mark so it didn't matter, the sea would be in soon to wash it all away!

The wind was coming from the North East and when it does, that normally means cold!

Holly was saying that it will get colder when the tide comes in and maybe we would even get some snow!

I'm sure I can sniff snow on the wind!

 Lunchtime we brought May and Eric down to the beach. The tide was almost right in and the wind was stronger than this morning.

We certainly knew it was a stronger wind and it was still coming from the North East!

But, no snow!

There were no new sniffs on the beach and Freddy's wee had been washed away!

I don't know who that is but it's not a 'Freddy'!

I sat down on the sand to watch the waves crashing onto the beach, it was then that I decided that I wouldn't go in for a swim, I'll wait for Summer!

Not only is it wet, but it looks woffin' cold!

 Holly agreed and was soon heading back towards the car!

I know where there is a warm car heater and I'm off to find it!

One of the good things about the cold weather is that the ferrets don't hang about!

Miss May was straining at the lead like a Husky pulling a sledge! Eric was running as fast as his little legs could go and he only asked Old Two Legs a couple of times for a lift.

As soon as we reached the bench on the hill, Eric was off like a Ferret on Fire! He shoved Holly out of the way and was almost dragging May along as well!

Back home we all snuggled down for a snooze in OTL's office where we keep our 'Day Bed', it's a super thing to do on a Sunday!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Snow? Wot Snow?

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a disappointment! The weather men said it would be snow and cold and windy.

Instead there was a little wind, a bit of cold but no snow!

The ferrets showed of good and proper!

May and Eric wanted to see the snow fairy but as Eric said 'Snow? I've seen more dandruff on a sparrows bum!

I said I couldn't comment 'cos I've not got that close to a sparrows backside!

This is a Sparrows backside?

Eric went looking for some real snow but when we got to the beach there were some white bits but not enough to make a snowball!

Hardly a Snow Drift!

We were all rather disappointed, we haven't had any real snow at all this winter, still, there is still time.

Old Two Legs says his boots are super, no holes for the water to get in!

Lunchtime OTL let Wendy and Freddy stay in the cage instead of going for a walk. They didn't want to wake up and as it was a little chilly and worse in the wind, it seemed the kindest thing to do!

OTL has been busy watching the Italy- Ireland rugby match which certainly seems to be going Ireland's way!

The England-Wales match is due to start around four so he will miss the first bit 'cos he has to pick TM up from the village hall Still, we will let him know if there is any interesting bits!

It was good to see Sue yesterday, we thought you had forgotten us!

Best of luck for Michael when he goes into hospital early next week!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Grey Day with a bit of wind!

Hi Woofers!

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

They are here! Yep! Old Two Legs new boots arrived today all the way from Apeldoorn, Netherland!

OTL says that Apeldoorn, Netherlands is across the sea and down a bit!

Impressive or wot?

They didn't arrive in time for the morning walk so he had to wear the old ones where the sole and the uppers were not talking to each other on the right side of the heel!

Not that it mattered, he wasn't going to go paddling in puddles or wet stuff like that.

No rain and no snow but he did spot a couple of drops of sleet whizz past his nose. I don't think we will see the Snow Fairy at all, which is a bit of a shame 'cos the ferrets say they would love a rampage in some deep snow!

Seriously Grey Day!

 All we got was grey clouds and mist and a wind that came in straight off the sea. It was OK when you were walking into the wind but it was a bit of a blast when it was blowing up yer tail!

Lunchtime we found that 'Thing' again and this time it was standing up on it's end.

Holly reckons it didn't want to be wee'd on again by Eric!

Come on Eric, wee over the top!

 Both Eric and May did some investigations and decided it wasn't worth weeing on 'cos there were no doors, wheels or anything of interest!

A quick sniff and they left it on the beach for the tide to wash out to sea!

I've already had a wee, what about you trying?

 Tomorrow The Missus is off to one of her Master Classes and we think it may be the last before she heads off to U.S.A. All her ladies will have to suffer until she comes back!

Mind you, I bet when she comes back she will have some wonderful ideas about using inks and stuff in new ways!

Holly says that instead of putting all the stuff on paper, she'll slosh it all over her face to look like a 'Native American', or Red Indian to you and me!

OTL has been ordering some food on-line for him for when TM is away. Holly says that TM will be getting a stock of stuff in for us woofers, let's hope it's not a ton of Doggy Scoff!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Eric is into all sorts of trouble today!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's getting proper chilly in the mornings now, I have even started to cuddle up to Old Two Legs when he is asleep so I get the warmth from his back! Holly is a bit further down resting her head on his leg!

The only problem we have is when he gets up, it gets a bit colder!

OTL has his breakfast in the office with May and Eric who enjoy a rampage around all the nooks and crannies between all OTL's stuff!

One bag has taken young Eric's interest of late, the bag of Cat Litter. It's the stuff OTL puts down in the cages for the ferrets to wee and poo on.

They are not always as tidy as OTL would want them to be and especially Eric!

He has a habit of kicking the cat litter all over the place!

Eric has discovered where the cat litter is kept and has taken to diving into the bag and having a 'Dig'!

The digging has to go somewhere and the carpet is the nearest place!

It's just in case I want a wee, honest!

It was certainly chilly down on the beach and Freddy found out that the 'Thing' looked like it had a back door! He started to do some excavating but couldn't find the door, just a brick wall!

No, still no sign of a door!

When we came back at lunchtime Miss May had a sniff and said that Freddy had been there!

She knows his sniff!

Those ferrets have an amazing nose for sniffing!

OK, someone has been digging and I can sniff Freddy as well!

Eric said that Freddy shouldn't mess with Mays 'Thing' so, just like us woofers Eric left a 'Message' for Freddy!

Look! I can do a wee standing up!

Tomorrow is Friday and we are expecting OTL to get his new boots delivered by the carrier. Holly says that we should all 'Christen' his boots by doing a wee on them!

Yeah, Right!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

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.
