A relaxing Sunday!

Hello Woofers!

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

We had some fun last night, after a great evening watching Game of Thrones, eating nibbles and getting crumbs all over the place, we headed off to bed at ten fifteen!

Now, that's late for us!

During the night Old Two Legs and I were woken up by a noise that sounded like there was someone down stairs, talking!

OTL was about to get up to 'Investigate' when we realised it was Holly Chops, snoring her tail off!

She was on her back with her legs in the air and her head thrown right back!

Being Sunday we were up a little later than normal and even the ferrets were still asleep.

Down on the beach it was windy, chilly and rainy. It wasn't a lot of rain but the drops were cold and Holly just doesn't do wet! So, off she went back to the car while we followed on at 'Ferret Speed'!

Not the best weather for a Sunday!

 Back home it was 'Clearing Up', well there were crumbs all over the place and the ferrets have been hiding our biscuits in the sofa! It's a good job our noses are so sensitive so we could sniff out the food and then tell OTL where it's all hidden!

Lunchtime it had stopped raining for just enough to get out for our lunchtime wall!

As normal, there were loads of visitors from all over the place and we got the normal questions, What are they? Are they Possums? Do they bite? Can little Brooklyn stroke one?

We loved the last on, send their child to stroke the ferret first so that if the ferret bites it'll get the child first!

OTL always shows them Eric's teeth and then says 'Stroke the other end!' Some do and some don't know what end to stroke!

I wouldn't bite really!

Miss May will allows strokes but only when OTL is holding her to make sure she is OK!

 

No Carry, No Strokes!

 Back home we decided to have a sit down and a snooze before dinner. We have Chicken tonight, providing it thaws out in time! OTL says that he may give it a blast in the microwave just to help it along!

OTL is lucky, his dinners are designed to be microwaved from frozen and left for a couple of minutes to 'Rest'. OTL has been eating all of them and sometimes puts what is left of the gravy over our dinners, just in case we need a 'Kick Start' to get going!

Now, besides meat and potatoes he has been getting cabbage and cauliflower and green stuff he would not normally eat, but he eats it all down like a good boy, mainly 'cos the dinners are designed for those without a big appetite!

So, the Happy Meals could be described as 'Edible and good if you are on a diet or don't need a big dinner'!

OTL could do with loosing some of the podge around his gut so he is not complaining too much! Any way, he finishes off with cheese and biscuits and short bread and crisps and cheese straws and chocolate covered honeycomb and a healthy slurp of Single Malt!

He also has been doing some damage to the large pack of Twigglets he found in the back of the cupboard! We are not too sure if that is slimming or not!

So, he is 'surviving' and if things get tough, he'll pop up the road for a Kofti Kebab, large of course!

We have been told that The Missus is off to the Movies tonight, hot dog rolls and a bucket of Popcorn, sounds as slimming as OTL's nosh!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A New Woofer on The Wall!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, Saturday is for relaxing and snoozing and as far as Old Two Legs goes, shovelling Ferret Poo!

It has been a dull sort of day weather wise, not very exciting at all, in fact, rather boring! We did see some Black Thorn trees in flower, so that's a good Spring Indicator!

We were doing our normal Beach Sniffing when we spotted a young woofer in the distance who looked more legs than anything else!

Wot do you reckon, Sniff or Woof?

 When it finally arrived it was a bit scared of us and Old Two Legs, that was until OTL took his hat off and had a little game with the woofer!

Not sure about you lot!

He was introduced as Prince and his Two Legs were the 'Westie Dave' who sadly crossed over the Rainbow Bridge a while ago.

Prince is a bit of a mixture, we can see Poodle but we're not sure about the other half!

I'm only a little puppy!

 We look forward to seeing more of him on the Sea Wall!

Eric was in fine fettle with his digging on the sand. He did a long trench and he would have gone further except for the lead stopping him go any further!

I'm a Trenching Ferret!

 Being Saturday it has been 'Clean Up' day and OTL has been dashing about with the carpet cleaner sweeping up all our biscuit crumbs and stuff he has dropped as well! Then of course there is all the stuff the ferrets have been pinching and hiding under the chairs and behind all the curtains!

We got Doggy Scoff today, yuk! I blame The Missus, OTL would never buy us that terrible stuff, still, he does give us some of the gravy after he has finished his meal!

Sunday will be a load of fun, loads of rain promised, the ferrets might get to stay in bed!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Lazy Day, for us!

Hello Woofers!

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

Friday today and the Premium Bond People haven't sent an email telling Old Two Legs he has won any prizes this month so it looks like he has to keep on working!

Just think, if we won a fortune we could have Chicken Fillets every day!

As it is, he didn't, and we ain't!

So it's back to a game of Dig and Whiz' on the beach!

Can't Catch Me!

 It was fun steaming up and down the beach while the ferrets were digging in the sea shell pile!

Here I Come!

 It was all OK until Holly spotted a couple of strangers walking along the Sea Wall. She gave one of her 'Warning Woofs' which gave OTL time to put the camera away and pick up Fred and Wendy.

I Spy Woofers!

 It was OK in the end and OTL carried both ferrets up onto the grass path where they trotted all the way back to the car!

We got some pictures from The Missus this morning, seems they spent the day playing 'Inky Fingers' and you can guess who it was who got the inkiest fingers!

Slap it on girl!

How is it you can make so much mess and produce just one card!

This is ART, Yeah!

 I think we'll stick to our game of 'Dig and Whiz' thank you!

BTW, OTL is having problems with the video, he has lost the 'Instruction Manual' for the program and keeps deleting it!

It's a good job he still has the memory card and he has to start from the beginning every time!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Sunshine!

Hello Woofers!

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

It was a bit windy when we went out first thing this morning, but at least the sun was shining!

Holly and I went of chasing rabbits but they wouldn't hang around for us to have a game, said something about being scared of woofers with big teeth!

As if!

We had a message from The Missus, they are having loads of fun, shopping and sight seeing and having a royal old time!

We should be getting some more pictures of wot they are getting up to, so we will be waiting for those to arrive!

Morning Sheerness!

It was a little windy this morning but the rays of the sun managed to get through the clouds and later on the clouds almost all dissapeared!

The ferrets were having a great time rampaging around the house and of course May was digging into the cupboard looking for her 'Nodules', which she found and ran off to hide behind the curtain!

Old Two Legs has been messing about with the video camera, seems he forgot just how long he left the video running while he went off to do his chores!

It looks like we have hours of video of the kitchen cupboard an nuffin else!

Wanna Play Ball OTL?

 Eric had fun with the 'Wobbly Ball'. It's the one that suddenly does a left or right paw turn as you roll it across the floor, in the end he managed to flatten the battery inside the ball!

Down on the beach it was a little windy but we all had fun digging holes, rolling in sniffs and woofing at the passing visitors!

I don't do Woofing!

 Lunchtime the sky looked brighter and the sun was filtering through the fluffy clouds. Roll on Summer!

It's getting brighter every day!

TM is off to Big Bend National Park for a few days so we are expecting some serious photo's of big canyons and the odd rattle snake!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Remember The Alamo!

Hi Woofers!

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

We have had some photos from The Missus last night. They all went visiting San Antonio and The Alamo!

Old Two Legs is dead jealous of her being there 'cos it's one place he would just love to visit!

Watch out for canon balls!

Then of course, they have got to get used to looking to the right first when crossing roads!

No! Here it is Look Right then Left!

Back home OTL has been 'Domestic Engineering' today. He was going to leave the ferret poo to pile up in the kitchen and clear it up once a week but the pile got a bit high and he couldn't get to the microwave to cook his dinner, so, today he decided to shovel it all up and wash the floor as well.

Now it's great when the floor is still wet all over 'cos we can rush into the kitchen, do a 'Paw Brake Turn' and spin around in circles! It's even better when the ferrets do it 'cos they all end up getting giddy and they sometimes fall into our water bowl which is a bit like a swimming pool to a ferret!

Mind you, the sniff of the disinfectant makes you eyes water just a little bit so a quick dip in the water bowl helps wash it away!

Today it is another tin of Doggy Scoff that has been presented and we're not happy about it! We blame TM really, Holly reckons she gives it to us so we have to 'Fast' one day in three!

Not fair!

We wonder what OTL will microwave tonight, maybe some gravy will spill into our bowl of mush!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Up Pops Trevor and TM is going just a little Potty!

Hi Woofers!

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

Things are beginning to settle down into a daily rhythm, we are getting fed on time, so is Old Two Legs and 'Walkies' are back to normal!

We have heard that The Missus is buying up all the craft stuff in Texas and is planning to move into the Craft Mall!

Mind you, she had better behave herself 'cos if she carries on like she did yesterday she might not be let in there again!

TM is the one in the middle!

 You know she is getting on a bit but buying a hat so she remembers where she is???????

Yeah! We know, Texas!

We have been told that they are all off to the Alamo today, let's hope they don't get into trouble!

Back home here we have spotted Young Trevor The Frog! He has come out of hibernation at the bottom of the pond and was enjoying a warming 'Sun Bathe' when OTL got his camera out and went 'Click'.............Trevor heard that and went 'Splosh' as he headed for the depths again!

Jus' Blowing Some Bubbles!

Down on the Sea Wall we met up with some of The Lads and of course, they all made a fuss of OTL! Polly even rolled onto her back to get her tummy tickled, the Tart!

The Tart!

Little Boo was all for having a game with the ferrets but as she is not much bigger than a ferret we reckon the ferrets would have the upper paw!

Me Play Wiv Ferrets, please?

The tide was very high today, in fact it was so high that we didn't even see the sand! So, bang goes our hole digging until tomorrow!

As it is the 'End of Month' time OTL has been on the computer sending invoices and stuff, so we have been enjoying ourselves with a snooze under office desk!

It's a great place to rest, except when the ferrets decide to use the 'Poo Place' which is right next to where Holly likes to snooze!

We are off now to watch 'Game of Thrones' that have been recorded from the TV!

Loads of fun!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's been wet today!

Hi Woofers!

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

It is wet! It started this morning while we were fast asleep, all stretched out on the bed, plenty of room to wag a tail while sleeping on our backs!

This morning's walk was a little blowy but the rain held off for the time it took us to get around the Sea Wall!

Even Fred and Wendy wanted to get down from Old Two Legs arms and have a run!

Last nights food was Doggy Scoff, not the best meal that we've had and it took OTL to scrape some of his gravy from his plastic plate to spice it up a bit! It was Beef in Red Wine whatsit. Not the best meal but it only took twelve minutes to cook in the microwave at top setting and a couple of minutes for the fire to go out!

Better still, he didn't need to wash the plate up, just scrape what's left over Holly's and my scoff and then straight in the bin!

Sorted!

We did have some 'Afters' Cheese and Biscuits, Crisps, Shortbread and a glass of Malt Whisky!

Did I tell you we all slept well?

Do you remember we have a resident rat under the shed? He keeps on coming out to nibble on the bird seed? Well, OTL has had the Rat Trap out again, loaded with bird seed and guess wot?

Yep! Ratty has manged to stay out of the trap!

So, today OTL got the camera out to see if he can 'Capture' Ratty and he did!

Say Hello to Ratty!

Today we got fresh chicken thighs cooked in a splash of extra virgin olive oil and served up all warm and oily!

Yum Yum!

OTL set up the video camera to capture the ferrets doing a 'Breaking and Entering' so in a couple of days we should have it on YooToob!

Lunchtime walk was late 'cos it was bucketing down but that didn't worry us 'cos Holly and I had full tummies!

Snoozing with a full tummy!

Wake me up later for a walk, my tummy is asleep!

TM seems to have done something to her email from Texas, send is OK but Receive is getting lost! Ah! she will have to read this Blog to catch up on what's going on!

Mind you, Sue did that when I mistakenly published the blog when still half way through composing it! Got her all worried it did! Don't worry Sue, Claw Problem!

Eric doing a Beach Shark Impression!

 Both Eric and May were full of it on the beach, they kicked Holly out of her hole and carried on digging!

It's better when the Woofers clear orf!

 Looking at the emails, it looks like The Missus has found the correct button to push! I suppose now she will be on FaceAche instead of this fine blog!

OTL says that we may have Lambs Heart tomorrow, providing he remembers to get the stuff out of the freezer!

Don't worry, we'll remind him!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

She has gone!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a couple of days we have had!

Yesterday it was all rush and tear around chasing our own tails! There were some last minute panics about booking in on line and what bags to declare and in the end we left the booking in until they got to Heathrow and did it in person!

We had to leave at some terrible time in the morning which Old Two Legs had calculated meant we had to get up at four thirty!

OTL was worried about missing the alarm, didn't sleep very well and ended up getting up at four in the morning!

Finally we got to Heathrow and Holly, OTL and I waved and woofed them off as they headed for the booking in desk!

We headed off and got back around nine and it was straight down to the beach for a well deserved wee!

The ferrets didn't mind not going out on the early walk, May and Eric came out at lunchtime and enjoyed a dig in the sand!

All day we have been watching the Internet and following the planes progress across the Atlantic. At the moment they are running down the centre of the U.S.A. and OTL reckons they will land around 21:30hr GMT which is about 15:30CST (CST= Central Standard Time?) They have a lot of time zones over there!

We are heading off for an early night 'cos we are all very tired! OTL reckons they will have slept for most of the way there and should arrive all bright eyed and bushy tailed!

So, night night for now and let's hope it all gets back together again tomorrow!

Watch out we reckon we may even see The Missus leaving some comments on this blog!

Luv,

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

Friday and the Sun Shone!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super day Doris has left us! Yesterday it was all wet and windy and today, sun shine!

Down on the beach we had a good game of 'Dig and Whizz' while Old Two Legs was trying to get Freddy started! Freddy was so taken with the warm sun shine he said he wanted to try some sun bathing, especially as it didn't involve getting wet!

Just like Archie Babe, he doesn't do wet!

Almost deep enough for a swim!

 He found a depression in the sea shells and snuggled down. It was only OTL blowing on the 'Squeaker' that got him up and waddling towards the car!

Nah! Leave me here to catch a few rays while you go and bring the car here!

 It was the same at lunchtime, both May and Eric wanted to stay on the beach all afternoon but OTL had some work to do, so that stopped all the sun bathing today!

All we need is a couple more degrees and it will be splashy time!

Back home Holly and I did some damage to a big bowl of chicken, leaving a few mouthfuls for later on tonight before bed!

The Missus was out with her mates so we didn't get any 'Treats' for eating all our dinner and OTL didn't seem to understand when we were calling out 'Treats! Treats! Treats!'

You know it got so bad that Holly had to get him to move some of TM's plastic boxes full of craft stuff to allow Holly access to the three 'Nodular Biscuits' Miss May hid after opening the cupboard yesterday!

Today OTL was getting a bit worried 'cos while sitting at his desk he could hear a banging sound coming from the kitchen. Yes, it was Miss May again getting into the cupboard to pinch another three biscuits to replace the ones Holly had 'Rescued' earlier. She was trying to get out by pushing the door open with her nose then ducking down to pick up the biscuit and of course the door banged shut!

It was only when she got angry and picked up the biscuit and rushed at the door did she get out!

Another lesson learned!

TM is off on Sunday, so we have been checking up on the stock of grub left for us. If there is not enough then OTL will be down the town with his list of Doggy Food Essentials!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Weasel-like Stinky Thief!

Hello Woofers!

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

Now, I know we have some fans out there who even find the ferrets warm and cuddly!

Did you know they have a Latin name that roughly translates as ' Weasel-like Stinky Thief'!

When we heard that we thought that it was a little rude to call a ferret a 'Stinky Thief'!

That was until we sniffed Wendy going into 'Attack Mode' and letting one go that made our eyes water!

OK then, a bit sniffy maybe, but a thief? Well that was until this morning when Old Two Legs witnessed Miss May doing a 'Breaking and Entering' to get some of our biscuits!

A Safe place to keep our biscuits!

Someone Sniffs food!

Someone works out the 'Hinge Theory'

...and then the 'Lever Theory'

We're In!

A Little 'Leg Up'

Don't forget to bring your tail in as well!

This Breaking and Entering was done four times and at one time she was joined by Eric but he couldn't get his nose in the door and waddled off with the 'Huff'!

Storm Doris arrived and sent some dark clouds down to us, together with a bit of rain that managed to soak us all!

It's Doris's back end!

After our lunchtime walk in the wind, Michael and Sue arrived at the house. We were going to take them down the Sea Wall but they decided that it was too windy, too wet and too cold!

So, they stayed with The Missus while May and Eric, Holly and I went for a stroll!





I was glad to get back, not because it was windy but because I had left a Bonio under my sleeping cushion and I didn't want Holly Chops to find it before me!

She didn't, but she found hers under her cushion!

TM is starting to pack her suitcase ready for her holiday, so many things to sort out, like, do I wrap the binoculars in Bubble Wrap?

I mean, she has loads of clothing in the case, why bubble wrap?

We headed off for a pre dinner snooze and left her to it!

 See you tomorrow!

Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss (Weasel-like Stinky Thief) May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.
