Found my ball again!

Hello Woofers!

The Gang is here again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

Well, do you remember yesterday when I found that ball? After playing with it I left it under some grass so I could find it again.

Around here balls are like 'Meaty Chews', hard to come by!

This morning I was so pleased to find the ball was still there!

No woofer had pinched it and it hadn't rolled away.

That was it, I showed Old Two Legs where I had hidden it and he kicked it down the path until it went over the Sea Wall and onto the beach!

Ready for a game!

 OTL kicked it down the beach and I chased after it. Holly had a little chase as well be really she doesn't do balls and instead decided to stretch out on the beach to catch a few rays!

Jus' slap on the Factor 35!

 I rather fancied a dip in the sea but it looked a bit too rough to go swimming, so, instead I got OTL to do some more kicking!

Shall I? Shan't I? Shall I? Shan't I? Shall I? Shan't I? Shall I? Shan't I? Shall I? Shan't I?

 After a while I decided to hide it on the beach and see it it stays there over night. I hid it above the high tide mark so, as long as no one pinches it, it will still be there tomorrow!

OK, in front of the sea weed and just ahead of the lump of wood, that should be OK!

 I hope this warmer weather gets up to Archie Babe, we much prefer warm than cold! Mind you, putting the cover on the duvet can get you warmed up!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's Getting Warmer!

Hi Woofers,

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

Well, the weather is getting better! This morning it was still blowing cold from the North Sea but lunchtime it was warm enough for Old Two Legs to change his jacket from the 'Severe Weather' to the 'Wind Proof' one!

Morning Chilly!

 One good thing was that while Holly Chops and I were digging on the beach I dug up a ball! I mean, I thought that I was the only woofer who buried balls!

Look wot I got Holly Chops!

 Fred and Wendy had a good game on the way back, Freddy tried to get a lift by pretending his tail had broken and Wendy almost fell for it!

No! No, don't move me, it hurts too much!

 It almost worked, right up to the time when OTL says 'Wanna Lift Freddy?' where upon Freddy jumps up and runs towards OTL!

Gottcha!

Lunchtime was much better, the wind had dropped right down to almost nothing and the sun came out to warm us up!

It's getting better now!

 May and Eric had a great time on the beach digging holes and chasing Holly. Then they were in and out of all the plant life on the top path. Now the Spring has come they just love diving in and out of the undergrowth. Of course, there are all the sniffs to sniff and holes to investigate!

Hey! Get a load of this sniff!

 Wot is more fun it to run through the path that the ferrets and OTL have flattened over the past two months! It's just like running through the jungle and it so much fun!

Watch out for the Nargles!

Back home Miss May found a new place for a snooze, the inside of OTL's chair! It took about half an hour before she was found, fast asleep and dreaming of digging holes on the beach!

OTL has been promised Steak and Chips tonight, so Holly and I are getting ready to do some serious mugging tonight!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Busy, Busy and It's only Monday!

Hi Woofers!

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

How are you all today? We have been very busy enjoying ourselves and Holly Chops has been hunting nibbles!

You see, when the ferrets are let out in the morning while Old Two Legs cleans their cages, the ferrets go hunting for nibbles and the nibbles favoured by ferrets in this house is................Doggy Treats!

Our teeth cleaning chews and Jumbone treats keep disappearing and we have always suspected the ferrets were doing the thieving!

Holly has decided that she is going to get back our missing treats!

Now, one of the favourite places is under some wicker baskets. The problem is, it is in The Missus store room that is full of crafty stuff. TM has put a step ladder and a folding chair and a couple of big plastic lids in front to stop ferrets getting in.

Stupid eh?

Holly has been using her nose to locate the nibbles and then gives out a series of woofs that gets OTL to come into the store room to see what is wanted!

After moving the chair and steps Holly gets behind the plastic lids and 'Rescues' some of our treats!

Those ferrets are going to be in for a surprise tomorrow!

Fred and Wendy had fun on the beach, both into digging a hole, trubble is, Wendy tried digging a hole under Freddy!

Do you mind watching where you're digging with those claws!

Holly and I spotted a stranger walking along the Sea Wall, so, we took up out defensive positions!

OK, if he gets any closer, you woof and I'll run and tell OTL!

OTL was too busy trying to phonograph an Oyster Catcher that doesn't eat oysters!

Really, I prefer crustaceans and worms!

For the rest of the day OTL has been busy on the office cutting stuff and soldering and crimping and......well, busy!

Today we got served up with some lambs heart, so there are two puppies with big fat tummies today!

Now, I wonder what OTL is having for dinner tonight?

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Sailors and Ball Thieving!

Hello Woofers!

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

Today has been a fun day, it started off with me getting kicked off the bed by The Missus!

I mean, you would not believe that a Two Legs can make such a song and dance about sleeping! Old Two Legs sleeps without moving, just like Holly and me. Maybe a little twitch now and again but mostly zonked out!

Not TM, she has a route march all over the bed, then she plays football, scoring a goal and jumping all over the place to celebrate the goal!

I got kicked out of bed and straight into the back of the net!

A little later than normal I limped out to the car and we were off to the beach!

When we got out of the car we noticed the wind had dropped, it was still coldish but no wind!

We headed off towards the beach, I stopped to investigate a sniff and Holly wandered off. Then, all of a sudden she was jumping up and down, woofing and waving her tail and calling out 'Hello Sailor'!

I thought she had really lost it but I looked over to where she was waving and saw what she saw!

All the Sailors 'Sailing By'

Holly was getting all excited and she didn't see Bert coming along the path wagging his tail!

Bert is in love with Holly but she just acts like a big tart, waggling her tail!

Back home OTL finally finished all his paperwork and set about planning what he is going to do next week!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again and while we were on the beach I saw this old bozo of a sheep dog playing with two balls. Then he dropped one into the water, so, me being a good, kind, helpful woofer, I said I'd pick it up for him!

Touch it and you're a dead dog!

Unfortunately he didn't see it my way and started to grumble at me, just like Holly does when she thinks I'm going to steal her chew!

As if!

Mind you, I must admit that I did have plans for that ball!

Miss May called out that if I attracted his attention, she would run up and grab the ball for me!

Go on, I'm ready to grab it!

It was at that point, OTL stepped in and told me to leave the bozo alone and Miss May had to get back to digging the beach up.

Boo, Hiss!

Eric, he had already decided that the best place to be was as far away from bozo woofers and suicidal ferrets!

I'm off, you're all mad!

It was at that moment that the bozo's own TL came marching along he beach, so it was Bye Bye to the ball and off home we go!

As normal, the whole village was full of visitors cars and all parking had been taken, so, OTL had to put the car on the garage front and as he got out of the car he spotted a very small moth resting on the garage door. Getting his camera out he managed to get this shot. Not bad really, considering the fact that the distance between wing tip to wing tip was only ten millimetres!

This is a Small Dusty Wave

 Talking of waves, Holly has been practising her 'Wave' to everyone we passed and calling out 'Hello Sailors'!

Tart!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

And it's Still Windy!

Hi Woofers!

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

I just don't know what is happening with the weather, little or no rain but loads of wind coming in off the North Sea and this is supposed to be May!

More White Horses heading our way!

When we go down to the beach for our walk, Old Two Legs carries the ferrets in his arms, just until they wake up. In the morning it is Freddy and Wendy who get the first walk of the day and over the last week or two Freddy has been asking to get down for a walk pretty soon after we have left the car!

A short while later Miss Wendy is doing the same thing!

Now, normally we wouldn't worry but a ferret is not as quick as us woofers and that means Holly and I have to wait until the catch up with us. On the way back they are still on the ground running along!

I tell you, these ferrets must be the fittest ferrets in North Kent!

When we get to the beach Wendy and Freddy are straight into the sand digging for all their worth!

If we keep on we could dig a hole to Sheerness!

This morning it was Freddy who was digging for all he was worth.

Freddy, doing a Holly Dog, Stick yer nose in and Run!

Going back to the car can be fun, especially when the ferrets decide to get a spurt on, they run up behind and Holly and I end up falling over them!

Shift yer butt woofers, Ferrets coming through!

It was in the afternoon that I got a chance to have a dig as well. You know it's great fun shifting sand at high speed!

Who needs a JCB when you've got a Woofer!

It must be a 'Digging Day' 'cos when we took May and Eric for a walk, they both had fun digging as well!

Shove your nose in and...........!

Today The Missus has been up the Village Hall with her Master Class where they have all been 'Glue Slapping'!

So, we have been having fun around the place today, OTL has been busy with the paperwork while Holly and I have been snoozing on the sofa!

We got served up with this 'Posh Nosh Doggy Scoff', this time it wasn't too bad, but then, we were starving!

I don't think we have any chance of pinching OTL's dinner tonight 'cos it's Curry & Rice!

With a bit of luck we may get a bit of Naan Bread dipped in curry juice!

Holly reckons we may get chicken tomorrow so keep your claws crossed!

See you tomorrow.

 Luv,

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

Windy or Wot!

Hi Woofers!

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

We love Fridays, we get a chance to woof our tails off at the dustbin men come around making loads of noise with the plastic bins!

Not that the bin men care about us woofing 'cos we are indoors or inside the car!

But it's a woofer thing and we do enjoy a good woof!

When we were out this morning it was very, very windy! It was blowing the waves ashore and producing 'White Horses' on the waves!

Looks too cold for swimming!

 Holly and I were up the beach enjoying the sniffs and as Old Two Legs was trying to get Wendy and Freddy to have a run along the beach but they were still half asleep!

With OTL busy with the ferrets Holly and I had a super roll in the sniffs!

How long do you think we got before he starts shouting?

Of course, as soon as OTL spotted us he was jumping up and down, as normal!

Freddy was looking at the steps that come up from the beach and was trying to decide if they were bigger than the ones we have at home.

Well, I reckon they are bigger and there's no carpet either!

Back home we snuggled up on the bed and spent a good time woofing at the bin men. You see, they send one truck to collect the paper, then there is another to collect the garden rubbish and waste food and after that there is yet another truck that collects the 'Rubbish, Rubbish' !

Three lots of woofs, you can't get better than that! 

Lunchtime, not much has changed except the tide has taken the water out and all we have is sand and rock pools!

May and Eric had trouble getting going when they got onto the beach. It had been so comfortable and warm being tucked up in OTL's arms on the way down to the beach.

No, I don't want to start walking either!

Of course, in the end they had to get moving and it was a run all the way back to the car!

OTL has got to make a decision regarding tonight's dinner, does he have ham salad or a whole pizza. Now, a ham salad is supposed to be good for him but there is more green stuff than ham, so that means Holly and I will not get our full share of ham!

Now, if he has a pizza, that means Holly and I will get the sausage slices from the topping, but, eating a whole pizza will end up with OTL getting indigestion later on tonight when he is asleep!

I think it will be a ham salad which is rather boring!

We hope Archie Babes visit to the vet goes well, an itch butt is not a thing I would wish on anyone. Holly knows all about itchy butts. When she gets the grumbly tum she has to rub her butt on the ground, not that it helps but it sort of arranges her butt that needs a good wash!

Yep! OTL was busy with the wet wipes 'cos Holly still has the grumbly tum but it's getting better!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another wet one!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's done it again! The clouds sort of ganged up and the next thing we knew was the frogs were complaining they were getting wet!

We looked at the rain radar and decided to get going before the main cloud arrived with all that rain!

Let's get a wee done and back to the car!

Before we headed back Two Legs got a shot of the old tower in the middle of the estuary and it wasn't until we looked at the picture that we saw some writing on the wall, it says 'Lurker'...........no neither do we!

All we need is some sun shine!

 Back home OTL was cleaning the ferret cages, his morning chores, the ferrets have a great time 'cos OTL makes each cage cleaning last about an hour. That way the ferrets get a good rampage around the house, getting into trouble and messing about in The Missus's crafty stuff!

Have you ever seen a ferret with glitter on its tail!

Holly has been troubled with a Grumbly Tum over the last couple of days but today she had an irresistible urge to eat some grass.

Now I know what that means, you just gotta have some grass. Unfortunately the carpet in OTL's office doesn't have any grass growing out of it, so we needed a walk!

Holly did the jumping up and hitting the back of OTL's chair. OTL being a good OTL got us dressed in our harnesses and the ferrets boxed up in their travelling cage and off we went at eleven thirty!

Holly soon disappeared into the undergrowth looking for some grass and a place to poo!

I ran down to the beach but the tide was still far out so I had some fun running up and down the beach.

Come on! Catch me if you can!

 As we got to the end of the beach it started, drip, drip, the rain started. So, what could we do? That's it, head back to the car!

Holly was ahead of us so we all started to chase Holly Dog along the top path. There were times when the ferrets were keeping up with me!

Come on you two, not far now!

Holly slowed down a little 'cos she just couldn't resist stopping at a patch of grass that looked tasty!

I caught up with Holly and the ferrets were catching up fast!

I'm not getting any closer to her backside, she's got the Grumbles!

Back home we were served up with chicken, that filled our tummies and we headed off to the office for a snooze under the desk until dinner time!

Now, we liked the idea that we become official tasters for the Doggy Scoff Factory but so far we haven't found any scoff that even tastes like food. Can you imagine it, Here Is Our Report.........tastes like poo!

I don't think we would be employed for very long!

So, I think we will keep robbing OTL for now!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Damp Woofers R Us!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a Yucky Day!

It has been wet and drizzly all day today.

The rest of the UK has been all sun shine and balmy breezes but down here in North Kent, it has been WET!

The ferrets were all up for a run this morning, the outside temperature was just right for them but the wet grass did have an effect on their fur, it got them wet all over!

It was the same for Holly and I, wet tummy, wet paws, wet back, wet tail and a wet head as well!

Of course, when we decided to go into the undergrowth for a wee or a poo, we got wet all over!

You in there Holly Chops?

Of course, Old Two Legs was all wrapped up in his winter jacket which kept him all warm and dry.

Us woofers had to make do with a rub down with our Doggy Towel when we got back to the car.

So, yesterday we had chicken and the day before, Lambs heart but today what did we get?

Posh Scoff!

Now normally we get a 10p tin of Doggy Scoff which tastes horrid but after a serious chat with The Missus she agreed to get us some scoff that tastes like meat.

Today we got served up with this Posh Expensive Scoff.

It sniffed Horrid, tastes like Poo!

We are not happy woofers!

We just hope that OTL has some decent scoff we can pinch otherwise I think we will starve tonight and be poor little woofers who have wasted away over night!

See you all tomorrow, if we are still here that is!

Luv,

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

Birds and The Bees!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot sort of Bank Holiday did you have? We decided that it could have been warmer!

Now, today started out being a lot warmer, in fact, Old Two Legs even put on his light weight jacket and that is the one reserved for warm days!

This morning on the beach Wendy and Fred even went for a walk in the rock pools!

Mind you, they had to keep a watch out for those crabs and Nargles!

Well, it's warm enough for Nargles!

 As we were coming off the beach we heard a cuckoo giving it some and it wasn't too long before we spotted it sitting up the top of a tree.

OTL had his telephoto lens on the camera and he managed to get this shot.

Cuckoo giving it some!

 Maybe later we will be able to get a better shot when the sun comes out and he is in full voice!

 Lunchtime we were down the beach again with May and Eric hunting Nargles! Eric was ducking and diving amongst the rock pools. Just like Freddy, no Nargles were seen!

No Nargle sniffs here!

 Although it was warm, the clouds looked like they were holding a lot of water so I decided that I should have myself a really good roll in some sniffy stuff on the beach.

You should have seen OTL jumping up and down and yelling 'Noooooooooooooo!'

He had the ferrets on their leads so he couldn't get to me!

Success! 

Yo! OTL, you can't catch me!

 Mind you, Miss May was helping me by trying to get OTL to pick her up for a carry!

Go on, just a little carry?

 As we headed up the grass path OTL spotter a Shrill Carder Bee munching away on the flowers.

Now, the wind was wafting the flowers about so we didn't get a super sharp photo but one good enough to identify the bee.

I know I'm a rare bee but I'm also hungry!

I reckon that pretty soon OTL will be bringing the big camera with the macro lens so he can try for some other insect photo's!

We were sad to hear that Barney is heading for the Rainbow Bridge but if he is hurting it is the best for him.

We are happy that you have seen the frogy's in your garden Archie Babe, we have some in the pond but the number has reduced and we think they have all disappeared into the grass and 'Wild Life Garden' at the end of our garden!

It's all go here! Birds, Bees and Frogs!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Monday, Monday.

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, did you know the banks were all closed? Old Two Legs managed to get into his bank account by going 'On Line' so he's not too worried about banks closing!

We were expecting a sunny day today but it was rather overcast this morning, in fact it was rather yucky!

I don't suppose we'll get a sun tan today!

We didn't even stop for a dig on the beach, mainly 'cos it started to rain and you know just how much Holly Chops loves rain!

Back home it was another lazy day, OTL did his chores, played with the ferrets, sorted out the cages and then took a quick look at some paperwork on top of his desk. He didn't look at it for too long 'cos it was his Tax Return and he says that he doesn't like Tax Returns 'cos they cost him money!

Lunchtime we got into a big storm, well, it rained enough to put the windscreen wipers on full time!

Down on the beach the rain was still there but only in light showers. Not enough to keep us in the car but wet enough to get yer tum wet when you walk on the grass!

Being a Bank Holiday there were loads of visitors to our beach and there were some Two Legs waving metal detectors over the sand! One of them said they had found a pound coin!

Then there were the woofers, loads of them, OTL was having trouble picking the ferrets up every time we spotted a woofer!

Look! More Woofers!

 It was good to get back home, at least it was dry in doors and we could enjoy a good snooze!

Back to work tomorrow and of course there is that horrid Tax Return!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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