Saturday Fun and Games!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super day! It started off with The Missus getting up very early this morning. You see it is the Master Class today and she had to get all the tables set up and all the stuff ready for the ladies to sling the glue and glitter about!

That means we were woken early by the banging and crashing of all her boxes full of stuff being loaded into the car! Poor Old Two Legs tried putting his head under the pillow but the noise still got through and in the end he had to get up!

Well, you know the result of getting up too early? Yes, that's right, it's still dark outside!

Although it wasn't really dark, OTL was playing with the camera and made it look like it felt, too early!

We don't do early mornings!

 Now, Miss May has been rather tired the last few days and when OTL went to get her so he could put the harness on her, he found she had gone back to bed and was snoozing!

Being a kind sort he decided to leave her snoozing and just take young Eric instead.

It's strange not having her here to boss me about!

 Eric said he felt a bit lost but it wasn't long before he joined in the fun and even tried to nip Holly's back legs!

OK, Who Did That!

Holly didn't see him coming 'cos she was too busy digging a hole!

Eric was playing about and told us that he was from Royal Stock and when he looks in the mirror he can see his Royal Bearing!

Is this Royalty or wot?

Holly says that the only thing that is Royal about Eric is the Raspberry he blows when he has a poo!

Lunchtime the tide was in and I managed to get a quick dip in the water, Sooooper!

Oooooooooh! This feels good!

 Well, it was great fun until Darcy came bounding along the beach, we had not seen Darcy for a good six weeks. Seems that Darcy managed to step down a rabbit hole and pull a leg tendon which hurt!

After some anti-inflammatory pills it seems to be working. I supose it was a bit like when I had a bad leg from catching it on the rocks!

Yo! OTL! I've missed seeing you!

 We all said hello and us woofers had a chat about sniffs and stuff when along the Sea Wall came a Husky looking woofer who was a bit wet. We know that 'cos when he went to OTL for a stroke OTL said 'YUK! A wet and soggy doggy!'

I've been in swimming!

 Back home, OTL has been catching up on his Game of Thrones episodes that have been recorded. Holly and I got a nibble of Doggy Scoff, and as we were both a bit peckish, we managed to get through half a bowl, savine the final half for later tonight before we got to bed!

Sunday tomorrow, with a bit of luck we will get a lay in and the sun will be up when we go out for a walk!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

I'd Like to Make an Appointment please!

Hi Woofers!

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

Another sunny day down here, there was a moment when we thought it might rain but lucky for us it stayed away!

Holly's eyes are getting better and Old Two Legs is running out of ointment! We reckon that by the time it's all gone, her eye will have fully mended!

We were up early today 'cos The Missus was banging and crashing downstairs making a card thingy!

Is it right that you have to bang these 'Works of Art' with a rubber hammer? I mean, saying that you are trying to create an 'Effect' is no excuse!

Down on the beach there was no one to be seen, it was all clear all over the place, just us!

No one is here, just the early morning ship in from Hamburg!

We did see the Two Bob Boys but we were almost back to the car by then!

OTL has been preparing the 'Books' for the new accountant, so we left him alone, until midday when it was time for our walkies!

Down on the beach is was all clear again, no Mini TL's.

It was just great tearing about all over the place looking for a sniff to roll in!

Got One! I've Got One!

 On the path back we found a Green-veined White who was feeling sorry for himself and he has glittery sparkles on the top of his wing!

Must be a 'Crafty Person'!

Do you bang the sparkles with a rubber hammer?

 Back home the ferrets have a run around and Miss May, after her time on the beach said she was feeling a little tired, so she curled up in OTL's hand, wrapped her tail over her nose and fell asleep!

TM took the photograph on her phone and OTL had some fun trying to make it all Arty!

And no, he didn't use a rubber hammer!

When you gotta sleep, then you just gotta sleep!

 Here is OTL's effort and I must say, I really prefer the original picture!

OTL being Arty!

 Miss May has been booked in for her Distemper injection next week, you know it has been two years since she and her sister moved in with us, time flies!

OTL was on the phone making another appointment but this is with the dentist, he has got to go for his yearly checkup. Normally that means a filing or two and tear stains all over his cheque book!

Poor Lad!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's a Ferret sort of day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Ever get one of those days when nothing much happens? Well, today has been one of them.

It started early this morning when we got woken up by The Missus crashing about producing another masterpiece that will have FaceAche going Oooo and Aaaah!

We were out for our morning walk a little earlier than normal and Holly didn't have her medicine until we got back!

As you know, she has got a dose of Conjunctivitis which makes her eyes a little sore and a whole lot of Gungy!

OTL washes all the muck out and puts drops in her eyes which will make it all better!

One of the best things about our hair cut is that we can have a good roll on the beach and have a good shake to throw the sand off leaving just the sniff!

A Doggy's version of Exfoliation!

 Mind you, Miss May joined in as well!

This beats sleeping!

Of course, OTL was jumping up and down but no one was listening!

Holly got her eye drops and we all headed for our bed in OTL's office.

Lunchtime we were down the beach again and this time Freddy and Wendy decided to catch a few rays as the sun had come out.

This is the best way to have a game on the beach, I could even have a snooze!

 Of course, Holly and I were back doing the 'Roll' on the sand again and doing it while at the same time kicking your paws in the air is just the best thing possible!

This is Luxury!

 I must admit, once OTL had stopped shouting, it felt good!

The only thing that would make this better is a load of cool water to swim in!

All the ferrets have been having great fun at home. While their cages get cleaned, they are given the run of the house. Now that is OK but little Wendy has discovered that if she pinches OTL's sock from the washing bin, they can make a very comfortable bed if hidden underneath the sofa!

Miss May has worked out how to open the cupboard in the kitchen where TM keeps our treats. After opening the cupboard May and Eric rummage around and carry off our teeth cleaning chews and some Chicken Twists!

Freddy has found out how to get OTL to open up the Ferretone bottle, he climbs up onto OTL's shoulder then gives OTL's eat a good licking!

Sneaky or wot!

OTL has got Venison Steak tonight, that means I get a nibble of Venison, dipped into some eggy yoke and inside is hidden my pill!

I don't mind OTL hiding the pill 'cos an eggy bit of venison is just soooo tasty!

Tomorrow it's Friday, we get to woof at the dustbin men, that is always good fun!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

OTL's Looking at a Blaster!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, Archie Babe, how did it go at the Poodle Parlour? Did they shave your important places? When OTL had a go at me I had to stand very still when he was waving the scissors between my back legs!

Hey, what do you think of my tail? I reckon it is better than the Poodle Parlour does and I just love the way it folds over my back!

This is Class!

 Freddy was getting a cuddle from Old Two Legs on his way down to the beach. Freddy wanted to have a 'Selfie' of him and OTL. Now, it is a good job that OTL has got long arms 'cos there was no way Freddy could hold the camera!

Pity OTL wasn't looking at the camera!

 While Freddy was playing with the camera, Miss Wendy was off hunting Nargles in the sea weed. We thought she had found one but it turned out to be a small crab with a limp!

That was close, he was waving his claws at me!

 Pretty soon they were both back on the beach having a sniff at all new sniffs that the tide had left behind!

Well, I found this super sniff over there by the bush!

 We got back home just before it started to rain. Not very much rain really, just enough to wash the road and register on OTL's weather thingy, 1.6mm it read!

While the rain was washing the garden, OTL found one of those drying machines that are used to blow dry woofers. This thing was on Ebay and it said 'Buy Now or Make an Offer', so OTL made an offer £13.00 under the Buy Now price.

Let's see what happens, we may end up giving TM's hair dryer back!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A New Year and a New Hair Cut & Blow Dry!

Hi Woofers!

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

I dunno about rain for the next nine days, it's been sunny for ages and no sign of rain anywhere!

Remember I told you about Old Two Legs being in business for ages? Well, today is the first day of the new year and  to mark the occasion, no one ordered a thing!

Which, when you hear the tale, it was a good thing 'cos that means OTL doesn't get disturbed as he gives me a Hair Cut!

Mid morning the man arrived from Amazon and left a package which when opened was found to contain a set of scissors and a steel comb!

The time had come.

OTL decided that he would 'Sort Me Out' after the lunchtime walk.

Holly Chops was trying to wind me up by saying that I'd never look as good as she does and that OTL said it would be easier cutting her hair than mine!

She minced along the Sea Wall wiggling her backside and waving her tail! 

You've either got it or you haven't, and I have!

 We met up with a family of Two Legs with a load of Mini Two Legs. They were making such a noise, and when we got closer we found the Mini Tl's all had mobile phones and were playing some sort of game!

OTL said they could have much more fun if they buried the phones in the sand and then played 'Hunt The Phone Ring'!

Come on, let's dig a hole for the phones!

 Holly sniffed the food they had brought but try as she might they wouldn't let her have a nibble!

I bet they got food down there!

 OTL said that the beginning of the holidays looked like being a warm one here in North Kent and that the sea looked as blue as the Mediterranean, wot ever that is!

Wot is a Mediterranean?

 We still got loads of flowers on the Sea Front and this one caught OTL's eye.

OTL loves flowers but he also has Hayfever, so the flowers are no good to him!

 Well, it couldn't be put off any longer, we got home and I got washed, brushed, blow dried. I then got shaved, snipped and trimmed in all my important places!

As OTL had a little practise with Holly, he was a little more confident when he started hacking away at me!

I was all big and brave and he only had to put those straps on me a couple of times 'cos most of the time I stood still and let him get on with it!

By the time he had finished it didn't look too bad, my whiskers weren't quite level but I'm being picky!

My hair isn't as short as when the Poodle Parlour cut it but I prefer it a bit longer, especially on my legs.

You will have to wait until tomorrow for a better shot but this will give you a taster!

As OTL says, I look like a Shaggy Dogs Tail!

OTL says he is amazed on just how much hair he has shaved off me!

He says that one of the best things is, he has just saved another thirty pounds!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Year End for OTL!

Hi Woofers!

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

We have been fun today, Old Two Legs is doing what he calls 'Year End' which roughly translates as 'Piles of Paper and a New Battery for the Desk Calculator'!

OTL reckons he has been 'In Business' now for twenty three years and tomorrow will be the start of year twenty four!

It has been sunny down here in North Kent, no storms or rain at all. We hear that Izzy's Mum is doing well, she has been dancing around the house with the feather duster!

Now Monday has arrived, all the weekend visitors have cleared off so we get the beach to ourselves!

Just so many sniffs after they have all gone!

Holly woke up with sore eyes this morning, so OTL has made an appointment with the vet to get some ointment for her conjunctivitis!

I'm glad I don't get it 'cos it looks all gungy and her eyes are red and sore as well!

Lunchtime we spotted some Mini Two Legs on the beach with the Grand Parents but we stayed away! I don't like it when they chase after us!

At lunchtime we go to a different car park 'cos the ferrets love to have a run on the football pitch.

Holly keeps on getting chased by Freddy but Holly stays just out of reach!

Catch me if you can Rat Chops!

 Eric does manage to get Holly sometimes but Freddy is a bit slow, but one day he will catch her out you can be sure!

Holly's appointment is at six forty five so I reckon we will be getting dinner early today!

OTL says that the new scissors should be here by Wednesday, so I may get a hair cut soon and OTL says he will have another go at Holly, especially on her 'Boots' 'cos he reckons they need a little more off. Plus of course, her head needs tidying up as well!

Holly reckons that we should have a go at OTL's hair when he needs a trim, he would look great with Punk Hair Do!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Short Back and Whoops!

Hello Woofers!

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

It has been all fun and games here today. As promised, Holly got washed, dried and shaved!

Well, not a full shave, in fact it was not as short as normal when she gets her hair cut.

It started off with Old Two Legs getting everything laid out ready, starting with the bath. Instead of filling the bath up with water, OTL put Holly and a bucket of water into the bath together and then used a plastic jug to pour water over Holly, making sure it doesn't go into her eyes or ears.

I really don't do water!

She got washed all over and to be honest, she didn't like it, not the getting clean but getting wet, you know how Holly Chops is about water!

I'm drowning is sudsy water!

 Once she was clean she got wrapped up in a doggy towel and taken to the shed where OTL had set up the Table of Torture!

Poor old Holly was blasted with hot air from a hair dried loaned by The Missus, until she was dry all over, then the fun began!

OTL fired up the Doggy Hair Cutter and went Zoooooom all over Holly's back and under her tum and then under her tail as well!

Very carefully OTL trimmed around Holly's ears and over the top of her head. He only has some straight scissors, so he wasn't able to get the curve over the top of her head, but it wasn't too bad for a first go!

So, that was it, a first attempt which tuned out not too bad.

Holly feeling all traumatised!

I'm next but I'm not sure when, maybe later when the new set of scissors arrive mid week!

All the photo's were taken by TM who has no real concept of 'Sharp Focus' or 'Hold Camera Steady' so blame her for the 'Fuzzy Edges'! 

Fuzzy edges may go down a storm on her crafting but OTL says it ruins a good photo!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

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

We've been over to the Dark Side!

Hi Woofers!

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

Now today we travelled over to Essex, (The Dark Side)!

Trouble was, we had to be there by nine, so that means we have to be up terribly early and I don't know about you but I am used to having a poo at the right time and on top of that, I need the sunshine as well!

Why were we over in the Dark Side? The Missus had been invited to do a Master Class for some ladies and she didn't want to drive herself, so Old Two Legs got his instructions and we went along for the ride!

After dropping TM off, we headed down to Southend on Sea beach front, loads of Two Legs walking around eating ice cream!

We moved further down the coast and landed at Shoeburyness where we could park the car without being charged a fortune!

OTL was about to let us off the lead when we saw a load of TL's running around the park!

All they were doing is running around in circles!

We stayed on the lead until we got around the corner where we found a big pond!

OTL took a picture of a swan who was all shy and embarrassed about having her picture taken!

No, I haven't brushed my feathers yet!

A bit further we met up with one of the locals who told us about the local sniffs!

Yeah, you can't miss it, first left past the weeing post!

We jumped up onto the sea wall and although we couldn't get onto the beach, at least we could see where we lived!

That's us over there!

Holly wanted to know why we couldn't go onto the beach 'cos she fancied a dig in the sand.

OTL pointed to the notice on the wall!

OK, maybe we won't dig on the beach!

Mind you, it didn't stop some of the locals who couldn't read the notice!

No, don't stamp your paws, it may go bang!

There was a concrete building that had notices all over it saying it was dangerous and everyone should go away!

Only one small problem, birds can't read!

A Barn Swallow with reading problems and some chicks to feed!

After that we found a small wild life reserve in the middle of nowhere and spent some time looking at the butterflies.

Smile for the camera!

There was a Studded Blue that OTL says lives in an area no larger than ten metres square!

Any bigger than ten metres and I get lost!

We stopped for lunch and OTL got himself a sausage roll and two large sausages for Holly and me!

Before long we went back and collected TM who was well pleased with the Master Class!

Now we are waiting for our chicken dinner and off to bed!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

The Torture Machine is here!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it's been all rush and tear today! Old Two Legs has been waving bits of paper around and tutting and blowing and mumbling to himself.

Monday is something he calls 'Year End' and that creates lots of paper and stuff that he just hates doing!

Mixed up with that, he is changing accountants 'cos his man is retiring to a life of peace and quiet away from OTL's books!

We were down the beach early as well 'cos The Missus wanted to borrow the little car. That means we had to 'Get a Move On'!

We don't mind Getting a Move On but we miss out on the hidden sniffs!

Not Fair!

You can tell how early we were up, the sun was still in bed!

Too early for the sun!

 We met up with young Bryn and he nearly got his nose nibbled by Eric!

Eric has got into the habit of trying to give all the woofers a 'Ferret Kiss' which is kiss with his mouth open and inside his mouth he has got some very sharp teeth!

He doesn't care who the woofer is or what size, OTL says he will get himself into trouble one day!

OTL had to pull him back a couple of times before Bryn felt the force of a 'Ferret Kiss'!

After Bryn wandered off, the Two Bob Dogs arrived, Marley and Dylan.

Marley is fascinated by the ferrets but still doesn't know what to make of them and while he looks, he still isn't brave enough to get too close!

Maybe he has heard of a 'Ferret Kiss'!

I'm just not too sure!

Lunchtime we got taken out by TM 'cos OTL was off to pick up our Grooming Table. He had to drive all the way over to Chiswick in South West London.

Loads of traffic!

He picked it up and when he got it set up, Holly and I were invited to 'Try It Out'

First Holly.

I'm not too sure about this, we haven't had to use the belly strap before!

 Holly got let loose and I had a go.

I'm sure that OTL did the belly strap up a bit tighter than he did with Holly!

I'll tell you anything you want to know..........I give in!!!!!!!

 Depending on rain and temperature, OTL says that he may give Holly a 'Shampoo & Set' on Sunday!

I don't mind that, Holly first and if it is a bit ragged around the edges she can always grow some more hair!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

I've been stabbed, OTL has been injured and robbed!

Oooooooo Woofers!

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

Today has not been the best of days!

It started off being all cloudy and dismal looking down on the beach.

Miss May did her best to brighten up the day by having a roll on something smelly that even Holly and I wouldn't touch! 

When the sniff gets you, you just have to roll!

 Mind you, it didn't bring the sun out but we had a laugh at Old Two Legs trying to control two ferrets and two woofers all of whom wanted to do something naughty and in different directions!

You see that Sea Gull? She was tapping the mud to bring the worms up to the surface!

 Me? Well I found me a sniff that had my name on it and didn't it suit me!

It's calling me!

 Lunchtime we were out a little earlier than normal and today Freddy Boy and Wendy came out with us.

Freddy was a little more awake than yesterday but he still needed a carry 'cos it was getting too warm for him.

After delivering the ferrets back to their house we headed off to the vet for our yearly stabbing! Now, normally we would go to the vets on our own but put Holly and me together and we feed off each others vibes.

I was up first and I must admit, I threw a wobbler. You see I suffer wot OTL calls 'Blue Coat Syndrome'  !

There is something about a vet, in a blue coat, holding a whacking great stabbing needle and syringe!

OTL couldn't hold me and Holly, so the nurse was brought in and I got stabbed!

Then it was Holly's turn and it didn't take too much to get her done!

OTL was injured, you see my claws sort of chewed a lump of his skin and there was blood everywhere!

I said I was sorry but he didn't cry, until they presented the bill!

I think that OTL will get his own back tomorrow 'cos he off to collect that grooming table with the straps hang us woofers from!

I reckon one of us will get done this weekend, Holly I hope!

See you tomorrow woofers!

Luv,

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