Sunday as it should be!

Hello Woofers!

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

Wot a super day it's been. We have had sunshine almost all day today.

Last night Old Two Legs wanted to stay up and try some photographs of the meteors that were supposed to be flying in but when he looked there were clouds, high up, so no stars and no meteors either!

Still, this morning on the beach he got a shot of the moon, well the first is wot he took and the second is wot he produced on the computer!

Well, wot do you expect with just a 35mm lens?
 After a bit of playing about..........

Same picture, cropped, zoomed in and fiddly diddly on the computer!
We saw a couple of woofers walking along the Sea Wall but in the end they turned off the path and headed back to the car park!

Look! Woofers!
 Back home it was cage cleaning and then OTL took down the weather monitoring thingy from the roof. It has been giving some funny readings lately, like temperature out side being 90 degrees and humidity 100%!

He got it down, reset it all, cleaned out the rain gauge, re-booted the system and found out it didn't change much!

Me thinks the system is going into terminal decline............it's stuffed!

So maybe he will be looking at another system with a bit more life in it!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again, loads of tourists wandering about and the car park full. We normally park around the corner at lunchtimes but today we didn't take the ferrets 'cos it was too warm. They stayed snoozing while we went off sniffing!

Holly and Daisy sniffin' for rabbits!
 Holly has been looking for rabbits on our walks but lately they have been hiding, still, she is taking up 'Point' while I stay behind for a sniff!

They are here, I just know they are here!
 The Missus has been up the Village Hall with her  Master Class again and has been producing some 'Journal Pages' which look rather interesting!

OTL is off to the dentist tomorrow, seems they have invited him in for a 'Check-up', it goes like this.

'Open Wide..........Mmmmmmm! You need a filling or two, the inspection is an arm and a leg and the fillings will be another arm and a leg. Oh! and by the way, the injections will not work until you are out of the chair and half way home!'

Poor OTL, it is as expensive as a vet bill!

Mind you, we always have the opportunity of biting the vet!

Can you bite the dentist?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Short Back and Sides and a Bit off the Butt!

Hello Woofers!

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

We like Saturdays, you see there is always a chance that The Missus is off to her Master Class or Gas & Glitter Day at the local village Hall. That leaves us in the hands of Old Two Legs who, after doing all his jobs, has a game with the ferrets and then Holly and I!

First thing this morning we were down on the beach and looking at the clouds we thought we might be in for some rain!

Early Morning on the North Kent Coast
 We started off by having a roll in the sand. Well, to start off the ferrets did all the rolling and we had to stand back and wait!

Anyone would think they owned the beach!
 Miss May hadn't had a run yesterday so she was well up for a good roll, she even tried kicking Eric out of the hole!

When you haven't had a roll for some time, the first roll feels just great!
 I thought that I'd have a go at getting them out but Eric got all big and brave and tried to give me a 'Ferret Kiss'!

Gerroff out of our hole!
Back home OTL set about doing his jobs and when he started off cleaning Eric and May's cage he had a nasty shock. There were two piles of poo that were red!

I mean, if Holly or I had done something like that we'd be straight off down the vet's complete with blue flashing lights and loud sirens!

After the first bit of panic, OTL took a closer look at piles of poo.

Now, a little while ago we took delivery of a box of Ferretone and the supplier had put a packet of Ferret Treats in with the Ferretone. Eric loved the treats and so did Freddy Boy. May and Wendy didn't bother, so the lads made pigs of themselves.

Unfortunately, the treats were covered in a vegetable dye which turned their poo blood red!

OTL dumped the treats, fearing there may be stuff in there that might upset their tummies!

On inspection of the poo piles, they were exactly the same colour!

Panic over!

It looks like one of the ferrets had hidden the treats only to be dug out again from under the piles of stuff in TM's Store Room!

After all the jobs had been done Holly got another Bath and hair cut!

As she was the first to be 'experimented on' by OTL and his clippers. She was OK on the body but her legs ended up being a bit 'Hairy', so, OTL did a quick trim on her back and tummy then set about doing her legs. Holly was a good girl and although she wiggled about a bit, most of the time she stood still.

OTL says that he may have another go next week and try to improve the 'Cut'.

He also says that I may get a trim as well, mind you, he'll have to catch me first!

While he was clearing everything up he managed to trip over and hurt his ankle, poor lad, that will teach him to pick his paws up!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's Friday, again!

Hi Woofers!

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

We got up late today, Old Two Legs over slept by a whole thirty minutes!

You just can't trust these TL's!

When we went in to see the ferrets we noticed that Miss May was looking a bit off colour. She had got what Holly suffers from........Grumbly Tum!

She was all well yesterday, bright as a button but this morning all she wanted to do was go back to bed!

OTL cleared out the cage and shovelled out all the poo!

Miss May was put back to bed while Eric got ready for a run on the beach.

Getting out a bit later than normal we noticed that everyone had come and gone!

We had the place to ourselves!

Holly and I had a run up and down the beach while Eric decided that he would try a little sunbathing.

It's no good, I'm missing May!
He would normally have a game with May but today he was on his own and you could tell he was missing her.

We got back and she was still sleeping in her bed but when she heard us she wanted to get out and have a little rampage around the house!

It didn't last long and after a couple of poo's she decided to go back to bed.

She has been waking up during the day for a cuddle with OTL and slurp of Ferretone, then she is back off for another snooze!

We hope she get's better soon.

OTL has been 'Manufacturing' and even The Missus helped, well she took the stuff down to the carrier for shipment!

Lunchtime Fred and Wendy came out for a walk but it was getting a bit warm, so Freddy kept blagging a lift off OTL!

Tomorrow OTL reckons that it would be good to give Holly another haircut 'cos her 'Boots' are looking too big!

As she was the first that OTL tried out the clippers on she has one or two 'Mistakes'!

So, providing the sun is shinning she is destined for a bit of serious pampering!

TM is off to her Master Class so after the cage cleaning and hair cutting we are going to sit down and watch the Game of Thrones that has been recorded!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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