Another Frost Morning.

Hello Woofers!

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

When we got up this morning it was another of those, 'is it?' Days! You see there was loads of frost everywhere and a good lump of fog so we had to look twice 'cos we thought it was snow on the cars!

Lucky for us, by the time we got to go out the fog had sort of drifted away, well most of in had and we just had to wait for the car engine to heat up enough to melt the frost on the windscreen.

Holly and I were huffing and puffing trying to warm up the air but it took it's time as it normally does!

One good thing as far as Old Two Legs was concerned, there was a good sunrise over the Grain Peninsula!
Sunrise over Grain.
We didn't take May and Eric with us 'cos it was rather cold, even though there was no wind, it was still frosty. Eric went back to bed and didn't wake up until we got back!

It wasn't such a heavy frost but it was certainly cold enough for us to wear our Flying Jackets!

It will be warmer when the sun creeps over the buildings in Sheerness!
Down on the beach we had some fun sniffing the sniffs and rolling in them!

Not that we cared if OTL told us to stop!

I've got my Anti OTL Filter on today, just can't hear a thing he says!
Back home we headed for our bed while OTL got going on the Poo Shovelling and trying to wake Freddy from his deep sleep.

He was so snoozy that he fell out of bed, slowly, and didn't even notice OTL putting the cushion under his head!

Gone, Solid one!
 Lunchtime the frost had disappeared and the sun was out. There was no wind at all and the waves were tiny, however, I was still not allowed to go in swimming!

It still looks cold!
Now, wot's all this about Izzy's mum getting the sniffles? You would have thought that by now she had learnt that Mini Two Legs are carriers of the most terrible cold and flu germs know to the world!

They can be alright but they spread the germs all over the place!

OTL says that all children should be put in barrels until they are fifteen and then have the bung hammered in!

I'm sure he was joking, wasn't he?

A super bowl of chicken today, real woofer food and both Holly and I fell asleep after eating it all!

Super!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Damp Sniffs Today!

Hi Ho Woofers!

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

Now, wot a change from yesterday, I mean, it was almost mild down on the beach!

All the frost had gone and although there was damp, it wasn't too bad!

Mind you, May and Eric said it was too damp on the beach and managed to blag a lift until we got to the hill! Of course, then it was straight into the grass for a sniff and a run back to the car park!

I don't mind the cold but it's a damp paw I object to!
It seems that although they all have fluffy coats our ferrets are really happier in doors where it's warm!

You can tell that 'cos they seem to be more 'active' when they are jet out of the cage.

Freddy has a great time playing 'Tickle Tummy' and doesn't need a second invitation to 'Roll Over'!

Come on, just one more tickle!
Today has been a bit slow so Old Two Legs has been tidying the office up and playing with the camera. All we were getting was Flash!.......Flash!............Flash!.........Flash!

If that flashes one more time I'm going wee on it!
 Lunchtime Freddy and Wendy came out with us 'cos it was warm enough for a walk. They played the normal game with OTL, you know, wriggle, wriggle, get down, crawl up OTL's leg, get picked up, wriggle, wriggle, get down, crawl up OTL's leg, get picked up again!

They had him on the go almost all the way to the football field!

When the sniffs are damp you have to work hard to find them!
This afternoon has been just as busy as this morning and both Holly and I retired to bed to catch up on our sleep!

Holly has just spotted the Doggy Scoff Tin, it's going to be 'One of Those Days'!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Woofing Cold!

Hi Woofers!

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

This has been a seriously cold day today!

I poked my nose out of the curtains first thing, it was still dark but it looked like it had been snowing! On a closer look I worked out that instead of snow it was fog, freezing fog and horrible thick frost on all the cars!

That means we had to sit in the car with the engine running and wait until the windows were de frosted!

It wasn't any better when we got to the car park!

Not even a Bunny playing snowballs!
 Of course Old Two Legs was tickled pink 'cos the frost means there are plants with frost on them.

He found this one that had the frost but also there were also some black seed pods to enhance the frosty bits!

Pretty but still blooming cold!
 We met up with Max and Oscar who had their warm coats on. We had never seen these types of coats on sale and OTL says that they looked dead smart!

The jackets OK but my butt gets cold if the wind blows the wrong way!
Back home we retired to the bed for a warming snooze while OTL 'De Pooed' the ferrets cages and after a bit of playing on the computer we decided to leave the ferrets at home and head off to see if it was any warmer!

It wasn't!

In fact not only cold but it was wet as well!

Let's not hang about too much!
 As we were walking down to the beach we spotted a seriously Bozo Bozo charging about in the mud flats chasing the sea birds!

I mean, that woofer has some serious problems 'cos he took no notice of his Two Legs and spent all the time charging up and down the mud chasing birds!

A serious case of Bozoism!
 We stood there for a couple of minutes before walking back towards the car. We came across his TL who didn't look as though she was going to very happy when he finally came out of the mud!

But was he enjoying himself!

You know, there are some dogs that give woofers a bad press!
We left him to it and were soon back home where we could sniff chicken being cooked!

It's going to be a good night!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Day with OTL.

Hi Woofers!

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

Yep! It's Saturday and The Missus is off to the village hall for a fun day of glue & glitter slapping!

That means we get to have some fun with Old Two Legs!

It started off with us getting up about two hours later than normal! You see TM & OTL went out last night for a super evening with some friends and fellow glue slapper! That means they didn't get home until nearly midnight! In fact it was so late that they asked Auntie Sheila to come and let us out for a wee before bedtime!

We think Auntie Sheila is wonderful!

When we finally got out to the car it was covered with frost and it took ages for the car to heat up enough to de frost the wind screen!

Cold or wot!
Down on the beach it was frosty and cold and of course the sniffs were all frozen so we couldn't explore any new sniffs!

Cold Sniffs for us!
 Holly and I explored the whole beach but sniff were hard to come by. Holly even suggested we try some digging but OTL pointed out that he had cleaned and applied cream to Holly's eyes and it wasn't a good idea to throw sand about!

It's not the same when your paws are cold!
 OTL was thinking of a photographing something funny but to be honest, there wasn't much about that had us rolling on the ground!

Then we spotted it, well Holly pointed it out first, a giant OTL!

Well, you can't call him 'Short House'!
 Lunchtime Freddy and Wendy came down the beach but decided that after a quick wee, a carry was more preferable!

It's a bit chilly on the ground!
 On our way back we crossed the football field and Freddy decided he fancied a stroll especially as the sun had melted the frost on the grass. Miss Wendy was chasing after me cos she wanted to join in the sniffing!
 
Hey! Save a sniff for me!
 Freddy wasn't so worried about the sniffs 'cos he was just enjoying a stroll across the grass!

I do love a stroll where I don't get my tummy wet!
On our way back the ferrets dropped into the village hall to wish all the ladies Merry Christmas and get a stroke and a cuddle. Holly and I stayed in the car 'cos OTL said we couldn't be trusted to stay away from all the food!

As if!

Back home we mugged OTL for a bit of his lunch and then settled down to watch some telly and await TM's return.

I wouldn't mind betting that TM will be off to bed as soon as it gets dark!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Do you get the feeling Winter is here!

Hi Woofers!

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

This morning first thing it was rather mild, in fact, it was very nice walking along the beach and dashing along the Sea Wall. The wind was gently blowing in from Essex and the sky showed us that there was a 'Front' coming in!

Looks like it could be cold when that from reaches us!
We didn't hang around 'cos Holly Chops had an appointment with the vet this morning to see about her eyes.

I didn't go with her 'cos Old Two Legs said that I 'Wound Her Up'. Me? As if!

Well, the vet had a look and poked around and OTL had to give a history of Conjunctivitis and Holly. After about three minute's the vet agree to dispense the eye stuff Holly had before and they were kicked out to pay the bill!

OTL was sobbing all the way home, he reckons he should retrain and become a vet and be rich!

Back home there was a gigantic bowl of chicken waiting for us both and we both ended up with rather big tummies!

We were late in getting out at lunchtime, in fact it was nearer afternoon than midday before we set paw out of the door!

The 'Front' had arrived, there was a stiff breeze blowing in from Essex and it was making our eyes water!

We turned to head up to the beach and with the wind blowing our tails about OTL was muttering about having to go back!

Cold enough to freeze your butt off!
We soon found out what he was talking about, it was not nice! OTL was saying that it felt as though his eyeballs had frozen solid!

He spent all the time walking back with his eyes closed!

Com on OTL, just follow my voice!
It wasn't until we got back to the car that he was able to open his eyes!

OTL has spent the afternoon on the telephone and computer making it look like he was doing something important!

Now, as you read yesterday, Mrs Sue is visiting us next week and wanted to know what to bring, well, a couple of small suggestions!

20 x Crispy Skinned Chickens
10 x Beef Steak, medium rare
4 x Well stuffed Turkeys (Crispy Skinned)
24 x Packs of Teeth Cleaning Chews
14 x Raw Hide Chews
10 x Fresh Carrots, all crunchy like.
4 x Packs of Bonio Biscuits

I'm sure to think of some more but I don't want to look greedy!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

The Ferrets get an outing!

Hi Woofers!

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

It was a bit warmer this morning so when it came to our walk, Old Two Legs also got Eric and May dressed up in their harnesses!

Eric wasn't too happy about going out but May said she could do with a breath of fresh air!

Mind you, we have noticed that all the ferrets were going 'Stir Crazy' stuck indoors all day!

Down on the beach Eric decided that the sand was too wet and too cold for him and managed to get a carry from OTL!

I don't care about sniffs, my paws are cold!
 Holly and I didn't mind the cold sand cos we we dashing up and down the beach!


This is better than yesterday!
Back home we were expecting a bowl of chicken but when we were called for breakfast, it was Doggy Scoff!

Oh! This is just too much, Holly was even talking leaving home!

That was before the Postman called. We had a big box delivered and The Missus said it was from Archie Babe and it sniffed of several very interesting sniffs!

Food Sniffs!

Is Archie Babe sending food parcels to us poor beleaguered  woofers?

TM says it can't be opened before Christmas!

A woofer can die of hunger if it was all left up to TM!

Lunchtime we were back down the beach again and to help us get over the hunger pangs Holly and I got into trouble 'cos we were nibbling away at the grass!

Freddy and Wendy decided to have a dig on the beach but the sand was still cold so instead they went for a sniff along the path back to the car!

I'd almost forgot what the sand felt like!
Back at the football field we were greeted by Darcy, who we bumped into yesterday. OTL was pleased to see Darcy and Darcy was tickled to meet up with OTL again!

Back home we heard OTL talking on the telephony thing booking Holly into the vets tomorrow morning at Nine Thirty. You see the conjunctivitis she had a few weeks ago didn't really clear up and she has a little bit of muck in the corner of her eye after a nights sleep. OTL has been washing her eye but it hasn't cleared up, so, back to the vet, get some more stuff to put in her eye and hopefully get it cleared up before Christmas!

As I said to Holly that she aught to be thankful that she doesn't need to be stabbed!

I'll let you know what happens!

If we don't die of hunger over night!

Bye Bye for now.

Luv,

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

It's a 'Drab Day' but Profitable!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, it's been a funny sort of day, we woke up a little later than normal 'cos it was so warm and snugly tucked up close to Old Two Legs.

Downstairs The Missus and Holly were making a card with some tinsel on the top!

We had missed the sunrise or the sun was still in bed as the picture tells us!

No Sun and loads of Drab!
 One of the good things to happen was young Barny II came bounding along the Sea Wall to greet OTL and say good morning to us.

Yo Girls! And good sniffs?
 On a damp drab day like today the sniffs were hard to come by!

They have all gone! Nothing but rabbit poo!
 Lunchtime it was still the same except it was raining! We didn't hang about too long and back in the car park OTL met up with Darcy who we haven't seen for ages!

Not the brightest vista!
 Back home OTL got an order on email and set about doing the manufacturing and he was able to confirm the order and delivery for Friday!

He was quite a happy Two Legs as so far this month it has been a little slow, nothing unusual really but it was nice to get the order!

We have been doing some serious sniffing in the kitchen and Holly reckons that there is some steak thawing out. That means we can do some serious mugging tonight!

Let's hope tomorrow it is a bit warmer 'cos the ferrets all look like they are going 'Stir Crazy'!

Although they have been quite pleased with their time rampaging around the house, they say they have missed the sniffs!

Let's see what tomorrow brings!

Luv,

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

Cold Start!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wasn't it blooming cold last night?

I had to cuddle up to Old Two Legs just to stay warm!

We didn't get up so early and managed to get down to the just as the sun was poking its face above Sheerness!

Blooming cold but just look at that sky!
 When we got into the car OTL said it was showing minus three! I suppose that means it's cold and to be honest, we didn't need an instrument to tell us that!

Now, being a woofer we just can't get our brains around the concept of 'Minus'!

I mean, One, two, three and any other number I can understand but 'Minus' doesn't do anything!

You have either got it or haven't, but you just can't have Minus!

The beach was frozen solid and the sand was as hard as concrete, so that means no rolling on the sand today!

We were OK in our Flying Jackets and OTL said we looked like Biggles and Algernon, whoever they are!

Come on, chocs away Algy!
 The lunchtime walk was better, the temperature had gone up and we had lost the 'Minus' thingy!

 In fact it was so good that we didn't need our jackets even though there was still some frost on the ground!

This is still hard enough for a landing strip Algy!
We had some fun woofing at the Two Legs when we went with OTL to do some deliveries and when we got back, there was some chicken waiting for us. So that was a bonus and better than the Scoff we were served yesterday!

The ferrets haven't been out for a few days now 'cos of the cold and wet. They are let out for an hour at at time for a rampage around the house and only get put back in their cages when they fall asleep under the sofa!

It's a good job we don't fall asleep under the sofa and anyway, it's much softer on top!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Not a day for swimming!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a day!

Our first foray into the wild weather was about seven this morning, a quick wee and back in doors.

Well, that's the normal thing.

Not today

Today it was 'Stick yer nose out, engage reverse and back indoors'!

It was horrid!

Old Two Legs got us all dressed up in our rain coat and dragged us...........I repeat......DRAGGED US into the car and along the Sea Wall!

I'm not kidding you but there were 'White Horses' than waves on the sea, all courtesy of a strong North Wind!

Well, it was us suffering and OTL was suffering as well. The rain drops were being blasted by the wind and even OTL reckoned that the rain drops had pointed ends and were designed to kill at twenty paces!

We didn't take the camera and anyway there was no way we would hang about while he was clicking away!

Back home we curled up on the bed until lunchtime.......................the weather was still same, cold wet and painful!

We didn't hang about!

Like this morning, we retired to bed and snoozed!

Another reason for snoozing, Doggy Scoff! Holly reckons we should change our eating house and get our food at the local restaurants!

The only problem with that idea is we don't have any money and these restaurants don't take Bonio Biscuits as payment!

We are off to rob OTL of some of his dinner, well, we got have some fun!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Snow!

Yo Woofers!

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

Well what a knight we have had, yesterday The Missus came back from the village hall complaining about a sore throat and being 'Short of Breath'!

She retired to bed early but by the time we got to bed she was doing that annoying 'Mini Cough'.

That went on most of the night and she kept waking us up!

I think that a cough syrup is on the cards!

So, very early this morning Old Two Legs couldn't stand it and up he gets for him morning shower.

You know, it was so early that the heating hadn't switched on yet!

It's OK about getting up early but it also means we are out before it gets light!

Now a run in the dark is always fun but on the way down to the beach, it started to snow!

Well, it ain't Dandruff!
So coupled with the snow and the wind and the rain, Holly and I did the quickest 'wee and a poo' walk we have ever done!

Back home we got a rub down to dry off the wet and headed off to the bedroom for a snooze to catch up on our missed sleep!

OTL went into the office and let May and Eric out for a run and while they were taking a break by resting in the travel cage, OTL told them about the quick walk and the lightening quick poo!

Eric was laughing his whiskers off as OTL relayed the tale!

Wot a pair of potty puppies!
We waited until the sun came up before looking out of the window, the snow was still there but it didn't last too long and by the time the cars got to drive up and down the road it was melting away!

The first snow of Christmas!
We left OTL to get on with some work before heading out again for the beach.

On the way out we noticed that the snow had almost gone, but we sniffed the wind and Holly said there was some more of the white stuff on it's way!

She has got a good nose like that!

Sure enough, half way around the walk, the snow started again!

That was it, home was calling and a nice soft bed!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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