Loads of Rubbish!

Hi Woofers!

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

Old Two Legs was up a whole twenty minutes late today, so, that means we were late in getting down to the sea front. There were no woofers down there so it was a quiet stroll along the Sea Wall and plenty of time for a sniff!

It's a bit drafty but at least the sky is blue!

One of the thing planned for today is to get the caravan ready for tomorrow and also get rid of a load of rubbish down the Municipal Tip!

Now, if you are a woofer you are guided by your nose and a Municipal Tip is a place that provides sniffs in abundance!

Unfortunately OTL wouldn't let us out of the car 'cos woofers aren't allowed out of the cars!

We did have the windows down in the car so we could enjoy the sniffs and woof at other Two Legs who were getting rid of all their sniffy rubbish!

Back home little Eric was playing his normal trick of rattling the cage door and driving OTL mad!

So, it wasn't too long before Eric and OTL were heading for the football field again!

Eric really got into this solo walking and decided he would have a run and run he did! He was even doing some jumps as well! There were some mini two legs playing in the field and of course they spotted Eric dancing around and came over for a stroke and take some pictures as well!

By the time Eric got back he was a little worn out and it wasn't too long before he was asleep!

We left OTL to get on with his work and set about snoozing under his work space!

Tomorrow will be fun, we will be off with OTL to get new tyres fitted to the caravan and we will be going with him to make sure they put the wheels on properly!

We'll let you know what happens!

Bye for now.

Luv,

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

A Bumblebee Bomber!

Hi Woofers!

Guess who? Yes, it's Daisy, Holly, Miss May. Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret!

You know, we thought that we had the only Two Legs who used a smoke alarm as a cooking timer!

You know, we even have one in the caravan!

Maybe that's why Old Two Legs prefers a Take-a-Way when he is on holiday, less chance of being fried to a crisp!

The sky has been cloudy today and the threat of rain has been there but luckily, just wind and grey clouds!

An April Morning!

Holly and I had a close shave today, not the shave with the electric razor though!

Let me tell you.

After our morning walk we normally get to have a snooze on the bed while OTL does his cage cleaning and the ferrets get a chance of a rampage around the house. Now, to let the sniff of the TL's out, the bedroom window is left open and by the time OTL is finished the air is nice and wooferfied!

Well, today, there we were snoozing gently when there came a thunderous buzzing sound!

Holly and were up and on guard duty in a flash!

Then we spotted it, a thumping great Bumblebee and honest, it was the size of Robin!

It was all angry and buzzing like an electric drill!

I'm a good catcher of flies and they sometimes get into the house but there was noway I was getting close to that thing!

Both Holly and I stayed on the bed and woofed our tails off until OTL came is and with the help of his Indiana Jones hat, scooped the bee up and tossed it out of the window!

He is so brave sometimes!

I don't care, there was no way I was going near that buzzing bee!

Mid morning OTL went off to set up renewing the tyres on the caravan and on Friday he has an appointment!

When he came back young Eric de Ferret was getting all excited and was rattling the cage door wanting to get out again for another rampage!

OTL got fed up with Eric's cage rattling and got Eric dressed up in his harness and took him out for a run across the football field behind our house!

He just loved that, all on his own, he ran around all over the place!

OK, where is the ball?

 Lunchtime we were out again and yes, Eric was up for another run! This time Miss May was with him and the pair of them had a great time ferreting about in the grass!

No Buzzing things here!

Tomorrow we have got to get the caravan emptied of stuff  'cos OTL has got to fit a new battery, so there is going to be fun as we play in the caravan while he is working outside!

Let's hope it doesn't rain!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Back to April Weather!

Hi Woofers!

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

We are back to normal again! Gone are the sunny days, the warm sun shiny breezes and everyone smiling at us!

It's back to typical April weather, grey sky's, threat of rain and temperature going down so fast we think it has crash landed in the sea!

Old Two Legs didn't go out in the garden to have a rake of the weeds. He has put down a plastic sheet to kill off the weeds and is planning to get a couple of bags of stones to keep the sheeting from blowing away!

On our morning walk we met up with a couple of Husky Type Woofers and of course they both headed for OTL so they could get a tickle on the tail!

Wot Big Blue Eyes You Have Got!

 The sun was behind the clouds but we couldn't entice it out any further!

No Sun Today!

 Lunchtime we took Freddy and Wendy out for a run. Wendy was all up for a jog around the park but Freddy Boy just didn't fancy exercising his legs and got OTL to carry him especially when he told OTL that his legs had all dropped off!

Honest! All four have dropped off and are in the grass somewhere!

 Trouble is, we all know what Freddy is like and we don't take any notice of him any more!

Wendy was tickled pink to get a run in the grass, she even managed to have a roll in a sniff, just like Miss May did yesterday!

If he has lost his legs then he can just find them on his own!

 Back home we all crashed out for a snooze while OTL went out to see if there was any tadpoles swimming in the pond but he didn't spot any, maybe they have all gone looking for the grown up flogs that hide in the garden!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Happy St Georges Day!

Hello Woofers!

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

Wot a super day it's been, sunshine for most of the day, we get resupplied with chicken nibbles, St George has the day off and Old Two Legs downloads some pictures from his trip to Isle of Mull!

We were out early this morning but missed seeing young Hobo so we will have get up a bit earlier tomorrow, providing OTL doesn't over sleep!

Lunchtime Eric and May came out with us and May is just as bad as us woofers for rolling in sniffs.

She has even suggested we change our names to 'Sniffers'!

As if!

Mind you, there were a couple of branches on the sea shore that had some interesting sniffs!

Branching out with new sniffs!

 Miss May found a sniff that took her a whole five minutes, no wonder she wants to be called a 'Sniffer'!
 

You just can't beat a good sniff!

 Half way back to the car Eric tried Freddy's trick, but it didn't work and they had to walk all the way back!

We've both got broken claws and sore paws!

 This afternoon OTL dug out some of the eagle photos he took and there was one sea gull sort of bird. Why the sea gull was asked?

Just practising says OTL!

 Then along came the eagle and dived down low, getting ready to pick up the herring the captain had thrown out of the boat!

Adjust speed, flaps down and get ready for undercarriage to come down!

Undercarriage down and ready to collect!

Then off he flew back to the nest to eat it!

Lunch collected!

 Old Two Legs is getting better at capturing flying eagles from a very rocky boat!

We will have to have a look at his other pictures and see what else he has done. We know there are no otters which is a shame cos the ferrets are related to otters and we would love to see what they look like up close and do they enjoy a roll in a sniff?

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

A Hot Day for a Marathon!

Hi Woofers!

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

Now I suppose you all noticed that there was no blog last night, sorry, you see Old Two Legs was messing about with 'Stuff' that has arrived in the few days he has been gallivanting around the Isle of Mull. By the time he had got most of it sorted, The Missus arrived back from her 'Master Class' and announced that we will have a 'Chinese Take-a-Way' King Plawns, Plawn Clackers and all the normal tasty bits!

By the time we had finished all that it was late, so late that we all forgot about the blog!

Coupled with the fact that after the long drive back home, OTL said he felt 'Too Tired' to do anything but go to sleep!

We didn't mind that cos our tummies were full as well and a sleep is a good 'after dinner' exercise!

Going to bed early means we get up early but not so early that we catch the sunrise.

Not so much Sun Rise more like Sun Risen!

 Mind you, as today is the 'London Marathon' we spotted 'Sid the Streak' out for his early morning jog along the sea shore!

Can't stop, I'm ahead of my 'Personel Best'!

 I spotted a couple of rabbits munching on the grass but I just didn't feel like chasing them!

OK, I see them but I just don't fancy the run!

We met a new woofer on the morning walk, he is a 'Rescue Dog' who goes by the name of 'Hobo', that was the name the Rescue Centre gave him. He was a bit jumpy and very unsure of himself and you know what, even OTL couldn't interest him in a tickle!

It is good to see a rescue dog cos that means they have found a 'Forever Home'!

Your not going to eat me are you?

Lunchtime it was getting hot and the ferrets decided they wanted to come with us for a walk. It was rather hot but OTL had drinking water in the car and a bottle of water with a spray trigger on the top which both Eric and May got a cooling squirt before getting back in the travelling cage!

Come on, give us a lift!

The rest of the day has been full of manufacturing and when that was finished OTL was out in the garden digging up plants from around the pond that we think last year managed to kill off anything that was growing in the pond!

After filling the waste bin full of this weedy stuff he gave up and said he may have another go tomorrow!

So, that's it for today, I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine, OTL is, he says he hasn't seen sunshine for such a long time.

Me too!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

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

Flying High'ish!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wow! Hasn't it been hot today, almost too hot to get into trouble!

We heard from Old Two Legs that the clouds were still there and the wind was just as bad! Mind you, no rain, so that is one blessing!

They haven't seen so much as a sniff of an otter and the 'Wildlife tours' that ferry two legs around to see all this stuff are having problems finding otters as well! They say it is because it is 'Frog Week'!

Seems the otters all go up stream hunting frog spawn as a treat instead of munching on crabs and fish!

Well, that is their excuse anyway and that is the one OTL is using!

They have seen the eagles, in fact they have seen three eagles that have come down to visit the boat to get their herring! OTL can't get to the pictures in his camera cos he forgot the patch cable, so we only have Alun's pictures.

Here is Alun's picture, well one of them!

Herring for the eagle and Cullen Skink for Alun tonight!

Poor Archie Babes Boy, fancy going to the TL's vets and them not knowing wots wrong! I mean was it a vet doctor type or a gynaecologist he saw?

If us woofers got to the vet with a sore paw we get a needle in the bum a pack of pills to take away the infection and a big bill!

Sometimes I thing the TL's have got it all wrong and we should all go to the vets!

Tomorrow OTL is heading home, so that means we will have to go back to sharing the bed with him again!

He says he has brought some chocs for The Missus but he may pinch some to go with the bottle of Tobermory Single Malt that he and Alun did some 'Serious Damage' to last night!

That is if he is brave enough!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Bad News and Good News!

Hi Woofers!

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

I must admit that when Old Two Legs is away, we do tend to spread out on his side of the bed and his pillows are just super for snoozing on! Holly loves to lie on her back with her butt on the pillow while I love to sort of flop on top and rub my nose across the pillow!

The Missus has been crafty today, we had to have our worming tablet and she didn't get full instructions from OTL on how to get it into our tummies, so, we have had all manner of stuff wrapped around the pill to get us to eat it. I mean, the thing is the size of a dustbin lid and tastes horrid!

In the end we had worn it down enough to finally swallow it and then get a chew as a treat!

We love treats anytime!

The bad news is.

OTL has been out again with Alun looking for eagles and otters.

No otters! Not one sniff of an otter!

Alun says that there are no otters on Mull, just toys in the shop window!

They have seen Buzzards and Deer and Heeland Coos and OTL reckons he saw a Golden Eagle but it was so high in the sky that he couldn't positively identify it but he says he will put a tick against it and claim it as 'Seen'

Now, in Tobermory there is the distillery wot make a quite passable Malt Whisky and OTL has been banging on the door ever since he has arrived. The problem was, he was either too early or too late to buy a bottle.

OTL was not a Happy Chappy, until today.

Getting back from a day hunting otters he arrived in time to buy a supply and a couple of glasses, so you know what he will be doing tonight after dinner!

So, that is the good news

That means tonight OTL will be a Happy Chappy and tomorrow he will be out on the boat snapping away at a Sea Eagle, so he will be a doubly Happy Chappy!

You can tell that today wasn't too good, just look at the scowl on his face!

No Blooming Otters here!

 See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

We thought he was lost!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, you will be pleased to hear that Holly has almost got over her experience down at the vets. She keeps telling me the horrific details of the operation on her ear and how I've got to be gentle with her and let her get to the food bowl first and also have the best treats.

I'm getting just a little fed up!

I mean, they didn't even dig anything out!

She gets just one more day and then it's all back to normal!

Old Two Legs is getting in a bit of a state up there in wet Scotland. He has had nothing but high winds and wet! The pair of them spent two hours and twenty pounds trying to spot a Sea Eagle on its nest while the eagle stayed right at the bottom of the nest keeping the eggs nice and warm and stuff the visitors who want to take pictures or spy on her!

OTL has also been searching all the normal places for otters but not a sign anywhere! It seems that although the otters spend almost all their life in the water, they don't like rain and yesterday, it was raining!

OTL and Alun went out to eat last night and to help them get over their disappointment in not seeing and otter, they seriously damaged a bottle of Talisker Single Malt, got back to the B&B and went to bed early forgetting to let us know what they have been doing!

It's a good job that Holly sent them an SMS on the phone at four this morning to make sure they reported in!

We are expecting a full report tonight, or there will be trouble!

He has been warned!

See you tomorrow.

You know what? I think I have a hair in my ear as well and need a chew as a treat!

Luv,

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

How much for a hair?????????

Hi Woofers!

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

As you would imagine, we have been a little upset today. Old Two Legs didn't come home last night so we had to spend the night on the bed without our OTL Water Bottle

First thing this morning we were out for a walk along the sea shore and just for fun we played a joke on The Missus. you see, she doesn't really know the games we play with OTL and when TM thinks she is in charge, we sort of disappear behind the bushes!

Holly got shipped off to the vet to have her ear poked and prodded and instead of a nasty little wriggly thing eating the inside of her ear the vet found a hair, yes, a hair!

Now I won't tell you how much OTL has forked out over the last few days but we reckon that the hair should be made of gold and studded with diamonds!

When OTL was told the results he said that Holly owes him some serious licks!

We settled down and other than a slight hookup with a chicken chew I tried burying in the garden everything has been fine today.

I mean, a woofer has to bury things and if it is muddy I'm bound to get some mud on my nose, and chin, and all around my face!

It's a doggy thing!

OTL and Alun arrived all in one piece and even managed to get an earlier ferry so that they could get into the B&B and get sorted before heading off to get some dinner!

Lucky OTL, steak and chips and salad while we got Doggy Scoff!

And you wonder why I buried the chicken chew!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Well, that was Summer!

Hello Woofers!

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

Now, remember yesterday? All sun shine and rolling in the sniffs?

Summer is here and dancing around the May Pole?

Guess what it was like this morning.

I'm sure I left Sheerness here yesterday!

 Well, we should have been able to see it but as it was so misty, foggy and too dark, we saw nuffin'!

Old Two Legs said that yesterday was Summer and now we are going into Autumn!

 We didn't believe him but I must admit when Mr Corvid said he was walking and not flying, we began to wonder!

Naa Girls, it's Shanks Pony for me today, don't wanna get lost in the mist!

Lunchtime it wasn't any better and OTL took us for a walk along the field and across the football field, we could just see where we were going, providing OTL kept calling us!

Back home OTL was packing all his stuff away and loading the car up as well. You know, he even took some stuff to deliver to one of his customers on his way down to Alun's place.

I thought it was only OTL who worked on a Sunday!

So, he has now left us, we all had a cuddle and I licked his nose, as did Holly and we are now in the care of The Missus, should be fun, she has got a worming tablet for Holly and I.

That should take a week or so to get down our throats!

OTL is going to take the laptop computer with him so we may be a bit late getting the blog up and running.

Don't panic, we will be OK and Holly will be down to see the vet tomorrow, so that will be worth a tale!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

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