A Sort of Infrared Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super day it turned out to be! It started off raining on us while we were out for our morning stroll and Miss May did her 'Carry Me Daddy' so that Old Two Legs couldn't play with the camera in the phone but we didn't mind too much cos there were loads of new sniffs.

Archie Babe would just love the sniffs, we even found some sausage sniffs where the weekend tourists had a B-B-Q in a silver paper tin wottsit and set fire to it on one of the table and benches set out for the visitors! Wot a bunch of Dozy Bozos these Two Legs can be!

As I said, May stayed cuddled up in OTL's arms until we got to the last bit and then she got down for a run, poo and a wee, but not in that order!

Lunchtime we asked Fred and Wendy if they wanted to come out but they didn't even wake up to say 'no'!

Well, that means OTL can play with the photographic stuff and today he took the Infrared Camera with him. He hasn't had that out for some time so it was interesting to see the results!

Pity IR doesn't show up the sniffs!

 All the trees reflect IR but it was the stuff that didn't reflect IR that was the most interesting, well, to OTL it was!

No, it's not exhaust from the ship, it's IR given off by the trees!

 Because it all comes out in a sort of Black & White there are some interesting sights.

This is a Speckled Wood and is brown in colour!

Looking at Holly Chops you wouldn't think she was Black & White all over!

....and the Harness is Black and Red!

Now, we have been looking at some of the photo's OTL took when he went to Isle of Mull. this one is pretty good, well we like it and he is thinking about printing and framing it!

The fish is about the size of a ferret! Well, that's what we told Eric!

The Missus has got her computer back, all re formatted and up to date and clean of any nasty bugs that had crept in via her dodgy websites she visits!

There is another eagle picture that looks good, we will try and show it tomorrow!

OK, we can sniff food so, bye bye for now!

Luv,

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

One of those days!

Hi Woofers!

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

We have had an exciting day today, it started off with Eric and May coming for a walk with us this morning. There was loads of dew on the grass again and May decided that Old Two Legs arms was the best place to be while little Eric spent all his time dancing through the grass getting wetter and wetter!

Holly was wandering and sniffing when Eric jumped up and gave her ear a nip. It was a good thing OTL was watching 'cos Holly Chops gave Eric a good telling of and even threatened to bite his tail!

Eric was suitably told off!

When we got back The Missus was sitting at her computer calling it a load of strange names!

We heard her start off with 'You pile of............' and then it went on and on!

I didn't know that a computer could have so many names!

OTL had a look but couldn't do anything so he made a call to the menders and arranged to drop it in.

Now that was OK 'cos Holly and I were looking forward to a ride after our lunchtime walk.

The sun was shining and we had a great time woofing at all the woofers walking on the path at the side of the road.

Lucky for TM, the man in the menders said he could repair it and it may need be wiped clean and a new operating system re installed!

Sound very technical to us!

So, come Friday we expect a call from the man and we'll be going down there again with OTL to pick it up.

Until then, TM will have to use her laptop or her phone.

So many computers!

Good to see little Izzy again and good to hear the family is all well.

Archie Babe is getting a little more scoff, well that's just got to be good news!

Sorry about the photo's or lack of photo's, blame OTL, he has been too busy talking on the phone instead of taking pictures!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Keep on with the Pills!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, this morning we heard that Archie Babe is back home with a change of medication, seems he is back on a course of steroid tablets. Now, in our experience Steroid Tablets are easier to take than dustbin lid stuff they normally expect you to chew on!

I mean, have you ever tried a Worming Tablet? Well, let me tell you, it's like trying to chew on a  King Size Pizza made of Concrete!

We were up about thirty minutes late today so it was all rush and tear to get us all out in time!

We left Freddy and Wendy asleep 'cos they said it was too wet on the grass to go prancing about!

Eric enjoys the dew but May always hangs on until we head for home before getting down for a run!

Because of the dew there were loads of spider webs on the ground and a few in the bushes.

Home of a Ground Nesting Spider according to Holly Chops!

Eric was jumping in and out of the spider webs, he thought it great fun!

That's number twenty nine!

I must admit, while Old Two Legs was trying to get Eric out of the grass, I shot off to the beach and had a quick splosh before OTL spotted me!

There was little or no waves it was almost as flat as a mill pond!

The waves were made by the container ships going past several miles off shore, according the Holly Chops!

 Back home we retired to our cushions and enjoyed a Bonio followed by a well earned snooze!

Holly preparing for bed!

 Holly is one of those woofers that turn around in a circle several times before collapsing down in a heap and of course when she does that she sometimes looses sight of her Bonio!

Me looking guilty having just pinched Holly's Bonio!

Lunchtime we were out again and OTL met up with the man who does all the grass cutting on the sea front. OTL, being OTL, made representations about the grass cutting, saying it was too short 'cos since the grass was cut, he hadn't seen a Lizard or Grass Snake or a Stoat, all of which he has seen before!

The man said that they intended to let it grow up to twelve inches, so he reckons the insects will come back!

They had better or OTL will have more words!

Mind you, letting the grass grow a bit is OK by me, I mean, a girls gotta hide in the grass when she's having a poo!

All our best wishes to Archie Babe, keep on with the pills!

Luv,


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

Too Many Tourists!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a Super Day it has been. The sunshine started early this morning but Old Two Legs decided that the ferrets could stay in bed rather than come out for a walk 'cos the grass was soaking wet with dew.

None of the ferrets, with the exception of Eric, like having their tummy's cold and wet with early morning dew!

In fact Freddy said that he would be quite happy playing in the shopping bags and hiding in the furniture rather than go out for a walk, he just doesn't feel up to marching all over the sea front!

That left Holly Chops and I plenty of time to enjoy our own rampage around the sea front!

CHARGE!

 As luck would have it, the tide was in, well actually it had come in and now was going out, but, there was enough water there for me to get wet right up to my tummy!

I do love a geed early morning splosh!

 OTL wasn't too happy about me getting wet but I was just too far ahead of him and no matter how much he jumped up and down and waved his paws over his head, I was going in!

Me, doing the 'Soggy Doggy' look!

 Holly Chops decided to stay up on the Sea Wall and refused to go anywhere near the water, even when I came back onto the wall to show her the way down onto the sand!

I don't look good when I'm wet so I will be a 'Dry Doggy' thanks all the same!

Back home we were banned to the bedroom while OTL did the 'De-Pooing' game he plays in the ferret cages and when he had finished he came into us and planted a tube of Anti Tick stuff onto our shoulders!

I can see that it will be an irritant tonight!

Hey! Good news that Archie Babe is back home and nibbling at the scoff. Claws all crossed here and a cuddle on the sofa is the best medicine!

Lunchtime Eric and May came out with us and although there were loads of tourists floating about OTL only had to pick up the ferrets once when a big wet German Shepherd Dog came bounding up to sniff us and the ferrets!

When we got back to the football field both ferrets went into 'Hunting Mode' and demolished three mole hills looking for the Mole Hole!

Just where is this Mole Hole?

 Back in the car, OTL got his phone camera out and took a picture of Holly and me, just to show you how much he had shaved off out faces!

The Missus likes it 'cos she says that she can see our eyes now!

All the better for seeing you my dear!

 Of course, Holly would only pose in profile 'cos she says that she looks better like this.

Talk about show off!

This is my best side, even with the short hair!

Tomorrow it's back to work again so we had better make the most of today!

Lots of love and licks to Archie Babe and keep yer Tail Up lad, it will make you feel better!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Who is the Star of the Show?

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, at the time of pounding the keys on the laptop we haven't heard any more about Archie Babe so we are all crossing our claws and working on the theory that 'no news is good news'!

We know he had some breakfast this morning so that is a good sign!

All woofers need their breakfast!

It has been another super sunny day and both sets of ferrets came out with Holly and I on our walks.

Me scouting out for tourists!

Once again it was Eric and May first thing and May was not impressed with the dew on the grass, again, and insisted on getting a carry from Old Two Legs for most of the trip around the sea front!

Eric on the other paw was having fun by getting soaked in dew and swishing his tail about and sloshing all the dew over us as he passed by!

Lunchtime Fred and Wendy joined us and Fred, being Fred, decided that just a couple of steps to begin with followed by six steps to end with was going to be his contribution for the day!

Wendy was all up for a run and galloped all the way back to the car 'cos she was getting all excited about us dropping in to see Rosie at the village hall!

While Holly and I did the rounds looking for something edible to mug, Wendy was getting cuddles from Rosie!

Wendy getting cuddles from Rosie!

 We have to keep a careful watch on Rosie 'cos Wendy is her Favourite Ferret and would love to take her home!

Holly and I couldn't find any food so we had to go home empty pawed!

Tonight we are going to get our first dose of 'Anti Tick Drops' which itch like mad on the first application and while Holly seems to cope, I HATE IT!

Still, I suppose it is better than having Ticks trying to eat you!

Now, all we can do is wait for news on Archie Babe, keep yer tail up lad!

Luv,

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

It was Hell but I suvived, just!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, weather wise it has been a great day, loads of sun shine, balmy breezes and loads of tourists wandering up and down the Sea Wall.

Old Two Legs took Miss May and Eric out this morning but for some reason May just didn't fancy a run, mainly 'cos the dew was heavy on the grass and she said it was more like swimming than walking, so she blagged a ride in OTL's arms all the way!

Well, almost, she was down for a trip across the football field but that was all, too damp, too wet and too cold on her tummy!

Eric on the other paw was having a great time paddling in the wet grass!

OTL didn't take the camera with him today, he reckons there will be loads of tourists and each of them will have an in controlled woofer with them so the chance of and reasonable photo is highly unlikely!

After the morning walk it started.

I hid in the office while Holly got caught first!

Ha!

Holly chops got first go in the washing machine, well, OTL calls it 'The Shower'!

A big bucket was filled with water, then a towel was folded to provide a mat on the floor of the washing machine and she was soaped, sploshed, scrubbed and squeezed dry! Then down to the torture table where she got a blow dry from that 'Dog Blaster' thingy that we hate!

After that it was out with the shaver, scissors and short back and sides!

Holly hated it but OTL kept muttering, 'That's another sixty quid I've saved!'

Then when OTL had finished it was time for the lunch time walk.

Again it was a case of too many tourists and we left Freddy and Wendy to sleep 'cos it was not only a bit too warm but there were too many tourists again!

On our way back we stopped in to pick up The Missus and Auntie Helen came out to see us. Both Holly and I gave her nose a lick 'cos she says she always reads this blog!

Good on yer girl!

The afternoon was spent with me getting the 'Full Treatment' and I got injured!

There I was standing still while OTL was clipping the hair around my paws when he touched my claw with the scissors and I jumped.

That was enough for the scissors to nick my paw and OTL had to dab on some diluted Iodine.

That turned my paw all brown looking and also stained his paw as well!

When TM arrived back we had all been 'Done' and OTL had just finished clearing up everywhere.

We got a special treat 'cos as TM was bringing the boxes in, the ice cream man arrived!

Well, we all got an ice cream filled cone to lick and Holly and I shared one!

It was a race to see who could lick the most!

Holly won, she has a tongue like an elephants trunk!

We do just LOVE an ice cream cone!

Pictures tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Guess Wot?

Hello Woofers!

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

Hey! What's all this pancreatitis thingy? I had to look up on the Internetty Thingy. to find out what it is! I didn't know you could have so much behind your tummy!

It's all to do with eating so we can all get a touch if we're not careful!

Claws crossed it gets sorted, just imagine not enjoying your scoff!

We look like we will be getting some seriously warm weather over the weekend so Old Two Legs reckons that the ferrets will be spending the weekend in their cages chilling out!

This morning was a little cloudy but you could taste it in the air, sunshine coming!

It has the promise of sunshine!

Today we got Eric and May up early and they got a walk with us first thing this morning. It was great sniffing our way around the walk but because they couldn't go back to the car the way we do at lunchtime, they threw a wobbler and OTL had to carry them the last few yards back to the car park.

This is a deviation from normal and we're not happy about this way!

When it got to lunchtime Freddy and Wendy were all packed up in their harnesses and into the travel cage and off we went.

Now Freddy isn't wot you call an 'Active' ferret. A wander around the house. a ferret about in the shopping bags then he is in need of a snooze! So, walking around the sea shore is just a little too far for him! That being so, he managed to get carried for almost all the way around the walk with him only walking no more than a dozen steps!

Not to worry, Freddy does wot Freddy wants to and as long as he is happy, that's OK with OTL!

Wendy of course just loves a wiggle along the grass path and of course just loves the sniffs!

Tomorrow The Missus is off to her Master Class this weekend so OTL has promised us a Shampoo and Set!

I can see it's going to be one of those weekends!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Don't you just love the sun shine!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a wonderful day! Up early and down the sea shore and there is was, blue skies and loads of sun shine!

This is going to be a good Bank Holiday we reckon, well weather wise anyway!

It don't get much better than this!

 We heard Old Two Legs and The Missus discussing their plans for the weekend, TM is off to a Master Class on Saturday and Sunday. OTL will have done all his paperwork and stuff that normally occupies his time.

We heard OTL say that us woofers look a little 'Grubby'!

Grubby? Us? No Way!

Saturday and Sunday will be set aside for Holly and I to get washed, sploshed shaved and clipped!

It is just not on you know, we spend all this time growing a good covering of hair only to have it all chopped off just to make us look 'Pretty'!

It's just not on!

Lunchtime Eric and May came out for a walk with us and had a good time rolling in 'Ferret Type Sniffs'!

That means Holly and I do a lot of waiting for them to finish!

Nah! Eric is still sniffing!

As we got closer to the football field the sniffing got longer and Holly and I decided we could get ahead and enjoy some 'Woofer Sniffs' until they arrive!

I'm off to sniff that Mole Hill again!

It was a little later when the ferrets caught up with us and both were pleased to get back in their travelling cage. All this jogging can make their little legs wear out!

Eric is alright, he is full of bounce and enjoys a good run around but Miss May is beginning to feel it by the time she arrives at the car!

Come on, I want a rest!

OTL says that he will bring Wendy and Freddy out tomorrow lunchtime 'cos they haven't been out for some time and although Freddy isn't into running too far, he will enjoy a little roll on the grass!

We're off to see what's for dinner, the bowl has Doggy Scoff in it and we look on that as a 'Last Resort' so with a bit of luck OTL will be having those Bambi Burgers and we can do some serious mugging!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


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

And then it rained!

Hi Woofers!

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

After yesterdays mild weather we were hoping that today might be sunshine and balmy breezes but wot did we get?

Yep! Rain!

It was that misty sort of rain that if you stay out in it too long you will end up wet!

Mind you, we got a sort of sunrise, well the sun had got up ages ago but there was a little colour and Old Two Legs is still playing with the phone camera!

This sniff is more interesting than the sunrise!

 A bit further along the sea shore we saw the last of the sunrise as it disappeared into the grey clouds!

There it was.....Gone!

We didn't hang about too long and were back just before the rain started with gusto!

Lunchtime OTL took a good close at the incoming rain clouds and reckoned there was a 'Window' where we could get out, have a run and get back before we got wet!

Hearing this, Eric and May decided to risk a run and even managed to find some short grass to have a roll in!

This is better than rattling the cage door at home!

 Eric has developed an annoying trick, he jumps up and hangs on the cage door, then he rattles the door and makes a big noise! Such in the noise that OTL ends up letting him out for a rampage around the office!

I suppose it is the same thing that Holly and I do when we think he is late in taking us out for a walk. He does a sort of 'Ferret Woof' while rattling the cage door, sounds a bit like 'Dooking'!

OTL gets fed up and in combination with Holly and I jumping up at his office chair, in the end we are soon heading off for a walk!

Luckily for us we managed a walk before the rain started again. Still, there is sunshine forecast for later this week and over the Bank Holiday!

Hey! We hear that Archie Babe had a rough night last night, maybe he has been eating something he found in the garden! On top of that it sounds like he got squeezed, stabbed and generally pulled about!

Poor Lad!

Get well soon!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,


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

Sunshine at Last and I get a Splosh!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a surprise we had this morning! No rain, no howling gales and Old Two Legs put his light weight fleece on to take us out!

What was better was the sunshine, it was just great! I mean, no horizontal rain and it is also the first of May!

The best way to start the month!

 When we got to the beach we were amazed to see just how much that strong wind and waves had scrubbed the beach clean of old sea weed and mucky stuff!

Just look at this beach!

 I wanted to get down on the beach but OTL said that Holly would follow and start ploughing up the sand with her nose and end up with sand in her eyes.

That would mean a trip to the vets, pay out loads of dosh and make OTL poor again!

I had a plan!

Lunchtime the ferrets came along with us and were playing OTL up by keep on getting down for a little walk then climbing up his leg to get carried again!

I made the most of the messing about by running ahead and down onto the beach!

Guess what I did next?

I went in for a splosh in the water!

The first this year!

It was cold!

First this year and Holly stayed up on the Sea Wall!

The ferrets said that swimming was for woofers and ducks! They did have a good time trotting along side OTL as we headed back to the car.

On the football field Eric was charging about sniffing the sniffs around the mole hills and even chased me off the sniff I had found!

My sniff is better than yours!

With a bit of luck we may keep this good weather all over the Bank Holiday!

OTL is still playing with the camera on the telephone. The problem is when he wants to transfer the pictures to the computer, we have to send them by email, two at a time!

When we got back home the ferrets ran back to their cage and fell asleep, well they have such short legs and running all that way was bound to tire them out!

We have been helping OTL taste his beef jerky. It's a little over done but The Missus has listened to Holly's instructions and will not cook the jerky until the smoke alarm goes off!

We couldn't taste the whisky 'cos of the black bits were too crunchy!

TM will be cooking another batch later this week, so, claws crossed it may work this time!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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