Eric de Spider?

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, as we said yesterday, a little thing that goes wrong has a habit of ganging up on you and it is still with us 'cos this morning Old Two Legs was woken up by something at four this morning then went back to sleep and woke up an hour later than normal!

Being an hour late, we almost missed the sunrise! It was a quick run along the path until we got to the right spot before clicking off several shots of which this was about the best!

We almost missed it!

 Mind you, once the sun was up the temperature did rise a little and warmed our tails up a bit!

Ooh! That's better!

 Just for a change, we spotted a Wormy Man out on the mud flats digging for all he was worth.

There has just got to be more worms here!

 Back home Holly and I headed for our bed while Eric and May were out for their rampage.

As normal, May headed for the Lactose Free Milk  and Brambles Biscuits in the kitchen.

Eric on the other paw decided he would inspect the rubbish bin in OTL's room.

First you check for sniffs.

Yes, there are some new sniffs in there!

 It doesn't take him long 'cos he can sink his claws into the plastic bin liner and........

Up we go!

 Of course, he was straight in with no trouble at all!

Yes, Yes, Yes!

Then there is the sound of a ferret hitting the rubbish and scrabbling to find the sniff!

'er! Can someone get me out now?

OTL says that one day the Bin men will take him away!

This afternoon OTL has to take The Missus off to the TL Vets to get her eye checked for Cattle Racks and stuff. I know she has another eye to be Cattle Racked and was hoping to have it all done before Christmas but we reckon that it will be next year, unless they have a cancellation!

Claws crossed!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

A bit of a mix up today!

Hi Woofers!

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

It is amazing how one little thing can change something that in turn alters something else that completely mucks up everything!

Now, take today for instance.

It all started off the day before yesterday when Holly found a sniff that had a tasty something that needed a lick to complete the whole package.

Holly, being quite proud of that was telling me how she found it and I didn't.

Looking back, I'm glad I missed it 'cos yesterday Holly got the Grumbly Tum and the Sore Butt!

Last night, around 02:45hr she was in need of a wander around the garden, so, being Holly, she opened her mouth and woofed!

Old Two Legs was the first up and almost fell down the stairs as he headed towards the back door to let Holly out. Well, after a bit in the garden she came back in and got her butt washed and dried then it was off to bed. This little excursion took about a half an hour from start to finish.

That means it was a whole hour before OTL rolled out of bed and banged his head on the bedroom door 'cos OTL didn't switch the light on!

So, after a shower and a teeth clean we were dragged from under our sleeping blankets and off we went for our walk, leaving the ferrets behind 'cos they had gone back to bed and were refusing to wake up!

Being that late also means that we saw the sky brightening and for the first time in an age, we saw the sun rise!

The Sun is just getting out of bed!

After a little bit we saw.................

Good Morning Mr Sun!

Then, a short while later, there he was all up and washed and teeth cleaned and ready for the day!

Good Morning to another bright sun shinny day!

 Mind you, it looked a bit odd, I mean, just how often do you see two suns? Sort of reminds me of that film that starts off......A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..............

'er where is Luke Skywalker?

Back home we all had a snooze while the ferrets played and OTL even managed to clip my claws on my left paw!

That means he has done my left and right paw including the Dew Claws!

I was terribly brave, especially as Holly was woofing her tail off 'cos I was getting all the attention!

Mind you, as soon as OTL put her up on the bench and got his clippers out to do hers she was off like a rocket!

She's a wimp really!

Lunchtime we left the ferrets asleep and headed off looking for sniffs, mind you, Holly's tum is still grumbly so it is 'sniffing only' today!

Remember, no licking, sniffin' only!

OTL kept an eye on Holly but she still managed to get a quick roll in a sniff!

By the time we had finished Holly said she felt a little better and was looking forward to a quiet night!

I'll let you know what happens!

Bye for now.

Luv,

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

Oh No! It's us to the Vets!

Hello Woofers!

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

This morning we saw Venus again 'cos the clouds were patchy. You know it's funny but if you stand still and look at Venus it seems to 'wobble' in the sky, but it never seems to move!

Mind you, Old Two Legs thinks it's funny to see us standing there looking up at the sky!

Lunchtime we took Eric out with us for a rampage but again he decided that sitting in the ferret bag on OTL's hand was the best place to be!

OTL tried him a couple of times but he just sat there with look on his face that said...........

You don't really expect me to walk?

 We think that Eric is not a winter ferret, even with a a super soft and fluffy coat, he would still rather spend his outing tucked up in a nice warm bag!

You just don't know how damp this grass is!

 It was interesting to see the way the clouds crept in and soon made it cold!

It even LOOKS cold!

 A bit later after we had got back home, OTL got a message on his phone that our prescriptions were ready for collection. Now, every time we have been to collect our prescription, the vet normally gives us the 'Once Over' but this time we managed to get away without the 'inspection', however...........

OTL decides to take us in and get weighed 'cos we hadn't been weighed since July this year.

Well, I was just 7.5kg, just a little up on the 7.3kg I was back in July. OTL said that I would 'get away with it' so, off I got from the electronic weighing machine to let Holly get on.

Now, back in July Holly was a whopping great 10.2kg but today she almost broke the machine 'cos she weighed 11.3kg!

11.3kg! I think that Holly is going to start a diet tomorrow, no treats, no big teeth cleaning chews, no nibbles from the table. Holly Chops is going to be a very unhappy puppy but she has just got to loose a few kilos.

OTL has said that after I had finished with my food he will have to pick it up 'cos Holly just loves to help me finish it off!

The only problem will be, she just loves her food as much as Archie Babe and will always be on the hunt for nibbles. That will mean that OTL will have to keep a careful eye on Holly when we are out cos she might find something to eat, even if it's rabbit poo!

I'll let you know what happens!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Guess Wot we did today?

Hello Woofers!

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

We love Sunday, it's one of the days in the week that we can sort of.........

Snooze!

Or, we can do what Holly does best...........

Snore!

 If you could find a ferret it may surprise you to find them..........

Having a cuddle and a Snooze!

 It is just the best thing, a snooze. You sort of drift off and dream about all the things that make you happy, like food and games and chasing cats.

Then along comes Old Two Legs, waving our harness and lead and squeaking 'Walkies!'.

There are times I wish he would have a snooze!

Today we went out at lunch time with Monty and Wendy, Monty was all up for a run 'cos he hadn't been out for a week or so and as he said, he was getting a bit 'Cage Crazy'!

Wendy said it was good to get a sniff of fresh air!

To begin with they both hid in the bag but soon Monty was sticking his nose out and sniffing the air!

OK, OTL, I'll get out here if that's OK with you?

 The wind was blowing, reducing the air temperature but it wasn't too bad and the clouds looked pretty!

Remember when it was Summer and all hot?

 Miss Wendy was a bit slow to start but she got going and chased Holly all the way back to the football field!

........99....100....coming, ready or not!

 Monty was more interested in sharing our sniffs but he found some Weasel sniffs and wanted to go off in a different direction!

It's there, I can sniff it, I really can sniff it!

Back home it was all back to the bed for a well earned snooze before dinner. Best of all it's chicken today and we may even get it a bit earlier than normal!

Tomorrow is Monday so that means back to work guarding the house. Holly and I still do our duty at night, marching around the house with our tails up straight and singing our 'Guarding Song'. It's normally around half way around the house that OTL wakes up and suggests what we should be doing is creeping around, quietly, just like the SAS! (That's Special Animal Service!)

Maybe that's why we are always in need of more snoozes than OTL?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Saturday Fun.

Hi Woofers!

We're back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

We have had what is known as 'a quiet day', in fact it has been very peaceful!

This morning we were out early and had the good luck to see Venus shining bright in the morning sky. There were a few other stars twinkling i the sky but not as bright as Venus!

Holly says it is called the Morning Star but if we see it in the early evening, it's then called the Evening Star!

Well, I don't understand how a star can have two names and yet still be the same star, strange!

Today The Missus has been off to her Master Class in the village hall while we have been having a lazy day.

First we had a good snooze while the cages were cleaned then enjoyed a super snooze under Old Two Legs desk while he was, tidying up the files on the computer.

No, I don't know what that means but it seemed to be important and it keeps him quiet while we have a snooze!

Lunchtime we took Eric out with us for a walk, only Eric thought it was a tad too chilly for walking and kept crawling back into the ferret bag to keep warm! Every so often OTL would dig him out for a walk but he kept chasing after OTL then running up OTL's leg and into the bag, again!

It was only when we were half way across the football field that Eric decided to run back to the car!

Maybe tomorrow, if it's not raining, we will invite Wendy and Monty to come out with us 'cos they enjoy a run on the damp grass!

We have had some of our Doggy Scoff today but with a bit of luck, OTL will have steak and chips with mushrooms and other stuff we can help him eat!

Well, he can always have some of our Scoff if he gets hungry!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Friday!

Hi Woofers!

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

Now this morning we found some photo's in the 'in box' of the email and Michael had come up trumps with his photo's of the ferrets show. First there was Eric de Ferret resting on Old Two Legs shoulder after a hard session in the judges room. All that posing and being examined and poking and pulling and inspecting the underside of his tail!

Winner of the Pastel Polecat Ferret Hob Section, Eric, not OTL!

Then there was the Veteran section in which Miss May came second and she was exhausted after the judging but managed a big smile when the results were announced!

Me? A rosette for little old me?

There was one cheeky ferret who managed to get to the Dook Oil which is like Ferretone!

No one can see me so I'll have another slurp!

Of course, being the star of the show, Michael just had to take a picture of me!

Can we go walkies now?

So, a little late but that is the final picture from the show!

Today we planned to take the ferrets out but after we came back this morning, it started to rain and then it carried on raining and it looked wetter and wetter. So, that was it for the ferrets, they just curled up and went to seep. Unlike Holly and I, we get dragged out shoved in the car and off we go!

Mind you, it was raining when we left but OTL spotted a 'Window' in the showers and when we got out of the car in the car park, it had stopped!

Well, you know what? It didn't start to rain again until we got home and were half way through our chicken dinner!

The appointment has been made with the vet and on Monday we are off to be weighed, pushed, poked and looked at while OTL gets robbed!

You know, we have lots of fun here!

Thank you Michael for the pictures.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Busy Busy Day!

Hello Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Where have all the woofers gone,
In their beds, everyone
Where are all the TLs too
Stamping cards to send to you.

Well, Auntie Sue did try but she just doesn't have the woofers feel for a song, I mean, where is the reference to piles of sniffy poo?

Where have all the woofers gone,
Long time passing
Where are all the woofers gone,
Sniffing all the ar..........!

See wot we mean?

Well, today we have been busy chasing Old Two Legs to get all the stuff done and packed and shipped and filed away ready for the weekend!

It may even be warm enough to take the ferrets out at lunchtime tomorrow, claws crossed, so all we have to do is decide which cage to open!

Back to today, we found several good sniffs in the football field and OTL had to come back to shoo us along!

Hang on, this is a good sniff!

Down on the Sea Front we found some new sniffs, obviously a visitor but we don't mind, especially as there were no woofers to say hello to!

Hang on,  there is another sniff here!

We found some 'Stranger' sniffs on the Sea Wall but Holly reckons the sniff was old and was laid down last weekend!

It's more of a dribble than a decent wee!

 This afternoon I heard OTL try telephoning the vet, seems he wants to get some anti flea stuff but needs a prescription first and that means we have to go down there for a check up when Holly will be told she is too fat!

Holly says she is not fat, just cuddly!

Yeah right, and OTL loves going to the vets!

Well, the vet was gassing on the phone so OTL has given up and will call again tomorrow, so we have escaped for now!

We have seen some photos Michael too at the ferret show but they are on FaceAche so The Missus has been asked to contact Mike and get him to send to OTL by email!

Right we are off to see what sort of Doggy Scoff we got tonight, lamb, beef or chicken, well we can dream!

More than likely it will be some nondescript meat mix up that tastes of ferret poo!

Think of us starving tonight and if we survive, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Where have all the woofers gone?

Hi Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Do you ever get one of those days when nothing happens?

I mean, a day when no matter what you do, nothing happens!

We have had one of those days today.

It started off when Old Two Legs woke up at four 'cos The Missus got up to make a card on account she had been 'Inspired' by a dream she had!

I don't suppose any of my dreams could be made into cards, I mean, greasy Chicken, Rawhide chews and Cats would go well on a Christmas Card!

We were up and off to the sea shore at our normal time but as normal, it was just too dark and too wet and too cold for the ferrets so off we went on our own!

We didn't see or hear anyone, not even a stray woofer or a sneaky cat!

Boring!

Back home OTL was manufacturing, boring!

Lunchtime we were banging on the back of OTL's chair to let him know it was walkies time!

Off we went sing our 'Walkie Song'!

When we got down there we saw..............................

Well, that looks.......um......'Interesting'!

 Well, we had a sniff and wander along the Sea Wall expecting to see other woofers or Two Legs but when we investigated all the normal 'notice boards' and what did we see?

No, I didn't hear anything either!

 It was most unusual, I mean, not even a stray cat or rabbit or even a crow or two! Holly and I decided to get back home as soon as possible 'cos there were two things waiting, Chicken Scoff and a warm bed!

I know we are supposed to be on guard but after a big bowl of chicken all we want to do is sleep it all off!

I'm getting bored with this, let's get home!

 Back home OTL went back to manufacturing, (boring) TM was card making (boring) but we went into the kitchen for some chicken! (SUPER!)

Let's hope tomorrow is a little more exciting!

Bye for now.

Luv,

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

OTL's back!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Well, he finally turned up, late and saying he was just too tired!

Then he had some dinner and fell asleep in front of the TV!

This morning he woke up a whole hour later than normal! Not that I was complaining, I do enjoy a extra hour in bed!

Needless to say, we missed all the local lads but met up with Henry who was out with his Two Legs who wanted to tell Old Two Legs all about the Buzzard she had seen but OTL topped that, he had seen a Red Kite just down the road!

One up for OTL!

This morning has been spent emailing customers and sending quotes. With a bit of luck he may get an order or two!

Lunchtime we were out again but left the ferrets to snooze, well the temperature this morning was two degrees centigrade!

At lunch time it had warmed up a few degrees but even so, the ferrets said they would rather stay in bed!

When we got down there Holly called out, 'Last on in is a Pussy Cat' and started running towards the sea!

Of course I mistook what she was on about and thought there was a cat that needed chasing!

I got ahead but stopped when I realised she was hanging back sniffing the sniffs!

Cats? Wot cats?

 I think I'll wait until we get on the Sea Wall and when the tide is in, I'll give her a shove and let's see if she can swim!

Today was not the day, the tide was on the way out and the Brant Geese were feeding on the mud flats.

Not deep enough to wash a shrimp!

 On the way back OTL got this shot, it shows you haw little wind there was about, that steam is going straight up!

Just look at that sky and it's only just after lunch!

 We were chatting this afternoon, Auntie Zoe is a chef and we reckon that if we lived closer to her we might end up with steak of lamb chops or as it is Christmas a few weeks ahead, we could have Turkey!

Auntie Zoe cooking our steaks?

Holly reckons we should put that on our Christmas list for Santa Paws to deliver!

Until then, it's back to the Doggy Scoff!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Bored, Bored, Bored!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret are BORED!

We have never had such a boring day!

See, it's like this.

First thing this morning we headed out for our walk a whole half an hour earlier than normal!

I mean, we were still asleep!

The ferrets were snoozing so they didn't know what day it was!

We got back and it was still dark!

Then, Old Two Legs packed up his laptop and headed off into the sunrise leaving us with The Missus.

Both Holly and I sat at the bedroom window waiting for OTL but he never appeared!

For the rest of the day TM was busy washing the black smoke off the ceiling where she over did the frying one time!

Holly and I came down to have a look but to be honest, it was boring, in fact it was more fun when she set the pan alight in the first place!

The lunchtime walk was boring 'cos we were rushed about 'cos we could see rain on the horizon and we didn't fancy getting our tails wet!

We are still watching out the window but so far OTL has not shown. TM keeps saying he will be here soon but so far, nothing!

So, I will apologise for the lack of photo's and the exciting tale of Doggy Doo's and blame it all on OTL.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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