My List Of New Year Resolutions!

Happy New Year Woofers!

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

Well, last night was a bit of a Whizz Pop and then nothing. Holly woke up to the sound of Whizz Bangs at twelve but they weren't close and she only had a little woof and a cuddle with The Missus.

After that she crawled onto TM pillow and after another cuddle and a stroke, went back to sleep.

Old Two Legs didn't wake up at all!

I must admit that was it not for Holly treading on my ear as she headed for TM's pillow, I wouldn't have heard the noise either!

As normal, we were our at six thirty and it was black, as normal. There were a few minutes when the cloud parted and we could see the crescent moon and Venus up  in the sky.

Miss May was too sleepy to get up this morning and decided to stay in OTL's arm while he had his breakfast and cleaned the cages out!

Lunchtime Eric was woken up and invited to go out for a walk and even though he said he would rather stay in bed, OTL scooped him up and off we went with Eric in the bag with his head poking out the top!

Being a Bank Holiday there loads of Two Legs and Woofers running about all over the place. Eric got Oooo'd and Aaar'd at and stroked as well. he really enjoyed the walk especially as most of it was spent in the bag!

Once we got to the Football field, OTL dug him out again for a run and a sniff at the Mole Hills.

Hey Lads! I can sniff Mole Holes!
 Now I know our sense of sniff is better that any TL but we were quite a way away from the football field but Eric was positive he could sniff moles and he could even tell which direction the sniff was coming from........impressive!


Hey Lads, it's coming from over there!
 As soon as we got to the Football Field Eric was off hunting moles and soon found a pile of mole diggings he could have a snuffle in!


It's here, I just know it is here!
 Eric made a great mess of the mole diggings and even though he didn't find a mole, he certainly help spread the diggings all over the place!

Back home there was a bowl of chicken waiting for us and for 'afters' a big chew!

Now to cheer you all up..........tomorrow it's back to work!

Now,  about these resolutions.......................bye the way,........what are resolutions?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

It's not the same!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret here on the last day of 2018!

It's been a mixture of a year for us all, we lost Freddy de Ferret to old age earlier in the year but have been blessed with little Monty de Ferret who has fallen in love with Miss Wendy and keeps her on her claws!

Miss May is showing signs of age now but she is looked after by Eric de Ferret who gives her loads of cuddles when she is not feeling well and plenty of chases when she has the pickle in her!

Holly and I have been doing well for our age and we haven't been to the vets so often and cost Old Two Legs a fortune!

We have all been away on some great holidays in the caravan and had some super times on the beaches!

OTL had some excitement when we were on holiday, the car decided to throw a wobbler and catch a cold in the engine and had to be 'Rescued' by the garage and driven to the menders to pick up a loan car, (250 miles) then do the whole trip again to take The Missus to a Craft show, another 250 miles, then do it all again to collect the mended car and TM and back to the caravan site, (another 250 miles)!

It's a good job OTL likes driving!

We are planning to go back to the same beach and caravan site in 2019, twice!

Claws crossed that the car behaves its self and claws crossed for some sunny weather like wot we had this year!

Today is the last day in 2018 and OTL had to go out at lunch time so we were walked around the foot ball field by TM! That means we don't get our normal walk and Eric had to stay in the cage and miss out on his ride in the bag!

Never mind, he should get a walk tomorrow!

OTL says that he will have a slurp of Single Malt Whisky tonight to 'See the New Year in' and he might have one earlier to see the old year out!

It's tonight we expect that there will be the normal Whizz Bangs at midnight, so Holly will have to stay cuddled up to OTL until it all goes quiet!

Better still, let's hope they have all run out of Whizz Bangs and we get a noise free night!

We wish you all a Happy New Year and may all your wishes be granted, except for the next Euro Millions numbers 'cos we want them here, just so we can have fillet steak every day for 2019!

Bye for now.

Luv,

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

Monty get's Bored!

Hello Woofers!

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

How's your day been? Here in North Kent we have not been too active today, mainly 'cos Old Two Legs has been too efficient and got all his jobs done before time and decided to watch some TV, which is another excuse to fall asleep with his feet up! Needless to say, us woofers jump up onto his chair and cuddle up and have a snooze as well!

Well, what's good for OTL is OK by us!

This morning we were up early, no I don't know why, so that means we were down the sea shore early, which means it was dark and because it was cloudy, we didn't see any stars or UFO's just the glow of the moon behind the clouds.

A bit boring really!

Back home all the cages were sorted in double quick time. Miss May had a cuddle with OTL and fell asleep in his arms for half an hour or so. She does that a lot nowadays, OTL says it is because she is getting old.

He also uses that as an excuse for doing the same thing as well!

The ferrets get a run around the house for an hour or so until they get too tired and find a sleeping place in The Missus card store or under the sofa. Miss May woke up from OTL's arms and had a ferret around until she found her Lactose Free Milk and some Brambles Biscuits and headed off to bed again in her cage. Eric was behind the boxes in TM's store room but came out when OTL squeezed the Squeaky Chicken, Eric is a big sucker for a Squeaky Chicken!

After May and Eric retire, out comes Monty and Wendy for their rampage. They chase each other all over the house, in and out the chairs and the cardboard tubing OTL puts down for them. They also love the plastic shopping bags to roll around in!

There are times when Monty gets a little adventurous, he climbs up the side of May's cage and then taunts May and Eric through the bars on the top of the cage!

It's alright, he can't get me, I'm standing on the tray!
 He has to be careful 'cos Eric tries to nip his paws through the bars! Painful!

Get off my roof or I'll be up there to sort you out!
Luckily for Monty, OTL rescued him from the top of the cage and put him on the floor where he could blow raspberries at Eric!

Lunchtime Eric came out with us, we were going to take Monty and Wendy but they were fast asleep and Eric was awake and bashing the cage door, so he came out with us!

He spent most of the time sitting on OTL's hand in the bag with his head poking out the top, watching the world go by!

No thanks, I'm quite comfortable where I am, keep walking!
 We got stopped a couple of times by Two Legs who wanted to stroke Eric and go Oooo! Aaaah! over him, as normal, I mean, it's not as if they have never seen a ferret before!

Oh Gawd, more TL's to stroke Eric!
Mind you, when we got to the football field OTL put Eric on the floor and made him walk all the way back to the car!

Back home again for some more snoozing!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Hard Days Snoozing!

Hi Woofers!

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

You will be glad to know that there were no punch ups today!

Mind you, when Eric got put back into his cage he spent ages climbing up the cage door and giving it a really good shake!

We went out at lunchtime for a walk and a wee but Eric decided to stay in the bag and watch the world go by from the top of the bag!

He was put down on the ground for a run several times but would only run back to Old Two Legs and climb up OTL's leg to get back into the bag again!

We reckon that he can't wait until Spring time when the weather will be warmer and he will feel more like having a run in the grass.

We will have to get Wendy and Monty out for a run 'cos they haven't been out for a week or so.

When it comes to lunch time they both have been tucked up in their sleeping blankets and refused to come out!

OTL says that they will have to stay awake by not letting them go to sleep!

That will of course be a difficult thing to do!

Today we have been lazy, watching DVD's and catching up on recorded TV programs.

The Missus has been plonking about with some cards and perfecting a Multi Layering Technique that she hopes to demo up at the village hall when that glue slapping starts again in January.

She has been banging the card with a strange array of tools, like bottle tops and credit cards and cotton buds and fuzzy edge paint brush!

No, don't ask, just go Oooo! and Aarh! and Mmmm, Interesting!

We hear that Archie Babe will be rid of his neighbours soon, the ones that don't like his choice of fence panels!

It's nice when you can start off the New Year on a positive note!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Just a Little punch up!

Hello Woofers!

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

We had a bit of fun this morning, Old Two Legs had almost finished cleaning out the ferret cages. Miss May and Eric had been out charging about and got sleepy so she hid in the innards of the sofa. OTL found her and enjoyed a cuddle with her in his arms while she gently snoozed!

She is getting on a bit now and needs her sleep more than normal, plus it takes a while for her to wake up!

A bit like OTL really, he always takes time waking up!

Eric and May were back in their cage while OTL cleaned Monty and Wendy's cage. Eric, was still wanting to rampage was rattling the cage door. Monty was hunting for nibbles that may have been hidden in and around the office.

Wendy, on the other paw had decided that she wanted a snooze in the box where The Missus keeps her Pinafores she wears when crafting, a super place to snooze, all warm and soft!

So, we have Wendy snoozing in warm place, Monty behind the bottom drawer picking up Ferret Nibbles and Eric rattling the cage door 'cos he's still awake and wants a game!

OTL gets a bit fed up with Eric making such a noise and opens the cage door, picks Eric up and plonks him down on the desk top and squirts some Ferretone into the flip top cap.

Eric licks his lips and dives in for a king size slurp!

OTL goes back to cleaning and goes off to the bathroom to wash out the cleaning cloth.

Eric, finishing the Ferretone decides to go for a wander and soon finds the tube that leads from the desk top all the way to the floor.

Landing on the office floor he was about to head out of the door when he hears a scrabbling sound coming from the bottom drawer.

Mmmm! Must be Nargles or Nifflers stealing our stuff concludes Eric and in a flash he was into the drawer and out the back.

That's when all hell broke loose 'cos in the back of the drawer was Monty, rearranging the nibbles when, from a great height came Eric who hunts Nargles for breakfast and Nifflers for dinner!

There was a great deal of squealing, squeaking and crashing about!

There was Fear Farting and Weeing and biting and clawing!

Oh Gawd! Says OTL as he started to pull the drawers out and stack them on the desk top. After taking the three drawers out he dived into the empty space and grabbed Monty as he was about to sink his teeth into the tail of Eric!

Next Eric got picked up and deposited into Monty's clean cage while OTL marched Monty into the bathroom for a quick wash down to get rid of all the wee that covered him!

To keep him out of trouble he was put into the shower cubical and the door shut while OTL went in search of Eric to treat him to a wash and brush up!

Eric was put back into his cage and Monty was dried again and taken down stairs to have some milk and nibbles while OTL finished tidying up the office and the cleaning stuff!

It's a shame that the two ferrets don't get on together, they would have so much fun chasing around the house but I think it is a 'Territorial Thing'!

Lesson learnt by OTL and Monty has a tale to tell to Wendy!

See you all tomorrow'

Luv,

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

We couldn't eat a Whole One!

Hi Woofers!

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


Well, the day after is always a bit of a come down and down here in North Kent it's the same!

To begin with, Both Holly and I were banned to the bed room when Old Two Legs second cousin turned up with a Mini Two Legs. Now, OTL knows we don't do Mini Two Legs and normally we end up growling and woofing at them to 'clear orf'!

So we end up in the bedroom with the door shut! The ferrets were only allowed to look at them from inside their cage 'cos OTL said they were partial to a Mini Two Leg Finger or two or three!

Gnash, Gnash!

Sorted them out!

Lucky they didn't stay long, so we got our full walk at lunchtime.

Down on the football field there was a Mini Two Legs getting a ride on her new 'Grown Up Bike'!

Come on, push down on the peddles!
 We headed off to the bushes looking for a rabbit or two but we didn't see any! They must be tucked up in their beds snoozing the day away!

No rabbits here!
 We were exploring all the bushes where there is normally a rabbit or two but there was nothing, not even a little white tail bobbing about!

Holly reckons it is because of the Two Legs, too many TL's stomping about has sent the bunnies back to bed!

Well, I still say it's the TL's!
 Once we got over the hill we could see the cause, too many TL's!

There were loads of them, all with woofers off leads and running about woofing and sniffing and sniffing and woofing!

Woofing at the Wormy Man!
 They were running up and down the Sea Wall, sniffing and woofing and then they started to woof at us!

Well, I got right fed up with them, so, I did some woofing, I was far enough up the hill not to worry about them chasing and they were about my size as well!

Holly helped by telling them I was a champion woofer with a mean attitude to boot!

They kept moving!

Yeah, don't hang around she can be a big bag of trouble if she comes down here!
They didn't hang about!

When we got back The Missus was getting all excited about going down to Bluewater but we decided that she could go on her own 'cos it has just got to be packed solid with TL's trying to max out their plastic!

Well, that gave Holly and I a chance to stretch out on the sofa and sleep off the big bowl of chicken we had been served!

A woofers life don't get much better than that!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

And we all Share in a Poo Tree!

Hi Woofers!

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

We hope you all had a super Christmas Day like wot we did!

We dined on Fillet Steak followed by a big bowl of chicken all freshly cooked, still hot and greasy!

The steak was really just a small bit  we managed to snaffle from the Two Legs but it tasted rather nice!

We had some super prezzies, there were nibbles and squeaky balls and bouncy balls. The squeaky balls were for the ferrets and they had a great time jumping on them then hiding them under the TV!

We just loved the card we got from Archie Babe and the little poem in side, it went.......

Here is the tree
I like to Wee,
You can use it too
To hide you when you Poo!


Now that is great, only Archie Babe could think of that!
You know that  tickled Holly Chops and she just couldn't stop from laughing!

We settled down for the Official Foto, but that only lasted a couple of seconds 'cos Holly kept on laughing!

Hey! Where's your Poo Tree?
 OTL took twenty photos before we got this one we could use!

We are not laughing, honest!
OTL got some CD's of Sea Shanty Songs and has been singing along with most of them, we didn't know he knew so many!

There was one called 'Being a Pirate' and involved a pirate loosing bits of himself, like one eye, one ear, one hand and the last verse was rude 'cos it involved him loosing a bit he didn't have two off!

We have been putting our paws up today, very lazy and snoozy sort of day.

The ferrets stayed in their cages, rather than come out with us for a walk 'cos there were just too many woofers out walking and it would have been too dangerous letting them down for a run!

The Missus has been playing with her coffee making machine and is now making her way through a mountain of different types of coffee, some we have never heard off!

OTL has been assembling his Moth Trap, getting ready for when they come out again nearer to Spring Time!

He says he will try it out tonight, just in case there are some moths in the garden but we think he will be out of luck!

We are off now, dinner is calling!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Yo, Ho, Ho, It's The Night Before Christmas and all through the House...............

Hi Woofers!

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

Well now, have we been having some fun today.

To start off with, The Missus was up early this morning. Seems she is all excited about her new Jet Powered Vacuum Cleaner. It's more powerfully than our last one and it picks up so much dust and fluff we thought at one time it was ripping the pile out of the carpets!

When she jumps aboard it flies off at a terrific rate of knots, more like a Moon Rocket!

Holly had a great idea, seeing how there are loads of new children who will be getting prezzies this year, we have loaned TM and the Jet Powered Vacuum Cleaner to Father Santa Paws so that she can help deliver the prezzies!

We are expecting her back around midnight when someone else takes over!

This morning we waved Bye Bye as she headed over towards the back of New Zealand where the deliveries start.

She is still learning how to fly the cleaner but we reckon she will pick it up by the time she gets there!
Bye Bye Missus, there she is passing the moon!
Holly was keeping a watch out on our morning walk but OTL said that she was more than likely just starting the run!

Well, she will be chasing the sun all the way back here.
We have been digging out Old Two Legs old socks to hang up tonight. They are a bit moth eaten and there are holes in them as well but we don't mind, just as long as we get a nibble or two!

Now in the past we have got together a picture that included all of us but this year we elected Eric to wish you a Merry Christmas.

So, from all of us to all of you...........

Well done Eric!
Loads of luv,

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

The Best Christmas Prezzie!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret back with you again.

We had a bit of fun today, sort of!

It started off with us getting up a whole half of an hours later than normal. Well, there is nothing better than a Sunday Morning lay in!

Although the sun was up earlier than yesterday we still didn't see any glow in the sky. It was just too cloudy and inky black!

There were a few of the woofers out for a run including that yappy little Yorkie we saw yesterday!

He stayed well away from us today!

Flashy, Flashy!

Back home a terrible thing had happened, the vacuum cleaner ceased sucking, wouldn't blow and would only turn the sweeper roller!

Panic, how are we going to sweep up all the crumbs and bits of fluff that get dropped onto the floor?

We dug out the old carpet sweeper but that would only spread the crumbs around refused to collect them in the dust bag. Well it's not really a bag, more like a plastic tray that 'Self Empties' if you don't hold it the right way up!

There was no ready solution except.................buy another one!

So, after some research on the InterNetty Thingy, a new cleaner was identified as a possible replacement to the now defunct thing that was heading towards the dust bin!

This new one was designed to cope with 'Animals'! I suppose that means us Woofers and Ferrets!

Mind you, Holly and I don't moult, unlike the ferrets, they moult twice a year, Spring and Autumn time. However, as Old Two Legs pointed out, we do make a load of crumbs on the carpet, you know, carrot crumbs, woofer biscuit crumbs, Bramble biscuit crumbs and cheese biscuit crumbs. Then of course there is the ferret made crumbs made from Bramble Biscuits, oops! We mentioned them before!

Then there is the Ferret Biscuit crumbs, well the list goes on and on especially when we get onto the crumbs OTL and The Missus make when sitting on the sofa!

Of course, there is the paper bits TM produces when she is chopping up the cardboard that is being made into cards!

Terribly mucky!

So, off to the electrical shop and there, sitting on the shelf was an Animal Vacuum Cleaner!

The girl at the till soon sorted it all out, took the money and said Happy Christmas, to which TM replied, With A Vacuum Cleaner?

You know some TL's are never satisfied!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Did you see it?

Hi Woofers!

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

Normally we go for our morning walk in the darkness and we come back in the dark but today we woke up just a little late, so that means we saw the 'Pre Glow' of the rising sun!

Well, it's a bit earlier today!
OK, well I know it's only a tiddly bit earlier but it is earlier!

Spring is on it's way and then Summer follows and that means swimming in the sea, digging in the sand up in Scotland!

To celebrate , the Wormy Men were out this morning, a sure sign that the light had come and tide was out!

Quick, there is another one there under the sand!
 One of the things against being late is that you meet up with loads of other woofers and being dark they don't know who you are until they get up close. Take this morning, there we were sniffin' the sniffs when this loud woofing noise came bounding down the hill planning to do all manner of stuff to us, that was until Old Two Legs whipped his camera out, switched on the flash and took his picture!

Woofin' Heck! What the *$^&! was that!
 That stopped him in his tracks, he took one look at where the flash had come from, woofed once and then legged it back up the hill!

That'll teach him!

The rest of the day has been spend cuddled up to OTL on the chair and watching TV, well, It's almost Christmas and all of his customers have closed up and won't open again until the New Year.

OTL says that it's great having a holiday but he does get a bit bored half way through. That's his trouble, he's a Work Junkie!

Maybe we should get him a job with Santa Paws delivering prezzies, providing he doesn't get stuck down the chimney!

Chicken tonight!

The Missus has been resting her eyes, it's OK but the snoring is a bit loud and as we have to turn the volume up on the TV but as soon as she wakes up she shouts at OTL telling him to turn it down!

There are times when you just can't win, well that's what OTL says!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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