A Woofer Day

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it's been a day of woofers! You see, we were out this morning a little later than normal 'cos Old Two Legs over slept!

Mind you, we didn't mind, I mean, a nice warm comfortable bed and a soft pile of blankets is just the thing for a couple of snoozy woofers!

We were expecting some rain today and on our way down to the sea shore the windscreen did get wet but by the time we got there, it had stopped!

Out we got and of course we were looking for Bunny Wabbits!

No Wabbits here, just a soppy Pigeon!

 A walk through the woods didn't produce anything to chase, just the odd Blackbird chasing worms!

The sun was well up and burning a hole into the clouds. I reckon  if OTL had got down about half an hour earlier he could have got a good sun rise, but he didn't, so, you got this effort!

Half an hour too late!

 We did manage to meet some of the gang, Holly got to say hello to Bert. Bert just loves Holly Chops but she plays him up something awful  and acts the tart something rotten!

After Bert we met up with Scruff and the rest of the gang.

Scruff was more interested in sniffs but he did say hello to OTL!

I'm on the trail of a sniff, sorry, can't stop!

 There was Fluffy, that's not her real name but because her hair is so soft and fluffy OTL can't always get a focus lock!

Mind you that didn't stop her from greeting OTL and get a stroke!

It's the wind that does it!

 Today has been the first day when OTL has been able to sit down at the computer and catch up  on the pile of paperwork on his desk.

Lunchtime we took May and Eric with us for a walk and just for them the sun was out although there was a bit of a wind blowing!

This afternoon it was paperwork again and paying invoices that have piled up over the last two weeks!

So, if OTL wants to work, then we can snooze!

It looks like it will be wet this weekend and a storm is heading our way, OTL says he thinks it will be called 'Hanna' mind you it could also be called 'Harry'!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Emergency Trip to Birmingham!

Hello Woofers!

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

Sorry about missing yesterdays doings but we have a good excuse, honest, and on top of that it wasn't our fault!

You see, we were having a great time with Old Two Legs, playing chase around the house, woofing at the neighbours and eating loads of nibbles while watching the Game of Thrones on the TV.

Then we got a message from The Missus wot is up in Birmingham visiting and playing about making cards.

The message read, 'I don't feel well, I got a cough and can't sleep and I have got conjunctivitis in my eyes! Come and pick me up, I wanna go home!'

That was it, we had to clear up all the crumbs, sweep up the all the stuff on the floor in the kitchen and then there was all the ferret food that was hidden under the sofa! We had a couple of deliveries to make before heading off north!

So, 360 miles and nine and a half hours later TM was back home together with all her ten boxes of card making stuff!

This morning she was feeling better, we know that 'cos she has been ordering OTL about and giving him jobs to do!

We managed to sneak him out for a walk this morning and we all did some rabbit hunting!

While Holly was sniffing the path edges I spotted the first rabbit, well OTL saw it first but I took over and stalked it for a couple of minutes before doing the 'Bunny Chase' but it got away, just!

I spy a Bunny!

 OTL was more interested in the blooming leaves that were bursting out of the buds on the tree!

Yesterday it was just a bud!

 When we got out of the woods OTL tried another 'sunrise' photo and the fact there was a cloud brushing across the sky made for something different!

Moody or wot?

 As we headed back to the car, Holly and I were sniffin' the sniffs and reading the 'notice board' and didn't notice that OTL was having a chat with something in the bushes!

It was a rabbit!

Seems the rabbit wasn't going to run 'cos we were too close and the rabbit would have made too much noise and we would have been there like a shot!

Please, don't tell them I'm here!

Of course, OTL, being a bit of a softy, just walked past the bunny!

Today it has been clear up time and this afternoon he had to go and visit another customer so Holly and I decided to stay at home and make sure TM took her medicine!

So, all in all, a successful day and now we have the rain to look forward to tomorrow!

By for now!

Luv,

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

Is it Monday already?

Hi Woofers!

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

Time flies when your having fun!

Like this morning, there we were, out for the morning stroll and we saw that bunny again. It was just too far away to give chase but Holly put in a token dash but gave up after the bunny disappeared into the brambles!

I'm a sneaky bunny and you can't catch me!

After we came out of the woods there were no bunnies out having breakfast, so, we just sort of enjoyed all the wet sniffs!

Well, there was a lot of dew on the trees this morning.

No Bunnies and on top of that, my paws are wet!

Old Two Legs took this one 'cos he says that the light behind the tree reflects off the leaves and enhances the leaves in front.

Honestly, I just didn't understand what the woof he was talking about!

Yeah, it's sort of moody, I think!

Once we got out of the woods we could see the sun had got up but OTL still took a picture and did some Fiddly Diddly on the camera that made it look as though it's even earlier than it really was.

Yeah, it's OK but we have seen a few like this before!

Lunchtime we took Wendy and Monty out with us for a walk. There were loads of Two Legs and Mini Two Legs running about plus there were loads of strange woofers plus a smattering of woofers we knew.

Of course, the ferrets got all the attention and together with OTL telling them all about ferrets.....it was getting a bit boring!

As we got onto the football field a car parked up and unloaded some Mini TL's who rushed over the see the ferrets close up. When they arrived Holly and I wandered off towards their car 'cos where there's cars there is normally food!

The Mini TL's stopped and looked at the ferrets.........'Where is Eric? And Where is Miss May/'

Now this is not normal, TL's remembering ferret names, we must have made an impression the last time we met them!

Both Monty and Wendy were tickled pink that they almost got remembered and promised to pass on a 'Hello' from the Mini TL's!

This afternoon OTL has been busy pulling weeds from the joins in the bricks on the drive out the front of the house. He has a problem though, all that bending and crawling around has caused some pain in his back, I suppose it will be a couple of pain killers before bed and maybe a slurp of giggle juice to get him asleep tonight!

Now, we reckon there is a good chance of some chicken for dinner, we have seen him getting a pack of chicken bits out of the fridge!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Tale of Doggy Scoff!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well wot a wonderful sunny day it's been. It makes a change from howling winds and snow drift like wot we normally get at Easter time!

This morning Holly and I took Old Two Legs out for a walk at our normal time and OTL spotted a rabbit but to be honest, it was just too far away to catch, mind you, that didn't stop Holly Chops from having a go!

If we miss the rabbit we can always chase OTL!

 We went through the woods and up the hill but we didn't see any bunnies cos the sun was in our eyes!

Do you think they do sun glasses for woofers?

Back home OTL set about cleaning out the ferrets houses while Miss May rushed down stairs and straight into the kitchen where OTL had made up here medication and convalescence powder.

She was straight in up to her whiskers and slurping for England!

It has been a super change in Miss May, from a wobbly little ferret that we didn't think was going to last long, she has now put on weight and races around the house and beats up Eric!

When she gets out for a walk she is rolling in the grass and kicking her paws in the air!

Wow! More Sniffs!

Now, normally we have a day of Doggy Scoff followed by a day of roasted chicken then another doggy scoff but yesterday we had Doggy Scoff and guess what OTL served up today?

Doggy Scoff!

I mean, what a swizz, mind you, I did scoff it all down except for a couple of chunks that I will save for later!

We have made notes and will report OTL to TM, she will sort him out!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

She's Gone!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it's been all go today, The Missus was up early and banging and crashing about getting all her boxes into the little car. There was the crop up at the village hall and she took the normal amount of gear up there!

Old Two Legs was up late, he was trying to catch up on the long drive yesterday. You know he drove 606 miles and it took nine and three quarters of an hour! Mind you, he is a good driver and the many years he spent on the road was good training!

We were out this morning down on the sea front and there was masses of sea mist covering the beach area and out to sea, so, it was a case of 'lets chase rabbits' and off we went.

It was OTL who spots the rabbit first and it was Holly and I who did the chasing but it was the rabbit that got away!

If you look carefully you can see the rabbit under the tree!

Look! Bunnies!

 Mind you, as soon as Holly and I got going!

Chaaaaaaaarge!

 Bunny Gone!

Still, we had a root around and a sniff but the Bunny was long gone!

In the woods OTL pointed out the undergrowth and just how much it had grown over the last week!

Loads of green stuff!

This afternoon TM came back with all her gear and piled it up in the lounge waiting for Marti and Lisa to come to take TM off to Birmingham for a few days.

We have got to go up there next week and pick her up.

So, I think it's Doggy Scoff tonight unless we can pinch some of OTL's dinner, a Beef Bogginoff or something like that!

See you all tomorrow and let's hope this sunshine keeps going over the Easter Holiday!

Luv,

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

A shortened walk this morning!

Hi Woofers,

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

Well, what a day! To start off, we have been short changed! I mean, us woofers have a set time and place where we have our morning walks and wee's but today instead of our walk through the woods what happens?

We get a walk over the Farmers Field!

I mean, we haven't done that since we were Tiddly Puppies!

OK, so there were some different sniffs from strange woofers and a couple of cats but we definitely got short changed!

Lunchtime it was better, we headed down to the sea front and instead of going along the sea front Holly decided to go through the woods and set off at a pace leaving The Missus to chase after us!

Holly was diving in and around the trees and bushes and made sure that TM was following close!

I reckon that Holly could get her 'Pathfinder' badge 'cos she is so good!

We got a message down from Alun and Old Two Legs. Seems they have had a good day and OTL has been snapping away!

Osprey being chased by a crow!

 Seems they were given a tip on where there were a couple of Osprey nesting locally and the best place to see the birds was from the church graveyard!

The male brings a fish to the nest for the female!

 The fish wasn't very big but I suppose that if you get enough that will keep her happy!

OTL said that he and Alun went back to the RSPB site and told them all about the nest and the birds and finished the tale off with a burst of Nah, Nah, Nah!

While he was there OTL saw a squirrel munching away on some pea nuts that had been put out for the birds!

I think I've got a tummy ache!

See you all tomorrow and with a bit of luck, OTL should be home as well!

Bye for now!

Luv,

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

Birdies and Distilleries!

Hello Woofers!

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

Oh dear! Sad News! The Missus has got a cold!

She can't blame it on us woofers 'cos we don't get colds and the ferrets are cold free and bouncing about all over the place!

We reckon she got it from one of the Glue Slappers last week!

This cold means she doesn't want to run up and down the hills when we go for a walk and we get told where she wants to go rather than letting us choose!

We hear that Old Two Legs has been having fun as well, not only have they been visiting the RSPB sites in search of a Crested Tit but the also found themselves in the car park of a famous distillery!

They found a fast flowing river under a bridge that almost turned into a water fall!

A half a mile walk just to get this!

The RSPB site was a little better, a Willow Warbler, a fer Chaffinches and a couple of Pheasants!

I got my beady eye on you!

 Seems Alun has been getting into trouble again. They stopped at this farm thingy and Alun tried to milk a cow 'cos he wanted some milk for his coffee but forgot one of the most important things....

Oi! Just warm your hands first!

 You know, I've seen this picture before, the last time he visited Dalwhinnie he had his photo taken in the same spot!

I've been here before!

You know it's a good thing that OTL left his jumper, I don't feel so worried about what's he doing 'cos I can still sniff him on the jumper, except for the bit where Holly sat on the jumper 'cos she had an itch on her butt!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Squirrel and a Distillery, what's the connection?

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it seems the The Missus needs someone to hold her hand when we go walking! When we went out we had Auntie Sheila helping to keep us in check!

Spoil sports!

Mind you, we do get longer in bed and I get to cuddle up on Old Two Legs jumper as well!

OTL has been busy, he and Alun went looking for Osprey Birdies but managed to miss out! Alun saw a Crested Tit but OTL missed that but he did managed to get a shot of a Red Squirrel scampering away!

These little critters are fast on their paws!

 OTL was clicking away but most of the time only got shots of the tree trunks or the tail end of a squirrel disappearing around the back of a tree!

He managed a raspberry at the same time he was running up the tree!

So, after walking all over the place looking for squirrels and birds it seems that got fed up and headed off to the local distillery and had a tour of the place, sampling whisky all the way around. Well Alun was, you see OTL was driving so he had to pass his whisky to Alun to sample and by the time the tour was finished Alun was telling jokes to the guide!

OTL was not happy 'cos he had to give his whisky away!

Poor lad, maybe he will have a slurp tonight!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Gone and Left Us!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, Old Two Legs has done a sneaky on us!

We were all asleep on our beds when he crept out of the house with all his gear and disappeared into the sunset Scotland bound!

What was more upsetting was the fact he has taken the laptop with him!

Holly has found out how to get into the big computer and Miss May has worked out the password to get in!

Bet you didn't realise she was 'puter savy'?

So, at the moment not photos but we are all alive and well!

I've been onto OTL on the phone, gave him a good woofing and he has promised to send some pictures down tonight.

We are having to train The Missus in what way to go when we go for a walk but she is a bit wobbly about climbing up the  hills!

Yeah, we can see the bottle of Giggle Juice?

Alun has sent down a photo of OTL having a rest in the B&B after the 500 mile trip, poor lad looks all done in!

So that's it for the moment, we'll tell you more later.

Bye for now!

Luv,

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

Busy Busy!

Hello Woofers!

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

We like Saturdays, extra half an hour in bed snoozing our heads off. Well, normally we would have but today is also Glue Slapping Day at the village hall so that means The Missus is bashing boxes and stomping up and down stairs, lights going on and off and Old Two Legs snoring!

we  did manage to get out about twenty minutes earlier than normal so that means we got to see the glow in the sky!

Well, the glow was there but the sun was well up in the sky!

 Back home again it was cage clearing and all the normal stuff then OTL got on with his 'Manufacturing' while Holly and I set about snoozing!

Half way through the morning the ran came but it cleared up as we got close to lunch time.

When we got to the football field the 'Friends of Grain' were out litter collecting and we got to say hello and get out ears tickled!

We are good girls, we get OTL to pick up our poo!

As we walked through the woods we kept on bumping into litter pickers and Holly kept calling out 'Oi! You've missed a bit!'

Look! There's a bit over there!

 It wasn't too long before we got to the hill and went chasing rabbits through the bushes again and this time we both got twigs caught up in our hair and OTL had to remove it for us before we could go chasing rabbits again!

Is that one over there?

 Around the corner we saw that the tide was out and right on the edge of the sea was a boat the looked like it had run ashore. There was a Two Legs walking on the mud next to the boat so we reckon it had just got caught by the tide and left it stranded until the tide came back in!

It's a bit far out, so OTL has done some fiddly diddly on the computer and.........

Fiddly diddly done and it's just a case of waiting for the tide to come back in!

This afternoon has been boring, OTL working, TM up the village hall and us woofers woofing at the passers by!

Wonder what's for dinner tonight?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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