Getting Warmer and I get Hung Up!

Hi Woofers!

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

Wot a super day it's been.

We were out early this morning enjoying the early morning sun. Loads of sniffs, nothing new but just interesting.

The must have trodden in something real sniffy!

 Old Two Legs was doing his normal bug hunting but other than a single spider, there was nothing worth a picture!

Where is everyone today?

 So, just one spider and a flower that looked worth a click!

A Wild Rose with flluffy bits on it!

Back home we got sent to the bedroom while the ferrets got to rampage around the house and OTL got to shovel ferret poo!

However, all was not well.

I fancied a scratch on the side of my neck and proceeded to give it some, trouble was, I got my Dew Claw caught in my collar and couldn't get it out.

So, there I was with one paw up in the air and not moving and the other three paws on the ground.

I was stuck!

Holly took one look and said that OTL should be informed, so, she woofed,  and then she woofed some more but with a bit more of an insistence.

OTL thought that the woofing was not the normal woof we give if the postman or cat passed the door and came into the bedroom to see what the matter was, saw me with a paw in the air and unhooked me!

Then, after checking me for injuries, he gave Holly a 'Well Done' stroke and a cuddle and told her she was a good girl!

I got a cuddle as well!

Lunchtime both Monty and Wendy came out for a run but it was rather warm so they didn't run around but rather had a slow mooch along the path and through the forest.

We saw a couple of butterflies but OTL didn't have his camera so no pictures today, maybe tomorrow!

We are all getting excited about the weekend up at the village hall and both sets of ferrets plan to put in a show!

Let's hope Rosie will be there!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Snoozy Sort of Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Ever get one of those days when nothing much happens but the day just sort of flies by, excluding the snoozes in between!

Well, it's been one of those days here. We have had Old Two Legs gassing on the telephone while the ferrets were running about their cages making a terrible noise which in turn woke us up and both Holly and I told them to be woofing quiet!

Not that they took any notice of us at all and carried on crashing about!

Going out for our walks there was nothing to interest us, just the normal sniffs, nothing new or exciting!

OTL tried photographing a Buff Tailed Bumble Bee diving in and out of the flowers but we reckon he should have put the setting on 'Speed', still, by the time he worked that out the bee had gone!

Can't catch me I'm a buff Tailed Bumble Bee!

 Everything else was hiding or still asleep!

Mind you, lunchtime Eric and May came out for a walk and had OTL chasing about picking them  up and then putting them down, then picking them up again as they had a great game with him.

Mind you all this playing OTL up means the walk is rather slow!

Come on, we want to get home today!

 Maybe tomorrow will be a bit more exciting, I mean, we could come across a woofer in a baby grow or a ferret sticking out of jacket!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

......................and now we return a few years later!

Hi Woofers!


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

Now you remember yesterday when we got hold of that photograph of Old Two Legs and Cousin Alun? Well, first of all Alun wasn't wearing bloomers or a baggy skirt! No he was wearing what was the 'In Fashion' all in one suit that allowed a nappy to be worn underneath, only he wasn't wearing a nappy it was just that he still had that suit to play in!

No one had much money in those days and we had to wear things line knitted swimming costumes!

However, a few years later on, in fact in the mid sixties we had a few bob in our pocket and could afford all the latest gear!

Now, OTL is on the left with Alun in the middle and Glynis on the right and yes, even then OTL had a camera in his hand!

Didn't they look smart!

 Nowadays the pair of them are loosing their hair and are a bit slower!

Today it has been sunshine almost all day and OTL still has a camera in his hand to take pictures of what interests him, like these weeds called Alexandria. The village committee are doing their best to chop it all down!

If this goes there will be nowhere for the bugs to play!

 Now, this one looks like a sort of nettle plant 'cos there are so many spikes on the leaves, but the flower is a good shade of blue!

Just look at those spikes!

You know it almost looks like a face in the middle there!

 Both Holly and I ran away from OTL and headed down onto the beach for a quick paddle and a dig in the sand.

OTL knew where we were and sat himself down on a bench to wait for us. Now Holly and I couldn't see him on the bench so the pair of us came running back at top speed and I did my best to fly!

High Speed Daisy Dog in full flight!

Holly didn't manage to get airborne but came steaming through the grass like a 4X4 on steroids!

Out of my way, this could be a crash landing!

Back home we had a mooch in the garden while the sun was shining on the pond then headed back indoors for a snooze before dinner time!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

We're running short of Creepy Crawlies!

Hi Woofers!

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

Old Two Legs has fun going away with his cousin Alun for a few days up in Scotland seeing all the sights and visiting all the distilleries and generally having a good time. Now, we found out that this is not a new thing, apparently they have been doing this sort of thing since they were very young!

OTL is on the right!

Hey! You got any Gripe Water?

Enough of this history lesson!

There wasn't too many things to photograph this morning, there was a snail having breakfast.

This leaf isn't very fresh!

 There was a House Fly who was looking for a house to invade!

This is bad, not even a Bungalow to be found!

Now, we did find a new bug and it is described as 'One of the Squash Bug'!

I suppose that is because it looks like it has been trodden on! We have seen the Shield Bugs but this is the first one of this species we have seen!

Coriomeris Denticulatus, if you can pronounce it, but I'm still a Bug!

This bug looks funny with the badge on its back. There is another but it has black line down the side of its shoulder.

These bugs are getting very technical!

Today we had some drops of rain half way around the lunchtime walk so we decided to head back home and have a well earned snooze this afternoon.

We know how to live!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

More Bunnie Chasing!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, we said we would be back but they just didn't listen!

So, there they were, munching their breakfast and chatting away.

Yeah, I just love a relaxing Sunday Breakfast.

 When..............................................

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge!

 We didn't catch them 'cos they spotted us at the last moment and dived into the brambles and that was it, no Bunny Breakfast for us!

Being a Sunday everyone seemed to be in bed, even the snails were snoring their shells off!

No thanks, I want at least another half an hour!

 One of the funny things was to see a Crane Fly trying to hang onto two blades of grass and the wind blowing him all over the place!

I need a climbing rope and crampons!

 A bit further on there was Sid The Streak dining on a leaf  and getting ready for his morning run!

This could do with some Brown Sauce!

 There, on the next leaf sat one of those nasty, hairy arsed, blood sucking monsters that attacked Archie Babe. It's a good job that the mosquito lives down here and not up near Archie 'cos it might be suffering from a serious head ache!

Hey Man, fancy being a blood donor today?

 We left her hanging on the leaf and went hunting Bunnies!

Old Two Legs saw another wild rose showing off its blooms and took this picture!

A Gentle and Soft colour to the petals.

Now, we have got a serious problem, we can't think about our Archie Babe without bursting out in laughter, I mean, a Baby Grow!

Now we thought he was a big brave macho woofer!

We reckon that the best thing he could do is to find a big pile of smelly sniff and have a good roll, just to add a little 'colour' to it!

We are off to pick up The Missus from The Cat Woman's house, all the cleaning up has been done and the house is back to 'Acceptable'!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


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

A Good Day for Hunting!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, what a day it's been today. Not the best weather wise but at least it hasn't been raining! There we were all fast asleep and enjoying the extra space we had in bed when we were awaken by The Missus sending a 'Good Morning' message on the mobile phone! I mean, she wakes us all up when she is at  home but why do it when she is away!

Rumour has it that last night she and The Cat Woman were up late last night drinking their way along the Gin Shelve in the bar!

You just can't trust them!

Well, being up so early we headed off to the sea shore and caught the Wormy May playing with the worms!

'Morning Wormy Man!

You know it was so early that we didn't see a single rabbit anywhere, all the birds were still tucked up in their nests and the moths had all gone to bed as well!

I mean, was it something we said?

Being nothing else to photograph, OTL got down on his knees and took a picture of some grass fonds that were about to spread pollen all over the place!

Looks pretty but does nothing for OTL's Hay Fever!

We reckoned he was very brave getting that close to the grass!

Along the path into the woods we saw the wild rose plant had sprouted a couple more blooms, so, click click went OTL, then he sneezed and nearly blew the flower off the tree!

Watch out, here comes a sneeze!

As we got deeper into the forest OTL was hunting around for anything that had legs and found this Micro Moth. Now, looking in his 'Book of British Insects' we reckon it's an Agriphila Tristella which is one of the Grass Moths Species, 'cept we found this on a tree leaf instead of a grass stem! Still, it was only 8mm long and it was clever for OTL to have spotted it!

One of the Grass Moth Gang!

Where the path sometimes gets really boggy when it rains they have put down some wood chippings to help soak it all up. Now this attracts some butterflies and one of the favourites is the Speckled Wood and this one opened it's wings just as OTL arrived!

Just look at those wings!

Just around the corner there was a little spider with two very long front legs, after looking in the book OTL says it could be a male Running Crab Spider 'cos the male has a black body and head while the female has a pale brown body!

Hello, my name is Tibellus Oblongus, but you can call me Archie!

Tibellus oblongus

 Mind you, OTL could be totally wrong and it name could be Cedric!

We are off now 'cos the FA Cup football match has started!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Gloomy or Wot!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, we were expecting a bit of sunshine today but it's been nothing but gloomy all over the place!

Grey skies, grey clouds and a wind off the sea as well!

Not too cold, just dismal!

Not exactly exciting is it?

 Of course, one of the problems is all the sniffs get blown about and finding them becomes very difficult!

Can you stop the wind? It's getting terribly hard to find the sniff!

 It was just as well, we couldn't hang around 'cos Old Two Legs had his orders, he had to take The Missus down to The Cat Woman's house.

Ready for the off to the weekend retreat!

Lunchtime we were out again and this time we left the ferrets to snooze in their beds 'cos they wouldn't like the wind!

As we headed across the football field OTL spotted a rabbit chewing on some grass and wasn't paying too much attention to a couple of woofers and a Two Legs heading in his direction!

We got very close before Bunny Chops saw us, then it was  'POW!' and 'CHAAAAARGE!'

Come here you long eared lunch!

 Well, first it went one way, then it changed direction and went another way, then it disappeared and came back running another way and finally it dived into the undergrowth and we lost it!

We will be back tomorrow so we will be after him again!

The rest of the walk was sniffing out the rabbits but they had all gone leaving just just the sniff!

It's no good, you can't eat rabbit sniffs!

Now what was worse, the wind was blowing all the insects back into their hiddy holes so, no photos!

Still, we got a good evening coming up, paws up on the sofa, nibble bags all open and Game of Thrones on the TV!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

All set for a fun weekend!

Hi Woofers!

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

The wind is back, we can tell just how strong the wind is by the tears streaming down Old Two Legs cheek! Poor lad has glasses that help him see but when the wind hits them, it's just horrid, according to him anyway!

It's a good job us woofers don't suffer with bad eye sight!

Mind you, there are times when we don't know if it's a rabbit or a clump of weeds or a pigeon!

I dunno, I can't see it's white tail and does a bunny have wings?

 OTL was missing out on the insects and stuff 'cos of the wind but he did find a Crane Fly hiding in the grass away from the wind!

Long legs can be awkward sometimes!

 Hey! You know yesterday we found a moth on the front door? Well, OTL sends off an email to this Moth Website and asks wot our moth is called, seems it is very common and goes by the name of a Garden Carpet Moth. Now, knowing that OTL went back to the book and looked it up and found the picture and an explanation that the colours and pattern could change a little, so that's why he was not sure!

But he does now!

On our way back home we bumped into Bert, Holly's boyfriend, and she got sort of trapped but as he was whispering sweet nothings in her ear, I legged it past them in double quick time!

Fancy coming home with me and I'll show you my wicker bed?

 Needless to say, Holly said he was a naughty woofer and wandered off wiggling her tail at him!

Sometimes I feel sorry for Bert, he is so smitten by Holly!

Lunchtime we took Miss May and Eric out with us, along the path on the hill and then across a wide area of grass and small bushes. May just loved it and had a super roll in the grass while Eric stuck his nose into the grass and sniffed his head off!

Holly and I have been making a list of the TV programs we want to watch over the weekend, starting off with Game of Thrones and then Lord of the Rings and several others!

The Missus is off to a weekend retreat with The Cat Woman and I suppose they will try to drink the bar dry!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A day of Dunno's!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, today it has been just great! The wind has dropped and changed direction as well!

It was blowing gently from the east, so it was coming in off the sea.

Old Two Legs was still hunting any insects he could find to photograph and mumbling about the lack of plants for the insects to land on!

The first thing he found was this Small Copper who was resting on some wooden steps!

Well, it looks like a Small Copper!

There were loads of flies everywhere plus some small Horse Flies but we suggested that because they were small they should be called Pony Flies!

When we got home there was this moth resting on the  front door! OTL wasn't too sure what it was called so he has emailed the picture off to a Moth Web Site for some help!

Dunno what this one is but it was hanging on our front door!

Lunchtime we took Wendy and Monty out for a walk. Well, they had a walk then climbed back into the bag then out again for a walk, then back into the bag again!

I wish they would make up their minds!

We didn't take the camera 'cos minding the ferrets and us and watching out for strange ferret eating woofers, OTL wouldn't have enough paws to hold it all!

So, on the way back from our morning walk we saw this wild rose starting to shove it's blooms out!

Well, it looks like a wild rose!

Every time we go out for a walk we are always on the watch out for bunny rabbits but just of late we seem not fast enough to catch them!

Mind you, that doesn't stop us from trying!

It's a Daisy and Holly Bunny Chasing Woofers!

 We have suggested that the ferrets try some bunny chasing but they just don't seem that enthusiastic about wrestling a rabbit!

We hope Archie Babe is getting over his itchy back, Holly reckons it was a mosquito wot did the damage, they are down here but we are lucky that OTL puts some yucky stuff on our back and it seems to keep most of the nasties away. Like at the moment the stuff is a repellent for those spider things called Ticks!

Now they are nasty things!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another Warm and windy day!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, we have discovered wot a Mexican Train is!

We weren't impressed, we thought it had something to do with eating!

This mornings walk was a little earlier than normal and we didn't spot any moths or insects other than some flies resting on the leaves and warming up for the day's fun and games!

We think this is a Cluster Fly

 We had some fun chasing a couple of Bunnies but to be honest they were too far away for us to catch them!

There goes a bunny or two!

 Lunchtime both Eric and May came out with us and although it was still windy, we managed to get out of the wind and went off sniffing the sniffs!

Of course, whenever Holly and I stopped for a sniff they would come charging up behind us and shout 'BOO'!

Take a deep breath and 'BOO!'

 It was fun when both Eric and May did it at the same time!

I must admit, they very nearly got wee'd on a couple of times when they got too close!

Dangerous games!

Back home OTL has been searching through the paperwork 'cos it is getting close to 'Tax Return Time' which always causes him to get a headache!

With a bit of luck the wind might drop tomorrow and we can have some fun!

We feel sorry for Archie Babe and that horrid plastic collar, we hated it when we had to wear one, mind you after a while you get fed up trying to get around in and give up and rest your head on your paws and look glum!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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