Wet and Windy Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what a day of running around!

It started off early with The Missus crashing through the bedroom door demanding Old Two Legs gets up at some ridiculous hour so we can walk Eric de Ferret without woofers chasing him!

Now, we don't mind early but there is early and blooming stupid early!

Well, the sun's up but not by much!

 By the time we got around to the hill it had got brighter and Eric was straight into the grass for a sniff and a snuffle!

Now, this is serious ferreting!

 Going through the woods is always great fun, loads of sniffs and strange noises that not only could be woofers but foxes and birds and rabbits as well!

Wossat making that noise? I can't see what it is!

 Mind you, if you can't see what it is we always hang back and ask OTL, he normally knows!

Alright! I give up wot is it?

 Some times OTL is of no use, I mean, when was the last time you saw a Niffler?

This afternoon it was all rain and wind so we didn't hang about too long and anyway OTL had found out that the car was ready for collection.

It cost a fortune, according to OTL and he says he might just sell a couple of dogs and a ferret or two to help him!

Yeah, In your dreams OTL!

After getting the car OTL headed off to Harrietsham to hand over the donation from the Allhallows Croppers after their Craft Thong Weekend when they raised  money towards the vet bills that come in when you are running a Ferret Rescue!

And OTL thinks he is hard done by!

We suspect that OTL has got a Kebab tonight so that means we are going to be doing some serious mugging later!

See you tomorrow and don't forget the F1 Racing this weekend!

Bye for now.

Luv,

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

No Car Yet!

Hello Woofers!

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

Another fine day down here in North Kent! Mind you, we did have some problems this morning.

There we were, looking forward to a fine old race around the football field while Eric has his morning wee and a sniff. In the distance we see a couple of woofers we have seen before, Doodle Dogs, and no intention of doing what they are told, even I have had to give them the old 'Warning Growl'!

Anyway, off they go and Eric has a run, then he gets up into OTL's arm for a rest and a look around to see what's happening in the world!

On we go, weeing and pooing our way around while Eric decides he wants a run on the ground again!

The only problem is, from behind some bushes comes this Two Legs with the woofers!

That was it, Eric had to be picked up and carried, just in case the Doodles fancied a Ferret Breakfast!

That wasn't so bad but the TL insisted on walking with OTL and talking about getting the Doodles a bath a and hair cut!

Eric was right put out that he missed out on his walk through the forest, mind you after the Doodles left he did get a bit of a run down the hill!

Come on Eric just how many sniffs are there?

 It didn't help that Holly had got a sniff of a rabbit and was legging it down the hill and into the bushes!

Look! There's Holly, Gone!

Mind you, Holly didn't stay lost for too long 'cos there were a couple of Greyhounds loose chasing rabbits as well!

Back home, after the cage cleaning, OTL settled down again with the Tax Return Form again and tried to extract the details from the Profit & Loss report from the Accountant TL!

OTL hates Tax Returns and after all the effort he has telephoned the  Accountant to visit tomorrow to explain all the figures!

Mind you, Archie Babes TL has the bucket which is just right for filing all the Returns and just to finish it off you can have a cough and a spit in it as well!

OTL has put the big car in for some repairs before we go away on holiday and this afternoon he was told it won't be ready for collection until tomorrow!

You can bet it will be a big invoice and he will be crying all the way home!

Still, at least it will be all OK for the holiday!

See you tomorrow and we plan to get out earlier tomorrow so we aren't troubled by Doodle Dogs!

Bye bye for now!

Luv,

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

Pomeranian Woofer!

Hello Woofers!

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

We think it was a great idea of Archie Babe to have a digging contest to the rhythm of some sea sounds!

To be honest, if Old Two Legs got one of those we would be up all night for a wee!

We have the sea close enough to us not to need a wave gizmo!

We took Eric with us this morning and just for a change, he decided that a cuddle in OTLs arm was better than walking in the wet grass where it had rained last night!

After a while the need for a wee gets Eric down on the ground and sniffing and he even found a ball, well, half a ball!

Oi! Come back and see what I found!

 We got back to the car park and bumped into this woofer that Holly says is a Mini Husky!

Well, she got that wrong cos this ball of fluff announced that it's breed is called a Pomeranian!

Pomeranian? Holly says, I thought that was a sort of orange!

I'm a Pomeranian, not a juicy fruit!

 Let's face it, that coat must take some brushing, I mean, you would be all day brushing it!

Yeah! You wanna see it after I've rolled into a wet and soggy sniff!

OK, all very well but we just don't do brushing, we prefer a good roll!

Lunchtime Monty and Wendy decided they would stay in bed and have a cuddle instead of charging about!

Mind you, they may have made the right decision cos when we got to the car park it was almost full!

Seems there will be a sort of fly past by twenty seven vintage Dakota aeroplanes on their way to the south coast and the D-Day celebrations!

We missed that cos OTL had to go out!

So, what did we see?

Well, no planes here!

 As we got into the forest there were two wild rose bushes, so, of course OTL just had to take a shot!

Now, doesn't look pretty?

 There was another that looked white with a little yellow around the edges and of course, right in the middle!

Well, no planes in here either!

 So, that's it for today, no planes just an afternoon of work!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Extreme Comfort!

Hi Woofers!

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

Hey! Wot happened to the sunshine today? We got down to the sea front with Eric de Ferret and it was all dark and dismal!

Now that's what we call a cloudy sky!

 Eric was doing his thing, like dragging his tail while Holly and I were waiting for him to catch up but he spent most of the tie just sitting on top of Old Two Legs shoulder and watching the clouds go by!

Well, I say we should leave them and go back to the car on our own!

There were no other woofers around so we just had the sniffs to sniff while we waited!

Holly said that the Daisies had all bloomed and made a super carpet of blossom.

Now just what is better than a carpet of Daisies?

Eric heard Holly and of course, he just had to have his say!

A Carpet of Daisies and a ferret!

 Lucky for us, the rain started to come down and we headed back to the car!

The Missus was flitting around with her feat5her duster in the caravan and Holly and I dived in to say hello when we got back. It was looking all spic and span except for the bed. Now that was looking a bit worn out, I mean, the edges looked ragged where OTL tried to sew up the mattress cover last year and didn't make too good of a job, in fact it was a bit rubbish!

Holly and I suggested that it was time he had a new mattress and helped him search the Internety Thingy for a manufacturer of caravan mattresses.

We found one who had a sales office down on the local business park!

So, we measured it all up and then double checked our figures and by then it was time to go out for our walk!

When we got out of the car it was raining!

That's it, we are not staying out in the rain! Back into the car and next stop the mattress makers sales office!

OTL spent a little time in the office and finally got things sorted and by then the rain had stopped, so it was back to the sea shore for a rabbit hunt and a poo!

Not necessarily in that order!

So, by the time we go away we will have a brand new bed for us woofers and ferrets to snooze on!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Getting Ready!

Hello Woofers!

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

I don't know why but this week is a sort of 'quiet week', I mean, nothing very exciting has happened at all and it's only Monday!

Old Two Legs has been out most of today and The Missus has been waving the feather duster in the caravan!

Now, activities in the caravan means that it's not long before we go away on holiday! The next sign is when OTL gets out the bucket and sponge and gives the caravan a good wash!

If we are lucky, we will get sunshine and a big long beach so we can run up and down and of course there is also the sea for swimming in! 

Just for OTL there is a distillery in town and a craft shop for TM although she says it's not the best one she has ever been in!

She is so picky!

Holly and I are looking forward to the Chinese take a way when we overnight in Gretna cos they some seriously good king plawns!

OTL is getting all his paperwork done and it won't be long before he fills in his income tax return and that is last thing he does before we leave!

The ferrets aren't getting excited yet, they don't do 'excited' until the morning we go and they are sitting in their travelling cage with the caravan hitched up on the back of the car!

But, that is all in the future, today it is busy busy with the boring paperwork!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another Warm Day!

Hello Woofers!

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

I don't know what it's been like your end of the world but here is North Kent we have had a rather warm spell to weather!

The Missus was looking at the temperatures and announced that in Carradale, where we will be holidaying this year, it was thirteen degrees centigrade but here in North Kent it was twenty eight degrees!

Warm or wot!

As normal, Eric was out with us this morning and being Eric, he just had to get into trouble!

You see, it was like this.

Holly had a little bit of The Grumbles and ended up with a 'Klingon' hanging on her butt. So, Old Two legs put Eric back in the  ferret bag and crouched down to remove the 'Klingon'. Eric, being Eric decided he wanted to see what was going on and stuck his head out of the bag, only to find Holly in an unlady like pose with OTL wiping her butt!

Eric, thinking that Holly was trying to get into the bag, decided to warn Holly that the bag was for ferrets and not Woofers and gave Holly a nip on the ear!

It was at that point that Holly decided that a ferret would look better with it's own ear removed and tried to oblige Eric at the same time.

This left OTL trying to decide on how to separate the pair as he was holding Hollies tail up with one hand while trying to remove the 'Klingon' with his hand shoved inside a Poo Bag!

A bit of a Push and Shove took place and all were separated, dog, ferret and poo!

Holly in need of some help!

 When we got into the forest OTL spotted these things which he thinks are some sort of insect egg!

Some serious looking eggs!

 Unfortunately he has his 35mm lens so we couldn't get any detailed picture of the eggs but this was the best close up we could manage.

It looks like it was growing through the leaf!

 Lunchtime both Wendy and Monty decided it was too hot to go walkies and stayed sleeping in the bed!

Mind you, that didn't stop OTL clicking away at a Speckled Wood butterfly that was having a snooze on the woodland path!

A Speckled Wood butterfly

This afternoon OTL has been fiddling with the electrics on the big car cos' he says that he wants to mount a 'Dash Cam'.

OTL just loves his Gizmo's!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,


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

Warm or What?

Hello Woofers!

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

Just what the vet ordered, a warm and sunny day all day!

We started off with a morning walk with Eric de Ferret. We left Miss May in bed catching up with her sleep. Eric was into all the sniffs and insisted on running after me!

I'm sure he meant no harm but I remember when Freddy de Ferret used to do that but he would give us a nip on our back legs if we didn't go fast enough for him!

Hey! Can I walk with you?

 I can still remember his sneaking up behind me!

Go on, just a little walk?

Go on, I get a bit lonely walking on my own!

If you slow down a bit I'll show you where the Ferret Sniffs are!

OK, but hurry up, Old Two Legs is coming!

Lunchtime we went out with Wendy and Monty but OTL had forgotten to put their harnesses on so they could only have a walk one at a time.

Poor OTL, Monty kept running ahead and then towards the undergrowth, so he got picked up, put on the right path and let go, only to head back towards the undergrowth again!

In the end he went back in the bag and Wendy came out but blow me down if she didn't do the same thing!

That was it, back in the bag and off to see Rosie down at the village hall where Rosie was helping The Missus slosh some glue and glitter about!

She gets all the best jobs!

We are off for a snooze before bed time!

See you tomorrow,

Luv,

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

The forecast is for sunshine!

Hi Woofers!

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

Today hasn't been too bad weather wise hasn't it?

Down here there has been a bit of cloud but it has been pleasantly warm and first thing this morning young Eric decided he would come out with us for a walk, leaving Miss May to enjoy a snooze!

Holly and I chased a rabbit but as normal it got away by diving into a hole!

Them Rabbits can be right sneeky!

 Eric decided that they were not worth chasing and was quite happy to stay back and let us get on with the chase!

I don't know why they bother, I mean, they never catch one!

 In the forest Eric was having a great time sniffing all the sniffs. His coat is super smart and the bright sheen looks 'The Business'!

Do I look good or wot?

 Lunchtime Monty and Wendy decided they would come out but they fell asleep on the way down to the sea shore and were successful in blagging a lift in the ferret bag!

Just wake me when we get there!

 About the point where we start heading back to the car, we spotted a beetle scurrying across the wooden steps but we all decided to leave it along!

A Bug Beetling along!

 Both Monty and Wendy enjoyed the run in the long grass and the meadow flowers!

Miss Wendy just loves the grass and the sniff of the plants!

Being Friday, Old Two Legs normally finishes early but today he had some deliveries to make and he had stuff to take to the carriers so that means he hasn't finished until late, poor lad!

Us woofers on the other paw have enjoyed a super afternoons snoozing!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Happy Birthday Eric de Ferret!

Hi Woofers!

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

Another one of those very busy days. First of all, it's Eric de Ferret's official birthday today!

We have been discussing his exact birth date and it ranges from 30th May up to 1st of June, so, we have settled on the 30th May so that if it is the 1st then he will get his birthday song a couple of days early!

OK, all together, after the count of twenty seven....................nine, fourteen, twenty seven!

Happy birthday to you,

All wee wee and poo

Sniff yer butt for a pressie

Happy birthday to yoooooooo!

There you go and he is all of three years old now and is just as much a terror as when he first arrived here!

It took a little while to settle down with Miss May cos she missed her sister but now they always seem to be cuddled up together and you can thank OTL for that cos he spent time with them both and made sure May didn't try to nip Eric too much!

Eric came out with us this morning while May stayed in bed for a snooze but she was all up and dancing about when we came back and was rattling the cage door to be let out for a rampage and some breakfast!

OTL took the car down for an MOT but it failed, seems that one of the front springs was busted and the shock absorber was in need of replacement so he had to go down to the main dealer to get an appointment and for them to check they had the correct springs in stock!

So, no time for any pictures today, especially as at one time OTL was swinging from the gutter cleaning all the moss out!

Dinner is on it's way so we will make it a quick one today cos we are expecting some beef tonight as a special treat for Eric!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Good News Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, as you know, we took Monty to the vets so he could get stabbed to prevent him getting Distemper.

Monty didn't like it, in fact he had to be held by Old Two Legs while the vet attacked Monty with that nasty sharp thingy!

Before that, the vet was listening hard through his stethoscope to Monty's heart listening for any signs of cardiomyopathy. Poor Monty was getting all upset and was in need of a cuddle, so he scrambled up the front of OTL and snuggled up under OTL's chin and wouldn't come out again until it was time to go!

The results were that the vet couldn't hear anything untoward and suggested we come back in six months for a checkup, just in case or sooner if the coughing gets any worse.

Which, OTL says, is 'I don't know, get proper ill and we'll see later'!

Mind you, he did have a good look at Miss Aprils notes about when she had cardiomyopathy and notes the medicine she was given.

This morning we went out for our walk but this time we took Eric with us for a run. Miss May decided it was just too early to get up so she went back to bed to wait until breakfast time!

OTL had some jobs to do including getting an MOT done on the big car but when he got to the garage they told him the machine wot doz the testing was broken, so he will have to come back tomorrow if they can't fix it today!

Still, one good thing, while he was out he picked up some chicken chews for us woofers and some chews for the ferrets as well!

Yum, Yum, Yum!

Lunchtime we left the ferrets snoozing and headed off to the sea shore. It was still all cloudy and gloomy and there were no butterflies to see, all the bugs seemed to have gone with the possibility of a few flies and a couple of Buff Tailed Bumblebees!

Not the most exciting day, however, we did have some fun.

Now you remember how Archie Babe got into trouble mucking up the duvet? Well, Holly and I have a surprise for OTL when he gets into bed tonight 'cos we were given a carrot each and we made a bit of a mess on the bed. So, to get out of trouble, we hid all the carrot crumbs under the duvet, on OTL's side of the bed!

Pity it wasn't some doggy biscuits, crumbs, that would be fun!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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