Sun Shine and a Lost Ball!

Hi Woofers!

We are back again, McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty MacFerret!

Now us woofers are good at getting our own way, I mean, we just have to look at our Two Legs and give them 'The Look' coupled with a little Mental Telepathy and Boom, it's done!

For instance.

Now, pay attention, I'll woof this only once!
 I'm quite good at doing the 'Look' and Holly just has to roll her eyes and it's sorted!

Look into my eyes........Look into my eyes!
 When Holly does 'The Look' it is normally something to do with food but with me it is 'Walkies'

Me on our crowded beach!
 One good thing about our beach is that there is a lot of sea before it gets deep and I have to go out a long way before I loose the sandy bottom!

OK, Throw the ball.......I said Throw The Woofing Ball!
 Now, we had great fun throwing the ball and me chasing it but we got into trouble when my paws couldn't find the bottom and I need the bottom to push against the ball 'cos my mouth isn't big enough to get the ball in.

Well, you know what happens, Old Two Legs throws the ball too far, I can't pick it up, my paws are off the bottom and the ball floats off into the sunset!

Anyone seen my ball?
 One thing we did see this afternoon, a Nelly Fish but it's paws were on the bottom of the sea, so it was stuck and we don't think it will swim away 'cos the sea was going out rather than coming in!

A grounded Nelly Fish!
 Now, I bet you didn't know but today is the longest of the year. We didn't get up early to see the sunrise 'cos there were no stone markers to mark the suns progress around the sky. It seem that there are some cairns around here but no stones, funny that!

As OTL says, 'There's Rockall Here'!

He is such a wag!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty MacFerret!

Today we are getting the Camp Site in order!

Hi Woofers!


McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty Mac Ferret here in rainy/sunny Scotland!

Well, there are some Two Legs in this world don't appreciate a woofer with Green Claws! I mean, there he was, helping out with his vast experience and making sure the planty things don't get into trouble and wot thanks does he get?

If it was me, I'd wee over the strawberries just when they get ripe!

Here in sunny Scotland we have been introducing ourselves to the local woofers by threatening them with a Southern Woofer Welcome if the disturb our holiday and the other woofers on site also get a warning if the pass our caravan too closely when they are heading off for a wee!

I've spotted a couple of rabbits and chased after them through the camp site until they disappeared into the brambles!

That's them sorted!

We were up bright and early this morning, mainly because the ferrets snoring woke us up!

Our next job was to wake The Missus to give us our morning walk in the Scottish Sunshine!

A Warm and Sunny Scottish Morning!
 It wasn't too long before the sun shone through the rain and a super Rainbow appeared just behind the camp site!
We couldn't find the pot of gold!
 The instructions for parking the caravan and car plus on which side to have the awning are strictly enforced. OTL had trouble parking the caravan 'cos there was a fire extinguisher in the way, however, OTL came up with the answer, he moved the marker post to the middle of the caravan!

All parked up proper like and TM is about to hang the curtains!
 While OTL cleans the cages, the ferrets get the run of the caravan and Miss May has her medicine and stuff. After that she has her run around and even chases Eric under the door and into the loo!

Good gun especially when TM is using it!

OK, I'm coming, ready or not!
 When Wendy and Monty were let out there was chasing and rampaging all over the place!

A bit of a blurred shot but it was without flash and inside the van!
 Once the van was sorted and the ferrets returned to their cages, Holly and I headed for the beach again. The sky looked like it was going to brighten up but half way through the walk we had to head back to the van again, too much rain!

Yep! Here it comes again!
 TM has started on the first of her two 'Projects' and OTL was commanded to help her take all the stuff she needed out of the caravan and into the awning.

There was loads of stuff, I mean OTL's arms were aching bu the time he finished, and he has to take it all back tonight!

OTL reckons he may be lucky and get the moth trap out over the weekend, that should be fun, Highland Hawk Moths!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty Mac Ferret!

We are finally Here!

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty Mac Ferret here at last!


We have finally arrived with no mishaps or any thing that sounds as though it has broken!


On the visit to Campbeltown, towing the caravan, Old Two Legs stopped outside the local distillery and purchased a bottle of their finest giggle juice!


It was a bit of an effort putting up the awning but in the end it was erected, the prayer flags tied in place and the electricity connected!


Today it has been a day to finish off the awning and clean out the ferret cages. This morning Miss May had a small fit and scared us all especially as it was at six thirty in the morning!


OTL sorted her out and after a cuddle and a but of reassurance she drank down her medicine and some Convalescence powder mixed with a drop of Lactose Free Milk and she was back to normal again!


Trying to find an Internetty signal has been a bit of a struggle. OTL and The Missus have been wandering around the site, laptop in hand searching for a signal!


Trouble is, the signal keeps disappearing and then returning!


You know what? TM knows a load of swear words that we never knew she knew!


We blame it on FaceAche!


Once we have settled down and got it all sorted OTL has promised to do some photo's.


So, hang on to your dialling digits and we will be back tomorrow with some tales of daring do's of us on the beach!


Luv,


McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty Mac Ferret!

We're Here!

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty Mac Ferret here!

Well, we have had some fun today. The trip up to Gretna was great, especially when we were pulling faces at the truck drivers! We sung our 'Archie Babe' song as we passed but we didn't hear anything, Holly reckons he was too busy chasing the vet around town!

We stopped at the Motorway Services where we normally stop, they are the only services that have a good woofer walking area where we can have a good sniff, wee and a poo!

Another advantage is we get to park up in the truck parking area, loads of space and enough grass for the ferrets to have a run!

It's good fun watching the truck drivers watching Old Two Legs walking the ferrets! They just didn't believe that Eric McFerret could blow a raspberry at them!

OTL didn't have time to take any photographs today.

Now, we are off to see if the Chinese Takeaway is open or are we stuck with battered sausage and chips!

We should arrive tomorrow around midday so we'll tell yoou more tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty Mac Ferret.

Eric was reported as 'Lost!'

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it's been all go today, Eric came out for a walk this morning, leaving Miss May at home to catch up on her snoozing!

There is and are where Eric just loves to dive into the grass and wild flowers. He went so far under the flowers that Old Two Legs had to follow him, undo the lead and pull it out before hooking him up to the lead again!

Mind you, Eric is getting very caring as far as us woofers are concerned, he has started to climb down from OTL's arms and stands there waiting for Holly and I to pass before chasing after us!

Back home we have been loading and stacking and packing and sneaking in some extra nibbles for the journey!

Eric and May have the run of the house while OTL cleans their cage and normally, when the cage is ready for them to move back in, May can be found hiding in the Pinny Box when The Missus keep all her pinafores.

Eric is normally found snoozing on my bed!

Today Eric wasn't where he normally is and what is more, he didn't come running when he heard OTL waving the 'Squeaky Chicken' toy that make a terrible noise! OTL was hunting all over the place, behind the chairs, under the furniture and even in the washing bin where the clothes are stored before getting washed!

OTL was getting worried.

All the rubbish bins were checked, the storage bins in TM's workspace were all emptied and reloaded.

Then OTL had an idea.

He checked the travel cage on top of Monty and Wendy's cage and there, curled up, with his eyes tightly shut, snoring his tail off was little Eric all worn out after the run this morning!

TM has been marching in and out of the caravan with clothes and 'Improtant Stuff' like DVD's and Crafting Stuff.

OTL always gets worried when she starts to load all her stuff in the caravan 'cos he reckons that the axles might break!

This afternoon  we went out for a walk, in the rain, but it didn't last long and we decided that we will have snooze before finishing off the loading!

The sun came out just as we arrived and we went hunting the bunnies, just to let them know they have two weeks off!

Two Weeks, that's all you got, then we'll be back!
 Holly was pretending she had told all the other woofers where the rabbits hide, so they had better stay in their holes until we come back!


Yeah, the big woofer with the teeth will be after you!
 Not that the rabbits believed us, you could hear them laughing and saying the Highland Bunnies would 'Sort us out', yeah, you and who's army!

When we are up there can I get OTL to buy us a set of bagpipes?
So, everything is almost done and we are planning an early night then we're off!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

And don't forget the Baby Wipes!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, what a day! We have been making a big pile of stuff in the lounge, just where the front door is. Loads of camera gear and moth traps and cages and so much stuff we have had to stuff some of it under the stairs! Reminds me of Harry Potter!

The sun has been in and out today and our morning walk was interesting 'cos we could see both of the Thames Anti Aircraft gun sites!

Normally we can only see one site!

There is a lot of strange stuff off our shores, mostly loud and dangerous!
 Back home Holly got her claws trim trimmed and the hair cut from around her paws. She doesn't like being trimmed so made a bit of a fuss and Old Two Legs was having to hold her down while he clipped the hair away. Mind you, after Holly got done OTL did himself and gave himself a hair cut and a beard trim!

He looks almost bald now!

Mind you, bald is his 'natural state'!

Lunchtime we went out again and OTL spotted a Bunny but didn't tell us!

Wassamatterwivderwoofersdon'ttheywannagame?
 The rabbit saw us, ran into the bushes and then ran out again when we didn't chase it!

We came across a woofer who had lost his Two Legs but as he was asking us if we had seen his TL we heard the TL calling from over the other side of the bushes!

I don't like it when I loose my TL!
 Mind you, a woofer should always know where the TL is, even if the TL doesn't know where the woofer is!

We are going to sort out the DVDs tonight and see what we will take!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Last Working Day!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, we have woken up to some sunshine and blue skies! It wasn't too cold and although there were clouds, there weren't many!

It beats the rain!
 It was fun walking through the forest with the sun shining through the trees.

It maybe pretty but I can still sniff Rabbits!
 There weren't many insects around, maybe it was because of the rain yesterday. We saw just one small butterfly and a couple of hover flies and that was it, maybe there will be more tomorrow, providing it stays sunny!

Almost an insect free zone!
 Holly says that she likes pictures of the trees and long grass, just for a change!

Here we go, just for Holly Chops, no Insects, Woofers or Rabbits or even Two Legs!
 Mind you, it can't last forever and before long Old Two Legs found a couple of Woofers enjoying a sniff!

I've sniffed that one before!
Tomorrow The Missus is off to the village hall for the last Crop before we go away, so, that means we can start getting all our stuff downstairs ready for loading into the caravan. The ferrets have been arguing over which cuddle cup they will take away and Eric was having 'discussions' with Monty over what squeaky ball they could take with them!

 Tomorrow OTL will be loading up all the camera stuff and the moth trap. Then the next is Woofer Stuff followed by Ferret Stuff then it's OTL Stuff!

Right, I sniff dinner so I'd better get down stairs before that Holly chops eats it all!

Bye for now.

Luv,

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

One More Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Here we are, getting all excited and looking forward to the wet of Scotland! Mind you, if we get lucky we will arrive on the back of the storm clouds and ride into the camp site on a wave of sunshine!

This morning we headed for the sea shore for our normal walk, out of the car we get and have a good sniff across the football field.

As we walked around the corner we bumped into a monster woofer the size of a horse!

It was enormous, I mean it was big, ugly and slobbering all over the place!

OTL managed to get in between this monster me and I ran off a bit to get away. Then this thing took a fancy to Holly and lolloped over to have a sniff but OTL, after taking a picture, just for the record, he managed to get this thing's attention and allowed Holly to get past and off she went like the woofer was after her!

You look tasty!
 The owner of this thing came around the corner with another monster on a lead and called out to  this thing.

Hey! He called, 'Bear' come here!

Of course this monster took no notice of his TL and kept sniffing OTL!

Then, having got bored, he lolloped off!

We have never seen them before and we will be watching out for them!

As we carried on the rain started and it got worse and worse and before long it was enough to wash off all the slobber that monster had left on OTL's jacket!

And more rain is still up in the clouds!
Back home we got a good rub down with our towels and as a thank you to OTL, we let him use our towels to dry off his trousers that were soaking wet!
 they did!
Lunchtime the rain eased off enough for us to get out again and the flowers opened up across the field, looked right pretty!

A proper wild flower meadow!
OTL spotted this butterfly flitting about and came to land on the plant, OTL says it looks like a Small White!

He is getting good at spotting butterflies.

A Small White having a rest!
OTL says that he plans to take his Moth Trap with him when we go on holiday so he can see what moths are around the campsite in Scotland.

Who knows, we may find the Wild Haggis Eating Gnasher Moth!

Now, we reckon that getting stabbed is something to make a fuss about, I mean, If you yelp and moan in a pained way you get even more nibbles and cuddles! Archie Babe has just got to get crafty!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Another Soggy Doggy Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it's good to see Missy Sue again, not sure what finger alignment and her cranium has to do with a sniff but it's a case of whatever turns you on!

Today we had the leftover rain from yesterday but it didn't come until the afternoon, so, that means Eric gets a chance to have a rampage around the sea shore and the forest!

The Morning Gloom!
When he puts his mind to it, young Eric can look right smart! Especially when he is ferreting around in the grass!

Do I look cute or wot?
Mind you, Miss May has decided that Eric can go for a morning run on his own 'cos she is having trouble waking up in the mornings!

Well, she is getting on a bit now and the Insulinoma makes her tired until after she has had her morning medicine!

Of course, that means Eric tends to spend more time sniffing with Holly and I.

Eric has a problem, he prefers Ferret Sniffs and thinks Woofer Sniffs are 'Rough Around The Edeges'! 

We don't mind, let's face it, he is a Ferret!

Why does a Woofer Sniff always sniff of Poo?
Lunchtime it was pouring down, in fact, it was so wet that we had to sit in the car for fifteen minutes until the rain eased a little!

We finally got out of the car but it was still raining but we managed a quick walk around the forest before heading back home again.

OTL took the old caravan mattress down to the rubbish tip and he had to take identification to show he lives in the area!

That all done it was just a case of fill up the fuel tank and get a litre or two of engine oil and we are almost ready for the off!

Holly and I are looking forward to the Chinese Take Away when we get to Gretna, providing of course it is open on a Monday!

If not, then it will be Fish and Chips!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Blue Sky's Again!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, today it has all been better, the rain only came out last night but the blue sky was up in the sky for most of the day!

The grass was wet, we know that 'cos Old Two Legs was moaning about the amount of water that was leaking into his welly!

We reckon that he may buy a new pair when he is away on  holiday!

Walking across the football field Holly was brought to a stop by a voice telling her to watch where she was going!

It took a couple of moments to find out the source!

Oi! Watch where you are sticking your paws!
It was Sid the Streak, our local long distance Marathon Runner!

Sid was out for his morning race around the field before all the other woofers came out for a walk!

You just can't get a good jog in nowadays!
One of the good things was that Holly was out hunting the fox sniffs we missed yesterday. I mean, we can't have us missing the sniff that Old Two Legs managed to find yesterday!

The only problem was, no fox!

Here Foxy!
The sun was out at lunchtime so OTL decided to invite Monty and Wendy to come out with us. Of course, with OTL holding onto there leads didn't have room for the camera but both ferrets enjoyed a walk through the grass and flowers, sniffing the sniffs!

Now the rain is heading north we are expecting some sunny weather, mind you, next week we are heading north, let's hope the rain keeps going further north!

You can tell we are getting close to holiday time, The Missus has had her hair cut and OTL has been looking at his camera gear and trying to decide what gear to take!

Holly and I have been making a list of stuff we want to take away with us, like nibbles and rubber balls and cushions and our rain coats. Well you never know, it may rain!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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