Woodman spare that tree!

Hello Woofers!

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

Now, you all know what today is, don't you?

It's Miss May's birthday today and we reckon she is about seven years old.

Seven years is a good age for a ferret and although she is not as fast as she used to be, she still gets about quite well.

A little bit of hair loss but we put that down to the medicine she is taking to combat the Insulinoma.

So now, all together, after one thousand and seven.........ready?

97.......1000.........1007!

Happy Birthday Miss May
It's your birthday today
You can poo on the carpet
'Cos it's your special day!

Miss May has been spending most of the day snoozing with Eric and as a special present, she got an egg from Old Two Legs and some extra Brambles Biscuits!

Today we had a visitor armed with saws and branch chopping instruments of war!

The Missus had decided that the tree in the back garden needed a haircut! There was loads of sawing and chopping and cries of 'Timmmberrrrrrrrrr!' as big branches came crashing to the ground!

The bird box fell off as he was examining it to see how it was attached to the tree!

OTL kept out of the way 'cos he doesn't do garden stuff very well!

There was some rain this morning when we headed for the sea shore.

The sun was hiding behind the trees and clouds.

No, I can't see the sun from here!

The tree looked good but there was a sad lack of sun!

It wasn't any better around the front of the trees but at least the rain had stopped!

 The afternoon run was OK, no rain!

'Barking Potty'!

 We had fun chasing the rabbits and checking out all the sniffs, there was even a weasel sniff among the rabbit sniffs!

It's amazing how much a weasel sniff is like a ferret sniff!

the rest of the afternoon has been spent watching the tree getting chopped up into little bits and stored in the dustbin!

Even the shed has got a new coat of paint!

Battleship grey!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Back to normal again!

Hi Woofers!

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

This morning Holly was up early and it was just too early to go out for a walk, so, Holly being Holly, she headed for the food bowl, just a little comfort food you see!

Unfortunately I had got to it first and I managed to nibble mu way through the Brambles Biscuits around three this morning!

That set holly off on the hunt for anything she could find, ferret stock piles of Brambles Biscuits under the sofa or up in The Missuses Card Room and hidden under the pinny's!

Needless to say, her thumping about woke Old Two Legs up and he rolled out of bed and headed off to the shower!

On our morning walk OTL brought the camera with him and while there were not many insects awake yet, at least the flowers were there to wave to us as we passed!

'Morning Daisies and Wild Sweet Peas!

Being so early in the morning we had first go at the sniffs before everyone else sniffed it all away!

Mind you, that early in the morning means that some sniffs just don't seem possible!

Well, to wee that high he must be a very big woofer, or he was laying on his back!

Back home the ferrets were enjoying a rampage around the house and Miss May was sitting there waiting for he 'Medicine'. OTL crushes a tablet and mixes it with some convalescence powder and a slurp of Lactose Free Milk. Once she has had one lick she just doesn't come up for air until it has all gone!

Poor Eric doesn't get a look in and has to sneak some of the milk that is left at the bottom of the dish!

He makes up for it by getting first lick of the Ferretone Oil!

Today the morning was quiet, OTL fitted a 'Thingy' to the little car dash board which means a gissmo can now be swapped between the big car and the little one!

Our lunchtime walk was fun, OTL was wandering along, not taking much notice so I sneaked off down to the beach to see if the tide was in, it wasn't but there on the beach, looking out to the mud flats was a Mummy Two Legs with her family, enjoying a beach picnic!

Well, I was down there like a flash, investigating what was tasty and seeing if I could get a nibble or two.

That was until OTL came down onto the beach to chase me away!

Rotten spoil sport!

Back up on the path we found a Large White Butterfly that looked like it was wearing out his wings!

This rutting game can wear a fella out!

Being midday, the sun was up and the insects were flying around rather quickly, making the most of the sunshine.

We came across a 'Painted Lady' who landed on a leaf and was having a break. She had her wings closed, so you could tell she was having forty micro winks!

It's all go up here, I could almost wish I was a caterpillar again!

It has been fun in OTL's office this afternoon, he has been playing with the computer and transferring 'Files' all over the place between the computers.

Still, it keeps him happy and he can't get into too much trouble!

Now, tomorrow is Miss May's birthday and we reckon she is about seven years old, which is a good age for a ferret.

So, I want you all to come up with a really special 'Happy Birthday song for tomorrow!

OR ELSE!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

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

Stabbed Again, but I put up a FIGHT!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a day today has been!

The Missus took us out again this morning 'cos Old Two Legs is still playing silly whatsits again and going around in circles as normal!

Holly and I spent most of the morning snoozing on the bed, that was until lunchtime when OTL decided he needed a break and called Eric out of the cage to go for a walk.

Well, if Eric was going out then so were we and we all stood in line to have our harnesses put on. Eric being first then proceeded to try to make Holly and I jump around by pretending he was going to nibble out tails!

Finally we were all in the car and off we went.

It was a good walk, we ended down on the beach where OTL was throwing the ball for us and Eric was doing some digging of his own hole!

Now, because OTL decided to take Eric as well, he didn't take the camera and on top of that, he left the phone in the car as well!

Soppy OTL!

Not to worry, next stop is the vet!

Miss May didn't seem worried but Holly and I have long memories and we are not so easily fooled!

We first had to get on the weighing machine and like good woofers, we were both the same weight as the last time we got weighed!

Next, in to see the vet and Miss May got shoved to the front of the queue 'cos her tail needed an injection to numb it before the vet started to dig out all the muck and rubbish.

We tried to have a look but OTL and the vet were hunched up over May, OTL with the bottle of Ferretone and the vet with a hand full of things that hurt!

May got put back into the cage while we were attended to. Holly first who struggled and jumped and growled and wriggled but the vet still stuck that needle in!

Next it was my turn.

I had been watching and reckoned I could get out of this.

So, as soon as OTL reversed me around I did a quick jump and kicked my paws up, then the vet tried to stab me in my butt!

Not having that!

So I did another jump and this time I tried to climb up OTL's front, digging my claws in for extra grip!

OTL then decided that he would show me who was boss and grabbed me over my shoulders and around my chest, then his other arm came around, lifted my backside up and held me in mid air while the vet lunged at me and .............'ing 'ell'

I got stabbed!

When we got back in the car, both Holly and I gave OTL a licky kiss behind his ear, just to show we still loved him and forgave the pain and suffering he caused us.

Mind you, the receptionist caused OTL to weep, OTL's credit card almost caught fire!

The ferrets are due for a stabbing at the end of the month!

Now, that should be fun!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

A Day For Cleaning The Office.

Hello Woofers!

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

Today we are trying to do the Blog using the iPloddicus and the Apple system and connect it with the Windows PC system.

We have been told that it won’t work but Old Two Legs never did listen to that story!

So, here we go, forest the picture, sorry, it’s the first one he put his paws on!

Guess Who?

Well, that came from the iPloddicus memory bank!

Now, let’s see if we can get into the network!

Well, not exactly, but we got this from the Google Memory bank!

Then things went all wobbly and we couldn’t see what we were typing, it kept on going back to the top  of the page!

So, we will hit the ‘Save’ button and go back to the Windows Laptop and see what we have!

OK  back on the laptop and it seems like we can work with it. However, I'm not too happy with the iPloddicus going wobbly!

This morning The Missus took us out 'cos OTL overslept and both Holly and I were crossing our legs!

Lucky for TM, the woodpecker was nowhere around, We think he heard us coming so he got out of the area!

Lunchtime we were out with TM again ‘cos she said she wanted to have a walk through the Forrest. Holly and I reckon all she wanted was a dip in the sea!

OTL was left at home clearing. Up his work space, well there’s magazines all over the place and piles of paperwork followed by tools and other stuff. We reckon it’s going to take him all afternoon to do it!

Well, it looks like the iPloddicus will write the blog and as long as the pictures have been taken with or stored in the iPloddicus, it might be a problem, so, all we got to see is will the spell check works and then up load.

Claws crossed!

Well, that worked but we don't have the 'Post Settings' so, if we upload the blog early or late we can't upload at a specific time, just up load when you've finished!

Now, spell check, that don’t work. you have to go back to the Windows  machine to learn if you have speelt it propper like!

I will be glad when OTL gets back to taking us out 'cos he knows where all the rabbis are and better still, he has a camera with him!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Boring!

Hi Woofers!

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

Ever get one of those days when it all sort of goes 'YUK'? We have had one today.

You see Old two Legs had to go out today and we stayed with The Missus all day. She took us out for our morning stroll, got scared out of her skin by a surprised Green Woodpecker who was trying to catch a snoozy break, until TM walked into the tree he was snoozing in!

Lunchtime we ran in and out of the rain but we did stop and show her where the 'Robin's Pincushion' was located!

She didn't take any interest 'cos she was playing on her  Face Ache Thingy Phone!

Back home it was getting all chilly, I hope it gets better in the week ahead cos I just fancy having a dip in the sea!

We were keeping guard around the house and I will admit, we fell asleep a few times, until someone knocked on the door and both Holly and I started our 'Who's Woofing at Our Door' woof!

It was only the post man who quickly legged it when he heard us!

It was late when OTL returned and we gave him a real 'woofers welcome' and he got licked all over his head!

When we had finished we all had a cuddle and a snooze, until dinner time!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Silly Sunday!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's been fun today, full of silly things. I mean, there we were up at the crack of dawn, mainly 'cos Holly decided that she loved Old Two Legs and needed to give him a good licking behind the ear!

As she woke me up i decided that giving OTL a lick was a good idea, so i jumped up, sat on his pillow and proceeded to lick his bald spot on his head!

That woke him up, so, off we went for an early morning run!

OK, the sun had got up but with a bit of fiddly diddly it looks OK!

We met up with a few of the woofers, seems everyone was up early today!

Just as we were about to drive off home a car pulled into the car park, a new car we hadn't seen before, so, being interested in everything, we stopped and watched.

Then from out of the passenger seat a little Jack Russell appeared.

I say little but bear in mind this new woofer was just ten weeks old!

As OTL says.......'I got Ferrets bigger than him'!

We will keep our eyes open for him in the future!

Back home we were scanning through the photos The Missus took of the ladies up at the village hall who were all doing their Glue & Glitter Slapping exercises and we found this one which looked very silly!

Look how many cards we can stick on our fingers!

I bet that they will all be using rubber gloves next!

OTL came across some new flowers today, well, they could be wild flowers or weeds but they looked so pretty that we decided to put them up on the blog.

Pretty eh?

It was all of a rush as well, F1 Racing at 13:30hr and there we were all sitting on the sofa ready to cheer Hamilton onto first place!

Well, it was an exciting race and Hamilton overtook almost at the last moment!

Lunchtime we took Eric de Ferret with us for a walk and being Sunday there were loads of people and woofers down on the sea front. Eric was showing off to all of them every time they stopped with the question....'Ooooo is that a ferret?'

On the way back we had to stop at the Co-Op for a Lactose Free Milk for the ferrets and OTL left Eric in his harness and attached to the ferret bag hanging over the seat. Eric, somehow, managed to get free from the harness and was scurrying around on the floor!

So, OTL put him back in the harness and headed for home, with the air conditioning on, blowing onto his lap.

It wasn't long before Eric crept onto OTL's lap and fell asleep in the cool air!

That ferret is as crafty as they come!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Lazy Day Today!

Hi Woofers!

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

Today The Missus headed off to the village hall again with all her mates to do some Heavy Duty Glue Slapping and Glitter Crunching!

Now, as far as we are concerned, that's all OK by us cos that means Old Two Legs gets all lazy and prefers to sit and play on the computer or watch some of the saved programs from the TV or today he has been listening to an audio book on the new iPlodicuss!

We had a look through the instruction manuals for the thing but when we all try to read it it looks like Double Dutch with bells on!

First thing this morning it wasn't very cloudy.

Well, it can get better or worse!

We were trotting along when OTL spotted a rose bush with a very strange growth on the branch. OTL reckons that some thing has planted some eggs in the branch and has made the rose grow a sort of cancer or canker, anyway, it looked worth taking a photo just for information's sake!

It could be an insect or even a spider that has done it.

We also met up with a couple of Bozo Woofers that say hello to OTL when ever they see him but one of them has got a funny habit of jumping up, spinning around and landing on her back for a good roll, even if there is nothing to roll in!

We do get to see some strange woofers!

She even does it on the carpet at home!

There was also a new flower, well, one we hadn't seen before and no, we don't know what it is!

Anyone got any ideas?

This afternoon was great, we spent most of the afternoon watching the Qualifying in the F1 Racing and at the same time OTL was listening to his audio book!

So, no gardening and no hair cut and shampoo, result!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

They left us!

Hi Woofers!

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

I do love the summer time, good warm weather and places to snooze in that are normally covered in mud!

Like yesterday it was just super having a bask in the sun, in front of the shed, in the warm rays of the sun.

That was until the ants came out and started to crawl all through our hair!

It was a good job that Old Two Legs gave us a good rub down before we went back in doors and up to his office!

Of course, we couldn't be too sure all the ants had gone but I daresay that The Missus flying around on her jet powered vacuum cleaner might get any of the stragglers!

Still, it was good and sunny and a day just meant for snoozing!

A day for ants!

Today we were up early for our walk, seems OTL couldn't stay asleep 'cos he and TM had been out yesterday doing some shopping and didn't get back until very late, hence the missing blog yesterday!

TM got herself a new iPlod to match OTL's and the pair of them have been playing with them, trying to make them do wot they want do, with only a small success!

Remember, if all else fails 'RTFM'!

Only there were no manuals in the box!

When we finally got out the clouds were low and half promising some rain but lucky enough it stayed away all day.

Mind you, it was a little dramatic!

Now, how about that for a morning vista!

 Miss May, her tail is getting better and the mark is getting smaller every day, so the antibiotic stuff is doing it's job!

We are in to see the vet next Wednesday, Miss May for her tail and Holly and I to get our yearly stab!

You know, ferrets seem to sleep around eighteen hours a day and it is not unusual to find a ferret curled up under the sofa or even on my bed!

Monty having a little rest before going off to sleep for the day!

If the rain keeps off, this weekend we will be re arranging the earth around the pond, the only down side will be if it rains, I might get a shave and shampoo!

Claws crossed!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Strange Sea Vessel!

Hi Woofers!

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

We have been having some fun today. It started off with young Monty de Ferret. You see, these ferrets have all got a 'Thing' about rubber or spongy stuff!

Eric goes bananas over a 'Smoothy' and it's not the icy thing you drink! Miss May goes potty over convalescing powder and Wendy just loves dog food, especially the Brambles Biscuits!

Now they seem to be able to get everywhere they shouldn't and steal everything they fancy!

There was Old Two Legs cleaning cages when he heard a crashing sound, it was Eric throwing the empty 'Pet Disinfectant' off the top of his cage. It seems he wanted to get down to floor level where there was some Lactose Free Milk left in the bowl and he would rather get down by climbing onto OTL's shoulder than sliding down the cage wall!

Hey! Gissa Lift?

We saw a funny looking ship out on the River Medway this morning, it looked like a barge with a couple of Hi-Ab cranes hanging off the ends. Dunno what they were doing but you could bet that if the ferrets saw that they would want it!

Keep and eye open for Ferret Pirates!

The sun couldn't make up it's mind this morning and was making some interesting cloud patterns in the sky.

..........and just above you can almost see the sun!

Lunchtime was better, the sun came out but the wind was still blowing, so, all the insects were hanging onto the branches and grass, trying not to get blown out to sea!

No, I 'aint moving until the wind drops!

In amongst the trees it was better but the only insects were the Hover Flies hovering under the tree branches.

One this we did see was the ring of seats for the Two Legs to sit on, not that we have ever seen any of them sitting on the seats, mind you, it could be because there were no backs to the chairs and they would fall off!

Well, how about sitting on the floor and leaning against the seat? Well, it was just a thought!

 Next week Miss May is off to the vets again to see about her tail and both Holly and I are going to get pushed, pulled and then stabbed! Of course that means OTL will be crying all the way home!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

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

The Rain is Back!

Hello Woofers!

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

Wot a surprise we got today, rain!

It started just as we got out our front door, dark doomy clouds and a sprinkling of the wet stuff!

and the waves had white stuff on the top of them!

Old Two Legs was wondering if he should get the camera out of the car and in the end brought it with him and got a shot of a large container ship coming in off the North Sea!

Can you see the Container Ship?   Large innit?

The sun came out as we went around out walk and just for a couple of minutes it shone down behind one of the trees.

There's the Sun but it won't be out for long!

Lunchtime the rain had gone away for a while and the sun came back again but the wind got up a bit and as it blew straight into OTL's face his hood and jacket blew up like a balloon and he almost took off!

We were glad when we got under the trees cos although it was noisy it wasn't so drafty!

That's better!

 One thing we like seeing as we walk around is the wild Sweet Pea plants. The Missus 'Liberated' some seeds a couple of years ago, stored them in a jug and left them on the window ledge.

They never did sprout!

The seeds are beginning to swell up in the pods, reckon they will be ready for picking come September time!

 Good to Missy Sue back from her rampaging around the country and enjoying a good Internetty Signal from the home Gissmo!

OTL has just got himself one of those EyePlods with a Micro Sim Card so he can get on the Internetty when he is away from home, should be fun setting it up, normally he has to ask The Missus how to do it and the end up shouting at each other about which button to push!

Mind you, this one has to see OTL's finger print before it turns on, now that will be fun!

See you all tomorrow and Good Behaviour Archie Babe or you could end up getting told off!

Luv,

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