Grey Day!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, we had another squeak free night, no fighting at all, until the morning.

The crafty pair waited until Old Two Legs was conveying us down to the Sea Shore before they started.

It seems that Eric stuck his nose into the Lactose Free Milk bowl and was having a slurp when Miss Wendy lunged at him and sank her teeth into his butt. Eric, being the lad he is decided that actions like that deserved a reaction and he grabbed Wendy by the back of the neck and told her off!

Not that she was bothered 'cos she was screaming and howling as though it was Eric's fault!

Trouble with Wendy is she is a sneaky Miss!

OTL has made up the travelling cage for when we head off north. There are two Cuddle Cups in there on two separate shelves with a ladder in between leading up to the food bowl. Miss Wendy has investigated it and so has Eric, but not at the same time, we will try that later but at the moment it is left open for them to get used to it!

Just to be on the safe side, we will be taking the other travelling cage with us, folded down and under the bed, just in case all hell is let loose!

Missy Sue said they were down in Appledore and OTL says he has been there camping, but he's not sue which site Sue is camped in. The one OTL went to had a pond or small lake where he used to go fishing.

Loads of work for OTL, he told some of his customers he is off on holiday and they have all sent orders he has to manufacture before Friday.

It's all work you know!

I don't know what it's been like your end of the world but here is has been Grey, Cloudy and rather Gloomy. Mind you, with all this Manufacturing we have hardly noticed it!

Maybe tomorrow it will be better.

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Another early morning!

Hi Woofers!

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

Last night we didn't hear a squeak from either of the ferrets, both tucked up in their cuddle cups snoring their tails off!

That was until Old Two Legs got out of the front door and was taking us for a walk.

It seemed that Eric tried to climb in with Miss Wendy and she, being a lady, decided that she didn't want him in bed with her!

She let out a scream and Eric reacted and that's when the fight started!

We got out early enough to see the sun creep up over the horizon. Again, the clouds above the sun were not the best we have seen but it was still colourful!

Mind you, there was some ground mist as well!

If I had long legs I'd be able to see over the mist!

 We hurried around the corner and down to the shore line and managed to get the sun breaking the horizon but the best was just after the whole sun disc cleared the horizon.

Now, how's this for a sunrise?

Lunchtime Old Two Legs took Eric for a run around the football field behind our house 'cos he was getting twitchy and rampaging around the cage!

There was one TL trying to teach the worms to swim but we don't think he was making a good job of it!

...and when I stick this in your tail you start to wriggle, OK?

 We didn't see any more rocks but there were some flowers soaking up the sun.

It's OK in the sunshine but at night it gets chilly!

 OTL has been out with the bathroom scales to check on the amount of gas he has but I think that the last time out we used almost all of it!

I can see OTL will be off to the garage to get two new bottles of gas tomorrow!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, |Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

A Wet Day!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, nothing has changed here, at around three thirty Old Two Legs got the 'Elbow' and he fell out of bed and headed towards the office. Yes, Miss Wendy was doing her 'Midnight Scream'!

We were not sure who started it all but OTL had to give both of them a wash to get the poo & wee off the pair of them!

Then the cage got a quick wipe to get rid of the sniffy stuff!

A cuddle and a slurp of Ferretone settled them both and only then was OTL allowed to go back to bed!

OTL got up late this morning!

By the time we got out the rain had started and we did the quickest W&P run possible, well, who wants to get all wet and grubby especially if you have just got a haircut a couple of days ago!

Back home we were left to snooze under the office desk while OTL headed off to pick up his glasses. He had just had put in a new pair of lenses to bring his eyeballs 'up to spec'!

The Optometrist had tried to persuade OTL to have a new pair of frames as well 'cos the frames he has are nineteen years old!

Now OTL wasn't going to fall for that one, his frames are made of Titanium and over the years have been bent and twisted and curved so that they sit perfectly on his ears without moving.

OTL can turn his head upside down and the glasses stay on his head!

So, why does he need a new frame? Knowing his Optometrist the frames would have cost five hundred pounds and more!

Lunchtime it was still raining and it was a repeat of this mornings run and we got back without doing too much damage to our Shampoo & Set!

Providing the rain goes away tomorrow, OTL will be checking the gas bottles and if needed, getting a fresh supply.

After that, the Ferret Cages will be got from the shed and we will then try to arrange the cages to accept two Cuddle Cups, Drinking Water container and Feeding Bowl in such a way as Wendy and Eric can have a drink and a bit to eat without starting a punch up!

I suppose that OTL will get his camera gear ready as well. He reckons that he may even get a shot of the Milky Way this time 'cos the days are getting shorter and the stars are coming out earlier.

Just imagine it if he got the Aurora Borealis as well!
See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

A Relatively Quiet Night!

Hello Woofers!

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

Now I know you are dying to know what went on last night, ferret wise that is!

Just before a quarter to two last night Old Two Legs got the 'Royal Nudge' from The Missus and the words, 'They're at it again!'

By the time OTL got into the office things had quieten down a bit but Wendy had taken over Eric's bed and Eric was down on the lower hammock!

Investigations showed that there was a pile of poo in Wendy's bed together with a gallon of wee!

It looks like Eric had come back from a wee, tried to climb into Wendy's bed, got thrown out and caused Miss Wendy to show off good and proper!

OTL cleared up the poo, lined the cuddle cup with some kitchen towel, put the ferrets back in their proper beds and went back to bed himself!

That's the way it stayed until morning and both ferrets decided they would stay in bed and let Holly and I go for a walk with OTL.

The first thing we spotted was a Navy Type of ship heading up the Thames, no lights, 'Running Dark'!

HMS Dunno!

 Once we got down to the Sea Wall we saw the first sunrise of the Autumn, well, it is the first proper one we have seen!

You can tell it's getting closer to Autumn when we see a sunrise!

 OTL took several shots and although it's not the best one we've seen, it's not too bad!

As we got closer to the Car Park we spotted another Grain Rock but this one was sitting on the notice board. OTL did his thing and moved it up a level and positioned it so it looks like it was waiting for us!

Anyone taken 'Notice' of me?

Back home the ferrets were on their best behaviour and had a rampage around the house while OTL did his cleaning job!

You can always know when the ferrets are getting tired, they head for a sleeping spot and curl up for a snooze before going back into the cage again!

This morning OTL left us in his office, guarding the house while he washed the caravan all over, getting ready for the holiday in a weeks time.

Next week Holly and I will be getting all our holiday stuff out, you know, swimming cozzy, sun glasses, Factor 500, tennis balls and throwing sticks!

Lunchtime we met up with Bob who just loves OTL 'cos OTL is the only one who will pick up and throw Bob's water ball.

The ball is a plastic thing that is full of water so that when you pick it up you get a squirt of water to cool you down. The only problem is, most Two Legs don't like picking it up as it feels like it is covered with loads of dribble!

Of course, OTL doesn't worry and Bob loves chasing the ball when it's thrown and of course he loves OTL for not being squirmy!

I mean, OTL will wipe his paw on the grass to wipe off the dribble!

Got a soggy one for you OTL!

This afternoon it was all sunshine and clouds but later on next week we reckon we may see the tail end of that hurricane that bounced off the East Coast of America although we don't expect it to be anywhere near as destructive!

Make to most of it 'cos it will be rain coats later this week!

 This afternoon we watched the F1 Racing while The Missus was up the village hall playing with the Glue & Glitter again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Back to Twin Beds!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, to bring you up to date regarding ferret cuddles.

There ain't any, not nohow, at all!

Last night and early this morning there was all manner of screaming and crashing around the cage.

It would seem that Miss Wendy had taken up residence in the only cuddle cup and Eric was banned to the hammock.

After a while, Eric decided he wanted to curl up in the cuddle cup and have a ferret cuddle. Miss Wendy had other ideas, like, she wanted all the cuddle cup to herself and there was no way Eric was getting a paw inside her bed!

That's when the fight started, several times!

This morning Old Two Legs was doing his inspections on the ferrets, you know, checking for blood, lumps missing from body and grubby bums where the 'Fear Fart' had turned into a 'Flying Poo'!

OTL did notice that Miss Wendy was getting 'Sore' from the ragging Eric had given her when she attacked him!

So, Executive Decision was made and two Cuddle Cups were installed into the cage!

We are still going to keep them together and cross our claws that a small miracle happens and they end up cuddling instead of fighting!

OTL did a sneaky on me this morning, after our walk this morning, he showered and washed and dried me and then I got shaved! Mind you I didn't get shaved back to my skin, this time I got the 9mm head on the shaver and I must admit, I don't look too bad!

Looking good OTL, looking good!

Walking around the sea shore and into the trees we sometimes come across stones that have been painted and a message painted on them. Normally OTL picks them up and re positions them in a tree branch or on another step that leads up the hill. Just to let whoever it is who puts them there that OTL had found it.

Instead of being on the ground, this one was half way up the tree, so OTL put it on an adjacent branch!

Back home most of the day was spent washing, sploshing and getting bald, but, we spotted a pair of eyes in the pong, hiding and keeping an eye on what we were doing!

I'm watching you!

 Just as OTL had finished shaving Holly and I he got a phone call to pick The Missus up from the village hall. Tomorrow, providing it's not pouring with rain, OTL is planning to give the caravan a wash, ready for the holiday.

TM has cleaned most of the inside and all repairs have been done to the heating system, just in case it gets chilly while we are away!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

Nothing New!

Hi Woofers!

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

I know you all want to know if there is any improvement on the ferret front and I'm sorry to say things are at the Status Quo point. Screaming, attack and defence.

Last night The Missus heard the screaming and decided that by the time she got up the excitement would have died down, so she let hem get on with it and as suspected, it all went quiet after ten seconds or so!

Miss Wendy came out with us this  morning for a stroll along the sea front and spent some time cuddled up in OTL's arms, Mind you, she got down on the beach and waddled along the sea wall, up the stairs and straight into the long grass, her favourite bit of the walk!

Back home they had a little tussle and a scream or two but over all remained relatively peaceful. Eric got to bed first of all and when Wendy wanted to get in bed, well, that's when the fight started!

Eric spent the morning on the hammock!

Lunchtime he came out with us and enjoyed a roll and a dig on the beach while Holly went off to sniff at something smelly!

Back home OTL tried putting them in together, in the cuddle cup and as soon as there were signs of Wendy's mouth opening to scream, OTL stuck his hand between the pair of them and kept them apart.

It didn't last long 'cos Eric tried to jump over OTL's hand and give Wendy a little nip but OTL kept them apart.

Best of all, both ferrets refrained from mistakenly biting OTL!

Wendy kept possession of the cuddle cup while Eric was banned to the hammock!

Every so often Eric would poke his nose over the top of the cuddle cup and have a sniff, only to be met by a pair of very sharp teeth and a deafening scream from Miss Wendy!

You know we never had this trouble when we introduced her to Freddy de Ferret or Little Monty, still, we won't give up and the battles are not ferocious, just loud and noisy!

OTL says that is normal with the female of the species.

We're going to tell The Missus what he said, that means he will be in trouble again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

OTL's New Idea!

Hello Woofers!

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

We thought we would wake up to some rain but the sky looked like it was going to stay moody all day.

Old Two Legs said that when the Autumn gets going proper like there should be some real colourful sunrises!

Believe it or not, there are two trees here!

Looking out over the water we could see the WWII anti aircraft gun emplacement out in the estuary and the wind powered generators were as plain as could be on the horizon!

It looks very busy out there!

A bit further along the sea wall there were a load of gulls having breakfast but as soon as we arrived they decided to fly off!

They make so much noise when they fly off!

The ferrets stayed at home, mainly cos they were asleep! So, Holly and I had all the beach to ourselves!

Old Two Legs has come up with another idea on how we can get the ferrets together. At the moment they have to option of sleeping in one of two cuddle cups or a couple of hammocks. OTL says that if he took out both cuddle cups and replaced them with one big cuddle cup big enough for them both to sleep in!

Sneaky OTL eh?

So, after cleaning the cage he swapped the beds around and let Eric into the bed first. In marched Wendy and jumped straight into bed, screamed at Eric and kicked him out of bed!

Eric decided to have a snooze in the hammock!

A little later, Eric rushed down to the W&P Place and when he had finished he headed up to the big cuddle cup, slid in and landed on top of Miss Wendy who woke up, looked over her shoulder at Eric, gave him a dirty look and got out of bed!

So, no screaming or punch ups and at the moment they are both asleep, later this evening it will be the testing time.

OTL reckons that when they get tired there may be more of a chance they will forget to fight and instead end up having a snoozy cuddle!

OTL found some Wild Flower Seeds and has decided to sow them in the garden, above the Boggy Bit, however, when he opened up the packets he reckoned there was only half a dozen seeds in the packet!

So, he spread the seeds around, raked them over and got the watering can out and wet the area. So, he reckons that by the time we gets back from our holiday there should be some flowers to greet us!

Now, The Missus wants to put her stamp on the garden and we reckon all the pots will be covered in Glue and Glitter!

OTL says she may even stick some Sweet Poppy Pencils in the pots and call it Art!

See you all tomorrow and cross your claws that the ferrets behave themselves!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Squeaky Chicken to the Rescue!

Hello Woofers!

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

Now, Old Two Legs has been busy and has now got to the stage where he can't do any more to the garden. Not because he can't think of anything else to do, it's just that The Missus wants to put her stamp on the garden.

That normally means there will be stuff like a knitted frog house or palm tree!

Looking from the North West Corner!

This shows the original pond with the new Boggy Bit over the back. We found frogs hiding under the rocks and in the plants as well!

And this shows the Boggy Bit with plant pots!

 The Boggy Bit is on a slant so the water will run down the ditch that is filled with stones, into the pond.

Well, that's the idea anyway!

Eric is a ferret who has a favourite toy and it is a Squeaky Chicken!

If Eric is lost or is hiding somewhere around the house, we get out the Squeaky Chicken, give it a few squeaks and the next thing you see is Eric at your feet looking up at you!

Today, both ferrets were out rampaging around the house and Eric decided that today he would get his favourite cuddle cup reserved for him and keep Wendy out as well.

To do this he got his chicken and propped it up against the cuddle cup and went of for some more 'Rampaging'!

Unfortunately, Miss Wendy doesn't do any form of reservation, with her it's 'Bums on Beds' so she threw the chicken out and fell asleep!

OTL hung the chicken up on the door to make sure Wendy doesn't chew it to bits!

This is no way to treat a chicken! Just wait until Eric gets back!

I must admit, when Eric got back there was a squeak or two but he didn't get the bed back!

Lunchtime the rain had stopped but  the clouds were heavy and looked like they contained rain, so both ferrets decided to stay in bed!

To be honest, they missed a good walk, it was only a bit windy and the sunshine was good!

OTL was doing his thing, cloud gazing and reckoned he could see a ferret in the clouds

Well, it could be a ferret!

Back home the ferrets were both fast asleep and there were no reports of screaming from Miss Wendy.

OTL is always monitoring the actions of the ferrets and he reckons he has seen a 'Softening' of Miss Wendy's attitude towards Eric and he is not chasing her as much, both of which is a good sign.

Well, they have just two weeks to get it all sorted before Scotland. You know, it is a bit like the Brexit Fiasco, both want to be friendly but on their own terms!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

Midnight Squeakers again!

Hello Woofers!

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

Now Missy Sarn, we have not been reporting on the love life of our two ferrets 'cos at the moment, there is no loving going on. However, we do get the occasional squeak from Miss Wendy who still doesn't trust young Eric.

Picture this, there is Eric fast asleep in his cuddle cup and next door is Miss Wendy, paws in the air, snoozing gently in her cuddle cup.

Eric suddenly wakes up, dashes down into the Wee & Poo area and when he finishes wanders back up to bed.

As he passes the cuddle cup where Miss Wendy is snoozing, he sticks his head in to make sure she is alright and maybe wants a cuddle.

Miss Wendy, sensing he is there, lets out a big scream and goes to take a lump out of his nose!

Eric is too quick for her and ducks back and heads back to bed, all he wanted was a cuddle!

So, what we have now is a sort of truce where Wendy is making all the noise any time Eric gets near to her and just occasionally Eric retaliates, holds her down and gives Wendy a nip on the back of the neck, just to let her know he is bigger and stronger than her!

So that is how we stand at the moment, not all out hostilities, just the occasional skirmish!

They have two weeks to patch things up cos that's when we will be heading off to Scotland for our Autumn Holiday and it's a long way from here to there and we don't want to be stopping every few miles just to prise the pair apart if they are having a punch up!

Plus the fact that the caravan cage is a lot smaller that the cage in Old Two Legs office!

There will be two sleeping places, one in a big cuddle cup and the other is on a hammock!

Cross you claws that they get something together before then!

Today OTL has spent in the garden mucking about with the pond and the new Boggy Bit and now he reckons he has finished for now.

There are a few pots waiting for some plants to dip their roots in and the rest has been sorted. I will get some pictures tomorrow to show you. Poor lad is hurting all over and on top of that, he had to go to the dentist for a checkup. Open Wallet and say after me, 'Help yourself'!

We hope Archie Babe gets everything sorted at the vets, that's another one of those Open Wallet and say after me, 'Help yourself'!

Sorry, no pictures today. When OTL takes Eric or Wendy out for a walk with us there is no room for the camera in the bag plus he has to keep an eye open for other woofers who might fancy a bit of ferret for breakfast or lunch!

That would never do!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Another day in the garden!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, today has been a day when the ferrets decided to stay in bed rather than come out for a run, morning or lunchtime!

It makes an interesting change for Old Two Legs to take the camera out both times!

A Morning Shot of the Trees, can you spot the sun?

One of the good things about getting out early is you get a clean run all the way along the sea shore and up to the beach.

Come on Holly Chops, I'll race you to the beach!

 Overlooking the beach is this WWII thing that had something to do with the gun emplacement that used to be here. Strangely enough, we thing is has some sort of preservation order on it but what or why we don't know!

Well, graffiti it may be but legible it isn't!

 Makes you wonder what they teach them at school!

Well, OTL saw this and thought that it looked sort of interesting!

 OTL was looking up at the clouds and said that it looked like a flying ferret!

A Fast Flying Ferret?  Are you sure?

 As if OTL needs to be reminded! Mind you, looking at the scale of the woofer and the pile of poo, OTL reckons if we did anything like that we would be down the vet's straight away!

Honest, it weren't me!

OTL has been working on the garden and pond today. The planned boggy bit is suffering from a little mismatch on the levels so he is re planning what to add to the bit he dug up. Latest is a layer of stones and then stick some flower pots on top and plant some water loving plants in the pots. Well, that is the latest from The Missus but that plan could change as well!

A redesigned Boggy Bit!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
