Another Sunny, lazy day!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, it's been another of those lazy days. It started this morning with our normal run around the field and sniff around the bushes, just to see where the foxes have been. Holly wanted to have a roll in the sniffs but Old Two Legs was watching and made grumbly noises which sort of put her off the idea!

Back home the ferrets had a great time chasing the squeaky rubber balls and Miss Wendy got OTL to put the pinny into her sleeping bed so she can curl up and hide away!

We went out early at lunchtime, mainly because Eric was rattling his cage door demanding to be let out!

There were loads of Two Legs running up and down the sea front and of course, they all wanted to say hello to Eric and totally ignored us woofers!

What was worse, the tide was out! So, I couldn't get in for a bit of 'Deep Paddling'!

Eric had a little run on the beach but decided not to do any digging cos the sand was wet!

You know this is a bit damp on my paws!
 After a while he found parts of the beach that were dry and also warm! So he was off to investigate the rocks and have a snuffle along the sea wall.

Now then, what's behind here?
Once again we were tied up on our lead so that we couldn't return to that big sniff we found the other day! We could only sniff the air as we passed the spot where it lay!

This afternoon has been all warm and sunny, in fact it was so warm that we all fell asleep for an hour or two after lunch!

I do like these warm days, everyone seems to be snoozy, even the cats that run across the garden seem to be slower, mind you, Holly still can't catch them!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

No Sniffs today!

Hi Woofers!

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

Another warm and sunny day and the ferrets, after their morning rampage have decided to stay in bed and snooze the rest of the day away!

At lunchtime we were off down the sea wall again but this time I didn't get a dip in the sea, in fact as soon as I looked down to the sea I got the 'Warning' from Old Two Legs that went something like, 'Don't even think about it'!

We thought we had found something interesting which turned out to be a bag of bones from a Two Legs Bar-b-Cue which were not worth chewing over or even rolling in!


A Load of Bones!
 We got to the Two Trees Bench and Bin and OTL took a picture but from a different angle, well, it makes a change!

And over there is a Kebab Shop!
Now these TL's have got long memories you know, remember yesterday and the sniff rolling session? Well, as we got near and I could just sniff something on the wind, OTL called us to him, connected up out lead and marched us straight past the pile!

That was it, we missed out on another roll in the sniff. Mind you, at least we didn't have to have a soapy shower to get rid of it all!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Happy Birthday Archies Boy!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

OK, now you all know who's birthday it is today? So, we are going to sing our Happy Birthday Song, so, after twenty six, ready............?

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24......25........26............

Happy Birthday Mr Boy
Have you got your birthday toy
Kick it all around the garden
Just don't step in the Poo!

Now what prezzies did he get? Bet he got some chews and then maybe a Raw Hide Chew and a bag of tennis balls so he can play with Archie Babe in the lounge!

The weather has been here and there today, it started off nice and warm with some bright fluffy clouds.

Yep! That's wot we call fluffy!
 Down on the sea front there were not so many Two Legs today, mind you, we pulled into the first car park and it was solid with cars but when we got to the beach we couldn't see any of them, like they had all disappeared into the bushes!

Where have all the TL's gone, long time passing!
Mind you, I didn't mind cos OTL took off my harness when we were at the top of the hill and I stood there looking at the water, then he coughed and I was off like a shot!

Shall I, shall I, maybe I will, Shall I..............................
 Then I was off!

Next stop the water!

Oooh! It cools down all the important bits!
Holly stayed up on the sea wall while I had a super paddle.

Then we headed off back to the car, with a short stop at the bench on top of the hill.

As we were going through the forest, Holly and I met up with this sniff,  I mean, this was a sniff you could die for, a sniff that said 'Roll In Me!'

So we did.

OTL just kept on wandering on ahead not realising we had stopped!

After a little while we caught him up................

Well, we were poo'ed up from nose to tail and all over our backs down to our tails and all the way around our legs, and the poo, it was attracting flies from all over the place!

We stunk!

Back home we were marched straight up to the shower and proceeded to get the soapiest shower we had ever had. There were lumps of poo floating around the shower and we were blasted with the power shower head that can strip paint at sixty feet!

It was horrid!

It was wet and we didn't like it a bit!

Well, it took a while before we were blasted clean and it took four towels to dry us off and we got told to sit in the corner and not say a word.

I mean, they had bacon sarnie for lunch and we didn't get a sniff, not even a tiny bit of bacon, just ..................SIT! AND STAY!

Never mind, maybe Archie Babe's Boy will share his Plawn Clackers with us tonight!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Got Wet Didn't I?

Hello Woofers!

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

What a super day! It has been all sunshine and warm breezes today.

The morning run was just great, Holly managed a poo by the bins and I followed on a couple of feet away!

Old Two Legs was happy, as he says, 'Two Poo's, One Poo Bag and a step away from the bin!

Sorted!

It was just as good at lunchtime and the Two Legs seemed to have gone back to work, there were only a dozen or so on the sea wall.

The wild flowers were all out and blooming all over the place.

Wild Sweet Pea and Cow Parsley!
 What was good was that OTL took my harness off and I was allowed to head off to the sea for a deep paddle and a splash!

Tail up and fight my way through the seaweed!
 We couldn't find any sticks to chase so OTL was throwing stones and cockle shells in but I could see they weren't sticks so I just chased the sea weed instead!

This Seaweed's got a funny twang to it, maybe it's fish wee!
 As you would expect, Holly stayed well away from the water and stood on top of the sea wall laughing at OTL who was still looking for sticks!

There ain't no way I'm coming anywhere near that water!
 By the time I'd finished I was wet almost all over, the only bit that was dry was the top bit of my tail!

That was good, maybe I'll have another got tomorrow!
OTL has been bashing away on the computer again and trying to make it look like he has been hard at work, that was up until the time we caught him with his head resting on the back of the chair snoring his boots off!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Brrrm, Brrrm!

Hi Woofers!

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

We have a problem with Eric.

The Missus, trying to be kind and friendly to Eric, let him have a couple of smoothies to play with.

Well, you know what Eric is like with a smoothie!

He grabbed the smoothie and rushed under the sofa and hid them in the workings!

Old Two Legs has been looking for the smoothies, with no success whatsoever!

He even had a look in TM's card stowage room, under the boxes and drawers and behind the bed that Wendy likes to sleep in!

Mind you, he found six squeaky balls, two tennis balls, a small rubber duck and a big handful of Brambles Biscuits and Wendy who was in the Pinny Box half asleep!

It's been a little dull today, loads of clouds, so OTL invited Eric and Wendy out for a run down on the beach but they stayed tucked up in bed and snoring their tails off!

TM decided to dig up the wild flowers OTL had spread on the patch of soil next to the pond but she not only dig up the grass and dead stuff but there was a couple of strange looking plants that OTL was wondering what they were but he didn't have a chance to find out what they were cos they went into the bin as well!

OTL's hay fever keeps him away from plants during the summer and taking us for a walk can end up with him being a snotty wreak! It's a good job us woofer don't suffer from hay fever, can you imagine it, we wouldn't be able to enjoy our sniffs!

Lunchtime we were down the beach and I was going to have a deep paddle but looking out to sea there was an enormous container ship and it looked like it might bump into our beach!

Left hand down a bit number one!

We came across a young puppy of only thirteen weeks! Of course, it went potty over OTL! I was going to have a word with her but as she was so young we decided that on this occasion we would let her off. Mind you, she said her name is Lacy, a bit of a funny name but you just can't trust these Two Legs to come up with a sensible woofer name!

Next time we meet I'll teach you all about sniffs!

There was a butterfly on the path, it was sitting on the ground with it's wings outstretched and looking all dramatic!

All this mating stuff get's you out of breath!

By the time we got back home the F1 Racing was just getting to the formation lap so we got comfortable on the sofa ready for the off.

It was a good race and in the end it was Lewis who won it!

I'm not sure where the next race is, I'll have to have a look on the F1 Web Site.

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Fast Woofers and F1!

Hi Woofers!

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

What a super day, it has been today. It was super warm first thing this morning and both ferrets decided to stay tucked up in bed!

Holly and I had a trot around the football field while Old Two Legs tried to get us to follow him into the field of wheat behind the big hedge at the back of the field.

In the end he had to follow us and just to go where we wanted a sniff!

Saturday mornings are for clearing up after the week and while OTL was busy Holly and I fell asleep on the bed basking in the warm sunshine that came through the window.

Lunchtime came and OTL found that he had left the camera switched on and the battery was flat! That was it, no photos of Holly and I splashing in the water and chasing all the woofers from off our beach!

Mind you, we met up with Max and Oscar who had escaped into the back garden of one of the houses. They were having a great time running around in the garden but Holly and I stood outside, let's face it, we had got into enough trouble as it was!

Back home it was time to get ourselves sorted out cos the Qualifying for F1. Hamilton broke the track record twice before the finish and if that's what he can do in Qualifying then what will he do in the race?

The ferrets have been resting in their cage and snoozing like wot only ferrets can!

OTL says that if he comes back, then he wants to come back as a ferret!

Mind you, if he came back as a ferret then he  wouldn't be able to have a camera!

See you tomorrow and we have put the battery on charge!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

A Thames Barge.

Hi Woofers!

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

We have had a really lazy day today. It started off with Old Two Legs getting up at seven thirty instead of his normal six fifteen.

Mind you, I didn't mind cos that means I get an extra hour in bed!

When we went out first thing, Wendy decided she wanted to come with us, just for a change. She doesn't often come out cos she is getting on and says that too much running wears her paws out!

Eric was a bit put out but we promised him he could come out at lunchtime and if he was reallly good, we would let him go in for a swim!

Eric is a bit like Holly, neither of them like water!

Lunchtime came and off we all went. As we got to the first rubbish bin we spotted a Thames Barge heading down the Medway, enjoying a trip in the sunshine. It was a good thing OTL had his telephoto lens with him, you camn almost see the crew on deck!

Barge off the Starboard Bow!

It wasn't long before we got to the beach and as normal, Eric just wanted to get up the beach and have a dig in the sand!

Told you, I don't do wet water!

As normal, once he got going he was OK and soon he was diving in and out of the long grass and sniffing at the wild flowers!

Just before we got to the top of the hill we saw this boat thing charging through the water heading towards us. Again, using OTL's telephoto lens we were able to see it was one of thos sea going tugs that shove the ships around or take the pilot out to a ship that needs some help navigating through the shallows.

Holly says they have big powerful engines in those things!

I did a sneaky, while OTL was looking the other way, I headed in for a quick dip! OTL threatened to take me home and put me in the shower again but I managed to dry off in the car before we got home!

Well, the weekend is here so we may get another hour or two in bed, if we are lucky!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Eric goes Walk-a-Bout!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, now we are all here!

This morning, as normal, we got shut in the bedroom while Eric and Wendy went on a rampage around the house. Eric was really full of fun and was bouncing off the furniture and diving into all of The Missuses card making stuff looking for the bag of smoothies that are hidded somewhere in the drawers.

Old Two Legs headed up to have his breakfast and fiddle on the computer and afterwards he starts cleaning out the cage.

Heading down stairs he noticed the kitchen door was wide open!
                                       
                      PANIC!!!!!!!!
               Eric was gone!!!!!!!!!
Eric was gone! A quick search around the house told us he was out in the wide world!

OTL headed out to search the area around the house while TM was searching the garden and around the shed, nothing.

OTL was wandering around squeaking Eric's favourite squeaky chicken, nothing.

Then next door neighbour called out to OTL and there, in her arms, was Eric with a silly grin on his face!

Seems he found a hole in the fence and was looking for some new sniffs and was put out that Oscar and Ozzie were hiding in the kitchen, too scared to come out and play!

The only real problem is, TM can't remember opening the kitchen door!

I think that she will have to stay with us in the bedroom when the ferrets are out rampaging!

After all that panicking our lunchtime walk was rather boring, I mean, other than a few Two Legs turning blue in the wind, there was only an old crow ferreting about in the grass!

What do you mean Ferreting?
Oh yes, then there was Holly and OTL did a sneaky click with his camera and managed to get a shot and she has here eyes open!

Gottcha!
See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

A day for getting washed, sploshed and soapy wet!

Hello Woofers!

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

What a day it's been today.

After a very long time, the lady wot cuts The Missuses hair turned up today and now and instead of looking like a New Age Hippy, she has got a hair cut that makes her look a lot younger!

Well, younger than the seven hundred years like wot she is!

Little did we know that Old Two Legs had planned to give Holly and I a 'Cross Back and Sides' as well!

I got soap up my nose and sneezed my tail off, Holly got water in her ears which made her shake all over and cover OTL in soap and water!

Mind you, he deserved every drop!

We spotted a Doodle Dog on our walk today who was a little shy, we all had a butt sniff but he wouldn't say hello to OTL, do you think he knew something about us heading towards a bucket of soapy water?


I see wet water heading your way!

Holly and I had a rest at the bench and discussed what could happen when we got home, a wash wasn't on the list!


Well, maybe we could all get a super new chew?

All the trees are thick with leaves and as we head down the path to the car, OTL said that the trees made a tunnel or frame.

To be honest, I couldn't see what he was talking about, I was too busy investigating a series of new sniffs!

Tunnel? Wot Tunnel?

We did see a new plant that had bloomed in the forest and I will admit, it looked very interesting. I've no idea waht it's called and Holly's suggestion that it's called 'Weed' didn't help!

OK, what's it called?
We did see a notice screwed to the post as we got into the car park. Holly said it was similar to the one we saw the other week and anyway, who has a foot that big?

Some of them can't read, not judging by the amount of rubbish they leave on the beach!

Now, here it is, a shot of Holly and I, all washed and shaved, it was hell but we survived!

I don't care, I've just got to have a roll in something smelly!

I don't mind the sniff of the shampoo but tomorrow we will have those drops put on our shoulders and to be honest, they sniff terrible and make my hair stand up on end!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Hollly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Good News Day!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, after the warm sunny day yesterday, what do we get today?

Rain!

Eric was doing his cage rattling trick this morning, so, out he comes to get his harness but today The Missus gave him a cuddle while Holly and I put our Harnesses on.

The rain had stopped but the grass was soaking wet and it took a little while before Eric got used to dragging his tummy over the grass. He was soaked from tail tip all the way up to his nose!

He got to running around and digging at the grass tufts, sniffing the sniffs and chasing Holly Chops when ever she stopped for a wee!

Old Two Legs had to telephone the Inland Revenue to discuss their latest communication which showed he was in credit for a large amount but they still wanted more!

in the end and after a thirty minute discussion they agreed that he was in fact in credit and need not pay any more until next July!

Result!

It was lunchtime before we knew it and time for another run on the beach but without Eric who was snoring his tail off. Miss Wendy was fast asleep and snoring just as loudly and Eric!

It was a bit dismal and OTL didn't even take any photos!

When we got back home, next door neighbour was unloading their car, so, OTL walked over and asked how Bozo was doing. Actually, his name is Ozzie but we all prefer Bozo!

Any way, he was taken to the vet who diagnosed a lung infection and was given some anti biotic for that then added some anti inflammatory stuff to help with his aching bones!

Other than that, he needs plenty of rest and light chicken meals!

So, that was all good news, one Ozzie Bozo is getting better and spending time snozing and eating, just wot can be better!!

As a surprise, we also got a big bowl of chicken and once that was gone we got a super chew as a treat!

I took my treat, jumped up on OTL's lap and spent a good hour reducing the chew down to just a small lump, of which I tucked the last bit down the side of the chair for later!

So, that's my day today, how did yours go?

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
