You just can't trust a Ferret!

Hi Woofers!

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

Another fine and sunny day here here in North Kent, Wendy came out with us first thing and had a great time tearing across the football field while Holly and I went into 'sniff mode'!

Old Two Legs has been busy on the computer again, dead boring especially when you want to go out and have a rampage around the garden!

You know, it was so exciting that I could hardly contain myself!

Exciting or Wot!

 Eric got himself in trouble, again.

He loves ferreting around in the office and of course, if there is a sniff to sniff, he'll be there sniffing like mad

Now I wonder what's in this thing?

 Using the gap in the bin lid I can sniff something very interesting!

It sniffs like Ferret Munchies!

Then he tries the lid, just to see what would happen if he pokes it with his paw!

Boom! Boom! Boom goes the lid!

 Well, you know what happens when you keep pounding on the lid with your paw?

Summat's got to give!

Then in he goes sniffing all the ferret sniffs!

That's our Eric, any sign of a sniff and he's there!

So far today he has got into that bin five times, so, if ever we can't find him, the bin is the first place to look!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

OTL's working again!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it's been a right proper mix up of a day today.

Yesterday Old Two Legs was loading up the back of the big car with tools and bits of stuff. Then he shut it all up and locked the doors! We thought it was a bit of a late Spring Clean Up in his tool box. Well, that was until he shut us in the bedroom after our morning walk, let the ferrets out to rampage and then he was off and away into the distance.

Now, you know how much Holly and I want to be close to OTL when he is working at home and how much we miss him when he goes away, well, it's even worse when he sneaks off like wot he did this morning. I will admit, I was snivelling all the time he was out and it didn't help to have Holly next to me whining as well!

We got taken out at lunchtime by The Missus but it wasn't the same and you know what? We didn't even bother to hunt out the sniff!

Mid afternoon Holly and I were wondering just where he had gone when this big car pulled up onto the drive.

He's Back!!!!!!!

Well, both Holly and I went potty! We were running up and down the stairs, across the backs of the sofa and armchairs, up the stairs again, around the bed then run around waking the ferrets up!

We thought that TM would have been pleased to see him but she was on the Internetty Thingy with her mates, making cards!

Mind you, she did him a late lunch, well, a ham roll and a pack of Rennies cos the rolls were still warm!

Poor OTL, all that hard work and all he gets is indigestion!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Maybe TL should see a vet?

Hi Woofers!

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

Archie Babes Two Legs has got a tooth ache and from wot I've heard, she can't get into the dentist until half way through August! Now, that's just not right! I mean, you can get into the TL's hospital on an emergence basis and get an extraction done, nothing else just pull it out. I suppose that if you are in pain then that's the way to go.

Now.

If you were a woofer, you could phone up the vet and get an appointment the same day and get booked in for some knockout drops and the tooth pulled on the day or next day. Mind you you need to have deep pockets, those vets don't come cheap but it would be a novel thing to ask the vet to pull your tooth!

The only thing is, the vet might want you to have some worming tablets as well!

Talking of that, Old Two Legs has got to have some laser treatment on his eye. He had some work done on his other eye a couple of years ago. It took a whole year to get an appointment with the hospital and when he arrived, the whole process took about fifteen minutes! Makes you wonder why there is such a long queue!

This time he says he will have to pay to get it done but the eye clinic is not doing any laser treatment because of the Covid thingy and he has been told to call back mid September, just after our holiday!

Seems money can't buy you everything!

This morning Miss Wendy came out with us for a walk and she chased Holly back to the Poo Bin by the garages!

Eric was a bit put out but come lunchtime he was up and rattling the cage door demanding a walk!

As normal, he decided to have a cuddle in OTL's arms until we got to the beach, then he was down and ferreting all over the beach and I got to have a good roll in the sea weed!

Is there a Woofer up there?

Eric had fun digging in the sand and then headed off to the steps up to the path that leads to the hill top.

Any Woofers here?

He always stops at the top of the stairs to check if there was any woofers on the path, then, if clear, off he would go chasing Holly all the way back to the car!

OK Holly, here I come!

We got tied up to the leads again as soon as we got near the sniff spot. Just how long will it take before he forgets about the sniff?

We were sitting down to lunch when The Missus squeaks out that there is a dead bird in the garden. OK, we'll put it in the rubbish bin after lunch.

Then she says, 'it's moving but I think it's terminal'!

OK, we'll put it in the rubbish bin after lunch.

Then she goes out to see it and says, 'it's alive but it only got one leg and it's head is on the ground.

OK, we'll put it out of it's misery and put it in the rubbish bin after lunch.

So, after lunch OTL gets three sheets of kitchen towel and heads off to the shed to get his hand axe to send baby sparrow to the Rainbow Bridge.

Only thing is, OTL can't see any blood or damage to the bird and when he picks it up, the bird squeaks and waves both legs at OTL. That means OTL must put the bird back on the ground and see if mummy comes down to see what's going on with junior.

Holly is all for going out and chewing the tail off the sparrow but TM insists that Holly is NOT going out in the garden.

About an hour and a half later we look out to find that the sparrow had gone! Maybe it flew off or has gone into the undergrowth or mummy has come down to lead him off to a place of safety!

You know, it's all go in our garden!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Seriously Lazy Sunday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret back again. I just love a Sunday, I mean, like you get up a little later than normal, then mooch around fiddling with stuff and then after lunch have a snooze that lasts all the way until tea time when you sort of relax until it's time to go to bed and it's only then you wonder just what happened to another Sunday!

In our garden we have a fence panel that is trying to escape. It is one that Old Two Legs replaced a couple of years ago but because of the dry, hot, weather we had last year and this years hot dry weather, it's sort of falling apart and it seems that the local fence suppliers have all run out of stock. So OTL keeps standing it up and the wind catches the panel and it tries to fly but instead it falls over and that means OTL picks it up again but every time he touches it, bits keep falling off it!

Lunchtime walk was most pleasant, sunshine and Two Legs all over the place, there was almost nowhere to have a wee!

The famous, Tree, Bench, Mini TL, TL, Poo Bin, Woofer, TL and Tree!

 We didn't do too much running around, it was just too warm for that and the tide was out, so no chance of a Deep Paddle!

Any more TL's and it will be a football match!

 One of the good things about the Sunday Walk is that we can stop half way around and relax in the shade of the bench!

No, You wake me up when it's time to move, I did it last time!

 Heading back to the car Holly and I noticed that although there were loads of TL's on the sea wall or on the beach, when we came to the forest, there was no one to be seen!

There were loads of Dragonflies swarming at the forest edge, first time we had seen them this year.

Just above the trees the Dragonflies were ducking and diving in some sort of mating dance.

 Back home OTL put a DVD on, skipped through the adverts, started to watch the fim and fell asleep, only to wake up as the final credits were scrolling through.

As we said, Sunday is a Seriously Lazy Day!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Soggy Saturday!

Hi Woofers!

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

You can tell it's the weekend, it's raining! A strange phenomena in this part of the world. It sometimes happens at second holiday times. You know, leave home and it's baking hot, get half way to the holiday and it's all floods and snow drifts!

Well, today there were no snowdrifts but there was rain. It was funny seeing The Missus running in and out of the garden with the clothes basket, putting the washing out then rushing to take it back in again!

In the end she gave up and went off to her workspace and recorded a couple of video's!

Now, something I forgot yesterday.

TM has just had her hair cut, or 'styled' as she calls it, to anyone else it's just a hair cut!

Anyway, to celebrate she decided to put on some ping wax stuff on her hair to pretty it up a bit.

Now that was OK but she didn't seem to get the joke when Holly said she looked like a Swan Vesta match!

Holly had to hide for most of the day!

Back to today. Both ferrets seem to have been worn out from yesterdays rampaging around the fields and down on the sea front 'cos today they stayed tucked up in bed all day!

So it was just Holly and I on our own today, plus of course, Old Two Legs. Lunchtime we saw that the Rig over in the Sheerness Docks had the legs painted on the top three sections. So it looks like it won't be long before it heads back out to sea to drill some more test holes in the sea bed.

Moving next week?

We managed to get out for a walk in between showers and OTL got all crafty and managed a photo of Holly who was hiding under the bench!

That was sneaky!

I was sitting on top of the bench, trying to find a spot where the rain hadn't formed into puddles, when out comes this camera and 'Click'!

Here's me, looking all moody!

As we got closer to the forest, on goes our lead and we were 'Monitored' until we got onto the main path, away from the poo sniff!

Do you think he will ever trust us again?

Half way down the path there is a young wisteria plant who's flowers have nearly all gone and the few flowers that are left we sometimes get a butterfly feeding on the nectar.

...and it was shot using a 35mm lens!

This afternoon OTL was hunting for a bit of equipment in the garden, amongst the rubbish that is earmarked for the rubbish time, when it opens again, and managed to disturb three flogs who darted across the path and jumped into the pond!

Over the other side of the garden TM says she has disturbed loads of small flogs who didn't make it to the pond and instead dived through the fence into next doors garden!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Another warm day!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

This morning we were up early, don't know why, there's no reason for it but a whole half an hour earlier than normal!

That means Old Two Legs was ready for taking us out earlier and for whatever reason, Miss Wendy was up early and doing an 'Eric'!

That is, rattling the cage door to come out!

Off we all went, or rather us and Wendy cos Eric was still fast asleep!

Miss Wendy loves wandering through the grass and sniffing the sniffs around the goal post!

We saw one of the locals and while OTL was having a chat Holly and I went off sniffing. It was then that we saw Barney and his three spaniel woofers coming in off the fields.

Now it was Barney who got OTL into keeping ferrets cos he allowed a ferret to escape and it found it's way into our garden back in December 2012!

That was Snowflake!

.................and I say I saw that sniff first!

One thing with Snowflake, she could hold her own and wasn't afraid of woofers!

Barney still keeps ferrets but is down to two at the moment, just like OTL!

It was lunchtime that Eric finally woke up and decided he wanted to go out walking with us and soon we were down on the sea wall. Of course, being sunny and a Friday there were loads of Two Legs running around plus Mini Two Legs who all wanted to stroke Eric and ask loads of questions.

Holly and I get right bored when this happens cos no one takes any notice of us sitting there on the sea wall looking cute!

OK, look at me, I'm 'Super Cute'!

Of course, when Eric starts playing 'Cute' they all whip out their phones and start taking pictures of him!

.....and would you like to stroke my shoulders?

Once we got over the hill we started to mimic him, which made him show off and he tried to chase me and nip my legs but I was just too quick for him and trotted off before he got close!

.....I can see you with my third eye!

Once again we were tied to our leads when we got close to that sniff, one thing with OTL, he's got a long memory!

Mind you, so has an Ellyphunt!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

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.
