Two Booms and It's all over!

 Hi Woofers!

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

Well, I'm not really impressed with the weather man, he was forecasting doom, gloom, thunder and lightening and what did we get? A couple of booms and a flash of lightening we could barely see! Holly was all ready for some serious shaking and shivering and I'm afraid she was getting wound up over nothing really!

Overnight it was just hot and to be honest, we were so tired we went to bed early and didn't wake up until the morning!

Eric came out with us this morning and it was noticeable cooler but still warm.

The best thing we could do was to enjoy the cooler air and go back to bed for a snooze.

Lunchtime we left the ferrets in bed and headed off to the sea wall and for the first time in ages, on a work day, there was no one to be seen!

Look Left!

Not a Two Legs to be seen!

Look Right!

When we got to the beach there was no one there either!

Nope! Nuffin here either Sis!

Do you think everyone has gone on holiday or are they all off to school to collect their 'A' Level results? 

Even on our walk through the woods there were no TL's or woofers and come to think about it, there were no birds either! It was almost a pleasure to see some TL's when we got to the car park, we were begining to think the world had gone and no one had told us about it!

Now yesterday it was 28 degrees but today, looking at the temperature gauge, it was just 22 degrees. Now 22 degrees is OK for us, not too hot and not too cold, in fact it is what you could describe a 'comfortable'!

Well, comfortable as some localised earthquakes go. I mean, we only get earthquakes when Holly Chops gets an attack of the Windy Tums but we are getting used to them now!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Muggy but no sign of rain!

Hello Woofers!

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

My oh my, what a day! I mean, there is the weatherman waving his paws all over the map on the wall saying that there is loads of rain and thunder and lightening and what do we get, hot sun!

You know, driving back from the beach it was up to twenty eight degrees, higher than anywhere else in the UK today!

Miss Wendy came out for the morning walk 'cos it wasn't so hot but lunchtime Eric collapsed onto his bed, the one with the frozen block and spent the afternoon gently snoring his tail off!

Down on the beach Holly was trying to get rid of an itch!

I jus' love a Rock 'n' Roll on the sea shells!

Meanwhile, I was trying to find a nice damp patch in which to have a roll and spread a little mud over my back!

There has got be a squishy bit somewhere!

Old Two Legs was wandering about looking for Common Lizards but all he got was a butterfly!

Well, it's not exactly The Hairy Butt Lizard but it will have to do!

Now, you know how much Holly and I just love to chase rabbits and cats. The only problem is, we haven't see a rabbit for ages and cats are becoming rare as well. So, when OTL does our secret sign for a cat, we just don't bother , thinking he is trying to wind us up.

It wasn't until he showed us the photo that we belived him!

A Cat, just ripe for chasing, and we missed it!

So, that's it for today, hot, muggy and no rain, maybe tomorrow or even rain over night!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Happy Birthday Miss Rosie!😁😁

Hi Woofers!

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

Yep! Another year has gone past and suddenly Miss Rosie is another year older and we have been rattling our brains for a song just for Rosie!

So, all together now and after thirty nine!

1.............37................39!

Happy Birthday Rosie Girl 😁,

Get the whole world in a twirl 👸!

Miss Wendy sends loads of kisses  💝😽

Happy Birthday to you!

I bet Miss Rosie has a great day, especially when she gets her Birthday Cake!

Last night it was really hot and it took some time to find a cool spot where we could go to sleep. Holly ended up in the kitchen and I slept behind the curtains cos you get a smal breeze coming in through the open window!

The ferrets had the frozen packs from the freezer all wrapped up in their cage and spent all night going into bed, then out of bed and on the freezer packs and then back to bed again!

I reckon the ferrets should share those freezer packs with us!

Eric came out first thing while Wendy stayed in bed. Holly had the Grumbly Tum but we reckon that was as a result of the Anti-Distemper injection we had yesterday.

Old Two Legs got the camera out but there was nothing to photograph on the Sea Wall so Wendy said we could take her picture, if she could keep her eyes open!

 Mmmmmm, Happy Birthday Rosie! Now, can I go back to sleep again? Nite Nite!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Chopped, stabbed, poked and pulled!

 Hi Ho Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

What a day we have had, I mean, this morning it was all fun and games, Miss Wendy came out with us for a walk. Eric showed off because he wanted to come out with us as well.

Lunchtime we left Eric to snooze while Holly and I enjoyed the sunshine and of course the shade under the bench.

You know, I could stay out in this shade all day long!

After lunch Old Two Legs had to rush off to the carrier and then call into the farm shop for some bird seed. There were two sacks available, one with aniseed and one without. Now I still don't know what the difference is on that one has aniseed in it and one doesn't. It doesn't seem to do the birds any harm with or without and it costs the same!

Once he had got back there was just enough time for a bite of lunch before we were dressed up in our big heavy harnesses.

It was Holly that remembered that we had an appointment with the vet to get the anti flea and anti tick drops. What OTL hadn't told us was that we were going to get our claws clipped!

I now know why he made us wear our heavy harness!

OTL was hanging onto the harness handle while Holly and I were jumping around like bucking broncos!

I was wrapped up in OTL's arms while the vet grabbed one of my paws and I was then tugging to get my leg back under my tummy!

It was a fight to the finish and while he managed to cut my claws, there were a couple that didn't need cutting 'cos I had bee walking on the concrete on the sea wall and rubbing them down a bit!

After that we got stabbed and the vet wrote out a prescription for the flea and tick drops and it was as OTL stood in front of the till that we noticed that OTL was beginning to have a panic attack!

Mind you, he always has a panic attack at this point!

Now, how did Archie Babes TL got on at the dentist? Did they fill the tooth or decide she didn't need it any more?

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Another Hot Day!

 Hi Woofers!

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

Another very hot day here in the South of England. I always thought we were lucky 'cos when the rest of the UK were getting wind and rain and hail and nasty storms, here we were, basking in sunshine and balmy breezes. The only problem we have is that when it gets warm, we in the South get roasted!

We were looking at the weather forecast and even the cooling thunderstorms are all taking place in the West and Northwest and what do we get?

Roasted!

Not only us but this grass is getting too hot as well!

It was good to get to the bench with some shade to help cool us for a little while. We didn't stay long 'cos Old Two Legs was getting a bit hot himself, even though he had his 'Indiana Jones' hat on!

OK, I'll sit here cos it has the rabbit butt sniff that I like!

We have seen some dragonflies buzzing around but not for some time so it was good to see this one, even if it was a little smaller than normal. OTL reckons it could be a Southern Hawker but he didn't have his book with him that has the picture and description, but, it sure does look like a Hawker!

No, stop a moment, we have found the book and it is a Migrant Hawker!

There you go, all we had to do is to find the book and there you are! Mind you, we are in the right place for migrants, being in the South!

The Wild Sweet Pea is still doing well and we often see Bumblebees zooming in and out of the blooms.

Bet you can't see the Buff Tailed Bumblebee in amongst the flowers?

The ferrets were getting a little too warm today so OTL put a couple of those freezer blocks in their cage wrapped up in a ferret bag and some towelling . They then slept for most of the day on top of the blanket or ferret bag, only waking up to have some food!

Eric just loves the Chicken Strips and as soon as he sees OTL in the office, he rattles the cage door, sticks his nose up to the cage door and licks OTL's finger until he gets a Chicken Strip, of course, Miss Wendy is close behind him, demanding her share!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

An Infrared Day!

 

 Hi Woofers!

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

Well, not so much different from yesterday except that Miss Wendy decided that bed and paws in the air was a better option that rushing around the football field or down on the beach!

Eric was all brave and came out with us this morning for a run around the football field but even he decided a 'Paws Up' option was preferable to a race around the beach!

Just for a change, Old Two Legs decided to take the Infrared camera out for an airing 'cos we haven't taken it out for ages.

The first shot was the famous Two Trees, Bench and Poo Bin, but there were some Two Legs messing about on the bench.

You would think they knew we were coming and move out of the way!

The rigs were still there parked up at the end of the pier. Mind you, the Infrared filter didn't do it any favours! 

Not even worth turning around!

Down on the beach we had a roll in the sea weed and on the sand. It was only OTL threatening us with a wash when we got home that stopped us!

Holly reckons she could get away with a roll before OTL got to her!

After a race around the beach it was good to get under the bench and into the shade, all we need is a gentle breeze just to keep cool.

Yeah, I could stay here for a rest for an hour!

Going through the forest was good, there was loads of shady bits to bring the temperature down. 

If you spent too long here you could end up looking like a zebra! 

Back home we watched the F1 racing which was a good race and Hamilton got second place and managed to keep his tyres from falling apart!

 

The ferrets haven't woken up at all and OTL even opened up the cage to stroke them, just to make sure they were still alive!

 

Which they were and then they both pinched a Chicken Strip and headed back to bed!

 

We hear from the weather man there might be some thunder and lightening next week. OTL hopes it will be at night so he can get the camera out. Holly hopes the nasty stuff should stay in the West Country and leave her alone!

 

See you tomorrow.

 

Luv,

 

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret. 

Claw Clipping!

 Hello Woofers!

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

Well, first of all, hasn't it been hot today! We could hardly move today, I mean, Eric came out first thing this morning and it was getting too hot even then! Old Two Legs noticed that Holly was limping on her left rear paw so after having a feel around, decided Holly might have caught her claw on the path.

Now we come to the problem part. Not only don't we like being washed in the shower or blow dried we also hate having our hair cut!

I sort of curl up in a ball on the table and go sort of floppy while OTL works around me with the shavers. We got two, one battery powered and the other is mains electric powered which is good for all down our backs and neck.

When all that is done the final bit is claw clipping. The most hateful, horrid, nasty thing that has ever been devised by Two Legs!

Normally OTL gets one claw clipped, no tell a lie, he gets one clip at a claw before we tug our paw away and bury our paws under our tummy and refuse to help him complete the operation! Both Holly and I use the concrete path on the sea wall to scrape our claws on the concrete and so file them to a 'Natural' length.

Now, we have an appointment with the vet next Tuesday for our Distemper Jabs and to pick up a prescription for our anti flea stuff. Sneaky OTL has added to the list by telling them they will have to clip our claws!

Naughty, naughty and sneaky Old Two Legs!

Well, we have been super lazy today, snoozing in the office with a gentle breeze blowing in through the bedroom window and out the office window.

We also had the F1 Qualifying 1,2 and 3 which came after lunch and what did OTL do? He fell asleep just after it started and woke up when it had all finished! You can tell he is getting old!

I will admit that after the finish I had wandered off to the office for a snooze!

Eric came out with us in the morning and Wendy at lunchtime. When we got to the beach, Wendy went for a paddle in the rock pools while Holly headed off to the shade and I joined Wendy having a roll in the sea weed!

Wendy didn't walk all the way back and cadged a lift off OTL who was complaining about having to cuddle a wet ferret and how his top had a big wet patch!

Now, what's all this about panic attacks? I mean, OTL gets a panic attack when the vet bill comes in and we can see he is going to need a defibrillator to get him back home!

We have seen kites down this end of the world, just one or two, they are not nesting however, we do have Buzzards who have been nesting and Marsh Harriers who are nesting as well! When we take Eric and Wendy out OTL keeps a watch, just in case they fancy a Ferret sandwich!

Well, not the most exciting day but it has been a gentle day.

 See you all tomorrow!

 Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Too hot for a ferret!

 Hi Woofers.

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

Well, it was warm this morning but Wendy still came out for a stroll around the football field.

When we got back Old Two Legs was all rush and tear to get the cages cleaned and ready for a bit of 'Woofer Cleaning'!

As it was we managed to convince OTL to go out for walkies before a wash and shave!  

The only problem was, it was too hot for Eric, so he stayed in bed and showed off!

We got down to the beach and was surprised to see a Photo Shoot going on. We decided not to visit 'cos they may decide to ask Holly and I to do some posing for them!

Any way, they couldn't afford us anyway!

Down on the beach I found a ball and had a game of 'chase' with OTL where he would kick the ball, I'd chase it, then I would bury it in the sand and do a wee on it!

After that we headed for the bench on top of the hill where Holly and I took shelter in the shade of the bench trying to dodge OTL taking photos!

Well, from these photos you can see that we are a little 'hairy' and could do with a light hair cut!

Mind you, I still look good when I have the 'Shaggy Look'!

We had taken the long way around the forest and parked up in the big car park, the one where all the tourists park, so that means we passed the famous Two Tree Location!

Heading back to the car park we saw just how many tourists had gathered on the beach. There were Mini Two Legs dancing in the mud, a fisherman with his tent to keep out of the sun and the Photo Shoot still messing about with makeup!

We get all sorts down at Grain!

By the way, do you like the frames on the photos? OTL upgraded the photo processing program and the frames were an addition!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Eric on the beach again.

 Hi Woofers!

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

Well, it's been yet another sunny summer day. All this warm weather only makes me miss the Spring Holiday and look forward to the Autumn Holiday, strolling on the beach, woofing at the sea gulls and digging up sand castles!

Providing the weather is warm enough, I will get to have a swim in the river! Holly may even get her paws wet!

Then, if we are lucky, there will be the odd rabbit to chase around the camp site and Old Two Legs will be chasing us!

Until then, we still have the Grain beach!

 Mind you, there seems to be more shells than sand!

Getting up the stairs is always fun for Eric and he does enjoy running along the concrete path 'cos he manages to trim his claws!

Eric reckons it's better than nail clippers or a nail file!

 We were sent a picture of Rosie with a card she had made after following a video The Missus had produced.

We reckon it looks dead smart and as good as the ones TM produces! Only one thing, Wendy is missing seeing Rosie. When they have the Village Hall bash Wendy gets a cuddle from Rosie but since this Covid Thingy we haven't seen anyone and you can't really have a cuddle on the computer!

Aunty Christina sent us an email with the picture of a woofer in a TV Advert that she reckons looks like me!

I mean, have you seen the way that woofer walks? It looks like he has poo'd his pants!

Have a look! Not Daisy!

We managed to get away with the wash and shave, wonder if Archie Babe got his butt squeezed and washed?

See you tomorrow!

 Luv, 

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

Warm and snoozy!

Hi Woofers.

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

Well, it's been another warm and sunny day and nothing much has been going on.

Miss Wendy decided that bed was better than walkies, so, she stayed tucked up in bed while Eric came out with us around the football field and again at lunch time as we investigated the sea weed on the beach.

Once we got back Old Two Legs had to go out again, to get some 'Dog Shampoo'. I didn't like the sound of that. It smacks of washing, drying and being shaved under the tail!

I can see us ending up with bald butts before too long!

Mind you, while he was in there he also got a small pack of rawhide chews and a pack of 100 poo bags!

There is no stopping him when he gets going!

The computer has been going all funny, like we can type what we want to say then look up and find that the letters are a sentence or so behind, very strange.

I think OTL will have to do the old 'Reboot' to see if that clears it.

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
