A Wet and Windy day!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, here we are, the sunshine has gone and back comes the rain. We were out first thing this morning and there were drops of rain splashing down on our noses as we roamed around the old golf course. The golf course is only a nine hole, so it's not very big but it houses a family of foxes.

We made it back home before the rain came down and off went OTL to start cleaning the ferret cage. It was later that Holly and I fancied another run around the golf course so we worried Old Two Legs to go out. As soon as we opened the front door we realised that we had made a mistake, it was pouring down!

We got a few steps into the Football field before deciding that like Archie Babe, we don't like wet! It seems that neither does OTL and we all headed for home at a fast trot!

Soggy and damp we got a rub down when we got home and as soon as we had settled down OTL put on some dry clotes and headed off to the town to spend some money!

He purchased some stuff to do with motoring and the caravan, a torque wrench and a tyre pressure gauge to check if the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure.

Sounds all very technical!

When he got back home the rain had stopped, so, off we go again and this time we were off to the Sea Wall for a midday walk!

Just look at those clouds!

One of the bad things about rain is, it washes all the sniffs away! It takes a skilled woofer to find even a whiff of a sniff!

Now, I'm not bragging but it was me that had to show Holly where to find the sniffs today but it was really my superior nose that did it all!

Come on Holly Chops, here's another one here!

Back home again for lunch and a snooze under OTL's desk!

The Missus got an anniversary card from Archie Babes two legs with cute little woofer who's wagging tail is almost too much!

Eric was playing with OTL by jumping up and hanging onto his trouser leg. As they were in the bathroom, OTL put some water into a plastic tray together with three ping pong balls, then, just for fun, OTL picked Eric up and put him in the tray as well!

Now, if you thing it's Archie Babe who hates water haven't seen what happens when a ferret is plonked into water!

Eric jumped up, legs in the air then fell back into the water, he was slipping and sliding all over the place. He crashed out of the shower and headed towards TM's card room, soaking wet on his legs and tummy!

OTL grabbed a towel then grabbed Eric to dry him down but Eric instead turned his head and sunk his teeth into OTL's hand!

Of course Eric let go as soon as he realised what he had done and OTL wrapped him in the towel to dry him off. 

However, OTL's hand was bleeding but we all reckon it was his own fault and he won't do that again!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

A fine day for caravan servicing!

 Hello Woofers!

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

Well, today is the day the caravan man cometh armed with spanners and pots of grease and the instruction manual!

We had an early walk this morning and Eric decided to tag along. We went over the old golf course and Eric was alternating between getting carried by Old Two Legs and chasing Holly and I through the long grass! He was well full of it today and we guess he spent most of the time running and sniffing!

Just after OTL finished the cage cleaning the caravan man arrived and set about servicing all the broken bits that The Missus had mucked up during the last year and a bit!

OTL got involved with some of the technical bits especially as the loo wouldn't flush! In the end it went gurgle, gurgle, slurp and then worked!

Lunchtime we left the man and headed off to the carriers and then we stopped at Grain for a run. I didn't get to go for a swim cos OTL told me to walk next to him and not go running down to the beach!

Mind you, the beach did look inviting!

  Just look at that! I mean, who just wouldn't fancy a dip in there!

So it was that later on, all the servicing done, OTL emptied his purse and paid the man. OTL cried all the way back to the office!

Now, today is a special day 'cos it is OTL and TM's wedding aniversary, you know they have been married for thirty three years!

To celebrate,  we are getting a Chinese Takeaway and going to finish off the last bottle of Bollinger!

Us woofers get our own helping of Plawn Clackers and the dog food man has been and left us with extra helpings of salmon dinners!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

Today it's Bug Hunting Day!

Hello Woofers!

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

It's been all go today. First thing this morning Old Two Legs was up and washing behind his ears, getting dressed and out for our first wander around the field, only, today we went even further over into the old golf course and chased a couple of cats into the bushes!

Old Two Legs started on the caravan and was washing and sploshing all over, starting with the satalite dish. The last trip out the dish wouldn't lock onto to the satelite so when he got home he had to mess about with the controller before it worked. Having done all that, today when he wanted to wash the dish he pressed the 'up button' and waited for the thing to work, only it didn't!

OTL has a job to do before we go away!

When it came to lunchtime Holly and I got all excited and were jumping up and down but OTL couldn't see us cos he was up a ladder while we were in doors!

Today it was The Missus turn to take us out and instead of going off to the Sea Wall in the small car, she took us around the football field! Now that's just not on, I mean, a girl can't have enough time for a poo before we were heading back home!

As we passed OTL, who was washing the front window of the caravan, we asked if he would take us out when he had finished the van, he said yes!

Finally, he had finished and we were off to to Grain, in the rain!

It was bucketing down, great waves of water racing up the road, then suddenly there we were out the other end! 

Once we got to Grain the storm had passed and we were dry!

There is goes heading off into Essex!

We met up with a soppy spaniel who reckons he was bug hunting! Holly thought he was loosing his marbles but he was so enthusiastic and insisted that he had caught a bug on his nose!

 

We couldn't see what he was talking about, I mean, a woofer with a bug on his nose?

 

Come on, can't you see it?

It was then that he got closer to OTL, turned his nose to one side and said.............

See it now?

Holly and I went off looking for bugs to balance on our noses but they had all been chased away by that Rolly Polly Spaniel!

Well, I can't find anything except these ants wot get up your nose!

Back home we got banned to the office while The Missus was making another one of her videos!

It is a shame that Archie Babes TL has still got a tooth ache, I mean, she had the offending tooth pulled didn't she, maybe the dentist left a bit in her jaw and only an xray would find it!

Claws crossed she gets it sorted soon cos there is nothing so horrible as a tooth ache!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

A Mixed up Sunday!

 Hi Woofers!

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

Well, today we had some serious plans to get so much done. First of all, get up early and get the ferret cages cleaned and polished nice and early so we could all go out early at lunchtime.

So, we woke up early then went back to sleep and didn't get up until about three quarters of an hour later than normal!

Miss Wendy came out with us on our morning stroll where we met up with our neighbour  who insisted on a much longer chat than normal which left Holly and I sitting on our tails waiting for Old Two Legs and Wendy to finish gassing!

Back home we tried to catch up but the ferrets had been partying last night and there was mess everywhere!

So, by now we were running very late. Lunchtime we headed off to the Sea Wall with Eric in tow who said he was in need of a carry 'cos he was just too tired to run along the Sea Wall.

Just as we got there, we met up with a couple of Two Legs who had a sheet spread out on the floor, a couple of bottles of lager, a camera on a tripod and a guitar!

Holly and I soon found out that the food had all gone, so we headed off down the coast while Eric decided to have a cuddle with his new found friend!

It wasn't too long before Eric discovered that there were no Chicken Strips or Ferret Nibbles and a cuddle get's a bit boring if there is no chance of a nibble!

It wasn't long before we arrived at the beach and there, sitting on the edge of the Sea Wall was a crab, it was enormous and we reckon that if he puts his mind to it, that crab could have chomped Eric's paw off!

Now we know that OTL is both big and brave but he went up to the crab and with his size eleven boots, he prodded the crab only to find it was dead!

It may have been dead but even so, we stayed well away from those claws!

Back home OTL decided to get everything ready for cleaning the caravan, you know, sponge, caravan cleaner, bucket and pressure hose plus the ladder to get OTL up onto the roof!

Just as we were finishing lunch the F1 Racing started, so OTL said he would watch the racing and afterwards wash the van, that was OK until the rain started, so, we decided to wash the caravan tomorrow, providing we wake up on time!

Organised or wot?

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Down Comes the Rain!

 Hi Woofers,

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

Wot a change from yesterday!

This morning was all muggy and foggy, both ferrets decided to have a snooze instead of coming out for a walk. Not that it worried Holly or I 'cos that means we could have a run around the football field instead of hanging around waiting for ferrets!

Lunchtime it was the same except that the sky looked rather dark and heavy with rain. Old Two Legs looked on the Internetty Thingy and looked at the Rain Radar page which showed a big wet storm heading our way but if we headed over to Grain Sea Front we would bypass the rain!

OTL is good at finding 'Windows' in the weather. So, off we went, through the edge of the storm, through big puddles in the road and then onto dry roads! By the time we got to the car park it was bone dry the rain cloud was heading off towards London!

We got chased by a big leggy Doddle Dog who wanted to play but was scared stiff of OTL. He came bounding up to Holly stopped, stuck her nose in the air and said that if he got any closed she would get OTL to 'Talk To Him'!

See him over there? He eats woofer tails!

That's it, off he ran with his tail between his legs!

We headed on down to the Sea Wall and once again there were only a few Two Legs wandering about, maybe it was the rain clouds that sent them back to their cars!

The two rigs over in Sheerness were still being worked on. Earlier today OTL looked at the Maritime Traffic program and noticed that only one rig was shown to be there but when we arrived there were the two. So, it looks like the GPS had been turned off for maintenance!

                                                       OK, who turned the power off?

We didn't meet up with any other woofers on our walk, maybe they were all scared of the rain!

Heading back home there were puddles all across the roads that were not there when we came through earlier today!

We all fell asleep watching the F1 Qualifying mainly cos the satellite signal got stuck in the clouds!

By the time we all woke up, it had all finished and The Missus threw us out cos she wanted to make another video and didn't want woofers woofing at the neighbours!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

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.
