Another Soggy Sunday!

 Hi Woofers!

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

It's been a real Soggy Day today, our first walk this morning was terrible, Holly and I had our rain coats on but still managed to get soaked all over our head and tail, even though the middle bit was dry, on top, but our paws and tummies were soaking.

Mind you, Old Two Legs was soaked through as well even though he had his waterproofs on!

Being it was Sunday, it has been a relaxing day, Holly and I managed to get the bed and blanket while OTL cleaned the cages. Eric is still not very well; he is off his food and his poo hasn't improved. He came out of the cage, went down stairs and crawled into the cardboard box and went to sleep. then later he went up to Wendy's box and fell asleep next to Wendy, which is just not normal for Eric. OTL says that if there is no improvement tomorrow morning then it's off to the vet.

Lunchtime the rain was reduced to a dribble and we headed off to the coast but the wind was blowing off shore so there were no white horses on the waves and the trees had still to start shedding their leaves and make a spectacular show of colour.

At least the berries had got some colour to them even though the leaves were still green'ish!

Out of the rain and wind the wooden steps down were wet and slippery, OTL nearly slipped down! Mind you, his rubbber paw covers, he calls them Wellies, are not the best thing to wear on slippery stairs!

It's at times like this that paws with claws are better than wellies!

Those rubber paws would be best in this soggy bit!

Well, it's started to colour up but I reckon another couple of weeks yet before it really goes boom!

Monday tomorrow and back to work, or in our case, down to the vet with Eric. Unless of course his tum  is all cleared up.

He came out of the cage this evening for a cuddle with OTL and didn't even bother with trying to mug some Ferretone, which is most unusual!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Poorly!

Didn't it Rain!

Hello Woofers!

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

It's been one of those 'Yuk' days. Old Two Legs was awake early this morning, possibly because The Missus was up early and needed all the lights in the house turned on at the same time plus her morning exercise of running up and down the stairs to get rid of a few calories!

OTL took us over the old golf course and we all got very wet!

Back home it was the cleaning of the ferret cage that had OTL concerned. You see, with ferrets, when the have an upset tummy they do a poo that is not only green but rather smelly.

Miss Snowflake got infected at a ferret show and needed injections and looking after cos the did what are called 'Greenies' and once the vet got a whiff of the Greenies he opened all the windows in the surgery!

Well, anyway, Eric has done some 'Dark Greenies' which were a bit pongy if you shoved yor nose too close!

OTL has decided that Eric is on 'Strict Food' with no treets like Ferret Milk, Brambles Biscuits or Chicken strips.

On the other paw, Wendy can have what she wants 'cos she is cleaner than Donald!

  Me, staying away from the Greenies!

 Well, whenever we went out it was raining and even though OTL put on his Mountain Climbing Gor-Tex Over Trousers, His big waterproof coat and 'Old Geezer' hat and wellies, he still got wet!

 

 One of the nice things was to see the leaves startng to turn and we are getting the colours of Autumn starting to come through.

 

 Just before we sat down to write this blog, we all had to inspect the ferret cage and so far all poo looks 'healthy'. That is, no Greenies and no serious sniffs in the office!

Both ferrets are cuddled up together and snoring their tails off!

See you tomorrow and claws crossed that the rain has stopped!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Us again!

 Hello Woofers!

Here we are back again. Sorry we have missed a few reports but we have been looking after Old Two Legs who hasn't been his normal self, but now he is back and firing on all cylinders we can get the computer out again!

Well, where were we, Oh yes, Scotland. One of the things we never understood was why The Missus takes so much crafting stuff. I mean, there she is, messing about in the awning sloshing ink and glitter all over the place, then chatting to the other campers and telling them just how talented she is!

I mean, all that means there isn't enough time in the day to come swimming with us!

   Tell Your Fortune Dearie?

 Talk about the swimming and the beach, well it wasn't as crowded this year, I mean, we could see from Carradale to Arun and didn't spot anything on two or four legs!

 

 OTL sat up a couple of nights to see if he could get a good shot of the Milky Way but to be honest, he had left the Fish Eye Lens at home so he missed out on a big wide panoramic vista!

  Next time he will bring the correct lens!

 It was great fun having loads of walks on the beach 'cos I could go in swiming every time the tide was in. Of course there was the stream which always had water in it so OTL could throw sticks in and then in I would go making as much of a splash as possible!

 

 It get's deeper in the middle!

 Of course, Holly didn't want to get her paws wet so she kept pinching my stick whenever I got  back to shore!

 

 Mine, Mine,Mine, Mine,Mine, Mine,Mine, Mine,Mine, Mine,Mine, Mine,Mine, Mine,Mine!

 There is one thing about our holiday, TM and OTL always seem in a happy jolly mood!

The ferrets got walks along the sea shore and up at the high tide mark where there was plenty of grass to ferret around in and holes to sniff out. Eric said that he chased several monsters out from those holes but we thing he was telling porkies!

Eric describing just how big the monsters were and how there were so big they wouln't fit in the cage!

One of the problems with Eric is that he always gets into trouble without meaning to, I mean, all he had to do was walk along the back of the chair but he still managed to pull the wires out of the socket!

 

 One of the dramatic things about Scotland is the weather. The saying is, 'If you don't like the weather, just leave it for half an hour and it will change' and to prove it, this happened over a period of twenty minutes!

 

 First it came over a bit dark with some clouds galloping after the sunshine, then suddenly.......

 

 Believe it or not, there is a rain shower behind that Rainbow and as quick as a flash the sky lit up!

  POW!

 Then as soon as it appeared, it disappeared and we were all back to normal again!

Leaving TM in the awning sloshing the ink about, OTL took us out for a trip in the car up the coast a bit. We had fun climbing over the rocks and splashing through the streams the to be honest were just a little deeper than puddles!

 

 Driving slowly down a single track road we spotted a pheasant in the field to the side of us, Holly reckons we should chase it 'cos pheasant tastes good when it's plucked and stuffed!

 

 OTL said that there was no way Holly would be allowed out to do such a thing and anyway we could see Mrs Pheasant sitting on the wall giving us the old 'Hairy Eyeball'!

Fancy getting Plucked & Stuffed do you?

I must admit, that Mrs Pheasant looked mean enough to sort Holly out! We headed back to the campsite and we all enjoyed an hour or so sitting on the beach watching the tide come in.

Those boats were here last year!

One of the things about our holidays is that OTL doesn't want the ferrets and us woofers charging about the caravan when he is in the middle of cleaning the cages, so, just to keep him happy Holly and I have to sit on the bed until the cleaning is done!

I spy a ferret!

Mind you, when it is all done and the ferrets are put back in the cage, Holly and I get a present of a chew and boy do we both love a chew!

Just watch this!

Now, all this holiday stuff and OTL not feeling well we missed out on wishing Archie Babes TL a Happy Birthday, so, better late than never we present this ditty for her delectation!

On the count of nine...........One.........6............and............... NINE!

Happy Birthday Archie's Mum

Does your car go Brumm, Brumm

Birthday Cake makes your Tum, Tum

Blow rasperries out your Bum, Bum! 

and not even a mention of Poo!

I'm going to have a lay down now cos my brain hurts!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!
