A most relaxing Sunday!

 Hi Woofers,

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

I do like Sundays, it's a sort of day where you can sit back and do nothing and enjoy it without feeling guilty!

Mind you, if I'm relaxing on any day, I don't feel guilty at all!

First thing this morning Eric was up at the cage door giving it a good rattle and that can only mean that he wants to come out with us!

As it wasn't raining, he enjoyed a run around the old golf course and then across the football field and home. After a couple of hours chasing Wendy around the house he climbed into his bed and didn't wake up until late this afternoon when he got up for a poo and some late lunch!

Lunchtime it was just starting to rain as we walked along the sea front. Holly grumbled that she didn't like the rain and looked all grouchy until the rain stopped a few yards later! 

  I just don't do wet!

 Looking across the River Medway you could see the rain clouds gathering up more rain and getting ready to drop it all on us!

 

 A good reason not to hang about looking for flowers and bugs!

 When we got to the bench I jumped up and started sniffing the air, looking for weekend sniffs like Kebabs and fish and chips but the wind was in the wrong direction and all I could sniff was the diesel engine of the boats passing by!

  You can't sniff diesel, they make your nose twitch!

 Old Two Legs turned me around so he could get a picture but I was so dissapointed that I had missed a Kebab sniff that it looks like I'm showing off!

I'm not showing off, honest!

 OTL then went off looking for bugs to photograph because both Holly and I didn't fancy tarting about and looking like models!

  You try posing while hanging onto the side of a leaf!

 This bug kept on swinging on the leaf as the wind blew and tried to knock him off the leaf!

In the end the bug just spread its wings and headed off deeper into the field!

So that was it really, we watched the F1 Racing which was a little boring, no serious overtaking and almost everyone ended up in the same position that they had started.

So much for street racing!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Eric on the Rampage!

 

Hi Woofers!

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

It's been another wet day today. We were hoping for a little sunshine but on our morning walk around the old golf course it rained so much that Old Two Legs was soaked!

Mind you, Holly and I were a little damp around the edges as well!

Lunchtime it stopped for long enough for us to get a walk in around the sea wall walk.

 Ships were still coming and going

The tide was on the turn and the rocks were poking their heads out of the water. I was thinking of taking a dip but OTL was too close and to be honest, I didn't fancy a splash 'cos it was just too cold!
 

 A Black Headed Gull even declined the offer of a dip, hie was too busy looking for lunch!

 OTL had brought his camera with him and managed to get a shot of me considering a dash into the water!

 

To Splash or Not to Splash, that is the question!

 You know, even Eric looked at the water but decided that it was too cold to splash!

Normally, Eric strikes a pose with his head up and looking like a ferret should but as soon as OTL gets down on one knee, Eric puts his chin down on the sand and runs towards OTL, but today OTL managed to catch Eric doing a Ferret Pose as he decides he will try to climb up the sea wall.

He doesn't, instead he runs along the bottom of the sea wall and up the stairs!

 

 Up the beach, along the wall and then up the stairs to the grassy area beyond the hill!

OTL reckons he would love to take more pictures of Eric but spends too much time looking out for roaming woofers that might fancy a nibble of Eric tail!

Eric loves going through the forest bit of the walk, loads of sniffs and interesting bits in the undergrowth and of course, while he is ferreting around OTL is, again, looking for the stray woofer!

We got back home just in time; the rain returned so no more walkies!

News has got to us that Archie Babe is doing well, even though his butt itches and he tries the old Carpet Rub to alleviate the itching. He is getting told off for doing that but as he says, it is sooooo gooood!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
