Saturday F1!

 Hello Woofers!

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

This morning Old Two Legs had an enormous lie-in! You know it wasn't until eight that he finally rolled out of bed!

The Missus was up at her normal 'silly hour', I got up later and had about an hour’s walk around the fields and even gave OTL a lick on his bald head to wake him up but when we came back, he was still asleep!

The ferrets were upset that they had to spend so much time locked up in their cage. When they were finally allowed out, they had a rampage around the house and Eric even came up into OTL's office, until I growled at him and OTL had to pick him up quickly!

I was then banned to the bedroom while OTL cleaned the cage!

Well, at least Eric couldn't get up on the bed 'cos the door was shut!

The F1 program started late morning and OTL and I headed off to the sea side for a walk while the commentators spent an hour or so interviewing each other!

On our way around the sea wall OTL noticed that the blackberries had started to ripen, I can see TM coming with us just to get a fresh blackberry!

The first sign that autumn has arrived!

 I spotted some woofers in the distance but as they were heading away from us, I decided to leave them alone!

 To Woof or not to Woof, that is the question!

Of course, the tide was out, as normal, in fact it looked rather muddy, so it was a good thing we didn't go down onto the beach for a paddle.

 So, we didn't go for a paddle and the wind was blowing. Do you think that the Medway was ever a small stream?

 Heading back to the car the clouds looked like they were ready to let loose the rain! I expect that will come over night or even tomorrow morning!

Windy and wet!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

It's Friday!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.

Being a Friday in this house is good 'cos we get to watch the F1 racing program on the TV!

However, we have a few jobs to get done before settling down to watch the racing.

Just for a change, this morning’s walk with The Missus was a walk I haven't been on before, well, half of it was new. You see, there is a path that runs parallel to the main road that Old Two Legs used to take his dogs for a late-night walk, many, many years ago.

It was full of sniffs and stuff, nothing I recognise nowadays but still full of sniffs! Then we went over towards the Caravan Park near to the Slough Fort which is an old gun emplacement from hundreds of years ago. Interesting but lacking in sniffs.

Then there was a field with a pile of tree trunks that had been sliced up, piled high and covered with earth so it forms a winter resting place or an underground nesting place for weasels and the like.

Eric would love it!

We went out early at lunchtime and took a tennis ball with us so OTL could throw it around the football field. You see he likes to pretend he is doing it for me but to be honest, I'm not a retriever type of woofer, more of a Fox Hunting Speed Freak and soon get fed up with running after the ball!

  OK, I've had enough, find me a rabbit or a fox to play with!

 It wasn't long before OTL picked up the ball and we headed for a far more interesting place, the sea front!

The tide was in but not deep enough for swimming. I had a walk along the sea wall and enjoyed a couple of sniffs and did my bit to keep the poo bins full!

 That's better, and I don't even need my butt wiped!

 In the end I just couldn't resist it, I walked down to the water’s edge and was thinking about a swim but in the end all I got wet was my paws!

 If it wasn't so muddy, I'd go in but today I think I'll just look at it!

 There were a couple of Two Legs walking along the beach carrying a couple of plastic buckets, OTL says that they were more than likely looking for small crabs to use as bait to catch fish. I thought that it was a bit much to ask a fish to swallow a crab with all those legs sticking out and the claws waving about. It's times like this that I miss Holly's explanations, they are more believable than OTL. Holly might have said they were hunting winkles or cockles!

  Looking for crabs?

Back home we watched all the F1 practice before heading out to the field for a walk looking for anything interesting, unfortunately we found nothing other than some coloured stones, rather boring actually!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
