Getting ready for Winter.

Yo! Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

Now we don't think that Mrs Sue was playing the game by reading out the Christmas Shopping List before Christmas!

We were trying to keep it a surprise for The Missus!

Now, we wouldn't think of letting Old Two Legs know that he has a new pair of gardening gloves for Christmas!

It wouldn't be fair!

OTL decided to keep the washing machine on order 'cos the old machine that we have had for in excess of ten years is making a noise like a jet engine on full throttle!

We are taking bets on it lasting until Sunday when OTL has to dismantle it and put it outside for the delivery men to take away.

Now that Winter is almost upon us, the ferrets are all getting their Winter Coats. Miss May looks like a big ball of squishy fur! Freddy de Ferret has just got fatter and his fur has got thicker. Wendy seems not to have changed yet, mind you, she has always been a bit 'Puddneney' !

Eric de Ferret has had the biggest change. He has put on a lot of weight and his tail is the most glorious black and thick with hair. His face has gone from a 'Dark Polecat' look up to almost a Champagne Ferret look!

Of course, we had Holly singing 'Champagne Charlie Is My Name' just to wind Eric up!


If it spreads any further I'll look like Miss May!
Nowadays, when ever we see Eric he has his nose inside the feeding bowl. The Ferret Hobs always get fatter over Winter, getting ready for the mating season when the fight for control over breeding rights! Mind you, as all of the ferrets have been 'Done' there is no breeding, just getting fatter!

Bit like OTL really!

Food just seems to taste better when the weather is colder!
 Holly says that Eric could carry on and we could end up with a white ferret, just like Snowflake!

Only problem is, he doesn't have red eyes!

Do I look good or wot!
 It seems to be getting colder all the time, you can tell Winter is coming, in fact, according to Holly Chops who knows all this stuff, Winter officially starts on December 1st, so watch out, on the first it could snow and we may even get icebergs in our pond!

Yesterday we got a big bowl of chicken but today it is back to Doggy Scoff, you know a woofer could stave if he had to survive on Doggy Scoff!

By the way, we haven't got the camera back yet, OTL has used the big camera indoors.

OTL has been looking at some Christmas Clothes but can't make up his mind on what to wear for the Christmas Card, so it looks like it will be us Woofers again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.

  1. Yo little maties. Tsk Mrs Sue, fancy giving the game away, let's hope Mrs TM doesn't spot the list of things she's getting for xmas or OTL will be knocking on your door for a sub. Well I had the grumblies last night and had to get up a few times to go outside, my mum wasn't best pleased cos she was really tired. She gave me a dose of the bung up stuff and it helped, I had Barbara from next door come in a few times this morning to see that I was alright and I conned her into taking me for a walk, but, she remembered that my mum always makes me wear my muzzle so she put it on me, tsk, I never get away with anything, my mum reckons it was cos I was chewing cardboard and licking the carpet trying to find the flying gammons. Anyways, my mum is off to the vets (on her own) tomorrow to get me another tube of bung up stuff .......... tsk, I'm not even getting a visit for cuddles and sympathy, I can see I'm going to have to change my tactics here. Eric is looking very handsome, do you know, my mum has got a coat and it looks just like Eric, so if she gets a hole in it, I'll suggest she borrows Eric to fill the hole up. Food does taste better when the weather is cold and I reckon you need more of it to keep you warm but my mum has cut my rations today because of my grumbly tum. Don't let Mrs TM hear Holly calling Eric champagne Charlie or she'll be wanting to see if he tastes like champagne. Holly is very clever to know all about the weather and stuff, all I know is that it's cold and very damp here and I don't like it. Paws crossed that everyone poses nicely for OTL so we can have a super picture of you all again. It's the highlight of my year and I do love my pin up girls. Right Mrs Sue, don't let on that you know wot Santa Paws is bringing OTL for xmas, it's a secret. Have a lovely evening all and hope you get some decent muggings after all that doggie scoff. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little (sore butt) Arch and Mr Nipper xxxxxxxxxx

  2. Taliking about Christmas clothes we saw at Faversham Quay a two person jumper, it had two sleeves very wide shoulders and a bigger body to house the two neck holes, it didn't have a price (nothing was priced) so I dare not ask, very cosy and I did think how wonderful for TM and OTL in the Annual Christmas Card. Lovely pictures today of all the fluffy, furry little ones, real tear jerkers. Hope chicken is back on tomorrow's menu as you need a bit of warm in your poor little tummies. Poor Archie in trouble again, get well soon little man and behave. Now I would not dream of giving away what OTL is getting, would I spill his excitement! B&Q Wednesday tomorrow so time to buy numbers 4, 7 and 8 on the list. xxxxxx
