Happy New Year...here's some ferret pics!

Where does the time go? I was off from work for about 1 1/2 weeks, but I still had no time to post. It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it's 2006 already. Time certainly does fly...except for time away from fuzzies, that is! I felt like I was away from my ferrets for weeks and weeks, even though it was just 5 days. They were in good hands, but it was so odd to wake up in the morning and not have to feed them or dose Sophie. I kept feeling like I was forgetting something.

I'm concerned about Mojo - he's been getting aggressive again. When I take him in for his Lupron shot on the 15th, I'm going to speak with Dr. Edling about the possibility of a Melatonin implant. Since he can't have surgery, I'll have to see what else we can add to the treatment if the Lupron by itself isn't working well enough. I hope it's just a matter of excess energy though. I've had to separate him from Bonk on two occasions and Sophie on one because they were crying.

Bonk's skin is doing well. The rash is completely gone, but he's still missing a patch of hair. I don't expect that to grow back for a while though. I'm just glad he's not all itchy anymore.

Some pictures taken a day after our homecoming:

This is the same pic as above, just cropped to Cheeba's face. I love how cute he looks there!

The ferret tip of the day is open a savings account before you get your first ferret. Ferrets can develop very serious medical conditions, and sometimes it's hard to tell they're sick until they need immediate medical attention, especially in the case of blockages. It's best to have some cash in case of emergency so you won't have to delay important vet visits.
