The Saturday Report ( Abbr'd)

With only five residents, it makes it a short day, two runs groups.

 

I arrived by myself, Bonnie had to stay home and wait on Air Canada to deliver our luggage. For those who may not have been aware we spent four days in Newfoundland, around the Gros Morne Park area.

Anyway I let out Terrence, Phillip and of course Chickpea, all three bouncing all over the place. Chickpea jumped all over the others, until they could stand it no longer, then they both ignored her.  Terrence went off and proceeded to try opening the closet door. That little man knows how to kick the bar out of the way and slide the door open for the others to enter. They had lots of fun checking everything out. I pulled them out and closed the door, only to have Terrence to open it again. I gave up.  Chickpea, I picked up every time she came near, gave her a kiss then put her down, sometimes I just blew in her ear then put her down. I had the distinct impression she loves this treatment as she kept coming back for more. I have learnt that she loves the attention but for very short periods.  Phillip was also catching on to this and paid me as much attention as did Chickpea.  Terrence was still busy with his closet closing bar.

 

About this time, Bailey, who was getting anxious, turfed all his food out of his bowl and kicking most of it onto the floor. Not the cage floor but the one I cleaned up twice, I am a slow learner. I then pulled him out, along with Bailey and let them run in the garage room.  Went in for the first little while and Bailey bounced himself silly, all over the room, he jumped on Tommy and Tommy jumped on him.  They just love the human inter-reaction, Bailey kept showing me his teeth but never once chomped down.  I had to leave and check on the thumping from the other room, so they played chase through the green tube and the Purolator tunnel. The noise turned out to be Philip climbing cages and finding things he shouldn’t.

At this point I let Burke out. He was chewing the cage bars. And for those who may not be aware, Randy was ferret sitting our boys ( Burke, Higgins, Dew and Fabien) while we gallivanted around Western Newfoundland.  And, Aggie, these boys do have a forever “home” and if you did take them, you would have Bonnie to deal with, she would never appreciated losing her “boys”.  I let Burke say hello to Chickpea. They did the usual butt and neck sniffing then she crawled onto his back for a free ride around the room. He actually was ignoring her, but she will not let anyone ignore her.  Little b…… nice girl.  Then the boys found Burke and they all followed him around, they were a bit of a bother to him, but Burke is great with other ferrets, only he is still recovering from surgery so all the attention was a bit much. I put him back so as to not stress him, and he went back to chewing cage bars.

Tommy and Bailey were getting lonely so I spent more time with them.  Bonnie arrived at this point, guess that meant our luggage was home at last thanks to Air Canada.  So she stayed with T&B while I changed the groups and let our boys out for a short run before we took them home.  

Thanks to all of you who met our boys and gave them extra runs and attention, although I am not surprised, as these boys have a way with humans, they entrance them into showing lots of love and affection.  Thanks again.  To those who missed these enchanters, better luck next time.

 

That’s it folks, short report
