Sunday 20th July

This time we did the Sunday shift. There is a new boy “Seth”.

On arrival, Phillip was up and so was Gadget so we woke up Ronnie and the three came out. As there was only three groups we decided not to double up our runs as we usually do and just enjoy the ferrets. With the three boys out, and exploring, I decided to see if the new boy Seth could work with this group, so out came Seth, under the supervision of both Bonnie and I. He bounced all over everyone else. He did not seem so interested in butt sniffing as to scruffing the boys. Not biting their ruffs but scruffing them. Not hard holding. A good shrug but the scruffee and poor little Seth would fall of. The boys on the other hand spent the first ten minutes trying, mostly in vain to sniff out this new comer. Seth was bouncing too fast for the boys. It made for a very interesting half hour. None of the boys got aggressive with Seth although he did after a while start pushing Phillip about a bit more. Still no real concern. We did put him away fro awhile as he was getting a bit over enthusiastic with Phillip, not what you would call nasty. Just too much energy.

We then had Kiwi out. She is still adorable. She played with me for a half hour then decided to try for a nap in the ball box and when I put my hand in she enjoyed playing with my fingers. She nips. She then went into the padded cube where there was lots of paper and curled up. I put my hand in around her, she sniffed it and then snuggled in closer and took a few winks.
Kiwi has a beautiful new tail and has started to grow hair on her back. Let’s hope she can make it a full coat.

At about this time we had visitors who were looking for adoptees and were mightily impressed with Ronnie, Gadget and Phillip, although it was the pictures of little Kiwi that drew them in. They have adopted from FAS before and are now trying to make up there minds as to who to adopt.

Finally, Ronnie and Gadget, Sorry, Phillip was in there but jumped out just prior to taking this picture.

Have a great week
Nigel & Bonnie
