Monday .. and MUGS

Great time with the kids yesterday, picnic'ed with Cash Loot and Izzie .. although Izzie wouldn't have much to do with the AD, but Cash and Loot ate well. It looked as if Izzie had eaten quite well, her dry food bowl was quite low. Loot and Izzie got along very well. When she approached him, he rolled over on his back and she sniffed his tummy. She's quite the little sniffer, exploring every inch of each room. She got under the gate from the back room, she also mysteriously appeared in the ferret room with the boys (I let them out first and then was working with Randy). Luckily Jinx had just realized she was there and they we just getting ready to go at each other. I just put her in the front room and switched the boys around (except for Jinx). Loot and Izzie played lots in the tubes.
 
I've left six 'ferret lover' mugs, tiny, but good for ferret brushes & clippers, or pens .. they were donated to the shelter by my daughter, they are custom made, and can be had for a donation of $10. I should have put an envlelope under them to collect the money, if you don't have an envelope put it in a mug for now.
 
Cheers all, Sue

The Wednesday report

OK- so it would have been another ho-hum nite at the shelter if it hadn't been for the new addition, little Izzy (Izzie). She was given the nod and sniff of approval by 2 out of the 3 resident boys. No need to mention names.
Altho' I hear that Izzie did not enjoy her ride in from Hamilton, she wasted no time getting out of the carrier.
She quickly explored the main ferret room with Loot or Cash in tow. I figure that Loot is the more yellowish of the pair. Lots of talking and tubing. An absolute gentle bouncy ball of fur. She is just what sleepybones Loot and Cash needed to get themselves moving and exploring again.
Everyone was out for close to 3 hours. This allowed Loot and Cash ample time for a snooze or two. Jinx enjoyed a lot of cuddle time in my arms away from Izzie. While I held Izzie, Jinx ran around the room in a frenzy hunting for her. This was promptly followed by a timeout for him in the isolation room. 
What did these guys do without that tent??? It sure is the major attraction and a super place to cuddle up in a ferret bed for a few zzzz's. 
It was a great evening for all. The boys ate an entire can of warm a/d. The new gal wasn't interested in a/d or ferretone. As a matter of fact, she did not eat a thing. She checked out everything in her cage before settling down quietly under her blankets.
