Okay, we are in Spring or Autumn, depending on location.
 
What does your ferret (do your ferrets) think of it?
 
The FML needs some funny ferret stories.  It's been almost all serious
stuff and money garnering recently.

We are beta testing a new food and the manufacturer accidently made it
too small in size.  Poor Sherman was intrigued by the smell and wanted to
try it but it was just too small to bite right.  He stood at the plate
cussing: " Braggghhhhp!  Braggghhhh.  Bragghhhh.  Bragghhhhp!" We got
some into him later by wetting it down but the texture didn't seem to be
a favorite of his.

Mornie just came in and I asked her (using words she knows), "What the
sniffs out?" She ran over to the screen door and inhaled a big whiff
then danced backwards for about 5 feet, finishing with some pronging.

Did I ever tell you that when Sherman had his surgery Whizbang took her
very favorite thing in the world and left it at the barrier outside the
back bathroom which we use for a recovery room?
 
Sherman is very, very happy without adrenals now.  It took some adjusting
to get his meds right and some nights he is bad about eating them.  He
seems to have decided that he is thin ferret and actually is starting to
have the right zoomy activity level for his age.  His IBD has also become
milder recently, too, so that is great.  Talk about scruffy looking!
Between his years on steroids and the fur loss when his right adrenal
had hyperplasia (The left came out due to a vascular malformation.) he
has bare strips.  Most of his head top is bald.  The back of his neck is
bald.  He has chevrons of baldness on each side, and he is bald over his
spinal column.  His skin is finally starting to bounce back after being
larger for when he had all that steroid fat so he doesn't have leg and
belly wattles now.  With his short tail he moves like a bear.  He's
the mildest and happiest we've ever seen him in recent weeks.  Mr.
Play-play-play boy!
