Thanks to all of you who posted or emailed directly with responses to my
question about ferretproofing drawers.  I think the magnetic latches I
bought to install on the drawers should effectively keep him out, but
we'll see.
 
I brought the little carpet shark home this afternoon, about four hours
ago.  Right now he's sleeping peacefully, which is a big change from the
little stressball he was after being separated from his littermates for
the first time, driven home in a car (gasp!) and coming to a new place.
Hopefully this afternoon's sneezing fit convinced him the litterbox isn't
a good place to play; he's using it fairly reliably so far as a toilet,
and I'd like to keep it that way.
 
I'm waiting a few days to name him so I can see how his personality turns
out.  Right now the top candidates are Doc Holliday, Rugrat, Falstaff, and
Moriarty.  Any suggestions or comments on the name would be welcome.
