I'm so excited, I'm out of my mind, it's out of control!  We adopted number
13 last night, but for some reason it turned into 15!  How does that
happen?  Just a year ago we had only 2 then went to 10, now we have 15.
How does that happen?  We had planned on adopting Scooter (4+ yrs) because
we fell in love with him when we baby-sat for him and some other sick ones.
At the time we were overwhelmed with going from 3 down to 2 and up to 10 we
just didn't want to adopted another one, especially with a sick cage mate.
His cage mate has since crossed the bridge and he was available so... When
the shelter mom brought Scooter over she also had to pick up 2 she adopted
out because the wife was allergic.  Of course, she HAD to bring them IN and
not leave them outside!  They are just around a year old, Woozel and Pooh.
Woozel is a dark sable and Pooh is a ruby white (really a yellow muffin).
They are both very fluffy and healthy.  I asked my husband if we could keep
them and he said yes, so it's HIS fault, right?  I'm going to call Pooh,
Pooh-Bear after Tunny-Bear, my little yellow muffin that was a DEW.
Woozel, I'm not sure, call her Woozie, Woo, or how about Woozie-Woo?  I try
to keep the names they were given but in this case she's only a year old.
Any suggestions?
 
Ferret integration takes time!  It's been a year that we have been hoping
Chico-The-Meany (baby brat) would accept the 8 new comers.  He has
accepted 2 of them.  We had 2 separate play groups (the old timers and the
youngsters).  In July after my Rowdy went to the bridge we got 2 whole kits
(Funny-Face and Ollie-Bear).  We then went to 3 play groups.  Finally over
this past weekend we introduced Chico and the kits.  Now Chico is the one
being picked on, sigh, but we're down to 2 play groups, yeah!  The good
thing is there's no blood shed, just screaming, hissing and pooping, sigh!
And, of course, with adopting 3 more last night we have changed the pecking
order again, bigger sigh!
 
Really, I mean it THIS time 15 is enough!  (I keep thinking that 5 or 6
would be a good number...or would it???)
 
Prayers for your sick ones (I have some too) and tears for yours that have
crossed the bridge!
