I am very happy to report some of the kids went to their new homes this
weekend. Reed and Ruckus are my guys and they're both doing wonderful.
Reed is an older guy and totally, totally a big love. He gives the best
kisses. It's funny cause I'll play with him and tickle his tummy which
he loves and when I stop he'll jump up to grab my hand with his two
front paws.. and very, very gently grab my finger in his mouth and try
to take me into the tubes with him. Over and over again lol. He's a
very sweet, gentle giant.

Ruckus, well he's living up to his name :). He's a cage banger. Nothing
better than having a ferret banging on the cage in the wee AM even
before the alarm goes off cause he wants out to play. He's a big
dooker! Into everything he can get into. Thank goodness my house is
ferret proofed! He's attempting to ran-sack the whole house dooking
and chattering away. He THINKS it's funny!

With both of these guys, Im simply amazed at how sweet and loving they
are. Though Ruckus will attempt to whip around when he's at his
hightened joy if you grab him, he hasn't bit down hard. Reed, well I
don't think Reed has it in him. He's so very placid and sweet and did I
mention he'll kiss you till your face is raw? I do have one that has
issues.. Roy but he's coming around. He gets real upset when you go to
grab him and he is fast and hits hard but it's a fear issue with him.
Sad but upon first coming home he'd just run from touch.. now he's
learning to enjoy it. He absolutly LOVES DOC's and mice too.

A friend had told me how feeding whole prey (which I do to 5 of my
original gang anyway) works good with biters or potential biters and
boy is it ever making a difference with Roy. He's made leaps and bounds
of progress already.

So, it's been a long three weeks of waiting but gosh, Im so happy to
have my boys home. Yes, I still go and work even though my boys are
home. My daughter and I went out again last night. Yes, it's taxing
working full time and then the two hour round trip twice during the
weekday and then again on the weekend but it's been so worth it. I've
had the best time helping out Millie.

I've also met quite a few wonderful people too boot. Any of you Texas
people make a rush, these are just some beautiful kids and they so
deserve a wonderful forever home.

Till later
