Rockies first shots were last week. The entire family went with all da weasils. Sean insisted on holding Rocky through the entire car ride and during the wait. The vet had some emergencies so we kind of had an excrutiating wait. Sean still would not let go of Rocky. Then I saw the cutest thing. Sean was sitting there holding Rocky doing the "kiss rules" thing. He made his own modifications though. Poor Rocky was sitting on his lap as Sean carefully brushed his fur back from his face with his hand ...... 100 times!!!!!! Poooor widdle ting! He was about bald by the time the vet came in. 100 pets and then a careful kiss on the head. Then he would commence the entire procedure again, and agian. So heard this counting to 100 over and over and over. The vet came in and told Sean and us that it would probably be best for Sean not to be in the room when the ferret gets his shot in case he screams out. He says some ferrets sound so terrible this might traumatize Sean. Weeeeeeell I could not get my big boy to leave for anything. He kept holding onto Rocky (whos eyes were beginning to bulge from such huge hugs), and saying he wanted to stay. Rocky and the other weazebutts got their shot with out so much as a twitch. It was a nice experience. And Sean came out alright. We got back for the other (we broke them up) in another week. Wolfy [Posted in FML issue 3000]
