'Tis a day to rejoice...tomorrow, both of my hobs will be neutered. No more leaking. Poor Socks, my only female, will now be able to hold her head high instead of her rump. Her rump you see that was Olivers favorite place to uhmmm...clean..yah that's it..to clean. I did not plan it this way, but it is also Olivers 1st birthday...it is not a present that my husband would want I am sure! Ricky, AKA Ricky Marken..get it?..will be 2 this July, he is my other hob. Ricky is a German/Aussie bred ferret, a gorgeous sable, solid and VERY sweet. he behaves just like a dog..LOVES to drink out of the toilet, it is very cute to see his butt and hind legs hanging over the edge of the toilet. HE IS ALSO the biggest "leaker" His morning ritual is to get up..get a drink, and start the rounds in my room of making sure EVERYTHING has been blessed by his golden liquid..starting with the top of my foot!! NEXT month I am getting my carpets cleaned!!! Oliver had grown up with my other ferrets, so it wont be a problem when he is around my other ferrets. Ricky on the other hand..well first, he would have gladly killed Oliver for me if I would have let him..in the last two months they never got to play together, but the other 3, Socks, Humphrey and Chandler, he was VERY VERY aggressive with..so I am assuming within a couple of weeks up to a month all of their hormones will be out of their system? How long should I wait before introducing them? Ricky has spent the last 2 months in my room by himself..poor guy. Well wish us luck stay fuzzy June Louis and the leaky zoo [Posted in FML issue 3041]
