Sunday night, May our older, deaf female decided she would rather sleep than romp during the evening. She couldn't even be bothered getting up, when I got ready for bed. Most nights - her and I cuddle a little, I give her ears and neck a good rubbing and she gets her treat of nutrimalt or petrimalt. But not Sunday night - she wanted to sleep. Well, it seems that in the middle of the night (about 1:30 AM), Little Miss May seemed to realized that she missed out. I woke to a ferret kissing my nose, checking out my ears, etc. I tried to ignore her and pretend I was asleep. Didn't work! I could almost hear her. "Mommy, get up, pleeeaase! I really need my treat. Come one. Just for a few minutes. Get up. Pleeeaase!" All the while she keeps pestering me - tickling my toes, kissing my nose, etc. I finally gave up and opened my eyes. She looked so happy. I gave her a couple of rubs and quick treat and put her back on the floor. She was happy and satisfied - and went back to sleep. I was tired Monday mroning, but I couldn't be mad at her. She use to be a biter and she didn't nip me once!
