Hi everyone! Hope all humans and fuzzies are doing ok and the sick ones getting better I haven t posted in SO long but I m still always lurking and being touched by all the funny, sweet and sometimes so sad stories from this precious community. And always learning so much too! Things are alright over here, everyone healthy thank God. Snowed yesterday, not much but I love it! So even though Logan, Leeloo and Salma had already gone for a walk this week, I took them quickly to see the snow! (there wasn t enough to scoop up and bring to our place). It wasn t that horribly cold but I made it short since Logan s winter fur still doesn t look as thick as it can get. Well, when we go to the park (which is practically next door) I carry them in a warm backpack anyway, with towels and stuff, which I set on the floor while they explore and dig This way they can always run back inside whenever they get scared, cold or tired (even though they usually prefer to climb up my legs and hide inside my jacket). :-) Watching them sniff and dig made me wonder Are albinos more prone to like snow than other color fuzzies? (So many albino or light colored animals living in areas with snow in nature right?) I know it s a silly question but at least between the 3 here, only the albino alpha- sweetie Leeloo seem to be fascinated and want to walk all over the place the longest time! So tiny and so brave, digging on the snow and looking around with those cute pink eyes. (I m glad she has the brightest chest-collar otherwise she d be invisible LOL!) And speaking of tiny, I finally took a photo with Leeloo and baby Salma standing up side by side, it is just incredible the difference! How did I end up being owned by two complete extremes as fuzzy girls?! Leeloo the size of a kit and Salma the size of a male! I guess that s as big as Salma will get tough, being 6 months and all Do you guys remember when I was asking for help that Leeloo kept biting the recently adopted baby Salma? I m happy to say how the acceptance period only lasted a month, and you should see them playing and wrestling together now! Leeloo still kicks butt even though Salma sometimes sits on her making Leeloo disappear under her huge body (yep, Salma has put a LOT of winter fat, even worries me a little! She s about 2 kilos now!!!!! I hope she goes back to normal in Spring! Maybe not having being spayed yet, being her 1st winter and eating so much meat and bone ). Anyway, I don t wanna bore anyone, just wanted to say Hi and send a big hug with warm Christmas wishes from the 4 of us! :-D If you wanna see the picture of the girls side by side, feel free to pop by at http://cperth.vilabol.uol.com.br/leelooe.htm And there s a new photo of them going for a walk (new ones in snow coming up!) http://cperth.vilabol.uol.com.br/outside.htm The site s still under construction, so only a couple of photos like this one are new. (hasn't Salma changed a lot?!!) Oh! And if anyone s thinking of a good X-mas present for a ferret human or vet, I would recommend the well known Ferrets, Rabbits and Rodents Clinical Medicine and Surgery which I finally bought! I agree that it s just great to have (a must!) and to take with us to the vet (especially the ones without ferret knowledge!). A few heartbreaking pictures (like of the poor ferret with distemper, cause you know he died) :-( but I wish there were many more and in color, for the good of the sick fuzzies! Well, take care then you all, And hugs and dooks to everyone!!! Chris, Leeloo (tiny!), Salma (big girl) and Logan (er I guess small for a boy?). [Posted in FML issue 3636]
