Silly fuzzies. Amelia does the same thing with me after her medications, but it's not quite so funny when it's proglycem, which stains everything white... sometimes it's my slippers and sometimes it's my neck, depending on whether I've put her down yet or not; yesterday I didn't notice until after lunch that there was a big white smear on my sweater, oh well! Names are funny things. It took me a month to name Amelia; if she wasn't deaf, I would have had to just name her Ferret, because she would have gotten used to that. But when I thought of the name Amelia, I said it to her, and it just settled right on her. OTOH, I had thought that Cully short for ChuCullain would be a good ferret name, and as soon as I got Cully (previously known as Kramer) I knew the name fit him. He needed something a little more dignified than Kramer, and I thought a hero name would be good for his self-esteem. He learned it very quickly so that confirmed that choice :) Regina Regina Harrison [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] http://www.channel1.com/users/regina/ blog: http://www.channel1.com/users/regina/zblog.html [Posted in FML issue 3688]
