FYI, I have a new email address. This is both for me personally & for the WMFC. [log in to unmask] The move to the new house went well with profound appreciation and thanks to friends. Ferrets moved first, of course. For those who have been through it, I'm not telling you anything you haven't experienced. The ferrets were inconvenienced for a few hours while we dissembled their cages, washed the bedding, bowls & water bottles. We took the cages to the car wash for a power wash before setting back up in the new place. Then it was the time-consuming part of putting everything back together. The WMFC ferrets love their new house. They have the entire lower level, except for those who manage to sneak upstairs to the main level. Indy and Coco are my privileged two. They get the run of the entire house. Indy loves the noise he makes when he thunders across the floor. You can see the look of delight on his little face as he runs, spins one way & then the other & then looks up at me. Coco is more lady-like about it. She methodically goes downstairs & brings toys upstairs to hide. My other 2 personal ferrets, Sugar Bear & Kody, are handling it all a bit differently. Sugar Bear is blind but yet he flies up the stairs to the main level. Kody on the other hand, doesn't want to have a thing to do with the stairs. On his first try, he got to the third step & started to shake. I thought he was going to stroke on me. I didn't expect that at all. Go figure. The lower level also accommodates a separate room where I can sell miscellaneous ferret items. As for me, I'm still trying to find my own "hidey holes" for my "stuff". With working full-time, taking care of the ferrets & April weekend ferret events, I haven't had much time. See you in St. Louis.
