Thank you all for your participation in this contest, little guy and shelter mum found the suggestions wonderful.. Possum picked the winning name! Drum Roll Please >>>>>> Piglet is his name>>>>>>>>>> I offer the name Piglet- someone small, who eats a lot, is timid and wants to be brave- kjc Piglet had an appointment with our favorite Doc at 3 in the afternoon on Friday the 5th, Miss Jackie is took him up. When I took his picture this morning (Friday) he was much brighter and more responsive than he had been yesterday. I expect he will do very well once he gets settled in. Doc put him on Pred and clavamox 2 times a day. He is eating drinking and pooping well, he is not incontinent. His paralysis is on his left side, which is what makes him list to that side, Doc and I both feel he was dropped at some point in his young life. It is less than a week and he is already showing signs of a kit, he still falls over (left) when he tries to move about but it is becoming less as the days go by. I do hope with exercise, love and attention he will get better and be up and running like a kit should be. He spends his days up in mum's space in the sick pen. I have throw rugs in there for traction. Piglet gets up to use the pee pad so he is doing wonderfully. Thanks again for the kind words, name suggestions and love you sent his way. Below are all the name suggestions that came in. Shelter mum Brenda As for the new ferret, my name suggestion is Reese. With his coloring it made me think of champagne, and then my favorite type of wine, a riesling. Well, Reese is kind of short for that and to me, he looks like a Reese!

Donna Ham, short for Hamish - Hamish is an archetypal male Scottish name. The name is uncommon outside of Scotland, Australia and New Zealand. Its English equivalent is James, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_%28name%29> which is a variant of the Hebrew name Jacob. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_%28name%29> The name Hamish originates from the lenited form of the Scottish Gaelic name Seumas. The lenited vocative case form is spelled 'a Sheumais', pronounced 'uh HEM-ish'. The first syllable of Hamish itself is normally pronounced like the English word "hay". Hamish is often used as a name for a Scottish person in fiction, or when a person's name isn't known but their nationality is apparent from the speaker's accent, similar to Jock. Pete Poor guy! He looks kinda like my voodoo. He looks like a Spencer or a Dexter to me! very sweet.
