Some of you may remember Bubbles surprising da Momma with this song last Christmas....well....I heard a very soft low voice coming from the crazy kid cage this morning, and of all ferts, it was Ollie, our famous ollie-ball player and chief schmooz, who received his deslorlin implant a month and a half ago. (He must have heard about it from Dobbin.) sung to I'll be Home for Christmas: I'll be fuzzy fer Kissmas you can count on dat 'cause Mom got me Deslorlin when I went to da vet Da melatonin didn't work Da Lupron din't eeder I was de only nekid fert eatin at de feeder but..... I'll be fuzzy fer Kissmas you can count on dat 'cause Mom got me Deslorlin when I was at de vet As one of my Slightly Used Ferrets, Ollie has enjoyed the wonderful care of our vet here in Maryland. being six years old, he has come down with both Insulinoma and adrenal disease both within the last year, but i am ever so happy to see him getting a few new tufts of short fur throughout his thin summer coat. Though later than the other kids, I feel confident that by the coldest of weather here, he'll be well protected. His energy level has also gone up and he's playing with my 18 month old, Chepe' like he's a kit.His aggression has subsided a bit, he no longer tries to pull the other ferts under the sofa to stash them away, Chese thinks this is a great improvement, and Marty, his favorite stashed fert, is thrilled that he can play in peace. We decided that the tree will go on the bistro table in the sun room this year, much to the sadness and sighs of Chepe' the chief trouble maker, and our chief tree climber, Zoe. I heard some whispering between Cheese and Chepe. I can only surmise there is planning going on to check out the decorations and steal all Moms little stuffed mechanical toys. Just wait guys...I'll bring in a bucket of snow so cold it'll make you pee!!!! I have my own little revenges! Just my luck, it won't snow in MD this year.
