With a few days off from work I was able to share some very special moments with Serena and the ferrets. Serena is so cute with the ferrets and she truly does love her siblings. Nikita is a petite albino. Serena saw Nikita come out into the living room and jumped down off the bed. Nikita bounced over to her and Serena stood stock still as Nikita rubbed all over her front legs, nosing up through the fur (Serena is part lhasa and has long flowing fur), her sides and back legs, then layed underneath and played with Serena's dangling fur. Serena stood there calmly enjoying this show of affection. Then Nikita bounce and rolled away and Serena bounded after her only to stand still again so Nikita could ruffle through her fur. It brought tears to my eyes. I also heard Serena talking to the ferrets. She was downstairs and I heard her garrrring and looked down to see her gently mouthing a ferret in a bed. When she saw me she looked up and the ferret layed there waiting for Serena to continue. They were playing, a 20 pound puppy and 3 pound ferret. Since I'm now back to my regular work schedule, when I come home from work several ferrets come to me for cuddles and kisses. I think they enjoyed my extra time home with them, or perhaps it was all the extra recipe they got to eat throughout the days.... A few fuzzies from the giving tree didn't get gifts from their santas this year. I've listed their names, pages numbers, wants and mailing addressess below. You can visit their giving tree pages to read their stories. Anyone out there willing to send them a little something so they know they were not forgotten?
