Greetings all, I just wanted to take a little time and bandwidth to introduce the newest member of my family. Last night, little Sadie came to us from one of my wife's co-workers. She is about to move, and was worried about the prospects of finding a ferret-friendly landlord. Also, Sadie had been kept in an outside cage on all but the coldest nights in the wintertime. The girl seemed really upset about leaving her behind, and called a couple hoours later to make sure she was ok. It's good to see that she really cared. Introductions were excellent. Meeko was out when they arrived, and even on his best behavior. They put Sadie on the floor, and Meeko was right there at her side following her everywhere she went. After a little bit, he left her alone to go root through the box of her stuff that they brought. They played and dooked for a good long time, she was even playing lionmouth from under a shelf we have in the living room. It is so good to see Meeko happy again. After Fester died, he was really weirded out, and as you may remember was taking it out on everyone. (I still got marks to prove it!) But now, he's got a playmate again, and seems really happy. They were sleeping together last night on her sheepskin bag. Sadie is a very tiny sable, a little over a year old. She's about the same age as Meeko, but he's almost twice her size. Now, all we have to do is get her onto some good food. She's been fed whatever the cast ate, usually Friskies. I was feeding Meeko the Purina One Lamb and rice formula, it was the best the store had. Recently they stopped carrying that and went to Chicken and rice, but the formulation isn't right. I tried to switch him to Eukanuba, but he wouldn't touch that. He never liked Marshall's or Kay-tee. I can't find TF anywhere around here. Any good suggestions on a reasonably priced food? BTW, I wanted to thank everyone that responded to my post about Meeko earlier. Your offers were appreciated, but fortunately, not required anymore. Wayne and Rel (back up to quota on the furry children) Charro, Sasha, Keeba and Max (What, another one! Everyone watch your toes!) Meeko (Finally, someone that will fight back!) and Sadie (I may be small, but I can kick your butt!) with Fester waiting at the Rainbow Bridge. [Posted in FML issue 1808]
