A ferret a day keeps the blues away…
It’s been a couple months since we lost Jack-Jack, and like it was with Ysabell, the pain of the loss strikes us at the most random times.
Here’s one of the last snuggles we had with him. He had just gotten an impromptu bath after we discovered him in distress in his cage, and we were trying to get him dry and keep his body temperature up. Poor little guy was so cold at the end.
It’s the only place you might be safe from her, should you displease her…
Back in May, we had visitors. Sydney, Zoe’s mom, was back in the States for a visit, and had her new husband Andrew along. So naturally, they had to come visit us and the ferrets! Sydney was overjoyed to see Zoe again, and it was Andrew’s first experience with ferrets. Naturally, Minion was his charming self, Minsc was a total goofball, and Zoe was approving of being treated like the little furry princess she is.
Snapped this with my phone before playtime tonight.
Just ignore the litter bins…it’s almost inevitable that they end up in videos, given that we put them everywhere to avoid random corner-poops and the follow-up carpet cleaning.
Also…I fell asleep with the ferrets out and playing last night. I was woken up at 3am…by Minion licking my forehead.
We’re alive…I’ve just not had the heart to do JJ’s retrospective post. He was laid to rest the evening of April 23rd after we helped him to the bridge. He was bleeding out through his intestines and even our vet, as awesome as she is, couldn’t stabilize him.
His memorial post will be up eventually, but for now, here’s a quick teaser video, one of many I’ve taken and have yet to post. It even features our departed boy for part of it.
The photos after this mostly involved her nose.
