A princess in a tower…of shredded paper

002

Good news for Zoe! From what Zoe would let the vet see — which admittedly wasn’t much — her throat is fine. In fact, she was feeling rather feisty last week and was showing her displeasure by snipping at anyone who got too close. She’s been playing well and getting along with everyone, even the cousins over the holidays. Aside from her fur thinning a bit on her tail (pretty normal for her age/this time of year), she’s doing fine and having fun. 🙂

Edit: Okay, ferret photos are uploaded through the first week of January. I’ll throw a reminder in my calendar to upload more after the holidays, but feel free to send me a reminder if you get desperate for your fix. -M

When I placed her in the tub with 2″ of very warm water in it, she just very calmly started exploring around, sniffing the bubbles and walking all over. After a minute or two she looked at me and just sort of said, “Okay, this was cool but I’m done.” And then I bathed her. I think you can see in her expression what she thought of that. She did very well in her first real bath with us, no nips or anything. 🙂

Ahem.

There are sacrifices even when they’re settling down to sleep, however. I am posting the following picture because we aim to be both informative and amusing here.
