We can has?
We have a new addition to our little family! A female ferret (as yet unnamed) came home with us tonight from Pet Land. She is made of cyoot and of awesomes. The look on Merry's face when I told her "yes, we can take her home" was priceless. She was beside herself with delight.
We've been talking about doing this for a while. Since Bella, our Jack Russell Terrier, went on to a better home, (and especially since Cookie mutinously chose me to be his "person" and not M) Merry has longed for something to call her very own. Tonight, the time was right. Yes, we're tight on cash, but ... this is one special ferret, and one special woman.
We've been in to look at the ferrets a few times in the past weeks, and each time, this little one stole Merry's heart. She's the runt of the litter by far, and was picked on mercilessly by her sisters, so much so that the pet shop had to separate them so that Little Bit could actually get a chance to eat. They warned us to keep an eye on her, to make sure that she is eating ... but since being home in her new cage (with platforms on various levels, and a hammock, and a wheel, and toys, and and and ...), she has eaten several times already. She's going to need a little TLC, some special attention, and Merry is the perfect candidate for Ferret Mommy-hood.
Happy mother's day, my love.

PS:
My input as to the name was cast aside. I wanted to call her "Riding through the desert on a Ferret with no name", but it was too long or something. :D
