Good & Bad
Link's party was too cool! She got to stay out an extra hour, but we think that was because mom couldn't get her to come out from under the sink (usually it's Rikki that pulls that one). We got a little fan of our own that cools off the top level of our cage (we get the big one at night); plus we got a new Cheweasel (Garden Herb flavor!). She hasn't given us one of those since Nanook moved into the big cage and of course, Rikki wouldn't let anyone else have any. Rikki is being so nasty to everyone--you would think it was her time or something--even Banter hasn't been as big of a jerk as Rikki is being. Mom keeps yelling at her and telling her that girl weasels don't act like that--she doesn't care. She was even a jerk to Link on her birthday (well, so was Banter, but we expected that).
We got new pictures of the Ravensnest ferret babies that will soon be going to their forever homes. Mom was sad because one of the girls still doesn't have a name (Jill #1) and she doesn't have a family anxiously awaiting her arrival. Mom gets sad everytime she sees her picture and wants to go get her--but she says she's tired of hissing, fighting females and only wants males from now on (unless it is a rescue, then she doesn't care).
One of the Ravensnest ferrets had problems yesterday--she has had a hard time carrying (this is her first time). Yesterday, she brought forth a dark-eyed male--the next one would have been a black-footed boy, but he was born dead--then she had a little albino boy, but he is having problems too--finally Sage had to be cut open and the last two babies had to be taken out because they were dead. The nice ladies suspect that they died last weekend when Sage began the markings. Mom got really sad when she found out about that; she knows that the nice ladies are sad, disappointed, and worried for the two boys that Sage still has.
Mom is worried for the little ones too--she is considering getting the albino baby if she can (even though she was holding out for a champagne and a black sable solid). We think that she misses Baron so much that she hopes to find another like him. Ferret people say that albinos have different temperaments than other ferrets and mom misses Baron so much that we think she would probably trade all of us in, just to have him back. Baron was so mean to all of us and he was bad and bit most of her friends; but he was her special boy. We think he probably never had a person treat him like she did and that's why he trusted her and always showed his appreciation the way he did. Like most of us, he learned early that people are bad and hit and hurt you--mom went through a lot of bites and bruises before he loved her back. It's been a month now and she still cries over Baron--she gets sad about Bud Badger too--but not like that. We would almost be willing to put up with a new brother if it meant mom would be happy again.
