The Latest Business News
Latest adventures at Mustelid Manor: Our normal pair of ferrets adopted around Valentine's Day actually bypassed our home this year and found a family that was ferretless and seeking. Isabella and Ferdinand were placed in their new home on February 8th and are reported to be a good fit. I was contacted about this pair and started trying to find them a home on October 4th--four months later, the original owner and their new family were finally able to connect; Izzy and Ferd became the loved family members that they were meant to be and were welcomed into their new forever home.
And as the universe would have it, a new ferret still walked into our lives; on February 27th, a new little guy also became a part of our family (because February equals ferrets LOL). Our newest addition, Buddy, is already fitting in well and is getting to know his new family--although I think Luna has a major crush on him and may be bonding already. Sumo has decided, in the albino tradition, that he is the Kingpin and the business leader--not that Buddy seems to have any interest in being top ferret, anyhow. However, Sumo would not be Sumo without such assertions.
Elliot was having some struggles with fabric eating (he also initially nursed his cagemate, Chunk's, ears to the point of being painful)--however, we are now carefully monitoring which fabric types are in his cage and he now gets special hand-feeding times which seems to be helping with his "Mommy Issues". Of course, now all of the ferrets seem to think they need this special attention--minus Poof Cat and Porch Weasel--they are a bit too cool and too rowdy for such favoritism...
Little Bear continues to act as the pouty, sullen, emo teen. His Houdini tricks earlier this week led to an increase in ferret-castle security which has, of course, led to an increase in his belief that he has it so terribly. He may be the moodiest ferret that has ever graced our home and he is by far, the most attention-seeking and jaded. Do you have an angsty teen in your home? Picture that teen with a fuzzy face and you have our Little Bear--life is so hard, terribly unfair, and *sighs* full of drama.
And in the meantime, Chunk continues to be Chunk--trying to figure out the world around him--just seeking out new warm places to sleep without being bothered by the others. He continues to enjoy biting only me (for whatever reason)--except for those times when he wants his own special hand-feeding moments. Poof Cat and Porch Weasel continue to be the crazed, little maniacs that I hope they always will be. Life with four Path Valley ferrets will be interesting, I am sure (thank goodness the other four are the slower, more intellectually challenged Marshall ferrets)...
