The Clooney Curl Up

There are days when the crazy weasel sleeps too much resulting in late night/very early morning visits while we are sleeping.  These visits tend to be much more pleasant for me than for my husband.  Clooney views me as his mommy - the one who takes care of him, feeds him, loves on him, etc.  I think he views the hubs as another playmate who wrestles with him and gets him all riled up.  Unfortunately this results in the foot game for my husband - foot attacks from the ferret playing under the covers.  For me it results in the Clooney curl up - which I love.  He heads my way and lets me pet him - sometimes playing a bit and sometimes some little ferret kisses on my hands.  Then he curls up with his back pressing up against my palm.  I used to "hold" him like this when we first got him - more for my enjoyment than for his.  Sometimes he will snooze this way for up to an hour - usually I get about 30 minutes and then he is off the bed and into the closet for a more lengthy nap.  Some of my favorite times with him are right before he sleeps or right when he is waking up - he is so affectionate and sweet. As I post this at 7 am on a Saturday its apparent that this morning was one of those foot attack/curl up mornings - UGH.  Wouldn't trade that little guy for anything in the world - even when he does wake me at 6 am on the weekends.....
