2011 - the Year in Review - Clooney

My joyful Clooney - I so love that little boy.  2011 was a good year for him - no major health issues (no dietary indiscretions).  He is a "free range" ferret these days - free to roam the house rather than be in a cage.  His primary sleeping spot is the hubs closet - either in a dresser drawer or in his easy chair.

He still loves to make the bed, play with Ollie, snuggle with Zoey, play tag with Phoebe....and he still relocates his sacred cow every day or two.  He loves the car and went with us to the lake over Thanksgiving.

We struggled a bit getting Clooney switched over to the raw food diet.  For some reason the little carnivore doesn't like meat.  It took some convincing but he is now enjoying both the dog food and the cat food every day.  He is still on his Ferretone each day as well as his favorite daily rawhide stick.

I am still on the lookout for a friend for Mr Ferret.  I have had no luck finding a mellow sweet boy for him to play with so for now he gets Ollie for the most part.  He and Nigel are getting better with each other - maybe by the end of 2012 they will be friends.
