The Morning Ritual

Around here - mornings go something like this....


  • Alarm goes off - Kitties who aren't already on the bed come up for a visit.  Madison comes up for a visit, as does Clooney.  Cue ferret wrestling.
  • Once I get up we all head for downstairs with a pop in to Nigel's room to check on the little critter.
  • Downstairs - Clooney gets a rawhide stick which he promptly takes behind the sofa to eat.  Maddie gets her Ferretone supplement,  feeders are checked to make sure everyone has food and water.  Emma is taken outside and then given her treat.
  • Once I start working everyone tends to park downstairs - kitties on sofas and kitchen chairs, Maddie behind the cabinet in the laundry room, Emma in the entry way - only Clooney and Nigel are upstairs.

That's about how the morning ritual happens around here.  Sometimes on lazy mornings we can stay in bed and everyone just hangs out with me.  I love those mornings....
