Introducing Violet

Our sweet baby girl - she is something else.  In the few days we have had her - this is what I have learned.

Violet is confident, somewhat fearless and she seems to be a pretty happy little girl.  She loves to play.  She loves to eat - wow - talk about an appetite.  She loves to sleep and she sleeps so soundly you can relocate her and she doesn't even stir.  She loves her brother Finn.

She seemed to make the adjustment from the pet store to her new home a bit easier than Finn did.  She is fearless of any of the critters and often tortures the dog by pulling on her scarf or chasing her tail.  Emma tolerates for a bit and then gives up and gets on the bed where it is baby ferret free for the time being.

She is a pretty gentle girl - we haven't had to work on biting yet.  I don't think teething is bothering her quite as much as her brother.  She is not as outwardly affectionate as Finn but does love to be held while she sleeps and given pets as she wakes up.  In some ways she does remind me a tiny bit of Agatha - a bit of an observer.  We will see how it goes as she settles in more and more over the next couple of weeks.
