Critter Monday

Monday has rolled around again - it seems like it gets here so fast and it takes a bunch longer to get to Friday.  Critter Monday shaped up something like this:


  • Approximately 3 am Emma scratched on the carpet waking me up - that was all she wrote for sleep so I moved downstairs on the couch to watch TV
  • About 3:30 Madison and the little ferrets came downstairs to play - they had a blast - romping and wrestling and climbing up my blanket and jumping off the couch
  • Around 6:30 Clooney came down for a visit - baby ferrets went into hiding
  • At about 7:30 we all trooped upstairs
  • About 8:30 Emma and I went outside to do some yardwork
  • Over the course of the day I worked, had several meetings, etc - and had lots of visitors of the feline and ferret persuasion
  • About 4:30 Clooney was mean to Finn so Finn wanted me to hold him - he wouldn't let me put him down til about 6
  • 7:30 we left for dinner and when we returned all four ferrets were downstairs - the babies were playing and Clooney was peacefully coexisting
  • Now we are settled in for the night - kitties are all sprawled on the bed, Violet and Finn are munching on food in the hall, Maddie is snoozing in the closet, Clooney is sleeping in his chair, Nigel is running on his wheel after a snack of worms and some pets, Emma is sacked out under the bed and we are wrapping up this Monday for the night....
On to Critter Tuesday!  :)
