July Month in Review


Wow - July has been a jam packed month - both for the humans and for the critters.  We kicked off with all the little critters and Ollie going to the vet.  Everyone is doing great and Ollie's levels are perfect!  :)

Emma survived another 4th of July - oh how she hates those fireworks!

The critters had a week with the hubs while I traveled for business.  He did a great job of caring for them - making sure they had what they needed and that Ollie got his meds.  Emma spent the week with her Grandma and Grandpa - she had much more fun playing with Quincy than sitting at home for a really long time waiting for her daddy to get home from work.

I caught the crud while I was traveling and had to avoid the ferrets and the hedgehog so I didn't share my germs with them - that was no fun but luckily short lived.

Zoey had her vet visit and was diagnosed with hyperthyroid, same as Ollie.  She started her medication a couple of weeks ago and seems to be doing quite well.

Nigel is doing well - he has had a bath and nail trim recently and seems to be happy and healthy.  Baby ferrets are great - happy, playing and generally wreaking havoc.  Maddie is fantastic - loving having the babies to play with and keep her company.  Clooney is bright and active and seems to be doing so well - I am really pleased.  Kitties are all doing just great - Phoebe is still the toy queen, Aggie is hanging out with her humans more and more and both Ollie and Zoey are thriving with the adjustment to their thyroid levels.  Miss Emma is great - her health is very good and for the most part she is quite the good girl - if we could just break her of scratching on the carpet....ugh.

So there - you have it...a busy July recap.  August will be busy as well - a bit of travel for the humans which means pet sitter standing in for us.  Aggie has her vet appointment in late August.  Phoebe may go in for her check up in August - but more likely - early September.  Wow - where did the summer go?
