October Month In Review

I know I say it every time I write one of these month in review posts - but how has another month flown by? November is right around the corner, holidays, craziness, end of year....ugh!

The critters had a pretty good month in October.  Healthwise everyone seems to be doing really well.  Aggie was under the weather the last day off September - but since then - knock on wood - everyone is doing fantastic in that department.

We tried lots of new pet products this last month.  The ferret probiotics and hydration products are keepers - very happy with both.  The Furo-vite - its hit or miss with that.  Some days the ferrets like it and some days they have no interest.  We tried a new conditioning spray for the ferrets - its from Marshall and has tea tree oil in it.  I am quite impressed with that one as well - the ferrets hate getting sprayed but once I rub it in they get all excited and jump around like freaks.  It does make their skin and coat really nice and it seems to help deter the fleas which we seem to be battling still.  Its not a large infestation - just the onsie, twosie here and there.  I also got a natural flea spray for the kitties and the dog - it has spearmint oil and seems to do the trick.  Kitties are not a fan of being sprayed either.

This month the baby gates came down as well so the ferrets have access to all the upstairs rooms except for the man cave.  The love exploring new spots and the baby ferrets like sleeping in the guest room for some reason.

Emma has had lots of outside time lately as we have enjoyed the fall weather and have been hiking every weekend.  She is doing well off the leash and enjoying exploring the great outdoors.

October was good - November should be crazy filled with holiday stuff, decorating, etc.  Should be interesting - it will be the babies' first Christmas (Violet, Finnegan and Theo).  This year truly has whizzed by...where does the time go?
