Emma - she is doing just great. She is still taking her liver supplement. We not so affectionately call it the Smurf pill because she hates it and holds it in her mouth to be stubborn before she swallows it. The inside of her mouth then looks like she ate a village of Smurfs for dinner...ugh. Will be glad when that it over and I have my fingers crossed it addresses her inflated numbers. Emma will get to meet some new canine relatives later this week - my brother's dogs (along with my bro and sister in law) will arrive for the holidays and their two dogs Berger and Loki are traveling with them. Emma and Quincy (my parents dog) should have a grand time with some new playmates.
Aggie - she seems fantastic!! She is hanging out with her humans and with Zoey who is her favorite furry. Aggie is healthy and active and she seems quite content. She has turned into quite the people food fan - I try not to give her any because - don't tell her I said this - she is a bit on the pudgy side. That might have to be one of the critter new year resolutions - slimming her down just a tiny bit. She is not a fan of the ferrets - with the exception of Violet. Not sure why but she seems to have a soft spot for the Violet girl. All in all she is going strong!
Zoey - cranky pants - she is too funny. She went through a phase where she slept with us, on me, for several weeks. That phase has passed. Once we rearranged the downstairs furniture for the holidays she has taken up residency on the back of the couch. Her health is very stable and she looks amazing - she's at a great weight, her coat looks great and she has a spring in her step for sure. She still hates getting her ear meds on but she has resigned herself to the inevitability of it happening 2 times a day. She may be my cranky girl bit I do love her...
Phoebe is doing great as well - she is right on the verge of naughty but afraid to push it too far because she hates to get in trouble. She is still BFFs with Ollie and still arch enemies with Aggie - not sure that will ever change. Healthy, happy, still chatting away with her siblings and her toys. She is really quite well. Love that sweet blue eyed girl!
Madison - my sweet and joyful girl. She is so affectionate - kisses almost every time she visits you. Maddie keeps her own schedule for sure. Sometimes she hangs out away from the chaos of the baby ferrets but most of the time she is in the thick of their shenanigans. Her health is great. Her coat is changing again - its getting longer and thicker and the dark markings that had developed on the white part of her mask over the summer are fading and she is almost back to white again.
Last but not least - my beauty Miss Violet. Healthwise she is great - doing very well. Her coat is also changing but in a different way than Madison. She has lost her long locks and has much shorter hairs at the moment. Violet is truly the most independent critter we have. She does her own thing on her own terms and if it so happens that she loops you in you should consider yourself lucky. She is quite sweet when you hold her and she tries to be patient. The reality is - she would rather be down playing and doing her thing. She has developed a taste for Emma's milkbone dog treats - she has actually stolen a couple of them. I usually wait til Emma takes the first bite and find a small piece to share with her. She takes it and runs off to find a place to munch - shes a funny girl.
There you have it - an update on my girls....
