Dinner Parties

Today was our early St Patrick's Day celebration - we hosted a few friends for a yummy dinner.  It's always interesting to find out how the critters are going to behave when we have guests.

This go around was pretty good.  Emma barked at first - always has to let you know someone is coming. She had her nose where it shouldn't be a couple of times - smelling all they yummy food is hard for a puppy to ignore.  Once I gave her a bone she was good to go and was actually very well behaved.

Oliver was in the middle of everything as usual.  Once he got some attention and it became apparent that he was not going to get any more because we all sat down to eat he settled in for a nap.  He got lots of attention after dinner which he of course loved...

Phoebe was Miss Brave Girl for some reason tonight - usually she is a fraidy cat when guests come over. Not tonight - she was in the middle of things and wanted to be loved on and played with.  Not sure what was up with that but I will take it!!

Finnegan was the only ferret who ventured downstairs for a visit.  He is quite social and crawled on laps and spelunked in the sofa.  Other than that - the rest of the ferrets played upstairs.  Aggie stayed upstairs hiding which is normal for her.  Zoey slept through the entire event on the kitchen chair.

All in all - it was a pretty good evening for the furries....
