General Updates

You know - today was a fairly uneventful Monday for the critters and quite frankly - after the whirlwind that was last week I will take it!!

The kitties all seem quite happy and stable health wise.  They spent the day searching for sunny spots to lay in and giving themselves baths.  You know, I have always wondered why kitties bathe themselves so much...after all they just laid around and slept all day.  How dirty could they possibly be?

Emma is doing well.  I think she is quite happy to be home and have things back to normal.  She is quite the creature of habit.

The ferrets - I am happy to say that for the first time in quite some time everyone seems to be quite healthy.  The little boys seem to be great after their antibiotics.  Maddie is fully recovered from her tummy episode and Clooney and Violet both seem to be doing fantastic.  They are all active and interactive and I am loving that the three boys are playing and hanging out together without squabbling.

Last but not least - my sickly fishy friend SteveIrwin.  He is still hanging out and plugging along.  He doesn't seem to be getting better really - but he doesn't seem to be getting worse either.  I have done some research and they say that it can take a few weeks to get over some ailments for little fishies.  So - I keep his tank as sparkling clean as I can and make sure he is as comfy as possible and continue to give him fishy antibiotics.  Hopefully he will improve.  He is a cute and stubborn little fish....

So - there you have it - the general zoo updates.  Looking forward to a calmer week....
