New Spaces Are Exciting

I try to keep things interesting for the ferrets.  They love to explore new places so I rotate the places they have access to.  Sometimes I open an empty cabinet, sometimes the long skinny storage closet, sometimes the linen closet and sometimes the closet in my craft room.  Whenever the "new" space is opened up they get so excited and the basically relocate.  They play in there, move their toys in there and sleep in the new spot until the next one is opened up.

I opened the closet doors in my craft room and they have been in there for 2 days now:

So - starting on the left side - the white face is Tabby, the cream face next to her is Theo, the dark and light body is actually Bash - his coat is crazy preparing for summer, the white body going left to right is Violet, the white body underneath Vi that you can barely make out is Kai and the gray girl on the right is Fiona.  The only one missing is Maddie. 

Here's Maddie!!!  Sleeping in her blanket in the hamper...

Month in Review

I know I say it every month but - what the heck happened to March??

March started out rough with the loss of our sweet Zoey in the very early morning hours of March 1st.  I miss my snagglepuss every day.  I can't believe it's been a whole month already.  The other kitties seem to be adjusting okay.  I was worried that Aggie would be too lonely since she doesn't really get along all that great with either Phoebe or Oliver.  She seems to be doing just fine - my go with the flow kitty.

Thankfully our month improved.  Winston has been much more friendly to strangers and has been well behaved - although there were a few pink turd moments over the course of the month.  Emma celebrated her 13th birthday - holy cow - she's a teenager!!  Winston got registered as an American Mini Pig.  Emma got her spring haircut.  We battled through the yellow haze of pollen with allergies and we did some gardening.

From a health perspective - I think everyone is doing well.  The kitties have been playful and active and the ferrets are as hilarious as ever - I love those crazy weasels.  The whole gang seems happy and healthy.  I will be happy when shedding season is over - hairballs and skinny ferrets as we prepare for summer coats.

Excited to see what April has in store....

Belated Birthday Celebration

So - its finally nice enough to do Emma's belated birthday celebration outside on the patio.  It wasn't anything elaborate - just some pet friendly ice cream called Dogsters.  Both Winston and Emma LOVE them.

Here are a few pictures:

I love it when she stands on the plate so it won't move while she cleans up the last of her ice cream
