Ferret-y comings and goings

[fireun]

So, my beautiful Sigyn has been adopted. I was contacted by the local emergency animal response team on behalf of someone who had lost one of their ferrets in the flooding in the fall, and their remaining one was pining. They, amusingly enough, migrated to the same hill djkc and I bought a house atop, so at least Sigyn has not gone far. 


Two days before Sigyn went home, two three year old males were turned over to me. We have named them Jonothan (family joke between my sisters, Nana, and myself) and Oscar. Jonothan is a hellion, while Oscar mostly trundles about quietly. He did get a bit riled up over toys last night though.

This is Jonothan-


and this is Oscar

Yay for adoptions! The ferrets in your care are all so sweet. My Mom was surprised at how tame they seemed.

You always adopt out the really remarkable looking ones! She was the one I could still tell apart admist all our sables!
..of course, she also liked to bit my toes for some reason. Apparently, they were yummy. (You should have seen me last time.....Sigrun! No, Molly! Damn it...er....you know, from the butt, you all look alike. Just stop chewing on that one. Really.)

...I named her Sigyn in hopes no one would want to adopt the one with the crazy name. Alas, that only worked for so long. She was super pretty...

and you are right. When I think about it, our packs combined really do all looks rather similar from the rump-end of things.

Oscar makes Ridcully face all the time. I think it is just something about the champagne coloring that causes that expression. At least he does things besides eat so far.

Hey, he plays on occasion. Confusions abounds when he does. But it happens. The other day he had Alicia flipped and pinned to the ground by her ear - dead silent the two of them - when I broke them apart, she dooked right over and jumped on Thor.

I have NO IDEA what she did to him.

That is the best mental image I have had all day. I love you. I am glad Ridcully does not take her shit, but also glad she dooked over to Thor. Makes me think she is turning into an actual ferret as opposed to the ill mannered grizzly bear she was pretending to be.

Also, you didn't rename Alicia?

We keep trying to, but nothing has stuck yet.

Her name is insidious, apparently.

yes but that is too hard to yell out quickly. Insidious! litter pan!

Doesn't work.

I feel so bad for Sigyn's new family- losing one of their ferrets must have been terrible for them. I hope Sigyn is happy there with them. <3

Awww, Oscar's little face. My favorite ferret growing up was a teeny tiny sable- seriously, she was easily half the size of the big albino male we had at the same time. They were both awesome ferrets, but she was such a love. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for sables.
