Poor fuzzball :(

Was just about to explode with excitement about new puppy tomorrow but it doesn't seem right now. I've been where you are with a ferret in the past, I've been through fine-today-dying-from-cancer-the-next etc so I know how you're feelings. Hoping she gets better.

I went to pick him up today :) Went for this wee guy instead of the white one. And ignore my hair; rain is no fun.

What a beautiful pup. What is his name?

Lucy is fighing her way through another day here. She keeps 'dead sleeping' which is common for ferrets, but she usually only does it mabe 1/5 times i try to wake her up usually. Now it is probably 4/5 times.. (video of dead sleep incase anyone here is scratching their head... http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3 DlCpcYbHPWKc&h=NAQF-okpg )
I know it's a natural thing but it can kind of make ur heart stop if she's doing that when there is a very real possibility of like.. actually finding her dead. :\ bit scary... sigh.

Really sorry to hear about your ferret xBenji. I love ferrets and I still miss and love the ones me and Alex(wallflower) had. If anything like this had happened to our boys I dont know what I would have done. Thoughts to you and I really hope your Lucy pulls through!!

Pups name is Morrissey and he and Alex are currently sleeping together on the sofa :) I have never had a dog from a pup before so I'm really excited :)

You still have the one hob right? Bear?
I've never had a puppy- or a dog! But used to 'pet sit' dogs professionally ($300 the weekend wasn't bad pocket change haha). I would love to have a dog someday but ferrets match my apartment lifestyle much better at the moment.
Enjoy puppyhood, it doesn't last long! and thank you for your kind thoughts.

PS I know who Alex is :p We went to see a gig once
