So Long Ferrets!

We have tons of pets--but I don't think I've discussed our ferrets too much on my blog. We've had them forever--I think about eight years, which is considered pretty old for ferrets. Although they're fun pets--sort of like a combination between dogs and cats, they are VERY smelly. I find that it's a constant battle to keep their cage clean so I eventually moved the cage to the basement so their weird musky odor didn't infiltrate the entire house.

Anyway, now that the house is on the market and I have to keep it clean and fresh-smelling 24/7, I decided that there's no way I can stay on top of the ferret odor situation--so they are taking a "vacation" at our very nice and very accommodating neighbor's house! Luckily, they have ferrets too so they know what they're getting into! I can't even begin to say how grateful I am that the ferrets aren't here right now--as much as I like them, my stress level just couldn't handle them right now

Here's Andy getting the ferrets ready for their getaway. That's Baby on the left and Creampuff on the right.

And here's Pickle saying goodbye to them as Andy loaded them into the travel kennel. You can tell she's about to lose it...
She lost it!
Poor Pickle!
I didn't exactly share her sentiments!

Oh--did I mention that over our big Open House Weekend, Teddy came down with Influenza B virus? UNCLE!!
