I can't wait either...I am DYING over here!

Name ideas I'm pondering:

-Cookie
-Lainey
-Zoey
-Winnie


Can you tell I've been thinking about her?
I'm sitting over here like a crazy person saying these names out loud to the picture I have, seeing if they fit or roll off my tongue right...LOL!!!

LOL Tink!!! What a super valentine's gift. I think the little one is SO cute, I bet you can't wait until Thursday

Lainey's a sweet name. Don't know why it just kind of suits her

Re: SO very excited!


Calling breeder this afternoon to see how her spay went and setup exact pickup time on Thursday
Not too long now!!
Pulled hospital/quarantine cage out of the garage yesterday and set it up in the spare room. It's nice in there because it's dark, peaceful, and quiet and I want to make sure she has every chance to heal properly. Don't want to stress or bother her with the boys yet until she's properly ready to play again because I'm sure that's the first thing the boys will want to do.
Can't wait to bond with her and hold her in my arms . Thinking about how soft and fluffy she was when I last held her...*sighs*
Gonna clean that cage today and setup Baby Bear and Monkey's old/spare bedding.
Just doing things to busy myself in preparation..the anticipation's killing me, LOL!!

Well, from what I understand, they should be fine and healing should be well on the way at about 5 days after surgery. So, the earliest I'm going to introduce her to the boys would be this Monday, the 23rd.
Thursday night after I get her I will probably just take some pictures with her when we get home and then put her on cage rest for the night. Then Friday afternoon I will let her explore the ferret room on her own with me. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I can let her have short supervised bouts of play/exploration and will need to watch that she's not licking at or pulling her stitches.
I'm also going to take this time for her to bond with me first individually without the boys and give her lots of treat and soup to let her know that I am Mommy now.
Also, it'll give me time to switch her off of her old food (that I picked up at the store) and wean her onto the food we feed at this house. Hopefully she'll be eating what the boys eat by Monday..will have to see how well she takes to the switch, otherwise I will just offer her mix in a seperate bowl in the cage and hope the boys don't get accustomed to her old food too much and keep from picking at it.
I hope she loves me as much as I already love her and I am just preparing for a great welcome home to let her know this is a safe, happy, loving place.

Re: SO very excited!


Lainey rings a bell with me; Winnie makes me think of the PM or the Pooh!
