I felt like hell yesterday. When I woke up this morning, there was white stuff on my tonsils. Great.
I went to the store this evening with the intention of buying some essentials. I came home with a case of Slimfast and 6 boxes of cake mix.

The new addition comes home.
Well, she’s home. And the sweetest little puppy ever. When she got inside, she immediately grabbed one of her toys and started chewing on it. Not entirely sure what to make of it, but she got many pets and hugs and treats for that. She doesn’t make much noise. I got her a kennel to stay in when we’re not home, it’s really very large compared to her, but that was the plan. Plenty of room for her in it. I can’t feed her until tomorrow morning because of the surgery. They said she might still be somewhat sedated from the anesthetics. I’m hoping she doesn’t come out of it and turn out to be a rampaging psycho. At the moment, she wants nothing more than to be near me in some way. As long as she’s next to me and I’m petting her, she couldn’t be happier. It seems like she’s going to fit in just fine. She even came when I whistled to her. She’s definitely not rottweiler/german shepard. She has lab in her. And most likely greyhound. Like I said, she’s too sleek for either of the first two really. She’s very pretty though. Kinda goofy looking sometimes.

A new addition to the family.
It was decided that the new pet of the house was to be a dog. The Michigan Humane Society actually had a pretty well put together site with photos and descriptions, but I had no way of knowing how up to date it was, as well as the fact that the site is for the whole state, and there’s three or four shelters in all. I went to the main shelter in Detroit.

Farewell to Branna.
I came home today and she could hardly move. I took her to the vet again. He said that the probable possibility was kidney failure. It was the only explanation that made sense, considering she’d had such a healthy appearance all along, and then went so abruptly downhill. But even that sort of baffled him. Kidney issues rarely show up in such a young ferret. He said he’d not seen a ferret that sick. And that there was nothing he could do. They could keep her, give her IV fluids, force feed her… Do bloodwork to verify what was wrong… But ferrets don’t have that much blood in the first place. And he didn’t think she would come through anyway. She would be miserable through all of it. Only to find out later that we’d have to euthanise her anyway…

Muffin love.
I felt really bad separating the ferrets. I got Bran first… and then my roommate got one. She was dubbed the “little sister.” Though they were from the same breeder, the likelihood of them actually being related is pretty much non-existant, but she was younger and smaller, so therefore considered “little.” At least she was the smallest. When I left for two week’s vacation, Bran quit eating (separation anxiety anyone?) and she was suddenly the smaller one. So who knows.
