Christmas Surprise!!!

So I want to give you a little update about my Christmas Surprise. Jeremie and I state every year that "we are not going to spend a lot on Christmas" every year we spend way toooo much on Christmas. This year wasn't any different. Jeremie always wants to keep track of how much we spend, I always say it doesn't matter. He always says I always out-do him, so this year not to be out-done he decided we needed to add a new addition to the family. He decided we needed a new baby ferret to go with the other three (even though we have said on many occasions we are not buying anymore baby ferrets). He went to two different stores looking for the perfect ferret, but didn't find the perfect ferret instead he found the perfect bird. Yes I said bird! We don't have birds we haven't had birds and frankly I didn't have any intention of getting a bird. But now we have Charlie. Here is the telephone conversation.....first the text message...."call me as soon as you can, I need help with your Christmas present"....(I was in the hospital on balloon call, so I couldn't call immediately)....Next text message...."when are you going to be home, I need your help"...I call Jeremie. "What do you need help with?" "Your Christmas Present!" Jeremie, what type of animal did you buy? "It's not a ferret" What type of cat did you buy? "It's not a cat or a dog" Jeremie, what type of BIRD did you buy? "how did you know?" Jeremie, why did you buy a bird? "he was cute" Jeremie, we don't know what to do with a bird "I know"..........
So now we have a new addition Charlie the cockatiel, all because Jeremie didn't want to be out-done on Christmas.

Don't worry we love Charlie and I think Charlie loves us, but we don't know how to take care of birds, but we didn't know how to take care of ferrets and now we have had 11 over the years.

Missie

Just thought I would post an update on Missie, since I know you are all curious to know how she is doing! Isn't that why we have blogs so other people can be updated about our lives. Well Missie is doing much better. Because of the prendisone she is eating like a pig, she can't get enough food, but the food only "tastes good" out of the syringe and only if mommy or daddy is feeding her. We have found a new way to give her the medicine so she won't pee on us. We mix the medicine in with her food, she is soooo excited she doesn't have to take that nasty medicine anymore, but we are fooling our poor little ferret. Do I feel bad? Of course not, I am not getting peed on anymore and she is happy. She is such a sweet girl. She loves her mommy but she is daddy's sweet girl.

Baby Missie

So I guess I will post about my daughter Missie (Mittie Moo)! Yes she is a ferret and she is so cute. We have a little bit of a problem with our missie, she has a GI bleed. Apparently ferrets are just as prone to ulcers as us humans and they get Helobactor and this causes the GI bleed. We ended up at the vet on 10/31 and he started her on the all to familiar regimen. Pepto Bismol, Carafate, Amoxicillin and Flagyl. This time he also decided to add some prendisone into the mix. We also have to syringe feed her 3 times a day. It is such a wonderful time when you have to nurse your ferret back to health. She does pretty good with the food but she absolutely hates the medicine. Especially the flagyl. Apparently flagyl has a horrible after-taste, even if we mix it with pina-colada she has a horrible time. She has such a nervous attack that she pees herself, well actually it isn't herself she pees it is me. So by the time we are done with the regimen I am covered with ferret food, flagyl, pepto bismol and piss. Great Fun! The stuff we will do for the one's we love.

What Car are You!!!!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.
