Brigid in Reading Nook

This morning, Brigid was upset because our rental’s HOA was taking a small chain saw to trim trees and bushes around our patio. Loud! Then one guy even dared to step through the gate onto our patio, which had Brigid’s fur poofed out in response.  She became even more agitated when she saw chunks of the shrubbery fall to the ground.   

Time to exit that part of the house.  Perhaps the reading nook would be a more relaxing place for her right now. She still looks rather intense, and seems to be accusing me of something.

Helen and the Styrofoam

My friend recently reminded me of this moment (circa 2018), and I love revisiting this video. Helen came up to me, asking to get into the shower. She was covered in styrofoam and wanted to wash off. This video is me figuring out, in real time, exactly how that happened.

Lesson learned! Don’t start to open a box with packing material in it and then walk away for even a moment. Helen had dug a tunnel through the foam in the box. Luckily she didn’t ingest any of it!

Lily non-blurry

April 18, 2025.  How about a non-blurry photo of an awake Lily for today’s ferret fix? Except when she’s receiving scritches, Lily has two speeds: sleeping and zooming.  Sometimes I can get her to pause mid-zoom long enough to get a picture. For every picture like this, there are about 50 or so blurry ones.   Small brown ferret with white and brown mask looking up at the camera.

Elsa got her nails done

After trimming Elsa’s nails at the vet, I put her in the carrier hammock and said, without thinking, “Stay there a moment.” And she did. She stayed like that, blinking up at me, waiting for me to say “Okay” to signal she could get up now.  Realizing what just happened, I first took a picture and then gave her the okay. Elsa was not a very ferret-like ferret in so many ways. This picture is likely from 2016 or 2017.
