Image of Sophie falling asleep on a pillowcase. Sometimes they will claim something still warm from the dryer before I have a chance to fold it and put it away (which means it will be a ferret bed for awhile and return directly to the wash).

Brown ferret curled into a ball to sleep on a pillowcase.

Took a break from unpacking to play with ferrets. Sophie immediately started dooking when I asked, “Do you want to play?” Sophie wants to play with humans. Lily wants to play with Sophie. Notice how Lily tried to engage in play several times before she finally got Sophie to play with her.

Sound on to hear the dooking.

 

 

 

 

We’re in the new house and unpacking.  Brigid is “helping” by taking things and storing them where she thinks they should go.  Also: this is how I lose my shoes.  Brigid is also fond of my bras; she will steal them out of the laundry basket if I forget to not place them there. I was down to my last one before I discovered her “bra bed” stash in the last house, where she was curled up sleeping. How would this house be organized if the ferrets chose where everything went?

Changing the bedding, I stripped the blankets and tossed them on the floor. The blankets ended up staying there for a couple days because the twins decided this was their new favorite place to sleep.

Eventually, laundry had to happen, along with a bunch of other cleaning.  In addition to packing for an overseas trip, we needed to make sure our rental was presentable for showing.  Let’s just pile on the tasks, shall we?

We moved the tech and other valuables out, but still have moving boxes stacked in some spaces. Upon our return, we will have guests visit us for a couple days, then pack more, sign papers, and (hopefully, if all goes well) move to a new home.  That’s right: we gave notice, but nothing is 100% set for the next steps.  We’re just living in liminal spaces these days!

In a few weeks, I hope to have more solid updates – hopefully happy updates – and lots of pretty pictures to share.

Brigid likes to get into the bin of paper pellets to play or scratch her back. It always makes cleaning the litter box more interesting.
