So I just got home... it's just me and my kiddo for now. It's nice to have him home... he's spent the night away several times this week due to spring break. I've missed him.
On the way home from PetSmart he rode in the front seat with me. Emma had just thrown up in the back so he didn't want to sit back there. We talked a lot. It was nice.
I just ordered pizza because I'm tired of being out and I've got a ton to do here. Nothing pleasant; mostly just cleaning that I've neglected all week. Oh, and the ferrets. I don't really see Friday as a great day to go out or hang out because I'm always exhausted from the week by then so that's my ferret-cleaning day. May as well get it over with so that if I have guests over during the rest of the weekend my house won't smell ferret-tacular. Don't get me wrong; I like ferret musk. But there's six in our house right now and it can be a bit overwhelming if not tended to.
My carpet looks so disgusting. It's needs a good shampooing. But I'm not doing it until the bathroom is fixed so that I can put Scooty back in there during the day. He'd pee on my clean carpet I just know.
I need to hang out with Hairy. I haven't held her in like two days. That's not cool. 😕
Anyway...

Speaking of...
Geez, where to begin?? How about with:
Today was hectic, (but I'm not complaining). We went to work today and that was fine. Then I went to PetSmart to do my Saturday routine of cleaning up and caring for the kitties that are there waiting to find homes and that was more eventful than usual. There was a cat named Snickers who was kind of new there. She is SO pretty. She's Siamese with long hair and the most beautiful BLUE eyes I've ever seen on a cat. She acted a little weird when she first got out to stretch and play, but I think that's probably because she's not used to the new place yet. Then there was Cotton who's a thick white man cat. He's beautiful and has a ton of personality to boot. Really pretty green eyes, also. Today when I let him out to clean his little kitty apartment he kept getting back in there and playing with my cleaning supplies and swatting my hands and stuff. It was so cute. 😊 When he wasn't busy playing with me he was loving on me... you know how cats do - with their faces all over you and purring. I LOVE THAT. 😍 It makes me feel all gooey.
Then I had a little surprise. There was another new kitty named Adrian. I can't remember if that one was male or female, but whatever. It was really shy at first seeing as how it was new, also. But you just give me a few minutes on the ears and that seems to loosen them right up. 😉 So I was petting Adrian trying to get it at ease enough to come out of it's cage and after a moment it got up and walked toward me. It walked straight through it's litter box and climbed up the front of me (literally), all the while the litter from it's paws going all down my shirt. Ehh, I didn't care. I also didn't care when it slipped and instinctively dug a claw into my neck drawing a little blood. I kept petting it. Those babies don't get all the loving they deserve. It was so sweet... it was walking back and forth on my shoulders while I awkwardly reached back to pet it... it would nuzzle my face and drool on my cheek and stuff. 😍 Anyway, it stayed on my shoulders for a good 15 minutes, at least, before I decided I had to go ahead and get back to work. It seemed really angry when Nick got it off me. 😞 Poor kitty... I wanted it to stay, too. ... I love cats. If I could have any I can think of a few I'd adopt right off.
Speaking of adopting... yeah, we might be sort of thinking of adopting a dog I fell in love with... She's gorgeous. Nick has never met her, but he's seen pics of her. I think he'd like her a lot in person so we're going to set it up where he can meet her. I guess if she passes the Nick test then she'll move on to the Scooter test... and if she passes then we'll make a decision. I'm surprised Nick would even kind of consider this, (I haven't even been bugging him about it, I don't think), but I'm really excited. We really don't need any more animals, but I feel terrible for Scooty. He seems so lonely. And she needs a home. (She's in a foster home right now so I should say, rather, that she needs a permanent home).
Speaking of foster homes: We got two ferrets that we're fostering for a friend today. I think we're supposed to pick up a third tomorrow... that's all fine with me. I've never fostered an animal before so I would imagine that it would be hard to give them up after a while, but at the same time I know deep down that they're not mine so maybe that will prevent me from getting too attached. Plus, they're going to an awesome home where they'll be loved and well cared-for so at least I know they'll be taken care of. That seems like it would make things easier, (the peace of mind, that is.)
After we picked up the ferrets we determined that they desperately needed a nail trim. So I did it. In fact, I trimmed all the ferrets nails today, plus Scooters, and his foot fur. Scoot-Scoot can't walk when he's on a slick floor because of all the hair on his feet - he slides around and while it's hilarious it's probably not good for him. Plus, he chews it a lot so I'm guessing it bothers him to have so much there. Anyhoo, I felt proud after I groomed everyone. I had fun and no one got hurt. What more can you ask for??
Speaking of having fun we got a Wii today. Speaking of what more you could ask for, we had the most delicious dessert at IHOP yesterday. It was a cheesecake banana crepe with caramel and whipped cream on top and ice cream on the side. It was TO-DIE-FOR, which, as bad as it probably was for me just might happen. But I hope not. 😁 Anyway, that's it. I'm off to watch "28 Days Later" with the Nick in my life. ❤ to you!
