rollercoaster

a lot has happened since i last updated. i brought home my new baby Sydney and she has been doing wonderful. been super beyond busy with work. began the process again of applying for grad school. been toying with the idea of moving and have been lightening the load ever since. you know. took some vacation time before i lost the time from work, during which one of my ferrets had to be put down due to receiving a diagnosis and complications from adrenal disease and prostate cancer. and had an adventure with my boyfriend in proviencetown. so needless to say it has been a rollercoaster ride lately. i'm starting to feel like i've developed a rapid cycling bipolar diagnosis.

i did want to share some pictures to keep you updated, so here we go:

Eddie in healthier times

Making the decision to put Eddie down was one of the hardest things ever. he was in so much pain and there was not much of a chance he would have survived a $2000+ surgery or even become stable enough to have the surgery completed. i did not expect him to be the first ferret to go at all as i have another one who is almost 9 years old. one of the things i regret is not doing all of their pawprints when i had the chance. i planned to do it soon but just hadnt got around to it. luckily the crematory is going to do it for me, for a nominal fee, and i am making it a huge point to do it with the rest this week. Eddie was bonded with another one of my ferrets Alfie who has been utterly depressed and is withdrawing, barely eating, and moving less than he was. i fear this is going to be a domino effect. i truly hope it isn't but im going to have to start ensuring Alfie is hydrated with pedialyte.

hope everyone else is experiencing more stability than i am at the moment.
