The trip to the vet was fine. Pickle eagerly sucked down her medicine before we left, but it didn’t do anything to sedate her until about 5 minutes before we were seen, and even then it didn’t do much to her. She took her rabies shot like a champ, and the vet said she’s got the most adorable little black nose and cutest name. She also said she was a chunky ferret, tipping the scales at just over 2lbs.

We headed to Mom’s house from the vet’s, where she got to run around Nanny’s house where there’s nothing for her to really get into. Or so we thought, until she figured out how to get into the bottom drawer of Nanny’s massive antique desk. She also investigated every nook and cranny in the place, poking her head out every couple of minutes as if to say “get this dustbunny off my face!” Then she got to run around upstairs in Mom’s place, which she loved, and Tuffy (the dog) loved even more. Tuffy was very interested in Pickle, giving her the traditional ass sniffing, but Pickle completely ignored him after sniffing his face once. Then she spent the rest of the night curled up in the dog crate under a jacket while Tuffy sat at the door and stared at her, wanting her to come out and play. Mom held her and she snuggled right up to her, a sure sign that the combination of the Benedryl and busy day had completely worn her out, as she never sits still. She did manage to get enough energy on the way home to completely tears apart the inside of her carrier in attempts to get out.

Tomorrow is supposed to be fucking nasty out all day. Thankfully we’re no going anywhere, unless we hit the grocery store later in the afternoon. I’m going to dye my hair and play WoW and work on the monkey a bit, and maybe put on a movie or two. Eddie will sleep late. Sunday we’ll sleep late and go back to Mom’s.
