We have babies!
That's right! Marni and I are now the proud parents of two little slinkies with fur, AKA: Ferrets. Their names are Zoë and Broots. Zoë means "life" in Greek, though that is not the real reason that we named her that. We named her after a character we liked profoundly in The Pretender series. Which is also where we got the name Broots for our little boy.
Sleeping Babies
I'm lucky that I got this picture of them. The other ones that we tried to take were all blurry since they are constantly in motion (unless sleeping). Like this one of Broots playing with his favorite toy (better than anything that we bought!). It is a water bottle that he chases all over the bathroom and omNomNom's on in excitement. He is singularly minded on getting the damn thing whenever he notices it is in the same room as he is.
Broots omNomNoming the bottle
Zoë thinks that it is interesting, but is more excited to run and jump and get mom and dad. She's also a little explorer. He probably would be too if we did not have a bottle for him to chase insanely around the room.
Zoe exploring the Master Bath
I am not sure why the bottle is not moving in this picture. If there is a bottle nearby, Broots is usually attacking it; often shoving it into Zoe as she explores and rolling right over her.
Right now we have them in our piano/book room where we have our Christmas tree. Marni and I decorated it the other night and when we were looking for a place for the babies, it seemed like a nice (warm) place for them.
Our Christmas Tree
Broots likes to dig in his food dish and they are definitely little shit machines, but they're beautiful and warm and funny! Now if we can get all of our Christmas/Hanukkah cards out, we won't be as rushed!
