Language and malls

6am. Me, two ferrets, and a clamshell-style ferret carrier.

Me: okay guys, get in the carrier.
Ferrets: *blink*
Me: no, seriously, it's time to go to the vet.
Ferrets: *get into carrier, otto on the bottom, butters on the top half.*
Me: butters, get in the bottom, please.
Butters: *slithers over divider onto bottom part of carrier, lies on his back, blinks at me*
Me: *cracks up*

I knew talking to them would pay off.

Of course, it's all fun and games until both of them have reactions to their shots, and have to be put under observation at the vet's for an hour. Which is why I am at the mall at this ungodly hour of the morning, posting this from my iPhone. And, likely, looking like a big nerd. C'est la vie.

One of the ad kiosks keeps playing a commercial for the new 90210. All I have to say to that is, seriously? I mean, I loved Dylan mckay as much as the next girl, but can't this generation have its *own* trash? Man, kids today.

Maybe I will go buy a little screen cover for the iPhone, since I am 30 feet from an apple store with no queue.

Let's see if this will post.

PS: I'm sure the ferrets are fine, reactions are sadly common, nobody panic.

Butters. So good and obedient. :) That's fantastic.

(hope the reactions wear off soon!)

Yes, we are home and they are fine. For some reason, ferrets often have reactions to shots - which is why I get to drive allll the way down for their rabies shot one week, and then drive alllll the way back in three weeks for their distemper - vets like to not give more than one shot at a time. But other than some barfing and general unhappiness, they are fine.

Off to go clean my house (we're having our annual football draft party next week - you're totally invited if you want to come over; I can reserve the couch for you to sleep on! :)

Glad the furry ones are fine.
