The Beginning

So I just got off the phone with a friend who convinced me it would be a good idea to start writing a book. It's not going to be about me, it's about this wonderful, playful, annoying, curious ferret that has been dropped ever so lovingly into my life.

Her name is Zoe.

She came to live with me when my best friend from SWT got engaged and then moved in with her husband. He had 2 dogs, she had 2 cats and a ferret. I was the maid of honor that was willing to do anything to make the whole process easier. Turns out his dogs are more of the hunting OCD type and we didn't want Zoe to become part of the food chain.

So Zoe came for "trail" sleep over to see if it would work out. We're still in the process of the trail sleep over.

Approximately 3 months after the sleepover began I got a random phone call from the friend. I had heard how one of her cats was not getting along with the dogs. They tried taking Gracie to another home and it was not successful for poor Gracie.

That evening they both brought Gracie over to drop her off until we found a new home for her. I wish I had been able to get a photo of my friend and I on the floor of my bedroom, her husband standing not far behind trying to get a peek of the cats make crazy noises at each other while Zoe excitedly greeted a not very happy Gracie. Ami, my cat, was not very thrilled after being the only focus of my love and attention for a full year.

I think she's still not very happy with me.

So now Zoe has been living with me for just over a year and I already have so many interesting stories from everything they all get into.

I hope you all enjoy the stories to come and the recalling of many past adventures of this interesting household.
