Well, Nikky just turned 2 calendar months on the 25th (which makes him 10 weeks old tomorrow/Sunday) and he saw his Dr. again this past Tuesday. He now weighs 10 lbs 12 oz, and is 23 inches long. Remember, at birth he was 7 lbs 2 oz and 20.25 inches. The Dr says he's right on track for his age, so everything is going just fine there. She had to give him a prescription for his thrush (which is basically a yeast infection in the mouth), but said that it happens to almost all babies, especially if they breast feed (which he is). The infection is caused by perpetual moisture, so the inside of his lips being coated with milk most of the time is prime retail space for thrush. And not to worry. Other than that, he's still my perfect little offspring. His next appointmet is Nov. 30th, so if I don't update before then, there will be one shortly thereafter.

Not that anyone really wants to hear about this, but... I'm down to 3 ferrets now. We lost Sasha to old age on the 19th. She passed peacefully in her sleep, and had spent the morning with her boyfriend Caramon in the hex table. Hubby made a coffin for her the following morning, and she is now buried near to Mystyk beneath the dead tree. I still need to get the vining roses to plant for her, but everything else is done. Nibbler is now my only female ferret, and Dimitri scared me half to death yesterday because he was sleeping SO soundly. But he's starting to eat more again. He was getting REALLY skinny there for a while. We're thinking it had something to do with Sasha preparing to go. But all 3 are doing better now; they're starting to jump around and play more again, so that's good. Anyway, sleep peacefully our little sweetheart. We all love you. <33333
