Sophie could have been nicknamed “velcro” because she often wants to be held or directly played with. When setting her down, she will flip around and attach herself, grabbing hold of fingers or clothing to hang on. Here she is simply wrestling, but you can see how she gets a grip.
When I say it’s time to make coffee, the ferrets run to the barrier – a ferret version of a baby gate – and they start dooking, ready to go downstairs. As you can see at the very end of this clip, Brigid has figured out how to zoom down the stairs as quickly as the twins.
Speaking of coffee, I’m regretting not bringing more of this back from Scotland. It’s so good, but my past self decided that I couldn’t return with a suitcase full of coffee beans. My current self is questioning this decision.
Image of Sophie falling asleep on a pillowcase. Sometimes they will claim something still warm from the dryer before I have a chance to fold it and put it away (which means it will be a ferret bed for awhile and return directly to the wash).
Took a break from unpacking to play with ferrets. Sophie immediately started dooking when I asked, “Do you want to play?” Sophie wants to play with humans. Lily wants to play with Sophie. Notice how Lily tried to engage in play several times before she finally got Sophie to play with her.
Sound on to hear the dooking.
