Ferret Poop Is Not Getting The Best of Me

It hasn't been the best day. I'm still worried about Fausto. The runny brown poop is back but in less quantity.

And I had a hard time cleaning it up. Industrial strength tub and tile cleaner didn't bring it up. But I remembered another product in the cleaning cabinet.
Only two applications and all sign of the poop is gone. Then I just had to worry about not killing the ferret with toxic fumes.

So come Monday -Avain and Exotic Hospital, expect a call from me. I sure hope you aren't observing President's Day Weekend.

I spent Fausto's vet money on new tires. And it turns out Discount Tire was correct, you have to replace all Subaru AWD tires at once. That's four tires not two. And they need to have their stem piece replaced as well. Luckily, property tax isn't due for another week, so we might spend property tax money on Fausto.

And while I'm complaining. I was going to throw Bailey's bed out just now. I gather up the trash, and what do I find?

Thanks to our dog Bear for continually chewing this thing up, how am I going to evict Bailey now?

I had other problems today. It took six weeks to get an appointment to the dermatologist. When I arrived I picked up a message on my voice mail, a project I did had an error and it needed to be fixed asap. I waited 45 minutes at the doctor's and was never seen - had to leave. Sure enough it was my error. I couldn't charge the client for all that work, he'll probably never use me again.

Some days are unlucky. And today is Friday the 13th. I'm not normally superstitious, but my first four ferrets all died on a Friday the 13th, and the 5th was cremated on a Friday the 13th. Perhaps I should have stayed in bed, but who'd worry about Fausto?
