\"Day<\/a><\/p>\n

I pet-sat today for Phil, who went out of town for the weekend. His roommate, who usually does the pet-sitting, is currently in New York City, auditioning for some band that’s been in an iPod commercial or some shit. Ya rly. Anyway, it was cool getting to let myself in the house to play with the animals. Of course we all remember Sir Howard the Lap-Bound<\/a> and King Felix<\/a>, but another ball of fur has been added to the pack: Ms. Loretta. <\/p>\n

The story behind Loretta is kind of crazy, and not really mine to tell, so I can’t get too specific, but I will anyway. The vet clinic we used to go to called Phil up and said that some lady had dropped off her ferret there to be euthanized, and that there was nothing wrong with said ferret (named “Mr. Chips”), and would Phil be interested in adopting the ferret so as to spare it an untimely death? Phil visited with Mr. Chips and fell in love and brought Mr. Chips home and christened him “Loretta,” since he’s actually a she (this might be indicative of how ferret-tarded Eastgate is<\/a>, since they couldn’t even determine the right fucking gender) and then introduced her to Felix, who doesn’t much care for youngstuff. I wouldn’t say that they don’t get along, but I also wouldn’t say that they do. <\/p>\n

Loretta came with a bag full of toys and a handwritten page of very specific instructions. She prefers a certain shampoo, she gets as much paste as she wants, she likes to play with a specific set of shiny rocks. Etc. Except that kind of shit doesn’t phly in Phil’s household, so she’s getting used to being around Felix and Howey and not having to take as many baths, and she seems to be acclimating quite nicely. She’s feisty and vocal and likes to nibble a little too much. Obviously, I like her very much.<\/p>\n
